        Winkles & Flam\u2122,<\/strong> the \u2018Cosplaying Canadian Kitties\u2122,\u2019 are the First Original Cartoon Duo of the web3 space, launching exclusively on OpenSea Drops<\/strong><\/li>
        Sphynx Ink Inc.<\/strong> comprises Oscar\u00ae-Nominated Filmmaker Adam Benzine<\/strong> (HBO\u2019s Spectres of the Shoah) & BAFTA\u00ae-Winning Illustrator Dele Nuga<\/strong> (The BBC\u2019s The Clangers)<\/li>
        Non-PFP and non-generative, Winkles & Flam<\/strong> marks a radical new model for Digital Collectibles, with high-quality, hand-drawn illustrations & weekly\/seasonal releases<\/li>
        The first project to partner with Mint Foundry<\/strong>, the new Visual Metadata Editor from the team behind acclaimed \u2018No Code\u2019 NFT service Mintplex Labs<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>
        Canadian art collective Sphynx Ink Inc.<\/strong> is partnering with OpenSea<\/strong>\u2019s exclusive \u201cDrops\u201d platform to launch Winkles & Flam<\/strong>, a ground-breaking Digital Collectibles project introducing the first cartoon duo of the web3 space.<\/p>
        Created by Oscar\u00ae-nominated filmmaker Adam Benzine<\/strong> and BAFTA\u00ae-winning illustrator Dele Nuga<\/strong>, Winkles & Flam<\/strong> \u2013 the \u2018Cosplaying Canadian Kitties\u2019 \u2013 are adorkable sibling Sphynx cats who dress up in homemade, video game-inspired outfits. A year in the works and featuring original, hand-drawn art, the project differs radically from current NFT projects. It is not a PFP (Profile Picture). Nor does it use generative elements.<\/p>
        Launching April 3 with weekly content drops, rather than all at once, Winkles & Flam<\/strong> will run for five seasons, with sets of hand-drawn images comprising a mix of free mint, fixed-price and auctioned offerings. Each set draws inspiration from an iconic video game, with an educational component \u2013 Winklepedia\u2122<\/strong> \u2013 focusing on the history of video games.<\/p>
        A Season Pass<\/strong><\/a> goes on sale today (March 27) exclusively via OpenSea Drops<\/strong>, limited to just 1,000 copies and guaranteeing buyers all 30 cards from Season 1.<\/p>
        Winkles & Flam<\/strong> is the first major project to use Mintplex Lab<\/strong>\u2019s cutting-edge, visual metadata editor Mint Foundry<\/strong>, which allows creators to edit and update information in real-time, without coding knowledge.<\/p>
        Winkles & Flam<\/strong> Creator Adam Benzine<\/strong> says: \u201cWinkles & Flam<\/strong> marks the start of \u2018Phase 2\u2019 of the Digital Collectibles space, focusing on original characters, narrative, quality and reliability, led by doxxed creators with a proven track record.<\/p>
        \u201cThe market has grown tired of low-quality, rug-pull pump-n-dumps and vaguely conceived, cash-grab metaverses. A steady stream of garbage profile pictures has turned off consumers. It\u2019s time for something fresh.\u201d<\/p>
        Winkles & Flam<\/strong> Co-Creator Dele Nuga<\/strong> adds: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with OpenSea Drops<\/strong> and grateful to the geniuses at Mintplex Labs <\/strong>for devising a solution for our unconventional release strategy. We believe Winkles & Flam<\/strong> will be the first of many projects to move to a character-based, weekly release strategy, focusing on personality, storytelling and community.\u201d<\/p>
        Season 1 of Winkles & Flam <\/strong>launches on April 3 and runs for 10 weeks, with weekly free mint cards (featuring Winkles) and fixed-priced cards (featuring Flam) released on Polygon<\/strong>. Winkles & Flam: Platinum cards (unique 1-of-1s featuring the duo together in playful scenarios) will be auctioned daily on Ethereum<\/strong>.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle. With a few major players that have dominated the investment space over the last few years, ABO Digital brings a fresh experience and an alternative way for projects to fund their development and expansion. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about ABO Digital, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abodigital.io\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.abodigital.io<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>About ABO \u00a0<br>\n<\/b>Alpha Blue Ocean (\u201cABO\u201d) is a sector-agnostic alternative investment firm operating across the world with headquarters in Bahamas..

Items such as thousands of units of PPE, hand sanitizer, and Covid test appeared on the platform. During the Hong Kong student protests, items such as full-face gas masks and protective gear were listed.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens.

It features zero fees and encrypted chat messages between buyers and sellers alongside ring signatures and blinding to provide greater transactional privacy than Monero.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s creator vanished in 2011 after being invited to meet the CIA. His last email stated,<i> \u201cI've moved on to other things.\u201d<\/i> Before he disappeared, Satoshi was working on a marketplace built into Bitcoin. Now, a working version of this technology has been quietly released by an anonymous team of developers.

