Baking Soda Labs Launches Web3 Platform Turning Engagement into Rewards

Published

on

Auckland, New Zealand, 4th November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Baking Soda Labs (BSL) has unveiled a new platform to change how startups and content creators engage with their audience. The project offers members the opportunity to earn token rewards by simply supporting and promoting startups on social media.

BSL will focus on AI, DeFi, Gaming, RWA, Layer 1 and Layer 2 projects below $100 million in market capitalization. This team is motivated to help startups reach success with the use of memes, NFTs and token rewards.

Game-Changing New Platform for Launching Web3 Startups

Baking Soda Labs is launching as a platform combining meme culture with startup tokens. It’s a brand new way to support promising startups and content creators. They focus on 3-4 startups per sector, such as AI, DeFi, and Gaming. 

These startups are either revenue-generating or have a market cap under $100 million. BSL is experimenting with meme coins by partnering with one team at a time and pairing them with 50+ startups. If these coins help startups grow, they will integrate them into their ecosystem or hold them in their long-term treasury. 

To further incentivize users, Baking Soda Labs offers an NFT rewards program. This way, users can receive up to 10x more rewards and access exclusive tools such as the Bulk Token Send tool. 

Why Baking Soda Labs Stands Out: Benefits and Features You’ll Love

With all the hype going on around Baking Soda Labs, what is really in store according to this team’s plans? 

First, the project is launching the DGNB meme token in 2025, which will go live on major exchanges. The token has deflationary characteristics to provide value for its holders. BSL collaborates with other startups to help them bootstrap their products and services by pairing these with the DGNB token.

Next in line, the team has introduced “Degens on Base” – the project’s NFT collection, live on OpenSea. These NFTs will grant their members privileges like receiving more rewards and special access to premium products and services. Without spoiling too many details, part of this collection will go toward high-impact charities through the Sharely network.

But there’s more: the list of perks goes on to include the Baking Soda Labs decision to reward its community members with tokens. The holders of Degens on Base NFTs will have free access to the array of BSL-built tools. These features can enhance their experience and motivate them to be part of the BSL community.

The project also features a Token Send Tool, which is accessible to BSL users only. The idea here is to grant the community low cost, unconstrained token transfers to the crypto community at large or exclusively to BSL members. 

About Baking Soda Labs

Baking Soda Labs is a community-driven platform that empowers startups and content creators with the latest web3 tools. With BSL, members can effortlessly earn token rewards by sharing their favorite startups on social media. They can also support these startups by testing products and providing valuable feedback. 

By spotlighting projects like Synesis One, an AI project using a Train2Earn model, BSL is really embracing new trends.

With our exclusive NFT collection on OpenSea and the exciting 2025 debut of the DGNB token, Baking Soda Labs is setting the stage for a groundbreaking journey. Ready to earn tokens and unlock new opportunities? Join us and be part of a thriving community that’s redefining innovation.

Six Years of Rapid Growth: Achievements and Future Prospects of Astana Hub

Published

on

Astana Hub, the largest international technology park in Central Asia, has been a key driver of growth and innovation in the tech industry across the region for six years. Since its official launch on November 6, 2018, the park has built a vibrant ecosystem that supports startups and fosters economic growth and technological advancement in Kazakhstan. With the support of Kazakhstan’s Head of State, the Government, especially the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry, as well as strategic partners, Astana Hub has made significant progress in establishing a dynamic environment for tech businesses.

Ecosystem and Infrastructure: Since 2018, the number of companies participating in the tech park has expanded from 185 to 1,571 companies, including 430 foreign members. These companies have collectively created more than 28,000 jobs. Astana Hub offers startups a range of resources, including tax incentives, streamlined labor and visa processes, and access to office and residential spaces—all of which contribute to the rapid growth of Kazakhstan’s tech community. The tech park also hosts offices for major international companies, including Playrix, TikTok, inDrive, EPAM, Glovo, DAMUMED, Presight.ai, and others.

Revenue and Export Growth: Since its inception, the total revenue of Astana Hub residents has reached $1.9 billion, rising from $35 million in 2019 to $875 million by 2023, with a forecast of $1.147 billion for 2024. The export of services by Astana Hub participants has also grown significantly: over the past four years, export revenue has totaled $630 million, and by the end of 2024, cumulative tech exports over five years are expected to surpass $1 billion.

Attracting Investments: Over the past six years, Astana Hub startups have attracted $665.5 million in investments, significantly bolstering Kazakhstan’s tech ecosystem and enabling projects to reach global markets. Among the promising startups scaling internationally are CerebraAI, CodiPlay, Parqour, ApartX, Kwaka, Biometric, Beksar, Alaqan, Zypl.ai, ZebraEye, Arlan Biotech, and others.

Key Startup Support Programs: Astana Hub supports startups at every stage of development through programs such as Scalerator, Techpreneurs, Startup Garage, and Global Outsourcer. A flagship initiative, the Silkway Accelerator, developed in partnership with Google for Startups, helps startups expand into international markets. From over 1,300 applications, 62 startups from Central Eurasia have successfully completed the program, reaching a combined valuation of $430 million and raising $27 million in the UAE, Turkey, and the US. Another notable program, Hero Training, run in collaboration with Draper University and supported by the World Bank, enables startups to scale in Silicon Valley. Among its 37 participants is CITIX, which attracted $1 million in funding from renowned venture investor Tim Draper.

