General Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Warsaw, Poland, 31st August, 2022, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p> AngelBlock<\/u><\/a> is a platform dedicated to bringing together vetted, noteworthy crypto and FinTech startups with knowledgeable investors. The aim is to allow frictionless providing of financing and support by investors to new ventures in the crypto, blockchain, and FinTech space focusing on early-stage investments, in a manner that's fully on-chain and decentralized. The team prepares to launch the fundraising platform in Q4 later this year, and they want to support three promising startups with a 90,000 USDT grant program. Winners of the grant will not only get 30,000 USDT each but will also be listed on the platform for fundraising and have access to the core AngelBlock team for mentoring.<\/p>\n There were many reasons for creating AngelBlock. The most important is that the team saw a glaring need to address the friction points for fundraising in crypto. Holdings post-raise are not well decentralized, there\u2019s a lack of transparency and investor protection, not enough emphasis on keeping startups accountable for their milestones, and the obvious problem of VCs dumping on retail even though both parties took part in the same round. In short, AngelBlock wants to generate as much value for investors, startups, and their communities within the digital assets ecosystem.<\/p>\n AngelBlock's mission is to build a community of investors, supporters, and entrepreneurs developing innovation in crypto sustainably.

BitMart is a decentralized exchange also known as a DEX founded in 2017 by Sheldon Xia. This announcement is a big step forward for the WINkLink community as BitMart is one of the largest DEXs worldwide with over 5 million users, is supported in 180 different countries, and has millions of transactions per day. In the case of WINkLink, there is an incentive program to help motivate user nodes in order to actively grow the reach of the oracle platform. The basis for this is to reward nodes that are reliable and trustworthy with WIN tokens. Developers who wish to receive data from this oracle will pay the nodes in WIN tokens. This is a decentralized application that truly helps bridge the gap between the Web2 and Web3 worlds, while providing lots of utility for the users. WINkLink\u2019s decentralized mechanism allows smart contracts to connect with data from the real world fairly. As mentioned earlier, their native token will now be listed on BitMart, which means that more users will have the opportunity to support growing the WINkLink oracle. WINkLink has long been providing important features for different protocols across the Web3 space. For example, DeFi protocols benefit from the WINkLink oracle for its price quote provision for tokens that are being traded and the collateral on specific loans. DeFi projects can also utilize this data to further improve their protocols. Running on the TRON network<\/a> , WINkLink allows users to benefit from faster, reliable, and much cheaper transactions than most other major blockchains. Data can be integrated into a trustless and seamless process that helps expand the reach of Web3. WIN listing on BitMart is another milestone along the further development of the WINkLink oracle. About WINkLink<\/b><\/i> As the first comprehensive oracle in the TRON ecosystem, WINkLink fully integrates the real world with the blockchain space, provides reliable and verifiable random numbers, and fully restores trust and improves user experience by tapping into data, events, and payment systems from the real world. WIN, a TRON-based TRC-20 token, is the governance token of the WINkLink oracle network, and has been listed on Binance, KuCoin, Poloniex, Bithumb, HitBTC, WazirX, and many other well-known international exchanges.<\/p>\n Dubai, UAE, 30th August, 2022, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Flare Network<\/u><\/a>, the new blockchain that aims to connect everything, has announced the launch of a novel crowdfunding launchpad in partnership with the Swiss blockchain software and infrastructure firm Lena Instruments<\/u><\/a>. CloudFunding is a launchpad that\u2019s designed to bring a new dimension to the concept of crowdfunding, with contributors gaining exclusive access to carefully curated crypto projects and unique benefits, while retaining custody of their principal investment. In current crypto launchpads, contributors simply decide how many tokens they wish to allocate in support of the initiative. CloudFunding contributions instead come from the rewards earned by contributors' wrapped FLR\/SGB capital, a model that ensures contributors will always hold onto their principal investment. Through this unique model, CloudFunding provides one of the most secure and low-risk crowdfunding mechanisms in the crypto industry. Contributors can dedicate anything from 1% to 100% of the rewards their principal generates to fund the projects they believe in, all while retaining their original investment. In return for their contributions, users will have access to an IOU of the project\u2019s token, available before the token generation event, which will be listed by a number of Flare\u2019s decentralized exchange partners. These IOUs can then be freely exchanged without needing to wait for the project\u2019s native token to be distributed. For