Blum recalculated the balances of some users

According to a message from the developers of the most hyped PlayToEarn coin project, Blum: “Over the past two days, we have recalculated the funds of all participants to ensure fairness and honesty. It turned out that some users may have mistakenly received more rewards due to glitches in the application.” The account balances of everyone who managed to make double reward stamps due to application lags will be adjusted downward. We remind you that Blum is a startup of a future crypto exchange (CEX+DEX), which will also work inside Telegram in the form of a bot. We recommend participating in this project, as there will definitely be an airdrop at the end of the game. In order to start playing you need to go to Blum, brand coins every 8 hours and once a day get the opportunity to play the game to earn additional rewards (attempts in the game are also given for each friend registered under you, the number of which is limited to 10 referrals to 1 account). Read more about the project here, free invitations to the game are also available there.

Launchpad pre-sale of the BWB (Bitget wallet) token on the BitGet exchange

Previously, we already talked about the Airdrop of the BitgetWallet project (Web3 wallet from the top exchange BitGet), and now, on the eve of the listing of the token on BitGet, the LaunchPad of this token has been announced with the possibility of pre-sale of the coin at $0.15 for 1 BWB. The first impression of user account balances will be on July 1 at 7:00 Moscow time (pools are available in BGB - 5,000,000 BWB will be distributed and in USDT - also for 5,000,000 BWB). The maximum number of coins that can be received on one account is 25,000 BWB for the USDT pool and 50,000 BWB for the BGB pool. From June 1 to June 4, snapshots of user balances will be taken every hour, then from June 4 to June 6, farming will be available, and immediately after June 6, coin distribution will begin before listing. For the USDT pool, the purchase price is set at $0.15 per 1 BWB; for the BGB pool, the price will be announced later. It is also worth noting that previously there had already been a pre-sale of this token for $0.1 in the WEB3 wallet BitgetWallet, however, due to the small supply of coins and the large number of people willing, only the lucky ones were able to get there and purchase tokens at such a low price. By the way, at the moment on pre-sale markets such as Whales pro, BWB points are trading at a price of $0.14 per 1 BWB point (1 BWB = 4.1 BWB Airdrop point). That is, on presale 1 BWB is currently trading at $0.57. Participate in the Launchpad BWB presale on BitGet.

Hamster Kombat news: updated combo cards and new Lord league

New combo cards have appeared in the popular PlayToEarn project Hamster Kombat, this time they are “Margin trading X50” from the Markets tab, “Two factor authentication” from PR&Team and “Consensus Piranha Pass” from the Special section. Be sure to upgrade them to get a bonus of 5,000,000 coins, unless of course the cost of upgrade for you does not exceed this amount. In addition, the developers have added a new league called “Lord” for those players whose coin balance exceeded 1 billion coins. If you have such an opportunity, then accumulate this number of coins, and then pump up your mining speed further. We remind you that according to past statements by the development team, the Airdrop of the $HMSTR token will be calculated from your coin mining speed, which will then be traded on exchanges. If you are still not involved in this project, we strongly recommend you give it a try; in our opinion, this is one of the most interesting successors to the sensational NotCoin.

Notcoin (NOT) will be listed on Bybit, OKX and Binance on May 16

The three largest exchanges Binance, Bybit and OKX announced the listing of the Notcoin ($NOT) token on May 16, 2024. Notcoin was the result of an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) that was made in the form of a tapping game and set a new trend in the crypto industry. As a result, the game became so viral that it gained more than 35 million users! In addition to ordinary people, this project attracted the attention of most crypto enthusiasts, thanks to an interesting roadmap and unusual distribution ideas.

What is restaking? EigenLayer, EtherFi

On September 15, 2022, the cryptocurrency Ethereum fully transitioned from Proof of Work (POW) mining (using ASICs and graphics cards) to Proof of Stake (POS) mining, where validators are required to hold 32 ETH on a server and receive rewards for it. Such a server is called a validator. Depositing one's cryptocurrency into POS mining is called staking. The profitability of Ethereum mining in 2024 is approximately 3% annually, which is relatively low by cryptocurrency standards. Everything changed in June 2023 with the introduction of the EigenLayer protocol (smart contract), which allows Ethereum validators to earn additional income almost risk-free through a mechanism called restaking (reStake). Currently, over 70% of validators use restaking services, indicating the high popularity of this approach. Next, we will attempt to explain in simple terms how the asset restaking mechanism works and why it is needed, using EigenLayer as an example.

