Komainu attained the final step in VARA’s licensing process nearly 10 months after securing its MVP license in November 2022.

Beyond its ground-breaking features, Uwerx's developers' agile methodology approach has significantly contributed to the project's success. They have been so committed to promoting Uwerx’s vision and purpose that investors and users could completely trust them and buy into the project. This was part of why the Uwerx launch was overwhelmingly successful, surpassing expectations and initial forecasts. The developers are back to work and ready to take Uwerx to the next level. However, they witnessed a setback as Uwerx was attacked. The team has yet again shown commitment by quickly and efficiently developing recovery strategies and plans. This article will detail the launch, updates, the hack, and Uwerx’s road to recovery. Uwerx’s Successful Launch: Developers Set To Renounce Smart Contract Ownership After so much anticipation, Uwerx finally launched on August 1, 2023. The launch was successful, as everyone wanted to become a WERX holder. Also, investors and users made tons of profits with all the bonuses that were up. The developers released updates on what to expect next from Uwerx as soon as the launch ended. Uwerx has finally deployed liquidity on Uniswap. The Uwerx Vault, which received positive feedback from 84% of the community, will soon be available as the smart contracts await a thorough audit. To show their commitment to Uwerx’s community, the developers immediately began the 25-year liquidity locking they promised to do once Uwerx launched. They are also ready to denounce smart contract ownership when Uwerx goes live on centralized exchanges. The team has submitted their applications to CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko to facilitate this. The team is working to ensure the Uwerx platform is completed immediately. They are working on the core functionality design, focusing on Freelancer, Client, and Agency Dashboards, Project Management, and Additional Settings Pages. Once this is finished, a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with functions will be released to the community for testing. Based on the feedback obtained, they will proceed with the premium design. There will be a buyback campaign that will scale accordingly to provide support for Uwerx. It will happen weekly, although the dates and times will not be released to avoid anyone taking unfair advantage of the system. Uwerx Gets Exploited On August 2, Uwerx reported it got hacked, with the hacker stealing around $327,000. The attacker flash-loaned 20,000 ETH, which he swapped for 5,053,637 WERX. He then sent 4,429,817 WERX to the Uniswap pool. This amount was ten times the prior balance. Afterward, he used the skim() function of Uniswap with the address 0x00...1 as the “to” address. He also used the transfer function of the Uwerx contract, which first modifies a sender’s balance. Since the “to” address was a UniswapPoolAddress (0x00...1), an extra 1% of the initial amount was burned. As a result, there was an imbalance that the attacker took advantage of to gain 176 ETH ($327,000). Uwerx Maintains Momentum As It Sets To Relaunch Despite the hack, Uwerx continues to shine as it devises ways to tackle the hack and maintain its momentum. Once they noticed the hack, they immediately alerted SolidProof and InterFiNetwork, their auditors. Also, the team contacted PeckShieldAlert and SlowMist_Team directly on Twitter. The team began by putting out a white-hat bounty, stating the attacker should return 80% of the exploited funds and keep 20%. A new WERX will be relaunched, and its platform will have more robust security measures. As to the relaunch, there will be a new contract address, which will be released to the community soon. However, the contract address will be audited twice by reputable companies and once by an independent contractor. Due to a change in the contract address, the Uwerx Vault smart contracts are being altered, after which they will be audited before being released to the public. The new WERX will be deployed on the Polygon network instead of Uniswap, on which it is currently deployed. This will enable token holders to easily use WERX on the Uwerxplatform without having to bridge, and it will also lower gas fees. However, those who bought WERX on Uniswap will not be abandoned. The team has decided to airdrop the tokens at the end of the vesting period to ensure they still benefit. They also assure those who bought WERX during the presale that they are safe and will be unaffected by the relaunch. The new WERX will be deployed with more liquidity. To do this, the funds reserved for the buyback campaign will be directed to liquidity. Also, the team is proposing a no-burn tax and a sliding sell tax, of which 100% will be directed to liquidity. A poll is already up on Uwerx’s Twitter page and Telegram channel, asking the community if they support a sliding sell tax wholly directed to liquidity. Another poll also asks the community how long the vesting period should be. These polls will end on August 13, after which the development of the new WERX will commence on August 14. The team also welcomes feedback or opinions, which can be sent to [email protected]. Also, there will be press releases this week and another major announcement on August 21 to update the community on the new WERX development and plans for the relaunch. The Uwerx platform development is ongoing, and the team has completed certain sections like Settings, Security, Help Center, Login, Privacy Policy, Create Account, and Finished Payments. The WERX allocations will also be changed, and the new allocation is: ● Presale: 57% (427,500,000) ● User Performance Incentives: 6% (45,000,000) ● Liquidity Reserve: 14% (105,500,000) ● Marketing: 9% (67,500,000) ● Team Tokens: 6% (45,000,000) ● Partnership Incentives: 2% (15,000,000) ● Joining Incentives: 6% ( 45,000,000) At the end of the presale, 25,499,071 WERX will be burned. The airdrop and vesting schedules were shifted, and the new schedules have been released. Uwerx’s whitepaper will also be modified to reflect the ongoing changes. Uwerx is on to big things, and once the polls are concluded on August 13, the team will announce the specific details of the new WERX, as they are committed to launching it as soon as possible. Uwerx’s dedication throughout this period has been incredible. Their efforts in tackling this challenge have removed all forms of doubt and fear the community initially had. No wonder its community has continued to gather momentum, growing to over 2,500 Telegram members and 2,000 Twitter followers. Uwerx remains focused on its vision, which is to be a change in freelancing, and no matter what, it is resolved to achieve this purpose. So why not throw in your support?

