GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the SLAM Foundation announced that key contributors from across the crypto industry are coming together to launch SlamNet, the information economy of Web3.
SlamNet’s mission is to power the flow of enriched, trusted data in Web3 and fuel the intelligence, commercial and financial applications critical to its prosperity and growth. It will empower a community of incentivized creators building upon its platforms.
"As Web3 continues to mature and mirror traditional economies, SlamNet will be the needed infrastructure to power its information economy,” said Randy Wasinger, Founder and CEO of CryptoSlam. “CryptoSlam is excited to be a key contributor to this groundbreaking effort.”
CryptoSlam is bringing the power of its market-leading Web3 data refinery and wide-reaching audience to SlamNet as its flagship data provider and launch contributor. Its team has been working closely with Animoca Brands since December 2023 on various aspects of SlamNet, including tokenomics, legal and strategic support.
Animoca Brands is a global leader in gamification and blockchain with a large portfolio of over 450 investments in Web3. Its mission is to advance digital property rights and decentralized projects to help build the open metaverse.
“Animoca Brands is proud to contribute to SlamNet’s vision as its tokenomics architect,” said Mohamed Ezeldin, Head of Tokenomics at Animoca Brands. “This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for Web3 because of the origin and maturity of the SlamNet ecosystem, which developed out of the need for NFT data and insights, and we’re excited to lend our support to its continued growth.”
The SLAM token (SLAM), to be launched by SLAM Digital later this year, will be the currency of SlamNet’s information economy and play a critical role in its governance through the SlamNet DAO. Details on the initial distribution of SLAM, to persons and places where the law allows, will be announced over the coming weeks.
Also to be announced is a growing list of additional contributors from across the industry who will be helping SlamNet fulfill its mission.
Upcoming educational forums will be held on social channels for industry partners and end users to learn more about SlamNet and how to become involved. In the meantime, the public is invited to explore the SlamNet Litepaper at www.slamnet.xyz and follow SlamNet on X for the most recent updates.