1 million validators on the Ethereum network

Today, April 29, 2024, the number of validators on the Ethereum cryptocurrency network has exceeded 1 million, indicating not only the significant popularity of the Ethereum blockchain but also its high reliability. With 1 million validators, there are 32 million ETH coins or over 100 billion dollars participating in POS mining. At the start of phase 0 POS mining in November 2020, Ethereum struggled to reach the necessary minimum of 16,384 validators. Achieving the milestone of one million included ETH nodes today is undoubtedly a success and recognition of Ethereum as the leading blockchain in the world of cryptocurrencies and the number one among cryptocurrencies supporting POS mining. Bitcoin remains in the first place by a large margin with its traditional POW blockchain.

MSN - New Jumpstart (LaunchPad) From OKX Exchange

The top crypto exchange OKX announced its next project within the framework of JumpStart (the local analogue of Launchpad from Binance). This time, an MSN (Meson Network) token will be distributed for participation - DePin is a project to create a marketplace with optimized bandwidth. The launch is scheduled for 04/26/2024 6:00 (UTC) or 13 hours after publication of this material. As usual, thanks to the low maximum possible staking amount (3.5 ETH and 0.3 BTC), it is possible to receive the highest possible income (usually from 1 to 6% of the staking amount in just 2 days and without any risks).

Blum is a crypto exchange inside Telegram with Airdrop and an analogue of Notcoin from the former top manager of Binance CIS Vladimir Smerkis

Airdrop of memecoin Dick

The TON cryptocurrency blockchain continues to attract attention in the maximum possible ways; one of these popularization steps is the creation and promotion of memcoins within the TON blockchain and their distribution via Airdrop for activity and support of the project. The most famous memecoin for Telegram can definitely be called Povel Durev, which parodies the creator of Telegram Pavel Durov. But today we’ll talk about another equally creative project called DICK and tell you how to get free coins for minimal activity in Telegram.

BWB Airdrop from WEB3 wallet of the BitGet exchange

Bitget Wallet is the official WEB3 wallet from the popular BitGet exchange (top 12 according to CoinMarketCap, top 10 according to CoinGecko). In honor of the launch of its WEB3 wallet, BitGet is conducting an Airdrop of BWB tokens for new users who will install the wallet and create a new account or import their existing wallet there. From March 18 to April 28, any new user will be able to download and install the BitgetWallet using a special link or using the code: BLnsw8 and receive at least 50 BWB to their balance. In addition, you can also earn additional points for swapping in the Bitget Wallet or storing assets. In the second quarter of 2024, all points earned will be converted into BWB tokens, and the BWB token will be launched through an IEO. Let's take a closer look at how to easily and hassle-free get 50 BWB or even more.

Ethena (ENA) Launchpool on Bybit

Not long ago, we talked about how Launchpool works on the Binance exchange and its advantages in terms of earning a secure income from owning BNB and FDUSD cryptocurrencies. Today, on April 2, 2024, another Launchpool on the Binance exchange has ended, where all participants were given the Ethena token (ticker ENA), which can soon be sold on the spot market, but there's another option. Specifically, you can transfer it to the Bybit exchange and invest the received ENA tokens in the Launchpool on Bybit, where you can earn even more ENA with a yield of 500% per annum for your invested ENA tokens.

Selling Notcoin

On April 1, 2024, the mining of the cryptocurrency Notcoin ended, in which anyone could participate simply by having any smartphone with the Telegram messenger installed. Thanks to this, more than 35 million people around the world became miners, and the Notcoin project itself gained tremendous popularity, comparable to the most well-known cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum.

ZKPolyhedra Network - a new JumpStart on OKX

JumpStart is a marketplace for new blockchain projects from the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume - OKX, similar to Binance's LaunchPad service. It's an optimal way for crypto miners, hodlers, and traders to earn extra income. This tool allows anyone to participate in the token distribution of new top-tier projects meticulously selected by the OKX exchange. To do this, you need to freeze (stake in the pool) your Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) balance for a short period (usually 1-4 days). The main advantage of OKX's JumpStart over Binance's LaunchPad is the maximum staking limit (up to 0.3 BTC or up to 3.5 ETH), which allows for a fairer token distribution by deterring "whales," thus increasing the profitability of participation in such events. Read more about the ZKPolyhedra Network project and how to participate in JumpStart below.

