Top 10 Exciting THETA Blockchain Projects

THETA Blockchain Projects present decentralised ecosystems that serve to improve the streaming quality and delivery of video content. As open source crypto technologies evolve through THETA labs, developers can offer more features to video platforms, viewers, and streamers.

When a person streams a video, they are accessing this content without needing to download it, whether this is watching a movie, listening to audio, or – popularly – watching gamers stream their gameplay. Currently, due to the way streaming operates, there are several issues with the streaming quality and latency of video and audio.

THETA projects seek to set up a peer-to-peer network that permits users to connect their unused bandwidth and resources to the system. Not only does this improve the quality of the content, but it can also reduce costs. A handful of these projects are worth investigating if you have any interest in streaming.

Here is our list of the top 10 exciting THETA blockchain projects we suggest you investigate:

1. StreamVerse

https://streamverse.overclockedbrains.co
StreamVerse – for true to its roots streaming.

StreamVerse believes that the current streaming platforms lack realism and interactivity. Therefore, this project seeks to “capture the attention of Gen Z while also maintaining the ease of usage”. StreamVerse is working to allow its users to access realistic spaces and emotions through the incorporation of NFTs.

Any moment of the stream can be converted to an NFT that lives on forever. Moreover, StreamVerse helps streamers maintain eye contact, have more than one group within a single room, talk with fans, and host charity events. StreamVerse is currently looking for ways to make its project more scalable for future relevance.

2. TKETS

https://tkets.io/
TKETS – security for your ticketing needs.

TKETS presents a unique use for NFTs and blockchain technology that combats the issues with e-tickets. The age of paper tickets is coming to an end, as e-tickets become harder to misplace and easier to deliver. However, most of these e-tickets use a typical barcode or QR code, which is static and easy to replicate. It is also impossible to ensure these tickets haven’t been duplicated.

TKETS aims to bring more functionality to NFTs. All you’ll need is a MetaMask wallet and your ticket can be minted directly to you. Your ticket will be uniquely yours and its information gets listed on the blockchain. The TKETS platform allows for direct payment but is not centralised, meaning the ticket itself can only be accessed by the holder.

3. Scrubr

https://www.scubr.org
Scrubr – YouTube and TikTok meet NFTs.

Scrubr is an application for the sharing of short video content, designed for creators and viewers to contribute and watch. If your video is well-received there is potential for creators to earn $SET (Scrubr Engagement Token). Views and likes on owned videos generate tokens that can be used to purchase merch or other videos from the site (NFTs). $SET has governance and utility power.

Essentially Scrubr is combining NFTs with YouTube. Using blockchain technology, the minting, buying and selling of these videos are tracked to ensure proper ownership. Soon, Scrubr is looking to introduce a mobile app, along with VR integration and direct messaging features.

4. OpenTheta

https://opentheta.io
OpenTheta – an easy-to-use NFT marketplace.

Seeking to make it possible for anyone to mint, launch and trade NFTs, OpenTheta presents an easy-to-use marketplace. Running as a smart contract on the THETA blockchain, OpenTheta allows users to easily search for, upload, and filter through the site’s NFTs.

The marketplace is very creator-friendly, working to help with all technical aspects of a launch. OpenTheta is still in its early days; as the site expands the creators are looking to implement auction-style trades, along with methods to continuously update the prices of the available NFTs.

5. HarkTV

https://hark.tv/
HarkTV – streaming for charity.

If you are seeking THETA blockchain projects that are heavily situated around working with not-for-profits, HarkTV could be a good place to start. HarkTV recognised the potential for a political streaming service, broadcasting rallies and smaller political gatherings to viewers. Non-profits play a big role in HarkTV’s adherence to individual regulations across the 50 US states.

The $HARK token is required to get involved with this project. Actions on the website can generate these tokens, which can be used to vote in elections that decide the not-for-profit that will receive a lump sum. HarkTV is for streaming of all sorts, not just of the political kind.

