Curio Digital is an NFT platform and exchange focused on digital experiences within the media and entertainment industry.

So why are all the big names digitizing their products lately?

Simply put, this is because NFT has huge potential to help them realize the realization of IP. One of the largest examples we have seen so far is the NBA Top Shot in sports cards. Of course, NFT technology can also be applied to more vertical fields, especially the media and entertainment industry.

Currently, Curio's goal is to become a leading NFT platform serving these mainstream brands and helping them realize IP monetization. What we rely on is our end-to-end platform. Our platform covers the entire process of casting, trading, and integration, and at the same time absorbs a series of players in the Ethereum ecosystem.

We are well positioned to drive mainstream adoption of NFTs. We focus on providing an easy-to-use user onboarding process, especially fiat currency drainage and de-walletization mechanisms. In addition, with our deep network of relationships in the media and entertainment industry, we also cooperate with large mainstream brands to provide a well-curated marketplace for premium content.

Digital collections themselves have also seen tremendous growth over the past few years. Its market size is estimated to have reached approximately US$370 billion, and the growth so far this year alone has achieved a historic breakthrough, and the explosion of NFT has been witnessed globally.

The way we capture value throughout the lifecycle of an NFT is fairly simple. In the beginning, we partnered with major brands to provide guided setup services, and at this point we had a setup process and fee structure. Next, we get a cut of initial product sales, and finally transaction fees from all secondary market activity.

At present, we have established a good cooperative relationship with some mainstream brands - our first brand partner is the popular American drama "American Gods".

We worked directly with the producers of the show, a company called Fremantle Productions.

They were so pleased with our work that we're expanding the physical series to other seasons of American Gods, while also developing NFT collectibles for some of their other titles, including the American Idol and Global Idol franchises right.

We're also working with some graphic novel companies, including Concrete Park and Heavy Metal. We also negotiated contracts with Topps and Universal Music Group.

Our sales channels are primarily focused on large companies in the film and music verticals. We're in discussions with MGM about the James Bond 007 film franchise, as well as possible collaborations with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Metallica, Paul McCartney and the Grateful Dead.

For us, digital collectibles are just a starting point for exploring the NFT space. In the beginning, the digital collection was just a digital version of a physical analog item. We have witnessed its continuous evolution, providing new opportunities and experiences for NFT holders. NFT is like a highly efficient passport, allowing holders to access unique content, experiences, and online activities etc. And after that we entered the third stage, we began to think of NFT as a unique distribution channel that allows content owners to establish a direct relationship with the content consumers themselves.

Our team has a deep network of industry relationships and rich contacts in the circle. Here I will briefly introduce the background of Rikin and Ben. Each of them has more than 20 years of experience in the media and entertainment industry, having worked for such famous companies as WMA, ABC, Universal Pictures and Disney. My professional background is mainly in technology and fintech. My last company was Openfinance, which was the first securities token trading platform in the United States. We promoted the application of blockchain technology in the securities industry.

02 Flame

Hi everyone, I'm Kimmy from Flame. Next, we will introduce our project, Flame, a decentralized NFT casting platform that aims to empower creators in the Web 3.0 era.

Kevin Kelly's famous 1,000 Fans Theory posits that the internet will be the bootstrap for creators to connect with their fans.

In the era of Web 2.0, centralized mainstream platforms dominate the creative market through advertising placement and algorithm push, while taking profits for themselves. So when we look at the financial situation of creators, we find that their lives are very difficult. It is still difficult to realize. It takes a lot of time and effort for creators to recover their compensation. You might even lose your own work. Their work may be deleted or altered without warning. We think now is the time to help creators take back control.

Therefore, we built Flame, a decentralized NFT casting platform, to bring a revolution to original creators in the Web3.0 era. You can think of Flame as Patreon, a decentralized crowdfunding site with established ownership.

In Flame, you can redeem/mint NFT with just one click, and all your works will be safely stored in decentralized storage, and then you can trade your works on Flame's trading market.

