TRON Founder Justin Sun to Attend the Upbit Developer Conference (UDC) in Korea and Deliver a Keynote Speech

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach – 21 September 2022 – TRON founder Justin Sun will attend the Upbit Developer Conference (UDC) in South Korea. The UDC, which will be held from September 22 to September 23 at Busan Port International Exhibitions & Convention Center (BPEX), is the first blockchain conference focusing on developers in South Korea. Sun has also been invited to deliver a keynote speech on Web3.0 via video link at the conference.

Themed on Imagine Your Blockchain Life, this year’s UDC is the fifth conference and will be held along with various events such as NFT exhibitions. The conference has invited dozens of leading roles in the blockchain industry, including Justin Sun, founder of a top 3 public chain globally. He will speak on Web 3.0 on the morning of September 23, the second day of the UDC.

Regarded as a Web3.0 bigwig by the renowned crypto media Crypto Daily, Justin Sun has the importance of Web3.0 on multiple occasions. At the WISE Metaverse x Game Industry Innovation Summit hosted by 36Kr recently, Sun stated that Web3.0 allows the engagement of both people and their wealth in the world of the Internet and will fully usher in an era of the metaverse. His keynote speech at the UDC 2022 is much anticipated by the Korean blockchain community.

TRON has been speeding up its global development in recent years. In December 2021, the TRON network became fully decentralized and was restructured into the TRON DAO community, one of the world’s largest decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO). In June 2022, the TRON-based USDD was upgraded into the world’s first over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin, offering a collateral factor of 300%, the highest globally. TRON has established a full-fledged ecosystem covering DeFi, NFT, GameFi, the metaverse, and cross-chain solutions, making itself one of the most pivotal public chains in the world.

Sun’s recent moves to bring TRON and USDD to the billboards in Times Square and in JFK Airport in order to voice at the heart of global financial capital have again garnered wide attention. Analysts suggest that such a campaign may expand TRON’s global presence and boost confidence amid the current market downturn.

It is not the first time that Justin Sun has been invited to a major crypto conference in South Korea. In November 2021, he attended NFT BUSAN 2021, an online event organized by the Busan municipal government and Busan Blockchain Industry Association, and accepted an exclusive interview with Gather Town, a metaverse-oriented networking platform. The authorities in Busan endorsed TRON by granting the initial sales of the NFT of Busan’s mascot on TRON.

TRON DAO has created an official blog (https://blog.naver.com/trondaokorea/222870938715) on Naver to cover Sun’s attendance at the UDC, indicating TRON’s future proactive moves in the Korean market.

PetaRush is a racing game based on NFT characters. The racers’ characters, such as ions, cats, pigeons, and foxes, are represented in cyberpunk style. Each character is randomly equipped with six parts, including the head, body, hands, feet, back, and accessories corresponding to exclusive skill combos. Players compete against others in locations like dunes, lakes, and volcanoes on Mars. Players can improve their character’s skills and build their competitive advantage through the “Skill Enhancement” and “Character Cultivation” functions. Players who win the race can receive a PT Qualifier Ticket equivalent to USDT as a reward.

To achieve the goal of this collaboration, the PetaRush team has successively overcome three technical hurdles. First, the 2D version of Phanta Bear is mapped to the 3D version. Second, the original Phanta Bear has no legs. PetaRush and PHANTACi create a new leg design to allow the characters to run in the game. Third, the Phanta Bear NFT is released on Ethereum. PetaRush team has released 10,000 unique 3D Phanta Bear game NFTs with their own BGM on the Binance chain through cross-chain empowerment. Through this cross-chain empowerment application, Phanta Bear owners can enter the Web3 gaming world and compete with PetaRush players. In the future, PetaRush will further expand the breeding function so that NFTs from different IPs can breed new NFTs with higher rarity, bringing more fun to the Web3 gaming ecosystem.

Terry Yeung, the investor and publisher of PetaRush and CEO of Hong Kong Empire Technology Group, said, “The cross-chain and cross-IP application of NFT is the future of Web3 games. Blockchain technology provides a platform for transferring game assets and IPs and opens up more opportunities for the gaming industry. This time, we have achieved the two milestones of “Multiple IPs” and “Cross-chain Empowerment” once. We will continue to collaborate with other major IPs. I am also looking forward to working with Phanta Bear, and welcome more IPs to join our journey.”

Ric Chiang, director of PHANTACi, said: ” We hope this partnership will surprise the Phanta Bear community. We continue our innovation and efforts in NFT utilities. We are also actively seeking more cross-border partners to let Phanta Bear holders not only feel honored to own an NFT, but also be able to play and earn in reality. We look forward to meeting and racing with our holders in PetaRush!”

PetaRush’s in-game NFT, Peta, will begin whitelist minting in October. Players can find whitelist information on PetaRush Discord. The closed beta test of the PetaRush game will begin in November. Players will be able to use the NFT characters for in-game races and experience the new era of Win to Earn.

Exploring the Forex market: the basics

Every sixth Malaysian came across Forex before. However, some questions about it remain to be answered. This overview outlines the fundamentals of the financial market and answers the safety concerns that often arise with regard to it.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 21 September 2022 – According to the OctaFX research, almost 80 per cent of the working-age population in Malaysia are familiar with the Forex market. This is over 12 million people—more than eight times the population of the country’s capital. The large-scale study of Malaysia’s population showed that a significant number of people of different sex, age, and occupation consider Forex a promising investment tool. In a related survey, more than 4.7 million people claimed to trade Forex actively.

