Lado Okhotnikov’s Meta Force Announces Tactile Program Launch – Virtual Things Turn into Real Ones.
[PRESS RELEASE – UAE, Dubai, January 2nd, 2024]
Meta Force is one step closer to launching the Metaverse. The other day, the founder of the crypto platform, Lado Okhotnikov, announced readiness to launch the next Tactile program. This innovative system will combine products, cashback and a unique reward structure through an affiliate program, and will also allow users to exchange virtual items for real ones.
Tactile: making the Metaverse tangible
According to Lado Okhotnikov, the founder of Meta Force Metaverse, the Tactile program allows users to purchase unique digital goods in NFT format which, in addition to the virtual appearance, also have a real one, that is, a physical embodiment.
“As part of our program we call these NFTs “tactile goods” — they can not only be bought in Metaworld but you can actually receive them in your hands in the form of real objects. This is something like a digital certificate for a real item — for example, if you buy a digital T-shirt, mug or even jewelry, a corresponding physical item will be delivered to you in addition to the digital one,” Lado Okhotnikov noted that NFTs will finally find their use in the real world. After purchasing an NFT token, a platform participant becomes the owner of a unique digital asset, which at the same time can be physically used — donate or exchange the corresponding item in real life.
Tactile’s engagement and upcoming reward enhancements
Tactile offers a unique experience where users can engage with digital products. These items, once purchased, can be actively engaged with or retained in their original form. The platform also provides a marketplace for users to exchange or consider potential physical equivalents of certain digital items. Ownership of these tokens allows for a diverse user experience within the Tactile ecosystem.
Similar to the creation of a Metaverse, the business landscape is vast, teeming with unexplored opportunities. We're on a journey to pioneer something extraordinary, where every stride we take is a leap into uncharted territory. It's reminiscent of constructing a virtual universe from the ground up, where innovation and adaptability are essential.
We're still in the early stages, and the road ahead is both thrilling and challenging, much like the entire journey of achievement.
Bitcoin's annual water footprint has been soaring as mining the cryptocurrency sucks up hundreds of billions of gallons, according to a researcher.
The peer-reviewed journal Cells Report Sustainability posted commentary last week from Alex de Vries, a doctoral candidate at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, who estimated that bitcoin's water footprint will hit 591 billion gallons this year, up 278% from 2020.
"Bitcoin's expanding water footprint must be considered in the context of escalating water scarcity," he wrote, citing growing water issues in the western US and Kazakhstan, two large crypto mining regions.
Mining operations rely on computers to solve complex calculations to unlock new bitcoin tokens. As this is energy-intensive, water is used to cool the computer servers that run them as well as air-conditioning systems. Water is also indirectly consumed as it's used to cool power plants that provide electricity for miners.