Let's experience the whole process. Imagine you're a creator on Flame, and first you'll import your own metadata into Flame — be it visual art, podcasts, articles, or even any kind of work. Then, your work will be stored on IPFS or Filecoin. In order to make the operation more convenient, we will ensure that your work will be automatically matched to the selected high-quality miners we cooperate with when it is uploaded to the chain, so that users will not have to worry about choosing miners themselves. At Flame, you can choose to trade your work directly, or enter a crowdfunding or patronage model—we've got the necessary tools in place for you.

Let's look at the market landscape. Our target is those creators who already have a certain fan base and intend to enter NFT. The current online celebrity market is worth more than $8 billion and is expected to double by 2022. And 45% of them are our target group, they have 5,000 to 100,000 fans.

Our business model is simple. We will have two sources of income. One is the storage fee we charge creators; the other is the service fee, we charge a uniform 3% service fee for all transactions that occur on our platform. We currently do not charge any upfront fees.

We will be launching Flame this September and the Flame token later this year. We also realize that Ethereum’s gas fees are currently extremely high, so we will explore second-layer solutions and add DeFi and social functions by next year. By November 2022, we expect to have at least 3,000 creators on board.

This is our core team. I am mainly responsible for strategy and marketing, and my colleagues Savage and Felix have extensive blockchain and product experience. At present, we have launched some very successful products, keystore, keyPool and Filbox, and these products are very well integrated with the Filecoin ecosystem.

03 Myel

Hi, I'm Alex Camuto from Myel, where we are developing a community-driven content delivery network.

Currently, our team consists of three members. We've known each other since high school, more than a decade now, and we've been collaborating on technology projects for a long time. We became interested in Web 3.0 technologies when Thomas was working at IDEO Colab. We have been working on Ethereum and IPFS since the early days of the project. After that, he worked as a lead engineer at a company funded by Y-Combinator. And I did a PhD in Machine Learning at Oxford University. While Sandra founded her own company in France, she was previously a Product Owner at a leading health tech company in Paris.

The problem we have observed is that there is an urgent market need for decentralized data delivery paired with decentralized storage. The benefits of moving to a decentralized storage environment are clear: you get cheaper storage solutions; you gain resilience to business failures while eliminating centralized points of failure; gain independence. Based on this promise, decentralized storage networks like Filecoin have achieved unprecedented storage capacity. However, accessing data from these networks is really slow, and these networks are not suitable for storing and quickly accessing data.

To this end, Myel provides a hot storage layer on top of the decentralized storage protocol - it allows users to quickly access cached content. And at the heart of Myel is a decentralized content delivery network (CDN) that incentivizes people to deliver content directly to others. This network does not require parties to trust each other for data transfer to take place. On top of that, it also optimizes the distribution of content across the network, really accelerating content delivery. As a user, you get all the benefits of decentralized storage — the privacy Myel offers, cost efficiency, cheap scalable infrastructure, and really fast data delivery.

Next I will quickly explain how Myel works.

An application that pushes content to the web. Our algorithms then spread the content across our peer-to-peer network to ensure optimal content delivery. Every time a node delivers content to another node, it gets paid.

Currently, becoming a node in the Myel network is very simple. You just need to download the Myel app or the Myel command line interface. The interfaces of both are very clean and simple. As soon as you log in, you become a node, part of your hard drive is allocated for content delivery, and you get paid for the service. You can see at a glance what you are serving and what nodes are connected to you on the network. But perhaps most importantly, you can use our app to deploy content to the web in a very simple way. In fact, it's as easy as dragging and dropping a file to deploy to our content delivery network.

Currently, the market for Web 3.0 applications is growing rapidly and will continue to accelerate. Cumulative users in this market are expected to reach 1 billion by 2025. All of these applications, all applications that adhere to the spirit of decentralization, will need a hot storage layer.

To generate revenue, our plan is to take a fee each time these apps transfer data.

Our core strength in this space is that we combine the control, ease of use, and ability to serve all kinds of data—that is, flexibility—of a centralized content delivery network with a decentralized, inexpensive, and scalable infrastructure together. Currently, we are the only team providing this service for the Filecoin ecosystem.