6. Minty NFT

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/10/guide_getting_started_with_the_pokemon_trading_card_game
Minty NFT – monetise your playing cards.

Originating from a love of trading cards, Minty NFT provides an app where users can mint their own trading-card NFTs. Built on the blockchain, Minty NFT allows for the opportunity to create customisable 3D cards, something not often seen in the NFT landscape.

Built for Android, Minty NFT is easily accessible via a downloadable app. The future brings the potential for more canvas sizes to mint onto. However, the app is intended for 3D trading cards and does not look to move past this.

7. Blockchain eSports

https://www.techerati.com/the-stack-archive/world/2018/08/02/blockchain-based-esport-game-launches-presale/
Blockchain eSports – bringing Roku into the game.

Blockchain eSports is looking to bring Roku games into the digital era. Roku itself is a box that allows you to stream to your TV. Blockchain eSports for Roku is bringing Theta.TV to viewers, Theta.TV being the first streaming service to be published to the THETA blockchain.

The app is now available for download; however, the future of Blockchain eSports involves improving the app to provide user login, so that users can eventually personalise features and engage with TFuel (the token for the THETA network).

8. THETA TV

https://legacy.theta.tv/about
THETA TV – the original THETA project.

As previously mentioned, THETA TV was the first blockchain project to go online within the THETA network. Branding itself as the “next-generation esports platform”, THETA TV brings 24/7 live streaming. With a lot of the big streamer names from platforms such as Discord, viewers can earn $TFUEL through watching and interacting with these streams, and streamers can earn theta coins through guardian nodes.

Users of the platform also get access to fun perks such as the ability to open themed crates and to win a variety of gaming gear. THETA TV is very much made for and designed by gamers.

9. THETA Drop

https://thetazilla.thetadrop.com/
THETA Drop – NFTs combined with streaming.

THETA Drop classes itself as a next-generation NFT marketplace. Launching with the World Poker Tour, THETA Drop incorporates streaming into NFT auctions to increase creator-fan engagement.

Powered by the THETA network, this project is utilising blockchain technology specifically for media and entertainment. Using TFuel, like many other THETA projects, allows transactions to be environmentally friendly. THETA Drop transactions are also supposedly cheaper and faster than Ethereum transactions.

10. Dedpool

https://devpost.com/software/dedpool-y6v453
Dedpool – enhance your betting with AI technology.

If you are a League of Legends fan, this is a project worth investigating. Combine LoL with gambling and you have the project Dedpool. With esports betting being a complex matter, Dedpool is making its betting easier and more specific. This allows for new ways to interact with the streaming ecosystem.

Like many other projects, watching streams allows viewers to generate TFuel – which you can then use to bet. Dedpool is currently utilising AI technology to read the game in real-time, meaning the onus is not on the streamer to manage the viewer’s experience.

Conclusion

Much like the various metaverse projects in circulation, THETA blockchain projects are adding new dimensions to the utilisation of cryptocurrency and gaming industry engagement. All THETA projects are situated around the idea of the THETA token, with the blockchain merely providing the right environment for this technology to grow.

As the aim of these projects is to prevent viewers from paying for low-quality streaming services, the projects within this list are finding ways to fix this and apply their own unique spin. This often features the inclusion of NFTs. THETA itself is looking at future partnerships with existing streaming companies, such as Twitch. However, if you are sick of the mainstream and are looking to support other aspects of this growing industry, these listed innovative projects could be worth your time.

Don’t stop with this list, either. If you are looking for other projects in the same vein, it’s worth investigating the THETA Hackathon. With the most recent Hackathon having over 700 participants, a plethora of opportunities await the future of THETA technology.

Blockchain Cardano Crypto News Crypto Staking Metaverse NFTs Solana

5 Interesting Solana NFT Projects Launching Soon

Earlier in the week, Crypto News Australia published a guide on the five most interesting NFT projects launching on the Cardano blockchain this month. Follow this article for the low down on the five most interesting projects set for launch on the Solana (SOL) blockchain this month.

