Miss passing cards around the office to recognize a colleague’s birthday, celebrate the birth of a child, or show sympathy for a loss?

Additionally, it is also available for CardSnacks’ personal offerings, meaning family members or neighbors can also share a single card, as long as they are a registered user of CardSnacks. Like all CardSnacks e-cards, the greetings are customizable, with the ability to add photos, videos, music, stickers, and more. Customers can also attach one of the 400 gift cards from top retailers and restaurants. More than 5,000 different card covers are available so customers can send group birthday cards, group anniversary cards, group thank you cards, and much more. “Creating shared, collaborative cards has always been a wonderful way to show recognition, support, and love to others,” Wachen said. “This new group greeting card feature is a step forward in allowing people who may be physically far away from one another to show deep connection and support, build culture, and solidify a sense of community.” For step-by-step instructions on how to set up a group greeting card on CardSnacks, visit https://www.cardsnacks.com/business/resources.

Forta Network Begins its Next Phase with the Introduction of Fees

Forta

Decentralized Web3 threat monitoring network Forta Network has announced a major milestone that will provide a significant boost for the sustainability of its network and increase incentives for its critical detection bot developer community. This month, Forta will introduce fees for the first time, requiring users to pay for the bots they consume and rewarding bot developers for their efforts. At the time of Forta Network’s 2021 launch, most detection bots were developed by DeFi protocols or third-party networks working under grants. As the network expanded, the Forta Foundation introduced its Threat Research Initiative (TRi), providing one-time bounties to incentivize developers to take part in threat-detection activities like bot development, exploit analysis, and threat hunting. The early days bounty program helped bootstrap the initial developer community, but was unsustainable long term as it offered little upside to individual developers. By introducing fees, Forta Network will establish a native incentive mechanism to reward developers for building high-quality detection bots. Once the fees go into effect, bot developers will have the opportunity for unlimited upside potential. High-quality bots which are well-maintained and promoted can attract thousands of paying subscribers. Forta’s monthly subscription model allows bot developers to generate a stream of recurring revenue from their bots. Over time, this could add up to exponentially more earnings compared to bounty and grant payouts. Forta’s subscription plans for users looking to leverage Forta’s detection bots will be two-tiered: Premium and General. All subscription revenue will be distributed to bot developers. Premium plans will include a handful of high-quality, high-value detection bots that meet the minimum requirements of FP-6, such as scam detectors. Access to each will require a separate subscription, with prices set by the bot’s owner. The owner can also decide whether the subscription is to be paid in FORT or USDC. General plans grant users access to alerts and other intel generated by all bots on the network, other than premium bots. This effectively gives users access to more than 99% of the network’s bots, including all protocol-specific bots (Lido, MakerDAO, Compound, etc.). About Forta Network The Forta Network is a real-time, decentralized network providing detection data and security monitoring across seven blockchains. Forta detects threats and anomalies on DeFi, NFT, governance, bridges, and other Web3 systems in real time, enabling wallets, protocols and investors to react quickly and proactively neutralize threats to prevent or minimize the loss of funds. Launched in 2021 and backed by a16z, Forta protects the critical infrastructure of Web3 through a decentralized and community-run network, which serves as an early warning system across the ecosystem.

This Early-Stage Crypto Project Could Be The Only Truly Decentralized Exchange Platform — Here’s What You Need To Know

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga Learn more about and invest in Swopblock via Wefunder. The value of Bitcoin has been rising significantly, experiencing an increase of over 70% since the start of 2023. Alongside this, there have been notable industry developments, such as BlackRock's Spot BTC ETF filing and Ripple's (XRP) victory over the SEC. All of these factors suggest a promising future for altcoins heading into 2024. Amidst these developments, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have gained prominence, especially following the 2022 FTX collapse and several ensuing insolvencies. Swopblock, a new entrant in this critical crypto market sub-sector, is positioning itself as a pioneering player, aiming to emerge as the world’s first 100% decentralized cross-chain exchange platform. The following article will explore the mechanics of Swopblock and its potential significance to investors who prioritize decentralization, the crypto industry's cornerstone principle. What Is Swopblock? Swopblock is an open-source, proof-of-relay (PoR) protocol facilitating peer-to-peer self-custodial cross-chain trading. Users transact directly from their wallets without giving their crypto keys or assets to intermediaries at any phase of trading. Swopblock's protocol, notable for being fully decentralized, distributes 100% of its trading liquidity across all user wallets. Swopblock’s 'Liquidity Stream' powers the network, functioning as the exchange medium driving market volume. SWOBL is the native asset of the Swopblock ecosystem. It serves as a free-flowing medium of exchange that provides the market volume equilibrium necessary for autonomous cross-blockchain trading between peers. Unraveling The Utility Behind SWOBL Swopblock is powered entirely by SWOBL, embodying 100% of the liquidity across user wallets. As SWOBL serves as a liquidity adapter for various blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin, its demand hinges on the trading volume in the Liquidity Stream. As adoption escalates, SWOBL demand increases. This allows traders, investors and holders of SWOBL (including Swopblock) to potentially capitalize on these gains. Swopblock Vs. Competitors The crypto market's decentralized exchange (DEX) sector is heavily populated, with numerous DEXs operating independently on distinct blockchains. Despite the surge in DEX popularity following the 2022 FTX collapse, complete decentralization remains elusive for cross-blockchain DEXs. Here are several reasons why these DEXs fall short of achieving complete decentralization: Centralized Elements: Liquidity pools, bridges, and pipes in decentralized structures always require management by a centralized authority. Liquidity Ownership: Providers of liquidity (whether distributed or not) are in fact intermediary custodians themselves, contradicting the very principles of decentralization. Single Failure Points: Concentrated liquidity in pools and bridges can lead to potential single points of failure, causing significant losses if compromised (hacks, bugs, etc.). Swopblock sets itself apart from competitors such as THORChain (RUNE) and Uniswap (UNI) by offering total decentralization with cross-chain capability. This is achieved by Swopblock's protocol driven medium of exchange, distributing 100% of this trading liquidity across all user wallets, thus eliminating single-points of custodial-control failure and mitigating hacking risks commonly associated with liquidity pools and bridges. Seizing The Market Opportunity: The Promising Outlook Of Swopblock According to Grand View Research, the U.S. crypto exchange platform market, valued at $7.8 billion in 2021, is projected to rise at a CAGR of 28.3%. Despite the continued prevalence of Centralized Exchanges (CEXs), DEXs have witnessed a surge in popularity following several bankruptcies and unethical practices in the centralized space. As a result, as crypto adoption continues to increase, user demand for a secure and decentralized exchange medium will also increase. Swopblock is positioned to capture this demand, given its unique value proposition of 100% distributed liquidity powering cross-chain exchange. Early Investor Benefits: Exclusive Perks For Visionary Backers Currently, Swopblock is raising capital for its protocol's official launch, providing early investors with additional SWOBL in four phases according to their investment amount and timing. At the time of writing, over 18 million SWOBL Perks from Swopblock’s fixed supply of 52.8 million has been distributed to early investors. Early exposure to this protocol might be a lucrative decision for interested investors who believe in the future of Swopblock’s superior technology. Embracing The Future With Swopblock? Overall, Swopblock appears to offer immense potential in the expanding crypto sphere. With its decentralized cross-chain protocol and 100% distributed liquidity, it sets a new standard in the DEX sector, ensuring the native chain security of self-custody. As crypto adoption increases, Swopblock’s unique decentralized approach could capitalize on the demand. Learn more about and invest in Swopblock via Wefunder This post contains sponsored content.
