Proof Raises $50 Million In Series A Funding Led By A16z

To far, Proof has reported that it has successfully concluded a $50 million Series A fundraising round led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Andreessen Horowitz sponsored a $50 million funding round for Proof, which recently closed (a16z).

In addition to these investors, Seven Seven Six, True Ventures, Collab+Currency, Flamingo DAO, SV Angel, and VaynerFund all contributed to the total. Seven Seven Six has invested $10 million in PROOF back in April.

In addition, the corporation released specifics regarding the technology that is used to power its web3 platform, in addition to ambitions for the expansion of the whole ecosystem.

The firm is now working on a platform to aid NFT collectors in dealing with local communities to gain access to utilities.

Kevin Rose, Proof's co-founder and CEO, made the news, alongside Justin Mezell, another co-founder, and Harri Thomas, the company's director of product.

money raised at a live-streamed community event. Kevin Rose commented on the funding, saying, "It's terrific to have this vote of confidence from some of the most respected investors in web3 and the capital to keep delivering outstanding products and services as we mature this business over the long term."

PROOF is in the midst of constructing a Web3 social platform that will be administered by the community at large through a voting method known as a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) (decentralized autonomous organization).

As an added bonus, the platform's users will gain access to NFT-related insights that might inform their choices.

Once the beta version of the platform is up, token holders of PROOF Collective, Moonbirds, and Oddities will be able to show their NFTs on the site.

Not long after the corporation took the choice to make the characters from Moonbirds and Oddities available to the public, they released this announcement.

Which means anyone can combine the symbols for financial gain. In early August, the company began using a single Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license for both of its collections.

By releasing this new platform, the business seems to be turning its attention from the creator economy to the blockchain infrastructure industry.

The owners of Moonbirds and Oddities were dissatisfied with PROOF because they felt they should have been consulted before the collections were given to CCO. This led to some negative feedback for PROOF.

In addition, the company declared that it would launch Moonbirds online while also developing a new line called Moonbird Mythic for release in early 2023.

In addition, PROOF will release a governance token for its ecosystem that it will call Proof token. It's expected that this launch will occur in 2023 as well.

Kevin Rose made the statement, "The world doesn't need another token for speculation," during the Future PROOF conference. If we're going to put in the effort, it should be something that has actual value and will expand the boundaries of what's possible.

Musk presents "Optimus" at Tesla's AI Day.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils "Optimus" at "AI Day" on Friday. A robot-based business would be worth more than a car-based business, the billionaire said. He wants to move beyond self-driving cars, which he has repeatedly promised. Onstage, a robot model waved to the audience. In the automaker's factory, a video showed the robot moving metal bars and watering plants. "Our goal is to make a useful humanoid robot as soon as possible," Musk said. "Optimus needs a lot of work to be effective." Musk said humanoid robots "lack a brain" because they can't travel the world independently. He also said they're expensive and rare. Optimus would be mass-produced in the millions and cost less than $20,000, he said. Musk expected to discuss Tesla's self-driving car technology. In May, the CEO said the world's most valuable car company would be "worthless" without self-driving cars. The company faces regulatory and techno...

Hackers from North Korea are stealing NFTs using almost 500 different phishing domains.

There have been reports that hackers with ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group are behind a massive phishing campaign aimed at investors in nonfungible tokens (NFTs).

SlowMist, a blockchain security company, published a report on December 24 revealing the strategies that North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have used to separate NFT investors from their NFTs. These strategies include the use of decoy websites that are disguised as a variety of different NFT-related platforms and projects. Some examples of these fake websites include a website that pretends to be a project associated with the World Cup, as well as websites that impersonate well-known NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible.

Instead, it represents the most recent development in human/computer interface technology, one that aims to produce a seamless, pervasive, immers...
