BFCBTC: breaking through overbuy"What Is Bifrost (BFC)?
Bifrost is a multichain middleware platform that enables developers to create Decentralized Applications (DApps) on top of multiple protocols. Not restrained to a single blockchain, Bifrost creates a new environment where developers can combine the best protocols to develop substantially more scalable and flexible DApps.
With Bifrost, developers can write smart contracts for multiple blockchain protocols in an unified environment. They simply select the target blockchain for each part of the code, then Bifrost will transpile, compile, and deploy the code into the target blockchains at once. Developers can also easily operate their DApps and even switch the target blockchain as new and better protocols become available.
Bifrost has multiple components that allow for a seamless connection among all blockchains:
Recipe: A language application that defines the programming language of Bifrost and generates smart contract codes with guaranteed code-level flexibility.
Linker: A system that connects the user and Bifrost components, ensuring the seamless operation on top of multiple blockchains.
Builder: An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that offers a customized environment to use the comprehensive suite of features of Bifrost.
Gourmet: An automated testing environment for Bifrost service and smart contract development, updating with the latest technologies for blockchain.
Scan: A dashboard that provides you with a full view of the internal process of Bifrost and shows your blockchain interconnectivity in diagram.
What Makes Bifrost Unique?
Flexibility: To maximize the potential of the blockchain technology, a superior flexibility that allows users to select and combine blockchains is needed. Bifrost focuses on this flexibility, enabling developers to extract the most from blockchains.
Scalability: Bifrost operates with multiple blockchains without any additional abstraction layers, so you can use the features of each blockchain directly. Its flexibility enables you to apply different blockchains best suited to your needs.
Interoperability: The value of interoperable blockchain service grows as the blockchain industry grows. On Bifrost, you can build services with countless possibilities for combinations and interoperability, from the start.
Full Dev Suite: Bifrost provides a full suite of features to develop and operate your product, including an IDE, monitoring function, and client service such as wallets.
What are its use cases?
BFC (Bifrost token) is the currency of Bifrost’s multichain ecosystem. Developers pay BFC for using the multichain middleware to develop and operate their DApps, minimizing the cost of gas fees when using multiple blockchain protocols than when using one blockchain. More specifically, they will be required to stake a certain amount of BFC and the fees will be deducted from it. Once the staked amount reaches below a threshold level, they will be asked to purchase BFC to meet the threshold again. The first DApp to be powered by Bifrost is the multichain DeFi platform, BiFi. Using Bifrost’s multichain technology, BiFi can connect directly to multiple blockchains like Bitcoin, Tron, and Klaytn, thereby expanding the DeFi ecosystem currently limited to Ethereum. BiFi will have its own token, BIFI, which will be used for governance and also to pay the fees for using multichain DeFi services. As BiFi's multichain is powered by Bifrost, BiFi will periodically purchase BFC with BIFI and pay it to Bifrost. The development of Bifrost continues, with more features tailored to DeFi DApp development and serving multichain DeFi developers in the future. When DApp sectors like DID, NFT, and Gaming grow, Bifrost will become the preeminent multichain platform from day one. Future DApp developers will be able to customize the combination of blockchains to build more scalable, interoperable, and flexible DApps, and use BFC to power them.

GHSTBUSD: red 9" What Is Aavegotchi Coin (GHST)?
Aavegotchi (GHST) is a DeFi-focused non-fungible token (NFT) that runs on the Aave protocol. Simply put, Aavegotchis are game avatars that can be used as DeFi collateral to earn staking rewards.
Like CryptoKitties, the tokens have differentiating qualities such as body color and personality. Being a staked asset, its owner can liquidate the tokens at any time. Unfortunately, liquidating the NFTs means you lose your Gotchi.
The characters have a pixelated ghost appearance since they follow Aave, which translates to “ghost” in Finnish. The token ticker also cleverly spells out “ghost,” minus the vowel.
In November 2020, Aave invested in Pixelcraft Studios, bringing raffles to its protocol. The project’s mainnet launch was scheduled for Jan. 4, 2021, but was pushed to a future date due to high transaction fees on the Ethereum blockchain, where it runs as a side chain.
Who Are the Founders of Aavegotchi?
A team with vast experience in different fields runs the DeFi project. Coder Dan is its pseudonymous chief executive officer and co-founder. Its other known co-founder is Jesse Johnson.
