1 min. read

Rocky Rabbit, a tap-to-earn game on Telegram, is gearing up for the launch of its RabBitcoin (RBTC) token on The Open Network. The latest addition to the game is the Battle mode, a key milestone on the roadmap to the airdrop. Despite its colosseum-like theme, the Battle mode is actually a game of chance where players enter a betting pool and watch a roulette wheel determine the winner. The game offers three venues with varying bet ranges, but the gameplay is primarily centered around menu taps rather than combat. Players can earn in-game coins through the Battle mode before the RBTC token launch. Additionally, the app teases upcoming mini-games RocQ and Magic Rabbit. To access the Battle mode, players need a Game Pass obtained through a special code. The RBTC token is scheduled to launch on TON on September 23, coinciding with a series of major Telegram game token drops.

Berachain: A Potential Competitor to Solana

Wednesday. September 18 at 11:00 PM

Berachain, a prominent topic at Token 2049 in Singapore, has the potential to emerge as a strong rival to Solana. Marketed as a high-performance layer-1 blockchain, Berachain aims to enhance security by converting liquidity using its unique proof-of-liquidity (POL) consensus mechanism. While many focus on altcoins like XRP surpassing ETH, some believe that Berachain's upcoming token (BERA) could pose a significant challenge to Ether. Framework Ventures' co-founder, Vance Spencer, sees BERA as a potential major competitor to Ether. Solana has experienced a downtrend in price for over five months, raising concerns of further decline against Bitcoin. Despite this, the industry anticipates the launch of Berachain's mainnet by the end of 2024. The introduction of Bera token, currently on testnet, will play a crucial role in the network's operations. Spencer highlights Berachain's economic alignment and POL consensus mechanism as key factors that could attract attention to the token. While some remain cautious due to recent market trends, others like Michaël van de Poppe foresee a positive rally for cryptocurrencies and commodities.

The Importance of Integrating Blockchain with Artificial Intelligence

Wednesday. September 18 at 10:00 PM

During an interview with Cointelegraph at Token2049, Michael Heinrich, the CEO of 0G Labs, emphasized the risks associated with artificial intelligence when not combined with blockchain technology. Heinrich expressed concerns about the reliance on centralized AI systems and advocated for decentralized governance to prevent potential misuse in critical societal areas. He highlighted blockchain's capability to enhance transparency and accountability in AI systems, enabling independent verification of their actions. This transparency could prevent unchecked decisions in logistics and other automated sectors. Heinrich also warned about the dangers of centralized AI systems evolving into self-governing entities without the governance provided by blockchain. 0G Labs recently secured $35 million in funding to develop an onchain AI solution, with a focus on building a full-stack blockchain AI platform. Heinrich emphasized the importance of blockchain in creating abundance within the system. The integration of blockchain with AI is crucial for ensuring responsible and transparent decision-making processes.
