Launchpool Labs Incubated Project - xG Studios To Create The First #GreatNorthRun NFT
Build Your NFT Collection…..One Achievement At A Time 🏅
Have you ever participate in high school sporting events? What about sporting meets at your local club? If you did (and were really good) you’ve probably got a box full of medals or trophies lying somewhere about the house. How cool would it be to have each of your sporting achievements digitally recorded and verifiable. While that option may not have been around in your high school days, it is now possible with Launchpool Labs' incubated project: xG Studios.
xG Studios allows individuals to start building a collection of personal achievements digitally in the form of NFTs. Through the use of blockchain technology, these NFT medals and cups are much easier to hold and track. No more countertop space needed; and as social platforms like Instagram began rolling out support for NFTs, you will soon be able to display your achievements and awards directly to your social media page.
Earlier this week, Great Run announced a strategic partnership with xG Studios to create an exclusive #GNR22 NFT. This first ever, special edition NFT will be available exclusively to member runners taking part in this weekend’s Great North Run Half-Marathon. This sporting event is expected to attract over 60,000 runners and is estimated to raise over $29M for charity, while also celebrating the life of the Queen.
xG Studios is committed to delivering on its roadmap of bringing #move2earn missions to the masses!!

Launchpool’s Support Ticketing System
Service To Community A Top Priority….#CommunityFirst…..Always!!
Community-driven crypto projects such as Launchpool, seek to offer every means possible in providing the best user experience for their community. One of the key areas for user experience is that of technical support. Many projects often provide technical support through emails, but as has been the norm, there are often lengthy delays in sending and receiving responses which makes this method quite unfavorable in times of emergency.
In an attempt to shorten support service delays, many projects looked at interacting directly with their communities by making use of Telegram specific support groups and support bots. Unfortunately, due to the numerous scammers lurking on Telegram, many scammers caught wind of this and by taking advantage of unsuspecting users, instances of scamming occurred.
These scammers often hang around the community and the moment a user makes a request for assistance in the support group, they would quickly contact the user often disguising themselves as admins of the community. During their interactions with their unsuspecting victim, the scammer would request or send a link that captures the secret-recovery phrases of the user’s wallet and drain all of their funds. Sadly, many newbies have fallen for this trick.
To counteract this threat, Launchpool has devised a more robust way of solving users' queries in the form of a dedicated Discord Support Ticketing System. Such a system is rarely seen in the Crypto-Community space and makes it almost impossible to get scammed as the scammer does not know when requests for assistance are made by users.
The Launchpool Support Ticketing System is designed in such a way that only our “real” Admins are able to see and respond to a user’s issue. Creating a support ticket on the Launchpool Discord server is also quick and easy. We encourage everyone to utilise this means of technical support whenever it may be needed.
These steps for creating a Support Ticket are outlined below:
1. Join the Launchpool Discord server
2. Go to “Support” channel, found in the Helpdesk section of our Discord server.
3. Create a new ticket depending on the issue being experienced.
4. You may select either KYC Support, Launchpool Support, or Labs Support.
5. Our support staff are available 24/7 to assist you.

Hacker Steals Bill Murray's Crypto, FIFA Unveils NFT Platform On Algorand, Japanese Gov’t Issues NFTs
🚨 Hacker Steals Bill Murray’s Crypto 🚨
An unidentified hacker stole money from Bill Murray's NFT auction, which on Thursday raised 119.2 ETH (or around $185,000) for charity. According to evidence from Murray's team and on-chain data from Etherscan, the hacker began to empty Murray's personal wallet on Thursday around 7:00 p.m. ET.
The unidentified person also made an attempt to steal the actor's personal collection of non-fungible tokens. The high-profile hack showcases how even well-known celebrities can fall victim to crypto hackers and thieves. As fate would have it, the auction's original runner-up bidder has offered to replace the stolen funds.
⚽ FIFA Unveils NFT Platform On Algorand ⚽
FIFA, the world's governing body of soccer, has announced it will introduce a Non-fungible Token (NFT) platform called "FIFA+ Collect" for digital collectibles with a soccer theme in the months leading up to the 2022 World Cup.
From the beginning, Algorand has focused on building technology that promotes inclusivity, opportunity and transparency for all,” said Silvio Micali, founder of Algorand. “This partnership with FIFA, the most globally recognised and distinguished organisation in sports, will showcase the potential that the Algorand blockchain has to transform the way we all experience the world’s game.”
🖼️ Japanese Gov’t Issues NFTs 🖼️
The Japanese government has become one of the first to issue nonfungible tokens (NFTs) as a form of supplementary rewards to recognize the work of local authorities who have excelled at using digital technology to solve local challenges.
Seven mayors received recognition for their cities' ideas centered on the digital economy. Among them was the mayor of Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, whose administration suggested using electric vehicles for local deliveries. Hats off to the Japanese government for leading with this initiative 👏👏👏
