Melbourne, Australia–(Vehement Media – April 29, 2022) – Writer, Director, Actor and Producer, Anthony Hayes having known for his international projects with a slew of A list Hollywood acting talent that include Gold, War Machine, The Light Between Oceans, The Rover and Animal Kingdom, has launched an innovative new crypto film ecosystem for his next Sci-Fi film trilogy project Retrogression.
RETROGRESSION
Riding on the back of the global success of “Gold“, Hayes has launched the RTGN token which is part of a big push to build a strong relationship between Hollywood and the Crypto industry from the ground up.
The screenplay for the first instalment of the Sci-Fi film franchise has been specifically written to incorporate a multitude of crypto tie-ins and utilities including the creation and development of an NFT-based P2E game based on the film and built on Unreal Engine, an emerging filmmaker streaming platform that rewards filmmakers and audiences with the native RTGN token for engagement, and the upcoming launch of their NFT marketplace, as well as staking.
“As part of a major push to properly marry the film and crypto industries, the team and I have developed a series of film and gaming related utilities that are self-sufficient, use the native RTGN token and act as a revenue stream for the growth of the RTGN token and ecosystem. As an entertainment-based ecosystem it’s important to reward engagement and offer utility that targets the younger film and crypto demographics and supports the chart at the same time,” said Hayes.
The streaming platform is free for the viewer. Released just a matter of days ago it already has large engagement with over 40,000 organic views and is already playing host to a number of impressive short films including Oscar Nominees and Cannes Palme d’or Winners. A big marketing campaign is about to get underway in major film trades, blogs, online publications and socials.
The Retrogression Film Crib is currently being developed to include native iOS and Android mobile and Television apps. The revolutionary platform evolving into a mega media hub, providing a single place to access all their content needs starting with short films and growing to include live video and gaming streaming, Indie feature length films and documentaries, audio books, music podcasts, editing and VFX tools and more, all for which the Framework has already been built into the platform.
“We are creating a free entertainment portal, direct from emerging filmmaker to audience, a one-stop-shop for short film entertainment and one where filmmakers are duly rewarded without the middlemen. As the platform expands, it will become a valuable resource for budding filmmakers. It’s up to those of us who are experiencing success to pay it forward in whatever way we can and we expect to bring a lot of younger filmmakers to crypto and specifically to our RTGN token as holders,” said Hayes.
The first NFT drop is expected any day now and will be rolled out in the form of an entertaining and cryptic treasure hunt with an impressive array of character concept art based on the game and the film, prob NFT’s, real estate NFT’s, Executive producer credit NFT’s, rare NFT’s, and will be heavily story based. NFT collectors will get to choose team based NFT’s based on the characters and adversaries in the film and delve deeper into a story narrative as they add to their collections.
“We want to bring story driven NFT’s to the forefront of the space, not just as art and utility, but to engage NFT collectors in a narrative that feeds into the film and game and enriches the backstory and characters in a meaningful way. In the same way Star Wars takes us deeper into the worlds of supporting characters and enhances the whole narrative, we too will take NFT collectors on an adventure in storytelling. And in that respect, we deepen the relationship between collector and our ecosystem.”
A major partnership with a renowned NFT gaming studio responsible for creating one of the most used NFT gaming platforms in the world, is to be announced shortly. The partnership will see the development of the Unreal Engine P2E NFT game based on the film, the minting of exclusive character art and utility based NFT’s and will be hosted on a multimillion-dollar metaverse.
“We’re extremely excited about the announcement of our NFT and gaming partnership, it’s a huge deal for a newly launched project and to be working with true cutting-edge experts in the crypto, NFT, entertainment field is a massive boost to the whole ecosystem we have created.”
The RTGN token launched with a Market cap of 2M USD and hit a peak of 7.5M after thirty minutes, before finding a solid floor of 3M. With a heavy vesting period of five months and a team token vesting period of 12 months as well as 1.2M in liquidity locked for twelve months via their official security partnership with Unicrypt Launch platform.
“The heavy vesting, liquidity lock, strong launch liquidity and organic growth of this token is key to achieving our long-term goals for the project. The RTGN is a revolutionary way of financing a film and keeping the power and revenue with the creator of film content, something that is desperately needed in the film and entertainment industries. We hope to create a new model that rewards creators and incentivize and passes on these rewards to the community. And with the upcoming first drop of our NFT’s and the announcement of our partnership with a world class NFT crypto gaming company and their new multimillion dollar metaverse we are primed to make this one of the biggest projects on the Ethereum chain in 2022,” said Anthony Hayes.
