Interview: Anna Fischer– NF Architects

Press Release • May 27, 2022

Prepared by Ian Manson, 27th May 2022


Anna, thank you for taking the time to join me in this interview to educate our community on NF Architects and your relationship with pax.world. But first can you give us a brief introduction to you and your story?

Thanks for having me on this interview. My background is quickly explained. I am a criminal defense lawyer with a small law firm in the town of Zurich, growing from Money Laundering into Art, which led to an Executive Master in Art Sales Management. This is where I first learned about NFTs, the metaverse and how these interact with the art scene. Architecture was then just a natural next step when asking where are we going to view all this amazing art in the metaverse.


Why did you get involved in the NFT arena, and where do you think the crypto industry will be in 5–10 years?

As I mentioned the classes I took opened my views and improved my knowledge on NFTs. NFTs combine the worlds I know best, law and art. The perception that NFTs are fast money and nothing else is simply wrong. I wanted people to understand that NFTs guarantee ownership, they are a very simple version of proof for a legally binding transaction, simplify the art market massively and making it achievable to everyone, which is a great advantage. It’s no longer about art being a high-end market for people who don’t know where to put their money. It is about the real perception of art, that can touch anyone and now can become achievable to a larger mass.


Thank you for your insight. Can you give us an introduction to NF Architects. and its history?


Marc Wieneke, my co-founder, who is an amazing architect in real life, showed me some of his plans and projects that had never been realized. They were incredible, the shapes where out of this world and some of the renderings were simply breath-taking. I learned that many great architects had such unfinished or unrealized projects and that these were condemned to a black box. So, our first business idea was to create NFTs of these works and try to sell the original 3D models and plot plans within the smart contract. We first launched on New Year’s Eve this year and had one great success to start with. Going on we found that many players in the metaverse, whether from art or luxury industries or consulting companies asking for tailor-made architecture which is now our main focus. We create architecture that is no longer bound by the circumstances of real life such as gravity, climate and geography, and give our clients the max experience according to their specific needs.


So how did you get started with NF Architects?


I mentioned my idea with the NFTs for architecture to a befriended investor and he was very interested in funding the company. With this start capital we were able to do our first NFT project and launch it. It was sold for a very good price. In our business model 80% of the revenue goes to the architect, so we absolutely need turnover to reach breakeven. However, tailormade architecture is taking over at this stage and will be probably closer to a real-life architectural studio. NFTs however remain mandatory to us. We protect ownership and IPR when a project is minted and this incredible advantage of NFTs will bring the business world in general to a more efficient functioning.


What is so special about your relationship with pax.world?


As architects we do need a land to build on and in virtuality this is the metaverse. We spoke to several providers and creators of metaverses in the large sense of the word. pax.world definitely stood out through the idea of having two levels of metaverse, the regular one where everyone can cruise by using very simple devices such as smartphones and personal computers, and the so called metanovae where quality of rendering, applications and uses are high-end and satisfy the needs of our clients. If you do architecture in a very simple way, you end up creating Minecraft or similar games.


High-end architecture does imply certain software use and ability to implement high quality visuals. This is what pax world does and this is definitely unique. When I first met Matt (CEO of pax.world) he showed us the land they build, the vision they have and as well convinced us with his personal enthusiasm. When we started to work with their tech guys, we understood that their level of production is absolutely high-end and they invested in staff that is beyond average. I believe that this is a crucial decision and another plus of pax.world.


What has been the biggest challenge with your project at pax.world?


Actually, the cooperation so far has been really easy and on a partnership basis. With pax.world you always get immediate response, the team is outspoken and clear, visions can be implemented and their interest in developing ideas and taking time to discuss the understanding and development of metaverse is astonishing and meets our own policy of not only selling a product but being part of the creation of an extended world.


What is the biggest achievement with your project at pax.world?


I think visibility is a though issue for a start-up like us. We hardly have any marketing budget so we absolutely want to partner up with companies that love our work and want to promote us. This is the case with pax.world and we are looking forward to taking the next steps with this incredible metaverse they’re building.


What are the next steps for NF Architects, the 1-to-2-year plan?


