Singapore, Singapore Jun 3, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Following deliberations by an international panel of expert judges, the MAIAs are proud to announce the winners, runners-up, and special commendations for this year’s Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards.

Said co-founder Michael Gilmore, “With a record number of entries from 35 different countries this year, it’s clear how important learning about money is becoming to everybody in all corners of the planet. We had winning entries from New Zealand to the UK to the USA, and incredibly strong entries from Spain to Colombia and from Vietnam to Morocco. Poor financial literacy is a truly global problem, and we are finding answers all over the world.”

The number of winners increased from 16 last year to 17 this year, as the judges of the previously problematic “Blockchain Education” category finally found an entry they believed worthy of scoring top points, submitted by Aflatoun International, a global NGO based in the Netherlands.

There was once again a tie in the book category, and once again between books from the UK and Australia, with London-based financial therapist Vicky Reynal’s “Money on Your Mind” sharing the spoils with Australia’s Ana Kresina’s “Kids Ain’t Cheap“. The judges were also very pleased to award “Wellness Financiero” by Jordi Martinez-Llorente, the first non-English language book the MAIAs has judged, a special commendation.

Other notable winners include the Financial Times’s Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign, FT FLIC, in the hotly-contested “Non-profit for school-age” category, for its work at the City of London Academy, and MyBnk for “The Money House Glasgow”.

The importance of financial literacy and inclusion to emerging economies also shone through as South East Asia boasted three winners, Braden Cobb from Singapore along with Finco and MADCash from Malaysia, the latter being the only project this year to win two categories. Veronica Frisancho from Peru also won the best academic paper category with her incredibly powerful work looking at how teaching about money in school can improve the financial literacy of parents!

Other stand-out winners include:

  • “It’s Not About the Money” podcast, by Jenny Rolfe-Wallace in Australia was the strongest “financial influencer” entry
  • Project Ikuna in New Zealand was the best non-profit project for adults
  • The for-profit categories were won by Squirrel Education from the United Arab Emirates, Wealthbrite by Carla Hoppe from the UK, and Gimi from the Netherlands

MAIA co-founder Trudi Harris, who has held senior roles in marketing communications for over twenty years, said “While the standard of entry continues to improve and impress the judges, what is also really encouraging is the range of people entering, from individual teachers developing ways to teach their classes about money, to household names like the Financial Times. At the MAIAs, we have always said that if we are to make money better, everyone needs to be invited, and that is what we are seeing.”The MAIAs judges congratulate all awardees for their hard work, persistence, innovation, and commitment to changing the world.

Coin Captain Introduces Innovative Play-to-Earn Platform in the TON Ecosystem

Coin Captain (@CoinCaptainAnn) has released its eagerly-awaited game on the Telegram platform and has integrated a completely new ‘Spin to Airdrop’ mechanism for the TON community fans. Still, this relatively new addition to the play-to-earn genre already has more than 810,000 users and is rapidly closing in on the 1m+ mark within the blockchain games space.

The central mechanism of the Coin Captain app is the Lucky Wheel within which players use spin energy to receive gold coins and more spin energy. These gold coins serve a dual purpose: it also forms the basis of in-game money, currently defines who gets access to future token airdrops and brings an element of strategy into the game.

Key features of Coin Captain include:

  1. Lucky Wheel: Players spin to earn gold coins and spin energy.
  2. Treasure Boxes: Unlocked when the energy bar fills, offering rewards including cash prizes up to 500 USDT.
  3. Daily Tasks: Encourage regular engagement with rewards for actions like logging in and inviting friends.
  4. Automatic Energy Replenishment: The system provides spin energy every 10 minutes, ensuring continuous gameplay.
  5. Invite System: Players earn additional spin energy for each friend they bring to the game.

Coin Captain has formed strategic alliances within the crypto and gaming sectors to expand the game’s reach and offer additional value to players:

  1. Taptap_Pinky: A charitable initiative inspired by MrBeast, rewarding users for screen taps.
  2. Pumpad IDO: Offering potential access to $tBOL tokens for Coin Captain players.
  3. Sidekick: A Binance Labs-backed project focusing on social and gaming consolidation.
  4. Packet Gift: A social gifting platform that complements Coin Captain’s reward structure.

