Ferrari partners with blockchain firm Velas

Ferrari has signed a multi-year accord with blockchain firm Velas Network to create digital content for its fans.

⠀

Starting next season, Velas, a provider of digital products and services, will become a partner of Ferrari's Formula 1 racing team Scuderia Ferrari.

⠀

Velas will also be the main sponsor for the Ferrari Esports Series, the online mono-brand series of the Prancing Horse, and the Esports team that will compete in the F1 Esports Series.

In the announcement, Ferrari explained the reason behind the partnership. “A global player in the blockchain and NFT sector, Velas has distinguished itself through the performance and innovation of its services and its technological leadership, characteristics that unite it with the Maranello team.”

Commercial Bank of Dubai to launch NFT art exhibition

The Commercial Bank of Dubai is hosting an NFT art exhibition at its digital lab in DIFC.

⠀

In partnership with UAE-based NFT artist Amrita Sethi, the exhibition will show how the CBD has evolved over the last 50 years and emphasise how CBD will continue to lead the way for innovation of present and future generations.

⠀

In the exhibition, visitors will be able to scan the QR code embedded in the artwork to enable an augmented reality feature that lets them enjoy and “see sound” through Sehti’s art.

⠀

“We are delighted to celebrate the UAE’s historic Golden Jubilee by hosting a unique NFT art exhibition that speaks about the country’s remarkable rise and achievements in just half a century. Further, I am proud to be able to showcase CBD’s parallel growth over this same period. The UAE has taken great strides in becoming a global technology and innovation hub. CBD has supported, and will continue to support, the UAE on this journey,” said CBD CEO Bernd van Linder.

⠀

Each artwork will also come with its own digital twin NFT, making CBD one of the first banks in the world to have its own NFT.

Zoom acquires new broadcast tool for larger-scale events

Zoom has recently announced that they have acquired a Zoom-based broadcasting tool created by the startup Liminal.

⠀

The new tools created by Liminal are add-ons such as ZoomOSC and ZoomISO, which are built to create more professional-looking virtual events. The add-on tools will be integrated into the Zoom software when the company acquires Liminal.

⠀

ZoomOSC broadcast tool is designed to enhance professional meetings by utilizing its Open Sound Control protocol, which will enable its users to integrate third-party hardware, software, controls, and media server during a video conference. The ZoomISO tool will allow users to export each video conference participant's video feed as a separate output to professional production hardware.

⠀

Zoom has explained in a blog post that the acquired assets from Liminal will help Zoom bridge the gap between the traditional and emerging virtual event control tools that come in handy for broadcast studios, theatres, and other organizations that want to produce a professional-looking stream.

⠀

As of right now, there is no exact date when the new Zoom-based broadcast tools will be integrated into the video conferencing software.

Own and secure your crypto

If you’re into cryptocurrency and own crypto assets, you need a secure place to store your coins and tokens. You probably already know that you shouldn’t store your crypto on an exchange due to potential hacks, not being solely in control of your crypto’s private keys, and for other reasons, and so a hardware wallet is the way to go and the best option to protect your private keys, therefore, you should make the move to a Ledger wallet.

⠀

Ledger wallets are an extremely secure and premium way to secure, manage, and grow your crypto assets with their Bluetooth-enabled hardware wallets, and easy-to-use app which lets you manage your portfolio on the go. They let you manage multiple assets, buy, sell, grow, and exchange crypto, gain financial freedom by you being in full control and ownership of your private keys, and so much more.

⠀

The wallets are really simple to setup, and to move your crypto over to, so there’s no reason not to secure your assets and take control of your cryptocurrency now and get yourself a Ledger device. You can manage 1800+ coins and tokens directly in the Ledger Live app once you’ve got your device up and running, so you’ll always have your entire portfolio covered.
