Dubai, United Arab Emirates–(Vehement Media – March 24, 2022) – Vires Finance has announced it has now exceeded $1.5 billion total value locked (TVL) in its DeFi-forged lending protocol.
The market cap of Waves, Vires’ parent blockchain, has also grown rapidly over the last month, nearly tripling despite bearish conditions.
The use case of Vires is to let users take over-collateralized loans so they can free up capital to deploy elsewhere. Lenders earn interest from supplying capital, and from staked tokens that are deposited. As the Vires token is based on the Waves blockchain, it too can move freely within the Waves ecosystem and access the other products available.
The Waves roadmap outlines plans for a DAO, enabling cross-chain finance, establishing building blocks for a metaverse, and an American-based accelerator program to spur new developments in blockchain application for the American market. Vires & Waves both hope to represent a key solution for institutional capital aiming to enter the DeFi ecosystem.
Vires Finance, on the back of their recently launched revenue distribution, is currently offering above the market rate on its stablecoins. The growth in TVL shows a desire to access the Waves ecosystem from lenders, and that has created a virtuous cycle in terms of the rates on offer. The lending and borrowing protocol currently offers USDT, USDC, USDN, EURN, BTC, ETH and WAVES in its available pools, as well as 100% APR for staking native token Vires – the revenue distribution of which is paid continuously.
Despite the recent climate in the sector, since the start of the year, Waves and Vires Finance have both more than doubled their market cap. Vires continues to fulfil the stages outlined on its roadmap as it becomes a gateway for the deployment of institutional capital.

St. Helier, Jersey–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – In keeping with its strategic vision, Vow Currency follows up its recent stake in UK Reward Tech Enigmatic Smile Ltd, by acquiring the assets of UK-based card-linked-loyalty app Swipii.
Vow Currency Acquires Swipii
Swipii had gathered significant traction in the UK market, signing up 1m UK customers to its various services over the years. Despite its impressive user numbers and over five million pounds of investment, it fell into difficult times during the pandemic and could not recover.
“Companies operating in the loyalty industry are finding it increasingly difficult to meet the needs of consumers, retailers and publishers whilst also operating a profitable business.”
“A brand-new model is required. We believe that this model is a blockchain-based solution represented by Vow and that this model will disrupt this space in an unprecedented manner,” said Bish Smeir, CEO of Vow Currency.
He added, “Our team has worked in payment-linked-technology since the very beginning. We’ve seen first-hand how difficult it is to make a business based on the probabilities of transactions occurring work for all stakeholders.”
The Swipii brand now joins a growing portfolio of investments in the technology, retail and loyalty space for Vow, the Jersey-based crypto issuer, with many more to be announced in due course.
Swipii users, merchants and even investors will all be invited to participate in the new Swipii product going forward, with clear benefits that only Vow can provide. “To all Swipii users who had earned cashback and thought they had lost it, we will be picking up the tab,” said John Cohen, Director of Enigmatic Smile.
All Swipii merchants who had signed up loyal customers will be contacted by Vow currency too. Vow provides a brand new cashback model where users are never invoiced for the costs of running a reward programme.
“It is great to see the Swipii brand being taken forward and we wish the team every success in the future,” Donald McNaught, the firm responsible for negotiating the deal, commented.
Vow Currency is pursuing its strategy of expansion through acquisitions, investments or partnerships with companies in the loyalty space. The loyalty industry was specifically chosen as the first vertical of attack for Vow Currency as its model specifically enables merchants to become issuers and acceptors of Vow currencies within the ecosystem.
Loyalty and cashback companies which adopt Vow gain access to white label apps, its APIs and SDKs, a persuasive commercial model they can sell to their existing portfolio of businesses, and the ability to increase their own profitability substantially.
Growth hacking large merchant and consumer portfolios is the core focus of the project at this moment and it has demonstrated the viability of the model with a spate of deals to date. Stay tuned for more announcements on the Company’s website https://www.vowcurrency.com.
Seoul, Korea–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – MEXC Global has recently launched MCT-the project token of MetaRising. MetaRising is a project that promotes agricultural development by using blockchain technology and the metaverse that combines the virtual world with reality.
