The year 2022 will be a year of NFT advancement, with metaverses becoming a new popular fad. DeFi is still far ahead of metaverses and NFT ownership in terms of market capitalization. As a result, in this post, we will highlight some of the most intriguing and ground-breaking projects within DeFi and NFT to watch out for in 2022.
Metarex
Did you know that only 32 adult T. rex fossils have been unearthed, with only one entirely recovered just last year? And this is true for our entire planet! With a real T-Rex fossil NFT, amazing science meets blockchain.
The public is being introduced to the unique NFT possession of a real Tyrannosaurus rex fossil by Metarex. There will be 58,000 NFTs reflecting ownership of the T-Rex bones, with the ultimate goal of bringing this privately-owned relic to a permanent home in a museum that advances science and research. This particular T-Rex fossil had more than 45 percent of the original bones completed, above museums’ usual 20 percent criterion.
Metarex essentially developed decentralized ownership in fossils and came out swinging with one of the world’s rarest specimens. It’s more than just an NFT; it’s history!
OVR
OVR is a decentralized metaverse platform that compensates users for 3D scanning and mapping the earth by fusing the physical and virtual worlds through Augmented Reality. The global leap into the Metaverse will be a pipe dream until the Metaverse has geolocation, which OVR pioneers. The company just launched Map2Earn, which allows users to participate in a global treasure hunt by photographing particular areas with their smartphone cameras and getting the project’s native OVR tokens as a reward. The photos will be used to create a high-precision 3D map of the planet, which will serve as one of the cornerstones of OVR’s AR/VR metaverse.
Bonded Finance
Bonded Finance is a DeFi technology that aims to include all crypto assets, including those with lower market capitalization, in the DeFi economy. Over $100 billion is locked up in those coins, and the majority of them are just lying idle, with no opportunity to put capital to work for their owners.
Bonded Finance aims to change this by providing more access to decentralized financial markets. Bonded Finance’s Primary Lending Platform will allow stablecoin owners to receive interest on deposits while also allowing altcoin owners to utilize their altcoins as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The USB Stablecoin Platform will enable users to mint Bonded Finance USD-pegged stablecoins (USB) with low-liquidity altcoins to get exposure to long-term liquidity that may be utilized in the broader DeFi economy. Finally, the BOND Stake & Reward Platform will allow BOND token holders to earn a passive share of the platform’s fees.
Bonded Finance intends to transform itself into a DAO in the future by distributing the BOND token among community members, which will delegate voting power and allow the project to decentralize decision-making.
TrustToken
This blockchain platform allows money to be moved to where it may be used to produce more value. TrustToken is the creator of popular stablecoins such as TrueUSD and the driving force behind DeFi’s first unsecured lending protocol TrueFi. The protocol has made one billion dollars in loans. It is on course to unbundle traditional banks’ grip on lending products, giving institutional-grade investors a place to lend and borrow with reputation-based creditworthiness.
TrueFi intends to launch the full ‘Lending Marketplace’ for global lending this year, including access to third-party asset managers, Automated Loan Ratings, Borrower TRU Staking, One-Click Borrowing, and audits. TrueFi is unbundling what was formerly the unique province of traditional banks.
Blockasset
By investigating the potential of NFTs and fan tokens, the Blockasset sports platform assists iconic players in opening new revenue sources and building meaningful interactions with their following in the post-pandemic space. NFT holders receive special products, member-only AMAs, meetups, and fantasy game tournaments with their heroes, as well as the ability to vote on crucial choices.
Blockasset, created by true sports fans, honors crucial moments, wins, and losses, while small things like a virtual sticker book add to the feeling of true fandom. Add in a slew of sports icons, and you have a recipe for success: in early November, the ‘Legends” NFT collection, designed in collaboration with five top-tier players, including Muhammad Ali and Alexander Ovechkin, raised $5 million in 9 minutes.
Aside from the launchpad, the platform will include an NFT marketplace (Q4 2021) and a play-to-earn Gaming Suite (Q2 2022), both of which will be powered by the $BLOCK token.
Everest
Everest has overcome one of the most significant obstacles that crypto has faced on its path to becoming a regulated industry. How to prove human uniqueness inside the blockchain in a pseudonymous manner. This opens the door to the enormous potential of blockchain technologies. Everest’s goal is to provide individuals with free digital identities based on their biometric data, as well as an account to store money, cryptocurrency, and documents. They employ biometric data to build a public and private key pair, resulting in a cryptographic entity that is always unique because biometric data is unique to each individual.
AXIA
A comprehensive digital ecology Participants are rewarded with AXIA’s hyper-deflationary AXC coin. The decentralized network offers a clear compensation scheme to individuals who choose to use any platform’s many applications. AXIA allows consumers to choose what information to be exposed to, what data to contribute, and who profits from it using a web browser and a DeFi bank.
Corite CO
The platform for decentralized music Corite CO isn’t your average NFT platform. With the solid expertise of its founders, Universal Music Group alumni Mattias Tengblad and Emil Angervall, the support of A-list producers and entrepreneurs such as L. A. Reid and Rico Love, and the success of Corite’s Sweden-based fiat platform founded in 2019, it uses a fan-fueled equity crowdfunding model to enable fair revenue shares for musicians of all levels, end label monopolies, and democratize the music industry.
Corite CO assists musicians in getting their music displayed on all major services, including Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and YouTube, and receiving funding and marketing assistance directly from their audience and sharing a portion of the earnings with their backers.
The platform’s underlying blockchain was designed by Chromaway, best known for its multiplayer game ‘My Neighbor Alice,’ and Hedget – a DeFi protocol for decentralized choices.
World Mobile
World Mobile Group (WMG) is a global mobile network that connects the disconnected by integrating renewable energy and blockchain technology. It collaborates with important actors such as Input-Output Global (IOG), the E-Government Agency Zanzibar (eGAZ), the electronics behemoth Epson, and others to change the paradigm of connection in Africa. World Mobile has already thrown the first stone for Zanzibar, from establishing the technical infrastructure to enable its full potential and quick expansion of its blue economy to enhancing its education systems and improving connectivity and communication. The year 2022 will see the opening of its blockchain academy, creating a joint curriculum for students, and hosting conferences to draw specialists from around the world and bring talent back to the region. However, the intentions do not stop there as IOG implements blockchain in registry systems and integrates back-end government systems to enable business-process automation and collaboration. Then it’s on to the rest of Africa.
Mola
With the Mola Chill Club NFTs, this OTT multimedia streaming startup is reimagining the live event VIP experience. Mola hosts live events with prominent Kehlani, Seal, and Charlie Puth, allowing fans to interact with the performers and request songs. Mola’s live events will be restricted to NFT holders who have exclusive access and material due to the NFTs’ exclusivity.
There’s something for everyone from participatory voting to backstage access and even engagement with artists like Simple Plan and Weezer during Mola’s concerts. Mola is now available in the United Kingdom, Italy, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, reaching over 440 million potential viewers.