The issuance of the operational MVP license permits Binance to operate two licensed activities.

Binance FZE, the exchange’s Dubai-based subsidiary, has become the first exchange to receive an Operational Minimum Viable Product License in Dubai. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has been awarded an Operational Minimum Viable Product (MVP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA). Binance FZE is the first cryptocurrency exchange in the world to receive such a license. #Binance FZE, our Dubai based subsidiary, is the world's first exchange to receive the Operational Minimum Viable Product licence in Dubai.Eligible users can now access regulated virtual asset services, such as fiat on and off ramp services via Binance FZE.More here

Once fully licensed in Dubai, Bybit plans to run a full-scope exchange, offering crypto lending, payments, investment and other services.

The world’s top cryptocurrency exchange is eyeing a move to Dubai, in the midst of its battle with the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Binance Dubai General Manager Alex Chehade has said that the UAE is the prime destination for crypto businesses and has noted its pro-crypto stance and policies. Chehade notes that the UAE is diversifying away from fossil fuels and has turned to cryptocurrency to achieve this. He also expects the influx of young people to the country to contribute to the rapid adoption of cryptocurrency. In a tweet last June 15, Binance MENA retweeted that over 27.7% of the UAE’s population are crypto owners. Virtual Assets and Financial Diversity The UAE has its own regulator exclusively for virtual assets, the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Just last June 15, top crypto exchange OKX received an MVP preparatory license from VARA. MVP stands for ‘minimal viable product’ and a preparatory license allows approved licensees to fulfill all pre-conditions required to undertake MVP operations within the VARA regime. Binance itself received its own MVP license last September 2022. All of these point to the UAE’s pro-crypto environment and why numerous crypto businesses are eyeing to expand on the country. “There’s a clear framework for people and businesses to engage with, whereas you’re just not seeing as much of that elsewhere,” Chehade said. Contrasts and Regulation This is in contrast to the United States and the SEC. Binance is currently in the middle of a dispute with the United States’ SEC and has just filed a lawsuit against the commission last June 23. The SEC and its chairman Gary Gensler in particular, have not flinched on their hardline stance against virtual assets and businesses and there seem to be no signs of a shift anytime soon. Binance's interest in Dubai emphasizes the potential for countries with forward-thinking policies to position themselves as global crypto centers. By welcoming industry leaders like Binance, they can drive innovation and economic growth. Conversely, regulatory hostility or uncertainty, as observed in the US, can deter businesses and stifle the sector's development. The implications of Binance's strategic move extend beyond individual companies or countries. This shift illustrates a key aspect of the future growth of the cryptocurrency industry – the necessity of harmonious interaction between crypto businesses and regulatory bodies. While the robustness and security of the crypto market are paramount, overregulation can inhibit innovation and advancement. Striking this delicate balance could determine the trajectory of the global crypto landscape. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

