The Bit Best Elite Leaders Summit held in Dubai concluded successfully.

DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach – 28 August 2023 – The 2023 Bit Best Elite Leaders Summit, an event led by Bit Best, concluded on August 24th in Dubai. Under the theme of “Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi),” the Summit delved into the intricacies of Web3.0 innovation, fostering a comprehensive exploration of both theory and practice. This event showcased Bit Best’s preeminence in global financial innovation and its role as a torchbearer in the realm of Web3 finance.

Caption

The Summit gathered nearly a hundred pioneers of the Web3 era, experts, scholars, and elite leaders to discuss opportunities in the new wave of Web3 trends.

Bernard Ridder, CEO of Bit Best, said at the Summit:”BTC began with electronic cash, ETH expanded with smart contracts, and Bit Best removed financial limits, pushing blockchain to limitless potential.”

Uniswap led the first wave of the DeFi world. However, the “Uniswap” moment for on-chain derivatives had not arrived. But now, the moment of change has officially arrived.

Ms. Ulviyya Ahmadova, COO of Bit Best, shared Why Bit Best Could Achieve Success:

“Immutable Sovereignty:

Bit Best’s data relies on a decentralized protocol; no single entity can modify it without authorization.

Complete Decentralization:

Bit Best is fully decentralized, capturing a broader range of quant strategies based on a basket of index liquidity proofs.

Transparency:

The openness of the blockchain ensures that every data source and operation in Bit Best maintains high transparency.

Control Over Decentralized Code Execution:

By implementing a multi-signature mechanism, any change to the smart contract must be audited by Bit Best.

The perfect integration of these four elements makes Bit Best a product of the new blockchain era. Bit Best aims to reshape the map of the DeFi world, heralding the “Uniswap” moment for on-chain derivatives.”

Friend.Tech Airdrop Guide & Layer 2 Bridging Launched on BingX

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 26 August 2023 – BingX, a leading crypto platform, has unveiled a comprehensive airdrop guide for Friend.tech, aimed at simplifying the process of earning rewards from airdrops in the crypto industry. While airdrops offer exciting opportunities, the intricate nature of the industry often makes it challenging for traders to capitalize on these benefits. BingX’s new guide aims to empower users to navigate this complexity and maximize their gains. Bridging ETH from BingX wallet to friend.tech incurs a fixed fee of just 0.5USD, whereas moving ETH from the main net to Base and then to Friend.tech comes with a minimum cost of 3.5USD. This approach proves advantageous for traders keen on engaging with emerging friend.tech as it effectively reduces gas fees.

BingX’s airdrop guide offers users a step-by-step approach to participating in Friend.tech’s airdrop. The guide outlines the process of registering a Friend.tech account, binding a Twitter account, depositing ETH into the platform, and purchasing a “key” to unlock airdrop rewards. The guide also addresses the intricacies of the airdrop rules, trading volume generation, and the risks associated with the Friend.tech token.
BingX’s airdrop guide sheds light on the potential risks that participants need to be aware of. The guide emphasizes that the value of the Friend.tech token might lack substantial value, similar to other tokens like Blur. Users are encouraged to assess the risk of purchasing KOL (Key Opinion Leader) keys, which might not hold significant value. Additionally, the guide acknowledges the project’s vulnerabilities, such as content reliance on Twitter and the potential emergence of competing projects by prominent figures like Elon Musk.
As a prominent player in the crypto industry, BingX remains committed to empowering users with essential information and tools to thrive in the dynamic landscape. The launch of the airdrop guide for Friend.tech aligns with BingX’s mission to provide users with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions and navigate complex opportunities.