Our goal is to create awareness for the necessity of architecture in the metaverse. There is a difference between building a game environment and architecture in the metaverse. Our architects work very similar to real life. They spend time and passion in understanding the clients needs. Metaverse should not be limited to an exact copy of real life but solve problems in an easier way than in real life and thereby facilitate business. We look at the metaverse as a surreality which means it is not just a digital twin area, but the use of virtuality leads to an improvement also in real life.


Where do you see platforms like pax.world being in 5 to 10 years’ time?


Metaverses, and I shall declare pax.world to be such, will differ by the quality of the experience. pax.world emphasizes on the quality aspect and underlines the necessity of being reachable by anyone. So there is a democratic aspect to pax.world as well. We absolutely believe that pax.world can become a true community with established “inhabitants” throughout the timescale of 5 to 10 years from now.


Where can people support NF Architects and pax.world and do you have any final words?


Anyone who enters virtuality and wants to establish a perception of themselves or their businesses in the metaverse should go for quality. It is useful to understand the long-term vision and plan the platforms have. Then you choose and if you start building in the metaverse you learn that having an architect, with the education and understanding of his profession, will make a difference that can be very useful for your appearance in virtuality. In real life you still meet the real people but in virtual life it is all about what you see and experience first of all on a visual basis. And there is so much potential to express what your message is.


The metaverse and virtuality in general are the future. It is really amazing growing into these worlds, starting to ask general questions on how we live, how we present ourselves, how we communicate and how we can inspire each other easier through the use of this new world.

HyroTrader: Ranked Among the Best Crypto Prop Firms and Redefining the Industry Through Innovation and Scale

By Press Release • September 1, 2025
In the rapidly evolving world of trading, HyroTrader has emerged as one of the best crypto prop firms, setting new standards in transparency, technology, and community building. Founded in 2023 by entrepreneur Samuel Drnda, HyroTrader has grown from an ambitious idea into a global company with 34 full-time employees, a community of 30,000+ traders, and recognition across the industry as a true pioneer. From Startup Roots to Industry Leadership The HyroTrader story began with Samuel Drnda, a young entrepreneur who previously built and exited a company focused on automation, machine learning, and AI solutions, and also ran a performance marketing agency with over 40 employees. At just 24 years old, Drnda launched HyroTrade, a crypto CFD trading platform that attracted thousands of customers. During this time, Drnda also gained first-hand experience at Golem Trading, a traditional Prague-based prop trading firm. There, he realized something important: while forex traders had access to prop firms like FTMO, which generated more than $213 million in 2023, no equivalent solution existed for crypto traders. In 2023, Drnda pivoted the business into HyroTrader, an evaluation-based crypto prop firm built to provide traders with real opportunities to scale with capital, tools, and education. The First to Innovate: Bybit API Integration HyroTrader quickly made its mark by becoming the first crypto prop firm to introduce a direct API integration with Bybit. This innovation reshaped the industry, enabling traders to connect their accounts directly and trade in a way that had never been possible before. Other firms soon followed, adopting similar approaches, but the impact was clear: HyroTrader was setting the pace for the entire industry. “When we innovate, the industry follows,” says CEO Samuel Drnda. “We don’t just participate in this market — we move it forward.” Scaling Capital Access for Traders HyroTrader gives traders the ability to access funded accounts up to $200,000, profit splits of 70–90%, and the opportunity to scale up to $1 million in trading capital. So far, the firm has: Funded 700+ traders Processed more than $2 million in payouts Built a community of 30,000+ users worldwide This commitment has earned HyroTrader recognition in the industry, being ranked twice among the best crypto prop firms by respected outlets such as: Altfins: The Best Crypto Prop Trading Firms Living From Trading: Top Crypto Prop Firms Community and Global Presence HyroTrader is more than just a platform — it’s a global community. In late 2024, the company organized a trading tournament at Bybit HQ in Dubai, bringing together the top 30 crypto traders. The event went viral, generating over 170,000 views on social media and further boosting HyroTrader’s reputation as one of the most innovative names in the industry. Today, the team includes 34 full-time employees, with 15 in the Prague office and the rest working remotely from around the world. To support global growth, HyroTrader is also opening a new office in Dubai, a major hub for international crypto trading. Combating Fraud with Decentralization As the popularity of prop trading grows, so too has the number of fraudulent projects. HyroTrader is responding by building a decentralized crypto prop trading protocol, which will allow trader evaluations and performance to be recorded transparently on the blockchain. This innovation will provide traders with a verifiable trading history and give other firms the chance to build on the same framework, improving standards across the entire industry. Investing in People and Product Development HyroTrader is now entering its most ambitious growth phase yet. The company is hiring aggressively and investing heavily into product development to ensure its platform can scale efficiently. “By bringing in the best talent and building scalable technology, we’re preparing for the next stage — serving over a million traders worldwide,” explains Drnda. Future Roadmap Looking ahead, HyroTrader is preparing several major initiatives: New Scalable Application (2025): Launching a next-generation trading platform designed to scale operations to over 1 million users. Crypto Fund for Algo Traders: Supporting algorithmic traders with real capital, helping them test, validate, and scale their strategies. Expanding API Integrations: Partnering with multiple leading exchanges to bring prop trading to new markets. Exchanges themselves are showing strong interest, recognizing that the model generates substantial trading volume. A Trusted Name Among the Best Crypto Prop Firms With consistent innovation, industry-first integrations, and a clear vision for the future, HyroTrader continues to earn its reputation as one of the best crypto prop firms in the world. “HyroTrader was built to empower traders with real opportunities,” says Drnda. “From Bybit API integration to decentralized protocols, everything we do is about pushing the industry forward while protecting and supporting our community.” To learn more about HyroTrader or apply for a trading challenge, visit hyrotrader.com .

