Building an awesome editor for your React-based web application is by no means easy. But with things get much easier. Even with the help of Slate, building a full-featured editor is way more work than we can cover in one blog post, so this post will give you the big picture and subsequent posts will dive into the dirty details. SlateJS Note: this post is based on a recent talk at the JavaScript NYC meetup. You can watch the video here: SlateJS We're building , a new, fast, and highly collaborative alternative to issue trackers like Jira, Trello, and Clubhouse. We're big believers in remote work, and in particular working asynchronously so that team members get large, uninterrupted blocks of time to get work done. A key to supporting this type of work is having a really great editor so that teams are inspired to collaborate together on issues and ensure alignment. And we think we've got the best editor around: Kitemaker Markdown shortcuts, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, embedding designs from , math expressions with LaTex, diagrams with , and, of course, emojis ♥️. All done entirely with Slate. Figma MermaidJS So why did we choose to go with Slate in the first place? It's definitely not the only editor framework out there. For us, the things that pushed us towards Slate were: It's un-opinionated about how your document is structured, and that gave us the flexibility we needed It doesn't force any built-in toolbars or any other visuals upon you It's built with React in mind and that makes a huge difference when rendering complex documents It lays the foundation for collaborative editing which is something we believe is important for Kitemaker We really like the philosophy behind it It has a thriving community, particularly on Slack How Slate represents documents One of the best parts of Slate is how it holds very few opinions about how documents are structured. It has only a few concepts: Editor - the top level container of your document Block level elements - the domain-specific "chunks" that make up your documents, like paragraphs, code blocks and lists. These are the things you can draw horizontal lines between in your document Inline elements - special elements that flow inline with the text of your document, like links Text nodes - these contain the actual text in the document Marks - annotations placed on the text, such as marking text as bold or italic Astute readers will notice that this is structured very similar to the DOM, and text, block and inlines in Slate behave very much like their counterparts in the DOM. Here's an annotated screenshot of a Slate editor to explain these concepts visually: Slate uses a very simple JSON format for representing documents, and the document above would look like this in Slate's representation: [
 { : , : [
 { : },
 { : , : , : [
 { : }
 ]
 },
 { : }
 ]
 },
 { : , : [
 { : },
 { : , : },
 { : },
 { : , : },
 { : }
 ]
 }
] "type" "paragraph" "children" "text" "Text with a link " "type" "link" "url" "https://kitemaker.co" "children" "text" "https://kitemaker.co" "text" " here" "type" "paragraph" "children" "text" "Text with " "text" "bold" "bold" true "text" " and " "text" "italic" "italic" true "text" " here" As we said before, Slate is really un-opinionated about how documents are structured. In the JSON blob above, the only thing Slate cares about is that it gets an array of block elements with a property and that those children are either other block elements, or a mixture of text nodes and inline elements. That's it. Slate doesn't care about the , or properties and it doesn't care about how these various nodes will be rendered. This makes it really flexible and powerful to work with. children type url bold Hello world editor Enough background. Let's look at some code! Let's see what a simple editor component looks like using Slate: { editor = useMemo( withReact(createEditor()), []); [value, setValue] = React.useState<Node[]>([
 { : [{ : }],
 },
 ]); ( <Editable /> );
