HTX

2024 could be labeled the "Year of Staking". Staking cryptos has become widely acknowledged as a means to accumulate wealth, which is evident across various blockchain ecosystems including Cosmos, Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Currently, potential token airdrops from popular projects like EigenLayer, Puffer Finance, Merlin Chain, and BounceBit are directly igniting the "Restaking" sector, fueling FOMO sentiment in the market. What are simpler ways to engage in sharing the on-chain rewards from the Restaking sector within the blockchain ecosystem? HTX Liquid Restaking emerges as the easiest method to get access to the Restaking sector. HTX Liquid Restaking Boasts High Value, Free Claims, Greater Flexibility, and Over $100M Staking Quota Since the launch of the HTX Liquid Staking event on February 29, HTX has pioneered as the first crypto exchange to enable users to participate in Restaking without any entry requirements. Highlighted by features like high value, free claims, and greater flexibility, the HTX Liquid Restaking event recently saw its reward pool double on March 25 with the addition of another $500 million staking quota.

Visit the Liquid Restaking event page on the platform, and users can easily enroll in the event with just one click. Remember to fund your HTX account by making deposits, trades, etc., to hold at least $1 worth of BTC, ETH, USDT, HTX, TRX, or other designated assets. HTX Liquid Restaking Enables Team Participation for Enhanced Rewards As the event continues to evolve, HTX Liquid Staking has introduced a new feature: team participation. Joining teams encourages teamwork and competition, empowering participants to leverage their influence, and offering an opportunity to claim greater rewards. Participation is as simple as creating your own team or joining an existing one. According to HTX's official announcement, the exchange has decided to further boost the event's reward pool by adding $20,000 worth of $HTX specifically for team leaders. (Stay tuned for more incentives for teams and team leaders.) As for the event details, it is reported that snapshots of the event leaderboard will be taken from March 25, 2024, at 09:00 (UTC) to April 24, 2024, at 16:00 (UTC). Rewards worth $20,000 in $HTX will be distributed within 7 working days after April 24, 2024, at 16:00 (UTC). Moreover, the rewards will be given to the leaders of top-ranked teams that hold the top 3 positions for the most days within 30 days by April 24, 2024. The rankings are based on the leaderboard's snapshots taken daily at random time during the event period. Specifically, teams will be ranked based on the team participating amount (the total assets of all members enabled for Liquid Restaking for the designated cryptocurrencies).

HTX Ventures Invests in Camp Network to Build the Future for Onchain Consumers

HTX Ventures

Singapore / April 3, 2024 – In a move that underscores its commitment to broadening the reach and usability of Web3 technologies, HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of the cryptocurrency exchange HTX, has strategically invested in Camp Network. This innovative modular Layer 2 blockchain is specifically designed to cater to the unique demands of on-chain consumers within the vibrant sectors of music, media, and entertainment. Camp Network has announced the closure of a robust $4 million funding round. This new capital will be used to support the network as it approaches its mainnet launch and to accelerate the growth of over 20 teams already building within the Camp Network ecosystem. James Chi, Co-Founder of Camp Network, articulated the significance of this financial milestone, stating, “Blockchain infrastructure has developed tremendously over the past few years, and the future of blockchain will be defined by how this technology is delivered to and used by consumers worldwide. This investment will propel Camp Network’s mission to redefine the future of on-chain consumers and further develop our ecosystem for any consumer use case.” Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures, elaborated on the rationale behind their investment: “For blockchain to gain widespread adoption, it's crucial to offer Web2 users innovative usability and experiences. The entertainment industry's exploration of new experiences for artists and fans sets the stage for Camp Network. By integrating Web2 user data with the Web3 experience, Camp Network aims to bridge the gap between traditional and new digital landscapes. Given the team's expertise, enthusiasm, and their success in current client on-boarding, this company could mark an exciting milestone for the Web3 industry.” User engagement data is one of the most valuable datasets, yet applications today struggle to track it. Through its “digital backpack,” Camp Network leverages off-chain engagement data from social and streaming apps—where most users’ digital identities exist today—to help consumer applications better understand and incentivize valuable behavior. The team has made incredible progress in the last three months since its initial launch. There are 20+ teams already building in Camp Network’s ecosystem, including a combination of native teams as well as teams migrating over from larger ecosystems. With the completion of its successful seed round, Camp Network is looking to double down on its ecosystem efforts to redefine consumer crypto. The company is launching its public testnet in April, ahead of a mainnet launch in June. About Camp Network Camp Network is a modular layer 2 blockchain built for mass adoption and use cases that people enjoy and engage with every day — culture, music, gaming, film, social media, sports and live events. The founding team is composed of three Berkeley alumni, and its broader team is made up of former employees from Goldman Sachs, The Raine Group, Figma, CoinList and Chainlink.

