The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode

The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode

The post The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto has been shaky lately, but not all projects are feeling the heat the same way. While Bitcoin and other major coins have dipped, some GameFi tokens are quietly seeing more users and activity. These projects reward participation rather than just holding, blending fun with real utility. Even meme coins find their place when they offer tangible benefits. Pepenode takes this a step further by turning crypto earning into a game. Players can build, manage, and mine virtually without buying Pepe, Fartcoin, or other tokens. Its presale has already raised $2 million, and the next price increase happens in under 48 hours, giving early supporters a chance to secure tokens at a lower rate. With the official launch approaching, Pepenode is quickly emerging as one of the most engaging ways to earn crypto today. Source – Cryptonews YouTube Channel How Pepenode Turns Mining Into a Game Pepenode allows users to build and manage virtual server rooms where nodes act as the core mining units. Players start with a limited number of nodes and can upgrade, merge, or trade them to increase mining efficiency. Each node generates rewards not only in Pepenode tokens but also in other cryptocurrencies, providing multiple streams of income. Unlike traditional mining, Pepenode is fully virtual. Users do not need expensive hardware or worry about electricity costs. Nodes can be strategically arranged to optimize output, and identical nodes can be merged to make space for additional units. A dedicated marketplace also lets players buy, sell, or trade nodes, creating an ecosystem similar to NFT-based platforms. Early Participation Offers Unique Advantages The Pepenode presale is organized in multiple rounds, with token prices increasing after each stage. Early supporters can secure tokens at a lower rate, currently priced at $0.0011546, with the next price increase expected within 48 hours.…

Arthur Hayes Sells Millions in ETH While Tapzi Surges as Top GameFi Crypto

Arthur Hayes Sells Millions in ETH While Tapzi Surges as Top GameFi Crypto

The post Arthur Hayes Sells Millions in ETH While Tapzi Surges as Top GameFi Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Crypto faces uncertainty as Tapzi gains traction, Hayes sparks sell pressure, and Render nears a key breakout point, standing out as the best altcoin to buy now. The crypto market experienced a sense of uncertainty throughout the week as traders responded to numerous events that created renewed uncertainty regarding near-term sentiment. Market observers paid attention to renewed selling pressure by major movers, falling altcoin strength, and repeated technical structures indicating potential trend changes in the future. These events unfolded while investors continued searching for the best altcoins to buy now with strong utility and sustainable growth. Hence, attention steadily shifted toward new crypto platforms that promise real adoption and lower speculation risk. Among these top crypto to invest in, Tapzi gained strong traction due to its focus on skill-based gaming and scalable ecosystem design. Besides that, Render formed a meaningful descending channel pattern that now sits at a critical stage. Consequently, traders faced a market filled with caution signals but also several targeted opportunities with long-term strength. Tapzi: A New Approach to Sustainable GameFi Growth Tapzi introduced a fresh model that aims to solve long-standing problems within GameFi. The project launched on BNB Smart Chain and focuses on skill-based competition instead of luck-driven rewards. Players enter head-to-head matches using staked TAPZI tokens and win based on pure performance. This creates a fair system that attracts competitive players instead of speculative farmers. The Tapzi price remains tied to demand from active players rather than inflationary incentives. This structure gives the token meaningful utility from the first day. Moreover, the project designed strict vesting schedules and a fixed supply of 5 billion TAPZI tokens. These measures ensure stability and prevent sudden dilution. The current presale price sits at $0.0035, while the launch price targets $0.01. This creates early-stage interest from…

Brazil Mulls Crypto Cross-Border Payment Tax

Brazil Mulls Crypto Cross-Border Payment Tax

The post Brazil Mulls Crypto Cross-Border Payment Tax appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Government officials told Reuters on Nov. 18 the move aims to close a regulatory loophole in forex transaction taxation. Central Bank published regulations Nov. 10 that classify stablecoin operations as foreign exchange transactions starting February. Crypto transactions reached 227 billion reais ($42.8 billion) in the first half of 2025, with USDT accounting for two-thirds of volume. Brazil is considering expanding its foreign exchange transaction tax to cover cryptocurrency use in international payments, government officials told Reuters on Nov. 18, as authorities seek to close a regulatory loophole in the country’s forex taxation system. The Finance Ministry is reviewing whether to apply the IOF tax to cross-border transfers using digital assets and stablecoins. The Central Bank classified these operations as forex transactions, according to Reuters’ exclusive report. The IOF (Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras) is Brazil’s tax on financial transactions, including foreign exchange. Crypto transactions are not currently subject to this tax, though investors must pay income tax on capital gains exceeding a monthly exemption. Understanding the Regulatory Gap The loophole exists because Brazilians can use stablecoins to access dollar-equivalent assets and make international payments without paying the IOF tax that applies to traditional forex operations. When users exchange reais for dollars through banks, they pay IOF tax rates ranging from 0.38% to 6.38% depending on the transaction type. Purchasing USDT to hold dollar-denominated value or sending stablecoins abroad currently avoids this taxation entirely. A Federal Police official told Reuters the tax gap enables customs evasion schemes. The official described patterns where importers might officially declare 20% of a machinery purchase value and route the remaining 80% through USDT transfers. This approach allows them to avoid both IOF taxes and import duties. The official estimated the government loses more than $30 billion in annual revenue from such practices. Market Scale…

