## Τι είναι το JPEG'd;

Το JPEG'd είναι ένα κρυπτονόμισμα που λειτουργεί στο blockchain του Ethereum, μια κορυφαία πλατφόρμα για τη δημιουργία και διαχείριση ψηφιακών περιουσιακών στοιχείων και έξυπνων συμβολαίων. Με συνολική προσφορά 69.420.000.000 νομισμάτων, αντιπροσωπεύει ένα πειραματικό πρωτόκολλο στον χώρο του blockchain. Αυτή η πειραματική φύση υπονοεί ότι ενσωματώνει νέες προσεγγίσεις ή έννοιες στη λειτουργία του, που μπορεί να περιλαμβάνουν διάφορους κινδύνους σχετικούς με τον γρήγορα εξελισσόμενο τομέα της τεχνολογίας blockchain.

Όπως με κάθε κρυπτονόμισμα ή έργο blockchain, οι πιθανοί συμμετέχοντες θα πρέπει να διεξάγουν ενδελεχή έρευνα για να κατανοήσουν τις συγκεκριμένες λειτουργικότητες, στόχους και κινδύνους που σχετίζονται με το JPEG'd. Δεδομένης της κατάστασής του ως πειραματικού πρωτοκόλλου, είναι κρίσιμο να ληφθούν υπόψη οι επιπτώσεις των καινοτομιών του και πώς εντάσσονται στο ευρύτερο οικοσύστημα των ψηφιακών περιουσιακών στοιχείων.

Η εμπλοκή σε ένα τέτοιο έργο θα πρέπει να προσεγγίζεται με προσοχή, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την ασταθή φύση των κρυπτονομισμάτων και τις εγγενείς αβεβαιότητες των πειραματικών τεχνολογιών blockchain.

### Πώς είναι ασφαλισμένο το JPEG'd;

Η JPEG'd υιοθετεί μια πολυδιάστατη προσέγγιση για να διασφαλίσει την ασφάλεια των προσωπικών πληροφοριών. Αυτή η στρατηγική περιλαμβάνει τη χρήση τεχνολογιών κρυπτογράφησης για την προστασία των δεδομένων κατά τη μετάδοση και τον περιορισμό της πρόσβασης σε ευαίσθητες πληροφορίες για να αποτραπεί η μη εξουσιοδοτημένη προβολή ή χρήση. Παρόλο που αυτά τα μέτρα ενισχύουν σημαντικά την ασφάλεια, είναι σημαντικό να αναγνωριστεί ότι κανένας τρόπος μετάδοσης μέσω του διαδικτύου ή λύση ηλεκτρονικής αποθήκευσης δεν μπορεί να εγγυηθεί ως 100% ασφαλής. Αυτή η πραγματικότητα τονίζει τη σημασία των χρηστών να λαμβάνουν επίσης προληπτικά μέτρα για την προστασία των προσωπικών τους πληροφοριών.

Στο ευρύτερο πλαίσιο της ασφάλειας των εικόνων JPEG, υπάρχει μια αναδυόμενη συζήτηση μέσα στις κοινότητες των κρυπτονομισμάτων και της blockchain σχετικά με την αξιοποίηση της τεχνολογίας blockchain για αυτόν τον σκοπό. Οι εγγενείς χαρακτηριστικές της blockchain, όπως η αποκεντρωση, η αμεταβλητότητα και η διαφάνεια, προσφέρουν υποσχόμενες διόδους για την ενίσχυση της ασφάλειας και της ακεραιότητας των ψηφιακών εικόνων, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των JPEGs. Ωστόσο, είναι σημαντικό να σημει

### Πώς θα χρησιμοποιηθεί το JPEG'd;

Το JPEG'd αντιπροσωπεύει μια καινοτόμο προσέγγιση εντός του οικοσυστήματος των κρυπτονομισμάτων, αξιοποιώντας το αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον και την αξία στα μη ανταλλάξιμα tokens (NFTs). Λειτουργώντας στο blockchain του Ethereum, αυτή η πλατφόρμα προσφέρει στους χρήστες μια μοναδική χρηματοοικονομική υπηρεσία: τη δυνατότητα να λάβουν δάνεια χρησιμοποιώντας τα NFTs τους ως εγγύηση. Αυτός ο μηχανισμός εισάγει μια νέα χρησιμότητα για τα NFTs πέρα από τη συμβατική τους χρήση ως ψηφιακά συλλεκτικά αντικείμενα ή έργα τέχνης.