In part, this is why Web 3.0 developers of audio and video streaming apps and Filecoin miners choose to use our CDN. This is of course also because we provide a missing piece of the Web 3.0 stack. The problem right now is that no one can drive large-scale content delivery in a decentralized manner.

Let's say you're developing a Web 3.0 application — such as Fleek, which simplifies the deployment of Web 3.0 applications. You can use Ceramic to manage variable content - such as user IDs. Then you can use our network to provide users with optimal content delivery. Our network is based on Filecoin's hot storage layer, which you can use for cold storage and data backup.

To meet this need, we need to do two things at the same time - guide users in the network; enable developers to easily deploy content on Myel. To accelerate the development of the web, we are building technology on top of robust protocols with thriving communities like IPFS and Filecoin. Includes the command line interface and desktop application shown previously. We also work with Web 3.0 infrastructure customers like Fleek to onboard their users into our peer-to-peer network.

To enable all of the above, we have launched a command line interface on mainnet. We are currently testing content routing and fine-tuning the Myel network for performance optimization. We will release minimal versions of the desktop and web applications for less technical users. Our goal is to integrate with IPFS-enabled browsers like Brave to drive exponential growth of the web by early next year.

Ownership Labs is developing an open data marketplace for personalized service delivery.

Almost every day, you open mobile apps such as Twitter or Amazon to get convenient services. On the one hand, you can’t control how your data is shared or traded; on the other hand, the service matching platform is making huge profits from it and pushing the content to you left and right.

To solve this problem and return data ownership to individuals, we provide data owners with asset templates to define how data is calculated. This way, your personal data is never at the mercy of others, you can always maintain control and choose whether to use it for profit or not. Decentralized applications (DApps) can aggregate authorized data sets, and then record the data consolidation on our ownership contract. On the other hand, the party purchasing the data can directly purchase the aggregated data for calculation.

We completed our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in October 2020. As you can see, data owners can sell data computing rights in the trading market. And buyers can run data analysis through our scientist portal.

Now that the alpha version is live, we have also open sourced the API. Data aggregators such as DApps are able to publish data merges, while data buyers can search the data lifecycle through the data tracker DataTracer.

Our long-term vision is to develop a decentralized service delivery layer. We leverage IPFS and Filecoin to store computational metadata such as user preferences and characteristics of creator services. For example, creators can pay to acquire users, while users retain control over their preference data. To enable mass adoption, we have created a software development kit (SDK) that can be easily plugged into any third-party application. DApps can integrate our SDK and outsource their service matching tasks to global data scientists.

From a competition standpoint, the main competition we face comes from centralized protocols like Kaggle, and decentralized protocols like Ocean Protocol and Numer.ai.

In a nutshell, Ownership demonstrates its advancement in three key features. Users can define their data using asset templates. DApps can create data mergers to aggregate data sets authorized by users. Data scientists can run calculations that aggregate data. We open a flexible API that can be used by both DApp developers and data scientists.

In the short term, we are developing a plugin called DataDiDi as an early use case for our service matching marketplace. Users can manage their personal preferences, follow relevant and interesting DApp content and accumulate encrypted rewards. In this way, DApp can be pushed to more matching audiences.

Now I will introduce our team members. We are a highly technical team with previous victories in many hackathons. Founder Qibing is the champion of the 2020 Wanxiang Blockchain Hackathon. Additionally, we have received funding from the LatticeX Foundation to develop our products.

In terms of development progress, we have achieved the milestone in the first quarter of this year. In the second quarter, we will focus on the development of the Chrome extension DataDiDi and token design.

Atomica, a cross-chain risk liquidity protocol designed to accelerate the organic growth of the Web3 economy.

Atomica's mission is to connect a billion risk pool. At the Atomica DAO team, we envision a world where most people become sovereign individuals. Their income, savings, physical and virtual possessions, are the atomic units of many metaverse economies.

But how do we achieve this goal?

