๐Ÿ’ซDeFi offers favourable propositions for anyone, regardless of their expertise, to participate in an always evolving ecosystem that offers numerous opportunities to level up financially.

๐Ÿ‘ถAs a beginner, one of the best things about decentralized finance (DeFi) is the opportunities the sector provides for earning a passive income.

๐Ÿ“ŠDeFi projects offer users to commit their crypto assets to secure decentralized protocols and in exchange, these protocols will provide passive income on the deposited assets for the users.

๐Ÿ”ฅIn $AGV, we've different methods you can use to gain maximum value from your crypto assets and earn passive income for yourself through the play2earn model of NFT gaming.

โ›“DeFi 2.0 is a new phrase in the blockchain world that refers to a subset of DeFi protocols built on prior DeFi breakthroughs like yield farming, lending and other things. Many on-chain systems with native tokens experience liquidity constraints, which is a crucial focus of notable DeFi 2.0 implementations.

๐Ÿ‘‰The various limitations of DeFi 1.0 are:

โ€”The first stumbling block concerns the usability of DeFi platforms because of the UX and UI complexity that makes it difficult for newbies to use decentralized products.

โ€”DeFi solutions are built on the Ethereum blockchain and owing to the enormous number of users on the network, there are considerable delays and transaction costs are skyrocketing.

โ€”Yields are not as appealing as they once were,which has resulted in a recurrent farm and dump scenario, resulting in unhealthy cash flow for practices and many other issues that contribute to inefficient asset use.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV has developed its own Blockchain network which will result in faster transactions for a fraction of a cost and protocols with more comprehensive user experience making DeFi interaction easier.

โ›“Roughly 5% of the world understands the benefits blockchain brings, among which are primarily those holding cryptocurrencies. By this count, this leaves 95% of the world in a position yet to recognize the value of the technology in their own lives.

๐Ÿ•ธWeb3 represents the future of the internet where users operate in a decentralized way rather than relying on large private businesses or centralized government bodies. As DeFi popularity grew in 2021, more projects and protocols made their way onto the market, all trying to bring the benefits of DeFi to as many people as possible.

๐Ÿ›While itโ€™s possible that government regulation and the dawn of Web3 could bring crypto into the mainstream, they both potentially have the power to shape the future of crypto and DeFi and decide where the movement goes next.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV is playing its part in bringing the adoption of crypto to the world with its unique concept of lending out community owned NFTs to the players who canโ€™t afford it and begin their crypto journey.

๐Ÿ•ธIn a Web3 world, people control their own data and bounce around from social media to email to shopping using a single personalized account, creating a public record on the blockchain of all of that activity.

๐Ÿ‘‰Examples of applications that utilize Web 3.0 technologies are:

โ€”Siri uses speech recognition, along with artificial intelligence, to be able to perform complex and personalized commands.

โ€”Wolfram Alpha is a โ€œcomputational knowledge engineโ€ that answers your questions directly by computation, as opposed to giving you a list of webpages like search engines do.

1. Ownership of Information or Data:
The end-users will regain complete ownership and control of their data and have the security of encryption. Information could then be shared on permission/need or case-by-case basis.

2. Access to Information:
The vision is to ensure the user can have access to information as much as possible from anywhere in the world.

3. The Permissionless Blockchain:
The users will not be restricted on account of their income, geography, orientation, gender or a series of other demographic and sociological factors.

4. Uninterrupted Service:
The data will be stored on the distributed nodes to ensure redundancy, and multiple backups will prevent seizure or server failure

๐Ÿ’ปNFTs represent an opportunity for game developers to create games with player-owned economies; where the community of holders are both the early supporters of the game but also the main actors of its development and true stakeholders of its success.

๐ŸŽฎBlockchain games attracted 1.22 million unique active wallets in March, and more than half of the industryโ€™s activity came from game DApps or gaming applications with play2earn incentives.