New validator requirements after the Dencun upgrade on the Ethereum network

On March 13, 2024, at epoch 269568 in the Ethereum blockchain, a hard fork named Deneb-Cancun or simply Dencun will take place. This upgrade is primarily aimed at enhancing security, optimizing gas expenditures, and improving network scalability. Some even speculate that with the implementation of Dencun, we will transition into the era of DeFi 2.0.

Mining Qubic under Windows using WSL2 (for those who do not working GPU mining)

In the previous article, we already talked about how to set up Qubic coin (QBIC) mining for Windows and HiveOs, as well as how to register a wallet and connect to the pool. However, most people who tried to set up Qubic mining on Windows experienced some problems, namely mining on the video card did not start. When starting the miner, a hardware detection error was displayed and mining started only on the CPU, which is exactly what happened in our case. For those who have a similar problem, we are posting an alternative guide on how to set up Qubic mining in GPU+CPU mode under Windows using the Linux Subsystem for Windows version 2 or WSL2.

Mining Team Work (TW) - BSC-20 token for Qubic mining

If you are on the topic of “profitable mining” at the beginning of 2024, then you are probably already mining Qubic, since this is one of the most profitable options for these coins (if not the most profitable at all) and is many times more profitable than what various calculators offer. Perhaps you have heard something about such a coin as TW in different telegram channels for mining and that some people mine the “mysterious” TW instead of Qubic. Let's try to figure out what kind of beast this Team Work is and how to mine it under HiveOS and Windows.

Mining Ursula (URSA) - a new coin based on the HeavyHash algorithm

A few days ago, a new coin called Ursula (URSA) was announced and launched, just yesterday, 02/29/2024, the coin was listed on the Xeggex cryptocurrency exchange and it began to be traded there. At the moment, the complexity of the network is still not very high and the profitability of mining on video cards is excellent. Of course, it is not yet known how long this will last, and how quickly miners will rush to this coin and raise the difficulty. By the way, do not confuse the HeavyHash algorithm (which is used to mine URSA) and KHeavyHash which is used by Kaspa (KAS). Ursula coin (URSA) is not mined on ASICs for Kaspa.

Mining Qubic (QBIC) - setting up the mining of that very “secret” coin on Windows and HiveOs

In this article we will set up Qubic coin (QBIC) mining on Windows and HiveOs. In fact, in this case, this is not even mining in the literal sense of the word, the developers of the Qubic project essentially rent your equipment to train their neural network and pay you a reward in QBIC tokens once a week in proportion to the power of your equipment and how much time during this week (that’s how long one Epoch epoch lasts in the blockchain of this network) you participated in training the neural network. Due to the fact that it is difficult to immediately determine the profitability of Qubic mining (a week-long delay in payments), the setup is not as simple as is usually the case with classical mining and the small amount of information on the Internet, as well as the high requirements for equipment, the profitability of such mining is a very high level (some even consider this coin to be “secret”), in addition, both GPU and CPU are used equally for mining. For Qubic mining, it is highly recommended to have a high-performance processor and a powerful video card, as well as a sufficient amount of RAM. Further in this article you will find information and detailed step-by-step instructions on how to start the Qubic mining process under HiveOs (GPU + CPU) and under Windows (CPU), as well as more information about the coin itself.

Airdrop Starknet. Who can get STRK tokens

The second-layer scaling network (L2) Starknet on the Ethereum blockchain from February 20, 2024, to June 20, 2024, is conducting an Airdrop of its STRK tokens totaling more than 700 million. The number of users (wallets) who will receive Starknet tokens for free exceeds 1.3 million, which is a record among similar cryptocurrency reward programs. Since tokens will be distributed for free not only to participants in the Starknet project community, but also to participants in the Ethereum community, as well as players of certain networked games.

What is a bridge and a wrapped token?

The emergence of smart contracts in cryptocurrencies has propelled the development of decentralized finance (DeFi), but conducting financial operations through smart contracts is only possible within one network (blockchain). For instance, within the Ethereum blockchain, initially, it was only possible to exchange ETH for tokens or NFTs created within that blockchain, thus creating an immediate need for exchanging cryptocurrency and tokens from other blockchains. In other words, initially, it was impossible to exchange Ethereum for Solana or Bitcoin using DeFi. Bridges and wrapped tokens emerged to make such functionality possible. Let's explain what they are.
