In this era of competitive NFT marketplaces, users tend to switch from one chain or platform to the other.
Binance aims to put an end to this trend by its intellectual property licensing, where it hopes that a wide range of artists’ work will garner a wide range of users as well. In addition to this, Binance also announced an NFT drop from Misha Most, a street artist holding a world record for the largest wall mural. Artists would be making 10 NFTs while collaborating with other artists, and their pieces will be available for sale from June 24th.

3 – Litentry Announces Its Strategic Partnership With iMe to Enhance Mass Adoption in Social Media
Litentry partnered with iMe messenger. Under this strategic partnership, Litentry will integrate data of iMe wallet users into its identity aggregation protocol. By doing so, iMe will aid users in availing DeFi services and dApps on the basis of their activity on the messenger. With the integration of Litentry’s innovative computation models with iMe, iMe user profiles will also witness a new Litentry interface. The users will benefit from this collaboration as they would be able to take a holistic view of all of their financial activities under one single dashboard. In order for the users to get preferential treatment from third-party dApps, users can display their identity computation output as well. Another advantage of this partnership involves the supportability of LIT tokens by iMe Wallet. This integration will result in iMe lessening the chances of failure and making more informed decisions.
iMe aims to give users a secure and user-friendly interface so that they can effectively manage their cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, Litentry removes the redundancy of code through a decentralized, verifiable aggregation service.
4 – Fear LP Staking Farm Is Now Live!
The Fear LP Staking Farm Program is now live on Uniswap. Participants would have to stake their FEAR-USDT Uniswap Liquidity Pool tokens to earn FEAR tokens. The total number of tokens that will be rewarded is 400,000 FEAR. The distribution of these tokens would take place over a period of roughly 60 days. The rewards under the program would be distributed in proportion to the amount of liquidity each participant provides. In other words, APY per participant would depend on how many LP tokens they would be staking in the program. In order to motivate the participants to provide long-term liquidity, a time-based reward system is put into place.
At the time of publishing this article, the current APY is 669.03%. Total FEAR staked is 337.34k and total rewards locked is 392.511k.
5 – Polygon Surpasses Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum in Terms of User Activity
Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain are witnessing a decline in user activity across their DeFi platforms, with PanCakeSwap dropping by 22%. Uniswap’s active wallets saw a drop of 2% in its V2 version and in its V3 version, it dropped by 7% over the past seven days. On the contrary, activity on Polygon has been on the rise, with the usage of ParaSwap increasing by 96%. QuickSwap, among other Polygon-based platforms, is also gaining user attention. The reason for the drop in the usage of Binance Smart Chain-based platforms is the lowering popularity of yield farming amongst the investors. Another reason could be the security breaches that took place, thus tarnishing the image of Binance Smart Chain. More and more projects, such as Autofarm, are looking for an expansion in Polygon, thus also adding to its popularity.
