Coinbase-Backed DeSo SocialFi App Focus Raises $75 Million in One Week

Deso

Key Takeaways Focus, the revolutionary new decentralized SocialFi app, raised $75 million in one week Focus rivals subscription platforms like OnlyFans and Patreon, a multi-billion-dollar industry Users can reserve with DESO, BTC, ETH, and more to earn a 90% bonus in $FOCUS tokens for a limited time Focus, a new decentralized SocialFi app built on the DeSo blockchain, has made waves in the crypto industry by amassing over $75 million in token reservations within its first week of launch. This unprecedented achievement not only demonstrates the platform’s potential but also reflects the growing interest in decentralized social media. Focus (focus.xyz) is built by DeSo, the team that raised $200M from Coinbase, Sequoia, a16z, Polychain, and other top funds. It aims to disrupt the trillion-dollar social media market and creator economy by introducing groundbreaking features rivaling X, Onlyfans, and Patreon. The total addressable market for this sector is substantial, with OnlyFans projected to process approximately $8 billion in 2023 while charging a 20% transaction fee. These high fees significantly cut into creator profits, emphasizing the need for a fairer solution. Focus combines the best of Onlyfans, Patreon, X, and other billion-dollar social platforms into one app and features permissionless and anonymous crypto-native monetization features that are not possible in web2. Built on the Decentralized Social (DeSo) blockchain, Focus distinguishes itself with a unique approach to content ownership, creator monetization, and user engagement. In response to this overwhelming achievement, Nader Al-Naji, the Founder of DeSo and visionary behind Focus, shared his insights: “The response we’ve received is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a testament to the community’s belief in a decentralized future for social media. Our platform is not just about reshaping social media; it’s about empowering users and creators in a way that’s never been done before. This milestone is just the beginning of our journey towards a more decentralized social landscape.”– Nader Al-Naji, Founder of DeSo Focus’s mission extends beyond the realm of conventional social media. Focus aims to revolutionize the way we interact online by offering unprecedented monetization opportunities for creators, coupled with advanced AI tools, while also tackling the challenges of censorship and content authenticity. Thanks to the DeSo blockchain and its Revolution Proof of Stake system, Focus will support the storage of content directly on-chain for 1/10,000th of a cent per post, which is much less than Solana at ~$1 per post or Ethereum at ~$100+ per post. One of the key features attracting users to Focus is the opportunity to reserve $FOCUS tokens. This process is akin to staking, with a unique twist – users can reserve tokens using various supported currencies such as BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, and DESO. Focus allows anyone in the world to become an owner, even prior to the app launch. Imagine owning a piece of Meta or Twitter before it was even released. Users who participate in the early reservation period is able to buy $FOCUS tokens, and also receives an extra bonus equal to the amount listed, currently set at 90% and drops by 5% each week until the app launch. This is a benefit designed to reward early supporters and adopters of the platform. The reservation process is user-friendly and fully refundable, ensuring participants can confidently support the platform while maintaining financial flexibility. As Focus gears up for its app launch, the excitement within the community is palpable. With its innovative approach to tokenomics, Focus is poised to redefine the landscape of social media and cryptocurrency. To reserve tokens and earn a 90% bonus in $FOCUS, prospective users should visit Focus.xyz and reserve their funds before 11:11 am EST on February 8th. The bonus will drop every week until the app goes live. About Deso DeSo is the first and only censorship-resistant Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to power storage-heavy apps and scale decentralized social networks for mass adoption. Their mission is to decentralize social media like Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralizing finance. DeSo has gained significant adoption and boasts 2.6M users (wallets) and 93M transactions. With Focus, DeSo aims to usher in a new age in crypto led by cutting-edge consumer apps that scale to billions of users. Contact Details DeSo Foundation Ed Moss Ed@deso.org

Manganese X Energy Corp

Manganese X Energy Corp CEO Martin Kepman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share the news that the company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with C4V, a prominent US battery technology leader, which holds immense promise for a potential off-take agreement from Manganese X Energy Corp's Battery Hill High Purity Manganese project located in Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada. C4V, renowned for its leadership in renewable battery technology and its involvement in major Gigafactory developments worldwide, including those in Geelong, Australia, and the United States, has shown keen interest in the collaboration. This non-binding agreement is predicated on the possible supply of Electric Vehicle (EV) compliant High Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate, a sample of which is currently undergoing pre-qualification by C4V for use in their Gigafactory joint ventures. The sample in question was produced as part of Manganese X Energy Corp's Pilot Plant Project, which employs their patent-pending, groundbreaking manganese purification technology. This technology enables the transformation of Battery Hill manganese carbonate into Electric Vehicle compliant High Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HPMSM), serving as a precursor to the cathode in battery manufacturing. This strategic partnership holds the promise of playing a pivotal role in the supply chain for EV batteries, as high-purity manganese is a crucial component in the production of advanced batteries. The MOU represents a significant step forward in the company's quest to contribute to the growing electric vehicle industry while further solidifying its position as a key player in the renewable energy sector. The collaboration between Manganese X Energy Corp and C4V exemplifies their shared commitment to sustainable energy solutions and highlights the importance of securing a stable supply of critical materials for the EV revolution. As the pre-qualification process advances and the partnership takes shape, both companies are poised to make a lasting impact on the clean energy landscape by fostering innovation and the development of cutting-edge battery technology.

Energy Plug Technologies Corp secures first clean energy partnership with Ximen Mining

Energy Plug Technologies Corp

Energy Plug Technologies Corp CEO Broderick Gunning joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share details on a strategic partnership with Ximen Mining for a transformative two-phase clean power storage and generation project. This initiative is set to play a pivotal role in stabilizing, supporting, and powering the infrastructure of the Kenville mine, located in Nelson, British Columbia. Gunning explained that this collaborative effort will bring "green" infrastructure to Ximen, resulting in a significant reduction in the use of diesel fuel, leading to substantial cost savings on electricity bills. Energy Plug's cutting-edge Battery Energy Storage System will serve as a cornerstone for this endeavor, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during outages and contributing to a stable and efficient mining operation. The project is divided into two distinct phases, each with its own set of benefits. Phase One involves the installation of three 10kW lithium iron phosphate storage batteries, which will be seamlessly integrated with solar panels to provide power to three essential buildings on the site. This initial phase sets the foundation for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy ecosystem at the Kenville mine. Phase Two represents a significant leap forward in the project's scope. It encompasses the installation of a 1MW battery storage system meticulously designed to cater to the energy needs of large compressors, ventilation systems, and lighting across the entire mine site. Additionally, Phase Two incorporates the deployment of a 20kW riverside turbine for power generation, harnessing the natural flow of water as a renewable energy source. One notable aspect of this partnership is the company's ability to execute this project with its existing capabilities, foregoing the need for its proposed 100,000 sq ft. 10-gigawatt-hour facility, which was planned as part of a joint venture agreement with the Malahat Nation in British Columbia. This demonstrates Energy Plug Technologies Corp's commitment to delivering sustainable energy solutions efficiently and effectively. In summary, the collaboration between Energy Plug Technologies Corp and Ximen Mining heralds a significant step toward greener, more sustainable mining practices while ensuring cost-efficiency and uninterrupted operations. This innovative project sets an exemplary standard for environmentally conscious energy solutions in the mining industry and showcases the potential for clean power to revolutionize mining operations.
