Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
If there’s one thing about 2020, it is that it has been a rough year thus far, to say the least. The first quarter of the year definitely put everybody on an emotional rollercoaster, making people anticipate what else could possibly go wrong. While we don’t want to know the answer to that, new things just happen every day. But instead of focusing on the ugly parts of the bigger picture, let’s try looking at the bright side of things. This year, there are still projects we can look forward to like up-and-coming blockchain projects. These projects are worth the anticipation because they have so much in store for those who want to take part in them.
Fight to Fame
You might have heard about this blockchain project before. This reality TV show utilizes blockchain technology, along with sports and movies, to fast-track an average joe’s dreams to fame.
Fighters all around the globe are encouraged to register and take their chance on becoming Hollywood’s next superstar. Those who make it past registration will be subjected to several assessments and training to enhance their skills and make them worthy of the title.
To apply blockchain technology, the show has its own cryptocurrency—also known as the Fight to Fame Action Star Championship Series Cards—that viewers can use to purchase access to exclusive events and support their favorite contestants.
For the past few weeks, the team behind Fight to Fame has worked day in and day out to establish bases in several countries. It established partnerships with countries and recruited ambassadors to forward its cause.
Today, several big personalities are part of the team and are all working towards making the show very successful not just in sports but also in Hollywood.
With this project, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency can be introduced to the general public with ease and without much confusion. You can follow Fight to Fame on Medium to learn more about the project.
Ocean Protocol
Over the years, gaining access to important data has proven to be quite an obstacle course for the average person. If you’re not paying for a huge lump sum of fees, you’re subjected to various taxing and tedious processes that last a few months up to a year.
One blockchain project plans to change that—Ocean Protocol.
To give a background, Ocean Protocol is a service layer that’s tokenized to expose data, store, compute, and make algorithms for consumers. This comes with a set of proofs on availability and integrity that also serve as service agreements.
Ocean Protocol was pre-launched back in March 2018 where they were able to set their goals and conduct two tech releases. Furthermore, they released their first testnet, Plankton, in August that same year.
In 2019, they planned to have case-specific Marketplaces with the project’s collaborators and have a second web integration that will finalize access and integration to Azure, AWS, etc. all these plans will be executed this year.
Once this project succeeds, people will now be able to access important data that were only limited to the reach of those who could afford it. Of course, security and integrity is guaranteed since it’s a blockchain project.
Medicalchain
Medicalchain is a London-based startup that promises to provide a decentralized, secure platform where people can exchange and use their personal medical data.
Considering that the medical field has been digitalizing its records over the past few years, this project will greatly benefit the patients and organizations involved. Through blockchain technology, patients can securely store and update their medical records from time to time.
With that being said, patients can easily share their medical records to healthcare professionals with each and without the fuss of going through other medical records. This is also beneficial for healthcare professionals since they can access updated and secured data easily and directly from patients.
It’s quite known that checking medical records can be time-consuming, even when everything’s on computers. This project will save precious time and make the task less daunting.
Key Takeaways
The year may not have started well but there are still a couple of things to look forward to. Up-and-coming blockchain projects are just some of the things that you can look forward to.
Some of these projects bring convenience and efficiency, while some promise a shortcut to stardom. Whatever the project may be, these projects are definitely worth keeping track of.
