World Cup Apes - Welcoming Investors in the Football Industry through NFTs

Sponsored • July 18, 2022

Only a few people in the football world manage to get rich. This is because it takes a lot of skill and hard work to be a good manager or player. Most people in football are not as lucky as the managers and players who make a lot of money.


In this tight market, a new team wants to leverage NFT technology to open the doors of football to investors. World Cup Apes is planning to introduce a digital ecosystem where investors can profit from the football market.


Our review of the World Cup Apes project will look at the main features of this initiative. We will begin from its vision and move into the various components of its ecosystem.


Introducing World Cup Apes

The World Cup Apes collection is a one-of-a-kind 3D NFT offering 5,000 distinct humanoid figures. Digital collectors value the variety of characteristics and rarity levels that these NFTs provide. 


As these creators argue, only a limited number of individuals have benefited financially from the football business. This team anticipates a future when more investors may earn money from this market. In this scenario, blockchain technology plays a fundamental role.


With the help of World Cup Apes, anyone can become a shareholder in the football industry. While this project has NFTs at its core, limiting our review to this aspect would not be fair. World Cup Apes has the ambition of building a more complex ecosystem, as we explain below.


Understanding the Project’s Mission and Vision

This group believes that a more equitable trade system and technological advancement can benefit the football world. The initiative aims to make the football world available to everyone immediately. 


Regarding rewards and tokenomics, World Cup Apes relies on next-generation blockchain technology related to level 2. This technology is more scalable, affordable, accessible to everyone, and environmentally friendly. 


Playing and competing is a fun activity, and World Cup Apes hopes to spread that message worldwide. The project wants to bring more people into the business of digital assets connected to the world of sports.


The Three Steps in the Project’s Strategy

World Cup Apes relies on a strategy that we can summarize as follows:


  1. Step 1: Five thousand humanoid figures of the world's most renowned soccer players will be part of this project. These creations portray the football outfits of the world's best teams. Because these digital creations are unique, they all have a distinct visual identity.
  2. Step 2: World Cup Apes will also have a native cryptocurrency. The WCA utility token is necessary for the NFT staking process and participation in the DAO platform. 
  3. Step 3: A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) will oversee the WCA Digital Investment Fund. The Digital Investment Fund will be in charge of acquiring the image rights of rising football stars worldwide.


The Project’s Core: A Collection with Thousands of NFTs

A portion of the project's special NFTs entered the market through a private sale round. In this operation, the focus was on investors from medium-sized and big portfolios. 

 

Auction lots of 200 or 500 NFT have begun to appear for sale to the general public. The goal of this method is to leverage the concept of “scarcity." 

 

The timing of the release of subsequent lots will vary based on the team's marketing strategy. The timetable of this initiative's growth will also rely on when prominent sports stars join the project. 


Moving Closer to Qatar 2022

The 2022 World Cup will kick off in Qatar. This will be the first time a Middle Eastern country hosts the competition. The event will take place from November 21 to December 18, 2022. 

 

World football fans will be able to watch a total of 64 matches in eight different venues across the country. In preparation for this event, this World Cup Apes plans to unveil an additional collection of one thousand new NFTs. 


With the approval of the various federations, humanoid avatars of multiple players will be part of the collection. 


A number on the shirt, a national team insignia, and a sponsor's logo would be these NFTs’ distinguishing features. These features will be available if the federations involved will give legal authorization.


How Does the WCA Token Work?

Projects can incentivize users to support and use their platform by creating their cryptocurrency. Additionally, cryptocurrency can be a way to reward early adopters and contributors to a project.


NFT holders will receive WCA tokens for locking their NFTs in a staking pool. The token has a supply of 100 million samples, which we can break down as follows:


  • Public sale: 57.5%
  • Staking: 20%
  • Team: 10%
  • ICO: 10%
  • Marketing: 2.5%


People owning at least one NFT will not be able to sell their WCA tokens until December 2022. 

As the sections below explain, the token will have a core role in the WCA Digital Investment Fund.


The Purpose of the WCA Digital Investment Fund

This fund will be in charge of acquiring the rights of up-and-coming young talents. WCA token sales, both private and public, will provide an initial source of funding for the initiative. 


The fund will have 31 percent of its management represented by professionals from the world of football.

The remaining 69% will consist of the project’s founders (20%) and a decentralized autonomous organization (49%). This DAO will give voting rights to token holders proportionally to the amount of WCA they hold in their wallets.


A Look at the Project’s Roadmap

The project has shared a clear roadmap with the market, mentioning several milestones. With the aim of summarizing the team’s plans for the future, we can mention the following tasks:


  • Creation of an NFT exchange portal and launch of the first NFT collection.
  • Development of the WCA token.
  • Launch of the NFT staking feature. The operation lets you receive 40 WCA daily for no longer than 90 days, as the project’s founders explained.
  • Official launch of World Cup Apes: the operation will consist of a pre-ICO (September 1st), ICO (October 1st), and ICO listing (November 1st).
  • Launch of 3,000 additional NFTs for the World Cup in Qatar.