} ( ) function MyEditor const => () const children text 'Testing' return setValue(v)}> < = = = => Slate editor {editor} value {value} onChange {(v) </ > Slate And that's it. That's an entire working component with Slate! We use to make ourselves an editor (don't worry about for now - that's a plugin, which we'll discuss below) createEditor() withReact() We make a simple array of nodes to store the document (just like we looked at above) We instantiate a component which serves as a context provider, providing the editor we created above to all of the components below it. This is really cool because you can, for example, add toolbars and other components below the component that can grab the editor and manipulate the document with it. We also wire up the and properties, similar to any input in React <Slate> <Slate> value onChange We add an component which is the actual editor the user interacts with on the screen <Editable> Boring. How do we extend things? So while that previous example was trivial to write, we still only have an editor that works about as well as . Not very exciting. <TextArea> Luckily Slate provides mechanisms for making things a whole lot more interesting: plugins allow us to override the core behavior of the editor. They're not concerned with rendering, just with overriding what happens when (for example) text is inserted, or an image is dropped Plugins: allow us to handle things like key presses, so we can add hotkeys or allow pressing 'tab' to indent a bulleted list Event handlers: with Slate we can specify exactly how each and every node in our document should be rendered using React Custom rendering with React: Let's take a quick look at each of these. Plugins Plugins are a deceptively simple, powerful concept in Slate. Plugins generally look something like this: { { insertText, insertData, normalizeNode, isVoid, isInline } = editor; editor.insertText = { insertText(text);
 }; editor.insertData = { insertData(data);
 }; editor.normalizeNode = { normalizeNode(entry);
 }; editor.isVoid = { (element.type === ) { ;
 } isVoid(element);
 }; editor.isInline = { (element.type === ) { ;
 } isInline(element);
 }; editor;
 } export ( ) function withMyPlugin editor: ReactEditor const // called whenever text is inserted into the document (e.g. when // the user types something) ( ) => text // do something interesting! // called when the users pastes or drags things into the editor ( ) => data // do something interesting! // we'll dedicate a whole post to this one, but the gist is that it's used // to enforce your own custom schema to the document JSON ( ) => entry // do something interesting! // tells slate that certain nodes don't have any text content (they're _void_) // super handy for stuff like images and diagrams ( ) => element if 'image' return true return // tells slate that certain nodes are inline and should flow with text, like // the link in our example above ( ) => element if 'link' return true return return By convention, their names start with . They take a Slate editor, override whatever functions they need to override and return the modified editor back. Very often, they handle a few cases in some of these functions and fall back to the default behavior for the rest. about 80% of adding functionality to a Slate editor is doing string matching in these plugin functions and then manipulate the document using Slate's rich API. with Spoiler alert: There are more functions you can override than the ones shown above, but these are the most common by far. You can read all about plugins in . Slate's documentation One of the most powerful parts of Slate plugins is that they can be composed together. Each plugin can look for the things it cares about and pass everything else along unmodified. Then you can compose multiple plugins together and get an even more powerful editor: { editor = useMemo( withReact(withDragAndDrop(withMarkdownShortcuts(withEmojis(withReact(createEditor())))), []);
 ...
} ( ) function MyEditor const => () Event handlers Like many React input components, the component has a bunch of events to which you can listen. We don't have time to go through them all here, but we'll mention the one we use most often: <Editable> onKeyDown() By handling this event, we can do all sorts of powerful things in our editor, like adding hotkeys for example: <Editable
 onKeyDown={(e) => { (e.metaKey && e.key === ) {
 e.preventDefault();
 Editor.addMark(editor, , );
 }
 }}
 ...
/> // let's make the current text bold if the user holds command and hits "b" if 'b' 'bold' true We use key down events in Kitemaker: everywhere Nesting and un-nesting lists when tab is pressed Breaking out of lists and code blocks when enter (or in some cases backspace) is pressed Splitting blocks (e.g. headlines) when enter is pressed in the middle of a block And many many more Custom rendering with React Slate has no opinions on how your blocks and inlines should look on the screen. By default, it just shoves all blocks into plain elements and all inlines into plain elements, but that's pretty dull. <div> To override Slate's default behavior, all we need to do is pass a function into the component's property: <Editable> renderElement <Editable
 renderElement={({ element, attributes, children }) => { (element.type) { : ; : ; : ;
 }
 }}