Yet, the industry raises many questions that remain unanswered. Let’s start with the most pressing one.

The definition of Forex

In a sense, Forex is a dynamic basket of foreign currencies and exchanges. The full description reads as ‘Foreign exchange’ and houses the process of changing one currency into another. The Foreign Exchange market is decentralised by nature. It lives completely online and uses a great variety of different countries, currencies, and commodities.

The key Forex actors

The main actors of the Forex industry are, far and foremost, the broker itself, who provide the trading services, and its clients, who use them and are regular people. Also, Forex services rely on the essential relationship with liquidity providers. They function as mediators who are highly required to give traders access to the Forex market, offering the most accurate value estimation for the traded currencies.

There are global and local Forex brokers—the bigger the reach and regulatory scope, the bigger the Forex broker.

The licence issue

Global Forex brokers operate in a multitude of countries. They are often allowed to operate globally through multiple international documents. A Forex broker (such as OctaFX, IG, and AvaTrade) is an international business company, and it’s equipped with the required set of incorporation documents, allowing it to offer global financial services to clients worldwide.

An essential advantage of working as a globally recognised Forex broker is the trading conditions they wish to offer and secure for their clients. Global Forex brokers have a wider variety of instruments on offer with fair and competitive trading and investing conditions that otherwise would simply lack in the Foreign Exchange market. Therefore, opportunities arise that wouldn’t be attainable under other circumstances.

As discussed above, decentralisation for the Forex market is vital. It operates—without exception—online and utilises a wide variety of different regions and even continents, national currencies, and commodities. Even local brokers must use some features and advantages of international partners, such as payment systems and other services. So, it sounds like it can’t be limited to one particular country entirely.

The differences between Forex and other investments

Forex is often used as an alternative to more conservative types of investments, such as gold, real estate, corporate bonds, and others. In Forex, traders can make profits regardless of the state of the market. A plummeting price of an instrument is just an opportunity to short it. Apart from that, there is a low entry threshold and usually quicker returns due to the real-time nature of the market. It is no surprise that Forex naturally became a popular choice for investors and traders all over the world.

Forex brokers usually provide a variety of non-Forex instruments, ranging from commodities to cryptocurrencies, which allows investors to diversify their portfolios and manage risks more effectively.

Once again, Foreign Exchange is decentralised but, at the same time, a deeply established financial market. International brokers attract clients from all over the world, providing them with the opportunity of entering the market, which until recently was populated exclusively by banks, funds, and wealthy financiers. There is a craft to learn and regular profit to be made, even recurring income. But as with any legitimate endeavours to thrive on the financial market, one has to be ready to train their skills through education and learning.

Pioneering Volumetric Cinematography For The World’s First NFT Immersive Art Film – SHIP Produced by Art Tokyo Global Pte Ltd

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 September 2022 – Art Tokyo Global (“ATG”), a Singapore company, announced the completion of SHIP – the world’s first immersive NFT art film. Using pioneering cinematography techniques, the film sets a new milestone for the movie industry, enabling viewers to enjoy the beautiful and realistic scenes in detail and bringing new experiences for the movie-goers.

Featuring 221 NFT artworks across 14 scenes, SHIP showcases the work of over 80 emerging and established Asian artists for over 70 minutes. The film utilizes advanced cinematography techniques to capture a range of scenes in detail, from the dancers’ fluid movements to the grisly detail of epic choreographed fight scenes. One of the novel techniques employed by the director is to use volumetric photography to reconstruct 3D spaces from images taken by a 2D camera. The work is shot with over 150 high-performance cameras, providing a fully-explorable 3D space, which can record any desired position or angle – something impossibly difficult to achieve with traditional 2D filming methods. The approach used is similar to the one used in industries such as sporting broadcasts and is developed as a completely new content creation method. This approach is expected to be applied in various entertainment fields by freeing it from the limitations of conventional video production.

The use of volumetric photography in the SHIP film features a strong affinity between virtual rooms and NFT art, successfully constructing an environment where real actors and digital art can inhabit the same space. The artwork is freed from real-world constraints such as size and scale in a virtual environment. Actors are not bound to the confines of sets or stages and are given the freedom to experiment with new modes of physical expression. This allows for making surreal and awe-inspiring scenes incorporating digital artefacts and performance. During the film’s production, the director introduced a highly flexible revolutionary workflow, which allowed the film to break away from traditional methods of film production. This approach removes the need for storyboard, pre-visualization, and all other design aspects to be completed before production begins, thus allowing filmmakers greater freedom and creativity.

Mr. Naohiko KISHI, Chairman and Executive Producer of ATG, proudly commented on the novel approach to cinematography and technology employed in creating the film. He said, “They are not only compatible with volumetric photography and NFT artworks as digital technologies, but are also indispensable next-generation technologies in the field of art itself. This is essential as the film requires free and vigorous new expressions.”

The exclusive global premiere for SHIP has been scheduled for late November 2022 in Singapore, and the worldwide public release is expected in early 2023 in cinemas and across streaming platforms.

Mr. Kishi summarized the history of movie development,” Initially, the movie started in only black and white, the sound was added in soon after, followed by colours. We can now enjoy movies in 3D, IMAX, and massive computer graphics, thanks to advanced technology in recent decades. Now, we have combined the latest AR technology, embedded NFT technology within to increase interaction with the audience, and featured sophisticated artworks into one movie, SHIP. This is groundbreaking and the beginning of a new era in the film industry. So, come aboard and join us on this fantastic journey -SHIP!”
