Telland Releases First of Its Kind Farmland NFTs on Telos Blockchain

Telos Foundation

The mint is currently underway on Telos EVM providing users with a unique opportunity to own collectable artistic NFTs representing access to yields from 100 square meters of physical land within the Proyecto Ecológico Nuestro Paraíso in the Northwestern region of Piura, Peru, South America. However, the use-case of Telland NFTs goes far beyond simple ownership. These land plots will contribute to the growth of local farmers' sustainable organic produce and a more robust economy in the region. Perpetual Rewards for Holders Users that mint one or more Telland NFTs will receive annual rewards in perpetuity, financially backed by the revenue generated from the South American farmland. Currently there are only 100 NFT parcels of land priced at $150 USD in TLOS tokens each available to mint. The rewards payment breakdown is as follows: Year 1 of ownership - Holder receives minimum guarantee of $30 (20% APR on NFT mint price) Year 2 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $50 (33% APR on NFT mint price) Year 3 of ownership - Holder receives a minimum guarantee of $75 (50% APR on NFT mint price). This minimum continues perpetually from year 3 onwards. The collection debuts at an ideal moment as accumulating land ownership is more challenging for millennials today than at any other time in our history. Furthermore, Telland NFTs offers holders a chance to generate passive revenue from a real-world asset that benefits the environment while omitting painstaking bureaucratic processes and paperwork. Telland is also a participant in the Telos Mission NFT contest, which offers NFT creators a chance to win substantial prize money and acclaim in the NFT community. The contest has over 60 submissions to date and Telland's participation provides yet another opportunity for value increase in the event Telland is announced a winner. Public voting begins on July 23, 2002, on the TaiKai Network. "We chose Telos primarily for two factors: the community and the technology. The vision of the founders of Telos was to create a community around the ideas of service to society and care for the environment. Telland wants to do just that by converting arid lands into farmlands that produce fruits with a high nutritional content that help the well-being of humanity. In terms of technology, the ease of creating and deploying smart contracts in the Telos EVM, the incredible speed and low cost of transactions was such that the decision to build on their network was simple." -Paul Gonzales, Telland Co-founder "Telland is an amazing example of real-world application of NFTs and a glimpse at the future of tokenised land and real estate. At $150 an NFT, these prove to be a very interesting way to gain exposure to the value of real estate. The idea of being able to buy and trade land rights with such ease is magical to anyone who has had the pleasure of making a traditional real estate purchase where the process is incredibly slow (taking 2-4 weeks) and requiring middle men and costly fees" -Justin Giudici, Telos Foundation CEO About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is an ESG compliant Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers full-service compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts.

BettorEdge

BettorEdge, a no-fee social betting marketplace connecting sports fans, won the Rising Star of the Year award at the 2022 SBC Awards North America, held on July 14 in New York City. Held annually, the awards recognize the expertise and innovation in the North American betting and gaming industry. BettorEdge was up against other successful products and brands this year, including Fubo Gaming, PrizePicks, and MaximBet. “This exciting recognition from SBC is a testament to the space we have built for sports bettors that caters to the betting experience they are craving,” said Greg Kajewski, Co-Founder of BettorEdge. “We’ll continue to innovate and put the bettor first.” In its first 18 months of operation, BettorEdge has grown to a community of almost 11,000 users, who have bet $40 million in orders collectively.

The platform took off this past March when it saw more than $3 million in orders on NCAA Conference Tournament Basketball games and NCAA Tournament games. Now, BettorEdge users are betting more than $1 million per week. Kajewski and his co-founder, James Seils, incorporated a strong community aspect into the platform. On BettorEdge, users can opt to donate the fee they saved by using BettorEdge to one of the company’s charitable partners. In the first year since launch, about one fourth of users have opted into the donation service, making up a significant portion of a $10,000 donation that was given to Chad Greenway’s Lead the Way Foundation earlier this year. “We’re grateful to have our work building BettorEdge recognized thus far, but we have far bigger plans in store,” said James Seils, Co-Founder of BettorEdge. “We are clearly fulfilling a need in the marketplace. Keep your eye on BettorEdge for more exciting features and opportunities to bet on the sports you love.” About BettorEdge BettorEdge was founded in 2019 following a University of Minnesota SportRadar Innovation Challenge. Iowa native founders, now Minnesota residents, had a vision of creating a more efficient sports betting marketplace that offered a better fan experience at no fee to the consumer within the US.