/> switch case 'code' return {children} < { }> pre ...attributes </ > pre case 'link' return {children} < = { }> a href {element.url} ...attributes </ > a default return {children} < { }> div ...attributes </ > div All this code is doing is looking for the property on a node and picking a different rendering path based on that. Remember, as we said before, Slate doesn't care about these properties, only do. So while the convention is to use to denote the type of a node, nothing is forcing you to do so. You can also add all sorts of other properties to your components that help with the rendering (like the url property we saw on links above). type we type The things returned from just need to be React components. What they look like and their complexity is entirely up to you. Here we're returning a simple element to denote a code block, but nothing is stopping us from returning a full blown component that supports syntax highlighting (like we do in Kitemaker). renderElement <pre> <Code> There's only one important thing to remember when implementing your own rendering - always spread the parameter as properties on the topmost component you're returning. If you don't, Slate won't be able to do its own internal bookkeeping and things will go very badly for you. attributes This has been a super quick introduction to custom rendering, so don't worry if you don't fully grasp it yet. What's tricky in Slate? You've now seen some of the basics of Slate, so you're ready to start experimenting. We thought we'd warn you a little about some of the pitfalls and tricky parts of working with Slate so you'll see them coming and not get discouraged: copying and pasting on the web is a mess. We'll dedicate a whole post to how we handle this in Kitemaker. Short version is that to test our own "paste logic", we have made a somewhat complex document in a bunch of popular web editors Google docs, Notion, Dropbox Paper, Quip, etc. Copying and pasting: by default, Slate doesn't support undo/redo. It does however come with a plugin called that provides this functionality. However, we've found that this doesn't provide the exact user experience we're looking for and so we've had to extend it ourselves History: useHistory() dealing with things that pop up and need to be positioned correctly (like what you see in the Kitemaker editor above when "/" is typed to insert a block or "@" is typed to mention a user) can be pretty tricky Hovers/floating menus: Kitemaker is a product with a ton of hotkeys for everything (we want our users to be able to use it without lifting their hands off the keys) but sometimes there have been some challenges with the key handling in Slate "fighting" with our hotkeys Key handling: Slate's API is quite extensive and we haven't even begun to touch on it in this post. There are many, many functions for manipulating the document (adding nodes, removing nodes, splitting nodes, wrapping nodes, adding text, deleting words, etc.) and it's not always totally obvious which API to use in which situation Big API surface: we've had complaints from users using MBPs and also things like pen inputs for writing Japanese. There's a to fix some strange behaviors so hopefully it'll be fixed soon 🤞 Some wonkiness with input methods like the Macbook Pro touch bar: PR open We'll cover some of these advanced topics in our subsequent posts. And a brief word of warning While we've been very happy with Slate so far, there are a few warnings that any team embarking on building their own editor should be aware of: Like any open source project, progress on Slate comes in waves. While there was a huge rewrite last year and things moved really quickly, progress has now slowed down considerably. There are lots of open issues and open PRs. We hope we can do our share to improve this going forward, but the community could use more support After the rewrite last year, the documentation hasn't quite gotten back to the standard it was before the rewrite. There's a fair amount of stubbed-out documentation that lacks the details required by developers who are just getting started with the project. We've submitted some changes to improve this, but more work is needed Slate is not properly supported on Android. Fortunately, there was a to fix this. Awesome! 🤙 Kickstarter project funded More to come! We hope this served as a nice high level introduction to Slate for you and gave you some of the information you need about whether or not to give Slate a try. There is way way way too much material to cover in a single post, but there will be a number of posts that follow that dig into some of the more complex topics. Thanks for reading!

