Information has always been crucial for the normal functioning of human society. While that is true, there are times certain information may not be intended for everyone to have. Within a society, there are different groups of people who have interests that are common to them. Hence, information relating to the interests of a particular group may need to be concealed from other groups of the society.
Cryptography arose as a result of a classification of individuals. The main aim of cryptography is to exchange messages between parties without disclosing the real meaning to other people. Cryptography has since evolved. From being used to conceal messages, it is now being applied in the modern world for identity authentication, digital signatures, and lots more. Let us discuss how cryptography has evolved into becoming what it is today.
Cryptography is the science of writing codes and ciphers for concealing information. Secure information is an essential aspect of the modern world. For instance, in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, it is vital to keep information safe. According to Wikipedia, cryptography is defined as converting ordinary plain text into unintelligible text and vice-versa.
Cryptography generally refers to any method adopted to transmit information only to intended persons. Cryptography not only hides and protects information, but it can also be used for user authentication. In the early days, cryptography was purely encryption, but its uses have been expanded by the use of computer science and mathematical theories. Modern cryptography is concerned with confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and authentication.
Cryptography, in its primitive form, was present even in ancient times. The earliest form of cryptography is symbol replacement which was used in ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian writings. This type of cryptography originated about 3900 years ago in ancient Egypt. It was found on the tomb of a prominent Egyptian called Khnumhotep II. However, it was not used to conceal information on the tomb. Instead, symbol replacement was used to improve its linguistic interest.
The first form of symbol replacement used to hide information was used about 3500 years ago in Mesopotamia. A Mesopotamian scribe used the method to hide a formula for making glaze for pottery.
As time passed during those ancient times, cryptography was adopted by the military to conceal very important information, a process that is still existing till today. In Greece, it was used in its city, Sparta, to encrypt messages. These messages were encrypted by inscribing the necessary information on a parchment laid over a cylinder of a particular size. The message cannot be understood until it is wrapped around a similar cylinder by the receiver. In ancient India also, spies were known to have used encrypted messages since the 2nd century BC.
The Romans used the most advanced form of ancient cryptography. The "Caesar cipher" Roman cryptography is a notable example. It was done by shifting the letters of an encrypted message by a specific number of positions down the Latin alphabet. A receiver could decipher this encryption by knowing the number of positions to shift the letter.
Cryptography became very important in the middle ages, and the Caesar cipher was the standard. However, as time went on, the science of writing codes ultimately led to the development of its counterpart science. Cryptanalysis, which is the art of breaking codes, evolved to the point that cryptography almost became useless. Around 800 AD, a notable Arab mathematician, Al-Kindi, developed a method that can be used to decode encryption. His innovative technique was called frequency analysis, and it made substitution ciphers like Caeser cipher easy to decrypt.
With Al-Kindi’s method, many people were able to decipher encryptions, making the advancement of cryptography in the middle ages necessary for it to remain valuable. Then in 1465, a new cipher was created by Leone Alberti called the "Polyalphabetic cipher." The method outsmarted Al-kindi's form of cryptoanalysis. Polyalphabetic cipher is done by encoding a message using two different alphabets. One of the alphabets used is the original alphabet in the actual message, while the other is an entirely different alphabet that represents the first alphabet in the encoded message. Polyalphabetic cipher was combined with traditional substitution ciphers to increase the security of concealed information. Therefore, it could only be encoded when the original alphabet is known. With this, the frequency analysis method of decryption became ineffective.
In 1623, another method of cryptography was developed. Sir Francis Bacon invented the Binary method of encoding messages.
Cryptography continued to advance as centuries passed. In the 17th century, Thomas Jefferson developed a new method of encryption. He called his creation the "Cipher wheel." The moving wheel consisted of 36 rings of letters that could be used for complex encoding. The method was well advanced that it could be used for complex American military encoding, and it was not adopted until the second world war.
In the second world war, another advancement in cryptography known as the "Enigma machine" was developed. Similar to the Cipher wheel, the Enigma machine used rotating wheels for complex encoding. Only another Enigma could be able to decipher the message. The method was eventually broken by early computer technology.
Cryptography became more advanced as computers were created. Unlike any ancient cryptographic method, 128-bit mathematical encryption is the most potent form of encoding messages. Like the Caesar cipher in the middle ages, this method has become the standard for computer systems and many other sensitive devices.
In 1990, quantum cryptography, a very different form of cryptography, was initiated. The further development of quantum cryptography was stalled by some computer scientists who wanted to increase the level of already known forms of encryption.
Cryptography is the backbone of cryptocurrencies. Hash functions, digital signatures, and key cryptography are some of the several advanced cryptographic techniques used in cryptocurrency. The primary purpose of these techniques is to keep data secured in blockchains and to verify transactions. Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which is a specialized cryptographic technique, is used in Bitcoin and other digital currencies as an extra means of security so that funds can get to its worthy owner.
Cryptography has been in existence for over 4000 years and has steadily evolved to present-day advanced forms. The growing need to protect sensitive data will likely lead to more innovative approaches to cryptography. Blockchain technology, which has data security as a cardinal essence, has leveraged cryptography especially concerning cryptocurrencies.

