BERLIN, GERMANY. August 27th, 2024 – A new era of soccer is here: ONEPLAYR is pioneering a digital revolution that redefines the digital soccer experience through blockchain, NFTs, and artificial intelligence. This platform pushes the boundaries of the game by inviting fans and players alike to actively participate in the global community—and benefit from it.

 “ONEPLAYR isn’t just a platform; it’s a movement that connects soccer lovers everywhere—whether you’re a player, a weekend warrior, or a fan. We’re linking up soccer enthusiasts worldwide and using cutting-edge technology to create a dynamic, interactive community,” says Fabio Murolo, Founder and CEO of ONEPLAYR. As a seasoned cybersecurity expert and successful startup entrepreneur, Murolo is driven by his mission to digitally democratize the sport.

ONEPLAYR uses an AI-powered analysis system where players can upload soccer videos during the registration process, which are then analyzed by the AI. Based on this analysis, the player receives a limited series of custom NFTs representing their unique abilities (a digital player card). These NFTs can be traded on ONEPLAYR’s marketplace. A TikTok-like feed and advanced search features help the community discover players.

 

“With ONEPLAYR, we’ve created a platform where the community doesn’t just watch—members can actually invest in players directly”, Murolo explains. “By purchasing a player’s NFT early on, our users can essentially secure a stake in that player’s career. As the player gains popularity within the community, the value of the NFT increases. Not only do the players benefit, but for the first time, fans who’ve invested in these NFTs do too.”

In-app ad revenue, transaction fees, and challenge royalties are fairly split between players and NFT holders. Unlike other social media platforms, this approach gives fans an active role in a player’s success.

 

At its core, ONEPLAYR isn’t just about tech innovation but creating a vibrant, global soccer community where competition and fun are front and center. Players of all skill levels compete in various challenges, while the community decides who wins. Winners earn exclusive rewards or unique experiences. In-game incentives and an active NFT marketplace offer even more engagement.

 

 

ONEPLAYR runs on a transparent token model that ensures fair distribution of rewards:

 

•        $PLAYR Token: This token allows users to purchase NFTs, earn rewards, unlock exclusive promotions, and take part in special events. It’s the primary currency for all activities within the platform.

 $PLAYR will be listed on both centralized and decentralized exchanges (CEXs and DEXs) to provide maximum accessibility and liquidity for token holders. 

•        $FAN Token: Generated by staking $PLAYR, $FAN tokens unlock access to premium perks like exclusive app features, discounts, and special in-game rewards.

 ONEPLAYR is also deeply committed to social causes: 10% of all transaction fees are donated to national and international education and youth development programs. The distribution of these donations is decided by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

 

Since August 15, the first airdrop phase of ONEPLAYR has been live. Soccer fans can earn free $PLAYR tokens by joining the ONEPLAYR Discord, participating in the “Refer a Friend” campaign, and following ONEPLAYR on various social networks. A total of 500 million coins are being distributed for free during this airdrop phase.

Starting September 15, the official presale phase of the $PLAYR Token will begin, giving fans the chance to purchase tokens at a discounted price. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is scheduled for Q1 2025. The beta launch of the app is planned for late October, with 10,000 users getting early access. The official app launch will coincide with the ICO. 

ONEPLAYR’s actions are fully transparent, with every step available to the public. Murolo states, “With this transparent approach, we aim to keep our users involved from the beginning and allow them to actively track the progress of our project.”

 

ONEPLAYR is backed by strong support and partnerships. More than 40 professional soccer players have already pledged their support, with four featured on the website. Additional well-known pros, including international stars, will be introduced soon. ONEPLAYR’s partners include the renowned creative agency Zum goldenen Hirschen, digital service provider Up Solutions, and prominent crypto lawyer Michael Kissler.

William S. Burrough’s Embarcadero and Jim Morrison’s First Love NFT collections bring the legends together again  

James Douglas Morrison, also known to millions of adoring fans over the course of 7 decades as Jim Morrison, has topped the lists of international pop-culture icons since his first album release in 1967. Now, in 2022, we have set out to mint one of the greatest collectible collections of all-time with stills from Jim Morrison’s FIRST LOVE non-fungible tokens (NFTs), as well as stills of William S. Burroughs: Embarcadero available for you to own now at Opensea.io

 

Both collections’ first drop contain 3 NFTs each in a limited edition of 110.

Morrison’s FIRST LOVE photography was the anchor point in Rod Pitman’s film Obscura. Pitman; “It’s one thing to have pictures of Jim Morrison; however, you move to another dimension when you own Jim Morrison’s pictures. Morrison as a photographer brings a certain gravitas and subsequent comfort in the work to the customer base. And then you have William Seward Burroughs, The Godfather of The Beat Generation.  As known quantities, they help change the perception of NFTs as way more than just a ‘flash in the pan’ which is an improvement on the overall market landscape.” LiveForTheRush.com

Elizabeth Buckner, who is the star and joint-author of the FIRST LOVE project says; “Jim once said, and I have always remembered, “I am a ‘voyeur’ of the human condition.” First Love is an early testament to his creativity. I believe he would appreciate and want to participate in this ‘nouveau’ currency revolution–the NFT.”  ElizabethBuckner.me  

JIM MORRISON: FIRST LOVE   

In 1964, Jim Morrison and close friend Elizabeth Buckner were joint authors of a black and white camera project. Elizabeth Buckner was the talent, with photographer Jim Morrison doubling as curator of the imagery. The result, among other things, are rare frame by frame grayscale photographs by James Douglas Morrison. The collection informs, educates and inspires the public. JimMorrisonPhotographer.com

WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: EMBARCADERO

When we see greatness, we should memorialize it. Oracle William S. Burrough’s powerful pandemic of words has always been the definition of intrigue.

