Wrapped Hotels NFT: Pioneering the fractional real-estate scene of the Metaverse

Wrapped Hotels

Wrapped Hotels is an NFT project announcing its upcoming Genesis Launch of 999 hotel rooms on the 28 of April. The multifold growth of metaverse over the past few years has been intriguing. And rest assured that this growth isn’t slowing down any time soon. By 2026, 25% of the people shall spend at least one hour daily in the metaverse, reports Gartner. This brings an opportunity for all to make money in the virtual wave. Individuals, as well as businesses, shall improve their income by building metaverse products. Moreover, about 30% of the businesses shall have metaverse products and services ready by 2026. Therefore, investing and earning in the metaverse is an exciting opportunity, especially if you are up for a long-term game. One of the key investment opportunities in the metaverse is real estate. As per a report, the metaverse real estate was valued at $0.5 billion which is expected to double i.e., $1 billion in 2022. Currently, 4 players are ruling the metaverse real estate market namely The Sandbox, Decentraland, Cryptovoxels and Somnium. The Sandbox rules the market with 62% market share followed by Decentraland with 34%. The Cryptovoxels and Somnium have a combined market share of 4%. Another report predicts, that for the next six years the metaverse real estate to grow at a CAGR of 31%. How Wrapped Hotels Will Change the Metaverse Real Estate? At present, the metaverse real estate has options for buying land, homes and workplaces. After hanging out in one place for a long time you may feel monotony. Moreover, if you want to earn income from it, you’ll have to find a person who wishes to buy or rent your place. Here come Wrapped Hotels to your rescue. If you want to know how? Let me elaborate. Wrapped Hotels is a digital hotel with each room having unique features. The project has a supply of 10,000 rooms. Further, each room has three categories for use. One of the categories is rooms, accounting for 95% of the total supply. The remaining 5% supply comprises lounges and reception desks. The project uses ‘The Sandbox’ metaverse for its’ virtual chain of Hotels. The project allots to each of its NFT holders to a deed of ownership for a room located in The Sandbox metaverse. Similar to a real-world hotel, users can rent their rooms and generate a passive income. Coming to the ambience of the rooms that are out of this world (pun intended). The project team has worked hard on the aesthetics of the room by providing over 200 jaw-dropping furniture models (traits). Also, the furniture well caters to the utility of the room. The other aspect is that no two rooms are alike and hence an element of surprise for the people renting a new room every time. How Do I Earn from Wrapped Hotels? This is a question worth asking once you have seen the mind-boggling design of the rooms. Consider, Wrapped Hotels a commercial real estate. To explain further, real-world commercial properties like hotels, malls, shops etc. attract people & businesses and in return generate income. The same is the case with this digital hotel. Initially, the project aims to crowdfund The Sandbox plot. The people crowdfunding the plot will get project NFT in return which will signify ownership of the room. As there will be 10,000 rooms, therefore each NFT will correspond to the 1/10,000 th part of the plots. Each owner shall have the liberty to monetise their part by organising events, showcasing an NFT collection, a virtual party etc. Other than this, the room owners will get additional 8% redistribution of secondary market sales royalties. This yield comes from the staking of rooms, and gets a multiplier in the form of a colour attribute; the colour of the walls represents the tower your room lies in. So, if you own multiple rooms in the same tower, you will get a higher return on investment. The ROI calculation doubles further if the rooms are on the same floor of a tower. Project Roadmap The Q1 of 2022 marks the start of the project. The Q1 shall commence with the community growth and exclusive raffles with NFT airdrops and prizes for whitelisted members. Upon reaching a sales milestone the room owners will get benefits. At 5% sales, 2 whitelisted members will get free NFTs room airdrops. The same giveaways will be conducted at 25%, 75% and 100% sales milestones. During the sale, the Wrapped Hotel team will launch a Merch store, organise giveaways, conduct paid promotions, and funds transfer to the community wallet. The Opensea royalties redistribution among the room owners will commence upon achieving 100% sales. The Q2 of 2022 will bring up the heat with land selection for hotel development in The Sandbox metaverse with the vote from room owners. This will be done by the mean of a community vote regarding the choice of lands where the Wrapped Hotels will be located on. Upon acquisition of the land, the French VoxEdit design team will import the rooms and buildings to give you an awesome experience. Upon full integration of the hotels, they will be ready for the grand opening featuring famous artists (think SnoopDog or Deadmau5 ) and brands ( Gucci and Carrefour ) already metaverse based. In the third quarter of 2022, the room owners will be able to lend or rent their rooms via the Wrapped Bookings app. The lounge and reception area owners get a fee upon getting a booking in the hotel. The excitement and elements of surprise won’t stop here but will continue with the development of the Wrapped ecosystem. You will get to know about them through the Wrapped Hotel website and our loyal community on Discord. Genesis Sale: An Opportunity for Earning Greater Returns Wrapped Hotel is giving us an opportunity to participate in the Genesis pre-sale. There are 999 rooms available for sale. 10% of the Genesis room holders will further get lucky with a free NFT Airdrop during the public sale. Increased chances of minting rare NFTs i.e., lounge and Reception Desk. Increased redistribution rate as the overall room point allocation is higher on the Genesis Presale. Thus, a higher drop rate of rare rooms also means an higher passive income redistribution compared to the Public Sale one. Genesis room owners will get numerous giveaways of IRL resorts and hotel experiences. About Wrapped Hotels Wrapped Hotels is a collection of 10.000 unique and finely designed rooms.Holding any of these rooms will grant you access to the Wrapped ecosystem that will include an airdrop of its equivalent structure in the metaverse as well as a passive income stream from the first quarter. This 3D version will be part of our towers on The SandBox and yours to rent or party! Contact Details Wrapped Hotels Media Group wrappedhotels@gmail.com Company Website https://wrappedhotels.io/

