Tarasca DAO - Could This Be the First DAO with Mass Appeal?
U.Today: Tarasca DAO has chosen to set up on the Ardor blockchain for several reasons. Ardor is a parent-and-child chain structure, with Ardor operating as the parent chain, securing multiple child chains. One of the child chains is Ignis, Ardor’s main child chain. Between Ardor and Ignis, Tarasca has access to several out-of-the-box features that support setting up a DAO. These include a voting system, a messaging system, and a means for dividend distribution, among others. Furthermore, Ardor offers a more secure DAO environment than Ethereum, as these features are already in place and tested by Jelurida, the company that operates Ardor. On Ethereum, developers are required to program all the features of their DAO from scratch. Doing so creates an opportunity for bugs and vulnerabilities to creep into the code.

Nigeria – The people fight back against central bank cryptocurrency limitations
Bitcoinist.com: Around the African continent, the use of new digital currencies and fintech solutions is expanding, as a common interest in decentralized finance grows. One example is at Jelurida Africa, where a recent Africa Blockchain Developer Call Series program promoted more entrepreneurs and engineers getting involved in the cryptocurrency world. Jelurida Africa is an offshoot of a Swiss firm of the same name, which was incorporated in the Netherlands in 2016 and moved to Switzerland in 2017. Now, Jelurida Africa is engaged in prelaunch project testing and other goals ahead of additional expansion to a greater number of African nations. At the same time, Jelurida Africa Managing Director Adedayo Adebajo is addressing the Nigerian bank’s notice by noting the conflict between fiat and crypto systems. “My question is, will the CBN reinstate the cryptocurrency support if the fundraising is carried out in support of the sitting government?” Adebajo said, according to reporting at Bitcoin.com. “Situations like this provide more reasons why decentralization, as offered by the blockchain technology, is highly required in Africa.”

NFTs Are Set to Become 2021’s Biggest Hit – But Speculation Isn’t the Only Utility
BTC Manager: Mythical Beasts of the World offers users the chance to purchase a starting deck of three digital NFT-based trading cards for just a few €. The project will issue a total of 50 individual cards, each one featuring the artwork of a mythical creature created by artist Ana Santiso, accompanied by a description of their cultural significance in their country of origin. There will be ten cards released per continent, with 30 available in the initial set and more released each month until there are 50 available in total. Cards will be issued in a limited number of copies and classified according to their scarcity as common, rare, or epic. Tarasca is using the Ardor blockchain to create the cards, so all users will hold their cards in an Ardor account and can trade their duplicates in the Ardor decentralized exchange. Although Tarasca doesn’t intend to create the kind of crazy speculation seen in other NFTs, the game developers believe that the cards will eventually be priced on the secondary market by supply and demand forces, with the epic cards naturally changing hands for higher prices.