๐Ÿ’ธAfter citing that $720 million was invested into blockchain games and infrastructures in February in a previous report, the latest number for total Q1 investment is $2.5 billion. Venture capitalists and other investors raised $4 billion in 2021.

๐Ÿ“ŠThe ownership entitled by NFTs and the underlying financial ecosystem enabled by cryptocurrencies and play2earn games will shift the paradigm from the traditional metaverse that is limited to just virtual, augmented reality.

๐Ÿš€$AGV gaming guild is all in, making the play2earn sector a gateway for new users to the crypto world with its concept of lending costly NFTโ€™s to the players who canโ€™t afford it and share the profits with the community.

๐ŸŽฎThe gaming landscape is already home to tons of user-generated content, virtual goods and environments, and it offers an easy entry point for those who might otherwise be nervous about exploring the metaverse.

๐ŸคPeople already familiar with Minecraft, for instance, are happy to try new virtual experiences within the games, like concerts and events, because theyโ€™re already familiar with the landscape.

๐Ÿ“According to studies, participation in the metaverse is already growing at a phenomenal pace within the gaming landscape.

โ€”65% of people have engaged in a media experience like watching an in-game TV show, movie, or premier on a gaming platform or participating in a live concert.

โ€”69% of people have taken part in social activities, like socializing, meeting new people, or traveling to digital environments in a gaming environment.

โ€”72% of people have taken part in metaverse economic activity, like purchasing in-game items, investing in in-game currency, shopping at virtual marketplaces, or trading with other players in the gaming landscape.

๐ŸŒThe physical and digital environment overlap is becoming even more evident as we invest in a wider number of โ€œdigitalโ€ events following the pandemic and implement new technology like extended reality into the experience

๐ŸŒWhile a majority of tokens promise to solve real-world problems, only a few achieve this, and the others are mere speculative investments.

๐ŸŽฏThe bull market may be over, but that doesnโ€™t mean traders have to stop investing. Here are a few ways to invest in crypto even during a bear market.

Stablecoin Farming
The cryptocurrency market is well known for its high volatility and high-risk trades, but earning a yield on stablecoins is a safer way to grow a portfolio without the downside risk of investing in Bitcoin and altcoins.

Play To Earn games
NFT Play2earn games have proven to be lucrative with many players earning well through them. Crypto games offer different ways for players to earn money through play-to-earn gaming models.

Lending
Perhaps the simplest use case offered to cryptocurrency holders is also one of the oldest monetary applications in finance: lending.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV gaming guild offers different NFT games which are crypto rewards based. They provide the users to earn while playing games and can further trade the in-game resources in the marketplace and make earnings.

๐Ÿ•ธThe transition from Web2 to Web3 is inevitable and as the demand for decentralization gains momentum, several important questions are being raised about the current state of blockchain technology and its promised โ€œdecentralization.โ€

๐Ÿ“ŠWeb2 is now at its peak in terms of centralization, from data monitoring and social media platforms censoring to banning users without valid reasons, thereโ€™s no shortage of problems that need to be resolved by Web3.

๐Ÿ”ฅAnd, when a network is censorship-resistant, information travels freely and people can connect and transfer value without boundaries. Web3 gives us back the freedom that we are currently paying for using Web2 and thatโ€™s why it is such a powerful force.

๐ŸคWeb3 gives control to the people and provides access without locking anyone out, as it's decentralized and there is no centralized point of control. Web3 helps fulfill human potential and empower freedom.

๐ŸŽฏWith AGV we challenge what the current system looks like and foster an environment where we cooperate to make true decentralization happen, Web3 will provide us a better version of the Web as we know it.

๐Ÿ›DeFi has opened up favourable prospects for accessing financial services on a decentralized infrastructure. At the same time, it has also prepped many paths for earning passive income with DeFi.

๐Ÿ”ฅWith multiple investment options such as yield farming, staking, becoming a liquidity provider, and crypto lending, you can earn passive income easily. The common thing in all the answers for โ€œhow to invest in DeFiโ€ refers to locking your assets in a DeFi protocol.