Telos Neutralizes its Past and Present Carbon Footprint - Net Zero

Telos Foundation

Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is thrilled to announce to the billion plus global citizens that proudly celebrate and embrace Earth Day that they now have a carbon-neutral smart contract option. Telos with the consulting aid of Plannet Zero, part of RedShaw Advisors Ltd, a leading carbon risk management and procurement firm, have committed to purchasing sequestration projects that will negate the emissions of the blockchain’s entire history. The offsetting is being performed in the form of biochar, which sequesters carbon (removes it from the atmosphere permanently), versus buying emission avoidance credits. Going Net Zero is the sweet spot that the Telos core developers have been striving to tap into for some time now. Up until now Telos’ energy consumption has been scaled down via decarbonization to bring the energy consumption down to less than 0.000002 kWh per transaction. This was monumental when compared to Bitcoins’ 2,258.49 kWh per transaction, Ethereum’s 238.22 kWh per transaction or even Visa’s ~0.00148 kWh per transaction where Telos is still a massive ~740x less. This was a great stride, and the team is very proud of this achievement, but it was still short of the goal of becoming environmentally invisible. Plannet Zero worked with Telos to calculate their carbon footprint by conducting an analysis to quantify the Telos blockchain’s energy consumption over the life of the chain. This analysis dated back to the first block ever generated, late 2018. Now, Telos is continuing to work closely with Plannet Zero to validate Telos’ emissions profile and carbon reduction purchases. Telos has also already allocated the funds needed to continue sequestering the equivalent release of carbon by the blockchain into the future. The commitment made was to first neutralize the carbon footprint of the past and then to continue neutralizing the carbon footprint as needed. As a result, Telos will now be a Net Zero Layer 1 blockchain that is still ludicrously fast, inexpensive, not congested, credibly neutral, decentralized, easy to deploy on and free of any front running / MEV. “dApps now running on the tEVM will be running carbon neutral smart contracts by default. The same neutrality umbrellas over all the end users minting and trading NFTs or coins on the Telos Blockchain. There is something bigger than all of us to be said about this achievement!” AJ Dinger, Telos Head of Business Development In addition to offsetting the blockchain’s carbon footprint, Telos in conjunction with Plannet Zero, is in the final stages of meeting all carbon neutral requirements for Scope 1, Scope 2 and operational scope 3 emissions for every aspect of Telos, including Telos Foundation and Telos Core Development staff. The carbon offset will be all encompassing and will be in full compliance with BSI PAS 2060 and will be verified by BSI.