INX, a marketplace known for its regulated trading of security tokens and tokenized real-world assets, has joined forces with Backed, a pioneer in asset tokenization, to bring a wider array of stocks into the digital realm. Building on the success of their tokenized Nvidia stock, INX and Backed have now introduced a fresh lineup of digital assets to their platform. Eligible investors outside the United States can now trade tokenized versions of some of the most sought-after stocks in the market: Tesla, Microsoft, Google, and even the much-discussed GameStop. New Listings The new tokenized stocks available on the INX platform include: Tesla (bTSLA)


Microsoft (bMSFT)


Google (bGOOGL)


GameStop (bGME) These assets are created under EU securities laws and tokenized on the Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) network. Each token is backed one-to-one by its corresponding underlying stock, with ownership conveyed through the blockchain ledger. But what exactly are these tokenized stocks? Imagine taking a traditional share and giving it a digital makeover. These new assets, created under EU securities laws and brought to life on the Polygon Proof of Stake network, represent a one-to-one relationship with their underlying stocks. It's as if each share has been given a unique digital twin, with ownership recorded on a blockchain ledger instead of traditional books. The expansion doesn't stop there. INX has its sights set on even broader horizons. In the coming weeks, they plan to unveil their first tokenized ETF – a digital version of the S&P 500 ETF. Alongside this landmark addition, tokenized Apple stock and BlackRock's iShares Treasury ETF are also slated to join the roster. It's a move that signals a growing bridge between the worlds of traditional finance and digital assets. What makes these tokenized stocks stand out? For starters, they offer a level of flexibility that traditional stocks can't match. Imagine being able to trade your favorite stocks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Or picture holding your stocks not in a brokerage account, but directly in your own digital wallet. These tokens even open doors to the world of decentralized finance, potentially serving as collateral for loans or other innovative financial products. Of course, with innovation comes the need for robust safeguards. Backed has ensured that these tokenized assets are issued under an EU prospectus, providing a layer of transparency for eligible investors. The underlying value is secured with a licensed custodian, and token holders have primary claims to this collateral. It's a blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional financial security. For now, this digital stock revolution is accessible to non-US residents and approved customers on the INX platform. Interested investors can dive in by creating an account and completing the necessary checks. What's particularly intriguing is the ability to fund these investments with cryptocurrency, further blurring the lines between traditional and digital finance. As we witness this merger of Wall Street and the blockchain, questions naturally arise. Could this be the future of stock trading? Will we see a day when all stocks have digital counterparts? While it's too early to say for certain, one thing is clear: the financial landscape is changing. Traditional assets are finding new homes on digital ledgers, potentially opening up global markets in unprecedented ways. This expansion of tokenized stocks represents more than just a new investment option. It's a glimpse into a possible future where financial assets move freely across digital platforms, where trading hours are a thing of the past, and where the average investor has more direct control over their assets than ever before. As the dust settles on this latest development, the financial world watches with bated breath. Will this be the spark that ignites a wider adoption of tokenized assets? Only time will tell. But for now, it's clear that the lines between traditional finance and the digital frontier are becoming increasingly blurred, potentially reshaping how we think about investing in the digital age.

INX and Backed Add New Tokenized Stocks to Trading Platform

PALO ALTO, United States, October 17th, 2024/Chainwire/--Mysten Labs, the web3 infrastructure company, today announced that following a successful Devnet, Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage network, has launched its public Testnet. Walrus Protocol stores and delivers large data files, including rich media content, audio files, video, images, PDFs and more, from any web2 or web3-based source. These large files, known as blobs, are stored quickly and efficiently by Walrus, whose storage is resilient, scalable, programmable, and secure. Walrus’s public Testnet, and its Testnet token, WAL, are served by Sui as the coordination layer. Sui provides a dedicated management architecture for Walrus to store its global state and metadata offering speedy consensus, composability, and the opportunity to integrate storage into smart contracts on Sui. Walrus’s Testnet launch will include: API endpoints that support deletable blobs, meaning data can be deleted.
Dedicated Walrus explorer, allowing users to search data quickly and comprehensively, built by Stakestab Inc, maker of Suiscan & Blockberry API Platform.
Full tokenomics ecosystem for the Walrus token, WAL, including epoch management, staking and unstaking, and rewards, as well as the WAL token faucet for developers.
WAL staking app, developed by Mysten Labs. “As blockchain projects aim to become more decentralized, it has been apparent for quite some time that a decentralized storage network was needed for networks of all kinds, L1s and L2s, to support end-user applications with rich media and larger storage needs,” said George Danezis, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder at Mysten Labs. “Walrus Testnet going live is a pivotal moment in that journey. With Akord and Decrypt beginning the migration over to Walrus, we’ll begin to see that a decentralized storage network can be used to bring various applications to a mass audience.” Coinciding with the launch of Walrus’s public Testnet, Akord, a secure storage and collaboration platform, providing user-friendly, cost-effective, and decentralized storage solutions for any digital asset, announces its migration from Arweave to Walrus. Akord is set to migrate to Walrus within the next week. The move comes on the heels of Decrypt Media’s recent announcement of its plans to integrate with Walrus, making the publication the first media outlet to commit to storing media articles and video content on Walrus. "At Akord, our mission is to create a platform that empowers individuals and businesses with meaningful data ownership – the ability to secure data publicly and tokenize it, or store it privately with end-to-end encryption, controlling the keys and access," said Pascal Barry, CEO of Akord. "Migrating to Walrus allows us to offer our existing customers a more cost-effective, versatile and performant solution, as well as giving us the opportunity to realize our mission at a much larger scale.” Powered by a system that divides large data files into smaller fragments, referred to as ‘Red Stuff,’ Walrus distributes slivers of data files across various storage nodes.