๐Ÿ’ฐThe type of returns on your assets depends on the method you have selected. For example, if you are providing liquidity to a platform, you get the rewards in form of LP tokens which you can further invest and earn more known as yield farming.

๐Ÿ“ŠOn the other hand, staking also gives the additional rewards of governance privileges in the protocol.You can choose the one you want according to your flexibility and participation in DeFi.

๐ŸŽฏBefore the arrival of DeFi, crypto assets were a mysterious enigma for financial investors and traders. The AGV gaming guild is opening new doors for the users to start new streams of passive income with playtoearn gaming model.

๐Ÿ–ผMany people question whether there are use cases for NFTs. However, although the concept is in its infancy, several potential uses have already emerged

๐Ÿ”ธTickets
One of the uses of NFTs includes booking of event tickets. If the tickets are created using a non-fungible token, if you make an exchange of that ticket, there is a record of that exchange because there is no chance of replacing the token on a blockchain associated with that ticket

๐Ÿ”ธFashion
A non-fungible token could show crucial data about the origins of an item, such as the materials used, where they were sourced from, and how far the item has travelled. As issues around fashion and sustainability become more pressing, this could help people make more ethical decisions

๐Ÿ”ธCollectables
People have always enjoyed collecting memorabilia, trinkets, and other similar items. NFTs provide a way of ensuring authenticity, a kind of digital signature or stamp of approval

๐Ÿ”ธGaming
In exploring the video games industry, we explored the huge market value related to gaming. NFTs provide gamers with a way of owning unique in-game items. Whether for fun, authenticity or in a competitive nature, such tokens can power in-game ecosystems.

๐Ÿš€Like AGV guild is using community owned NFTs to lend it to the users and share the earnings that the player earns through play2earn model based gaming.

๐ŸŽฒPlay2earn is part of the next step of gamingโ€™s evolution. This new model is on decentralised space and empowers gamers to earn and own their in-game assets.

๐Ÿ”ฅPlay2earn uses NFTs to expand the idea of gaming economies. They encourage users to play, create and sell in-game assets as NFTs on the marketplace and improve the gaming experience for gamers while providing new income streams for them.

๐ŸŽฏMost of these play2earn platforms offer in-game crypto rewards that ensure that the players are financially rewarded. The entry for most of the games is simple. They can be accessed by either downloading the specific app or log into their gaming portals.

๐Ÿช™Minimum tokens are required to start playing any of the games. In most of the games, the players are required to create a character, which can be upgraded using the earnings within the game and later can be sold as NFTs.

๐Ÿš€AGV gaming guild is one such platform that is taking advantage of play2earn gaming model by lending community owned NFTs to the players who can't afford it and can start their crypto career while the guild and community shares the profit earned.

๐ŸŒŠ What are liquidity pools?

โ€”In the early phases of DeFi, decentralised exchanges (DEXs) suffered from crypto market liquidity problems when attempting to model the traditional market makers. Liquidity pools helped address this problem by having users be incentivized to provide liquidity instead of having a seller and buyer match in an order book.

โ€”Liquidity pools are a mechanism by which users can pool their assets in a DEXโ€™s smart contracts to provide asset liquidity for traders to swap between currencies. Liquidity pools provide much-needed liquidity, speed, and convenience to the DeFi ecosystem.

๐Ÿค”How Do Crypto Liquidity Pools Work?

โ€”Usually, a crypto liquidity provider receives LP tokens in proportion to the amount of liquidity they have supplied to the pool. When a pool facilitates a trade, a fractional fee is proportionally distributed amongst the LP token holders. For the liquidity provider to get back the liquidity they contributed , their LP tokens must be destroyed.

โ€”They may have been born from necessity, but their innovation brings a fresh new way to provide decentralized liquidity algorithmically through incentivized, user funded pools of asset pairs.