SolGame

SolGame allows NFTs to be traded new or on the secondhand market.

SolGame, a win-to-earn platform and Squid Game crypto fan project, is powered by a collection of 3,333 unique NFTs. Players can collect HD NFTs and generate passive income by holding specific NFTs. The project includes ultra-rare, animated drops, and cross-platform gaming. The concept allows users to mint new or trade SolGame NFTs on the secondhand market to make up their team, and participate in the daily competition for a chance to win.

Aurory Project

Encounter NPCs and Nefties in the Aurory game universe.

Aurory ($AURY) is a P2E (play-to-earn) desktop game in which players are invited to explore a rich and diverse universe. Players can travel across two different areas and biomes, called “Antik” and “Cryptos”, where they will meet an array of “NPCs” and “Nefties”, magical creatures which can be caught or traded. $AURY token can be earned via PvE and PvP game modes and through staking, while also tradable through a traditional DEX on Aurory’s in-game marketplace.

StarLaunch

StarLaunch is the first insured IDO launchpad and incubator for SOL projects.

StarLaunch, an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) launchpad for the SOL blockchain, is set for imminent launch. The project is an incubator for blockchain projects built atop SOL, which aims to connect projects with a community of backers. StarLaunch is the first insured IDO launchpad and incubator for SOL projects, with a stated goal of connecting its “community of backers with trusted and thoroughly vetted Solana blockchain projects”.

SolCaps

Customisable SolCaps.

SolCaps is a collection of 1,616 unique and randomly created NFTs and as a project aims to gather different users from different blockchains through fashion, specifically caps with crypto designs. The project is adamant that the community making it possible must have a voice and a vote on the future of SolCaps. This means that the project will donate to NGOs and the community will decide the best cause to help.

The SolCaps NFTs will be available for minting at a price determined through a vote by the community via the project’s Discord. Each item has a unique design based on different cryptocurrencies and will be available for users to use for a profile picture on Twitter or Discord, for example.

Dessert Girls

Aime, one of the Dessert Girls available for purchase.

Consisting of 2,222 algorithmically generated NFTs, Dessert Girls is a first-generation collection with a future breeding feature that will live in the Sweet Metaverse. Owning a Dessert Girl NFT will be the starting point, with players able to buy a Dessert Boy to make a couple. Each NFT will have visible physical traits but also character traits. After minting, the project will add ‘trait-extras’, allowing for customisation on the second market.

The Sweet Metaverse will make use of $SWEET coin, which will hold utility in the metaverse as a currency. The coin will be distributed to Dessert Girls holders at the start of 2022.

Nexo Pioneers NFT-Backed Lending Services

Market-leading crypto lending specialist Nexo has teamed up with Singaporean hedge fund Three Arrows Capital to launch its new NFT-backed lending services. Clients will now be able to borrow digital assets and use NFTs as collateral.

Nexo Accepting Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, For Now

Initially, only those who hold Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks NFTs will have access to the service, however the company plans to add more down the line.

For a company wanting to provide liquidity to NFT holders, this decision makes sense as prudence would suggest that if you’re going to allow clients to borrow against their NFTs, best you make sure that those NFTs have a reasonable prospect of sustaining value into the future.

Nexo recognises that even so-called “blue chip” NFTs are potentially overheated, and this is reflected in its conservative offering:

  • minimum value of NFT must be US$500,000;
  • interest-only loan with rates between 12-15 percent; and
  • loan to value ratios between 10-20 percent.

Nexo co-founder Antoni Trenchev recognised that NFT use cases would continue to proliferate and, in due course, so would their services:

An NFT can be anything and can provide so many functions … in the future, we’ll be providing loans and financing people’s purchase against anything from digital real estate, to gaming items, or even limited-edition Nike sneakers.

Antoni Trenchev, Nexo co-founder

Year of the NFT

This has undoubtedly been the year of the NFT – it fact it was 2021’s word of the year. In a relatively short space of time, we’ve seen the space mature as investment into NFT infrastructure and gaming continues to soar. By way of example, the world’s first NFT-related ETF was launched earlier this month.