This approach reduces the need for data redundancy, allowing the network to grow seamlessly while ensuring fast and reliable access to data.

PALO ALTO, United States, October 17th, 2024/Chainwire/--Mysten Labs, the web3 infrastructure company, today announced that following a successful Devnet, Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage network, has launched its public Testnet. Walrus Protocol stores and delivers large data files, including rich media content, audio files, video, images, PDFs and more, from any web2 or web3-based source. These large files, known as blobs, are stored quickly and efficiently by Walrus, whose storage is resilient, scalable, programmable, and secure. Walrus’s public Testnet, and its Testnet token, WAL, are served by Sui as the coordination layer. Sui provides a dedicated management architecture for Walrus to store its global state and metadata offering speedy consensus, composability, and the opportunity to integrate storage into smart contracts on Sui. Walrus’s Testnet launch will include: API endpoints that support deletable blobs, meaning data can be deleted. Dedicated Walrus explorer, allowing users to search data quickly and comprehensively, built by Stakestab Inc, maker of Suiscan & Blockberry API Platform. Full tokenomics ecosystem for the Walrus token, WAL, including epoch management, staking and unstaking, and rewards, as well as the WAL token faucet for developers. WAL staking app, developed by Mysten Labs. API endpoints that support deletable blobs, meaning data can be deleted.

With Akord and Decrypt beginning the migration over to Walrus, we’ll begin to see that a decentralized storage network can be used to bring various applications to a mass audience.” “As blockchain projects aim to become more decentralized, it has been apparent for quite some time that a decentralized storage network was needed for networks of all kinds, L1s and L2s, to support end-user applications with rich media and larger storage needs,” said George Danezis, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder at Mysten Labs. “Walrus Testnet going live is a pivotal moment in that journey.

Akord is set to migrate to Walrus within the next week. The move comes on the heels of Decrypt Media’s recent announcement of its plans to integrate with Walrus, making the publication the first media outlet to commit to storing media articles and video content on Walrus. "At Akord, our mission is to create a platform that empowers individuals and businesses with meaningful data ownership – the ability to secure data publicly and tokenize it, or store it privately with end-to-end encryption, controlling the keys and access," said Pascal Barry, CEO of Akord. "Migrating to Walrus allows us to offer our existing customers a more cost-effective, versatile and performant solution, as well as giving us the opportunity to realize our mission at a much larger scale.” "At Akord, our mission is to create a platform that empowers individuals and businesses with meaningful data ownership – the ability to secure data publicly and tokenize it, or store it privately with end-to-end encryption, controlling the keys and access," said Pascal Barry, CEO of Akord.

