NFT Carnival (www.nftcarnival.io), the first digital gallery event series for non-fungible tokens (NFT), and Culture Pulse (www.culturepulse.co/), the first NFT marketplace bridging the world of physical collections with their digital counterparts, are partnering to co-host a next-generation Super Bowl party on Saturday, February 12 from 2-6 pm PST. The three-part event will take place at Prince's former estate and will bring together leading NFT creators and collectors, athletes, investors and media for the Super Bowl of NFT Excellence, Culture Pulse exclusive launch, and Satoshi Salon LA.

In March 2021, nearly one year ago, Beeple sold an NFT for $69 million and NFTs have not slowed down since. The expansion of NFT utility is emerging into industries from music to memorabilia, including physical backed digital assets, allowing for the authentication of a physical item of value with tokenization of an NFT (e.g. a pair of shoes or a fine watch on physical display with an NFT that proves ownership and authenticity of the collectible). 

The Super Bowl of NFT Excellence event will kick off with the Culture Pulse Launch featuring a “Phigital” Gallery, displaying ultra-rare physical collectibles with their digital NFT counterparts created by prominent athletes and artists. Adjacent to the Culture Pulse artist gallery will be the NFT Carnival space, a second gallery for up-and-coming cryptocurrency and blockchain community NFT displays. 

Confirmed Culture Pulse creators for the event include Andy Warhol, Madoko Tagagi, Barbara Kruger, Chase Langford, John 5, Jerrod Maruyama, Lawyer Milloy, Gary Payton, Ed Ruscha, Shag, Bobby Wagner, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelers, Scott Page, Mo Bamba, Paolo Banchero & more.

During the event, guests will enjoy various musical performances by Scott Page from Pink Floyd and popular performer, Gashi. Along the grounds, guests will be able to access the exclusive NFT galleries and have the opportunity to meet the artists and athletes, as well as bid on high demand Super Bowl 2022 tickets. Drinks and heavy appetizers will be served.

Following the Super Bowl of NFT Excellence gallery will be the debut of Satoshi Salon in LA from 5:30-7 pm PST. Satoshi Salon is a private event club where leaders, innovators, and investors in blockchain, fintech, and emerging technology are invited to enjoy dinner, drinks, investment opportunities and thought-leader discussion to drive the industry forward. Early-stage blockchain startups are invited to present. Learn more at www.satoshi.salon.

SINGAPORE, Jan 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - 2021 was a huge year for the cryptocurrency market, with huge strides in growth and adoption of digital assets, NFTs, and blockchain worldwide. It was also an incredible year for Moonstake as we rose to the top rankings of global staking providers, reaching a total staking assets of $1.8 billion thanks to the support of our users and partners worldwide. As we begin the new year 2022, Moonstake as well as our strategic coin partners have many exciting news and programs in store for you as our platforms scale and evolve. To welcome our user community into the exciting new year, we're creating a series of articles in collaboration with our strategic partner on what you need to know about our partner coins in the year 2022, this time with Tezos.
Since August 2020, Moonstake has been supporting XTZ staking via strategic partnership with TZ Ventures, a Tezos-centric blockchain startup combinator from South Korea supported by the Tezos Foundation. Since then, Moonstake has hosted a number of campaigns that promoted awareness of the Tezos ecosystem as well as adoption of XTZ staking to global users.

Mainstream adoption of crypto reached an all-time high in 2021 and Tezos was one of the biggest players. Household names include Ubisoft, Red Bull, McLaren, The Grammy Awards, Groupe Casino, Whitney Houston, Doja Cat, Linkin Park, Cambridge University, The Catholic Church, UN Migration Agency, Deloitte, Save the Children, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and many more have started building on Tezos network. This has resulted in major growth on Tezos in the realms of NFTs, DeFi, and DApps. By the end of 2021, Tezos recorded over 33 million contract calls on mainnet with 24.5 million transactions being NFT related. In this article, we will be interviewing our partner at TZ Ventures about what is in store for the Tezos ecosystem and its user community in 2022.

Q1 Which 2021 achievements are you the most proud of?

We are very proud of and still support (tech consulting) our incubating firms who received funding - 1 Seed, 1 Series A, 1 Series B funding were secured in 2021. We are also cooperating with prominent projects in the game, NFT, K-pop and fin-tech industries and have signed numerous blockchain research MOUs. Additionally, we are currently incubating established companies in the metaverse and NFT space - projects projected to be the next big thing in Asia.

Q2 What measures are you going to take in 2022 to further increase adoption of Tezos?

Firstly, we will focus on assisting projects in applying for and receiving Tezos Foundation Grants - more than US$2.5 million in funding for over 200 projects in at least eight countries has been granted since Q2 2021. Also, We will leverage the focus of the Tezos Foundation as it positioned itself as the blockchain popular for developers and creators of NFTs: Most notably in Tezos, music NFT platforms such as Quincy Jones-backed OneOf and AmplifyX, as well as art NFT marketplace Hic et Nunc among many built on Tezos. Formula One teams Red Bull Honda Racing and McLaren Racing are also partnering with Tezos to build and create NFTs for fan engagement.

Q3 What can users expect from Tezos in 2022?

As stated previously, you can expect a faster turnaround in the Tezos Foundation Grants process. Also, NFTs will flourish on the Tezos network due to the blockchain's energy-efficient design and lower gas fees.

Moonstake is proud to be strategic partners of TZ Ventures. We will continue to maintain strong support for the ever growing and developing Tezos ecosystem and hope to bring even more great value to XTZ and crypto users worldwide in 2022 to help accelerate adoption of the Tezos and Moonstake ecosystems together.