Επιτρέποντας στους κατόχους NFT να ενεχυριάζουν τα περιουσιακά τους στοιχεία, το JPEG'd αντιμετωπίζει μια κρίσιμη ανάγκη εντός του χώρου των ψηφιακών περιουσιακών στοιχείων - τη ρευστότητα. Συνήθως, οι κάτοχοι NFT που χρειάζονταν ρευστότητα έπρεπε να πουλήσουν τα περιουσιακά τους στοιχεία, χάνοντας πιθανώς την εκτίμηση της μελλοντικής τους αξίας. Το JPEG'd προσφέρει μια εναλλακτική επιτρέποντας σε αυτά τα άτομα να διατηρήσουν την κυριότητα των NFTs τους ενώ παράλληλα έχουν πρόσβαση στα χρήματα που χρειάζονται.

Αυτή η υπηρεσία είναι ιδιαίτερα ελκυστική για εκείνους που έχουν επενδύσει στην αγορά NFT, προσφέροντας έναν τρόπο να αξιοποιήσουν τα ψηφιακά του

### Ποια κύρια γεγονότα έχουν συμβεί για το JPEG'd;

Το JPEG'd έχει βιώσει αρκετά σημαντικά ορόσημα που έχουν διαμορφώσει την ανάπτυξη και την παρουσία του εντός του χώρου των κρυπτονομισμάτων και της blockchain. Ένα από τα καθοριστικά γεγονότα ήταν η εισαγωγή ενός κλειδιού εικόνας για τη συνδεσιμότητα, ενισχύοντας τη λειτουργικότητα και την εμπειρία του χρήστη του έργου με τη βελτίωση της ευκολίας με την οποία μπορούν να εντοπιστούν και να συνδεθούν συναλλαγές και περιουσιακά στοιχεία. Αυτή η ανάπτυξη είναι κρίσιμη για τη διατήρηση της διαφάνειας και της ασφάλειας εντός του οικοσυστήματος.

Ένα άλλο αξιοσημείωτο επίτευγμα για το JPEG'd ήταν η υλοποίηση αντίστασης στην ανάλυση blockchain. Αυτή η δυνατότητα έχει σχεδιαστεί για να προστατεύει την ιδιωτικότητα και την ασφάλεια του χρήστη καθιστώντας πιο δύσκολη για εξωτερικούς φορείς την ανάλυση και την εντοπισμό συναλλαγών blockchain. Αυτό το βήμα αντανακλά την αυξανόμενη σημασία των ανησυχιών για την ιδιωτικότητα και την ασφάλεια εντός της κοινότητας των κρυπτονομισμάτων και δείχνει τη δέσμευση του JPEG'd στην αντιμετώπιση αυτών των ζητημάτων.

Το έργο έχει επίσης εκμεταλλευτεί προπριντικούς διακομιστές όπως το Biorxiv, το Medrxiv και το Arxiv, δείχνοντας μια εστίαση στην έρευνα και αν

Stargate Finance (STG) is an omnichain-native asset bridge designed to solve the blockchain trilemma, which says that no blockchain can be decentralized, secure, and fast simultaneously. It does this by simplifying cross-chain DeFi transactions, which lets users transfer and swap their assets between different blockchains, layer-2 networks, and decentralized applications (dApps) almost instantly.

Stargate users can also move their assets between different liquidity pools on various decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and dApps. The protocol supports transfers between eight chains: Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Metis, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism and Fantom.