Johnson is also the founder and COO of Pixelcraft Studios and the creator of Bullionix, the first gold-backed NFT collectibles. In the past, Johnson held key roles such as director of business relations/development and manager of international market development in different companies, including China Intop Exhibition Co and ZB Group.
The team also includes other pseudonymous members handling critical roles such as art director and Solidity lead. Aave’s founder, Stani Kulechov, is the project’s advisor.
What Makes Aavegotchi Unique?
Firstly, Aavegotchis are playable assets that also act as collateral on DeFi networks. Unlike other NFTs, they have inherent benefits in the industry where their value surpasses the gaming prospects. To interact with a Gotchi, DeFi users need to stake a select group of tokens known as aTokens such as LINK (aLINK) and USDC (aUSDC) into a Gotchi.
Coder Dan notes that the game’s use of aTokens is due to their positioning to earn interests and “the interest accrues natively in your wallet, in real-time.”
Apart from earning interest from staked tokens, holders of the platform’s native currency, GHST, are positioned to “win high-end items,” as noted by Johnson. Aavegotchis are tradable on OpenSea and other market places specializing in NFT trading.
The project’s revenue comes from fees charged for interacting with mini-games, as well as the sale of consumables and wearables.
Aavegotchi banks on what it calls rarity farming. Basically, the rarer the Gotchi, the higher the price it fetches in the market. Moreover, the platform shares part of its revenue with leading rarity farmers." source CMC

TRU gives the holder the ability to rate credit for third parties. Through TRU credit rating, a permissionless system of credit can be built which operates purely through incentives. TRU owners have part ownership in building a new credit system.
CQTBTC: first daily close above the resistance" What Is Covalent (CQT)?
Covalent leverages big-data technologies to create meaning from hundreds of billions of data points, delivering actionable insights to investors and allowing developers to allocate resources to higher-utility goals within their organization.
Instead of painstakingly sourcing data from a small handful of chains, Covalent aggregates information from across dozens of sources including nodes, chains and data feeds. The Covalent API then sources end-users with individualized data by wallet, including current and historical investment performance across all types of digital assets. Most importantly, Covalent returns this data in a rapid and consistent manner, incorporating all relevant data within one API interface.
Having achieved product-market fit, we are now planning to execute the next phase of Covalent, which is a progressive decentralization that will enable the Covalent Network to be owned and operated by its users. Of course, a critical piece to this is CQT.
CQT is the native token of the Covalent Network. It has three primary purposes:
CQT is a governance token, whereby token holders vote on proposals to change the system parameters.
CQT is a staking asset. Validators will earn fees for answering queries.
CQT is a network access token that fulfills data queries for users of the API.
Covalent Use Cases
The bulk of the use-cases are as-of-yet unknown, and we are constantly surprised at the multitude of ways developers and our partners use the data.
Taxes: Every single DeFi action is a taxable event and having access to this data helps firms be compliant. If a trader uses Coinbase, they can quickly download a CSV of their trade data - besides Covalent, there is no such thing for a decentralized exchange like Uniswap or 1inch.\
DeFi: DeFi protocols, such 0x and Zerion to name a few, use the Covalent API to pull real-time, granular blockchain data. What makes the Covalent API such a critical infrastructure piece for these projects is that not only can they pull wallet specific data, but they expand their service to display data across multiple chains. This significantly enhances their product offering and fundamentally improves the user experience.
In the case of Zerion, the exact data the DeFi investment dashboard is pulling ranges across multiple chains including Polygon, BSC and Ethereum and includes transactional data, as well a user's token balances, and transaction history.
NFTs: As the popularity of NFTs has boomed over the past number of months, it has become increasingly important for NFT projects to be able to provide a means of analysis. Given that the Covalent API provides such, Covalent has become the leading NFT data provider. NFT projects such as ChainGuardains and Ethermon are now using the Covalent API to not only power novel features specific to each project, but to again improve the user experience.
DAOs: Reliable and real-time data are critical in making informed decisions, facilitating governance and allowing individuals to invest, consume, and participate in the DAO phenomenon. It should come as no surprise then that DAOs are using the Covalent API. Individuals can use the API to view and examine proposal interactions so that one can understand how active members are in creating proposals and voting on them as well as if members are voting for, or against proposals in general.
Who Are the Founders of Covalent?
Covalent is built by an experienced team of data scientists and blockchain and database engineers passionate about improving and scaling blockchain technologies. Ganesh Swami, CEO and Co-founder, is a physicist by training and started his career designing algorithms for cancer drugs in the pharmaceutical space. His first company is listed on the NYSE.
