Send In the Clowns! The CIRCUS Token Comes to Proton

Pardon me, did I say “Proton?” I’m sorry, it’s actually called XPR Network now. One of the strengths of the XPR Network community has always been its chaotic cast of entertaining characters and zany personalities. Many have come and many have gone, and most have been banned from official XPR channels, while some remain to …

Brother, Can You Spare a Meme Token? There’s Always a Market for BEGGARS

Wherever you find communities of crypto traders, you’re bound to encounter beggars: those annoying, panhandling mfs that consistently flood the chat with off topic pleas like “can you help me out, bro?”, “please send me some tokens?” and “will someone buy my NFTs?” In every Discord or Telegram channel, there’s always at least one of …

MetSwap – A New Decentralized Swap Service coming to Metal?

Every major blockchain has at least one standalone DEX/swap site that lets people trade tokens on that particular chain. Ethereum has Uniswap. Polygon has QuickSwap. BSC has PancakeSwap. Fantom has SpookySwap. Cardano has SundaeSwap. Avalanche has Trader Joe. Algorand has Tinyman. Heck, even Oasis has YuzuSwap. It looks like Metal blockchain will soon have MetSwap. …

Snipverse – The Social Hotspot for All Things Crypto

One of the flagship apps in the Proton ecosystem, Snipverse (previously known as “Snipcoins”) is a niche social media platform dedicated entirely to crypto. It has been around for over a year already and is still thriving. The functionality of Snipverse lives up to what one has come to expect from products built on Proton. …

The Buck Starts Here – WebAuth Wallet Holds the Key to Proton’s Ecosystem Growth

In terms of user-experience, Proton’s WebAuth wallet is bar none the best wallet I’ve ever used in crypto. It’s lightning fast, efficient and almost totally bug free. The only other wallet (out of the many I experimented with) that’s comparably impressive is Algorand’s Pera Wallet. These days, I find myself using old standbys like MetaMask, …

Cheap Thrills With ProtonSpin, the Nifty New Prize Wheel From ProtonIND

If you’re like me, whenever you’re presented with a list of Proton block producers to choose from in WebAuth, you typically just pick the ones with cool or legit sounding names. It doesn’t seem to really make a difference whom you select, after all, since your choice doesn’t impact your staking rewards one way or …

Practical Matters – Why Artists Should Consider Minting Their NFTs on Proton ($XPR)

So, it’s tough to write about this topic, because I don’t want to seem like I’m knocking certain blockchains and their respective NFT platforms. For that reason, I’m going to be intentionally vague, and this article is mostly just going to be an expression of my own preferences, along with a brief explanation of why …

Proton Powers Up With Top-Tier Domain and New Whitepaper

Proton (XPR) has officially outgrown the ProtonChain.com domain name and has upgraded to Proton.org. For those of us who are veterans of the domain industry, this is fantastic news and an obvious indication of good things to come. I’ve said this a million times, but most projects in crypto use low quality domain names or …

Best in Show – A Brief Look at “PANTZO TopDog Finest,” a New NFT Collection on Proton

Created by two friends with contrasting styles and tastes, Pantzo TopDog Finest is a new NFT series minted on Proton (XPR). It’s described by its makers as “a handmade collection of unique, surreal 2D creatures that change the visual scene and affect the NFT space.” The Pantzos have a cool, strikingly colorful and casual appearance. …

Blockchain-Powered E-Commerce Platform “Storex” Poised to Launch on Proton

Try saying that five times fast! I confess I hadn’t heard of Storex until they recently conducted an airdrop of their token (STRX) to Proton holders. At the time, it was only tradeable on an exchange called Alcor (no relation to the cryonics facility that freezes human corpses). Then just yesterday Storex scored its highly …
