What’s the NFT game Tencent & Alibaba Rush into?

Published

on

In June 2021, Alibaba and Dunhuang Arts Institute jointly released two NFTs, Dunhuang Flying Sky and Nine Color Deer App skins, which were limited to 16,000 in the world. The works were looted as soon as they were released.

On June 26, 2021, NetEase and Nervina Labs released their first NFT work on Taobao.

On August 3, 2021, Chinese tech giant Tencent’s  NFTs trading platform -Huanhe launched 300 copies “Vinyl Record NFT” authorized by TV program “Thirteen Invitations”, and sold out instantly.

Chinese giants’ capital is vying to chase, and it’s so fierce. So far people can’t help asking, what is NFT?

Meet NFT

NFT is short for Non-fungible Token,which is relative to the concept of Fungible Token (FT), each NFT has a unique and only identification, which is not interchangeable, and the smallest unit is 1 and indivisible.

Generally, BTC, ETH, etc. we familiar with are Fungible Token. For example, BTC everyone owns is same, it’s interchangeable with each other, can also be divided into 0.1, or 0.01 without affecting the value and use.

NFT represents indivisible and non-interchangeable items in reality, such as a real estate certificate, a famous painting, a piece of game equipment and so on. They are all unique, and completely lose their value and practicality after being divided. The most typical are collectibles and artworks. These products with non-fungible genes are digitized and tokenized using blockchain technology, and they have become popular NFTs today.

NFT is one and only

Economics stipulates that currency is a unity equivalent and a carrier of consensus on value. In modern society, personal wealth is no longer measured by currency holdings, but includes the value and quantity of assets under his name. Its assets include but not limited to items with market value such as houses, cars, stocks, etc. In most case, the value carried by an asset often far exceeds the value of the cash value they hold. However, real assets have two major shortcomings: poor liquidity and high cost of confirmation. For example, the determination of the right of a house needs to rely on the registration of the Housing Management Committee to determine the ultimate ownership of the house.

But in the blockchain world, the assets we currently have are BTC, ETH with currency attributes. After meeting demand for monetary assets, a value medium of non-monetary assets will naturally emerge, and this is NFT. Relying on the decentralization, immutability and cryptographic authentication of the blockchain, NFT solves a series of problems of real assets:

• The asset is unique and cannot be faked

• Strong liquidity, real-time trading;

• Cryptography is the confirmation and cannot be tampered with.

In addition, NFT also has features that cryptocurrency does not have. Its unique features can be used for identity certification, item ownership certification, virtual props, etc. NFT makes crypto assets more practical, enabling users to expand the utilization of valuable assets in the form of NFT, and is protected by blockchain technology.

NFT Boom Out

NFT is not a new thing born this year, it has made any public appearances early in 2017, but more regarded as a niche thing within Ethereum.

So, what is the real important promoter of NFT out of the circle?

First, let’s ask a question: How much would a digital picture be? The answer is $69.3 million!

On March 11, 2021, an unknown artist Beeple collaged his daily art work for the past thirteen years into a digital picture called “everyday: the first 5000 days”. At Christie’s, it was sold for $69.3 million, which shocked the world.

Overnight, NFT became the outlet. This 40-year-old American painter also made great fortune overnight. The popularity of NFT has caused a huge sensation in many fields such as art, venture capital, and finance.

Commercial filed such as NBA, Samsung, McDonald’s, Marvel, movie stars, etc. are all releasing their own NFT products, and venture capital industry such as Three Arrows Capital, Signum Capital, NGC Ventures, Coinbase, etc. have begun to invest in this field. Internet giants such as Tencent, JD, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all laying out the NFT battlefield. The opportunities and challenges brought by NFT are more than that brought by the mobile Internet to the Internet.

From the perspective of business history, iPhone, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. were initially used by industry insiders. After going out of the circle by marketing, products, and the trend of the times, the entire society began to accept them, and they evolved from product for a specific group into mass infrastructure. Although the development of NFT is still at an early stage, the boom out of NFT will continue the historical trajectory and accelerate the application of blockchain technology. It is of great significance for promoting the digitalization of society.

NFT Bright Future

Except crypto artworks, will NFT have wider applications? We can find that NFT will be widely used in the future. For example, the recent popular NFT+DeFi and NFT+game, as well as the concept of meta-universe, are inseparable from the future development of NFT. The physical application of NFT will solve many problems for the society, such as: 

First, intellectual property. NFT can represent a painting, a song, a patent, a film, a photo, or other intellectual property rights. NFT can help each unique thing to register the copyright and help it identify the patent.

