Blockchain-Based Gaming Illuvium (ILV) Token Is Now Listed on Bitcoin.com Exchange

by

PRESS RELEASE. Bitcoin.com Exchange is thrilled to announce the listing of ILV, being available to trade on the 3rd May 2021 at 15:00 UTC. ILV was created by the Illuvium team, as the token to reward players in their open-world RPG adventure game built on the Ethereum Blockchain. ILV will start trading with USDT and BTC pairs.

What is Illuvium?

Illuvium is an open-world fantasy battle game built entirely on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It’s often referred to as the first actual AAA game on Ethereum. The world of Illuvium is a world full of beauty and wonder inhabited by creatures known as Illuvials. From a visual perspective, Illuvials go way beyond crypto kitties, one of the earliest and most famous examples of non-fungible tokens. These illuvials are designed as high-quality 3D art made by some of the leading artists in the space.

While venturing through the vast landscape of Illuvium, players can capture Illuvials by beating them in battle and then nursing them back to health. The Illuvials will become part of a player’s loyal following and can be used in fights or other adventures. Some of the Illuvials are already introduced on the Illuvium blog, such as the one below named Archeolon. Each Illuvial is also an NFT, with all of them having a strictly finite supply.

Unlike other blockchain games, players on Illuvium can spend time simply exploring the landscape consisting of 7 unique and stylised regions, building up a team of powerful Illuvials or a combination of both. Additionally, players can also earn Ethereum by selling their Illivuials on the Illuvium exchange.

Illuvium has been in development since 2020 and is created by more than 40 professionals with vast experience across the gaming and cryptocurrency sector. Illuvium is backed by some well-known names in the industry, including Quantstamp, Moonwhale, Bitcoin.com Exchange and more.

What is ILV?

The in-game currency of Illivium is ILV. ILV is used to reward players for in-game achievements, entitling players to a share of the vault and is used for governance in the Illuvium DAO. The maximum supply of ILV is set to 10 Million, allocated across Flash Pools, In-Game rewards, Liquidity Pools, Treasury, the Team, Launchpad Seed and Pre-Seed capital.

Strong Endorsement

Danish Chaudhry, CEO of Bitcoin.com Exchange, shared his views on Illuvium, and their respective token: “Entering the AAA gaming space is no small task, becoming the first AAA blockchain video game is just another step in the right direction for the industry. Illuvium is addressing some of the most pressing challenges in the gaming industry, including scalability or a lack of detailed artwork. Their vision, and target audience spans further than the usual crypto community most projects are focused around, giving them an edge and further possibility to build further adoption in the market.”

Chaudhry continues on by saying; “We’re very excited to see how Illuvium will continue to empower their vision for the future of blockchain based gaming. With their launch being planned for Q3 this year, accompanied with the listing of the Illuvium token (ILV) on our exchange, we can’t wait to see where this project will be in the following years.”

Kieran Warwick, Co-founder of Illuvium, also expressed his enthusiasm of the listing, stating: “We’re excited about Bitcoin.com Exchange listing our $ILV token. At Illuvium, we seek to increase trade volume to ensure a sustainable performance of $ILV on the market. Partnering with premium exchanges like Bitcoin.com Exchange assists our DAO, and token holders, with that goal. We are eager to see the reception from traders.”

Pastel Network Announces the Listing of PSL on Bitcoin.com Exchange

Pastel Network Announces the Listing of PSL on Bitcoin.com Exchange

PRESS RELEASE. Pastel Network, the first truly decentralized and scalable blockchain project designed specifically for rare digital art, has officially announced its pending listing on Bitcoin.com Exchange, scheduled for March 5th, 2021.

Pastel Network is a blockchain for rare digital art (also known as “NFTs”) that is built on the secure, battle-tested codebases of the Bitcoin, Dash, and ZCash cryptocurrency projects. Pastel introduces several important innovations to the world of blockchain art, such as the decentralized storage of art image files natively in the network, as well as a decentralized validation process for registering new artworks that prevents near-duplicate images from being added to the system. Pastel’s novel near-duplicate detection algorithm is based on robust image fingerprints that are generated using state-of-the-art deep learning image models and introduces a new form of digital scarcity which makes pixel patterns themselves “rare”.

