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•นVideo games are played by nearly 3 billion people across the world. This forms the base for a whole ecosystem built around gaming. Few of the best players also have earning streams solely dependent on gaming.

๐Ÿค‘The video game industry is worth around $336 billion. One of the key aspects of the industry which has grown into one of the largest media categories, is centralization. This gives the developers, publishers etc. the rights to all the transactions that happen with the games.

๐ŸงฉThere are many players who invest time, effort and money as well for the games. However, what they earn within the game does not translate into real money. Hence it is a non-return investment.

๐Ÿ“ˆThis historical model has been in existence since starting and continues to exist as the industry grows. However, things seem to change with the arrival of โ€œPlay2earnโ€ games. These games allow the players to truly earn and own digital assets, which they can sell in the marketplace and make profit.

๐Ÿš€The advent of DeFi and NFTs that are based on blockchain technology has enabled to decentralize the gaming industry which once was heavily centralized. And AGV DAO further makes it simpler for players to make a transit to the play2earn model.

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.

๐Ÿช™Cryptocurrencies were designed to operate in a decentralized manner. Your losses are your responsibility once you take your digital assets into custody.

๐Ÿ’ธHere weโ€™ll explore some of the more common mistakes that cryptocurrency investors and traders make and how you can protect yourself from unnecessary losses.

โ€”Losing your keys
Unlike a password or a PIN, you cannot reset or recover your keys if you lose them. This makes it extremely important to keep your keys safe and secure, as losing them would mean losing access to all digital assets stored in that wallet.

โ€”Not keeping a hard copy of your seed phrase
Keeping a hard copy record, such as a printed document or a piece of paper with the seed phrase written on it, can help prevent needless losses from damaged hardware wallets, faulty digital storage systems, and more. Just like losing your private keys, traders have lost many coins to crashed computers and corrupted hard drives.

โ€”Sending to the wrong address
Investors should take extreme care while sending digital assets to another person or wallet, as there is no way to retrieve them if they are sent to the wrong address. This mistake often happens when the sender isnโ€™t paying attention while entering the wallet address.

๐Ÿ“ˆThe 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.

๐Ÿ”ธPlay2Earn Games
This has emerged as a new stream of income for the gaming enthusiasts through which they can make an earning while they are playing games. Axie infinity is one such game where you can win in-game assets that can be traded on the marketplace for real money.

๐Ÿ”ธStablecoin 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.

๐Ÿ”ธNo-loss token offerings
Contributors receive the native token of the newly launched protocol In exchange for locking their investment in the projectโ€™s smart contract. After the designated lock-up period is complete,they retain their original holdings while also adding new assets to their portfolio.

๐Ÿ”ธLending
Perhaps the simplest use case offered to cryptocurrency holders is also one of the oldest monetary applications in finance: lending.

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.

๐ŸงฉPlay2earn 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.

๐Ÿ’ธMost 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.

๐Ÿ“ˆFrom the chance to generate new income sources, to the ease of transactions, the ability to play anywhere, and the AGV guild is making it even simpler by lending out expensive NFTs to the players who otherwise canโ€™t afford them.

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.

๐Ÿ”ฅAGV is a gaming guild where users can start earning while playing with their play2earn model based games like Axie Infinity. AGV brings the investors and the gaming enthusiasts under a roof.

๐ŸŒ‰Cross-chain bridges create growth across chains that offer disparate asset interoperability, which is a high level of security and a better asset rendition. Without a bridge, investors have to go through different exchanges and incur larger fees instead.

โœจCross-chain bridges also address the following:

-Lower gas costs with increased transaction speeds;
-User assets can be freely interacted with for a high user experience;
-Improved productivity and usefulness of existing crypto assets;
-Higher security and better privacy

๐Ÿ”ฅThe use of cross-chain bridges is appropriate in the following scenarios:

-Token transfers between Ethereum and a Layer 2 network, with assets interoperable across chains, such as faster and easier deposit of funds, withdrawal of assets and exit times to reduce operational complexity;
-High fees and use in times of Ethereum congestion;
-Thin assets supported by single chains and more assets supported by cross-chain bridges;
-Arbitrage trading across the DEX on Solana, Arbitrum and Polygon, etc

๐Ÿš€With AGV platform userโ€™s will find a simpler way to bridge assets from one chain to another at ease without performing multiple transactions.

๐ŸŽฒIn-game transactions refers to the various transactions that the player does while performing actions in the virtual world, which would help the player to enhance the character or earn money.

