StadiaX Web3 Gaming Platform Rockets Out Of The Gate With Tens Of Thousands Of Users

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 4:27 PM on Wednesday, January 31st, 2024

Introduction: Unraveling the StadiaX Revolution

In a recent exclusive interview, we sat down with Dan Wasyluk, the CEO and co-founder of StadiaX, to dive deep into the innovative strides the company is making in the gaming and blockchain space. StadiaX is not just another player in the Web3 gaming arena; it stands out as a game publishing platform, poised to redefine the landscape of online gaming and blockchain integration.

StadiaX in a Nutshell

StadiaX distinguishes itself from the crowd by offering a diverse ecosystem of value through its utility token. This token goes beyond granting access to gameplay; it introduces a groundbreaking loyalty reward system that can significantly impact users’ gaming experiences. With a limited token supply, StadiaX sets itself apart, creating an environment where demand is expected to rise as more games and players join the platform.

More than just talk, StadiaX has already created a fast-growing community of users with:

  • 40,000 + newsletter subscribers;
  • 25,000 + users on Discord;
  • Over 125,000+ monthly active users on Earn Alliance
  • 15,900 followers on X;
  • 4,000 users on Zealy

The Tokenomics Game: A Finite Model for Success

One of the highlights of the interview was StadiaX’s innovative tokenomics model. The finite nature of the utility token, as explained by Dan Wasyluk, adds a layer of scarcity that is expected to drive demand. Users stand to benefit from loyalty rewards, enabling them to access more games, purchase in-game assets, and explore a diverse reward store. This unique approach positions StadiaX at the forefront of Web3 gaming, where the utility token serves as a gateway to a multitude of gaming-related perks.

Overcoming Hurdles: StadiaX’s Strategic Approach

As with any ambitious venture, StadiaX acknowledges the hurdles on its path to success. Wasyluk identifies three key challenges, one of which revolves around dispelling the misconception that StadiaX is just another player in the Web3 space. By emphasizing its fundamental differences from existing offerings, StadiaX aims to carve its own niche.

Adoption, a common challenge in transitioning from Web2 to Web3, is met with StadiaX’s commitment to minimizing friction for users. The team leverages the latest advancements in smart contracting and blockchain technology to ensure a seamless experience, prioritizing entertainment value over overwhelming users with technical jargon.

A crucial aspect is educating gamers about the distinction between StadiaX’s platform and other Web3 offerings. By focusing on being a game publishing platform with a broad ecosystem, StadiaX aims to dispel misconceptions and showcase its unique value proposition.

Leadership Insight: Dan Wasyluk’s Journey

Dan Wasyluk’s journey into the blockchain space is impressive, spanning over 25 years of experience in technology. With a background in leading teams and a pivotal role in co-founding Syscoin, a successful blockchain platform, Wasyluk’s expertise is a cornerstone of StadiaX’s leadership. His journey from traditional technology to blockchain reflects a deep understanding of the transformative power of decentralized technologies.

Future Horizons: AI Integration in StadiaX’s Ecosystem

The interview concluded with a glimpse into StadiaX’s future plans, including the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) within its ecosystem. Wasyluk envisions a multifaceted role for AI, emphasizing its current use in community engagement through a GPT bot. While the specifics of AI integration are yet to be unveiled, StadiaX aims to leverage AI for maximum value in enhancing the gaming experience for users.

Conclusion: StadiaX’s Unparalleled Achievement

As we wrap up this insightful interview, it’s evident that StadiaX is not merely a participant in the Web3 gaming evolution but a visionary leader shaping the narrative. The sale of $STADX token is on now!

StadiaX, under Dan Wasyluk’s leadership, represents a paradigm shift in how we perceive Web3 gaming. With a rockstar team, a robust utility token model, and a commitment to user-centric experiences, StadiaX is poised to become a trailblazer in the intersection of gaming and blockchain technology.

Investors, gamers, and industry enthusiasts alike should keep a close eye on StadiaX as it embarks on its journey to redefine the future of gaming. The fusion of cutting-edge technology, a visionary leadership team, and a passion for innovation sets StadiaX on a trajectory toward unparalleled success. As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming milestones, StadiaX stands as a testament to the transformative potential of Web3 gaming platforms.

Blockchain Foundry $BCFN.ca DeFi Strategy, Enterprise Development Initiatives and New Customer Acquisitions $HUT.ca $BITF.ca $GLXY.ca $HIVE.ca $VYGR.ca

  • Company is actively pursuing a two-pronged strategy to roll out products in the decentralized finance (“DeFi”) space and more traditional enterprise software solutions which leverage blockchain capabilities.
  • DeFi is a new area of blockchain technology that uses smart contracts to perform operations that would typically be performed by centralized entities or a series of intermediaries.
  • BCF has been actively evaluating blockchain-enabled product opportunities in several industry verticals, including remittances, loyalty applications and digital identities.

TORONTO, March 03, 2021 — Blockchain Foundry Inc. (“BCF” or the “Company”) (CSE:BCFN), a leading North American blockchain development firm, is pleased to provide an update on its product strategy, development initiatives and new customer acquisitions.

