Fimi Market Inc. Launches First-Ever NFT Marketplace for Women, Black Diaspora, Other Underrepresented Artists

Fimi Market Inc.

Fimi Market Inc., a technology company with a purpose to help people worldwide live and thrive through web3 experiences, has launched the Fimi NFT Marketplace, the only NFT art marketplace specifically designed to help women, people of color, Black diaspora artists and collectors sell and buy art while building lasting, successful creative careers and art collections. Artists and collectors can start minting, buying and selling today by visiting https://fimi.market, establishing an account, and either connecting their crypto wallet or opening a new one if needed. Fimi NFT Marketplace delivers art experiences through a thoughtful, multicultural, and human approach to technology, NFTs, and the metaverse – something notably absent in the current global NFT art arena, which has taken a precipitous drop in value in recent months. At the end of 2021, only 16% of NFT artists were women, and even fewer are artists of color ( source: ArtTactic ). “We’ve seen the true potential for web3 technology, despite the recent drop in crypto values, to help artists create and sell their work,” said Miguel Adwin, founder and CEO, Fimi Market. “An opportunity is now emerging for an NFT marketplace that is more widely accessible for those artists who have been traditionally marginalized by both technology and the traditional art world. Fimi is Jamaican for ‘for me,’ and Fimi NFT Marketplace is for them: for women artists, artists of color, Black diaspora artists and those from other underrepresented groups to engage the rapidly-growing NFT art market in ways that are representative, meaningful, and build lasting, financially-successful creative livelihoods.” “Sounds of Blackness is proud to celebrate Juneteenth as an Afro-centric holiday in America,” said Gary Hines, founder & music director of the three-time Grammy Award-winning and two-time NAACP Image Award nominee Sounds of Blackness. “We are offering a special limited-edition and exclusive NFT package of our new single, ‘Juneteenth Celebration.’* Sounds of Blackness recognizes that the metaverse can pave the way for entrepreneurism and economic freedom for historically underserved populations of people." Fimi NFT Marketplace is a multi-blockchain platform that accepts a wide range of crypto currencies. It will initially accept XLM, ETH, and MATIC cryptocurrencies, as well as the FIMI utility token, built on the Stellar Network. The FIMI Utility token provides benefits such as network-free transactions to mint, sell or buy on Stellar for holders of $100 or more in FIMI, reduced fees when sellers choose to receive payment in FIMI, as well as soon to be released perks such as early access to exclusive NFT drops and voting privileges for featured content. The FIMI utility token is available on the Stellar Decentralized Exchange (SDEX) and Bitmart Exchanges. The cost to mint an NFT on Stellar - the transaction fee also known as a “gas” fee - is less than $1 USD. Stellar also has minimal environmental impact for crypto currency: it uses just 0.00022 kilowatt-hours per transaction, compared to Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin, which use 238.22 and 1,575 kilowatt-hours, respectively, per transaction ( source: Statista ). Use of Fimi NFT Marketplace has a fee of 2.25% on each transaction, with a 20% refund if artists choose to get paid in FIMI tokens. (Other NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea and Foundation, can charge between 2.5% and 5% fee on their transactions.) Plus, artists will have the option to defer NFT minting costs until the time of its sale. The Genesis Artists - the first artists to mint on Fimi NFT Marketplace - are discovering a simple, user-friendly art minting experience. These artists include: Miriam Andolini Black Mamuu Nettie Bella Steve Brooks Ron Brown - mint by June 20 Chameleon Arts DroidINX GeekMom Sean Garrison Infinite Villains Kate Iverson Caitlin Karolczak - mint by June 20 Kwame Chris Malachi Mrs. Metal Rashad502 - mint by June 20 Sounds of Blackness - mint by June 20 Precious Wallace Combined with its focus on artists from underrepresented groups, Fimi NFT Marketplace truly puts artists and collectors first: they have the flexibility to mint NFTs on their preferred blockchain, defer minting costs until the time of sale, use multiple cryptocurrencies for buying or selling an NFT, and pay minimal transaction fees. In total, a transaction on Fimi NFT Marketplace means greater accessibility for artists and collectors, with minimized carbon impact and among the lowest transaction fees found in any NFT marketplace. “Minting is super easy and fast,” said Mrs. Metal, a Genesis Artist. “I really enjoyed how it took me step-by-step; even someone not so tech-friendly could use it without feeling like they are going to mess up.” “I honestly like the various minting options,” said Kwame, a Genesis Artist. “It adds a dynamic user experience and allows for a better artist-curated experience on a marketplace. I can tell this was well-thought out.” “It’s important for people from all backgrounds, regions and continents to see themselves in the metaverse as it takes shape,” Adwin said. “Starting with Fimi NFT Marketplace, we aim to help artists from underrepresented groups embrace the metaverse, connect with other artists and collectors to build community, and to help them financially grow so they can focus on what they do best: creating incredible works of art. No matter where you live or how you create or collect art, our goal is for you to see yourself and visualize your own success through Fimi NFT Marketplace - for you to say, ‘Fimi is for me.’” Artists are invited to visit https://fimi.market, create an account and upload their work - either a single NFT or an entire collection. *“Juneteenth Celebration” is produced and recorded by Karl Demer, Atomic K Studios; Rock the Cause Records is distributed by The Orchard. About Fimi Market Inc. Fimi is Jamaican – “for me” – and it’s for you. We strive to help people and communities, anywhere in the world, build financially-successful livelihoods through the potential of technology and the metaverse, in truly multicultural, representative, inclusive and supportive ways.