Fellaz Paves the Way for Web3 Entertainment Platform for Major K-pop Artists, Influencers, and Fans

Fellaz

Fellaz, a multi-chain Web3 entertainment ecosystem, announces the upcoming launch of their social media platform for artists and their fanbases. Through months of preparation, the Fellaz team has onboarded notable entertainers and pop stars from Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and the rest of the world. In preparation for their launch, the Fellaz team held an exclusive opening event, ‘Fellaz by the bay’ on July 14th at Sentosa Island, Singapore. The platform’s Chief Producer, Felix (BAYC#8169) hosted the event and many notable investors and companies including Binance, Warner Music Group, Rakuten, GS Ventures, IDEG, JAB Consumer Fund, Norge’s Bank, Krust, Republik, Le Freeport, Coin Hakko and more were in attendance. The event revealed several famous K-pop stars, whose combined fanbases top several million. The event also showcased ‘Uptown Boy’, an original song co-produced by Fantagio and performed by Miu, Fellaz’s first metaverse-native K-pop idol. Lastly, the event coordinators held an auction for exclusive Fellaz merch to support a local cause in Singapore. Fellaz has the ambitious mission of defining and paving the way for a Web3 entertainment ecosystem. The project will help users from the entertainment industry transition from Web2 to Web3 through a Web3-native infrastructure. Fellaz hopes to empower influencers, artists, and fans by providing them the tools to monetize their potential instead of using traditional Web2 platforms that rely on (and sometimes exploit) these fan communities for revenue. In this new environment, artists and users will have shared ownership over their creations and derivations in the form of immutable NFTs stored on the blockchain. The platform will use a metrics-based compensation system to determine fan participation and contribution. This will lead to an incentivized and sustained fanbase, furthering the artist's reputation. Fellaz’s decentralized social media platform will feature individual feeds where artists can post images, videos, and audio recordings for their fanbases. Fans can comment, like, mirror (repost), and interact with their favorite artists. They can also purchase subscriptions, which give them access to premium content and platform-native NFTs called Lightsticks. Fans can gain experience points or XP, and level up their collection of Lightsticks by engaging in a set of actions that show their support. Since Fellaz is a S2E or support-to-earn platform, fans who level up their lightsticks will earn more $FLZ as they interact with their favorite artists. Fellaz is also a C2E or create-to-earn platform allowing artists to earn $FLZ by engaging their fanbase and subscribers with original and premium content. Fellaz also plans on expanding its platform through a proprietary blockchain ticketing solution for both IRL and metaverse concerts, fan meetings, and other related events in entertainment and sports. In addition, Fellaz will be launching priority minting access to NFTs of their metaverse-native stars, limited-edition goods, exclusive airdrops from partners, a live chat feature, personalized NFTs for fanbases, and a leaderboard to rank artists much like Billboard does with music artists. Bobby Bhatia, CEO of Fellaz, commented, “We look forward to starting our journey in the Web3 entertainment space and will do our best to nurture and cultivate a vibrant community of artists, influencers, and fans.” About Fellaz Based in Singapore, Fellaz is a multi-chain Web3 entertainment ecosystem providing content production and distribution for the metaverse, an NFT solution for artists, and a decentralized fandom community infrastructure. Alongside its network of global partners, Fellaz is a one-stop solution and ecosystem designed to help businesses, creators, and fans transition into the Web3 entertainment space by taking the best from the metaverse, decentralization, and NFT blockchain technology and integrating them with original content and Web3 diversification. About Bobby Bhatia Fellaz CEO, Bobby Bhatia, is a seasoned finance and technology professional, mentor, and entrepreneur with over 25 years of public and private investment experience. From FinTech to EdTech to financial services and blockchain technology, Bobby is a pioneer in digitally transforming and disrupting industries to create a more equitable world.

