Polygon Ecosystem Update, January 2023: Nat Geo, K-Pop and NFT Rewards

Validated Project

Just one month in and 2023 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for the Polygon ecosystem. With so much going on, it’s easy to miss some of the exciting projects going live. So we wanted to highlight a few that are bringing new communities into Web3, developing valuable tools and exploring new applications of blockchain technology. Let’s jump in.

Say GM With NatGeo’s Inaugural NFT Collection 

National Geographic is paying tribute to the vast world of nature while celebrating 135 years by launching their inaugural NFT collection -- GM: Daybreak Around the World. It features works by 16 illustrious photographers from Kris Graves, Cath Simard, Ben Strauss, and more, capturing daybreak along with their personal greetings from all around the world.

The Collection, which is a Snowcrash exclusive, signifies Nat Geo’s vision to push the boundaries of innovative storytelling, promote access and inclusivity and uplift creators and photography as they have for over a century. The mint has already completed, but you can still get your hands on some of the NFTs available on the secondary market.

K-Pop Meets Fashion NFTs 

Starting with Gangnam Style’s breakout YouTube hit and the global legion of BTS fans to Academy-winner Parasite and chart-topping Squid Game on Netflix, South Korea is a bona fide culture powerhouse. Now one of the country’s brightest music stars is making a Web3 debut. K-pop girl group aespa is teaming up with Paper Magazine and Web3 fashion marketplace The Dematerialised to launch a digital capsule collection exclusively on the Polygon network.

The collection will debut across a series of beautiful covers for PAPERmag.com in the coming weeks, and items for the collection can be purchased on The Dematerialized’s website, like unique ae-pets and different must-have fashion accessories. Fans can register on The Dematerialised’s website ahead of time to ensure a seamless experience. It’s not too late to register to enjoy first access when the collection goes live.

It’s an NFT, It’s a Reward, It’s an NFT Reward! 

So you like some utility with your NFTs. Bnfts heard you and they are launching its decentralized protocol on the Polygon network to make it easy to mint and use NFTs as rewards. With bnfts, event tickets, vouchers, memberships, collectibles, discounts, experiences, and much more can be easily converted into consumable benefits using free-to-mint NFTs.

There are a number of ways to deliver the rewards, including token-gated websites, QR codes and NFC tags. Bnfts will also work with your project on a custom solution. Intrigued? Join the waitlist today.

StackerDAO Builds on Polygon 

There is a regulatory storm brewing and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are smack in the middle of it. In the current environment, compliance is no longer a luxury but a survival strategy. But current compliance solutions are highly intermediated, expensive, not composable, and risk user privacy.

StackerDAO Labs makes it easy to create and operate a legally compliant Web3 organization with a set of tools that allow founders, operators, and DAO members to raise funds, govern protocols, take action, and manage assets effectively without legal hurdles. The team is building its first product on the Polygon network with plans to leverage Polygon ID self-sovereign private identity solution.

Ditch the Seed Phrase With ZenGo Wallet

You know the saying: not your keys, not your crypto. Rolls off the tongue better than "not your 24-word recovery seed phrase," but they may as well be the same. With ZenGo, you are still the master of your wallet universe, but it is just simpler to onboard for all users, especially folks new to the space. ZenGo is a self-custodial wallet with no private key or seed phrase vulnerability.

ZenGo also employs best-in-class security features to prevent phishing scams and wallet-draining all while offering a guaranteed recovery model. Keeping your coins safe is Zengo’s top priority. A combination of threshold key signatures (TSS), 3-factor authentication, and facial recognition technology are deployed in the app to keep your crypto extra secure from hackers. Stay safe out there and give Zengo a try.

Together, we can build an equitable future for all through mass adoption of Web3!

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."

  • Indian billionaire Adani summoned by US SEC to explain position on bribery case

    Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and his nephew, Sahil Adani, have been subpoenaed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to explain allegations of paying over $250 million in bribes to win solar power contracts. According to the Press Trust of India (PTI), the subpoena has been delivered to the Adani family's residence in Ahmedabad, a city in western India, and they have been given 21 days to respond.

  • Tether spokesperson: The relationship with Cantor is purely business, and the claim that Lutnick influenced regulatory actions is pure nonsense

     a spokesperson for Tether stated: "The relationship between Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald is purely a business relationship based on managing reserves. Claims that Howard Lutnick's joining the transition team in some way implies an influence on regulatory actions are baseless."

  • Bitwise CEO warns that ETHW is not suitable for all investors and has high risks and high volatility

    Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, posted on X platform that he was happy to see capital inflows into Bitwise's Ethereum exchange-traded fund ETHW, iShares, and Fidelity this Friday. He reminded that ETHW is not a registered investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore is not protected by the law.

  • Musk said he liked the "WOULD" meme, and the related tokens rose 400 times in a short period of time

    Musk posted a picture on his social media platform saying he likes the "WOULD" meme. As a result, the meme coin with the same name briefly surged. According to GMGN data, the meme coin with the same name created 123 days ago surged over 400 times in a short period of time, with a current market value of 4.5 million US dollars. Reminder to users: Meme coins have no practical use cases, prices are highly volatile, and investment should be cautious.

  • Victory Securities: Funding Rates halved and fell, Bitcoin's short-term direction is not one-sided

    Zhou Lele, the Vice Chief Operating Officer of Victory Securities, analyzed that the macro and high-level negative impact risks in the cryptocurrency market have passed. The risks are now more focused on expected realization, such as the American entrepreneur Musk and the American "Efficiency Department" (DOGE) led by Ramaswamy. After media reports, the increase in Dogecoin ($DOGE) was only 5.7%, while Dogecoin rose by 83% in the week when the US election results were announced. Last week, the net inflow of off-exchange Bitcoin ETF was US$1.67 billion, and the holdings of exchange contracts and CME contracts remained high, but the funding rates halved and fell back, indicating that the direction of Bitcoin in the short term is not one-sided, and bears are also accumulating strength.

  • ECB board member Villeroy: Falling inflation allows ECB to cut interest rates

     ECB board member Villeroy de Galhau said in an interview that the decline in inflation allows the ECB to lower interest rates. In addition, the slow pace of price increases compared to average wages is also a factor in the rate cut. Villeroy de Galhau emphasized that the ECB's interest rate policy decision is independent of the Fed. Evidence shows that the ECB began to lower interest rates in early June, while the Fed lowered interest rates three months later. With the decline in inflation, we will be able to continue to lower interest rates. Currently, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting in December, but weaker data increases the possibility of a 50 basis point cut.
