Alien Worlds(TLM)

Following the viral US Congress Hearing about UFOs, over 50 alien-themed tokens have emerged on the crypto market. The US Government Blamed for Covering up Alien Activity On July 26, the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security held a highly-anticipated hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Three former military officials accused the US government of concealing important extraterrestrial findings. According to the whistleblower David Grusch, who is a former Air Force intelligence officer, the Pentagon is covering up a “multidecade” UAP program which aims at collecting and restoring crashed extraterrestrial crafts. Grusch testified under oath that he is aware of an alien spacecraft in possession of the US government and the “non-human” biological remains that were found on it. Ryan Graves and David Fravor, retired US Navy commanders, also claimed to have seen UAP findings while serving in the military. While speakers said they couldn’t share too much information due to it being classified, they raised concerns over the US government hiding too much regarding the matter. “If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem. If it is something else, it is an issue for science. In either case, unidentified objects are a concern for flight safety,” said Ryan Graves. The Crypto Market Reacts to the Buzz The “exciting” hearing quickly went viral and became trending on Twitter and Google searches. Crypto traders couldn’t miss the chance to capitalize on the new trend and launched over 50 alien-themed coins just over the span of 24 hours. Tickers like “ALIENX,” “UFO”, and “ALIEN” have invaded the crypto market. However, most of these tokens haven’t seen much trading activity so far. Only the larger and more established alien-themed coins have managed to improve their performance. For example, the native token of the popular blockchain game Alien Worlds, known as TLM, grew by 3.5% within 24 hours after the news broke. Among other UFO memecoins that have slightly climbed during the last day are the UFO Gaming Token (UFO) which gained 2.4% and the AlienFi token (ALIEN) which surged by 5.9%. Memecoins are known to quickly emerge in the midst of a growing trend. However, many of them could potentially be scams that try to take advantage of the hype. So, traders should be very careful when choosing an asset for investment. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

San Francisco, California, May 10th, 2023, ChainwireUnstoppable Domains, the leading platform for digital identity, today announced they are joining the Board of Directors of OMA3 (Open Metaverse Alliance for Web3), a consortium of companies creating standards for the decentralized metaverse. Other OMA3 board members include Alien Worlds, Animoca Brands, Dapper Labs, Metametaverse, Sandbox, Space, Superworld, and Upland.As a leader in OMA3, Unstoppable Domains is leveraging its expertise in Web3 domains to aid OMA3’s efforts to standardize the use of Web3 land domains in the metaverse. The association’s ultimate goal is to create an open marketplace of Web3 land domains to make the metaverse easier to navigate. OMA’s Portaling and Mapping Working Group will lead efforts to create standards for Web3 land domains.Unlike app-specific addresses, Web3 land domains are a special type of universal address that spans metaverse worlds, allowing users to point directly to their virtual lands and parcels. The primary benefit of this approach is the interoperability and universality of the address. For instance, Web3 land domains will allow people to teleport not only to a different world within the metaverse but to a specific location in it as well.The cross-world nature of Web3 land domains requires standardization to prevent conflicts and duplicates across different implementations. Standardization will also give developers and users a consistent experienceAdditionally, as a member of the Web3 Domain Alliance, Unstoppable Domains will coordinate efforts between the two industry consortiums. Founded in 2022, the Web3 Domain Alliance is a member-led, member-driven organization dedicated to improving the technological and public policy environments for users of blockchain naming services.“As metaverse platforms become more interoperable, it will be important to give users an easy, universal way to uniquely identify metaverse land,” said Sandy Carter, COO and Head of Business Development at Unstoppable Domains. “We’re excited to help OMA3 achieve this goal in an open and developer-friendly manner.”"We welcome Unstoppable Domains’s participation in OMA3’s governance and are grateful for their expertise as a leading provider of Web3 domain names,” said Dirk Lueth, Co-founder & Co-CEO, Upland, Founding Member and Chairperson of OMA3. “It is commendable that Unstoppable Domains is willing to commit resources to build a system that gives equal opportunity to any name registrar, including their competitors. We welcome other companies in the domain name space to join OMA3 and contribute to the process.”About Unstoppable DomainsFounded in 2018, Unstoppable Domains is building a platform for user-owned digital identity.

Tel Aviv, Israel, April 25th, 2023, ChainwireTinyTap, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands and the leading edtech platform for user-generated educational games, today announced that it has raised US$8.5 million from investors including Sequoia China, Liberty City Ventures, Kingsway Capital, Shima Capital, Polygon, GameFi Ventures, and others. The funding will be used to support TinyTap’s business expansion and accelerate development in the edtech space.The investment will enable TinyTap to continue to expand its successful Web2 platform, which already serves over 9.2 million registered members, into an alternative Web3 education system that better values teachers by improving the earning opportunities available to them, and enables parents and communities to support and promote their preferred educational materials.TinyTap launched its Web3 strategy in 2022 with two successful auctions of Publisher NFTs, which generated 243 ETH (approximately US$352,000 at times of auction). Publisher NFTs are a new concept introduced by TinyTap to better empower, reward, and incentivize educational content creators and publishers.Each Publisher NFT represents co-publishing rights to one TinyTap Course, which is a curated bundle of educational games made on the TinyTap platform by one teacher in one specific subject. When these NFTs are sold, the proceeds are shared with the Course creators, and the NFT buyers assume the role of co-publishers. In return for promoting and marketing the associated Courses, the buyers share in the benefits generated from co-publishing efforts.Since the TinyTap Publisher NFTs were auctioned in Q4 2022, the average income to NFT buyers resulting from their co-publishing efforts amounted to approximately 8.2% (or 19.7% annualized) of the purchase price of the Publisher NFTs*.The Publisher NFT model is therefore able to simultaneously benefit the creators of educational content, the buyers of the Publisher NFTs, and TinyTap. This frees the creators to focus their efforts on generation of quality content, while TinyTap and the buyers of Publisher NFTs distribute and promote the content.Misa Matsuzaki owns two Publisher NFTs and earned about $7,823 from November 2022 to March 2024 by co-publishing the associated courses. She commented: “TinyTap helps teachers to actualize great ideas into educational content that can be accessed regardless of location – for example, one of the courses I bought was adapted for Japan. I did the first translation and voice over myself with the help of the TinyTap team. I look forward to seeing how Japan will welcome these exciting new possibilities in education! I would like to see more use cases like TinyTap Publisher NFTs, which are so much more interesting than just having NFTs sitting in our wallet!“Yogev Shelly, CEO of TinyTap, commented: “Our Publisher NFTs genesis auctions demonstrated that the Web3 community is well suited and willing to support educators and educational content via this new powerful and equitable incentive system. By pairing educational content creators with interested promoters, we are able to benefit all parties fairly and take a significant step in our goal to put the power of learning back in the hands of educators, students, and the community.”Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “Teachers and educators are among the most important content creators and contributors in society, and yet their wages typically do not reflect their critical importance. This is why we’re incredibly excited at the Web3 opportunities that TinyTap is exploring in the field of education. Having already succeeded in building a Web2 education platform, TinyTap is now supercharging its efforts using NFTs, making it possible for educators to better generate equity from their work and link up with co-publishers who can handle the promotion of their courses, all while offering students enhanced learning materials.”Follow TinyTap on Twitter to keep updated on future developments or visit the Web3 landing page to learn more.About TinyTapTinyTap, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, was founded in 2012 and is the world’s largest educational games library with more than 250,000 activities made by educators and publishers including Sesame Street and Oxford University Press.
