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

Malaysia-Based ONE COMPANY Foundation Unveils ONE WALLET, a Keyless Telegram-Native Wallet on TON
Foundation-backed Web3 wallet replaces seed phrases with 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody; publishes Whitepaper V1.0 covering product, security, and the $1 token utility model.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – ONE COMPANY, a foundation registered with SSM, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, today unveiled ONE WALLET, a Telegram-native Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. The foundation also published ONE WALLET Whitepaper V1.0, detailing the product, security architecture, and the utility model of its $1 token.
ONE WALLET targets the gap between custodial exchange wallets — easy but centrally controlled — and self-custody wallets, which are powerful but ask mainstream users to memorize twelve-word seed phrases and install separate apps. ONE WALLET inverts that order: users open Telegram, complete a lightweight device check, and transact. There is no seed phrase to write down and no app to download.
At the core is a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. A user’s signing key is split into three shares — held by the device, the user’s Telegram account, and an offline recovery share. The wallet is designed so that no single party, including ONE WALLET, can move funds alone: any two shares are combined briefly on the user’s device to sign a transaction, then discarded. Any one share alone cannot reconstruct the key.
As a foundation-led initiative, ONE COMPANY frames ONE WALLET as the financial entry point to a broader digital ecosystem spanning fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services built on blockchain. The foundation’s stated mandate includes research and education for Web3, user protection and transparency, and regulatory-compliance systems.
“Most people will never write down a seed phrase, and they shouldn’t have to,” said James Kim, CEO of ONE COMPANY. “Our job as a foundation is to make self-custody feel as natural as sending a message — and to do it with security that’s honest about its boundaries. Opening private testing and publishing our whitepaper on the same day is a deliberate choice: we want users, partners, and regulators reading the same document.”
ONE WALLET’s roadmap moves from the core wallet (multi-chain send, receive, and swap) to a QR-based payments rail with merchant settlement, followed by the $1 token utility layer and an ecosystem of partner mini-apps. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
About ONE WALLET
ONE WALLET is a Telegram-native, keyless Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. It replaces seed-phrase backups with a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model and is designed to combine a wallet, a QR-based payment rail, and the $1 token ecosystem in a single Telegram Mini App. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in EN, KO, JA, and ZH.

Confimarket Wins HackCanton Season 1 with Privacy-Preserving Consensus and Market Intelligence Infrastructure Built on Canton Network
NEW YORK, NY – Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.
Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.
The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.
Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.
Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows.
“Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly,” said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. “That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases.”
Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.
Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.
During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.
The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.
Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.
Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team’s next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.
Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.