As a result, sellers took advantage of Particl\u2019s decentralized governance system which offered no such selling restrictions. Items such as thousands of units of PPE, hand sanitizer, and Covid test appeared on the platform. During the Hong Kong student protests, items such as full-face gas masks and protective gear were listed. The first Tesla car was even listed for sale, well before Elon Musk took an interest in crypto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chainwire-video-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iV_xp-r-g7s\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Particl marketplace currently only lets users pay in PART, its native currency. However, project developers are working on a mechanism to support direct payments in Monero, PIVX, FIRO, Dash, USDT, Litecoin, and Bitcoin later this year.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle. With a few major players that have dominated the investment space over the last few years, ABO Digital brings a fresh experience and an alternative way for projects to fund their development and expansion. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about ABO Digital, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abodigital.io\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.abodigital.io<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>About ABO \u00a0<br>\n<\/b>Alpha Blue Ocean (\u201cABO\u201d) is a sector-agnostic alternative investment firm operating across the world with headquarters in Bahamas..

It features zero fees and encrypted chat messages between buyers and sellers alongside ring signatures and blinding to provide greater transactional privacy than Monero.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s creator vanished in 2011 after being invited to meet the CIA. His last email stated,<i> \u201cI've moved on to other things.\u201d<\/i> Before he disappeared, Satoshi was working on a marketplace built into Bitcoin. Now, a working version of this technology has been quietly released by an anonymous team of developers. Satoshi\u2019s original Bitcoin source code included an unfinished marketplace in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/p\/bitcoin\/code\/HEAD\/tree\/tags\/0.1.5\/headers.h\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">line 69 of the headers file<\/a>. <i>\u201cI was trying to implement an eBay-style marketplace built into the client,\u201d<\/i> he said in a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/satoshi-archive\/emails\/mike-hearn\/14\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2011 email to Mike Hearn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the Covid pandemic, the sale of many essential items was restricted on traditional platforms like Amazon and eBay due to price gouging rules. As a result, sellers took advantage of Particl\u2019s decentralized governance system which offered no such selling restrictions. Items such as thousands of units of PPE, hand sanitizer, and Covid test appeared on the platform. During the Hong Kong student protests, items such as full-face gas masks and protective gear were listed. The first Tesla car was even listed for sale, well before Elon Musk took an interest in crypto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chainwire-video-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iV_xp-r-g7s\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Particl marketplace currently only lets users pay in PART, its native currency. However, project developers are working on a mechanism to support direct payments in Monero, PIVX, FIRO, Dash, USDT, Litecoin, and Bitcoin later this year. There are plans to ultimately allow payment in almost any cryptocurrency thereafter, making Particl a truly crypto-agnostic marketplace.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Particl<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Particl is an Amazon, eBay and exchange disruptor.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.

rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Sfermion<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/cmt.digital\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> CMT Digital<\/a>, to expand their tokenized app platform

Using the MetaZone platform, each creator\u2019s META is assigned an NFT that represents its value, ownership, and access rights. These NFTs can be purchased and used to install each app on digital land where it can be utilized by the owner and visitors of that land.<\/p><p>MetaZone is also focused on building a set of developer tools that will provide standardized application-grade development frameworks that will enable creators to produce, distribute, and host virtual content (METAs) simultaneously in multiple virtual worlds including Decentraland, Spatial, OnCyber, Vault Hill City and Yuga Lab\u2019s The Otherside.<\/p><blockquote><strong>Andrew Steinwold of Sfermion<\/strong> believes \u201c \u2026supporting the development of metaverse applications will bring the web3 industry toward an inflection point, creating value and engagement needed for metaverse mass adoption and the resulting multi-trillion dollar virtual economy\u201d.<\/blockquote><p>Anything a creator submits to the MetaZone platform can be tokenized, purchased, and distributed through MetaZone\u2019s app store. MetaZone has simplified the content upload process down to a few clicks, allowing owners of METAs to directly install digital content onto their virtual lands throughout the metaverse without the need to deal with cumbersome files and content deployment learning curves. MetaZone already has more active creators than Facebook\u2019s metaverse.<\/p><p>MetaZone is at the forefront of a revolutionary shift, opening up new revenue streams for developers and creators through the distribution of their content across the metaverse. To date, US$2.5M has been generated by MetaZone\u2019s creators, representing what MetaZone envisions as the beginning stages of a new digital economy that will rival the economic outputs of real-world nation-states. Many of MetaZone\u2019s creators have generated thousands USD through the sale of their content, while several top creators have generated 6 figures in revenue.<\/p><blockquote><strong>Charlie Sandor of CMT Digital<\/strong> explains \u201cThe metaverse has the potential to usher in a new era of economic opportunity for a wide variety of participants. However, an aspect of its success relies on enabling creators and developers to generate content that is more impactful, functional, and engaging to ensure the metaverse produces experiences and future utilities that make it worth visiting.\u201d<\/blockquote><p>MetaZone\u2019s creators have already made METAs for games, vending machines, interactive music players, and even decentralized exchange machines that allow users to swap cryptocurrency tokens from within the metaverse and owners of the METAs to collect revenue from users.<\/p><p>METAs can also enable businesses to distribute their brand presence to willing hosts, who can operate these applications on behalf of the original creators. The rise of such revenue-generating METAs is creating a new economy that resembles real-world franchising. Furthermore, METAs have the ability to be embedded with customizable smart contract payment splits that can facilitate multi-party incentive payout structures. For example, a simple vending machine that allows users to buy a wearable NFT will payout multiple parties involved in the maintenance of that metaverse land location and application. This opens up exciting new opportunities for businesses to expand their reach and revenue potential through distributed partnerships in the metaverse, thus enabling the first ever businesses as NFTs.<\/p><blockquote>\u201cWe\u2019ve already seen the tremendous value created from web2 metaverses such as Roblox and Minecraft when enabling user-generated content creation. MetaZone is well positioned to bring in and expand on those models, ushering in a new open creator economy with direct applicability to all virtual worlds of the future\u201d says <strong>Tess Hau of Tess Ventures<\/strong><\/blockquote><blockquote><strong>CEO of MetaZone, William Gomez<\/strong> adds that \u201cThe application layer will be the driving force behind the trillion dollar metaverse, providing the framework for a vast array of immersive experiences and services that will transform exciting economic activity into a virtual economy.\u201d<\/blockquote><p>As MetaZone continues to expand into multiple metaverses and onboard more creators, the potential for the metaverse is limitless. The success of META creators thus far is just the beginning of what the future holds for this emerging digital economy.<\/p><p><strong>About MetaZone<\/strong><\/p><p>MetaZone's mission is to harness the application layer of the metaverse to onboard a billion citizens. MetaZone is the first content distribution platform designed to facilitate the open digital economy. At its core, creators are enabled to submit Metaverse Enabled Tokenized Applications (METAs) that anyone can own, experience, and deploy in any virtual world.