The platform offers several other, profit-making features: users can supply liquidity pools, stake assets, and farm tokens. When users stake their assets, they can help govern the Stargate Finance Exchange.

LooksRare is a decentralized, community-first NFT marketplace. The protocol was released on the Ethereum blockchain with an ERC-20 utility token — LOOKS — in January 2022.

The LooksRare platform enables individuals to trade non-fungible tokens, with an emphasis on rewarding users for their participation.

The LOOKS token serves a handful of functions within the LooksRare ecosystem:

100% of trading fees are earned by users who ‘commit’ their LOOKS in the form of Protocol Rewards

Every (non-private) trade incurs a Trading Reward, which acts as a LOOKS rebate for the fee paid on LooksRare trades (currently 0.5%, collected in ETH)

It can be used to participate in exclusive drops and other token-gated applications

GMX is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading perpetual cryptocurrency futures with up to 50X leverage on popular cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH and more. The platform launched in September 2021 as Gambit Exchange. To date, GMX has a total trading volume of over $130B and 283K total users, making it the leading derivatives DEX on Arbitrum and Avalanche.

GMX runs on the Arbitrum and the Avalanche blockchain. These ecosystems are connected to the exchange via Synapse — a cross-chain bridge.

Metis is an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution aiming to solve the blockchain trilemma: that blockchains cannot be decentralized, secure, and scalable simultaneously. It also strives to solve Ethereum's biggest challenges: speed, cost and scalability.

Metis wants to help developers create and manage existing decentralized applications (dApps), while also supporting developers and entrepreneurs who want to build and launch new dApps. It also integrates the Decentralized Autonomous Company (DAC) framework into its Layer 2 infrastructure to help developers and businesses move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0.

The Frax Protocol is the first fractional-algorithmic stablecoin system. Frax is open-source, permissionless, and entirely on-chain – currently implemented on Ethereum (with possible cross chain implementations in the future). The end goal of the Frax protocol is to provide a highly scalable, decentralized, algorithmic money in place of fixed-supply digital assets like BTC. The protocol incorporates the following concepts:

Fractional-Algorithmic – Frax is a unique stablecoin with parts of its supply backed by collateral and parts of the supply algorithmic. The ratio of collateralized and algorithmic depends on the market's pricing of the FRAX stablecoin. If FRAX is trading at above $1, the protocol decreases the collateral ratio. If FRAX is trading at under $1, the protocol increases the collateral ratio.

Decentralized & Governance-minimized – Community governed and emphasizing a highly autonomous, algorithmic approach with no active management.

Fully on-chain oracles – Frax v1 uses Uniswap (ETH, USDT, USDC time-weighted average prices) and Chainlink (USD price) oracles.

Two Tokens – FRAX is the stablecoin targeting a tight band around $1/coin. Frax Shares (FXS) is the governance token which accrues fees, seigniorage revenue, and excess collateral value.

Before Frax, stablecoins were divided into three different categories: fiat collateralized, overcollateralized with cryptocurrency, and algorithmic with no collateral. Frax is the first kind of decentralized stablecoin to classify itself as fractional-algorithmic ushering in the 4th and most unique category.

Frax Share

Synapse (SYN) is an interoperability protocol designed for safely and securely sending arbitrary data between blockchains.

Its users can transfer and swap their assets across many different chains, including layer 1, layer 2 and sidechain ecosystems.

The project aims to improve inter-blockchain compatibility by helping its users move their assets between different networks more efficiently. In order to securely transfer its users' assets to and from different ecosystems, while maintaining slippage, liquidity pool balances, and transaction prices, Synapse uses a stableswap algorithm.

The Synapse ecosystem is made up of six parts: the Synapse Bridge technology, the cross-chain AMM, aggregative cross-chain communication, the SYN token, the Synapse Chain, and optimistic security approaches.