Pastel takes a different technological approach than competing digital art blockchain projects, which are primarily built on top of the Ethereum platform. Because Pastel is an integrated platform specifically designed for the application of rare digital art, it has its own native Bitcoin-like currency (called the PSL coin). Having a native currency token makes the Pastel Network’s fees for registering, storing, and trading rare artwork very low, which makes it affordable to artists and collectors all over the world. Furthermore, the system includes a native mechanism based on changes in the mining difficulty of Pastel’s proof-of-work algorithm for maintaining these fees at affordable levels long into the future—even if PSL appreciates significantly in value. This is in stark contrast to Ethereum-based art projects, where the cost to create new artworks is currently hundreds of dollars, creating unnecessary financial risks for artists and making these other platforms out of reach for all but the wealthiest artists and the most expensive digital artworks. Even if an artist can afford to pay these egregious fees, the cost of simply transferring the artworks to users is prohibitively high. Pastel offers digital artists a secure and robust environment for registering their rare digital artworks with very low transactional costs, making digital art accessible to artists from anywhere in the world, and allowing a different business model for artists where they can sell larger numbers of their limited edition digital art “prints” a price point of under $5, while still making a healthy profit margin.

At the same time, Pastel allows art collectors and fans to purchase rare digital artworks directly from their favorite artists—with most of the value going to the artist instead of being wasted on unproductive network fees and overhead. This allows fans to participate in the long-term success of their favorite artists, creating a reciprocal relationship that transforms an artist’s fans into partners that have a financial stake in promoting the artist’s work. Furthermore, buyers of rare artworks on Pastel are able to trade their owned artworks with other Pastel users in a decentralized exchange that is native to the platform, all while paying modest trading commissions and transaction fees that are closer to the ~2% charged by payment processors such as Paypal and Stripe than the 15% or more charged by art dealers and auction houses, and other NFT platforms. Pastel Network’s low trading fees will lead to a much more dynamic and liquid marketplace for rare digital artwork that has the potential to radically transform the way art is created and collected. Best of all, the trading fees are sent by buyers and sellers to an unspendable PSL address, thus “burning” them and removing them permanently from circulation. Over time, this natural deflation will offset the new PSL created through the mining process, making PSL scarcer and more valuable.

As Pastel Network’s founder Jeff Emanuel explains, “Today marks an exciting milestone for our project, which has been under continuous development since 2018 with the singular mission of serving the world’s artistic community. We have created an open platform that frees artists from the restrictions of the traditional art market, with its outrageous commissions and dealer fees, as well as its elitist “gatekeeping” mentality that excludes the vast majority of talented artists around the world from earning a living as an artist. With the listing of Pastel on the Bitcoin.com exchange, as well as the public launch of our wallet software for artists and collectors in the next months, Pastel is now poised to disrupt the NFT space with a radically better network design that solves the high transactional fees and scalability issues that plague existing Ethereum-based NFT marketplaces and platforms.”

Pastel Network originated as a fork of the Animecoin blockchain project originally introduced in 2014. Animecoin was based on a modified version of the Bitcoin code and was fairly distributed with zero “pre-mine” to thousands of users around the world. After the fork, Pastel team raised over $3mm from Innovating Capital and other blockchain investors to fund the development of the Pastel software and to further the goals of the project through community engagement and exchange listings, culminating in Pastel’s pending listing on Bitcoin.com.

About Pastel Network
Pastel is an open-source, decentralized system allowing artists to register “provably rare” assets on a Bitcoin-like blockchain, while also allowing art collectors to purchase these artworks and “trustlessly” trade them among themselves without reliance on a central authority. The mission of the team is to develop the underlying infrastructure for a fully decentralized digital art platform, to better democratize the digital art world. The team behind Pastel Network is made up of an entrepreneurial team of developers, creators, marketers, and fund managers. With over two years of continuous, public development (which is fully documented on Pastel’s public Github code repository), Pastel has built a secure system that solves the major problems of existing blockchain art projects: high fees, poor scalability, no internal native network file storage, and no means of preventing near-duplicate images from being registered on the network, which introduces a new standard of digital scarcity for NFTs.

Rock Legend Gene Simmons Talks Bitcoin: Musician Believes China Is Behind the Ripple Lawsuit, Dollars Are Based on Nothing

Rock Legend Gene Simmons Talks Bitcoin: Musician Believes China Is Behind the Ripple Lawsuit, Dollars Are Based on Nothing

The American musician, co-lead singer, and bassist for the rock band Kiss, Gene Simmons, has been very talkative about cryptocurrencies during the last two weeks. Just recently, Simmons sat down with Bitcoin.com’s podcast host, Dustin Plantholt and the two discussed a variety of subjects like the Ripple lawsuit, and why the rockstar thinks cryptocurrencies are worth owning.

Gene Simmons Talks Crypto In an Upcoming Bitcoin.com Podcast Exclusive

Gene Simmons is well known for his band Kiss, the rock band that was formed in 1973 by Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley. Simmons is also known for being an entrepreneur over the years and just recently, news.Bitcoin.com reported on Simmon’s telling his Twitter followers about which cryptocurrencies he owned. Last week, the bass player told his fans he purchased BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, XRP, and other digital assets.