MCT now on MEXC
MetaRising is the world’s first blockchain project focused on contributing to agricultural development. It is also the only blockchain project to date to be certified by the United Nations as a global provider. This certification not only showcases the credibility of MetaRising but also is practical. Established in 2019, MetaRising is a valuable blockchain.
MCT: Supported by Real-World Agricultural Revenue
MetaRising’s first product, MicroTuber, includes SEED BOX, an agricultural crowdfunding platform that combines traditional crowdfunding methods with blockchain technology. On SeedBox, users can stake MCT to obtain new agricultural tokens that are issued by MetaRising and have corresponding physical produces in reality. MCT stakers can receive their future revenue from a percentage of total food sales. Currently, the food seed market alone is estimated to be worth $80 billion.
MetaRising has conducted crowdfunding campaigns several times and the APY of each MCT single token staking stands at around 105%. Relying on food sales for revenue, the value capture of MCT tokens is more stable than governance revenue, transaction fees, etc. that constitute the prevailing income sources for participants.
MetaRising Metaverse Empowers MCT
MetaRising has been advancing its technology advances upgrading itself a metaverse ecology that includes the original product MicroTuber. This move has enhanced the value capture capability of MCT tokens.
In the new roadmap released by MetaRising, we can see that the project team will add more game elements, and upgrade to create a MetaRising metaverse platform. Through the Play to Earn model, MetaRising will create more application scenarios for MCT.
MetaRising is a metaverse platform with unique social features and interesting P2E game elements that focus on crop cultivation. In MetaRising, users can collaborate and communicate with players from all over the world to create their own in-game items and exchange them on demand. In the future, MetaRising will incorporate other types of content, such as lectures, performances, exhibitions, meetings, online shopping, UGC, etc., to diversify its ecological system. In this process, MCT plays a critical role. It was first used in MetaRising as an incentive to carry out the P2E model. In MetaVerse, users can earn MCT by different sorts of behaviors.
While the system keeps on producing MCT, MetaRising also strives to diversify its application scenarios to enhance users’ demand. The newly created scenarios include leasing land, cultivating crops, mining, advertising personal products, governance right in-game guilds, casting and producing game props, and purchasing in-game NFT, etc..
Player Game Loop
The MetaRising metaverse boasts an unprecedented abundance of materials, and to acquire any prop or socialize, users have to hold MCT. In MetaRising, not only the main planting prop is NFT, but also player avatars, skins, accessories, in-game land, pets, transportation, etc., are tradable NFTs. These NFTs also embody socialization functions. MCT is the currency that can be traded to obtain these NFTs, just like the fiat currency circulating in the real world.
MCT and MRG usage
Unlike most projects that use a model with no hard cap, MCT is a token with a fixed supply. In the highly scalable MetaRising metaverse that is composed of NFT minting, MCT’s application will be greatly enhanced with the joint empowerment of both real and virtual products.
Belize City, Belize–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – BattleVerse, a multichain play to earn metaverse launched its staking services with Unifarm Cohort 36. BattleVerse is a user-driven platform that pays users for their time and fun. This platform incorporates the best-decentralized technologies utilized in DeFi and NFTs, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), into a totally unique and eternal PLAY TO EARN ECOSYSTEM by employing novel tokenomics, financial, and gameplay strategies.
BattleVerse
The cohort staking would allow users to receive tokens not only from BattleVerse projects but also from some three others. This model will also help expand the community by getting the tokens from supporters of partner projects. The agreements with partner projects are being finalized and will be announced soon. The details of the staking services include:
Cohort chain: BSC
Cohort duration: 180 days
Cohort will be a locked cohort: users can only unstake after 180 days.
It’s simple. The user stakes one token and farms all the others available in the pool. If a user’s stake is $BVC.
The first WEEK, users farm $BVC
The second WEEK, users farm $BVC, and $4PLAY
The third WEEK, users farm $UFARM, $4PLAY, and $BVC
The fourth WEEK, users farm $UFARM, $4PLAY, $BVC, and $MILK2
UniFarm has multiple IDO’s lined up this month and the eligibility criteria for the IDO’s will be staking any one of the tokens in Cohort 36.