World Cup Apes will ultimately aim to develop its ecosystem. Specifically, the team mentioned the intention to create the WCA SOCIETY with the following investment portfolio:


  • 20% going to the team
  • 31% going to world football personalities
  • 49% going to WCA token holders.


Final Thoughts

All football and blockchain aficionados can join the World Cup Apes ecosystem. Investors may be interested in the upcoming NFTs before Qatar 2022. 


These humanoid avatars will allow everyone - through NFT technology - to collect WCA by staking. There will be 100 million WCA tokens in circulation, and the WCA Digital Investment Fund will primarily rely on this cryptocurrency.


A DAO will be at the heart of this fund, acquiring the rights of new young talents.

Wiener , a new mobile analytics platform for the Solana ecosystem, has launched globally on the Apple App Store. The app converts Solana’s continuous on-chain activity stream into a curated set of actionable signals designed for everyday market participants.  Solana’s low fees and high throughput have made it one of the busiest networks in the digital-asset sector. The same speed, however, generates an overwhelming volume of data. Wiener aims to make that information more accessible by filtering and ranking on-chain events in real time. This strategy presents only the developments most likely to influence market attention. “Most retail traders do not need more dashboards. They need clarity,” said Tetiana Kvashuk, creator of the Wiener app. “The goal is to surface meaningful events the moment they occur, without requiring users to sit inside terminals all day.” A Push-First Approach to Market Intelligence Wiener operates on a notification-driven model. Subscribers receive alerts on emerging tokens, unusual on-chain behaviour, wallet activity, and momentum changes across the Solana landscape. These signals come in real time. This means users can see how the market is moving without having to constantly check social media or analytics sites. Token profiles in the app give users quick looks at liquidity, ownership concentration, recent activity, and basic safety indicators. The layout is simple on purpose so that it is easy to read instead of having complicated charts. Advanced users can access modules such as Fresh Wallets, Good Traders, Bots, Whale Map, KOLs, and X Stats. These tools highlight newly active addresses, historically effective trading patterns, automated trading behaviour, large-holder movements, and social-driven shifts. Built for Simplicity, Independent by Design Although Wiener ingests large amounts of blockchain data, its interface is structured around a small set of metrics. This system is designed to allow for quick data interpretation, rather than overwhelming users. All buying and selling happens outside of the app on platforms that the user chooses. Wiener's published privacy policy says that it is not an exchange, wallet, or custodial service. To clarify: Wiener does not store or move crypto assets. This separation lets the project focus only on analytics and notification services. About Wiener Wiener is a mobile analytics app focused on real-time alerts and simplified on-chain insights for the Solana blockchain. The combination of continuous monitoring with structured filtering is at the core of this initiative. In fact, the app aims to help retail participants understand fast-moving markets without relying on complex trading tools. Wiener does not custody assets or execute trades and is not affiliated with the Solana Foundation. Wiener is free to download but requires a subscription to access any functionality. Plans - Basic Weekly, Premium, and Pro - are available through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Pricing varies by region; in the United States, subscriptions currently range from $3.99 per week to $17.99 per month depending on alert volume and feature access. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed through the user’s Apple ID settings. The Wiener app is now available for iPhone devices running iOS 13 or later. Anyone can find it under the name “Wiener” in the Finance category of the App Store. Further information is available on the project’s official website and on the social media pages listed below.

REKT, a meme token built on Solana, officially started its presale event. The project has passed three SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, proving that its staking and claim logic is sound. The team introduces a verified Loss Claim function, allowing traders to convert on-chain losses into $REKT. The Loss Claim Function REKT was created by a trader who lost everything, repeatedly. Instead of quitting, he built a system that turns pain into purpose. $REKT rewards what most cryptocurrencies ignore: real loss, verified on-chain. The Loss Claim feature is the main new thing about the project. The idea is to let wallets receive funds as a partial compensation for real trading losses in approved tokens. Looking at this process with a little more detail, each wallet can make one claim per month. However, such an amount can't be more than 50,000 $REKT. Also, the exact computation of the claim will depend on a so-called "portfolio multiplier". This number can grow with a) wallet age and b) staking activity, rewarding loyal holders. Strict anti-bot filters, cooldowns, and spoof protection ensure every claim is real. The Rage Claim Feature Presale tokens are auto-staked at purchase and vest linearly over six months. Early unlocks are allowed under the Rage Claim mechanism, which burns a portion of tokens based on timing: 20% in week one 15% in weeks two to three 10% in weeks four to six 5% after week six Burned amounts are redistributed: 50% to staking, 25% to treasury, and 25% to the burn wallet. Tokenomics The total supply of $REKT is fixed at 1 billion tokens. There will always be 1 billion tokens of $REKT. Fifty percent of that supply goes to the community presale, which is based on clear milestones instead of insider rounds. Another 15% is set aside for liquidity to keep the DEX stable. Also, 10% goes to the staking pool, while twenty percent goes to the treasury for growth and development. Finally, the remaining five percent goes to community projects, contests, and collaborations. There is a 1% tax on every transaction. This tax is automatically split up: 50% goes to staking rewards, 25% goes to the treasury, and 25% goes to the burn wallet. After burning 200 million $REKT, the supply reduction halts, and the tax splits evenly between staking and treasury. Roadmap The development of REKT follows a clear three-phase plan. The first stage is all about the launch and the base. Smart contracts will be put on Solana and the staking dashboard will go live. Also, SolidProof audits will check all of the systems. The second phase turns on the core logic of REKT. This includes the DEX tax system, tracking of the leaderboard, and the release of Loss Claim v2. This upgrade will come with better wallet multipliers and on-chain filters. The third phase centers on scaling and community growth. At this point, the team will launch NFT-based staking and will work for CEX outreach. Also, the official roadmap mentions more audit rounds that will complete the cycle. This milestone will mark REKT’s full transition from meme to movement. About REKT REKT is a meme token built on Solana that rewards verified losses through a whole new feature. With multiple audits, transparent vesting, and verifiable claim logic, REKT transforms trading failure into blockchain history. REKT's smart contracts have passed three full SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, validating both contract safety and claim logic. The upcoming presale will allow anyone to join this upcoming project with its new features. As a major highlight, REKT has recently joined a live AMA event on Binance, sharing key updates and insights with the community. The social media pages and the project’s website are a way to keep in touch with this team and with REKT's upcoming milestones: X (Twitter) | Telegram.