But not everyone is excited about NFTs. Many regard them as useless JPEGs, tacky displays of wealth, or a bubble reminiscent of the dot com era. Doubters can now put their money where their mouth is and short NFTs. Arguably, that requires more bravery than buying one.

Earlier this month, Adidas announced it would be collaborating with Bored Ape creators and Yuga Labs to enter the metaverse, making a show of good faith by purchasing a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 46 ETH, or US$156,000, at the time.

Then this week, Nike announced it had acquired RTFKT Studios, a digital art studio focusing on sneaker-themed NFTs and collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain, thus heralding its own first footfall in the metaverse.

In July, Japanese multinational sports apparel giant Asics stole a march on both Nike and Adidas, its two fiercest competitors in the footwear space, by launching its Sunrise Red NFT collection.

‘Seussibles’ NFT Collection Launches with the Grinch, Cat in the Hat and More

Well-loved children’s entertainment brand Seuss Enterprises has teamed up with NFT company Dapper Labs and digital collectibles startup Tibles to launch a collection of NFTs based on characters from the famous Dr. Seuss books.

These digital collectibles, or Seussibles, are built on the new Flow blockchain and are available for fans to purchase with either crypto or credit card through the Seussibles app on the Apple app store, and on the Seussibles.com website.

Iconic Dr. Seuss characters such as the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch and the Lorax are available as NFT sets, starting at US$4.99. There are more than 600 collectibles based on popular Dr. Seuss titles including Green Eggs and Ham, Fox in Socks, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Horton Hears a Who!, Hop on Pop and Mr Brown Can Moo! Can You?

Digital collectibles from the Seussibles series.

NFTs Launched on the Flow Blockchain

Flow, a new blockchain built for the next generation of apps, games, and the digital assets that power them, was designed as a foundation for internet-scale protocols and applications that also require exceptional user experience.

Conceived by the team behind CryptoKitties, the platform was developed and stress-tested with top global partners and is now open for anyone to contribute to and benefit from.

A bonus is that its buying setup is simple even for non-crypto-savvy NFT collectors to deal with. As the Flow website puts it:

Apple in-app purchases make buying Seussibles absolutely seamless. [There is] no complicated wallet setup. [There are] no transaction fees. On seussibles.com you’ll be able to buy your Seussibles with your credit card or cryptocurrency.

onflow.org

Even a child could manage it, which is probably the idea.

Rarible Integrates with Tezos to Launch Own NFT Collection

Expansive non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Rarible has announced its intention to integrate the Tezos proof-of-stake blockchain to help with reducing the gas costs of minting, buying and selling NFTs, along with supporting secondary sales of other live Tezos projects.

The Cross-Chain Future of NFTs

On December 15, Tezos became the third blockchain to be supported by the Rarible multichain marketplace, joining the ranks of Flow and Ethereum. The marketplace is still in the process of onboarding many more chains in order to expand the collections their users can access. According to Rarible CEO and co-founder Alexei Falin, integrations with Solana and Polygon are up next.

Rarible firmly believes that the future of NFTs is cross-chain, and that interoperability is the key to a streamlined, successful NFT ecosystem. We have seen many alternative blockchains gain traction in the NFT space for their unique offerings, specifically Tezos for its low costs and energy-efficient minting process through proof-of-stake validation.

Rarible CEO Alexei Falin

Partnership About More Than Just Reduced Gas Fees

The partnership brings more than reduced gas fees to the table. To celebrate the partnership, Rarible will host an exclusive Tezos community drop titled ‘Blazing Futures’. Curated by Diane Drubay, it will offer 10 interpretations of the future of art, society and crypto.

Also coming to Rarible thanks to the Tezos blockchain is its latest offering Digits, in partnership with French gaming studio Ubisoft. The latter has just launched Ubisoft Quartz, a platform for players to acquire Digits, the first NFTs playable in AAA games, starting with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.

