Ideaology’s IEO Ushers the Launch of Blockchain Platform for Innovators

by

DUBAI, UAE – Ideaology is proud to announce its IDEA token pre-sale on December 1, 2020. The pre-sale event is an initial exchange offering (IEO) on P2PB2B exchange. Users will have a chance to purchase IDEA tokens with a 22% discount before the IDEA token public sale.

Ideaology aims to be the “Biggest Blockchain Ecosystem in 2021 and beyond”. Along with the pre-sale launch, Ideaology’s Active IDEA platform will have its beta launch on December 1, 2020 as well. The very existence of Ideaology is a testament to how the model it’s promoting works. With its upcoming IEO and subsequent launch on crypto exchanges, Ideaology’s Active IDEA aims to become the first blockchain-powered platform to pave the way for users to collaborate on promising blockchain projects while investing in these ventures as well.

“Freelancers don’t necessarily work on online freelance platforms, and clients or companies don’t necessarily look for talents on those websites. Many of them are running their independent business from their websites or agencies, and looking for clients via advertisements, email marketing, leads generation, and other techniques. This is why we need to ask the question: why would a freelancer choose a website like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer to sell his services when they can be part of a platform where they can offer their expertise and services on a platform specifically created for their exposure and convenience?” ,said Khaled Alkalbani, Founder and CEO at Ideaology.

Whether you are an investor looking for the right project to pour your resources on, a business developer that needs funding to start his empire, or a digital nomad looking for a platform where you can provide meaningful services and earn, Active IDEA strives to be the go-to platform for all online professionals.

Within the Active IDEA platform, members can collaborate as they invest and find projects that they have passion for. Members of the Ideaology community will be enabled to launch a startup through crowdfunding, but at the same time, will also have the opportunity to work with startups.The Ideaology team calls this whole process “collabvesting” – where Active IDEA users can invest in startups while also giving startups and freelancers to collaborate on projects.

“We believe that our IEO launch with P2PB2B enables Ideaology supporters and P2PB2B users to have a smooth and convenient experience in participating in our pre-sale for the IDEA token. We trust that P2PB2B will also offer a great IDEA token pre-sale experience for everyone interested to purchase IDEA tokens at an early stage.”, said Amar Kovacevic, Co-Founder and CTO at Ideaology.

By establishing a platform where online professionals can start collabvesting, and jumpstarting it with a pre-sale of their IDEA token, Ideaology just became one of the most promising blockchain companies in 2021 and beyond.

Yearn teams up with Akropolis to boost institutional outreach

by

Yearn Finance announced on Monday yet another merger with Akropolis, a multi-product DeFi protocol featuring yield optimization and under-collateralized loans.

Like the Cream Finance merger announced last week the two ecosystems will remain largely independent in terms of their tokens and overall product lines, a shared announcement clarifies. However, like with Pickle Finance, Akropolis will now integrate Yearn vault technology and will publish its yield farming strategies on its Vault V2 platform.

The two development teams will combine and benefit from each others’ expertise. Akropolis developers will be able to build their strategies using tools from the expanding Yearn ecosystem, including Cream’s lending platform.

For the Yearn protocol, Akropolis will offer its business development expertise and institutional contacts, the announcement says. Akropolis will also deprecate AkropolisOS and Sparta, its two other products unrelated to yield generation. These will be moved into open source development mode. Development will then be concentrated on an institutional front-end that would let professional traders access the combined Yearn-Akropolis ecosystem.

Akropolis will also introduce an IOU token to track losses from its recent hack. Platform profits will be redirected into this token’s fund to eventually repay all those who lost money on the hack. The team said it will streamline integration with insurance protocols to let more users benefit from coverage in the future. The Yearn ecosystem now also includes Cover protocol, a DeFi insurance provider.

Akropolis said that calling it a merger “is a bit of a misnomer,” despite using the same word to describe the cooperation in its announcement. Many of the integrations rely on the permissionless nature of DeFi, meaning that Akropolis could have unilaterally decided to integrate itself in the Yearn ecosystem at any previous point.

However, the cooperation between development teams is expected to be very tight and seems to be relying on very specific strengths of each team — Akropolis would seemingly make use of Yearn’s development experience in exchange for facilitating institutional onboarding.

Cointelegraph reached out to Andre Cronje and Akropolis, who both declined to comment.

Pizza Hut Now Accept Bitcoin Payments in Venezuela

by

Venezuela continues to grow its Bitcoin adoption base, as both the private and public sectors are opening up to the asset. Local crypto services provider CryptoBuyer confirmed on Twitter that popular fast-food chain Pizza Hut will now accept Bitcoin for payments in the country.

All Locations Open to Crypto

The move is part of a larger adoption drive that looks to improve Bitcoin’s functionality in the South American nation. Speaking with news source ElAxioma, Richard ElKhouri, Pizza Hut’s General Director of Operations for Venezuela, explained that the country had witnessed the surge in demand for Bitcoin as a daily necessity.

With more chunks of the population accepting the cryptocurrency, Pizza Hut believes that it is right for them to incorporate it.

The new service uses CryptoBuyer. With the partnership, users can purchase pies at several Pizza Hut locations – including Caracas, Maracaibo, Maracay, and Barquisimeto. Acceptable cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Binance Coin, Binance Dollar, Tether, Dai, and XPT, CryptoBuyer’s native token.

CryptoBuyer has been making significant moves to improve Bitcoin adoption in Venezuela, following a more positive stance on the asset from the government.

Based in Panama, the crypto merchant payment service partnered with Mega Soft, a local company that processes payments for local businesses. The partnership will see merchant Server, Mega Soft’s payment service, accept dozens of cryptocurrencies in addition to fiat.

Through the partnership, merchants will be able to get payments in cryptocurrencies and either settle them in real-time or keep them for future purposes.

Getting More Crypto-Friendly

The increase in crypto focus comes as Venezuela continues to battle crippling economic crises. At a certain point last year, hyperinflation in the country hit 10 million. This made it pretty challenging to tore the local currency. Since the international community had imposed sanctions on Venezuela, access to currencies like the dollar was also tricky.

This opened the door for cryptocurrencies to help. Inflation has slowed down since then, but these assets remain essential to the economy. With businesses looking to stabilize their cash flow, it has been imperative to incorporate cryptocurrencies into their operation. The partnership between Mega Soft and CryptoBuyer covers it.

The Venezuelan government has also recognized the role of cryptocurrencies in their fight to maintain the economy. In September, President Nicolas Maduro presented a bill to the National Constituent Assembly that draws a possible roadmap for the country’s evasion of U.S.-imposed sanctions. The bill explained that the government would study the use of both private and public digital assets in bolstering trade.

Amongst other things, the bill marked a significant departure from the government’s previous stance. For over a year, it has focused on Petro, its state-backed asset. However, with Petro having no use beyond Venezuela’s walls, the government will need to rely heavily on existing cryptocurrencies to conduct trade.