However, it is obvious that the ICO phenomenon has been the most successful application so far. Currently, hundreds of new ICO projects are being launched every month. In a few short years, there will be thousands. Try to imagine how much will be rate if every ICO project will use our tokens. Benefits to the participants The opportunity to purchase tokens at a discounted rate, for after the end of the ICO, these tokens will be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. Therefore, participants will have the ability to make a significant profit. From the standpoint of futures and speculation, ICOs are definitely worth participate in. What is the logic behind the certainty If one were to look at the current state of affairs, they will notice some indicators which have never been present for all of human history. Until now: Possibilities which arose from the growth of technology, globalization, the internet, and blockchain. More specifically: - Population growth throughout the last 20 years; - The number of entrepreneurs has grown 15 times in the last 15 years; - The growth in the amount of companies; - The thousand-fold growth in the amount of data and connection shared between entities; - Geo-politically, the world is becoming uni-polar; - The rapidly increasing speed of data transfer in finance and other applications will drastically change the world we live in. - We are witnessing nonlinear and revolutionary leaps in technology on an ever-increasing basis. - The rapidly-growing number of programmers, engineers, qualified market experts, and professionals who analyze data. - The proliferation and growth of cryptocurrencies which remove all barriers involved with international business and do away with middlemen. This gives individuals and businesses alike the opportunity to utilize their resources as they see fit, without restriction. The ICO phenomenon is clear evidence to this. - The ability to set forth with key initiatives is no longer reserved to corporations, visionary leaders, or governments. Instead, this power is given to individuals united around a common idea. This used to be close to impossible, but new and revolutionary technological developments have made it possible. The previously stated points are a testimony to the fact that the world is not standing in one place. On the contrary, the forward development of humanity, along with technology, is irreversible. As a result, the thousandfold increase in the number of new ICO projects will solidify this method as the go-to method for most, if not all future investment projects. Therefore, the utilization of Ratei.co and demand for STR tokens will only increase. Road Map October Launched Beta MVP showcase Received the first payments & ratings from users within 24 hours of launch November Team Building ICO Legal Set up Additional ICO rating indicators - more indicators from which the rating of an ICO will be determined.

Therefore, participants will have the ability to make a significant profit. From the standpoint of futures and speculation, ICOs are definitely worth participate in. What is the logic behind the certainty If one were to look at the current state of affairs, they will notice some indicators which have never been present for all of human history. Until now: Possibilities which arose from the growth of technology, globalization, the internet, and blockchain. More specifically: - Population growth throughout the last 20 years; - The number of entrepreneurs has grown 15 times in the last 15 years; - The growth in the amount of companies; - The thousand-fold growth in the amount of data and connection shared between entities; - Geo-politically, the world is becoming uni-polar; - The rapidly increasing speed of data transfer in finance and other applications will drastically change the world we live in. - We are witnessing nonlinear and revolutionary leaps in technology on an ever-increasing basis. - The rapidly-growing number of programmers, engineers, qualified market experts, and professionals who analyze data. - The proliferation and growth of cryptocurrencies which remove all barriers involved with international business and do away with middlemen. This gives individuals and businesses alike the opportunity to utilize their resources as they see fit, without restriction. The ICO phenomenon is clear evidence to this. - The ability to set forth with key initiatives is no longer reserved to corporations, visionary leaders, or governments. Instead, this power is given to individuals united around a common idea. This used to be close to impossible, but new and revolutionary technological developments have made it possible. The previously stated points are a testimony to the fact that the world is not standing in one place. On the contrary, the forward development of humanity, along with technology, is irreversible. As a result, the thousandfold increase in the number of new ICO projects will solidify this method as the go-to method for most, if not all future investment projects. Therefore, the utilization of Ratei.co and demand for STR tokens will only increase.

Why do you need a token for your biz? Every blockchain project has a team and a group of advisors. Understanding the capabilities of the team, their engagement in the project and their view is a critical in deciding the type of outside help needed for a successful project. Advisors are one way to bring creditably and attract the attention of the media and the community, but it is important to understand what each advisors actual role and contributions will be. Do you really need to blockchain to run your company? Unless the additional resources needed to build the blockchain and incorporate it in your business are adding value by making your goods or services cheaper, better, faster or more reliable. There is no legitimate reason to incorporate blockchain into your business. With the exception of a security token, an Ico is a way of distributing a token to as many as possible in the network. ICOs allow the community and developers to share in the success of the company in a way that survives the hype and brings real world value. What are you really trying to achieve? Is there a market for this project? Does this project disrupt the market of application or is it an evolutionary project? Does it make sense for other market players (including corporates) to collaborate or be stakeholders? Support from other blockchain projects could be a possible advantage. Are you Working with specialized partners in terms of credibility? Does the addition of blockchain give you an advantage over competitors and what is the unique value proposition of the project? Technology and the building blocks of your campaign! What is the roadmap? The tech stack? Is it credible? Is there a MVP or just a white paper? Do you have an economic model? Is there a Github for the project where third parties could check the credibility and reliability of the code and the projects progress? Do you have the resources for legal and marketing? A successful Ico typically has a huge marketing budget for PR and conferences. Conclusion I see a lot of very interesting new ICOs where the token has no real value to the business and the founders are claiming blockchain has solved the companies problems like magic. I also see other projects where it is obvious that they have added blockchain as a way to fundraise by jumping on a hot trend, although previously they could not get their startup funded.