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

Author: Zen, PANews Like leaves falling endlessly, the "death" of numerous projects is an inevitable stage in the industry cycle as it enters a downturn, something that practitioners have long been accustomed to. However, the announcement yesterday by the well-known decentralized application data platform DappRadar that it will cease operations still sent shockwaves through the entire industry. In less than 24 hours, DappRadar's announcement tweet had garnered over 1.6 million views. The phrase "Seven years later, it's time to say goodbye" evoked sadness, nostalgia, and a desire to offer help. CoinMarketCap CEO @RushCMC asked, "Is there any way to keep you here?" Many others lamented, "In a pure Web3 world, projects like DappRadar should be thriving." The "seven-year itch" is difficult to overcome; business shut down due to imbalance between income and expenditure. On November 17, 2025, DappRadar co-founders Skirmantas Januskas and Dunica Dragos announced on the social media platform X that they would be gradually ceasing their data tracking services for all blockchains and DApps over the next few days. They stated that they had tried various options in the past, but ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down the business. The two founders stated that in the seven years since its inception, the DappRadar platform has collaborated with hundreds of blockchains and thousands of projects. However, the platform's current scale and cost structure are no longer compatible with the market environment, and operating a platform of this size is financially unsustainable. To some extent, the massive data infrastructure built during the high traffic of the bull market has become a money-burning "burden" during the long bear market. Coupled with the lack of revenue channels, this has contributed to its current situation of being unable to make ends meet and becoming unsustainable. DappRadar has previously raised approximately $7.33 million in two funding rounds, including a $5 million Series A round in May 2021 led by Prosus Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Blockchain Ventures and others. During that period of cryptocurrency adoption and rampant speculation, these funds were used to expand data coverage and product functionality. Regarding the platform token, the DappRadar team adopted a gradual release strategy. Its native token, RADAR, initially had a relatively small circulating supply. Launched in December 2021, approximately 10.6% of the total supply was released by the end of 2023. However, after the beginning of 2024, the price of RADAR tokens generally declined continuously, falling far from its peak of $0.05, a drop of over 97% . RADAR token price chart, data source: CoinGecko Following the announcement of the shutdown, the price of RADAR plummeted by approximately 30% that day, reaching around $0.0006838 as of 7 PM Beijing time on November 18th. The team has not yet clarified the future arrangements for the RADAR token and DappRadar DAO, only stating that they will solicit opinions through community channels and announce their decision. Why is DappRadar's business model unsustainable? The financial unsustainability stems more from DappRadar's business model and revenue streams. As a data platform, the issuance and operation of the RADAR token is also part of its business model and is tied to user paid subscriptions. In 2021, when DappRadar issued its native token RADAR, it also launched the DappRadar PRO premium membership service. Compared to the basic features of the free version for regular users, PRO members can access exclusive data, customized alerts, advanced filtering, and other exclusive benefits. Unlike traditional paid subscription models, DappRadar PRO uses a token staking system: users must stake a certain amount of RADAR tokens to activate their membership, with a 30-day unlocking cooldown period. This design, on the one hand, promotes token demand, and on the other hand, incentivizes users to hold tokens long-term through a 15% annualized staking reward. This approach of linking advanced features with the token economy can theoretically drive token value growth through user holdings and staking. Targeting B2B clients, DappRadar primarily monetizes through advertising via its data community. Advertising formats include banner ads on its website, sponsored articles, social media promotions, co-hosting online events, email marketing, and sponsoring token airdrops, with varying pricing structures. During the industry's heyday, these revenue streams were substantial and constituted a significant portion of DappRadar's income. During a period of narrative failure and market downturn, DappRadar also experimented with launching other services to increase platform revenue. In May of this year, DappRadar also launched the DappRadar Premium subscription service for developers, which is charged per Dapp at $249 per project per month. Purchasing a premium subscription entitles users to greater exposure on project pages, priority review of submitted updates, more detailed monthly traffic and on-chain metric reports, and customized data dashboards. This model essentially charges projects a marketing and data analytics service fee, aiming to generate recurring revenue for the platform. Clearly, this measure proved ineffective, and six months after the launch of DappRadar Premium, DappRadar reached its end. Essentially, its meager revenue was inextricably linked to the decline of the very sector it chose to focus on. The Great Decline of GameFi and the NFT Industry Although DappRadar has been providing data on all categories of dApps, and its homepage navigation covers multiple categories such as DeFi, NFTs, Games, Tokens, and Exchanges, its brand influence and revenue opportunities are highly concentrated in the blockchain gaming and NFT sectors. During the previous bull market, its rankings, market data, and reports were frequently cited by the media, investors, and players. Especially in the blockchain gaming/GameFi sector, during the period when the P2E model maintained high activity, the DappRadar platform was favored for its comprehensive, accurate, and objective data, becoming a significant driver of its traffic growth. DappRadar has also remained true to its original mission, cultivating deep expertise in the gaming field for a long time, and its original content, such as blog posts and reports, is mostly related to blockchain gaming. Upon hearing the news of DappRadar's shutdown, Jihoz, co-founder of the well-known blockchain game Axie Infinity and the gaming public chain Ronin, expressed his deep sadness, saying that checking their game's ranking on the Ethereum leaderboard every day had become a daily habit. Even when Jihoz first met his future wife in 2019, he introduced her to her, saying, "Our game is ranked number one on DappRadar, with 200 daily active users." Another strength of DappRadar is its NFT market data tracking and ranking system, which is also a tool for many NFT players to learn about data when they first enter the field. NFT marketplace Element stated that DappRadar, as one of the most comprehensive NFT data platforms, has been used by them to track industry trends, and said, "DappRadar has always been a veteran in the cryptocurrency field, and it is a pity to see it come to an end." As the saying goes, "what goes up must come down." With the continued decline in the activity of NFTs and GameFi after 2022, project marketing budgets have shrunk, and user and media attention has decreased. DappRadar's two most commercially promising businesses have long since faded away. According to DappRadar's latest blockchain game report , the average daily active wallets for blockchain games in the third quarter were 4.66 million, a further decrease of 4.4% compared to the second quarter. In the first quarter of this year, there were 5.8 million, and the number has been slowly declining ever since. Furthermore, in the second quarter of 2025 alone, more than 300 Web3 games ceased updates or shut down, accounting for approximately 8% of the games listed on the platform. The NFT sector is also facing difficulties. According to CoinGecko data , the global NFT market capitalization plummeted by $3.5 billion in one month, from approximately $6.6 billion on October 5th, a drop of 45%. Even though sales increased in October, briefly pushing up the floor price of blue-chip NFTs, the market remains deeply sluggish. As a result, the disappearance of a large number of games and NFT projects and the continuous decrease in active players have led to a shrinking of the active ecosystem that platforms like DappRadar, which provide blockchain game and NFT data, can cover, and the external attention to the platform has also decreased accordingly. Finally, as DappRadar came to an end, many of the platform's longtime users began to realize—that it had such a difficult journey. This sense of loss and remembrance is both the highest respect for DappRadar and a poignant reminder of the industry's decline and dullness.