Inquiries for Brazil’s digital nomad visa have doubled since January 2026 as Carnaval 2027 approaches and the Florianópolis nomad scene logs a 96 percent jump in check-ins. With the festival eight months out and consulate processing running 30 to 90 days, applicants now have a narrow window to qualify. Rio de Janeiro immigration lawyer Camila Araujo Mota, who leads the only Brazilian law practice focused exclusively on digital nomad visa applications, says her team is reviewing more files in the first half of 2026 than in all of 2024.
Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, 29th May 2026 – Brazil’s digital nomad visa is suddenly the hottest residency permit in Latin America. Weekly inquiries to specialist law practices have doubled since January, the Brazilian National Immigration Council has registered more than 3,800 nomads to date, and Florianópolis, the island city that just ranked seventh among the world’s fastest growing remote work hubs, logged a 96 percent jump in digital nomad check-ins during the first five months of 2026 alone. The next catalyst is already on the calendar: Carnaval 2027, scheduled for February 5 through 13, is forecast to surpass this year’s record 65 million revelers and 300,000 international tourists.
For nomads hoping to attend Carnaval 2027 as residents rather than visitors, the application clock has already started. Most do-it-yourself digital nomad visa applications take three to six months to process. The festival is eight months away. The window to qualify is narrowing.
A two-year build that just hit escape velocity
Brazil welcomed 9.3 million international tourists in 2025, a 37 percent increase over the previous year and the highest annual figure in the country’s tourism history, per Embratur. The Brazilian Ministry of Tourism is targeting 10 million for 2026, which would put Brazil among the fastest-growing major tourism economies in the Western Hemisphere.
The digital nomad share of that traffic is rising faster than the average. Tourism boards estimate digital nomads spent R$1.2 billion across Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, and São Paulo in 2025. The Florianópolis Tourism Observatory projects the city will host more than 10,000 long-term nomads per year by 2030, generating R$1.5 billion in annual local economic impact.
Globally, the digital nomad population reached 43 million in 2026, more than double the level of three years earlier, according to Nomads.com data. The services market built around them grew to US$54.5 billion this year at a 22 percent compound annual growth rate, per Research and Markets. Brazil sits in that market with the lowest income threshold for nomad residency among G20 economies: US$1,500 per month or US$18,000 in savings, against Spain’s €2,849 monthly requirement and Portugal’s €3,680.
The Carnaval 2027 trigger
Carnaval 2026 set the bar. The national festival drew 65 million people, a 22 percent jump from 2025, with 300,000 international tourists across the country and 110,000 to Rio alone. Rio’s local economy gained an estimated R$5.9 billion. Bahia drew 3.8 million tourists to its own Carnaval. Hotel occupancy in Rio hit 98 percent. International ticket purchases to Rio between February 13 and 18 ran 9 percent above the previous year, with Chilean demand up 41 percent and American demand up 11 percent.
What turns short-term visitors into long-term residents is not the festival itself, but what they find after. Embratur reports that 95 percent of international tourists who visit Brazil say they want to return. A growing share are now returning on a residency basis.
The lawyer who saw it coming
“What we are seeing in 2026 is a fundamentally wider applicant pool,” says Camila Araujo Mota, the OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer who founded GetBrazilVisa and is the only attorney in Brazil focused exclusively on digital nomad visa applications. “South Africans, Greeks, Singaporeans, and Australians are now applying alongside Americans, Brits, and Canadians. Brazil has become a year-round residency choice, not a Carnaval-week trip.”
Why Brazil out-positions the alternatives
The country’s competitive edge in 2026 is the combination of cost, infrastructure, and visa terms.
A comfortable digital nomad lifestyle in Florianópolis or Curitiba runs between US$800 and US$1,500 per month, depending on neighborhood. The same lifestyle costs US$2,700 to US$4,800 in Lisbon, the benchmark European nomad city, and US$2,200 to US$3,200 in Mexico City.
Internet infrastructure no longer poses the question it once did. Brazil ranks 26th globally for fixed broadband at a median 222 megabits per second, per Ookla. Brazil leads South America in mobile speeds at 260 megabits per second, nearly three times faster than the second-place country in the region. Fiber-to-the-home plans at 1 gigabit per second are available in every major city.
The visa terms hold up under comparison. The VITEM XIV grants one year of residency, renewable for a second year. Foreign-source income is not taxed in Brazil for residents staying under 183 days per calendar year. Spouses, children, and parents qualify as dependents at US$60 per month each. Total government fees, including the CRNM card fee that rose to R$204.77 on January 1, 2026, and the consulate visa fee that lifted to €120, range between US$433 and US$1,159 depending on nationality and route of application.
Portugal’s D8 visa, by comparison, requires €3,680 in monthly income, more than double Brazil’s threshold. Spain, which sits at the top of the 2026 Digital Nomad Visa Index, requires €2,849 monthly and levies a 24 percent local tax rate on Spanish-source income.
A service built for the moment
GetBrazilVisa was founded by Mota in 2022, the same year the visa was created under Normative Resolution CNIg No. 45 of 2021. The firm has processed more than 50 digital nomad applications to date, with a 95 percent approval rate and a 30-day average processing time. Do-it-yourself applicants average three to six months and roughly 85 percent approval. Every applicant works directly with Mota, with no paralegals, junior associates, or ticket systems between the client and the lead attorney. The firm serves applicants from 15 nationalities across five languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Arabic.
For a full breakdown of the Brazil digital nomad visa requirements, including the updated 2026 fee schedule, complete document checklist, and consulate-specific notes, GetBrazilVisa publishes a free guide.