Second, physical assets. Real estate such as houses and other physical assets are digitized through NFT. It can be used in financial markets such as the circulation of assets.

Third, records and identification. The unique features of NFT, can be used to verify identity and birth certificates, driver’s licenses, academic certificates, etc., to prevent abuse or tampering.

There will be many physical applications of NFT in the future, which will surely solve various practical problems for the society. Presumably this is the ultimate goal of various giant capitals. As the world’s first physical digital economy token trading platform-BtLux Exchange focuses on the implementation of blockchain scenarios that are closely related to people’s lives.

Different from other cryptocurrencies with no entity value support, BtLux regards the underlying innovation of the blockchain as an important breakthrough in the independent innovation of core technology, and takes the use of blockchain to trade, calculate, and record to promote real economic activities on the chain under supervision. At the same time, realize the market operation and value management of digital assets after the certification, redefine the interest distribution relationship of producers, consumers and participants, and form a brand new financial and business model.

Soon, BtLux will accelerate the integration of NFT and physical enterprises based on years of experience in the implementation of blockchain physical scenarios, provide top-level business architecture design and digital economic model design for physical enterprises, and jointly build “blockchain” + “new ecology”, So that participants in the entire chain can benefit. It would bring tangible benefits to the real economy and the entire society, and be widely recognized by the society, making digital currency a living water, flowing in the real economy, and bringing benefits to the real economy more vitality and new power.

NFT is a new world brought about by the technological explosion era, and the digitalization process of the real world in the next ten years will also be greatly accelerated. In the future, only when NFT accelerates the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, the technological value of the blockchain will gradually emerge in this process. It will be able to bring new business models and reconstruct distribution models, market structures, organizational forms, and industry relationships to promote human beings to a new era of digital civilization, and in that, BtLux will become an indispensable promoter.

Explora Books to Host Book Signing with Dr. Don Steele at the BIBF 2026

Published

on

Explora Books will host a virtual book signing with Dr. Don Steele, author of No Soldier Left Behind: The Life and Times of Brigadier General John G. Kulhavi, United States Army, Ret., at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Part of Dr. Steele’s Legacy Book Series, the biography highlights Brigadier General Kulhavi’s life of service, leadership, and dedication to duty.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 10th Jun 2026 – No Soldier Left Behind chronicles the remarkable journey of Retired Brigadier General John G. Kulhavi, from a modest upbringing in the Polish-Catholic community of Hamtramck, Michigan, to combat service in Vietnam and later leadership in corporate America. During his military career, Kulhavi flew more than 300 combat missions as a helicopter pilot, often transporting wounded and dying soldiers from the front lines. For his service, he received numerous military honors, including two Distinguished Flying Crosses, a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, a Legion of Merit, twenty-two Air Medals, Master Aviator Wings, and sixteen additional decorations, ultimately rising to the rank of brigadier general.

Following his military service, Kulhavi joined Merrill Lynch, where he established what became the first financial advisory team in the brokerage industry. Working with then-chairman Donald Regan, he secured approval for the initiative, which went on to transform regional advisory operations. His team became a leading performer in the Midwest for several years, and Kulhavi was later recognized by Barron’s as one of the Top 100 Financial Advisors and Top 100 U.S. Stockbrokers for more than two decades.

Beyond his corporate career, Kulhavi has made significant philanthropic contributions, donating millions to Central Michigan University in support of neuroscience research, ROTC programs, and athletics. In recognition of his impact, multiple campus buildings and venues now bear his name.

Through conversations between Kulhavi and Dr. Steele, the book offers a portrait of both public service and personal conviction. It reflects his enduring values of teamwork, resilience, and integrity, grounded in his guiding principle: “My word is my life, and my life is my word.”

Dr. Don Steele earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts from Central Michigan University and his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University.

Arcium Hits 1 Million Computations as ZINC, powered by Arcium, Breaks Solana’s Top 3 by Revenue

Published

on

Arcium is now the largest and fastest-growing confidential compute network in the crypto. At the same time ZINC, powered by Arcium, is now a top-3 revenue-generating protocol on Solana.

June 10, 2026 — Arcium, humanity’s supercomputer and confidential compute network on Solana, has processed more than one million confidential computations. In the same period, ZINC, one of the ecosystem teams building on Arcium, has broken into the top three protocols on Solana by 24-hour revenue.