Product Strategy

The Company is actively pursuing a two-pronged strategy to roll out products in the decentralized finance (“DeFi”) space and more traditional enterprise software solutions which leverage blockchain capabilities.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Initiatives

DeFi is a new area of blockchain technology that uses smart contracts to perform operations that would typically be performed by centralized entities or a series of intermediaries. Some examples of DeFi applications include:

  • Non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), representing unique items such as works of art, digital collectibles or in-game items;
  • Automatic trading, market making and liquidity pools for digital assets;
  • Insurance contracts triggered automatically by pre-specified events and conditions; and
  • Stablecoins which are pegged to fiat currencies, precious metals or other traditional asset classes.

Most DeFi applications are built on the Ethereum blockchain. As discussed in previous Company disclosure, BCF has been a major contributor to the open source Syscoin blockchain protocol, which has cost, speed, security and scalability advantages over many public blockchains, including Ethereum.

BCF is assisting with the development efforts for the next release of Syscoin, version 4.2, which is expected to be released by April 30, 2021. Syscoin 4.2 will feature support for NFTs, a commonly requested feature by BCF clients, and will lay the groundwork for future Syscoin innovations, including Syscoin’s Network-Enhanced Virtual Machine (“NEVM”). NEVM is an improved version of Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (“EVM”) and serves as the backbone for smart-contract execution within the Syscoin ecosystem. NEVM will provide better security, speed and scalability through the use of zero-knowledge proofs (“ZKPs”) 1 .

Key to the Company’s strategy is enhancing the Syscoin protocol in ways which allow BCF to operate decentralized finance applications in much more efficient ways than are currently possible on today’s public blockchains. Over the next 3-6 months, the Company intends to release an initial DeFi solution to be developed on Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain. This initial DeFi implementation is expected to have lower fees than competing products due to the Company’s unique expertise in ZKPs in combination with Layer 1 and 2 systems which will be adapted to this solution. Competing DeFi products, most notably products like Uniswap, Balancer, Kyberswap and 1Inch, charge a fee based on the transactional volume processed by the platform. Uniswap charges a fee of 0.3% and frequently handles more than $1 billion in daily trading volume and processes over 100,000 daily transactions 2 . On the current Ethereum network, 100,000 transactions would cost approximately $300K compared with less than $1 for the same number of transactions on the Syscoin network 3 .

Many DeFi applications are difficult to use, prone to scams and fraud and generally do not appeal to mainstream users. BCF intends to leverage its expertise in developing consumer and enterprise solutions for clients to distinguish its offering from others on the market and appeal to a mainstream audience.

BCF’s initial DeFi release will be deployed, tested and improved upon throughout 2021 with the intention of releasing a more scalable, faster and cheaper implementation on Syscoin as soon as the underlying Syscoin architecture is ready for deployment, currently estimated for Q4 2021 or Q1 2022.

Enterprise Development Initiatives

BCF has been actively evaluating blockchain-enabled product opportunities in several industry verticals, including remittances, loyalty applications and digital identities. For each use case, the Company has been engaging with potential industry partners who would be the initial users of any products developed by BCF and who would assist the Company in its roll out of these products to enterprise users. The Company continues to evaluate enterprise use cases and partnerships and will provide updates to the market as these initiatives progress.

New Customer Acquisition

In addition to its product development strategy, the Company continues to provide consulting and development services to projects where it believes it has a strong technological advantage and can add value for its clients.

BCF has recently engaged in two solution design projects, one for a carbon exchange product using a digital asset to represent sequestered carbon, and another project building an NFT platform to track the popularity of music, movies and TV shows and produce a corresponding payout. Both of these projects represent innovative use cases for blockchain technology and BCF looks forward to completing these solution designs and beginning work on full scale design and implementation proposals for these clients.

We all remember the crash of “blockchain” smallcap stocks a couple of years back, which was actually a crash of blockchain pretenders who used the term to build stock promotions, as opposed to building actual blockchains.  

Like the dot-com crash of 2000, which bankrupted “dot-com” companies but gave birth to the likes of Google, Amazon, Linkedin because they built actual utility and value, the same can be expected of the blockchain crash and its resurgence.

Blockchain Foundry is a “Blockchain 2.0” company that has survived and is thriving. More than just lip service, take a look at the following highlights:   

  • Revenue for 9 months of 2020  (ending Sept 30) ~$1.1M 
    • 113% Year Over Year Growth
    • Net Income $140,000 = $610,000 Improvement
  • Completed development agreement with a large Canadian financial institution valued at approximately C$400,000; 
  • Partnered with Binance, the largest digital asset trading platform in the world, to leverage the Syscoin platform. 
  • 5 Active Clients + Robust Pipeline

Conclusion – BCFN is a smallcap Blockchain company with Real Customers, Real Revenues and Real Income

Jim rogers on elections, gold & blockchain!