A hotel and residence complex, powered by Miracle Estate’s cutting-edge utility NFT strategy, is set to revolutionize real estate investment in Northern Cyprus. Investors who purchase NFTs from the Phoenic Hera project will be able to track their returns from the hotel’s income and its facilities in real time via the Miracle app, all while enjoying a stay at the hotel and benefiting from the project’s many additional amenities. The project is slated for completion in 2027, with groundbreaking scheduled for October 11th. The highly anticipated groundbreaking ceremony for the new hotel and residence complex, Phoenic Hera, in Northern Cyprus took place on Friday, October 11th. Miracle Estate, a subsidiary of Miracle Technologies Group, which develops asset-backed blockchain projects, decentralized finance solutions, and mobile POS technologies, has laid the foundation for its new hotel and real estate project, Phoenic Hera, powered by blockchain and advanced technological infrastructure. The real estate project, which will feature a hotel and residence complex, will be located in Northern Cyprus, just 50 minutes from the airport and 60 minutes from two major city centers. Investors who purchase NFTs to participate in the project will enjoy free stays throughout the year and access to all hotel amenities. They will also earn rewards from the hotel’s operations, trade their NFTs, and acquire Phoenic Token, the native token of the Miracle ecosystem. As part of the project, Miracle Estate plans to invest a portion of its revenue into Phoenic Token to enhance the benefits for NFT holders. Located in one of the most valuable investment areas The complex will be built in the heart of a region that has been consistently recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the most valuable investment areas in Northern Cyprus since 2021. As part of the Phoenic Token strategy, the project offers a cost-effective alternative to the rising housing prices and shrinking real estate investment opportunities in the area. The groundbreaking ceremony, held on Friday, October 11th, marked the official start of the project. “We are breaking new ground in both the physical and digital worlds,” said Hakan Törehan, CEO of Miracle Cash & More. “By converting our hotel and real estate project in Northern Cyprus into blockchain-based Utility NFTs, we offer investors comprehensive benefits. Those who acquire Utility NFTs from the hotel project will also become Phoenic Token holders, investing in this growing ecosystem and gaining usage rights in both the hotel and residence projects.” Phoenic Token is more than just a token. It is the fuel behind groundbreaking projects like this one. As part of the Phoenic ecosystem, it powers a new generation of digital currencies and asset-backed investments, allowing holders to tap into unique ventures and strengthen their positions in the evolving market. “Turning real-world assets into Utility NFTs in the real estate sector” The construction process for the project, which is expected to generate $600 million in benefits, is planned to be completed within three years. Hakan Törehan shared, “Once the project is complete, investors will be able to enjoy all the services of this hotel complex for free every year. They will track their reward streams in real time through the Miracle App, and thanks to the financing provided by products like Node, Leveller, and Exchange, which power the Miracle ecosystem, investors can make real estate investments at more advantageous prices. Miracle Technologies Group will also invest in Phoenic Token, a utility token. This groundbreaking ceremony is the strongest proof that we are playing a pioneering role in the intersection of the real estate and blockchain sectors, transforming real-world assets into Utility NFTs.” Hakan Törehan, CEO of Miracle Cash & More. also emphasized that Miracle Estate is the real estate and tourism-focused subsidiary of Miracle Technologies Group, a global leader in blockchain technologies. Törehan concluded his remarks by stating: “In May 2024, we announced that we would launch a blockchain-based hotel and real estate project in Northern Cyprus, a region known for its real estate and tourism projects. With the groundbreaking ceremony in the first days of the fourth quarter of the year, we reinforced our belief that projects capable of overcoming regional and cyclical challenges can emerge from the intersection of traditional sectors and new technologies. Phoenic Token, which is not an ordinary utility token, powers unique projects across the Miracle Technologies ecosystem and can be accessed via various exchanges. Investors who purchase the Phoenic Hera Hotel NFT can easily benefit from the project, including the option to acquire additional Phoenic Tokens.” For more information about Phoenic Hera, visit www.phoenichera.com This story was distributed as a release by Btcwire under HackerNoon’s Business Blogging Program.

HONG KONG, Hong Kong, October 4th, 2024/Chainwire/--Moongate Protocol, an attention asset protocol disrupting the $1 trillion-plus attention economy, announces significant milestones in its expansion, the launch of its Moon Odyssey community points program, and the upcoming release of its first NFT collection, the Moongate Voyager Pass. “Moongate Protocol is an attention asset protocol revolutionizing brand-consumer engagement,” says Jonathan Mui, Founder and CEO of Moongate. Since securing a $2.7 million seed funding round earlier this year, Moongate has rapidly expanded its reach, growing the number of platform creators to over 3,500, who together have issued more than 4,500 smart token campaigns across over 40 countries. Many prominent global brands have adopted the protocol, including Binance, OKX, ComplexCon, TOKEN2049, and Wonderfruit. Overall, Moongate has facilitated over 20 million interactions among more than 1 million end-users. Building on this momentum, Moongate recently took the on-chain questing phenomenon offline with its newly developed MoonQuest platform, which it unveiled through a partnership with TOKEN2049 Singapore, the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference. By designing interactive quests throughout the TOKEN2049 venue and utilizing smart tokens to reward attendees for their participation, Moongate delivered immersive and engaging experiences while introducing many Web2 users to Web3. The activation drew in over 1,500 participants who completed more than 6,000 quests over two days, demonstrating the effectiveness of smart tokens in large-scale events. Users can learn more about Moongate's funding success here. Expected Token Generation Event and Earning Opportunities Amidst its rapid growth, there are talks of an upcoming Token Generation Event slated in the coming months. While official details are yet to be announced, speculation suggests that the event could offer new avenues for users to engage with Moongate's ecosystem. In anticipation, Moongate has launched Moon Odyssey, a community points program where participants can earn points by completing social tasks and checking into the platform daily. These points will contribute to future rewards, potentially tied to the upcoming TGE. Adding to this excitement, Moongate is also introducing its first NFT collection—the Moongate Voyager Pass. The limited collection of 6,969 NFTs will offer various benefits, with a primary feature being a guaranteed airdrop. The Moongate Voyager Pass is set to launch on October 21 this year on the OKX NFT Launchpad. Official news regarding the launch is available on its website: https://app.moongate.id/quest. About Moongate Moongate is an attention asset protocol disrupting the $1T+ attention economy. The protocol consists of two key layers—a utility layer for brands to issue smart token campaigns for real-world engagement, and a data layer where such on-chain engagement data are monetized at scale by key stakeholders. Moongate aims to disintermediate centralized platforms to maximize brand-consumer value. It also introduces an innovative “engage-to-earn” mechanism that promotes active consumer participation for brand rewards and a share of $MGT emission.

