Cloud Computing Is Flawed. Can The Blockchain Help Fix it?
 
 
Cloud computing is the backbone of the modern world. Almost any interaction a user has with their smartphone is funneled through the vast and omnipresent cloud. Computations and communications critical to businesses small and large all rely on the cloud to function.

As it stands, the infrastructure that powers the cloud is highly concentrated in the hands of a few companies – and with it, control. Amazon alone oversees roughly a third of all traffic in the cloud.These companies use a “hyperscale” model, building massive server farms that span football fields. Today, over 700 have been built. Their data centers are often considered an environmental nightmare since they use enormous amounts of energy.

Cudo Ventures is betting the blockchain can provide a solution.

Everything You Need To Know About NFT Derivatives
 
 
Here are the key takeaways of this article from Binance:
  • NFT derivatives are NFT collections that look extremely similar to popular NFT projects.
  • While there are NFT derivative projects created without the intention of building long-term value or an engaged community, not all derivative NFT projects are merely cash grabs.
  • When looking to purchase any digital assets, always do your research and make sure you’re aware of the risks and what you’re purchasing.