Arcium now executes more than 200,000 confidential computations every day, roughly 20x the throughput of its next-closest competitor. That makes it the largest and fastest-growing confidential computing network in the world.

ZINC — top 3 on Solana by 24-hour revenue

Built on Arcium’s confidential compute layer, ZINC now ranks as the third highest revenue-generating protocol on Solana over a 24-hour window. In under two weeks it has attracted $18M in deployed capital and generated $1.8M in fees.

ZINC demonstrates that confidentiality is not a constraint but a competitive edge — one that lets teams build better, more compelling products than transparent rails allow.

The largest active confidential computing ecosystem in crypto

These milestones rest on an ecosystem that has compounded steadily since mainnet alpha. Arcium is now home to the largest active confidential computing ecosystem in crypto:

  • 12+ apps shipping across 7 categories
  • $7.5M+ raised collectively by ecosystem teams
  • $155M+ committed to Umbra’s ICO — the largest in Solana history — now with over $3M in volume processed in roughly two and a half months
  • Nearly 4M transactions on mainnet

Four Pillars recently published a deep-dive report on the ecosystem and its applications. Confidentiality as a narrative has never been more prominent and Arcium is leading it, with the numbers to show for it.

AI STUDIOS Launches AI Course Builder: Turn Any Topic Into a Full Course

Published

on

The new AI Course Builder feature inside AI STUDIOS auto-generates complete e-learning curricula — sections, lessons, and quizzes — from a single prompt, with native AI avatar video production and one-click SCORM export.

PALO ALTO, Calif, June 10th, 2026, AI STUDIOS on Monday launched AI Course Builder, a new AI-powered feature that generates  a complete, structured e-learning curriculum from a single topic input — compressing a process that once took instructional design teams weeks into a matter of seconds.

AI STUDIOS is DeepBrain AI’s flagship B2B SaaS platform for AI-powered video creation. Built for enterprise scale, it enables organizations to produce hyper-realistic AI avatar videos, localize content across 150+ languages, and deploy training and communications materials without cameras, studios, or production staff. Used by companies worldwide for corporate training, marketing, and internal communications, AI STUDIOS serves as the production backbone behind AI Course Builder’s video integration.

The tool targets a persistent gap in the corporate training market. Demand for scalable e-learning content has grown sharply across HR teams, training companies, and independent instructors, but existing solutions have forced organizations to choose between full-featured LMS platforms that require specialist expertise and simpler video tools that lack any curriculum design capability.

AI Course Builder addresses both constraints at once. Users enter a topic — “New Employee Onboarding,” “Data Privacy Compliance,” “Sales Fundamentals” — and the platform returns a fully structured course: sections, lessons, and quizzes, sequenced for learning progression. Every element is then editable via drag and drop, with no instructional design background required.

Each lesson connects directly to AI STUDIOS’ video production layer. Instructors can attach existing AI avatar videos or generate new ones without leaving the platform, drawing on more than 1,000 AI voices across 150 languages. The integration is designed to eliminate the need for cameras, studios, or production staff — a particular advantage for global organizations building multilingual training libraries.

The platform goes beyond passive video delivery. Quizzes and role-play-based scenario lessons are built in natively, giving learners interactive touchpoints throughout the course. Role-play scenarios are particularly suited to customer service, sales, and compliance training, where applying knowledge in realistic contexts improves retention. DeepBrain AI said it plans to extend the feature with interactive avatar integration in future releases.

Finished courses export as SCORM — the universal e-learning interoperability standard — enabling one-click deployment to Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, or any compatible LMS. A built-in Play Course preview lets creators review the learner experience before publishing, with learners able to track their progress and complete lessons in sequence.

The announcement adds competitive pressure to established course authoring platforms including Articulate 360, iSpring, and Adobe Captivate, which are widely used in enterprise training but require dedicated specialists and extended production timelines. AI Course Builder positions AI STUDIOS as an end-to-end alternative — one where AI drafts the curriculum architecture and the course creator refines it.

“AI Course Builder enables the full online course workflow — curriculum design, video production, learner engagement, and deployment — in a single platform,” said Eric Jang, CEO of DeepBrain AI. “Our goal is to make professional-quality e-learning accessible to anyone, regardless of technical background, and to help enterprises accelerate their shift to digital training.”

AI Course Builder is available now inside AI STUDIOS. The feature is free to use at aistudios.com.