Building Human Resources: The Tech Orda program is a leading initiative in tech education. Since its launch, over 9,000 Kazakhstanis have gained the opportunity to study tech specialties free of charge, with the goal of training 20,000 by 2025 through state funding of up to 600,000 tenge per student. Astana Hub also offers diverse educational programs, including Alem School, No Code/Low Code School, Startup School, Beta Career, Freelance School, IT-Aiel, and more. In July 2024, an online platform was piloted in 180 schools across Kazakhstan to teach programming fundamentals, where 120 trainers are currently instructing over 19,000 students in grades 10-11 through the No Code, Low Code, and Startup Academy programs.

Regional Development: Astana Hub is actively expanding its regional tech hubs, fostering local tech communities, and maintaining a steady flow of tech talent across Kazakhstan. Tech hubs now operate in 17 regions, with an 18th hub set to open by the end of the year. These centers play an essential role in Kazakhstan’s tech ecosystem, promoting digital skills and fostering local community growth. Since 2023, more than 1,600 events have been hosted at regional hubs, including seven global forums that brought together over 48,000 participants and showcased 440 startups, fueling the growth of tech education and creating new job opportunities.

Artificial Intelligence Initiatives: The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is a core priority for Astana Hub, evidenced by the launch of the AI Movement, a comprehensive program aimed at advancing AI in Kazakhstan. This initiative has already introduced several projects, including Tomorrow School—the country’s first AI school—the Decentrathon hackathon, AI People Bootcamp, the online course AI Basics: ChatGPT, and regional roadshows. These programs attract talented specialists and provide essential training opportunities in AI, laying the foundation for the National Center for Artificial Intelligence, scheduled to open in 2025.

Key Goals: Astana Hub remains dedicated to fostering an ecosystem that supports startups and drives the digitalization of Kazakhstan’s economy. The hub has set ambitious targets to increase tech service exports to $1 billion by 2026 and to raise Kazakhstan’s first unicorn by 2027.

Stride Exchange Founder Robert Govan Launches Digital Financial Mutual Aid Initiative to Support Business Development

Published

on

Stride Exchange today announced the launch of its “Digital Financial Mutual Aid Initiative.” The program will leverage the group’s expertise in financial technology and artificial intelligence to provide free financial literacy training and entrepreneurship guidance to small business owners, marking a significant strategic move in the company’s digital financial education sector.

Austin.Texas, United States, 8th Nov 2024 – Stride Exchange today announced the launch of its “Digital Financial Mutual Aid Initiative.” The program will leverage the group’s expertise in financial technology and artificial intelligence to provide free financial literacy training and entrepreneurship guidance to small business owners, marking a significant strategic move in the company’s digital financial education sector.

In an exclusive interview with a financial magazine, Stride Exchange founder Robert Govan stated, “Too many people miss out on life opportunities due to a lack of basic financial knowledge. I believe financial education isn’t just about personal wealth—it’s about social equity.” This conviction has driven his commitment to education. Under Govan’s leadership, Stride Exchange has supported numerous underprivileged students in completing their education, with 40% choosing finance-related majors.
“Professional financial education shouldn’t be a privilege for the few,” says Paul Reynolds, General Counsel of Stride Exchange’s Education Center. From establishing Stride Exchange to recent deep developments in digital financial education, Govan has consistently pursued his vision of making financial knowledge accessible to more people.

Notably, while advancing education, Govan’s team has been actively exploring the application of digital technology in financial education. The Stride Exchange AI Education Center, established in 2022, exemplifies this approach. According to Monica Heath, Deputy Chief Investment Officer of the center, they provide personalized learning solutions globally through AI technology, with special attention to educational needs in underdeveloped regions.

“Technological innovation should serve educational inclusion,” says Richard Waddington, Chief AI Investment Officer at Stride Exchange. “By applying AI technology to education, we aim to break geographical barriers and make quality financial education resources accessible to more people.” Since its establishment, the AI Education Center has benefited learners from 36 countries, with users from developing countries accounting for over 60%.

Beyond education, Govan’s team actively participates in social welfare initiatives. Stride Exchange provides disaster relief through innovative blockchain technology and supports the construction of medical facilities in various regions.

“The ultimate goal of finance is to improve people’s lives,” explains Michael Cudlitz, Director of Stride Exchange Trading Academy. Under his guidance, Stride Exchange has established partnerships with multiple universities to jointly develop financial curricula.

In environmental protection, Stride Exchange maintains ongoing commitment. Brian Caniff, Head of Investment Research at Stride Exchange AI Education Center, states: “Environmental protection and sustainable development are issues we must address head-on. We hope to inspire more institutions to focus on this area through practical action.”

“Through a series of in-depth professional courses and high-level lectures, we provide insights into environmental, social, economic, financial, and corporate sustainability,” Govan explains. “Many small business owners lack professional management knowledge, which seriously constrains their development. Through this project, we hope to help them establish modern financial awareness and better manage and develop their businesses.”

Stride Exchange plans to further expand its educational philanthropy footprint, particularly in digital financial education. Govan notes, “In the digital economy era, we aim to help more people master financial knowledge and enable them to participate in the digital economy.”

About Stride Exchange: Stride Exchange is a leading digital financial services platform committed to providing high-quality financial education resources and services globally through innovative fintech and AI technologies. The company’s mission is to make financial education accessible to all through digital means, promoting development and innovation in financial education.
