Discosolaris is a decentralized universe, an experiment in a new storytelling model, and a media franchise that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. It’s powered by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) which are used to represent people, places, events, and other things within the digital world of Discosolaris. The NFTs are also used to create incentives for community members who help build out this virtual world.

The first collection of 5777 Neo Miami citizens was released on February 8th 2022 and sold out immediately. In just two months it reached a total volume of 2 million ADA with many community incentives being spawned as well. This made Discosolaris one of the most successful blockchain projects ever launched!

There has been a lot of conversation and drama around the idea of contingent staking and the Cardano blockchain allowing a Know Your Customer process to be integrated into the blockchain.

This will then allow stake pool operators to gate delegation to their stake pools in order to comply with regulation. This thing is, none of this regulation is enforce or is completely defined and targeted towards any blockchain at the moment. The SEC is mainly looking into exchanges that provide these types of staking services where the consumer gives up their assets in order to earn a yield in return.

Late in 2022, the Ardana project announced that they were halting operations due to a lack of funding. This upset many people in the community who had invested heavily in the project.

Recently, rumors of a possible revival have been spreading and now it has been confirmed by a tweet from Ardana’s official Twitter account that the final amount of tokens have been distributed and that a new phase of the project can begin.

Can the project be revived? Follow the show notes and leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Join me for an exclusive interview with Tim and Paul Jenkins from the team behind Wizard Tim. In this discussion, delve deep into their project — an innovative NFT book minted via Book.io which tells the story of a lazy wizard who discovers that he's been missing out on life.

Minting a book on the blockchain is certainly a unique idea, but what's even more impressive is the continuous development, engagement and growth of the project.

To help them along in their writing and creative story telling process, they've brought in writer and creative story teller Paul Jenkins — whose impressive career working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel and Disney has made him perfectly suited to create amazing stories and visuals for Wizard Tim fans!

With his addition to the team, there is no doubt that Wizard Tim will continue to reach greater heights than ever before!
