As we gather and welcome the metaverse, unused concepts and features that are only possible inside the screen of our computers will now play a big part in our daily lives. What I would like to point out is that in virtual reality, the common use of 3D avatars will become indispensable. Time will come that we will all have our respective avatar models scattered all over the internet to socialize and recreate opportunities that we have never considered before.

Thanks to Facebook announcing its move to rebrand its company name to Meta, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies alike would achieve greater heights. A digital world would require digital currencies and avatars that will act as intermediaries for people to connect. Such is definitely a place for NFTs to shine.

We will get to know hundreds or even thousands of NFT projects in the years to come. Even before the big announcement of Meta, several NFT projects have already started showcasing their objectives and desire to take part in the digital economy. One of the most popular NFT project themes we have right now is the animated 3D NFT models.

Since we are already here talking about NFTs, avatars, and 3D models, I am humbled to introduce you to a metaverse-ready 3D NFT project. Presenting MeSkullz, a family of thousands of skull-inspired NFT voxel figures with varying classes, themes, accessories, and symbols. MeSkullz is one-of-a-kind certified unique ERC-721 NFTs with high-resolution PNG and 3D GLP file features.

Like what was mentioned before, these unique avatars are metaverse-ready. This means that they can represent you, me, and anybody else as avatars inside augmented reality. As bones and skulls are the main features of the project, the goal of MeSkullz is to bring everyone together to interact in the ‘Afterlife’ metaverse.

The first 1000 NFT presale will be sold at 0.07 Ethereum, and the balance will be sold at 0.1 Ethereum. As a holder of MeSkullz NFT, you have full commercial rights on the use of your collection, which includes Meskullz-related airdrops as well. Within the VR and AR space, your MeSkullz will always be by your side.

The project’s roadmap sure looks promising. The last quarter of 2021 will focus on building the amazing community and launch the first MeSkullz collection while the first quarter of 2022 will introduce a wide range of merchandise and deploy a community fund. These milestones will secure the future, adaptability, and interoperability of MeSkullz in the upcoming metaverse. Be prepared to see these cool skulls in action!

Hey folks, how about a Lightning Network and Masternode/s: Reforged and United??

I'm using and enjoying Stakenet Lightning Network. It is a second layer solution to enable peer-to-peer off-chain transactions within a blockchain or between and among different blockchains. It requires providers to store their coins in channels to secure liquidity and to route remittances between different nodes. On the other hand, a masternode is a dedicated full node of a blockchain residing on servers around the world, ensuring decentralization and redundancy. In order to run a masternode, a valid collateral output of fifteen thousand (15,000) coins for each masternode is required. Stakenet's masternodes are aimed to be one of the most powerful stations within the crypto industry, earning a passive income depending on the services provided.

Stakenet blockchain has established its masternodes to be lightning network-ready. This hallmark allows the instant and virtually feeless transactions of cryptocurrency among its users, thereby making Stakenet more efficient and effective compared to other cryptocurrencies.  The use of lightning network nodes in verifying transactions is way more powerful and works much better compared to a trading environment.

You're probably going to get a lot of shilling asking what coin to buy. Everyone wants their investment pumped. I would research the projects and make my own judgment call. What I've got after my intensive research were ADA, SOLANA, Stakenet (XSN), and PlotX (PLOT)...

Often described as the "Internet of Blockchains", the Blocknet is an infrastructure for the upcoming "inter-blockchain era". The Blocknet is a decentralized exchange platform that enables decentralized communication and exchanges between and among different blockchain titles supported by the blockchain within a permissionless and trustless manner, utilizing the TCP/IP networking layer for communication, peer-to-peer atomic swaps using BIP65 for exchange, and Distributed Hash Table (DHT) overlay network in order to host nodes of compatible blockchains and other interactions within the platform. It was designed with the vision to provide interoperability towards inter-blockchain infrastructure, decentralization, and security towards monetary transactions.