Fast-Charging Lithium Batteries Could Send EV Adoption into High Gear

MarketJar

As the electric vehicle market continues gaining momentum, one innovation could quicken mainstream adoption: fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. Lithium batteries, which are used in everything from smartphones and tablets to ebikes and electric vehicles (EVs), are continuously being upgraded to improve safety and efficiency. When it comes to EVs, consumers want batteries that charge quickly and provide range. Fortunately, a new discovery at the University of Liverpool could completely transform lithium-ion batteries and make charging significantly faster than ever before. Researchers at the University of Liverpool just revealed a solid-state material capable of conducting lithium ions at unprecedented speeds. Consisting of non-toxic earth elements, this new material could replace the liquid electrolytes found in today's lithium-ion batteries, improving safety, energy capacity and charging time. 1 This discovery was achieved by employing a unique blend of AI, physics-based calculations, and expert chemistry knowledge to identify and synthesize the material. This approach not only accelerated the research process but also ensured that the material's properties were optimized for real-world application. Another barrier preventing mainstream EV adoption is cost, with many consumers waiting for more affordable electric options to come to market. Although prices for new electric vehicles have dropped significantly in recent months, low lithium prices and a lack of spending on new projects are setting the stage for another supply crunch. 2 Luckily, Canadian lithium company E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETL) (FSE:OW3) (OTCQX:EEMMF) is swiftly advancing its Clearwater Project towards commercial operations using Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology to produce high-purity, battery-grade lithium. A Key Player in the Lithium Sector With a Strong Financial Position After achieving notable milestones in 2023, including upgrading its resource to 16.0 million tonnes of LCE, successfully demonstrating the commercial viability of its DLE technology and producing high-purity battery-grade lithium hydroxide, E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETL) (FSE:OW3) (OTCQX:EEMMF) is gearing up for a significant year of expansion in 2024. Key goals for E3 Lithium in 2024 include advancing the Clearwater Project towards commercial operations, with milestones such as progressing engineering studies, advancing commercial permitting, as well as completing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and releasing the NI 43-101 report. The PFS will provide detailed insights into the design of the first commercial facility and result in the booking of reserves, a significant milestone for Canadian lithium brines. E3 Lithium (TSXV:ETL) (FSE:OW3) (OTCQX:EEMMF) is well-funded to reach its projected milestones this year thanks to ongoing support and strategic partnerships. On April 2, the company announced the final $375,000 of a $1.8 million grant awarded by Alberta Innovates in 2021. Through the support of Alberta Innovates, E3 Lithium has successfully de-risked the commercial viability of its brines and has selected a DLE and flowsheet for its first commercial facility that outlines the most viable path to commercial operations. E3 Lithium also previously secured a C$3.5 million grant from Natural Resources Canada and raised close to C$30 million through oversubscribed fundraises. With enough resources to produce approximately 150,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium per year once fully operational across multiple commercial facilities, E3 Lithium is well-positioned to play a key role in supporting the growing demand for lithium in the electric vehicle industry.

He discussed the novelty of the lithium industry and the widespread lack of understanding about different types of lithium deposits, such as brines, hard rocks, and sedimentary deposits. Nevada Lithium aims to educate investors about these differences and the supply-demand dynamics crucial for industry growth. Recent drill results from the Bonnie Claire project have revealed high-grade lithium mineralization, indicating significant potential for Nevada Lithium. However, Rentschler noted that market response has been muted, possibly due to the focus on lithium spot price fluctuations. He also discussed the impact of recent major industry and governmental developments, such as the U.S. government's construction loan for Sacra Pass and a joint venture between Mitsubishi and a Canadian lithium producer, on investor sentiment and the market. Rentschler believes the lithium industry is at a tipping point, with a mismatch between supply and demand poised to drive future price increases and enhance the value of lithium projects. He emphasized Nevada's strategic position and the Bonnie Claire project's significant resources and grade improvements, as well as the state's support for lithium extraction. His goal is to bridge the knowledge gap among investors and stakeholders, providing clarity on the lithium market's trajectory and Nevada Lithium's role within it.