The Winner Block crypto lottery recently made a donation in support of victims of war.

But what is Winner Block? They want to revolutionize online games by bringing benefits of transparency and fairness.
It’s a decentralized lottery on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain with no border or geographic limits, let’s be honest, it can be huge.

Like traditional lotteries, there can be several winners if they have the same numbers and at least one good number, it’s a system as old as the world. Especially when you know that the national lotteries in the US have prize pools of over half a billion dollars.

What is interesting for everyone is that just by owning WBlock tokens, which will be used to buy nft tickets, you also receive a share of the prize pools allocated to holders. The rest will go to a charity chosen by the community and for operating costs.

The public launch of WBlock is scheduled in a month and we will follow them closely. Remember that the one and only address to access their website is winnerblock.io.

Techno-Feudal Citizens is an NFT project with a different approach than most –creating a community that fosters critical thinking in the manic intensity of the crypto and NFT sphere. 

“Really we’re encouraging people to think for themselves. We have high hopes for the future of Web 3.0, but also some serious concerns. Especially now that major companies like Facebook / Meta have entered the space. Our project is for the true Web 3 enthusiast, the real blockchain believer,” says co-founder “Spike.” 

“Ultimately we hope this project can help bring about positive change in the world,” he continues, “both for Web 3.0 and the rest of the world too. That’s why, in addition to pointing out the flaws in big tech and the risks they pose to Web 3.0, we are also pledging 10% of our mint profits to help out in Ukrainian.”

Co-founder “GoodDr” explains how he fears that Web 3.0 could be the makings of a dystopia. “We need to fight for our freedom. That’s the way it has always been. It would be a true nightmare if big tech monopolizes Web 3.0 and the metaverse. We have a real opportunity with cryptocurrency and NFTs to take power back from unethical corporations and big government.”

The founders of Techno-Feudal Citizens are putting their money where their mouth is with the announcement of their donation. It is clear that their vision transcends the boundaries of the physical and the virtual worlds. They want to enact social change on a global scale. “We don’t want to be just another NFT project. We want to start a movement,” says “GoodDr.”

The Techno-Feudal Citizens slogan – “Join the Resistance” – is a call to act. It’s a call to be a part of something larger than yourself, according to its founders.The success of this movement is determined by the participation of the Web 3.0 community at large. Supporting Techno-Feudal Citizens is not just supporting Ukraine, it is supporting individual liberty. Fight against corruption. Join the resistance. Join Techno-Feudal Citizens.”

157 Genesis NFTs created in an auction style format ranging in exclusivity and rare traits used to kick start the launch of Alpha Shares NFT Marketplace
 
On August 15th Alpha Shares NFT Marketplace concluded its 48-hour auction of its Genesis wolves collection comprising of 10 Apex Wolves, 47 Ronin Wolves and 100 lone wolves. Market expectations of the auction were perceived at raising 3500 $AVAX (Market value approx $100,000). The auction destroyed estimates by raising 7889 $AVAX (Market Value approx $228,000) more than doubling the goals in a “bear” crypto market.
 
Why is this important? The goal of the genesis auction is to raise capital and expedite growth plans to make the Alpha Shares marketplace an industry leader multi-chain. The launch chain is Avalanche with Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana in its near-term sights. The bear market is traditionally challenging for platforms to launch in but with the explosive launch of the marketplace this project is one to engage with immediately.
 
Alpha Shares marketplace is not only beautiful by design but has the technology and partnership backing that is unlike any other marketplace. On the genesis auction alone thousands of transactions took place making Alpha Shares the #1 project by volume on the Avalanche chain during the auction.

London, UK. 27th October 2023 – Aleph Finance and SupraFin are pleased to announce they have entered into a strategic partnership for cryptoasset financial promotion approval in the UK. The strategic partnership combines Aleph Finance’s experience in the UK and European financial industry and regulatory landscape and SupraFin’s crypto risk and investment intelligence expertise. 

 

The UK government and the FCA have recently intensified their efforts to protect UK consumers concerning cryptoassets. In recent actions addressing cryptoasset firms marketing to UK consumers, the FCA has made it clear that all communications capable of having an effect in the UK must fall within the financial promotion regime. Specifically, On Oct 8, 2023, the UK government brought cryptoassets within the scope of the financial promotion regime.   

 

According to the new cryptoasset financial promotion regime, unauthorized and unregistered crypto businesses will only be able to communicate financial promotions that an authorized person has approved. Also, to be able to approve cryptoasset financial promotions, the approver must have competence in cryptoassets. 

 

Aleph Finance is very sensitive to occurrences in the fintech space and the innovation and positive changes it brings about that must benefit customers and enable them to make decisions that are informed as much as possible. 

Aleph Finance welcomes the new regime in the UK that, once again, has been a pioneer in this direction, setting an example for other regulators worldwide. 

 

“We want to be part of a positive change in the market, and we understand that partnering with people with the frontier skills, great competence and incredible expertise such as our partners at SupraFin will ensure that we make our part to strengthen the financial services industry,” said Emanuele Rigo, CEO at Aleph Finance. 

 

SupraFin is a pioneer in cryptoasset risk and has built and improved its cryptoasset risk frameworks since January 2018. Building on its cryptoasset risk frameworks, in Feb 2023, SupraFin launched its crypto ratings/risk scores and risk analysis research to help organizations and regulators reduce risk, generate alpha and comply with regulations. SupraFin has proactively engaged with regulators globally to share its cryptoasset risk insights and provide feedback on upcoming cryptoasset regulations. 

 

“SupraFin aims to help the crypto industry move to its next phase (i.e., the regulated phase), and we believe that together with companies with significant experience and competence in the regulated finance and compliance industry, like Aleph Finance, will ensure we accomplish that,” said Liliana Reasor, CEO at SupraFin.
