B․Duck Enters Web3 With GigaSpace Metaverse Partnership

16 Sep 2022

At the time of writing, only one coin in the top ten crypto assets by market capitalization is a proof-of-work (PoW) token and out of the top 20, there are only three tokens that leverage a PoW consensus mechanism. Moreover, out of 50 of the largest crypto coins by valuation, only six use PoW and out of all of them, there’s roughly 230 exahash per second (EH/s) of hashpower combined.

With Ethereum changing from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), only 12% of the top 50 coins now leverage PoW. Six crypto asset networks use PoW consensus mechanisms like SHA256 or Scrypt to verify transactions and mint new coins. Bitcoin.com News recently reported on how the top ten would only see one PoW asset remain and at the time of writing, that’s bitcoin (BTC). Dogecoin (DOGE) was a top ten contender just recently, but the meme token’s market cap has been pushed down to the 11th position.

That leaves ethereum classic (ETC) as the third PoW coin in the top 20 standings today. Doge has roughly 429 terahash per second (TH/s) of hashrate or 0.00042994 EH/s. ETC has even less with 0.00022551 EH/s, which equates to 225 TH/s of hashpower. Following ETC is litecoin (LTC), which is the fourth-ranked PoW coin in the top 50. Roughly 0.000469 EH/s or 469 TH/s is dedicated to the Litecoin chain today. Behind LTC is monero (XMR) with 2.71 gigahash per second (GH/s) of hashrate. The last and final PoW coin out of the top 50 crypto assets by market cap is bitcoin cash (BCH).

Bitcoin Cash currently has 1.28 EH/s of hashpower dedicated to the BCH blockchain. Bitcoin (BTC) has 228 EH/s, and between all six PoW networks, there’s close to 230 EH/s of hashpower securing all six chains. While BTC’s market valuation commands 37.7% of the entire crypto economy’s net value, out of every PoW coin in existence, BTC equates to 94% of the PoW coin economy’s USD value.

Eight years ago, PoW crypto assets dominated the pack of top valuations, and now there are only six PoW crypto assets in the top 50. It will be interesting to see what the trend looks like in another eight years, and whether or not PoW dominance continues to slide.

What do you think about the fact that only six coins out of the top 50 largest crypto capitalizations are proof-of-work coins? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Cosmos was once again in the green, as the token moved closer to a four-month high during Friday’s session. Prices rose past a key resistance level during the day, as bullish sentiment continued to rise. Chainlink also traded higher, as prices surged for a third straight session.

Cosmos (ATOM) continued to trade higher on Friday, as the token moved closer to a multi-month high.

ATOM/USD rose to an intraday high of $16.25 in today’s session, pushing prices above a key resistance level in the process.

The aforementioned ceiling is the $16.15 level. The move comes less than 24 hours after prices were trading at a low of $14.40.

Friday’s surge takes the token closer to last Friday’s peak of $17.20, which was the highest point for ATOM since May 9.

As seen from the chart above, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is tracking at the 65.00 mark, which has historically been a level of resistance.

If cosmos were to recapture, and surge past last week’s high, then the likelihood of ATOM moving above $17.20 would exponentially increase.

Like ATOM, chainlink (LINK) also rose for a third consecutive session on Friday, as bulls continued to push prices toward a key resistance level.

Following a low of $7.07 on Thursday, LINK/USD raced to an intraday high of $7.77 earlier in the day.

This peak pushed the token closer to its long-term price ceiling of $8.05, which is the level LINK was trading at to start the week.

However, following disappointing inflation data from the United States, market volatility rose, sending crypto prices mostly lower.

Today’s surge comes as the 14-day RSI moved past a key obstacle, which in this instance is the 53.95 resistance level.

Bulls will likely continue to target a move above $8.00 this weekend, however it remains to be seen if there is enough momentum in the market to see this through.

PRESS RELEASE. Luart has announced an official rebranding to Arcnes, a move that will better position the NFT platform to innovate and grow to its fullest potential, and this is because Arcnes is more than just a marketplace; it’s a tool for blockchain-based gaming and NFT projects. In addition, the platform will assist project founders in successfully launching and selling their in-game assets alongside an unparalleled user experience.

What are Arcnes’ main features?

Arcnes will serve as the multichain launchpad and marketplace for Web3-focused gaming and NFT projects. As opposed to Luart, Arcnes prioritises the growth of the gaming crypto ecosystem. In this ecosystem, there will be a marketplace in which users can seamlessly trade or sell their favourite gaming NFTs quickly and securely.

Moreover, thanks to the launchpad, which empowers gaming projects to launch their NFT collections (or IGO), the Arcnes community will receive an added benefit as they can invest in early-stage companies. Arcnes also plans to launch an SDK that will be a ready-to-use batch of multichain smart contracts to help onboard gaming projects into Web3.

Furthermore, the Arcnes Grants will provide much-needed financial support for developing blockchain gaming projects with founders and teams with great potential. Arcnes will also set itself apart from other platforms with Horizon, a full-suite, in-house consulting product to help launch gaming and NFT projects.

What about past accomplishments and future goals?

In the past, Luart brought a new way to interact with the NFT ecosystem to the Terra Network. Unfortunately, many NFT marketplaces lacked the tools necessary to help projects with their launches, and many of the projects lacked utility at the time. The Luart platform introduced gamification through its unique scoring engine, LUA Power, and this benefited the project launches and the users utilising the Luart marketplace.

With the rebranding and re-launch as Arcnes, they will bring the same level of innovation to a new ecosystem. As per the official roadmap, the team will soon initiate the first community-engagement activities and launch their inaugural grantee from the Arcnes Grant initiative in Q1 2023. Next year, the team will also establish cooperation with traditional and blockchain native gaming studios, with an overall goal of helping over 50 projects launch utilising their SDK.

About Arcnes

Arcnes offers a complete suite of products and services for blockchain-gaming projects. The goal is to assist in developing and successfully launching these projects and the utility and NFT tokens. It is the market’s first all-in-one niched blockchain-gaming platform.

The Arcnes team consists of more than just NFT and crypto enthusiasts, as they also have over a decade of relevant experience in marketing and software development. In addition, Arcnes aspires to be the go-to platform for blockchain-gaming-focused projects.

For more information, visit the official website and the Twitter, Telegram, Discord and Medium channels, which will launch soon.