  • When it comes to elections, Jim Rogers has always maintained a simple stance – the markets are not going to change that much!   
  • Rogers affirms his positive stance on Gold & Silver, asks investors not to sell. He owns a few US Dollars too. “When the US$ gets overpriced in the next year or 2 or 3 then i will sell it. I hope I get my timing right”, says Jim Rogers. 
  • Rogers identifies Blockchain as the next big disruptor to economies, industries and jobs 

By: Mubina Kapasi | Senior Research Analyst

When it comes to elections, Jim Rogers has always maintained a simple stance – the markets are not going to change that much! He does note though that history shows that if the incumbent president wins then the stock market is likely to go up next year but if the challenger wins then the odds are lower. The challenger tends to have a ‘clean up’ attitude, according to Rogers. But he does add that regardless of who the boss of the White House will be, the Fed and Central Banks world over will continue printing money.

On the candidates and their expected policies, Rogers says economies never like taxes being raised which is something Joe Biden has indicated as his potential policy action. Raising taxes has rarely been good for the market, says Rogers. He further expects Democrats to curtail the big energy firms, break up the big tech companies. 

His allegiance to Gold & Silver remains. Rogers continues to maintain his stance of an expected continued run-up in both precious metals and advises investors to not sell any of these. He continues to own a few US Dollars as well. “When the US$ gets overpriced in the next year or 2 or 3 then I will sell it. I hope I get my timing right,” says Rogers. 

Rogers identifies BlockChain as the next big disruptor. “Blockchain is going to change everything we know,” says Rogers. He believes that some big financial firms could even disappear in the tech wave while some may manage to make the Banking-Fin Tech transition.

Vale completes first sale of iron ore using blockchain technology with Nanjing Iron & Steel

  • Vale, one of the world’s largest mining companies, completed its first sale of iron ore using blockchain technology with Nanjing Iron & Steel Group International Trade Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nanjing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (NISCO) for a cargo of 176,000 tons of Brazilian Blend Fines (BRBF) from Teluk Rubiah Maritime Terminal, in Malaysia, to China.
  • Vale said this transaction is aligned with its strategy of becoming a more innovative and customer-centered company through greater integration with clients and partnering for the development of new solutions.

Vale also called it an important milestone towards the digitalization of the sales and trade process, bringing innovation to the traditional paper-intensive trade transactions and offering a better service to the clients as well as predictability in the steel value chain.

The Letter of Credit (LC) was issued through the Contour blockchain platform while the shipping documents and the electronic Bill of Lading were handled via essDOCS’ CargoDocs solution—with all actions carried out through a single, interfaced platform consolidated in Contour. The transaction also had the support from DBS Bank Ltd and Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad.

The integrated transaction enabled end-to-end security and transparency with real time visibility of the documentation to all stakeholders, drastically reducing the amount of emails and paperwork exchanged among the parties and providing enhanced user experience through access to a single solution to execute the trade.

Ethereum set to become first blockchain to settle $1 trillion in one year

  • According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.
  • If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.

By: Samuel Haig

The third-quarter decentralized finance boom has resulted in the Ethereum (ETH) network processing more than twice the daily transaction volume of Bitcoin (BTC).

According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.

If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.

Ethereum’s previous strongest calendar year relative to Bitcoin was 2018, when it processed half a billion in volume, which was 59% as much as Bitcoin’s $849 million that year.

Bitcoin is on-track for its second-strongest year behind 2018, projected to process $800 million. Yearly transaction value for Bitcoin and Ethereum: Messari

It’s not a straightforward comparison between the two blockchains, however. With the DeFi bubble largely taking place on top of Ethereum-powered smart contracts, the Ethereum network now processes the volume of an entire sector, while Bitcoin largely represents transfers of value denominated in BTC.

Messari’s Ryan Watkins attributes much of Ethereum’s volume spike to increased ERC-20 stablecoin volumes, with the majority of Tether (USDT) transactions now taking place on Ethereum and yield farming-driven demand pushing supply growth of more than 600% for MakerDAO’s Dai stablecoin.

Watkins also notes booming on-chain liquidity from decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap and Curve generating more than $20 billion in volume combined during September. DEXs now represent more than 13.6% of total exchange volumes.

However, Messari predicts “the next twelve months could come to define the platform wars” in crypto, noting Ethereum’s ongoing high fees as a problem that rival blockchains will seek to solve, alongside “the rise of parallel DeFi ecosystems.”

“Look for all would-be ETH Killers to continue to empty out their treasuries to build a parallel DeFi sector throughout the end of 2020 and beyond.”

In August, Chris Burniske, a partner at PlaceHolder Capital, asserted that Ethereum and Bitcoin are racing each other to reach the first $1 trillion market cap in crypto.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain portions of this press release contain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, which is also referred to as “forward-looking statements”, which may not be based on historical fact. Wherever possible, words such as “will,” “plans,” “expects,” “targets,” “continues,” “estimates,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “would” or might, and the negative of such expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future events, future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of the times at, or by which, such events, performance or results will be achieved, if achieved at all. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, as they reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by BCF are inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, competitive, political and social uncertainties, and contingencies. Many factors could cause BCF’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