๐Ÿš€Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are cryptocurrency exchanges that operate without a central authority, allowing users to transact peer-to-peer and maintain control of their funds.

โ€”Difference between a centralised exchange and a DEX
As suggested by the name, centralized cryptocurrency exchanges act as a third-party between a buyer and a seller. Approximately all of the crypto transactions go through centralized exchanges since they offer more reliability.

๐ŸŽฏIf you understood what a centralised exchange is, you can probably guess what a DEX is now. The primary difference is in the fact that you have access to the private key for your own crypto wallet. Youโ€™re not dependent on a central entity to hold your cryptocurrency.

๐Ÿ“ŠDEXs donโ€™t charge any listing fees which rivals the centralized exchanges. Just a few years ago, projects would pay millions of dollars to get a token listed on a centralized exchange.

โ›“On many DEXs, transactions are executed on-chain.This means transactions occur on a single blockchain, like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon etc. Popular DEXs in the DeFi space currently include AirSwap, Liquality, Mesa, Oasis, and Uniswap.

๐ŸŒŽImportance of Metaverse in FinTech

๐Ÿ“ผMetaverse (meta + universe) creates a sense of "virtual presence" by combining technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). The Metaverse is an interactive, immersive, and collaborative shared virtual 3D universe.

๐Ÿ“ŠWith the advent of NFTs , a need has arrived for a digital medium as well for the trade of such digital tokens.

๐Ÿ“ˆMetaverse is predicted to grow in importance as a digital platform for personal and business interactions, including financial transactions. In a virtual world where you can buy and sell houses, products, clothing, land, and avatars just like in the real world, it implies a massive economic ecosystem.

โšก๏ธThe pandemic encouraged people to interact and pay digitally more than ever before. And with Metaverse gaining popularity as big names like Nike, Apple etc. launching their products, it will bring a boom in the daily volume transactions.

๐Ÿ›The most essential indicator of making the metaverse as indispensable as real life will be financial data management and techniques of managing financial transactions supplied by fintech solutions similar to real life.

๐Ÿ”ฅThe opportunities for financial growth will be unfathomable, as this will literally be creating a new world where users will interact, transact, own, exchange and share economic value.

โšก๏ธAugmented reality, or AR, is a technique that adds layers to the world as we are used to it. These layers could be visual, auditory and sensory information to intensify your experience. Companies use augmented reality techniques to promote their products, collect significant data and launch marketing campaigns. In everyday life, Pokรฉmon Go is probably one of the best-known AR examples.

๐ŸŒŽThe Metaverse is a digital landscape that participants can use to build their own virtual environments. Itโ€™s a network of different virtual worlds that you can enter through by wearing VR goggles.

๐Ÿš€Even though you canโ€™t change the world youโ€™re living in, augmented reality makes it possible to give your surroundings an extra dimension. By using images, sounds, texts or even GPS data, you can enrich the place youโ€™re in. It is key that these elements are presented spatially to affect your depth perception.

๐ŸŽฏThe AR technique has a certain degree of power, convincing your brain that those elements really exist in your environment. And, thatโ€™s the moment your current world becomes a lot more interesting.

๐Ÿ’ปWith a set of creative skills and a personal computer, you can convert your digital art into NFTs. Most of the NFT platforms have a feature to choose a selling method or an option to set a price for your NFT while minting it.

๐Ÿ”ฅNFTs are minted once they are created, similar to how metal coins are created and added into circulation. After this procedure, the particular piece of digital art becomes secure and tamper-proof, as well as hard to manipulate.

๐Ÿ“ŠTo sell your freshly minted NFT this way, you will only need to specify the price at which you want to sell it. Some platforms also ask to set a royalty percentage, the amount you will receive in case of future sales of your art, so pay attention to that, too.

๐Ÿ’ธAnother way to sell your NFT is through an auction so that buyers can browse and bid on your digital art. Some auctions may be online-only, while others may end in a full-fledged live auction.