5 Weird But Cool Investment Property Ideas

Benzinga

Investment properties have the potential to bring in substantial funds while also appealing to an owner’s level of financial risk tolerance. These properties are purchased to generate income and are typically not inhabited by the owner. When researching the various investment properties, consider how much time and attention you will be able to commit to their maintenance and oversight. Investment properties allow you to expand your streams of income and create passive income. Examine fun creative investment properties such as haunted houses or houseboats that have the potential to expand your financial freedom at your own pace. 5 Weird But Cool Investment Property Ideas Investment properties are much more than the commonly associated rental homes with white picket fences. For more conventional investment properties, consider working with a property management company to oversee the property in an organized manner. However, if you crave a more creative investment property, contemplate a stream of income that can be both engaging and profitable by investing in weird, but cool options such as haunted houses and art galleries. 1. Tiny Houses Tiny houses are typically more affordable to purchase than larger-sized houses which can make them an attractive option for people interested in buying their first investment property. The market for tiny homes has increased in demand over the years and provides an avenue of opportunity for a creative investor. For example, an interested investor has the ability to craft an entire neighborhood of tiny houses. If such a project sounds too ambitious, consider the convenience of adding a tiny house somewhere on your property and renting it out. A tiny house on your property has the potential to bring in a steady stream of cash flow while remaining convenient and accessible to you in terms of management. Before deciding to build, check the rules for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) within the neighborhood. Interested in owning a tiny house? Get started with an investment property loan. 2. Houseboats and Campers Houseboats and campers have the potential to provide large profit margins during peak rental seasons. Consider popular vacation locations that can help boost the value of your houseboat or camper. For example, houseboats and campers near prime vacation locations or trending tourist locations have the ability to charge over $300 a night. Investing in a rental houseboat or camper can bring in impressive cash flow during peak seasons such as the summer. Keep in mind that houseboats are unlike other investments and usually depreciate in value over time. In general, houseboats and campers have the potential to draw in substantial funds when placed in the right location, properly maintained, and competitively priced. Interested in owning a houseboat? Get started with an investment property loan. 3. Haunted Houses Haunted houses have the capability to bring in a substantial amount of cash during the fall. Think about a prime location to draw in more foot traffic and remain in close proximity to other attractions. It’s possible to have a haunted house more than pay for itself after one impressive haunting season. It’s recommended to maximize the profits earned during the spooky season by giving yourself the longest amount of time possible to attract customers. For example, some horror events and haunted houses open as early as the first week of September. Consider purchasing a house that has an urban legend behind it to add to the notoriety of the property when it comes time to enthrall and scare guests of your haunted house. One main perk of purchasing a house that’s considered haunted is that they are frequently lower in price than the rest of the market. Of course, there might be a few hair-raising surprises along the way at such steep price reductions. Interested in owning a haunted house? Get started with an investment property loan. 4. Bed and Breakfast Bed and Breakfasts remain a growing industry that focuses on serving people that are interested in short-term stays. The beauty of a Bed and Breakfast (B&B) stems from an owner’s ability to make money in a pleasant and comfortable setting by charging individuals that wish to stay the night within the house. B&Bs frequently provide a sense of intimacy and calm in a building that offers a sense of charm. This comparative advantage often allows B&Bs the ability to be easily recognizable and marketed as a unique experience. When researching potential B&Bs, think about specific sights or attractions close to the property, the unique features of the property, and the total number of guests that you are interested in housing at one time. Happy innkeeping! Interested in owning a bed and breakfast? Get started with an investment property loan. 5. Art Gallery If you have a passion for art, consider renting out a thoughtfully purchased and designed space to artists. The art galleries are intended to showcase artistic talent while also bringing in funds. Usually, art gallery owners obtain income by renting out a space to artists, taking a percentage of art sales, and hosting glamorous events such as galas and auctions. An art gallery in many ways is a partnership with an artist so be sure to foster a positive working relationship. One important note to recall when creating an art gallery is the importance of quality space. The gallery space should highlight and attract a specific niche of the massive art world. Keep in mind that galleries have the potential to lose money due to poor marketing or branding. Invest in promoting your brand and image to spread awareness within the local area and garner buzz before you open. Interested in owning an art gallery? Get started with an investment property loan. Increase Your Income with Investment Properties Investment properties have the opportunity to be as fun and creative as you are. One perk of certain investment properties is that they can earn you money while the value of your property steadily increases over time. When purchasing an investment property, contemplate the level of time and effort that you are willing and able to commit to the upkeep and management of the property. For example, haunted houses that mainly operate in the fall will likely have different time and attention requirements than that of a bed and breakfast. Overall, investment properties can provide an alternative source of income in unconventional fashions that have the ability to accommodate a wide range of budgets. Frequently Asked Questions When researching interesting investment properties, combine your creativity with your financial knowledge to select the ideal property. If you have questions about a specific property or deal, consider speaking with a real estate or financial professional. What’s the down payment for an investment property? The general down payment for an investment property tends to vary depending on factors such as a borrower’s credit score and the specific type of rental property. A lower credit score will likely indicate that an individual will need to pay a larger than average down payment. Investment properties already have higher interest rates when compared to other types of real estate so purchasing an investment property with a low credit score might require a substantial down payment at a much higher interest rate. The reason that investment properties usually have increased interest rates stems from the understanding that people are more likely to default on loans for their investment properties before defaulting on a loan associated with their main residence. In terms of minimum down payment, it’s common to put at least 15% down. Keep in mind that putting down larger amounts for the down payment helps lower interest rates and can promote better loan terms. If possible, contemplate placing a down payment of around 20% or more to help lower the interest rates. How many investment properties do you need in order to retire? The amount of investment properties that an individual needs to retire depends on the properties within the local market as well as a person’s expected monthly financial needs. Examine how much you will likely need to obtain on a monthly basis to live. When calculating the number of investment properties that you will need to retire, keep in mind that passive income gained from rental properties generally decreases with standard expenses such as maintenance. In general, the market has no set minimum number of investment properties that a person needs to retire. However, a person can roughly calculate the number of investment properties needed to retire based on cash-on-cash returns compared to expenses.