Secure Legion has announced the public beta release of the world’s first messaging application designed to expose zero metadata . Built entirely without servers, directories, or intermediaries, the platform delivers fully peer-to-peer communication through Tor hidden services ensuring that no third party can observe who is communicating, when, or from where. Unlike conventional messengers, Secure Legion replaces personal identifiers with Solana wallet keypairs , eliminating the need for phone numbers, emails, or any form of personal data. A New Standard for Private Communication Modern encrypted messengers secure message content but still leak metadata social graphs, contact networks, connection timestamps, and communication patterns. Platforms such as Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram rely on servers that inherently retain traces of user behavior. Secure Legion removes this entire metadata surface through two core innovations: A completely serverless architecture that prevents any entity from storing, relaying, or analyzing message traffic. The Ping-Pong Wake protocol , a novel mechanism that delivers messages only when both parties are simultaneously online and authenticated. Because no server ever queues or registers communication attempts, observers cannot build relationship graphs or infer interaction frequency. Identity Through Solana Wallets Instead of traditional account systems, Secure Legion adopts a self-sovereign identity model : each user’s Solana keypair functions as their cryptographic identity across both messaging and blockchain-related interactions. This model reinforces privacy, reduces attack surfaces, and aligns with emerging ecosystem standards for decentralized identity. Engineered for High-Risk Environments Secure Legion is already being adopted by journalists, activists, and crypto communities operating in heavily restricted regions. The Android client integrates Tor bridges such as Snowflake , obfs4 , and meek , enabling reliable access in environments with deep packet inspection or aggressive censorship. Message delivery follows an authentication-before-delivery process, preventing message-waiting or mailbox-style analysis one of the key vulnerabilities of conventional encrypted messengers. As one Secure Legion engineer summarized: “Signal protects what you say. Secure Legion protects who you talk to.” With no servers, no timestamps, and no retained message queues, communication patterns become indistinguishable to observers. Open Source, Transparent, and Subpoena-Resistant Secure Legion is fully open source under the MIT license. All cryptographic components including XChaCha20-Poly1305 , Ed25519 , and X25519 ECDH are publicly documented and implemented without telemetry, analytics, or background data collection. The architecture is intentionally designed to be non-compliant with surveillance backdoors : “You can’t subpoena a server that doesn’t exist.” Key Features of the Public Beta Android client available at securelegion.org and on GitHub Fully peer-to-peer messaging via Tor hidden services StrongBox-backed encryption on supported devices Text and voice messaging Built-in Tor bridges for censorship resistance This beta release arrives amid growing global pressure on encrypted communications from the EU’s Chat Control proposal to the UK Online Safety Act and the US EARN IT Act. Secure Legion’s serverless architecture makes such mandates technically impossible to implement. Context in the Privacy Ecosystem Secure Legion responds to an issue long overlooked by mainstream encrypted platforms: metadata surveillance . Metadata exposes behavioral patterns, personal networks, movements, and relationships even when message content is encrypted. Compared to existing alternatives: - Session still relies on service nodes; Secure Legion removes intermediaries entirely. - Briar exposes certain network patterns; Secure Legion eliminates visible trails and peer graphs. - Signal reveals communication metadata to its servers; Secure Legion reveals nothing. The result is a platform that implements true metadata-free messaging by design a direction recently emphasized by leaders such as Vitalik Buterin in calls for permissionless accounts and privacy-preserving communication systems. About Secure Legion Secure Legion is a peer-to-peer, serverless messaging project developed by privacy engineers committed to eliminating metadata surveillance. The platform is non-commercial, open source, and designed around censorship resistance and cryptographic transparency. A formal security audit is underway. Upcoming roadmap items include group messaging, expanded privacy modes, and a desktop client. Follow the project and join the community: Official website | X (Twitter) | GitHub
