China Telecom, 2nd largest wireless carrier in China 🇨🇳 (390+ million mobile subscribers), has partnered with Conflux to develop Blockchain-enabled SIM cards - BSIM!

The Web3 product will be the largest blockchain hardware product ever seen globally, involving the most users and applications. China Telecom will launch the first BSIM pilot program in Hong Kong later this year.

The BSIM card integrates Conflux’s Tree-graph, dual proof-of-stake, and proof-of-work technology, enabling the highest system performance for any blockchain in the world. With this initiative, we're looking forward to lowering the barriers to entry for Web3 and the Metaverse.

The BSIM card will manage and store the user's public and private keys in the card and carry out digital signatures in a way that the private key does not exit the card. The BSIM card can also allow encrypted storage, key retrieval, and other operations.

The R&D phase for the BSIM card is complete - and it's connected to Conflux’s main network in testing! This prototype has storage & sending functions for digital assets.

Abu Dhabi’s Launch of ‘Hub71+ Digital Assets’ Opens up TON Foundation Ecosystem to $2 Billion Start-Up Hub

Today, the TON Foundation has opened up its ecosystem to start-ups and investors based at Hub71+ Digital Assets, an Abu Dhabi-based Web3 specialist ecosystem with more than $2 billion of capital to deploy.

The hub is officially backed by Mubadala, the UAE’s $284 billion sovereign fund, ADGM, the region’s financial regulator, Abu Dhabi Investment Office and First Abu Dhabi Bank, which is owned by the sovereign.

What this collaboration means to the TON community

1. Hub71+ Digital Assets will give priority access to the pool of capital available to TON-based projects put forward by TON Foundation.

2. The collaboration with Hub71+ Digital Assets will cement TON Foundation’s position among regulators and key stakeholders in the emerging digital economy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), enhancing opportunities for it to engage in consultation and licensing initiatives.

3. Start-ups based at Hub71+ Digital Assets will have the opportunity to apply for funding with the $250 million TONcoin.Fund.

This collaboration is unprecedented, combining the only blockchain that can leverage a 700 million+ user base with a major ‘regulated’ hub for capital in the emerging Web3 economy.

Notably, the UAE’s Digital Economy Strategy aims to double the contribution of the digital economy to non-oil GDP to more than 20 per cent within 10 years. TON’s innovative technology and its growing community will play a pivotal role in this roadmap and help make this vision a reality. Our entire community will undoubtedly be thrilled to hear today’s news.

We're thrilled to announce that PlayZap has hit a major milestone - 100,000 players! 🎉🚀

Thanks to the amazing support of our users, we've achieved this incredible feat and we couldn't be more grateful😊

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our support for Yield Guild Games to further develop its soulbound reputation token. 

We believe that #blockchain has the potential to transform the #gaming industry by enabling players to own their own assets and earn #rewards.

Through YGG’s partnerships with #NFT games and ecosystems like Axie Infinity, The Sandbox and League of Kingdoms, the guild is at the forefront of blockchain-based game economies.

Our goal is to support YGG and help the guild expand its offerings such as the Guild Advancement Program to connect even more players and provide them with an opportunity to participate in a #decentralized gaming ecosystem and get rewarded from their gaming activities.
