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–ผNFTs 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.

โ›“Blockchain games attracted 1.22 million unique active wallets (UAW) in March, and more than half of the industryโ€™s activity came from game decentralized applications (DApps) or gaming applications with play-to-earn incentives.

๐Ÿ’ฐAfter 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›The ownership entitled by NFTs and the underlying financial ecosystem enabled by cryptocurrencies and play-to-earn games will shift the paradigm from the traditional gaming that is limited to just virtual, augmented reality.

๐ŸŽฏAGV gaming guild is leading the play2earn model, taking the adoption forward by introducing the NFT lending concept, creating earning opportunities for both players and investors.

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.

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.

โšก๏ธโ›ฝ๏ธThere are a number of strategies that can be utilized in order to solve the scalability issues which will make the gas fees almost negligible

-Scheduling transaction times:
Ethereum gas prices are known to fluctuate within the day, there are certain times during the day when gas prices are likely to be considerably lower. One way of lowering gas fees would be to take stock of these times and target them when making transactions.

-Using stable off-chain payment networks:
Multiple off-chain payment channels are working to develop a payment solution that allows for instant transaction approvals in seconds by lowest fee through its share gas system. This is done by charging a nominal fee proportional to the payment amount.

-Relayer infrastructure:
Plena Finance will be using Biconomyโ€™s relayers to provide its users with hassle free blockchain interaction and seamless user experience. A third party relayer removes the complexities by managing the transaction, paying the gas and, finally completing the transaction by sending it to a receiving address.

๐ŸฆถMeta transactions take things a step forward by allowing different users to transact on the public blockchain with zero transaction fees and AGV is also moving towards this structure.

๐Ÿ“ˆThe various fields where smart contracts finds its applications in DeFi:

โ€”Digital Identity
With DeFi, smart contracts can help counterparties learn about the individual without knowing their true identity or verify transactions. This frictionless KYC can help improve interoperability, resilience, and compliance โ€” all with the use of smart contracts.

โ€”Loans and Mortgages
Smart contracts can help improve the financial services, including mortgages and loans and ensure that the whole process can be completed in a friction-less way.

For instance, to handle a mortgage a smart contract can be created to manage it by tracking the payments and releasing the property when the whole loan is paid off.

โ€”Supply Chain Management
Smart contracts can be used to track items within the supply chain with full visibility and transparency. A business can use smart-contract-powered supply chains and improve its inventory tracking to a granular level and enhanced tracing results in fewer frauds and thefts.

โ€”Trading Activities
In this case, the middleman or broker is removed, and his work is automated with the smart contract. This removes the additional cost related to them. There are many companies using smart contracts for this purpose.

๐Ÿ“‘โ€œSmart contracts are essential for our economy as they can provide the necessary automation for decentralized platforms. Smart contracts provide a unique way of solving problems, including trading activities, clinical trials, insurance, loans and mortgages, and so on!โ€

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพWhat is DeFi Yield Farming?

โ€”Yield farming involves staking or lending crypto assets to generate high returns or rewards in cryptocurrency. It incentivizes liquidity providers for staking or locking up their crypto assets in a smart-contract-based liquidity pool. The higher the number of funds added to the liquidity pool, higher the rewards.

โ€”As an ingenious application of decentralized finance (DeFi), yield farming has acquired significant popularity globally. The yield farming market grew from $500 million to $10 billion in 2020, making it the biggest driver of growth of the still-nascent DeFi sector.

๐Ÿค”The Need for DeFi Yield Farming ?

โ€”DeFi yield farming unlocks earning opportunities for liquidity providers and platform owners alike. This has led to an increased demand for DeFi yield farming development.

โ€”For any crypto trading platform, maintaining high liquidity is paramount. Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be converted into cash or other coins without any latency. Exchange platforms with high liquidity are able to fulfil their usersโ€™ buy/sell orders quickly and easily.

โ€”Yield farming helps ensure that exchanges have enough coins and tokens in the vaults of their protocols to be able to achieve high liquidity and satisfy the requirements of traders.