With Synapse’s generalized messaging system, any arbitrary data can be sent across chains in a secure and seamless way. Applications no longer have to be separately deployed across multiple blockchains; they can be deployed on a single chain and communicate with other chains to create the exact same user experience from one central application layer. Generic message passing also includes smart contract calls, enabling smart contracts on different chains to easily interoperate with one another.

Synapse Bridge allows users to seamlessly swap on-chain assets across 15+ EVM and non-EVM blockchains in a safe and secure manner. The bridge supports two types of bridging: Canonical Token Bridging — bridging of wrapped assets across chains; Liquidity-based Bridging — bridging of native assets across cross-chain stableswap pools.

Synapse Chain is an Ethereum-based optimistic rollup designed to serve as a sovereign execution environment for cross-chain use cases. Synapse Chain will offer developers a generalized smart contract interface for building natively cross-chain use cases by leveraging Synapse’s cross-chain messaging system. Applications built on Synapse Chain will be able to execute their business logic across any blockchain.

Synapse supports multiple EVM-compatible blockchains and is integrated with nearly 18 layer-1 and layer-2 chains, including Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Harmony, Avalanche, Polygon, Moonbeam, Fantom and BNB Chain.

JOE (JOE) is the native token of Trader Joe, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain that offers DeFi services, including swapping, staking and yield farming. The exchange has been growing rapidly, attracting over $4 billion in total value locked (TVL) since it was launched in June 2021. Trader Joe claims to take a community-first approach, and to prioritize innovation, speed and safety. It aims to provide a one-stop-shop DeFi experience and to integrate new products without compromising on security. To achieve this, Trader Joe has outlined an ambitious roadmap that focuses on token-holder growth. It plans to have improved staking, non-fungible-token (NFT) exchange listings, the collateralization of the JOE token, and leveraged trading –– all during 2021.

Convex Finance is a DeFi protocol that allows Curve liquidity providersto earn a share of trading fees on Curve without staking liquidity there. Instead, LPs can stake with Convex and receive boosted CRV and liquidity mining rewards. This provides CRV stakers with better capital efficiency and positions Convex Finance as an important player in the Curve wars.

Convex has entered a competitive race to obtain as much control as possible of the Curve Finance stablecoin exchange. The more CRV tokens a protocol has, the more influence it has over interest rates on Curve, which is the largest DEX in the world by TVL. Consequently, the “Curve wars” are an ongoing race for influence over what is probably the most important protocol in DeFi.

MAGIC is the utility token that connects gaming communities in the Treasure Metaverse: a decentralized NFT ecosystem which sits on Arbitrum, one of Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling solutions.

MAGIC is a cross-game currency that connects games, players, metaverses, and communities, all within Web 3.0. The token was launched in September 2021 so its community could buy and sell in-game NFTs on Treasure. It also acts as a reserve currency for Treasure’s metaverse.

Players can earn MAGIC tokens by gaming, mining, and participating in Bridgeworld, Treasure’s flagship game. Treasure now hosts twelve other games on its platform, some of which allow you to use and generate MAGIC tokens like in Bridgeworld. These include Beacon, a free-to-play fantasy action rogue-lite RPG; and Realm, a world-building and exploration game.

Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum staking pool offering up to 4.33% APR for ETH2 staking. Users can join the Rocket Pool with its decentralized node operator network or run their own nodes with only 16 ETH. In the latter case, they can earn a commission from staking ETH and earn additional RPL rewards from providing RPL collateral, amounting to up to 6.36% APR for ETH and the additional RPL rewards.

Rocket Pool provides liquid staking, meaning users benefit from an increasing exchange rate instead of adding on to their initial staked collateral, which would be a taxable event. Furthermore, Rocket Pool offers smart nodes: a custom node software allowing anyone to run a node on its network. With losses from bad nodes distributed across the network, individual users minimize their risk of facing penalties. This is supported by the pool’s open-source and audited smart contracts, which guarantee fully non-custodial staking and a maximum degree of decentralization.