Digits are released as part of limited editions, each representing a host of in-game items. However, the gaming community isn’t as excited about Digits as the NFT community might be. Rarible will immediately support secondary sales for Digits, meaning that players that missed the drop can still acquire those playable NFTs.

Phase Two of the Integration

Phase one, which is already live, enables you to mint, buy and sell NFTs as part of the Rarible collection and trade the Ubisoft Digits NFTs.

Phase two, to be released shortly, will introduce additional features, namely the ability to mint your own collection via custom contracts and add royalties to imported collections such as Tezzards, Gemz and other exciting projects that have emerged on Tezos over the past couple of months.

Blockchain Crypto News Ethereum Fantasy Sports Gaming NFTs Tokens

Formula 1 Hits the Blockchain With ‘DeltaTime’ NFT Fantasy F1 Game

As the NFT boom continues, Formula One (F1) has cemented itself in the race to the blockchain as it launched its own non-fungible token (NFT) fantasy game, “DeltaTime”.  F1 DeltaTime is built atop Ethereum and is based around the collection and trading of unique Formula One cars, drivers and components.

Get Your REVVs Up

The latest news from the F1 DeltaTime world is that it has now also introduced NFT staking. Consisting of two main play experiences, Collection and Competitive Racing Games, FI DeltaTime – with its native token REVV – utilises the Ethereum blockchain and runs off the ERC-20 standard. NFTs are available for purchase on OpenSea for relatively reasonable prices.

However, NFTs of some of the more famous characters in the racing world such as leading F1 driver Lewis Hamilton will run to about 8.99 ETH (approximately US$36,400). NFTs can also be purchased using the REVV token.

The Collectibles Game centres on trading rare virtual items including Cars, Drivers, Components and Trinkets, which adds gamification to the collection of NFTs, adding layers such as achievements and leaderboards.

Race Your Own NFT Car

Like traditional racing games, the “Racing Game” allows players to take their collectibles – cars, drivers trinkets and components – and manage them into a race-ready Grand Prix entrant. The game is presented to the player or the owner of the NFT as a 2.5D perspective overlooking a selected track and allowing players in command of their racing vehicle to control the car’s acceleration and braking.

For a handy tutorial on how to start racing, watch this YouTube video:

Stake Your Car for Rewards

Ending the year on a high note, F1 DeltaTime has announced a new pool of 1.5 million REVV available to be earned by players via staking. The game has also announced the SHRD token, a new P2E (play-to-earn) token now earnable in F1 Delta Time. Staking takes place for 28 days from December 9.

Staking in this instance refers to owners sending their car NFTs to a staking smart contract for a given period, where they will passively earn REVV from the token pool. While in staking, the NFT cannot be used in any of the gameplay modes.

Once staked, the NFTs cannot be unstaked or restaked for a 24-hour cooling off period. Earning is determined based on every 24-hour period a car remains staked. Owners can claim their staking rewards after the entire staking period has ended.

Fantasy Games on the Rise Amid an NFT Boom

There are no signs of a slowdown as the world of NFTs continues to throw up innovative and interesting projects, among which fantasy NFTs games remain one of the most popular.

Amid the rise of blockchain-based fantasy NFT games and fantasy football games, Sorare has been one of the biggest on the front, raising US$680 million in a historic Series B funding round in an effort to expand its game.

To learn more about the most interesting NFT projects set to launch, from P2E to metaverse, Crypto News Australia has published a helpful guide.

Nike Enters Metaverse With Virtual Shoe Company Acquisition

By way of expanding its metaverse footprint, sports apparel giant Nike has announced the acquisition of RTFKT Studios, a digital art studio focusing on sneaker-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain.

Nike Steps into the Metaverse

According to Nike CEO and president John Donahoe, “This acquisition is another step that accelerates Nike’s digital transformation and allows us to serve athletes and creators at the intersection of sport, creativity, gaming and culture.” He added: “We’re acquiring a very talented team of creators with an authentic and connected brand. Our plan is to invest in the RTFKT brand, serve and grow their innovative and creative community, and extend Nike’s digital footprint and capabilities.”  