Rockstar legend Gene Simmons has been discussing cryptocurrencies regularly on social media and this week he chatted with Bitcoin.com Podcast host Dustin Plantholt.

This Saturday, Simmons joined Tesla founder Elon Musk and the hip hop artist Snoop Dogg, and started tweeting about dogecoin (DOGE). Additionally, this week the rockstar from Kiss got together with Bitcoin.com’s podcast host, Dustin Plantholt, for a podcast sponsored by exchange.Bitcoin.com. During the conversation, Simmons told Plantholt that unlike most of his peers, he was a bookworm and he read about economics at an early age.

“When I was a kid I started reading stuff, the kind of stuff that the other kids did not read,” the Kiss bassist said during the podcast. “So as you know reading is fundamental and the more information I got, the more questions I had. I learned about capitalism and how it works, how the government prints money. That it was once based on gold, and there lies the value, and then at some point in the past before most of you were born, the dollar was no longer based on gold,” Simmons added. The musician further added:

[The dollar] is based on nothing.

“That’s ok if everything works,” Simmons insisted to Plantholt during the conversation. “Then the world continues to somehow base value on dollars. Even the terrorists want to get paid in dollars and not by local wombat coinage— I’m not the expert and I’m not directing [you] or suggesting that anyone get into cryptocurrency, I’m just telling you what I am doing. The more governments and that includes the United States government, continue to keep printing money which is based on nothing, at some point, you gotta pay the piper.”

‘Crypto Has Roots With the People’

Simmons said that he jumped into the crypto scene three months ago and that he studied Satoshi Nakamoto and the digital asset economy. When asked why it took him so long, Simmons explained that it takes some time for the older generations to get it sometimes, and oftentimes they never truly understand.

Tune in next week on Thursday, February 11, 2021, to listen to the rest of the exclusive Gene Simmons interview on the Bitcoin.com Podcast channel.

For instance, he recalled how older family members never understood how he made money, after she worked a 9 to 5 job day in and day out. Simmons explained that money is changing, similarly to how influencers like the Kardashians have changed the entertainment business.

“I did a little research about Satoshi and where he came from and what it was,” the Kiss frontman said. “It seems to me that the value of things is determined by people. The value of real estate is only based on what people say it is. The value of gold is only what people agree on what it is, and even Wall Street and stocks based [on people’s valuation], you can make your own valuation, but unless people buy the stock, it means nothing,” Simmons stressed.

The Kiss bassist said that “crypto seems to be a friendly neighbor to that, which is that it has much more roots in people.” Simmons also noted that a number of well known individuals have been interested in the crypto space as well. Simmons likes cryptocurrencies because of this attraction and swelling appeal.

“You have your cold wallets, ad infinitum, all this cryptocurrency language nonsense, that the rest of us don’t understand,” he explained during the interview. “But there’s a simple idea, and the simple idea is you’ve got a deck of cards, and cryptocurrency is one of those things. You can pick litecoin, bitcoin… whatever. How it started and what the intent was is not the issue for me. The issue for me and the appeal for me is that people like it. [Notable people] whether it’s Elon, or whether it’s Camron and Tyler, there’s lots of interesting people.”

‘The Buffet People Are Going to Change’

Moreover, Simmons said he had a conversation about bitcoin with Mark Cuban and that crypto deniers are changing or will change soon enough. “I had a discussion with Mark Cuban the other day and he commented on something about bitcoin,” Simmons detailed. “He is changing too, the Buffet people are going to change. You cannot avoid it, I know that Goldman [Sachs] folks are looking at this, institutional money, and Scaramucci is looking at it,” the musician added. Simmons further said:

I don’t believe for a second that most people understand what cryptocurrency is, what it is designed to do, but it is immediate and you don’t have to deal with banks— I like that.

That was only a few minutes of the discussion with Bitcoin.com’s podcast host Dustin Plantholt and Kiss’s Gene Simmons. The conversation delves further for another 25 minutes and during one point of the discussion, Simmons said he believes China is behind the recent Ripple lawsuit. The musician also discussed music piracy and what he thinks about that trend that has grown significantly during the last decade. At the end of the interview, he told people not to give up on money and that he was still into precious metals like gold and silver to this day.

The entire Bitcoin.com podcast with host Dustin Plantholt and special guest Gene Simmons will air on Thursday, February 11, 2021. The episode with the Kiss frontman is sponsored by the leading cryptocurrency trading platform Bitcoin.com Exchange. The platform offers a world-class trading engine, a large variety of crypto assets, and first-rate security that meets the needs of both crypto veterans and newcomers every day.