Battleverse: A gaming metaverse for Web3
The BattleVerse story began in the second quarter of 2021, when a group of enthusiastic people had the idea to create a unique, fun, and interesting world populated by many races trading and fighting with one another, competing in exciting tournaments, and singing songs over a campfire (they say that this is the tradition that still preserves Baby Combats Bots, although humanity itself died out centuries ago). And by the middle of last year, the core concept and initial notions of the first race, which debuted in BattleVerse, had already been defined. Baby Combat Bots were born in this way.
The core concept was growing more detailed, and the universe in the authors’ ideas was expanding, which logically led to a team expansion. Simultaneously, the first community of BattleVerse fans began to form, believing in and adoring the universe. By that time, the Discord group had grown to over 60 000 members.
The epic adventures in the BattleVerse begin as soon as one acquires their first playable character. To do this, one needs to go to the corresponding site of the BattleVerse, connect a crypto wallet and have time to purchase the first hero during the drop of a new generation of playable characters. At the moment, users can mint 1st Gen NFT of Battle Shrooms directly on the official website of the project.
In addition, the project’s NFTs are traded on Opensea’s secondary market.
BattleVerse is a completely decentralized system that represents a new concept and technology in gaming. It was built from the ground up to ensure the BattleVerse game and governance long-term viability and to provide players with a high-quality blockchain gaming experience. Stakeholders earn frequent payments in the game, which makes BattleVerse stand apart. Users can stake $BVC as a mark of conviction and support in the platform and governance model after the game world is launched, and they will get access to governance and distributions from in-game fees.
The project’s main goal is to create a decentralized game that can run on its own. The creators of the project believe that a decentralized gaming world and economy provides the best fusion between crypto/blockchain/DAO enthusiasts and gamers seeking open access without corporate interference, and BattleVerse recognises that the real world and the decentralized world have some differences, so BattleVerse is developing tools to bring them together in an optimized and very unique way.
At this point, one of the most crucial realizations for BattleVerse was that the story isn’t simply about one race or combat. The BattleVerse universe will be filled with a vast range of races who can mix and match in the most fascinating and unique ways, resulting in the most incredible combinations of combat abilities and peaceful professions. A few days ago, the project already partnered with the Cyborg86 NFT project and will be working on integrating these characters into its Metaverse.
In the BattleVerse, players will have private land ownership, the capacity to build and maintain various structures, the ability to form communities, and the ability to communicate with one another at all levels.
Kiel, Germany–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – Ariva’s team is delighted to announce that the ARV token has now been successfully listed on the highly popular Huobi exchange.
The World Tourism Forum Institute’s (WTFI) centrepiece, the Global Tourism Forum, or GTF, is a worldwide collaborative platform focused on tackling the tourism industry’s difficulties.

Ariva
As such, the partnership between Ariva, WTFI, and GTF is now firmly solidified. The collaboration’s primary focus will be on tourism as well as blockchain integration. Nowadays, both the blockchain and tourism sectors are enormously popular, and the potential for both of these industries working together might indeed be endless.

Los Angeles, California–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – Media Carry announced today the acquisition of VVILL as part of its efforts to further expand its digital services, and paid media capabilities. The reported sale price remains undisclosed.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, VVILL (abbreviation for Vertical Media Limited) is a leading social media advertising agency, specializing in Instagram campaigns, and digital commerce media buying for enterprise clients. What started out as ‘Meme Marketing’ to over 20 million followers in 2017 quickly pivoted to its advertising counterpart.
“Clients started approaching us for Instagram ads to complement their Influencer campaigns and we became really good at scaling brands with incredible ROI,” said William Diaz, founder of VVILL. “We now manage over $25 million in ad spend a year and have pioneered successfully into less frequented channels such as Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok.” The agency was among the first in the US to be invited to the TikTok advertising platform having built strong relationships and a reputable track record.