A Game Like No Other Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the Meme Alliance game offers players an immersive, high-quality gaming experience, combining stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and the distinctive humor of the meme culture. The game is designed to unite memecoin communities, creating an ecosystem where iconic characters such as Pepe, Shiba Inu, Volt Inu, Dogelon Mars, and many more, battle for supremacy in a fast-paced, thrilling FPS environment.  Players can form alliances, represent their favorite memecoins, and earn rewards through their in-game achievements. Meme Alliance goes beyond the standard gaming experience by providing unique features like on-chain integration, a marketplace for in-game assets, and the ability to earn multiple tokens. This Play-to-Earn (P2E) structure allows players to monetize their skills while contributing to their community's success. Partnership with Immutable: A Game-Changing Move Meme Alliance’s official partnership with Immutable, a leading name in the Web3 gaming space, opens the door to a wide range of new opportunities. Immutable's blockchain solutions, known for their seamless and secure integration, provide a stable platform for Meme Alliance’s in-game economy.

The official public release is slated for October, promising an even more polished version of the game that incorporates on-chain integration and a fully functional marketplace. Expanding to Solana: The Next Big Step In addition to its presence on Ethereum, Meme Alliance is now expanding to the Solana blockchain through a public sale, taking advantage of Solana’s high-speed, low-cost transactions. The public presale of the $MMA token, which is now live on TheGemPad, marks a significant milestone for the project’s growth and its commitment to expanding into multiple blockchain ecosystems. By launching on Solana, Meme Alliance aims to attract a broader audience and provide its players with an efficient, scalable platform.