Vchat: Vietnam’s Awakening Answer to the Future of Social Networks

By press Release • September 1, 2025
In a digital landscape long dominated by Silicon Valley and China’s internet giants, a new force is rewriting the rules of connection and community: Vchat, a project born in Vietnam with a vision far larger than just another messaging app. What began as a communication tool has evolved into an awakening ecosystem — where ownership, governance, and value converge. Its mission is simple yet radical: return voice, value, and agency to the people. The Ownership Economy Unlike traditional social platforms that extract value from user data and attention, Vchat flips the model: Web3 Transparency – All contributions are recorded on-chain, ensuring fairness and traceability. AI Personalization – Each user interacts with an intelligent assistant that supports their journey. Community Rewards – Engagement is converted into VCT Tokens, turning participation into tangible ownership. At the heart of this system lies the VCT Token, powering Vchat’s digital economy. Every like, post, or contribution flows back into the community — not upward to corporations. Users can tip creators, unlock services, trade in the marketplace, or reinvest in the platform’s growth. Governance by the People Vchat is not run from boardrooms but by its community. Through DAO governance, users vote on features, economics, and rules of the ecosystem. Decisions once made in closed circles are now open, transparent, and democratic — a genuine shift of power from corporations to communities. Even advertising is reimagined. Instead of intrusive algorithms, Vchat introduces consensus-driven visibility, where creators and businesses gain exposure through community approval, not manipulation. Commerce Without Borders Beyond social interaction, Vchat embeds seamless borderless commerce. Users can buy, sell, and exchange digital goods or services directly through VCT — bypassing intermediaries. This creates a global marketplace where every participant is both a consumer and an entrepreneur. The VK Vision: From Vietnam, to the World Behind Vchat is VK, a founder whose philosophy goes beyond building platforms. As the Whitepaper states: “We are not chasing the attention economy. We are building the ownership economy — where communities don’t just participate, they lead.” This vision positions Vietnam not as a follower of digital trends, but as a producer of systems that can redefine global standards. Observers believe Vchat’s trajectory could mark a turning point not just for Vietnam’s tech landscape, but for the future of the internet itself. A Turning Point in Digital Culture Vchat is not competing for ad revenue or screen time. It is offering an entirely new paradigm: Where users are co-owners, not data points. Where technology empowers, not controls. Where value circulates within communities, not siphoned by corporations. As the project scales globally, it carries a bold message: “The future does not only begin in Silicon Valley. The future can begin anywhere — even here, in Vietnam.” Official Information Website: https://tapdoanvk.com Whitepaper: https://token.tapdoanvk.com
