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

🎯The bull market may be over, but that doesn’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.

🔥AGV 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.

🕸The 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 “decentralization.”

📊Web2 is now at its peak in terms of centralization, from data monitoring and social media platforms censoring to banning users without valid reasons, there’s no shortage of problems that need to be resolved by Web3.

🔥And, 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 that’s why it is such a powerful force.

🤝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.

🎯With 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.

🖼NFTs 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.

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

💰After 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.

🏛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.

🎯AGV 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.

🏛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.

🔥With 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 “how to invest in DeFi” refers to locking your assets in a DeFi protocol.

💰The 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.

📊On 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.

🎯Before 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.

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

🔸Tickets
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

🔸Fashion
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

🔸Collectables
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

🔸Gaming
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.

🚀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.

🎲Play2earn is part of the next step of gaming’s evolution. This new model is on decentralised space and empowers gamers to earn and own their in-game assets.

🔥Play2earn 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.

🎯Most 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.

🪙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.

🚀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.

🌊 What are liquidity pools?

—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.

—Liquidity pools are a mechanism by which users can pool their assets in a DEX’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.

🤔How Do Crypto Liquidity Pools Work?

—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.

—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.

🚀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.

—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.

🎯If 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. You’re not dependent on a central entity to hold your cryptocurrency.

📊DEXs don’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.

⛓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.

🌎Importance of Metaverse in FinTech

📼Metaverse (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.

📊With the advent of NFTs , a need has arrived for a digital medium as well for the trade of such digital tokens.

📈Metaverse 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.

⚡️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.

🏛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.

🔥The 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.

⚡️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, Pokémon Go is probably one of the best-known AR examples.

🌎The Metaverse is a digital landscape that participants can use to build their own virtual environments. It’s a network of different virtual worlds that you can enter through by wearing VR goggles.

🚀Even though you can’t change the world you’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 you’re in. It is key that these elements are presented spatially to affect your depth perception.

🎯The AR technique has a certain degree of power, convincing your brain that those elements really exist in your environment. And, that’s the moment your current world becomes a lot more interesting.

💻With 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.

🔥NFTs 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.

📊To 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.

💸Another 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.

⚡️⛽️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 Biconomy’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.

🦶Meta 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.

📈The various fields where smart contracts finds its applications in DeFi:

—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 — all with the use of smart contracts.

—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.

—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.

—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.

📑“Smart 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!”

👩‍🌾What is DeFi Yield Farming?

—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.

—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.

🤔The Need for DeFi Yield Farming ?

—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.

—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 users’ buy/sell orders quickly and easily.

—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.

🔒Crypto staking involves locking up one’s cryptocurrency holdings to earn interest or rewards. Technically, “staking” is how certain blockchain networks verify transactions.

⚡️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.

💸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:

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.

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.

Actual applications: Cryptocurrency demand largely depends on a coin’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.

🌎The metaverse is expected to have a strong connection with the real-world economy – and eventually become an extension of it. This relies on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as the foundation for value creation.

🖼If NFTs become a commonly adopted tool for trading such goods, they could help accelerate the use of VR ecosystems as places people go, to combine elements of the digital economy with their offline lives.

🤔One way to think of this process is how the App Store encouraged businesses to digitize their operations, so that consumers could experience (and pay for) their products and services from any location.

💸According to the tech giant Facebook, which changed its name to Meta, plans to invest $10 billion this year to develop products that support augmented and virtual reality — a robotic hand, high-tech VR glasses and sophisticated software applications, to name just a few.

👁A successful vision of the metaverse sees transformations like these taking place at an accelerated pace and universal scale. In other words, the metaverse have the ability for companies and individuals to participate in financial activity in the same way they do today.