Well, AirBnB cleared the number one stumbling block to organic growth, thanks to the magic of risk transfer as proposed by Marc Andreesen. In the past, most would-be Airbnb hosts refused to join because they feared that their home, like EJ's in San Francisco, would be messed up by guests. Sound familiar? That $50,000 guarantee unlocked growth opportunities for a 10-person startup that reshaped the hospitality industry. This is the magic of insurance and risk transfer.

Like Marc Andreesen, Atomica has partnered with protocols like Filecoin and DeFi DAOs to remove roadblocks that hinder organic growth. To make it inevitable, we need low-cost security networks. How do we do this?

very simple. By maximizing the amount of uncorrelated risk, Atomica will make security cheap and yield high for liquidity providers. Our first stop is the demand side in a DeFi-centric economy.

Defi is woefully underinsured. It is estimated that only 0.2% of DeFi GDP is secured. By comparison, insurance premiums range from 7-19% of GDP in advanced economies around the world.

DeFi insurance faces three major challenges today: very expensive, difficult to obtain, and often queued up by institutional buyers. Why is this so? Only two tokens support risk pools. Then it's up to the human to decide where to list and how much to pay for the premium. And the user experience is terrible, it is not integrated with the interface for users to make DeFi deposits. You have to be insured long term, paying up front as an end user. Capital pools need to be converted into project tokens, and the capital inefficient reserve model drives up prices and reduces yields.

Investors focused on DeFi risk would agree. What if such a solution were available today?

So, let's look at Atomica DAO. Imagine what an insurance cross-chain balancer would look like. Let me tell you what a difference it can make.

Instead of risking ETH and DAI as collateral assets, you can stake any ERC20 token on Amotica to earn yield. It is not so much people setting the price as it is the supply and demand forces of the market that are setting the price premium.

Instead of waiting months for a new insurance product, you can launch a new product in an hour, or list your agreement in 15 minutes.

Policyholders can pay as they go. As a liquidity provider, you can get benefits on a first-come, first-served basis.

At the platform level, as a liquidity provider, since Atomica allows LPs to choose a pool that provides their favorite leverage, why should they choose a single leverage and yield?

As a liquidity provider, you can now deploy capital and choose your own yield based on your risk appetite, rather than taking all or none of the risk. As a protocol, you can guide needy objects in the network by offering cheap or even free insurance to users.

For the first time, Atomica enables capital to enter venture markets from anywhere, even off-chain. This really opens the door for protocol vaults and institutional LPs to participate in the DeFi risk market.

Overall: Taken together, Atomica solves the most pressing problems of DeFi insurance. Want to see what it's like?

Please see. We are using the Rinkeby testnet while we await our audit. This is the result of two years of research and development, and on this page, you can learn how to buy a policy.

On this page, you can provide liquidity to any pool and any risk market.

Finally, you can launch your own insurance marketplace here. For example, what if you visit Atomica and no insurance applies to your brand new farm on Binance, or your favorite project on Polkadot? You can launch your own insurance marketplace here, we welcome you more than that! As you can see, all the complexities of structured finance and the magic of risk transfer have been removed from the user interface.

For example, we are preparing two Filecoin marketplaces. A $100M SLA (our goal) will protect Filecoin customers from all major concerns and risks such as network failure, lost or inaccessible files, failure of Miner X project participants, extreme slashing, etc. all aspects.

Insured Filecoin Mining Pool (our second application) allows anyone to mine Filecoin for block rewards while providing insurance against data center operator fraud.

This is ATOMICA's token. Staking ATOMICA tokens provides a layer of security against losses caused by the Atomica contract and protects all users of the protocol.

In exchange for the risk associated with staking ATOMICA tokens, liquidity providers can unlock PRO risk pools and functionality. Policy buyers receive premium discounts. Distribution partners earn a percentage of premiums.

We invite everyone to participate in the incentivized testnet and the birth of the Atomica DAO mainnet.

Before Atomica, our team has founded companies in 7 countries, grown from 0 to 400 team members, invested in parametric insurance startups, developed proof-of-concept for insurance giants, and provided DeFi DAO Interim risk team, and partnered with Etherisc to launch the first Ethereum-based aircraft delay parametric insurance.

Thank you for your participation. Welcome to contact us if you want to join us.