SPARK Microsystems Teams with UWB Alliance to Test UWB Coexistence

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), and UWB Alliance, an international non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and growth of the UWB industry, have initiated a joint effort to test the coexistence and aggregation capabilities of UWB technology in environments where other UWB or other wireless protocols and radio devices are in use. This first phase includes testing the interoperability and compatibility of a pair of UWB technologies operating in a single environment simultaneously with UWB transceivers from SPARK Microsystems and other industry players. “Generating empirical data through scientific testing is critical for understanding how UWB devices can coexist with other devices,” said Benjamin Rolfe, CTO, UWB Alliance. “The testing we are doing with SPARK Microsystems will enable the industry to progress forward on collaborative coexistence strategies that optimize spectrum sharing while minimizing interference. It will also provide standards-making bodies with factual documentation to aid in amending or modifying spectrum rules, allowing more UWB-enabled solutions to come to market.” Preliminary results of phase one with multiple UWB devices indicate generally good coexistence performance, with the tested devices showing no measurable performance impact from other interfering UWB devices. Testing of multiple devices in aggregation was also conducted. Phase two will expand the coexistence testing to include UWB with U-NII devices in 6 GHz (802.11ax). The full results will become available shortly after the conclusion of the testing. “SPARK Microsystems and UWB Alliance together recognize the importance of coexistence with other wireless devices for widespread market adoption of UWB technology across various markets such as consumer, healthcare, connected cars, smart home and smart factory,” said Frederic Nabki, Co-Founder and CTO, SPARK Microsystems. “We anticipate the results of the testing will educate and inform cross-industry stakeholders on how UWB uses the spectrum in aggregation while coexisting with other radio devices.” About SPARK Microsystems SPARK Microsystems is a fabless semiconductor company that is leading the way towards ultra-low power wireless communications for consumer and IoT-connected devices. With its patented technologies, SPARK Microsystems is bringing to market a high-performance wireless transceiver that allows for orders of magnitude improved power consumption, latency and more accurate ranging and positioning, while providing higher data rates than competing technologies.