Blocknet is also known as one of the first movers on DEX developments. Blocknet's Block DEX/DX acts as the first true decentralized exchange application that supports thousands of blockchain trading pairs. Together with its XRouter and XBridge layers, a connection of dApss and blockchains became possible within the network. The XRouter was established to allow dApps to consume services and verify data on any blockchain, while the XBridge answers to the need for an exchange layer that connects blockchain assets through cross-chain atomic swaps.

Despite offering its extensive decentralized exchange platform and blockchain interoperability backed by practical and efficient use cases, the Blocknet is still called by many an undervalued project and cryptocurrency. Its native coin BLOCK is ranking at #650 according to CoinMarketCap cryptocurrency ranking. BLOCK has reached its all-time high price of fifty-two US dollars in the first quarter of 2018. The coin's value gradually decreased and to this day, its price is around five US dollars.

Why such an exceptional decentralized open-source platform became undervalued. We must first consider the way people, especially crypto enthusiasts, engage in a certain blockchain or cryptocurrency. Many investors tend to secure their funds on old and long-running crypto platforms such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, among others, due to the invisible trust and certainty that these crypto titles are, rest assured, won't get trashed away from the digital market.

It also worth mentioning that to be consistently marketed, cryptocurrencies must be supported with regular updates and innovative projects that will promote their cause efficiently and catch the interest of present and future investors. A lively team dedicated to providing regular updates within the most known social media platforms would also be a huge help in cascading the platform's popularity.

Furthermore, BLOCK being in the alternative coin market is also a factor that makes it undervalued. Alternative coins are those who suffered such damage due to the cryptocurrency market has experienced a bearish market from the start of 2018 up to the very last month of 2019. As the number of alternative coins in the market increases, people's trust and confidence toward them reciprocally decreases. This is due to the consideration that most of these coins may fail in the near future, or is in fact a scam or a false promise. This, in turn, makes the value of alternative coins go down or remain low in the competitive digital market.

The Blocknet is fighting back to retake its crown once more. Recently, the community has officially posted its partnership with Avalanche, an open-source high-performance platform for launching decentralized applications, financial primitives, and interoperable blockchains. Avalanche will aid the Blocknet protocol to upgrade its chains to cater to almost every other blockchain title today. This collaboration will allow the building of interchain dApps on Avalanche to perform more blockchain interactions. Whether you like it or not, the Blocknet will continue to thrive as a community and a one-of-a-kind cryptocurrency exchange platform.

I like this thread, I have to look at it every time it pops up on my feed.
Just gets better every time! haha

I enjoy XLite wallet so much. Atomic swaps on $BTC, $LTC, $BLOCK, $DOGE, $DASH, $SYS and $PIVX.
No KYC, no logins. no middlemen, very secure and with customizable speed.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are 85% of the market and a lot of people are holding cryptocurrencies that haven't surpassed their 2017 peak yet.

Not $1T yet but still impressive.

I heard that ARK announces a partnership with ARK?? This is a big move for Stakenet. Great job team 

Blocknet is Purely Decentralized. Gone are the days when centralized systems are widely used because they're efficient. Blocknet is technically about 10x easier compared to other DEX's. In addition to being a lot easier to monetize as well.

And here's how the Blocknet Protocol works:

Decentralized applications should be censorship-resistant, trustless, and without a central point of failure –  principles that the Blocknet Protocol was founded on. The Blocknet Protocol consists of 2 components:   

1.XRouter is an inter-blockchain SPV client backend, enabling the verification of blockchain records without requiring users to download the full blockchain. XRouter functions on the TCP/IP level and is compatible with any and all blockchains and networks.   

2.XBridge provides the ability to perform true trustless and decentralized exchanges between any digital asset that is supported by the Blocknet Protocol via APIs. The entire process is done in a trustless manner.

Together XBridge and XRouter provide decentralized, total blockchain interoperability across ALL blockchains, creating an Infura-like, but completely decentralized API ecosystem for hundreds of blockchains.
