New Workshop for Developers and Teams

Following a successful online orientation workshop on January 20th, Pi Network is set to host another shortly. The protocol calls on all hackathon participants and Pioneers to attend its upcoming “Technical Workshop and AMA.”

The new online program is scheduled for Friday, February 3rd, at 3 PM UTC. Like the first iteration, the Technical Workshop and AMA will be held via Zoom. Pi Network disclosed through its official Twitter page that the session is open to anyone to ask questions and learn more about the blockchain.

Further, attendees stand a chance to win Pi rewards. Pi Hackathon participants should check their emails for more details about the event, including the Zoom link to join. Non-participants can also join the event through the Pi Hackathon website.

The Pi Hackathon started on January 9th, welcoming developers and teams looking to build on Pi Network across three themes: Social Media, GameFi, and Consumer Utilities. Since then, over 4000 users have registered for the event to gain support and funds for launching on Pi Open Mainnet.

While Pi is still an enclosed mainnet, the number of innovative Decentralized Applications (dApps) interested in building on the mobile mining blockchain is a positive development. BSC News has been following these protocols accordingly. You can check out some of the top five noteworthy projects on the Pi Hackathon HERE.

What is Pi Network:

Pi Network is a novel cryptocurrency and developer platform that allows mobile users to mine Pi coins without draining the device’s battery. Pi’s blockchain secures economic transactions via a mobile meritocracy system and a full Web 3.0 experience where community developers can build decentralized applications (dapps) for millions of users.

New Immutable X Web3 Gaming Passport

Immutable X has announced the upcoming launch of a new Web3 Gaming Passport designed to be an easy-to-use non-custodial Web3 wallet to onboard new users.

The new development seeks to solve the major obstacle of onboarding users to Web3 by eliminating barriers to “streamline user onboarding,” according to the Immutable X website. Robbie Ferguson, CoFounder of Immutable X, called the move a “giant leap” for Web3 gaming in his tweet which accompanied the announcement.

Immutable X was the fastest-growing blockchain and NFT gaming platform in 2022. A recent DappRadar report showed that Immutable X’s trading volume jumped 250% from 2021 to over $87 million. This was the biggest jump in Web3 for the year and the only major platform to see green numbers.

The development of the passport system could help Immutable X take even more market share into 2023 by making the onboarding to Web3 as easy as possible using familiar interfaces from Web2.

“For Web3 gaming to reach a billion players, onboarding must be invisible, secure and work across any game – mobile, console or desktop," Ferguson told CoinDesk. "Passport is a self-custodial wallet, where users can sign in with just an email and one-time password – it will be a game changer for players and radically reduce user acquisition costs."

The new passport is set to launch in April 2023.

What is Immutable X:

Immutable X is the leading Layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs to enable gas-free minting and trading, while not compromising the security of the most used blockchain globally for NFTs, Ethereum. The solution offers instant trade confirmation, massive scalability (up to 9,000 transactions per second), and fantastic developer and user experience. Immutable X has announced integrations with established marketplaces such as OpenSea and Mintable, and is powering some of the largest content creators in the world like Tiktok, Disney, Marvel, and more.

Pi Withdrawal Goes Live

Pi Chain Mall (PCM) has launched the highly anticipated Pi withdrawal function. Users can now withdraw Pi coins on the marketplace.

PCM vendors will be able to withdraw 50 Pi daily. The protocol plans to increase the withdrawal limit through a merchant verification system, allowing verified merchants to withdraw thousands of $Pi. PCM announced the launch on February 1st, embedding an image of the numerous users already utilizing the feature.

Following the successful launch, the PCM team wrote to BSC News, expressing delight at becoming the first marketplace on Pi Network to integrate the withdrawal function.

“After months of development and testing, we are launching the Pi withdrawal function! We are probably the first and the largest Pi marketplace for launching the large-scale automatic Pi withdrawal function. We believe this could bring more liquidity for the Pi ecosystem,” PCM wrote.

As BSC News reported on January 30, users interested in withdrawing Pi from PCM must complete email verification and set up a 2FA key using Google Authenticator, as it is imperative to the security of their assets.

PCM does not charge any fees for Pi withdrawals. However, vendors will be charged 0.01 Pi for transaction fees on the blockchain. Already, users have started dropping positive reviews about the feature. Visit the PCM website (pipcm.com) on Pi Browser to learn more.

At this time, the Pi Network Core Team has not confirmed an official connection between Pi Network and fiat.

Building With the CORE Ecosystem

LFGSwap, a top-tier Decentralized Exchange (DEX) built on the Core network, has announced its strategic partnership with the Satoshi Plus-backed blockchain.

The DEX, which offers users numerous features, including Swapping, Farms, Pools, and IFOs, will utilize the collaboration to connect with Core’s large ecosystem. LFGSwap announced the impressive development on February 1st via Twitter. BSC News spoke to the LFGSwap core team, and one of the representatives, Hunter, lauded the partnership.

“Our team sees an incredible opportunity to join an ecosystem with so many builders and to work together with many projects through our recognized products such as Swap, Farm, Pools, and IFO, bringing more professional and highly playable ecological applications to users of the entire Core ecosystem,” Hunter said.

According to Hunter’s statement, the strategic partnership will ensure that LFGSwap unveils its product suite to top protocols building atop the Core blockchain. Further, the DEX will benefit from the network’s large ecosystem, attracting many users in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space:

“It is great to have strategic cooperation with such a professional team as Core. They have a huge community of users. Core deployment also marks the first time that LFGSwap has worked closely with a blockchain team to deploy on a blockchain,” the team added.

LFGSwap will look to build on its development with the strategic partnership. The protocol is working on collaborating with other platforms to give users the best DeFi experience. BSC News will closely monitor DEX’s progress in the industry.

Happy Birthday, Gorillas!

The crypto sector can be a cruel mistress, so every year that a Web3 project survives is cause for celebration. Accordingly, the FEG Token team took a few moments to recognize the second anniversary of the launch of the project (formerly called Feed Every Gorilla).

Like the entire crypto sector, FEG has seen its fair share of blistering heights -- particularly peaking in Spring 2021 and Fall 2022 -- as well as frustrating lows as the project churns through the current bear market.

Big things could be on the horizon, as the project’s much-anticipated Smart DeFi 2.0 product is set to launch in the first quarter of the year.

What is FEG Token:

FEG Token is a decentralized transaction protocol on Ethereum and BNB Chain. FEG was created by FEGrox, the project’s pseudonymous lead developer. The native FEG token is a hyper-deflationary, community-driven governance token with a 2% transaction tax. FEG offers an entire ecosystem built with a focus on reshaping and evolving how decentralized finance works. It includes a FEG Exchange for swapping, staking and providing liquidity to tokens, as well as fWraps, which enable users to wrap another cryptocurrency like ADA, DOGE, or XRP and receive rewards.