The move by Nike serves to cement its position in the metaverse and blockchain-based branding. Last month, the company launched NIKELAND in a collaboration with Roblox for an immersive 3D world. During that time, Nike had also submitted four filing requests to trademark virtual goods with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Founded in 2020, RTFKT is a pioneering and innovative brand that redefines the boundaries of physical and digital value to serve its broad community of creators. Co-founder Chris Le has said that “when we first started, we had fun designing sneakers inspired by video games and making dope content and always trying to innovate”.

Nike has always been our inspiration. This is the start of a new chapter in the RTFKT story.

Chris Le, co-founder, RTFKT

Adidas and Asics Beat Nike in Race to the Metaverse

Although now officially part of the metaverse, Nike won’t be the only sports apparel company occupying the space. Earlier this month, Adidas announced it would be collaborating with Bored Ape creators and Yuga Labs to enter the metaverse. Adidas had made a show of good faith by purchasing a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 46 ETH, or US$156,000 at the time.

Japanese multinational Asics had already made its move into the metaverse by launching a digital footwear collection in July, placing it well ahead of Nike, its major rival and global market leader.

Aussie Muscle Car Holden Torana A9X Auctioned as 50 NFTs by Lloyds

Australian auction house Lloyds is auctioning 50 NFTs of classic ’70s Aussie muscle car the Holden Torana A9X.

These digital representations of the iconic race car will be minted on the blockchain and include an amazing high-resolution 3D model of the vehicle, among many other benefits.

The auction deadline is Saturday, December 18, at 8pm AEST.

Lloyds online auction for the Holden Torana A9X.

The NFT car specifications have been verified by ICAARS (International Classic Automobile Authentication And Rating System) – Australia’s leading Classic Car verification company – as being the correct representation of the physical Holden Torana A9X first sold 44 years ago.

An ICAARS certificate of authenticity will be supplied to the winning bidder along with the additional benefits outlined above. The successful new custodian will also receive:

  • 10 percent of every future sale of this classic car on Lloyds NFT Auctions;
  • one year of half-price buyer’s premium or commission at Lloyds on any products purchased personally or by a company owned by the new custodian (fair use policy applies);
  • 50,000 Lloyds Webber tokens for gifts, experiences and one-off events; and
  • a framed picture of the A9X digital NFT.

According to Lee Hames, Lloyds’ chief operations officer, the auction house is proud to present first-edition classic car art NFTs as a blockchain world first. “It is important to note that people are not just buying a picture,” he said. “In our case the digital 3D model is a representation of the value. The value is in the utility of the benefits included in the NFT.”

50 More A9X NFTs Released Over the Coming Year

As a highly collectible Aussie muscle car the A9X has consistently held its value since its launch in 1977, and Lloyds has just announced the second of 52 non-fungible token (NFT) editions to be released over the coming year.

The A9X Holden Torana was designed and built to race, making its dream debut by winning the 1977 Hang Ten 400 at Sandown, Victoria, with champion driver the late Peter Brock at the wheel.

While the A9X lost its first Bathurst 1000 race in 1977 to Ford, it went on to dominate the following two seasons of touring car racing in Australia. In a show of its superiority, Brock and co-driver Jim Richards won the 1979 race by a record six laps, with Brock setting the touring-car lap record on the last lap.

Overall, a total of 65,977 LX Toranas – of which the A9X was the most famous iteration – were produced by Holden. In June this year, one fetched A$775,000 at auction after it was expected to go for at least a million dollars.

Bidders can email [email protected] for further information or check the NFTs FAQ page.

Earlier this year, Lloyds announced it would be accepting cryptocurrencies as payment to buy classic or collector cars.

In related news, German prestige car manufacturer Audi recently released its own NFT collection in collaboration with xNFT Protocol, a decentralised creation and aggregator platform for NFTs.
