Fishing and onion and garlic farming are the main livelihoods for the 22,000 people on the island, and of the 541-boat fleet, up to 70 vessels engage in offshore fishing near the Paracel and Spratly archipelagos.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Singapore-based global GameFi company Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd. (DEA), known for its leading GameFi platform PlayMining is pleased to announce the development of “SOUL Fusers”, a Web3 user-producer IP co-creation project with the aim of creating new IP in collaboration with user communities.

What is the Web3 User-Producer IP Co-Creation Project?
The Web3 IP Co-Creation Project is a project with the goal of “creating new IP together with the user communities”. “SOUL Fusers” has already started to invite users to create the original monsters or give their names in the Discord community and various other projects are scheduled to be implemented.

DEA is also planning to grant DEAPcoin as royalties to users who contribute to IP icreation and game development in various ways such as coming up with original monsters. DEA will continue to explore ways to create using tokenomics together with users.

The first step in IP development! Scheduled to launch in 2023 as a new game title for “PlayMining”
SOUL Fusers is a new type of Web3 game in which players acquire monsters called SOULs that live in a different world and battle against other SOULs. A SOUL has an underlying core and when SOULs engage in combat, their cores connect and influence each other. Users can participate in the game with SOULs of various natures and even win DEAPcoin depending on the results.

DEA has been collaborating with h.a.n.d., Inc., a development partner with a proven track record of delivering numerous game titles, and PreciousAnalytics, Inc., with extensive experience in numerical analysis and economy design for game titles, to launch a new game title for “PlayMining” in 2023 as the first step in the IP development.

Characters created by user submissions
Through this project, DEA will explore ways of IP creation in Web3 era and with the aim to build a society where anyone can become a creator, and to provide “fun” and “surprise” to users all over the world through various contents.

“SOUL Fusers” Producer & Development Director, DEA Chief Game Officer: Satoshi Araragi
“‘SOUL Fusers’ is a project to explore how to create new IP in the Web3 era. Everyone has experienced the act of writing down their own ideas of characters and stories on a notepad as a child. This is a world where these ideas actually take shape and are not just fantasies in our minds, but can be shared with many people and integrated into a single IP.

“This new attempt can only be started now that blockchain technology has developed, such as the issuance of NFTs and fair royalty payments in virtual currency. And we are proud to say that this can be realized with our company, which has been developing and managing content in the blockchain x entertainment field on the front line as an established business.”

The title “SOUL Monsters” has two meanings. One aspect is the worldview where Monsters called SOULs will connect or “fuse” with other SOULs and humans. And the other meaning is that everyone’s SOUL, who participates in this project will interact together, therefore each participant is a “Fuser”.

DEA has been collaborating with numerous creators but the next goal is to realize a world where everyone can exercise their own imagination and become creators themselves. One of the characteristics of the Web3 community is that anyone can join at any time and from any point in time!

DEA hopes that everyone will have fun with this new challenge!

Deriv X – a highly customisable CFD trading platform

South America, Asia, Africa, Sept. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Deriv Group Ltd, an international provider of trading platforms and services, has launched a CFD trading platform, Deriv X, a white-labelled version of DXtrade.

Deriv X, the newest addition to Deriv Group’s suite of trading platforms, was developed alongside Devexperts, a software provider for global financial companies, based on DXtrade, Devexperts’ SaaS trading solution.

The highly customisable Deriv X offers CFD trading on the most popular financial markets – forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Deriv has also incorporated its proprietary synthetic indices into the platform. These indices are available to trade 24/7 and mimic real-world market movements while remaining unaffected by political and economic events. Synthetic indices offer a different UX to clients and are based on a cryptographically secure random number generator and regularly audited by an independent third party for fairness. These unique features make synthetic indices one of the most popular trading instruments among Deriv’s clients.

Deriv X is also equipped with a wide range of trading tools, making the platform a great choice for beginners and professional traders.

Beginners can benefit from key features, including:

  • A customisable interface that allows traders to drag and drop widgets, creating unique layouts in multiple workspaces
  • An embedded trading journal and dashboard to store all logs and help track and analyse trading activity
  • A chart with 90+ indicators and 13 drawing tools to enable traders to analyse multiple trades simultaneously

While professional traders can also take advantage of:

  • Multiple widgets that can be set up in a workspace moved from one workspace to another or even to a separate window. For example, if a trader relies on technical analysis, they can craft a workspace consisting of just chart widgets.
  • Partial position closure, which allows traders to implement more complex risk management trading strategies
  • One-click trading that traders can enable by linking customisable watchlists across widgets

All these features are available on Deriv X and accessible via the web-based trading platform and iOS/Android mobile trading app. The platform is currently available to traders worldwide, except for those residing in Europe.

Jean-Yves Sireau, CEO of Deriv, commented on the launch of Deriv X: “Innovative thinking has always been the core of our growth strategy. Deriv is continuously working on introducing new products and services to give our clients the opportunity to utilise the latest technology, maximising their probability of success. We put our clients at the centre of everything we do, and use all our resources to help them always be one step ahead of the market.”

Vitaly Kudinov, SVP of Business Development at Devexperts said: “Startups and established brokers know that trading platforms are not merely tools. Trading platforms are key elements of their business. Broker success depends heavily on how simple and user-friendly their platform is for clients and how smoothly and quickly it can be scaled to support x2, x5, x10, and even x100 user accounts. To achieve this, some brokers are building their own software, which is a long and expensive route. The path to creating usability and scalability for the Deriv X platform was extremely short since it’s a white-label of DXtrade. I am excited to see Deriv’s international community of traders enjoying Deriv X – a platform we built with passion and integrity.”

About Deriv
Deriv is one of the oldest brokers in the industry. Its story starts back in 1999, with only one office and continues to this day with 16 offices in 13 different countries and over 850 team members. Deriv’s primary mission is to make trading available to everyone, everywhere. And the company is certainly moving towards its goal, constantly introducing new platforms and services to its growing clientele list.