Brevis Launches ProverNet Whitepaper

Brevis Launches ProverNet Whitepaper

The post Brevis Launches ProverNet Whitepaper appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes ProverNet has processed over 250 million production proofs across integrations including PancakeSwap and Linea. BREV token serves as payment medium, staking collateral for provers, and governance token for protocol parameters. Brevis plans beta mainnet launch soon with simplified auction mechanics before full staking functionality. Brevis, a zero-knowledge verifiable computing platform, released the ProverNet whitepaper on Nov. 17, introducing a decentralized marketplace for proof generation that uses a Truthful Online Double Auction mechanism to match diverse proving workloads with specialized hardware operators. ProverNet coordinates proof generation through continuous auction rounds where requesters submit jobs with requirements and provers bid to execute them,  according to the whitepaper. The system supports zkVM execution and recursive aggregation. It also handles historical data attestations. Price discovery happens through the TODA mechanism, which evaluates cost and latency targets when matching jobs to provers. The protocol has processed more than 250 million production proofs, Brevis announced on X. Integration partners include PancakeSwap CAKE $2.35 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $788.88 M Vol. 24h: $103.39 M and Linea. PancakeSwap uses Brevis-powered hooks for volume-based fee discounts. Linea ran a 1 billion LINEA token distribution program using the platform’s proving infrastructure. Today we’re releasing the Brevis ProverNet whitepaper. The first decentralized marketplace for ZK proof generation, built from our experience after 250M+ production proofs across PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Euler, Linea, MetaMask, and so much more. Read the whitepaper here:… pic.twitter.com/agwld3f4la — Brevis (@brevis_zk) November 17, 2025 TODA Mechanism and Technical Architecture TODA handles heterogeneous proof workloads by treating different proof types as distinct auction categories, according to the blog post. The mechanism decomposes complex proving jobs into sub-tasks that different provers can handle collaboratively. The system guarantees truthfulness through incentive-compatible bidding. It maintains budget balance where fees cover payouts. Provers and requesters both avoid forced losses through individual…