Cube Network and Capricorn to launch "Start your Cube Journey" Campaign with $1 Million Airdrop

Cube

On the afternoon of June 13, Ethereum’s price fell below $1,200, down 18% intra-day. Its price has nearly been decimated in the past year. Meanwhile, Bitcoin also sank to $23,825, down 13% intra-day and hitting its lowest point since December 2020. In addition to the significant price declines of Ethereum and Bitcoin at this point, many other mainstream tokens also saw steep declines. But in this context, CUBE showed the opposite trend. According to CMC, CUBE began to rise in the afternoon of June 13, with a maximum intra-day increase of more than 60%. Its price has risen nearly 240% since its launch date of June 9. Cube Network and Capricorn are two recent projects which have drawn the most interest and anticipation in the vibrant DeFi ecosystem. To further promote the development of Cube Network 's user ecosystem, Cube Network plans to jointly launch the "Embark on Your Cube Journey” with Capricorn in June, which will comprise three campaigns, namely "Gas 4 you", "Early Bird Super AirDrop", and "Cube Network Ecosystem Invitation". From various perspectives, including project background and campaign strength, it can be readily seen that the “Embark on Your Cube Journey” campaign will inject a massive stimulus into the DeFi market. Cube Network is a high-performance, scalable and modular architecture Layer 1 blockchain. It supports multi-chain and cross-chain protocols, and is fully compatible with EVM and the Cosmos ecosystem. Cube Network is committed to participating actively in the development of decentralized cross-chain protocols, and in Web 3.0 infrastructure to give users the next-generation multi-chain experience. Capricorn is the first protocol incubated by Gringotts Labs, which plans to launch a matrix of DeFi projects to accelerate the expansion of the Cube Network ecosystem. As the first DEX project on Cube Network, Capricorn has received hundreds of millions of USD in liquidity investments. Capricorn's all-round dazzling performance on the Cube Network Testnet has heightened market expectations of its governance token CORN. Crypto pundits speak highly of the newly released tokenomics, which sent price expectations of CORN to new highs. The following are details of each campaign under the “Embark on Your Cube Journey”. Campaign 1: Gas 4 you To welcome the mainnet ecosystem, Cube Network will launch a GAS drop program that covers a million addresses on June 19, 2022. This program is a joint initiative of Cube Network and Capricorn DEX. Users can go to the Faucet in Capricorn to fill in their Cube Network address and receive 0.01 CUBE of GAS. Each address is only eligible for one claim, and each IP address can only claim once every 10 minutes. Opening time: June 19, 2022 Campaign warm-up time: June 14, 2022 to June 18, 2022 Campaign 2: Early Bird Super AirDrop Follow @Cube0x and @CapricornFi on Twitter.

Comcast Washington

The Ready for Business Fund formed by GSBA – Washington’s LGBTQ+ and allied chamber of commerce – and Comcast is now accepting applications from small businesses throughout Washington seeking financial assistance. Small businesses owners may apply starting today, June 13 through June 26, 2022, at theGSBA.org/ready-for-business. More than $200,000 in grants will be allocated to at least 80 small businesses throughout the state. Watch a video about the Ready for Business Fund here: https://youtu.be/DRDM_0A6ITM.

Small businesses located in rural areas of Washington will also be considered. The Ready for Business Fund was founded in the summer of 2020 with a $100,000 investment from Comcast and GSBA as the fund manager. Over the past two years, the fund has distributed $2,500 cash grants to more than 130 small businesses in Washington.
