NFT: the latest news on Unstoppable Domains, BAYC, Nifty Gateway and more

Every day there is a lot of news about the world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT), metaverse, and Web 3 in general. Here is a summary of the latest, related toUnstoppable Domains, Bored Apes Yacht Club (BAYC), the Nifty Gateway marketplace, and more.

Brave collaborates with Unstoppable Domains

Unstoppable Domains, the company behind blockchain-based and therefore uncensorable website domains, has announced a new partnership with privacy browserBrave.

Through this partnership,more than 2 million decentralized domainswill be able to use the browser to create content or search for information on more than 30 thousand websites.

Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave, said:

“Together with Unstoppable, we’re giving more people the power to create content and explore the Internet without sacrificing their privacy or their autonomy. We’re excited to expand access to the decentralized Web for our 60 million users and to contribute to a privacy-first Internet where people have ownership of their data”.

Brave and the integration of Unstoppable Domains also protect against the risk of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, so also in terms of security as well there would be advantages to using these technologies together.

Sandy Carter, SVP and Channel Chief of Unstoppable Domains, explained:

“Web3 is the future, and with Brave, we’re expanding access to the decentralized Web and giving people more ways to build their identity online. Brave’s Web3-ready browser makes it possible to build websites that are fully owned by people, not rented from big tech companies”.

Unstoppable Domains offers the ability for users to register domains with extensions such as .crypto, .nft, which are visitable as normal websites but are actually hosted on the InterPlanetary File System (IFPS), which is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network that makes the website incensurable and secure.

In addition, Unstoppable domains, being connected to the blockchain, perform the function of being like identity documents on Web3 platforms, allowing people to receive crypto payments with an easy-to-remember, personalized address and even email.

ENS domains surpass volumes of Bored Apes

A service similar to Unstoppable Domains, called Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has climbed the charts in terms of trading volumes and has even managed to surpass those of the popular NFT collectionBored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)on the OpenSea marketplace.

The project grewfrom 120.7 Ethereum (ETH) to 1044.6 ETHand the average price of an ENS rose 167%.

Omni wallet raises $11 million

A few hours ago it was reported that the Omni wallet, a wallet that supports every Web 3 application, has raised as much as $11 million in seed investment with a valuation of as much as $50 million.

The round ended in May and was led by companies such as Spartan Group, GSR Ventures, Eden Block, OP Crypto, Shima Capital, Kosmos Ventures, Daedalus Angels, PrimeBlock Ventures, Figment Capital, Lattice Capital and Chorus One.

Formerly called Steakwallet, Omni makes possible the integration of various projects related to NFTs, crypto and metaverse.

Serafin Lion Engel, co-founder of the project, explained:

“The primary hurdle that stands between users gaining access to the future of the internet, is ease of use. That’s why we built Omni: an incredibly easy-to-use Web 3 application that can do it all without sacrificing even a fraction of self-sovereignty. Especially after seeing the CeFi meltdown, we wanted to give users something that was as easy to use as CeFi, but 100% self-custodial and DeFi. And that’s what we’ve done with Omni”.

Traffic
Traffic explores a crossroads between the metaverse & reality through organized chaos. The complexity of this aural / visual landscape demanded over 200 hours of design time between Slimesunday & 3LAU. Every detail of this piece was built from scratch, from the reflective puddled pavement to the stabbing synthesis of the song. We think we'll be spending a lot more time in the metaverse in the future, don't you?
Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.

The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