With an appearance nearly identical to traditional SIM cards, the BSIM card is fully compatible with mainstream mobile terminal systems such as Android and iOS. It also boasts storage space 10-20 times larger than traditional SIM cards and computing power several dozen times greater.\u00a0<\/p><p>Alongside traditional communications functions, the BSIM card also can generate and store users' public and private keys within the card. By performing digital signatures in a \"private key never leaves the card\" manner, the card reduces the risk of users' mobile terminals being targeted by malware and virus software attacks. Furthermore, the BSIM card can implement encrypted storage, key recovery functions and even integrate traditional U-shield functions. Leveraging the hardware security advantages of the BSIM card to protect users' private keys. It is currently the safest and most convenient Web3 user terminal entry solution available.<\/p><p>During the launch event, Dr. Wu Ming, CTO and Co-Founder of the Conflux Network, successfully transferred a Commemorative NFT of the China Telecom and Conflux Partnership by pressing the send button within the app. This marked the first on-chain, public use of the BSIM card, as the NFT was transferred from the BSIM card account of Shanghai Conflux Research Institute to the BSIM card account of China Telecom.<\/p><blockquote>Dr. Wu Ming from Conflux stated: \u201cFrom now on, all mobile communication users can obtain a more secure digital identity through mobile terminals and access Web3 and the metaverse with minimal technical barriers. Blockchain technology has evolved beyond its reputation as a complex and inaccessible concept, transforming into a truly practical infrastructure for applications in the global economy and people's daily lives.\u201d<\/blockquote><blockquote>Li Anmin, Deputy Dean of the Research Institute at China Telecom Group added: \u201cWe are committed\u00a0to working alongside Conflux Network in developing and promoting practical communication solutions tailored to meet genuine user needs. The BSIM card is just a first step as we collaborate in exploring a diverse range of application scenarios and supplementary products, made possible through the innovative integration of blockchain technology with modern communication advancements.\u201d<\/blockquote><p><br><\/p><p>The BSIM card will be piloted in Hong Kong before being gradually introduced to mainland and overseas markets.<\/p><p><strong>About Conflux Network<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/confluxnetwork.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Conflux <\/a>is a permissionless Layer 1 blockchain connecting decentralized economies across borders and protocols.

This new form of financing addresses a need in the cryptocurrency market, especially given the current market conditions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amine Nedjai, CEO at ABO Digital, said: \"This is an important time for the digital asset space. We're in the midst of a bear market but there continues to be solid development by innovative protocols. A lot of large investors, such as venture capitalists, will have suffered losses from the recent crypto credit contagion. This reduces the pool of available growth capital for cryptocurrency projects that ABO Digital will help fill. We see an interesting development in gaming as projects are working on more sustainable tokenomics, which can help drive adoption as well as the practical use of non-fungible tokens. We expect DeFi to continue capturing attention in this space, proving its robustness through the current crisis whilst continuing to innovate and find pragmatic solutions - such as access to liquidity for stakers of ETH. This difficult market situation, coupled with our positive outlook, makes it the perfect time to launch ABO Digital, enabling entities in this exciting space to source the funds they need to build.\" \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The timely launch of ABO Digital aligns with expectations for the digital asset space to come out of this crisis stronger in the next cycle.
