Opera browser to enable emoji-based web addresses

Uverejnil používateľ | feb 14, 2022 |

Opera announced a partnership with Yat, a platform that allows the creation of emoji-based web addresses (URL), for integrating the emoji system in Opera’s browsers across all operating systems. Celebrating the announcement, the duo launched an event to distribute seven nonfungible tokens (NFTs) from legendary NFT artist Fvckrender valued at a floor price of 2.89 Ether (ETH). Tech startup Yat’s NFT project allows internet users to own personalized strings of emojis and use them as universal digital identifiers and wallet addresses. Recently, Opera released the beta version of its new Crypto Browser Project. The integration allows Opera users to surf the web by entering a string of emojis into the URL bar instead of letters and words. The “emojification” of Opera, as the company calls it, is a “new, easier and more fun” way to find and be directed to Yat pages, according to Jorgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera.”The partnership marks a major paradigm shift in the way the internet works. Through the integration with Yat, Opera users are able to ditch .com or even words in their links and use emojis to be directed to websites.”Emojis embedded on web pages will link to the corresponding “y.at/” page automatically. Famous artists and celebrities were among the first to invest in and use their Yat emoji web addresses, simply called Yats. For example, rapper Lil Wayne (y.at/alien-musical note) whose Yat page directs users to his record label’s site and DJ Steve Aoki’s (y.at/birthday cake-musical note) that takes users to his website.  To mark the integration’s launch, Yat and Opera are hosting a scavenger hunt for participants to compete for seven commissioned Fvck Crystals NFTs from NFT artist Fvckrender.The rumors are true…Seven brilliant heroeswill have the chance to win seven beautiful FVCK_CRYSTALS//from the Yativerse.The current floor is 2.75 ETH.Make sure to follow us and turn onnotifications so you don’t miss out on the rules of this incredible game… pic.twitter.com/ZqGQuWhxoT— Yat (,) (@whatsyouryat) February 10, 2022Related: Opera to integrate with Polygon, opening DApp ecosystem to 80M usersAt the time of publication, Yat had a trading volume of 411 ETH ($1,263,422) on OpenSea.

Crypto Stories: Gavin Wood discusses why he decided to code Ethereum

Crypto Stories: Gavin Wood discusses why he decided to code Ethereum

Uverejnil používateľ | feb 11, 2022 |

Among the original founding fathers of Ethereum (ETH) is Gavin Wood, who joined a group led by Vitalik Buterin that set out to build Bitcoin’s competition. Wood is the computer scientist who wrote the first smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain back in 2014. In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Wood admitted that at the time, he just needed a job.  [embedded content]A self-described “technologist at heart” he knew coding was his calling, and made the “obvious” switch from building LEGO bricks to writing blocks of code from an early age.He first discovered Bitcoin via The Silk Road, the online black market that ran from 2011 to 2013. The cryptocurrency originally “took his fancy” for being “a purely algorithmic mechanism for human cooperation and interaction,” that according to Wood, “allows for the creation of social structures that we haven’t seen yet.” He realized there might be a job opportunity for him and started networking. After a meeting with Johnny Bitcoin, Wood was hired with the task of helping Buterin take Ethereum from white paper to a functioning blockchain. His hope in creating Ethereum was to affect change in society for the better.”This is technology that is being used to build the new world – the world that’s going to drive human civilization for the rest of this century at least.”Related: Crypto Stories: Vitalik Buterin talks creating Ethereum in previously unreleased 2014 interviewThe video ends with words by Wood from another interview at a July 2014 conference in Hong Kong, in which he suggested to Cointelegraph that economic institutions could be substituted by Ethereum. Almost eight years later, economic and financial institutions are indeed being disrupted not just by Ethereum but by the constantly evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. Wood ended up leaving the development team at Ethereum to eventually found Polkadot (DOT), a sharded multi-chain protocol, and Kusama (KSM), used as a test network on the Polkadot chain.