These collaborations aim to enhance the gaming experience and position Coin Captain at the intersection of gaming, social interaction, and charitable giving.

The development team has outlined a roadmap for the coming months:

  • Q1: Focus on basic game mechanics, daily rewards, and community building.
  • Q2: Introduction of the “Spin to Earn” feature and announcement of additional partnerships.
  • Q3: Implementation of an in-game wallet and the token airdrop (TGE).

Plans include more rewards for the Lucky Chest and time-limited events to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.

Since its launch, Coin Captain has seen growth in its community. The game’s official Telegram channel (@CoinCaptainAnn) and community group (@coincaptainofficial) have become active hubs, with players sharing strategies and discussing the game. The Twitter account (@coincaptain_ton) serves as a platform for announcements and community engagement.

The launching of Coin Captain brings them a new leap in combining blockchain technology with casual games. Using Telegram’s popularity, and the increased interest in the TON ecosystem, the Coin Captain wants to familiarize users with play-to-earn and blockchain gaming.

The case of the airdrops in the game and using the in-game performance as a qualifier would be a blueprint for the supply of tokens in the gaming industry. Unlike other models, this one promotes engagement, and practice, rather than guessing or speculation.

As Coin Captain ventures deeper into blockchain gaming, it takes a unique approach to how the ecosystem fosters interaction and incentives. Based on the landing page, the system’s interface, potential partnerships, and all the promises of actual earnings, Coin Captain is ready to provide solutions in the play-to-earn industry.

Players interested in joining Coin Captain can start by visiting the official Telegram bot: @CoincaptainGameBot.

About Coin Captain: 

Coin Captain is essentially a TELEGRAM-based P2E game that is centered in the TON blockchain. The idea of the Coin Captain is to combine the entertainment of “Spin to Airdrop” and partnerships with companies in the casual gaming business, based on its reliance on blockchain technologies.

Trivolve Tech and Quixy joins hands to Revolutionize Forensic Systems in India on Cardano

Published

By

Hyderabad, India, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Trivolve Tech, a blockchain and AI product studio and Quixy, a leader in no-code/low-code enterprise solutions, , have officially partnered to co-develop cutting-edge forensic management systems for state governments across India. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the handling and integrity of forensic evidence by integrating Cardano blockchain technology and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) into evidence management systems.

The project will initially focus on the Uttar Pradesh state government, which handles over one million forensic cases annually. The key objective is to enhance the forensic chain of custody—a process crucial for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of forensic evidence presented in court.

Addressing the Challenges in Forensic Evidence Management

Forensic departments in India face significant challenges in maintaining the chain of custody for evidence. Current centralized systems are vulnerable to tampering and unauthorized access, posing risks to the credibility of evidence in legal cases. The joint venture between Quixy and Trivolve Tech addresses these challenges by developing a decentralized solution leveraging Cardano’s smart contracts and Zero Knowledge Proofs. This approach ensures that every step in the chain of custody is immutably recorded on the blockchain, providing an unprecedented level of transparency and security.

Integrating Cardano Blockchain for Enhanced Security and Scalability

Cardano, one of the most decentralized and sustainable blockchain platforms, will be integral to the forensic management system through its cryptographic hashing. Cardano operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which makes it 99.99% more energy-efficient than Bitcoin and Ethereum. This sustainability, coupled with security, positions Cardano as an eco-friendly option for large-scale projects like this one.

Rahul Konudula, CEO of Trivolve Tech, commented, “By integrating Cardano blockchain with forensic management, we are providing a game-changing solution that improves transparency, accountability, and security for law enforcement agencies. This collaboration could set the standard for forensic evidence management across India’s 28 states and 8 union territories.”

About Quixy

Quixy is a no-code/low-code platform that helps organizations automate business processes and build enterprise applications faster with fewer resources. With over 26,000 no-code apps and 200,000 users, Quixy is one of India’s leading software companies.

About Trivolve Tech

Trivolve Tech is a product development studio solving real-world problems through Blockchain and AI. They integrate blockchain into enterprises and government operations, driving innovation and sustainable growth while enhancing liquidity by tokenizing Real World Assets.