tvScientific Raises $20 Million Series A Funding to Drive Performance Advertising for Connected TV

tvScientific

tvScientific ( tvscientific.com ), the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for the connected TV (CTV), announced today it has raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand on its mission to make TV advertising a massive growth driver for brands and apps of all sizes. The round was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from strategic partners NBCUniversal and Hearst Ventures. “Advertisers have always coveted the reach and engagement of television, but the medium’s immeasurability has made it inaccessible to all but the biggest brands,” said Jason Fairchild, co-founder and CEO of tvScientific. “We’ve unlocked the awesome power of television for all types of advertisers by simplifying and automating CTV buying and optimization while leveraging massive data to prove the value of TV advertising.” Built specifically for performance marketers, tvScientific is the first company to offer ad buying, measurement, and optimization for CTV advertising all in one platform. The tvScientific platform connects with 95% of AVOD streaming apps through direct deals allowing advertisers to successfully scale their campaigns. The platform leverages proprietary attribution technology that enables advertisers to match ad exposure to site visitations and other desired outcomes with a 1:1 deterministic ID match, giving advertisers 100% accuracy and transparency they value. The end result are highly targeted ads that can be optimized through tvScientific's proprietary automatic optimization technology to help advertisers achieve their user acquisition goals, all while giving advertisers radical transparency and complete control over their data, including access to log-level events. Television has been one of the most prominent advertising channels since the 1940s and ‘50s, but most performance-based advertisers eschew the channel in favor of digital media and other, more quantifiable channels. In the rise of CTV, which currently penetrates 94 million U.S. households, and its inherent measurement capabilities, performance advertisers face new opportunities. eMarketer predicts that CTV ad spend in the U.S. will reach $29.5 billion by 2024 — more than 40% of total TV ad spend today. “The reality is that the $72 billion U.S. television advertising market is dominated by fewer than 500 national advertisers,” said Jeff Crowe, managing partner, Norwest Venture Partners. “CTV opens the door for many new advertisers to pursue performance advertising in an effective and cost-efficient way. tvScientific has practically eliminated the friction in CTV advertising and made it far easier for businesses of all sizes to buy CTV inventory with the control, measurement and accountability they’re accustomed to getting from search and social channels.” Since launching its platform in April of 2021, tvScientific has experienced rapid growth. tvScientific offers fully managed services and also makes its technology available as a self-serve platform so marketers can bring their performance TV buying in-house at any time. The funding brought tvScientific’s total amount raised to $23 million, including a $3 million seed round from IdealabX, AperiamVentures, and angel investors from companies such as Yahoo!, Kabam, Integral Ad Science, GoFundMe and others. The company was founded by senior executives with deep roots in digital media, programmatic advertising, and ad verification, including Bill Gross, founder of GoTo.com; Jason Fairchild, co-founder of OpenX; Kent Wakeford, former COO of Kabam and co-founder of Integral Ad Science; and David Koye, former chief digital officer of SummitMedia. The company will use the new funding to grow its customer base, hire for key roles in engineering, product, data science, marketing, sales and other departments, and continue innovating the product in support of the company’s mission of making TV accessible, measurable and performant for all businesses. About tvScientific tvScientific is the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for connected TV. The tvScientific platform makes TV advertising accessible and measurable for brands and apps of all sizes. tvScientific offers a self-managed solution custom built for performance marketers, that simplifies and automates TV buying and optimization, leveraging massive data to prove the actual value of TV advertising. The platform reaches 95% of AVOD inventory using proprietary, deterministic ID technology to measure ad exposure to outcome in an approachable, radically transparent and scalable way. An Idealab company, tvScientific was co-founded by senior executives with deep roots in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification.

Hamza Abo$$'s “Im Not Perfect” Is A Meritorious Long-Playing Record

Hamza Abo$$

"Im Not Perfect" speaks to a multitude of primordial human struggles. Perhaps this is the reason "Im Not Perfect" has become so popular.