If you’ve spent any time on Facebook lately—and who hasn’t?—you’ve probably seen it. A group with a title that practically waves a red flag: “SCAMMERS LIST UPDATE.” It sounds like the place where you'd finally find the justice you’ve been looking for after falling victim to an online scam. Editor’s note: This story represents the views of the author of the story. The author is not affiliated with HackerNoon staff and wrote this story on their own. The HackerNoon editorial team has only verified the story for grammatical accuracy and does not condone/condemn any of the claims contained herein. #DYOR Maybe they’ll track down your lost money, or better yet, the scammer who conned you. Well, spoiler alert: they won’t. In fact, the ones behind this group are likely the same folks who ripped you off in the first place. Facebook, now going by Meta (because a rebrand magically fixes everything), is supposedly equipped with state-of-the-art systems to protect users from fraud. You’d think that includes shutting down a group that’s effectively a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But no, “SCAMMERS LIST UPDATE” is still up and running, despite countless reports by concerned users. And let’s be honest—Meta’s reaction has been about as useful as shouting into the wind. At first glance, this group seems almost noble. They’ve got the look of a do-gooder vigilante squad, dedicated to helping scam victims recover their hard-earned cash. But here’s where it gets twisted: the group is nothing more than a scam itself, a sinister plot to squeeze even more money out of already vulnerable victims. It’s like getting pickpocketed and then paying the thief to "help" you find your wallet. In what can only be described as a truly bitter irony, these fraudsters charge fees for “recovering” stolen funds. Spoiler number two: once you’ve sent money to a scammer, it’s gone. Vanished. The chances of some random Facebook group recovering it? About as likely as Facebook’s customer service actually responding to your complaints in a timely manner. But the real kicker? The group is riddled with scammers pretending to be everyday users. These aren’t your average internet trolls; these are organized scammers, often from overseas, posing as Westerners with stolen photos and fake profiles. And while the average user might not notice anything amiss, a closer look shows this group for what it is: a full-on scam factory. Profiles are fake, motives are even faker, and the whole thing is operating under the not-so-watchful eye of Meta. Despite numerous reports—complaints about everything from fake profiles to the scams happening right in plain sight—Meta has responded with a resounding, “We did not take any action.” Yeah, you read that right. One of the biggest tech companies in the world, with access to the kind of AI most of us can only dream of, is apparently powerless against a bunch of digital con artists. It’s almost laughable, except it’s not. Meta’s failure to act sends a chilling message: scammers are safe here. As long as they don’t get too loud about it, they can operate under the radar with little to no fear of getting booted off the platform. So what happens when someone, already humiliated and out a chunk of cash, turns to Meta for help? They’re met with silence—or worse, with a dismissive shrug. Why It's Time for Governments to Step In Meta's apparent refusal to address the rising tide of scams on its platform sends a troubling message: scammers have a safe haven under their watch. Rather than cracking down on fraud, Meta’s inaction seems to shield the very criminals preying on innocent users. Victims, already humiliated and financially drained, find no justice when they report fake profiles and fraudulent activity—just silence. The negligence isn't just a technological glitch; it’s a moral failure. It's time for governments to intervene, hold Meta accountable, and put an end to this unchecked lawlessness. Australia’s Albanese Government is stepping up to the plate with draft legislation aimed at slapping hefty penalties—up to $50 million—on banks, telecoms, and social media platforms like Facebook if they fail to fight back against fraud. Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones is leading the charge, declaring that Australia will become one of the toughest places in the world for scammers to operate. He emphasized, "The best protections anywhere in the world should be available to people here in Australia." The truth is, Australians are losing too much money to scams. Although we've avoided the international trend where scam losses double yearly, we’re still seeing far too many victims. Jones' words signal a shift in accountability—finally putting pressure on social media giants like Facebook, which have let scams flourish for far too long. Former Sunrise host David Koch knows the frustration all too well. For years, he’s called out scammers using his image and fake quotes to deceive people, with Facebook doing little to stop it. “I had a bloke on the weekend contact me through Facebook, abusing me because he lost $30,000 to a scam that used my picture and dodgy comments,” says Koch. The reality is this: Facebook has devolved into a breeding ground for scams. The platform, once intended to connect us, has become a cesspool for fraudsters, from fake ads to phishing schemes, all targeting users daily. Even worse, Facebook’s ad system seems to amplify these scams, giving fraudsters an even bigger stage. Rather than protecting users, Meta seems more focused on cashing in ad revenue, no matter how deceptive the ads may be. Scammers are thriving on the very platform that claims to keep us safe. If governments don't intervene, Meta’s complicity will only continue to endanger users worldwide. It’s time for someone to wake up and realize this isn’t just a technical oversight—it’s a moral issue. Meta’s refusal to take down groups like “SCAMMERS LIST UPDATE” doesn’t just allow scammers to thrive, it almost feels like an endorsement. And as much as we’d love to think we’re safe online, the truth is that until companies like Meta are held accountable, scam culture will continue to thrive in plain sight. At this point, maybe it’s time to ask the government to step in. We’ve let these platforms self-regulate long enough, and it’s clear that isn’t working. Letting scammers run rampant under the guise of “user-generated content” is more than irresponsible—it’s complicit. Meta may think a new name wipes the slate clean, but if this group is any indication, the mess is far from over. If you’ve spent any time on Facebook lately—and who hasn’t?—you’ve probably seen it.

Meta's Blind Spot: How Scammers Run Free On Facebook While Victims Pay the Price

I Tried Perplexity For a Week, And I Don't Think AI Search Engines Can Replace Google.. Yet

আমি এক সপ্তাহের জন্য বিভ্রান্তির চেষ্টা করেছি, এবং আমি মনে করি না এআই সার্চ ইঞ্জিনগুলি গুগলকে প্রতিস্থাপন করতে পারে.. তবুও
