A fast-paced news update from the Launchpool team.
Sign Up For The Metaversus World Alpha Pass And be An Early Citizen!
I don't know who else agrees with me, but I think life in the physical universe is stressful. We are surrounded with very limited opportunities and people. That is why the opportunity to live in a virtual world like the Metaverse, came as a blessing to some of us. Imagine staying in the comfort of your home, but being able to interact with your friends and celebrities, as well as play games and make purchases, all in your virtual world. Distance can never be a barrier to having fun in the Metaverse.
However, current Metaverse worlds & experiences don’t deliver for brands or consumers. Their main focus is on retail, and the performance is not encouraging. Most virtual worlds deliver poor graphics & avatar representation, uninspiring virtual stores, low utility and engagement. These and many others are the things that motivated a group of young talents to develop a better virtual world which they called Metaversus World.
Metaversus World focuses on brands and their consumers. It offers metaverse-ready products, metaverse as a service, and an NFT marketplace made for brands. Brands and their consumers can as well benefit from immersive environments and hyper realism with sophisticated engagement. It also comes with new advertising models that are non-intrusive and do not rely on personal private data, and that lower the costs for brands to engage and retain their loyal customers.
Are you ready to start your virtual existent? Then sign up for our Alpha Pass by completing this form and we will reach out to 50 people in July through to September to enter early, give feedback and earn rewards for doing so.
BTC Proxy Becomes The First DeFi Protocol To Launch A BTC Yield Farming
The buzz around the introduction of yield farming was massive as crypto enthusiasts could finally put their crypto holdings to work.

The leading industry player in the DeFi space has recently announced the launch of its Bitcoin Yield Farming.
Farming goes live on the 14th of this month, although bonds were opened on the 7th of October. Farmers can enjoy attractive APY rates, as high as 7% paid in BTC, depending on the level of $PRXY staked. However, the 5-day ROI on the BTCpx bond will be 8% for this promotional period. This great milestone in the crypto space is made available through partnerships with leading custodians such as Hex Trust.

Boss Fighters Concludes a Successful Private Sale on VispX
The blockchain continues to disrupt every sector, including the gaming industry. Mobile game players no more play games for just the fun of it, but also the rewards earned from it. Launchpool Labs incubator project, Boss Fighters, is one of the leading play-to-earn (P2E) projects with great potentials to bridge the gap between the mainstream and crypto through gaming. Boss Fighters happens to be the world’s first VR / PC multiplayer action game with digital assets.
After a successful Pre-seed and seed rounds on Launchpool, the project continues to build a great gaming platform for its users. In a latest announcement, Boss Fighters just concluded a private sale round on VispX platform. About 6.3 million tokens were sold at a price of $0.005 per a BFT. The event took place on the 5th of October 2022 at 9 AM GMT on the VispX platform.
Although 63% of the targeted $50,000 was raised, the team sees this as a successful token sale looking at the current market condition and how people are reluctant to invest in projects these days. You can follow this project for more updates here: https://bossfighters.game/

Google Cloud Partners With Near Protocol, Mythical Games Expands, and Starbucks To Bring Web3 Into the Mainstream.
☁️Google Partners With Near Protocol☁️
Google Cloud and Near Protocol are collaborating, according to the Near Foundation. This cooperation will enable Google Cloud to offer "technical support" to Near award applicants by setting up the infrastructure for Near's Remote Procedure Call node supplier to Pagoda, according to an announcement published in early October.
Near Protocol is a decentralized application (DApp) platform that focuses on usability among developers and users. As a rival to Ethereum, it is likewise a proof-of-stake blockchain, capable of smart contracts, and scales by using sharding technology. Carlos Arena, the director of digital assets at Google Cloud, said in a statement that Google's infrastructure will give Near developers a way to "grow and scale" and that the firm will continue to promote "new products and services on blockchain-based platforms.
🎮 Mythical Games Expands 🎮
Mythical Games, a next-generation game technology studio at the intersection of blockchain and games. Mythical Games are taking further strides to decentralize Web3 gaming and welcome traditional users and platforms.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that it would establish The Mythos Foundation to welcome and assist new players and developers into its ecosystem. The new organization has a collection of advisors from the blockchain, gaming, and entertainment sectors, including Yat Siu from Animoca Brands, Ryan Wyatt from Polygon Studios, Pete Hawley from 100 Thieves, and others.
☕️ Starbucks To Bring Web3 Into the Mainstream🌐3️⃣
Starbucks revealed that it would allow owners of NFTs to trade them in peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges. Peer-to-peer trading of NFTs attracts speculators, as the gaming industry has seen, whose presence significantly impacts the experience of organic users, frequently in a negative way.
Starbucks needs to create markets and other mechanisms to lessen the effects of speculation and make sure the rewards program still offers the right incentives. All indications are that Starbucks will be using top-tier user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design to bridge the gap between NFT/blockchain natives and novices.