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.

๐ŸงฉPeople 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.

๐Ÿค“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 travelling 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.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV is working on the front for further expanding the virtual space by making the access to the play2earn games simpler, giving out community owned NFTs to the players who cant afford them and can start their gaming journey.

๐Ÿ“ˆThe top DeFi Protocols in Crypto Space:

Aave
Aave is one of the most popular and leading lending protocols in the DeFi landscape. It utilizes the native token AAVE for the security of the protocol alongside enabling users to participate in the governance of the protocol.

Compound
The protocol features a native token, known as COMP, which users can earn by lending or borrowing assets. COMP is also helpful for the governance of important protocol decisions with the flexibility of voting and delegation through the Compound Governance Dashboard.

Uniswap
Uniswap is presently the topmost decentralized exchange in the DeFi space. Users can earn the native token, UNI, by offering liquidity to particular pools. In September 2020, Uniswap offered 15% of its supply to previous users by introducing a program, โ€œUniversal Basic Income.โ€

Balancer
The Balancer DeFi protocol focuses on automated asset management and liquidity with the facility of governance through the native token. The native token, BAL, helps in the governance of crucial protocol aspects such as support assets and protocol fees.

๐Ÿค‘These protocols offer much stable returns on your investments and the APYโ€™s offered are variable depending on the demand and supply of the assets you've invested in.

๐ŸŒ‰A Cross-chain Asset Bridge: enables the fast and cheap transfer of assets between otherwise incompatible blockchains and cryptocurrency networks.

๐Ÿค”How Does it Work?
When a user needs to convert an asset such as an ERC20 A token on Ethernet into another asset such as BEP20 A token on the BSC chain via Bridge, the ERC20 A will be locked on the source chain and then notify the bridge to generate the BEP20 A on the BSC chain before sending it to the user.

While DeFi promises a world where people can transfer their money without the hassle and transaction fees of banks, anybody who has tried to convert ETH to BNB recently knows itโ€™s not so simple.

๐Ÿ”—But with AGVโ€™s platform users can move their assets from one chain to the another with just a few taps which occur in seconds, ensuring a fast experience.

๐Ÿช™Crypto staking involves locking up oneโ€™s cryptocurrency holdings to earn interest or rewards. Technically, โ€œstakingโ€ is how certain blockchain networks verify transactions.

๐Ÿš€Basically, staking allows participants to earn more crypto. Interest rates vary depending on the network, but participants can earn as much as 20% to 30% yearly. Many people stake crypto to earn passive income or invest their money.

๐Ÿค”Things to consider when increasing your staking profit

Generally, you make more profit with staking as you continue to stake more. However, there are other things to consider when it comes to increasing your profits:

โ€”Coin value: Steer away from staking a coin with very high inflation rates. You may earn big rewards initially, but since the value of the coin is volatile, you may be left with little to no profit.

โ€”Fixed supply: Ensure that the token or coin has a fixed supply. Limited circulation of coins within the market ensures a healthy demand and constant price boost.

โ€”Actual applications: Cryptocurrency demand largely depends on a coinโ€™s actual applications. If it is widely used for various applications in the real world, such as for digital payments, it will continue to have a healthy demand and price.

โ›“Decentralized technologies have proven their utility to further improve on modern science in a concept known as DeSci. The movement, which focuses on the benefits of decentralized cross-border collaboration science, is known as DeSci.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌFollowing the financial use case came a host of scientists and entrepreneurs who incorporated smart contracts, tokens and other blockchain tools in their efforts to improve modern science.

๐ŸงฌOriginally, this movement stemmed from the need to enhance scientific funding, which was primarily set by scientists who spent half their time writing grant proposals. Consider that without funding, not only is less science being done, but the projects scientists choose to pursue are more biased.

๐Ÿค‘Operating as a DAO, stakeholders, including researchers, can raise funds in a distributed manner while also receiving a monetary stake in the outcome. Members of a DAO also benefit because if a drug or other medicine is released, each member owns a piece of its success.