Incubation processes prepare gaming projects for launchpads by leveraging the opportunities offered by blockchain technology. Every launchpad on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) aims to connect with numerous communities by successfully pitching projects to target audiences and access project funding.
GAMI World is a launchpad and incubator platform that aims at achieving these goals. The protocol merges the gaming world with blockchain technology, connecting their community with leading names in the gaming and blockchain industry. In addition, leading names of gaming and crypto industries are involved in the unique gaming and finance (GameFi) launchpad as advisors, founders, and partners.
The platform's primary purpose is to provide blockchain-related know-how and technology for GameFi projects to help them reach larger audiences and raise funds to develop their projects. Therefore, the GAMI team and advisors put their effort towards creating a healthy ecosystem. In essence, they carefully choose the best promising projects to be launched by GAMI. The public sale of GAMI token will be on October 28th on their platform.
Many projects have little or no knowledge of blockchain technology in the GameFi industry, but have a gaming-based idea they want to launch. GAMI took a bold step towards addressing this issue by launching the launchpad and Incubation center. Therefore, projects without experience can leverage the platform to obtain the ideas needed to achieve desired growth in the gaming industry.
GAMI seeks to build the little shiny gaming ideas until they evolve to become top crypto gaming projects in the long run.
GAMI's core features are embedded in its incubation process, consisting of eight unique stages to develop projects in the GameFi ecosystem. The core features/incubation process include:
The token tier system on GAMI is fair for every IDO participant. Every tier has a guaranteed allocation, and the pool weights in each of them are balanced, ensuring that every user is satisfied with the number of tokens realized no matter the tier they fall into. In short, IDO participants do not have to worry about their choice of tiers because the pool weights would yield a decent amount of tokens to each and every one of them.
The token tier list includes Rare, Heroic, Epic, Legendary, and Unique:
Minimum Staking required: 300 GAMI token
Duration (Lock-in Period): 5 days
Guaranteed Pool Weight: 10x
Minimum Staking Required: 500 GAMI token
Duration (Lock-in Period): 7 days
Guaranteed Pool Weight: 20x
Minimum Staking Required: 1,000 GAMI token

Guaranteed Pool Weight: 100x
Minimum Staking Required: 9,000 GAMI token
Duration (Lock-in Period): 30 days
Guaranteed Pool Weight: 500x Plus Private Sale Access
The GAMI token public sale will commence in a few days.
Public sale participants belong to a tier according to the number of tokens they have, even though their tokens are locked. GAMI took to Twitter on October 22nd to announce the public sale and whitelist details. Users can enter the highest tier as it is still early.
“The time has arrived. The public sale of GAMI token will be on October 28th on gamiworld.io. Whitelist coming soon. IDO: October 28th. Listing: October 29th. Price: $0.1. TGE: 25% and then 25% monthly. Initial Market Cap: $253,125,” tweeted GAMI
GAMI will partner with YellowRoad and SafeLaunch, to launch the public sale on October 28th. SafeLaunch and YellowRoad are IDO platforms built on BSC.
The GAMI team is full of professionals with gaming and blockchain backgrounds who are aware of the pros and cons of the crypto ecosystem. In addition, they are well equipped to fix any problem that may arise. GAMI covers a large portion of the gaming ecosystem. The protocol focuses not just on Play-to-Earn games but also e-sport teams, gaming platforms, and influencers.
With its innovative tier system, accessibility, and guaranteed allocations, GAMI World would ensure that everyone participates in its IDO processes.
GAMI does not launch projects that they do not believe in by heart. The protocol’s goal remains to avoid projects without use-case. In essence, GAMI will not launch projects that offer nothing to the community other than providing tradeable tokens. They are entirely focused on delivering the highest quality gaming projects with real utility. Therefore, GAMI’s goal is not to launch numerous projects but to launch the right, promising projects.

Meme coins are going through the roof right now and it seems as if almost everyone is in on the action. However, before FOMO takes over you, you need to know that not all meme coins are built the same. Many really are only about the hype, but some are here to stay - if not flourish - into the future.
Little Baby Doge is a meme coin that could last for a long time, given the fact that the project goes beyond the speculative mania that drives most cryptocurrencies. Apart from it being a meme coin, Little Baby Doge is also active in the fight against climate change (a global problem that needs immediate action now and in the future).
Little Baby Doge (LBD) is a hyper-deflationary cryptocurrency project with a revolutionary reward program guaranteed to offer anyone in the Dogecoin family a plethora of lucrative deals. Built on the Binance Smart Chain, Little Baby Doge will offer its holders free BNB through its token burn process. The fun doesn't stop at that; the LBD platform also comes with a lottery, a swap and farm platform, and an NFT marketplace. Not only does LBD work to empower the average Dogecoin fan, but it also fights for a noble cause which is to raise funds for protecting the environment.
According to LBD's road map, Little Baby Doge is just getting started. This stage of growth will involve partnering with social influencers to inch the project ahead and increase awareness. Plans are already set for CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listings, not to mention promotional marketing campaigns to grow the number of holders past the 10,000 mark.
Given that all LBD holders will be able to earn up to 3% through instant auto-staking and rewards generated from daily transaction volumes, it is very possible for this coin to gain mass adoption within a short time.
LBD's strategic buyback approach is also a huge incentive in LBD’s capacity to retain value one year from now. Tokens are burned from every sale order thus discouraging whales from selling and encouraging holders to retain their diamond hands.
Add that to the noble cause of joining the fight against climate change with the partnership of influential climate change activists such as Greta Thunberg, and you have a meme coin ready for take-off to the moon.
