NEW BLOCKCHAIN MESSENGER, NESTREE: THE GAME CHANGER APPEARED

Nestree successfully launched its dApp and users are now joining the communities in the messenger

SINGAPORE, June 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- New interactive communities in messengers are exploding in popularity across the world. Group chats are extremely accessible and easy to create, allowing participants to communicate in real time. Facebook Messenger has more than 2.5 million new group conversations every day, and Telegram Messenger has millions of group conversations with more than 30,000 people.

However, attracting new members and maintaining a group chat is difficult for community admins because of the passive nature of participants. Moreover, the business model of currently existing messengers is traditional. Advertisers must be sought out externally and community members do not get any rewards for their participations.

An advanced community messenger, Nestree, was developed to solve the above problems. By utilizing blockchain technology, the new decentralized application (dApp) offers new types of interactive and rewarding activities between users, admins, and advertisers.

The main feature, ‘Invitation Rewards’, is to provide rewards to the members who invite others to the community. It resulted in a rapid increase in members of communities. Within 24 hours of the application launching, Nestree gathered around 3,000 initial users and thousands of users are now voluntarily inviting other friends to join various communities.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- Virgin Hyperloop One (VHO) is currently showcasing its industry-leading technology at the ‘Hyperloop On The Hill’ event in Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. to members of Congress and federal stakeholders.

The world’s only hyperloop company to successfully test its technology at scale, continues to broaden support of revolutionary transportation technology globally.

The company’s demonstration focuses on a new mode of transportation that will change the movement of passengers and cargo in a safe, sustainable and efficient way.

Virgin Group founder, Richard Branson said: “We are seeing growing interest and excitement in the hyperloop vision from across the United States (US), Europe and India at both local and federal level.”

This summer, VHO will travel across the US to showcase its XP-1 vehicle, connect with communities and educate local and state governments on the tangible benefits of hyperloop.

VHO’s technology would transport passengers and goods three times as fast as high-speed rail and enable regional cities to connect just as local city subways connect neighbourhoods.

Metronome unveils cross-blockchain token transfer capability

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- Metronome, a wholly autonomous cryptocurrency has initiated the first-of-its-kind transfer of MET tokens from one blockchain to another – Ethereum ($ETH) to Ethereum Classic ($ETC).

The chainhop feature advances the vision of a built-to-last cryptocurrency which is available to all Metronome users, representing a significant step in how the financial and technology industries could approach cryptocurrencies as an enduring asset class.

The cryptocurrency-to-native-blockchain relationship potentially jeopardises the safety of one’s digital assets as it is wholly dependent on the stability of the community that maintains the currency and its blockchain, according to a statement.

With the introduction of Metronome’s chainhop capability, the Metronome team shows it is possible to maintain user’s holdings in a cryptocurrency and choose the blockchain ledger that most suits one’s requirements for stability and governance.

The cross-chain capability is available via the Metronome desktop wallet (Windows, MacOS, and Linux), as well as the mobile wallets for iOS and Android, while for developers, all components are available on GitHub.