London, United Kingdom–(Vehement Media – April 29, 2022) – Samuel and Co Trading are releasing a further license batch of their VIX Trading Algorithm – a highly sought after software tool that trades the volatility Index. The algorithm has been developed to take advantage of the volatility within the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s CBOE Volatility Index, a popular measure of the stock market’s expectation of volatility based on the S&P 500 index options.
Founded by Samuel Leach, Samuel and Co Trading work with global institutions specifically hedge funds and prop funds who are ready to transform their manual trading strategies and harness technology to deliver results via automation. Helping both individuals and businesses to accelerate their trading results.
Why now?
When COVID-19 turned the world upside down, traders had to adapt quickly to survive. Many fundamentals of the market were affected with a large surplus of added volatility. The VIX hit staggering levels above 60 which have not been seen since the 2008 financial crash.
Samuel and Co Trading believes there is no ‘new normal’ that one can expect to return to, or arrive at, a static ‘normal’. There is only new. The world will forever be hit with new volatile scenarios and therefore forever in need of a resilient and dynamic tool to combat and take advantage of this volatility. This is becoming increasingly more obvious especially with the Ukraine and Russia Crisis, and no longer possible for trading firms to ignore.
This rapid evolution of what constitutes ‘new’ will continue to require traders to transform themselves and their trading approach – to remain on top of their game with sustainable growth.
Why the VIX?
Trading the VIX, also known as the fear gauge, is directly capturing market fear, it is compiled based on how much traders are willing to pay for options on the S&P 500 Index. Options are contracts that give the holder the right, not the obligation, to buy securities at set prices by a set date when the underlying asset reaches set levels. The algorithm is predicting these swing points in the market, and it is doing so on a frequent basis. Most recently taking advantage of missed earnings from blue chip companies and fears of steep interest rate rises and recession.
Samuel and Co Trading believes that to successfully navigate the evolving landscape, traders need to be utilising innovative, fast execution strategies to maintain their edge. Often businesses and traders can fall into the trap of expecting innovation to just happen. Samuel and Co Trading has long emphasised that when this happens, a crucial opportunity is missed. That is the opportunity to add an edge to their trading performance and utilise an automated trading tool taking advantage of these elevated levels of volatility in the market.
Samuel and Co Trading strives to help traders embrace the missed opportunities in the markets and reap the rewards of automated transformation. This approach is soon becoming heavily sought after and with this Samuel and Co Trading are releasing a further 50 licenses of the VIX trading algorithm in June. Traders can join the highly anticipated waiting list here.
Manchester, United Kingdom–(Vehement Media – April 29, 2022) – The Due Diligence platform for the Art Market, Arcarta surpasses 300 Art Market clients (as of April 2022) and announces plans to expand further into EU and US markets as it finds Art businesses are not prepared to meet the new Anti-Money Laundering requirements.
As Anti Money Laundering regulations have affected the international Art Market, many businesses are getting ahead of regulators by ensuring they have the correct systems and processes in place.
Where previous lockdown restrictions and travel limitations throughout 2020-21 impacted and slowed an art business’ ability to participate in an international art fair calendar, the combination of regulations and enforcement of sanctions orders is a complex and challenging landscape to navigate as a sense of normalcy returns.
Market-specific with a focus on experience for both galleries and collectors, the art market due diligence platform Arcarta has gained significant traction owing to its unique processes and tools that help reduce the time invested and risk for non-compliance for the gallery. Arcarta has also developed a collector-focused experience that makes the process of providing information to a gallery simple, fast and secure. Since the new AML regulations were introduced in the UK in January 2020, the platform gained a foothold in the market by working with over 100 art galleries in the first year of regulated trading in the UK.
Since then, the platform has continued to see swift adoption by businesses in the UK and more recently in the Europe and US markets, surpassing a total of 300 art market clients as of April 2022.
Art businesses with multiple premises and an international footprint are either regulated owing to their location or ‘by proxy’ as a result of working with other members of the art market who are regulated, creating additional confusion, uncertainty and complexity.
Established in 1960 and with galleries in New York, London, Hong Kong, Palo Alto, Geneva, Seoul, East Hampton and Palm Beach, PACE is the most recent gallery to join the growing community of Art Market clients using Arcarta to conduct due diligence and succeed with regulation.
About Arcarta: Arcarta is a Due Diligence platform for the art market and is used by 300 Art businesses internationally. Established in 2019 with a background in anti-fraud card payments and reducing invoice fraud, the Arcarta platform has grown to become one of the most widely adopted, global due diligence services for the Art Market.
Arcarta owes its growth to working with the Art Market exclusively. This market-specific focus – insight and feedback from the art businesses navigating such laws – has helped shape the design and build of a service allowing any business trading in works of art to confidently respond to regulatory challenges and regulators throughout the UK, EU and US.
