THE WOLF OF WALL STREET FILM TO LAUNCH NFT OFFERING, POWERED BY AVENTUS

To celebrate the film’s 10-year anniversary, Aventus has partnered with The Wolf of Wall Street’s rights holders to produce historical collection of NFTs

LONDON, April 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aventus, a Web3 solutions provider for enterprises, has partnered with the film rights holders for The Wolf of Wall Street and world-leading film producers and editors to create The Wolf of Wall Street Experience: a series of NFT drops which will also act as a key to unlocking wider parts of the experience.

With a worldwide box office of almost $400M, five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, and a Guinness World Records entry for most swearing in a film, The Wolf of Wall Street’s impact on popular culture remains steadfast almost a decade after its release, with memes of the film continuing to generate millions of uses.

The Wolf of Wall Street Experience will give fans of the film and Web3 enthusiasts access to exclusive content, rewards, and experiences via a series of limited NFT drops. The NFTs will contain exclusive assets from the film, including new angles of iconic scenes, as well as authentic outfits worn by the cast, props and other memorabilia. In addition, real-life and virtual experiences will take place, including a Hollywood-style celebration of the anniversary this December.

The launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2023, with additional benefits for early participants of the community. More information can be found on the official website: www.wolfofwallstreet.io.

The NFTs will be created by the carbon neutral Aventus Network, which is a layer 1 (parachain) on Polkadot – meaning the project will leverage the full benefits of the Polkadot ecosystem, including enhanced scalability, speed, interoperability and security. It also means NFT holders will be able to leverage the full benefits of interoperability across more than 50 blockchains, including Ethereum.

Alan Vey, Founder & CEO at Aventus, commented: “The Wolf of Wall Street is one of the most iconic films across not only popular culture more broadly, but specifically within the blockchain community. We’re thrilled to be able to bring this film to Web3 and to be a part of a historic moment for the industry as blockbuster becomes the latest sector to realise the benefits of NFTs in community building and engagement.”

Gavin Wood, Founder of Polkadot & Ethereum, added: “Polkadot’s parachain ecosystem aims to help blockchains achieve their objectives by providing enhanced scalability, security and interoperability, and it’s wonderful to watch Aventus leverage this support to enable this truly groundbreaking project.”

ROCK SPACE LAUNCHED INNOVATIVE NEW PRODUCTS FOR "CELLPHONE BEAUTIFY CUSTOMIZATION"

Sweegen Sweetensify Flavors Fuelled By Sweet Protein Technology

KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 (Bernama) -- Global sweetness and flavour innovator, Sweegen has launched Sweetensify Flavors, its newest flavour tool for food and beverage producers, to create better-for-everyone products.

Powered by Sweegen’s novel sweet protein technology that includes brazzein, thaumatin II and other unique proteins, Sweetensify Flavors improve and modulate sweet flavour, creating a sugar-like experience, thereby pushing the boundaries of healthier product innovation.

Sweegen vice president of global innovation, Casey McCormick said Sweetensify Flavors will change how product developers think about reducing or eliminating sugar in beverages and foods.

“The flavour expression enabled by Sweetensify Flavors optimises the sensory experience and enables a more sugar-like taste. It is substantially better than any previous technology. We target taste receptors on a biochemistry level that others simply cannot.

“Our product development teams are finding incredible synergies between Sweetensify Flavors and Sweegen’s state-of-the-art stevia systems. Ultimately, our solutions challenge the taste and cost of artificial sweeteners currently on the market,” he said in a statement.

The entire collection of Sweetensify Flavors has a wide range of benefits across sweet and savoury applications, including enhancing flavour tonalities, blocking bitterness, reducing astringency and sweet linger, eliminating unwanted aftertastes and reducing sugar use.

Sweegen’s Sweetensify Flavors debuts brazzein, the company’s highly sought-after sweet protein, as well as thaumatin II. At the time of the Sweetensify announcement, Sweegen’s thaumatin II received the Flavor Extract Manufacturer’s Association (FEMA) GRAS status.

Sweet proteins like brazzein have an affinity for different taste receptors on the tongue, especially the receptor known as T1R3, which is associated with both umami and sweetness perception.

Leveraging this unique attribute, Sweetensify Flavors will enable product developers to reduce the amount of sugar they use in products while maintaining the quality of characteristic flavours and sweetness.

Sweetensify Flavors are available for use in countries that allow flavours approved by the FEMA GRAS protocol and the company plans to expand its global availability rapidly.

POWER CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION OF CHINA HELPS VIETNAM TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN SEA WIND POWER

BEIJING, April 10 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) is proud to announce the completion of the hoisting of all fans in Area 1A of the Ca Mau 1 Wind Power Project located in Ca Mau, the southernmost province of Vietnam. As the largest offshore wind power project in Southeast Asia with a total installed capacity of 350 MW, the Project is divided into four wind farms: A, B, C, and D.

Located in Ca Mau Province, which faces the sea on three sides, with a 307-kilometer-long coastline, the Ca Mau 1 Wind Power Project boasts unique advantages in terms of sea wind power generation. Once completed, the Project will add 1.1 billion KWH of new power generation every year, saving about 450,000 tons of standard coal and reducing about 880,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This will significantly improve the power shortage situation in the local and even the whole southern Vietnam region.

In this project, POWERCHINA initiated the double-deck sea transportation equipment for offshore wind power tower barrels, putting an end to the long-time dependence on single-deck sea transportation for tower barrels that measure more than 5 meters in diameter. This innovation has successfully raised the maximum stacked height of wind power tower barrel for international sea transportation from 10 meters to 14 meters, and the maximum stacked weight from 100 tons to 240 tons, which effectively saved ship deck area and reduced transportation costs.

In addition to the Vietnamese Ca Mau 1 Project, POWERCHINA has also participated in the construction of the 171MW offshore wind power project in Soc Trang and Bac Lieu, and the 310MW offshore wind power project in Binh Dai in Vietnam. In July 2022, POWERCHINA signed a new contract on the Wind farm project in Kai long-Ca Mau Tourism Zone in Vietnam. These moves have injected strong impetus into Vietnam's efforts to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, diversify its energy sources and achieve sustainable socio-economic development.
