Wizard Financial’s Heroes VS Demon Lords is an on-chain PlaytoEarn game where users earn WIZARD tokens for winning battles.
“The Wizard Financial team selected Chainlink VRF because it is a top-notch solution for verified random number generation on the blockchain. It also gives our players stronger assurances that all in-game outcomes are based on a provably fair source of randomness,” Wizard Financial Lead Developer Derek said in a Medium post.
Helping African Farmers
Shamba, a Web3 decentralized monitoring reporting and verification (DMRV) network, has integrated Chainlink’s oracle technology on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, and Polygon chains.
The ecological data can be used to power smart contract applications, such as parametric crop and livestock insurance, to further Shamba’s goal of supporting farming and herding communities across Africa.
“We’re excited to integrate Chainlink technology to help access data from global satellite operators and provide it to smart contracts. By helping bring critical weather data on-chain in a highly reliable manner, the Chainlink Network helps us empower smallholder farmers across Africa to hedge against climate risks and explore new income pathways,” Shamba Founder Kennedy Ng’ang’a said in a Medium post.
Shamba plans to launch a regenerative finance (ReFi) solution to enable small farmers to create and monetize carbon credits on their farms.
We’re excited to announce that Shamba has integrated @chainlink's oracle technology on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, and Polygon chains to power parametric insurance for smallholder farmers in #Africa. #ReFi #Chainlinkhttps://t.co/t3EMeRJTEX

SEC Delays Decision on ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF to 2024

This marks another delay for the ETF, which had faced scrutiny and had its deadline extended previously.
Summary
- The SEC has delayed a decision on the proposed ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF to January 10, 2024.
- This is not the first time the SEC has delayed the decision, citing the need for more time to thoroughly evaluate its implications.
Delayed Again...
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will delay a decision on the proposed ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, pushing the new deadline to January 10, 2024. The SEC expressed the need for extra time to thoroughly evaluate the implications of this groundbreaking ETF, stating that "it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change."
Notably, this isn't the first setback for the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. Last month, the SEC delayed the fund by soliciting additional written comments. Initially slated for an August 13 decision, it appears that this unique ETF has faced ongoing scrutiny.
The latest decision comes in the wake of bipartisan pressure from lawmakers urging SEC Chair Gary Gensler to expedite the approval of a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Moreover, the SEC also deferred its verdict on the Global X Bitcoin Trust until November 21, potentially indicating a trend of delays for similar applications.
Commenting on these developments, Ark CEO Cathie Wood had previously anticipated the initial delay, suggesting, "I think the SEC, if it's going to approve a bitcoin ETF, will approve more than one at once."
While the regulator reviews multiple spot bitcoin fund applications from industry giants like BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck, and Invesco, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF remains at the forefront of the race, with decision deadlines for other proposals also extended.
Despite the delays, the SEC remains cautious, citing concerns about potential fraud and market manipulation, emphasizing the need for rigorous evaluation before greenlighting a spot bitcoin ETF. Meanwhile, the crypto community continues to await a historic decision that could potentially transform the landscape of crypto investments.