New York, New York–(Vehement Media – April 28, 2022) – Sphynx Labs continues to integrate other Blockchains into its Ecosystem, and this time, they are on Cronos Network. The Team of Sphynx Labs will introduce its token called SPHYNX to be traded on Cronos.
Sphynx Labs on Cronos
What is Cronos?
Cronos is the world’s first Ethereum-compatible blockchain network. Being backed and supported by one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange platforms Crypto.com, Cronos is an open-source, permission-less Layer 1 chain seeking to rapidly extend the Defi, GameFi, and general Web3 user communities by allowing developers to quickly move apps and crypto assets from other chains while enjoying low transaction costs, high throughput, and quick finality.
Their goal is to expedite the world’s shift to cryptocurrency, creating a user-friendly technology while improving crypto investors’ security and data privacy.
How Will Cronos Benefit Sphynx Labs?
Cronos has witnessed tremendous growth in user adoption since going live in November 2021, exceeding its estimates of having more than 350,000 unique wallet addresses doing transactions on its network. Transaction volume and TVL (Total Value Locked) are increasing in tandem with the Ecosystem’s development, surpassing 15+ million and US$2.5 billion, respectively.
Crypto.com had a massive marketing push last year. During last year, they signed Matt Damon to be the face of their advertisement campaign, created branding partnerships with Formula 1, the Philadelphia 76ers, Paris Saint-Germain, Montreal Canadiens, Lega Serie A, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In an ultimate show of their intention to become a mainstay they also signed a 20 year/$700-million naming rights agreement to replace the name to Staples Center to Crypto.com Arena, Crypto.com has become mainstream.
This will benefit Sphynx Labs because more people will have eyes on the project, and users can effortlessly transition from Crypto.com to Cronos. Both the mission of Cronos and Sphynx Labs is to establish mass crypto adoption with an easy-to-use, secure, and open platform, so this integration is an ideal match.
What are the Utilities Sphynx is Offering to Cronos Users?

People can enjoy a secure and simplified DEX on the Cronos Network, and the adoption will increase as users will be able to explore the DeFi space, bridging them to Brise, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Cronos with so many more networks to come in the future.

London, United Kingdom–(Vehement Media – April 27, 2022) – Sophia Technologies Ltd., a female-founded UK Edtech company, has announced plans to build the first educational city inside of the Metaverse.
Sophia is building an entire digital ecosystem that will make it possible for k12 students globally to get an exceptional British education online, learn in immersive virtual reality and develop essential Web3 digital skills for life and work in a cyber focused creator economy that Bloomberg intelligence anticipates is going to be an $800bn global metaverse revenue opportunity by 2024*.
Building on its global model for online education, the Athenaverse project is the metaverse’s first virtual education city concept which is part of a persistent virtual reality world. Athenaverse is designed with immersive VR technology inside of Somnium Space, in a ground-breaking partnership with Oasis Meta Games who are builders of immersive VR worlds, games, experiences, and the first-ever layer 2 Metaverse solution in Web3 inside of Somnium.
The project is a first of its kind for the Somnium Space Worlds; each World is a blockchain token (NFT) and independent instance created by utilising Somnium UnitySDK. Powered by the OMG Engine, Athenaverse will enable students and teachers to learn, interact and create with others in the Metaverse through unique, immersive experiences and learn safely in real-time without any geographical boundaries.
Founder of Sophia, Melissa McBride, believes this project is a catalyst for shaping education in the Metaverse and is the next step in a revolutionary period where digital advancements are going to be transformational for the future of education.
“The Ukraine crisis showed us first-hand the power of technology to deliver a model of education that is affordable and accessible for students. Through online education, we were able to enroll Ukrainian children displaced by the war for free, seamlessly into our online school, Sophia High School. If we can provide education for children fleeing a war zone, we can teach any child anywhere on the planet. This is the beginning of a better, more equitable decentralised era of education.”
Founded in 2018, Sophia has just closed a funding round of $1m led by Angel Investors, and is a global leader in British Online Education for children from age 4 to 14. With blockchain technology as the fuel behind the project, Athenaverse is introduced as a realistic virtual reality metaverse designed for the future of education.
Partnership Opportunity
Now that the Athenaverse project has entered Somnium Worlds with its immersive and persistent education ecosystem powered by the OMG Engine, the partnership opportunities for schools, education groups, creators, and developers to join this community are endless. Realistically, any player that is interested in being part of an exciting emerging world of education inside the Metaverse could be very easily integrated into Somnium Space and would be an excellent contender for a partnership that could yield benefits for all parties and be part of a team shaping education in the Metaverse. Together with their partners at OMG, the amount of tech development that can be deployed will be revolutionary not just for education, but for the entire Somnium ecosystem.