๐Ÿค‘These transactions are the main aspects of the Play2earn games, where the players can earn rewards and use them to strengthen their position within the game. This can be done by using the winnings to enhance the character, buy new characters, buy resources or enter higher levels of the game.

๐Ÿ“ˆMany of the games also allow the players to sell their resources and characters

๐Ÿ”ฅNative tokens have a wider acceptability within the game and across the marketplaces. Since the tokens are NFTs, each one of them has an unique identification and cannot be copied.

๐Ÿ›The adoption of DAOs in banking & financial institutions will profoundly impact the way these org are managed

๐Ÿ‘‰There are still many unexplored areas in banking where a DAO-based model might be useful:

Loans and Credit
Using decentralized technology in banking can eliminate the need for gatekeepers in the lending industry

Trade Finance
DAOs could also streamline trade finance by digitizing paper-based processes and automating manual tasks

Securities
Through tokenization of traditional securities such as bonds, stocks, & other assets and placing them on blockchains, banks can facilitate the creation of capital markets that are interoperable, efficient & accessible to the greater public

๐ŸŒ‰Applying DAO governance models in banks may just be what the industry needs to bridge the gap between fintech & established financial institutions

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.

๐Ÿ•ธSimilar to how blockchain disrupts other industries, Web3 models are now challenging Web2 with decentralized, shared ownership in avenues such as funding and shared knowledge.

๐ŸŽฒWhat Do You Need To Start Playing?

๐Ÿ‘‰Users must complete the following steps in order to participate in any of the play2earn games:

โ€”Create a cryptocurrency wallet
To keep the virtual currency and NFTs, as well as make in-game transactions, users should create a cryptocurrency wallet. Depending on the blockchain the game was developed on, theyโ€™ll need a different wallet. For example, any GameFi game created on Ethereum will operate with MetaMask, an Ethereum-based crypto wallet service.

โ€”Purchase Starter Items
All GameFi games are available for free download. Many, on the other hand, demand users to first buy characters, decks of cards native crypto tokens, or upgrades before they can start playing.

โ€”Pre-funded Crypto Wallet
To buy starter products and move forward, youโ€™ll need to pre-fund your crypto wallet with a certain cryptocurrency. Users of Crypto Blades, for example, must download MetaMask, buy Binance coin (BNB), and then swap it for SKILL, the gameโ€™s native cryptocurrency.

๐Ÿ•น๐Ÿ’ธCrypto gaming will undoubtedly evolve into its own industry as more money is invested in the market. Several studios have jumped on the crypto gaming bandwagon in an attempt to profit from the current trend.

๐Ÿ’ซGetting started in the cryptocurrency world may appear complicated at first, but it gets easier as one sets out a clear path to follow.

โ›“With its decentralized finance (DeFi) system and blockchain technology, crypto has become an attractive career path for those interested in technology and finance.

๐Ÿ“ŠEven in the correct market downturn, where some firms have paused hiring or cut staff from their rosters, others are actively searching for and onboarding staff.

Steps to kick off a cryptocurrency career:

โ€”Get acquainted with cryptocurrencies
Some of the most popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC) and Tether (USDT). And, if you want to work with them professionally, you must know a thing or two about their structures and how they came about.

โ€”Take an honest look at your skills
It is important to note that a lot of the cryptocurrency jobs are STEM jobs, which are jobs relating to science, technology, engineering and math.

โ€”Networking
Networking and connecting with industry experts can be instrumental in progressing in the industry. You want to see and know professionals who have walked the path you are about to embark on. So, if you take networking seriously, it can help your career grow.

โ€”Update your CV
The last step on the list is to take a deeper look at your CV and make necessary adjustments (additions or subtractions). Then you can start searching for a job in cryptocurrency.

๐Ÿ’ดIf you have received less than expected when placing a trade on a DEX, there is a pretty good chance of you getting hit by front runners.

๐ŸƒThe term โ€œfront-runningโ€ refers to the process when someone uses technology or market advantage to get prior knowledge of upcoming transactions. Front-running happens via manipulations of gas prices or timestamps, also known as slow matching.

๐Ÿฅ…The objective of a front runner is to buy a chunk of tokens at a low price and later sell them at a higher price while simultaneously exiting the position.

๐Ÿ“ŠTrading of stocks and assets based on insider knowledge to take advantage of the price movement has been a well-known tactic.

โ›“Splitting the transaction into multiple smaller transactions, periodic auction matching, and adjusting the low slippage are various ways to avoid front-running.
