Fetch.ai backs Unicred with Strategic Partnership
Artificial Intelligence For Everyone…Your Personalised AI Assistant
On January 28th Fetch.ai which is a cambridge-based artificial intelligence lab building an open-access decentralized machine learning network for smart infrastructure, announced a partnership with UniCred, a DeFi and NFT Monetization Protocol.
UniCred’s core objective, as a multi blockchain money market and NFT monetization protocol, is to build DeFi solutions adhering to the principles of web 3.0. UniCred’s strengths also lie in its plans to integrate NFTs into lending & borrowing. The huge popularity of NFT combined with the growing ecosystem of uncollateralized lending enable UniCred to utilize NFT-based blockchain identities as the foundation for its uncollateralized lending and attract users with less liquidity.
This strategic partnership will enable UniCred to utilize the scalability, interoperability and advanced cryptography afforded by Fetch.ai’s autonomous economic agents. It would also enable calculations for dynamic interest rate and LTV to happen on chain, with the deployment of AI models on the Blockchain; as the chain is capable of processing them.
If you missed the opportunity to stake for a guaranteed allocation of UniCred’s $UCR token, here’s another chance to get some free tokens as part of the The Gem Hunters x UniCred Contest.

Launchpool Project Update – Mintlayer
Empowering Bitcoin With A Side-Chain That liberates Finance And Adds Value To DeFi & Bitcoin’s Interoperability
Here’s a quick update on the Mintlayer project. The project's guiding philosophy is to provide a platform on which anyone can freely build: allowing creatives to experiment with new, less expensive methods of operation and market entry. This will encourage innovators to create tools that benefit the community and keep DeFi open to new users by addressing current market inefficiencies.
Mintlayer is serving DeFi markets by improving token interoperability through empowering users ways to trade value, create systems, functionalities, and participate in truly trust-less finance.
The platform does not require the use of a native gas token for transactions and, through the tokenization ecosystem, supports taxation, investment payouts, and other tokenomic models for utility tokens. Join the Mintlayer Community now, to be among the first to receive project updates.

Solana’s Wormhole Drained, Crypto Donations Spiked, and Matt Damon Mocked
🕳️ Solana’s Wormhole Drained 🕳️
Solana’s largest bridge - Wormhole, has been exploited for $326 million worth of crypto. This comes right after a bug caused liquidation on its main lending platform.
Jump has reimbursed the protocol and backed the manipulated funds, but the confidence in the ecosystem has been shaken. Hopefully more safeguards will be built around the protocol going forward.
⚡ Crypto Donations Spiked ⚡
A new report states that crypto donations are up by 16x with an average crypto donation of $10,455 per person. This is in contrast to cash which sits only at $128 per person.
Hopefully this trend continues and solidifies crypto’s use case as a borderless charity solution.
🤡 Matt Damon Mocked 🤡
Megastar Matt Damon recently starred in a commercial for crypto.com which has been roundly mocked by both the internet and South Park's season premiere.
The actor's appearance sparked a myriad of memes and parodies almost instantly, with South Park making the joke “We just have to be brave... But not too brave or else Matt Damon will come and take all our money,"
Maybe this ad should have stayed on the drawing board
