State in India: Promoting Web2 and Web3 Blockchain Startups

 


Telangana is launching a blockchain accelerator in collaboration with CoinSwitch Kuber and Lumos Labs.

The government of the Indian state of Telangana announced the India Blockchain Accelerator program, which aims to support Web2 and Web3 startups and early-stage blockchain developers. This is intended to solve real challenges. The program is being launched in cooperation with the well-known crypto exchange CoinSwitch Kuber and Lumos Labs, a company for technological innovation management.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Rama Devi Lanka, the director of threshold technologies at the ITE & C department of the government of Telangana, emphasized that the Indian state is planning to use blockchain projects for various use cases:

"There are some interesting use cases that the state has already tested with blockchain. These include T-Chits (chit funds on the blockchain), supply chains (traceability of seeds), e-elections (digital voting platform based on blockchain and AI) and more."

According to the official announcement, the government's four-month blockchain accelerator program will be available to Web2 and Web3 startups and early-stage blockchain developers. The program looks for blockchain-based solutions to real-world problems in various industries, including fintech, entertainment, sustainability, infrastructure and tools, agricultural technology, logistics and healthcare:

"The government of Telangana wants to create the necessary legal framework to enable and promote the growth of blockchain."

Lanka also spoke about the government's current plans to test various use cases for non-fungible tokens (NFT), decentralized finance (DeFi) and other crypto initiatives for mass implementation. She also reiterated her optimism with regard to new blockchain innovations:

"The Telangana government also wants to set up and support a large pool of Indian blockchain professionals. We hope to have around 100,000 in the next three to four quarters." 

Lumos Labs co-founder Kaavya Prasad made a similar statement in an interview about the government's openness to new blockchain initiatives. She emphasized that greater interest in pilot projects and production-ready applications was required:

"When different state governments work together, growth in this area will continue to accelerate. It will also allow us to progress more efficiently."

CoinSwitch founder and CEO Kuber Ashish Singhal stated that tomorrow's best global startups would run on the Web3 blockchain infrastructure. He also talked about India becoming a net exporter of technology:

"As part of the Indian crypto industry, we will seek to work with the state government to make the vision of Telangana the blockchain capital of the country a reality." 

According to a recent report, the Indian government does not want to impose a general ban on cryptocurrencies. According to the Indian news broadcaster NDTV, a message from the cabinet meeting on the crypto law indicates a planned regulation.

As reported by Cointelegraph, local reporter Sunil Prabhu said the announcement contained proposals to regulate cryptocurrencies as a crypto asset. The Indian securities regulator SEBI wants to oversee the regulation of local crypto exchanges.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
