MarbleDAO, powered by the Juno network and NEAR Protocol, is at the forefront of the DeFi revolution within the Cosmos ecosystem. With NEAR's integration through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), MarbleDAO is advancing towards full cross-chain interoperability. This exciting development will provide our community with expanded opportunities and accessibility, allowing users to explore the vast potential of decentralized finance.

MarbleDAO harnesses the power of smart contract capabilities on Juno and the privacy-focused features of Secret Network to create a suite of decentralized applications (DApps) powered by Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC). Their vision is to establish a privacy-enabled decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem that offers users a safe and comprehensive platform for voting, staking, earning, lending, and trading NFTs.

Exciting News: NEAR Joins the Cosmos Ecosystem

We are thrilled to announce that NEAR, one of the latest blockchains, has enhanced its signature verification host functions to integrate with the Cosmos ecosystem through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC). This development has significant implications for MarbleDAO, which is built on NEAR and the Juno Network.

Moving from Multi-Chain to Cross-Chain

MarbleDAO currently operates on a 'multi-chain' basis, leveraging the strengths of both the Juno Network (Cosmos) and NEAR. However, NEAR's integration with Cosmos via IBC enables MarbleDAO to make a significant leap from 'multi-chain' to 'cross-chain' functionality. In a cross-chain ecosystem, all participating blockchains can communicate and transact with each other, unlocking enhanced interoperability.

Cosmos IBC Protocol and its Implications

The Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, launched by Cosmos in April 2021, is the final element in securing Cosmos' position as the true 'Internet of Blockchains.' With IBC, users gain more freedom in staking, voting, and swapping digital assets through the Cosmos Hub's Gravity DEX. Over time, an increasing number of blockchains have joined the IBC network, facilitating seamless trading of various coins. As of October 2022, 49 blockchains are linked via IBC, with more than 2.5 million transfers totaling $623 million in the last 30 days.

Juno Network's Integration and NEAR's Joining the #IBCgang

The Juno Network, which forms the foundation of the MarbleDAO, is already integrated into the Cosmos IBC. Now, with NEAR joining the #IBCgang, MarbleDAO is poised to offer its growing community the benefits of cross-chain interoperability. Our tokens, including $BLOCK and $MARBLE, will soon be usable across several blockchains connected through the IBC.

Introducing $ARTEX Token on NEAR Protocol

In addition to the existing offerings, MarbleDAO is expanding its reach by launching the $ARTEX token on the NEAR Protocol. This move will make the Marble Platform multi-chain and enable new opportunities for our community. The launch will be accompanied by an airdrop event on March 3, 2023, where participants can receive $ARTEX tokens.

Understanding $ARTEX Tokenomics

$ARTEX represents thier mission of blending ART and EXTENDED REALITY. With a maximum supply of 210,000 tokens, the initial circulating supply will be approximately 27,000 $ARTEX. The tokenomics strategy focuses on minting only the initial 10% for the airdrop, 35% for liquidity in the $wNEAR pool, and incentives for the first year.

The intention of this dashboard is to show and track the activity regarding MarbleDAO on Near Protocol. In addition to tracking the main activity, this MarbleDAO dashboard offers a dedicated user analytics tab. This tab delves into the user profiles and behaviors within the MarbleDAO ecosystem, providing valuable insights into their preferences and activities. By examining the user profiles, their engagement with DApps/projects, and the types of wallets they utilize, entrepreneurs and builders can gain a deeper understanding of their target audience and identify potential partnerships or collaborations within the Near ecosystem.

The MarbleDAO dashboard includes a customizable timeframe feature. This allows users to precisely select the timeframe they want to analyze and focus on, streamlining their analysis process and providing accurate and detailed insights into the behavior of MarbleDAO participants.

The dashboard is divided into different sections, each represented by a specific tab. Each tab provides unique insights into various aspects of MarbleDAO activity since its inception. These insights cover areas such as user behavior, transaction volumes, MarbleDAO activity, staking and swapping activity, and more. This segmentation allows users to easily navigate and access specific information they require for making informed decisions and optimizing their strategies within the MarbleDAO ecosystem.

Overall, the MarbleDAO dashboard serves as a comprehensive tool for visualizing and understanding the activities of the DAO's users, their engagement with DApps/projects, and the overall growth and dynamics of the MarbleDAO ecosystem. It empowers entrepreneurs and builders with valuable data-driven insights to drive the success of their projects and make informed decisions within the Near ecosystem.