projects launching on CloudFunding, the major benefit is they receive a regular cash flow that comes in at the end of each reward epoch, and for the entire duration of their community\u2019s contribution. Using this cash flow, CloudFunded projects will have a way to pay their bills, fund development, market themselves and create a long-term business plan while keeping their communities up to date on their progress, deliverables and milestones. They can build greater trust with their communities, with backers assured the peace of mind that comes from knowing they retain custody of their initial principle throughout the process. CloudFunding also provides support such as community forums, networking, legal advice, smart contract audits and other financial services to projects through Lena Instruments\u2019 experts. Moreover, projects are guaranteed instant liquidity through partnering DEXs the moment their CloudFunding campaign concludes. Uniquely among crowdfunding launchpads, CloudFunding campaigns are divided into two periods: the Raise Period and the Yield Period. The Raise Period is where the community is asked to show its support by wrapping and locking their SGB\/FLR tokens in a smart contract, with the aim being to reach a specified Target Amount before a deadline set by the project\u2019s team. Assuming the Raise Period was successful, it will be followed by the Yield Period, during which the rewards generated by the Target Amount will be donated to the project after each rewards epoch. For projects that haven\u2019t yet launched a native token, the token IOUs will be distributed to the community immediately in its place, allowing backers to begin trading it at once. The Yield Period will be specified by the project, and can last for a maximum of five months. At the end of the Yield Period, contributors will automatically receive their original principal plus the project tokens, proportional to the IOUs they hold. On the other hand, if the Raise Period was unsuccessful, the project will not be able to secure CloudFunding and the principle and rewards accrued so far will be returned to the community. Hugo Philion, CEO & Co-founder of Flare<\/b>, said: \u201cCloudFunding is a perfect example of how developers can take advantage of the decentralized data infrastructure built natively into the Flare blockchain. By using the Flare Time Series Oracle as the mechanism for contributing to exciting new projects, CloudFunding creates a win-win-win situation. Flare obtains another FTSO provider that\u2019s highly incentivized to provide accurate price data to the network; new projects get early access to community funding and support; and Flare token holders get the opportunity to join new exciting projects with zero risk to their principal.\u201d Hugo added: \u201cFlare Network recognizes the value of CloudFunding technology in the blockchain space, and is grateful and excited that Lena Instruments has chosen Flare and Songbird to build its CloudFunding platform.\u201d Laura added: \u201cCloudFunding is one of the many products Lena will be releasing over the next few months on Flare and Songbird to improve the public's, projects\u2019, and institutions\u2019 access to this exceptional Layer 1. We would like to thank our partner Flare Networks for the trust they have placed in our team, and promise to continue delivering smart, necessary, safe, fun and user-friendly products to accompany Flare on its way to success.\u201d About Flare<\/b> Flare<\/u><\/a> is a powerful new blockchain built to connect everything. It presents developers with a single, simple, coherent stack on which to build applications that are fully cross-chain capable. Flare\u2019s protocols will provide (1) scalable EVM-based smart contracts; (2) truly decentralized price feeds; (3) secure state acquisition from other blockchains via the first consensus protocol for external data; (4) insured smart contract token bridging; (5) non-smart contract token bridging; (6) secured data relay; (7) horizontal scaling through a fully interoperable multi-chain ecosystem. This will allow developers to serve multiple communities and ecosystems simultaneously through a single deployment on Flare.

<\/p>\n\"We saw this crypto winter as an opportunity to not only help some promising startups but also as a great way to showcase our unique solution to what we think is one of the biggest blockers in this space\" \u00a0<\/i>says Alex Strzesniewski, AngelBlock CEO.<\/blockquote>\n
What is AngelBlock<\/b>
<\/p>\n\"The easiest way to describe AngelBlock would be to call it a DeFi protocol focused on fixing the problems of fundraising within the space. Our solution works solely on smart contracts and adds much-needed transparency and decentralization to the fundraising process. Investors can vote on startup milestones and track everything on-chain which means governance out-of-the-box from day 1 \u2013 that\u2019s really cool.\" \u00a0<\/i>says COO, Max Torres.<\/blockquote>\n
\nThe team has been building all throughout 2021 and 2022 having launched their AngelBlock NFTs<\/u><\/a> in Q2 2022 \u2013 which will unlock benefits on the platform. The launch of v1.0 of the AngelBlock protocol and platform is planned for October 2022, followed by the $THOL Token Generation Event in the same month.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Startup_grant-5_1661954394iOwr0QIPmk-1160x609.jpg\")