Ben Murray, CEO of Media Carry states, “We will become an industry leader by incubating and partnering with brands and subsidizing development and management costs in-house. We will be able to offer brands a full suite of services to help improve their technology stack and paid media marketing.” William Diaz will be spearheading the agency as CMO with a primary focus on servicing paid media for clients.

Seattle, Washington–(Vehement Media – March 23, 2022) – The official launch of Parex, a new decentralized exchange with an in-built PRX token unique to the mining production mechanism is announced. Developed in response to the costly and often ethically dubious state of centralized finance, Parex promises to offer a secure, fluid and accessible platform like no other.
Before Parex, teams had to develop and operate proprietary indexing servers, which required significant engineering and hardware resources, while breaking important security properties required for decentralization. The opportunities of decentralized networks like Parex offer solutions to these issues. So what sets Parex apart? Increased interoperability, a community-oriented ethos, and an environmentally friendly mining method.
The Parex production network is processed with the DRC-16 protocol and designed to build bridges with many networks thanks to Proof of Interoperability. Indeed, the Proof of Interoperability mechanism ensures that the PRX token is an interoperable token in every network. Every inter-network transfer is possible thanks to Parex Market. Switching between networks can be done for a low fee and with high efficiency, facilitating transfer routes for PRX. There is a balance between all networks, including Polygon, BEP20, Ethereum, Polkadot, and Avax, among others.
Tokens and transfers are produced directly and autonomously by all PRX users: unlike other decentralized exchanges, this one is community-led. It functions like a WEB3 project, modernizing more traditional tokenization, transfer and mining systems. Speaking of mining: PRX is a valuable long-term method as it is environmentally friendly and balanced against inflation. Concretely speaking,Parex Marketupdates the mining system through a more ecological approach, known as burning. As soon as the PRX token is sent to production, it is burned and falls out of circulation. It continues its existence as a community-oriented project to overcome all difficulties. This burning algorithm ensures a sustainable and environmentally friendly exchange, lasting many years. The current PRX Burn Percentage stands at 86.84%. Furthermore, Parex is currently set to lead many projects in the developable smart contracts ecosystem.
Parex Market also does not neglect to contribute to the blockchain ecosystem. In this regard, it allocates a fund of $75M. Funds are provided to projects that want to develop DeFi, Metaverse and Web3 projects in-house. More than 300 applications were submitted. Projects benefiting from the fund will be announced soon.

British Virgin Islands, Road Town–(Vehement Media – March 22, 2022) – BitWell outright rejects Japan’s Financial Services Agency’s order to impose economic sanctions on Russian users.
Recently, Japan’s Financial Services Agency and Ministry of Finance issued administrative orders to cryptocurrency exchanges, requiring the platforms to prohibit the transfer of assets for the targets of economic sanctions.
Specifically:
Do not transfer crypto assets to the address of a person subject to measures such as asset freezing;
Report to the authorities in a timely manner if the recipient of a crypto asset transfer is a person subject to freezing; and
Increase monitoring of crypto asset transactions with Russia.
The BitWell party then stated that it would simply refuse to execute this order and would not report any personal assets and identity data within the exchange to the Japanese Financial Services Agency and the Ministry of Finance.
Since the outbreak of war and conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Western world has imposed massive sanctions on Russia, freezing foreign exchange reserves, stopping Mastercard and Visa services, memoval from the SWIFT system, etc., and even extending to the field of encryption. At this time, Japan’s Financial Services Agency and Ministry of Finance issued this order, undoubtedly wanting a piece of the action as well, imposing restrictions on the legitimate assets of normal Russian users, contrary to the principle of fairness.
Today, the arbitrary blocking and looting of user assets in some countries and the increasing injustice are contrary to BitWell’s vision. With the recent influx of registered users from Russia, BitWell has decided to waive transaction fees and provide exclusive customer support services for all users from Russia during the war.
BitWell upholds the principle of privacy and inviolability of private assets and will never allow the legitimate rights of Russian users to be plundered without reason. The platform will continue to uphold privacy, fairness and freedom and will not freeze any Russian users’ assets and will always be with its users.
