Air Race Sport is the most advanced aerial challenge in existence, the event involves competitors navigating a challenging obstacle course within the fastest time. Pilots fly individually and complete tight turns through a slalom course consisting of pylons, known as “Air Gates.” Flying just meters from the ground, they race against the clock whilst reaching speeds of up to 370 km/h, requiring a combination of precision and skill unmatched in the world of aviation. Pilots must be in peak physical condition as they endure forces up to 10G while navigating the technical racetracks made up of air-filled pylons.

個案分享 : Web 3 Voting for Ms. IMX 2022
Environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance have become important new topics for enterprises.
Decentralized solutions provide a transparent, simple, and efficient platform for ESG transactions and charity activities for organizations. Smart contracts can be utilized via NFTs to essentially tag and trace funds and how they are used.
Web3 Voting systems and surveys ensure safety, transparency, confidentiality, and real-time processing. Voters can be anonymous with all voting records securely stored on the blockchain, free from tampered or falsified, and can be audited and verified. The system automatically collects and processes votes in real-time with minimal labour.
For surveys, Brands can provide products or services as choices of rewards to customers and generate forward-looking market data by analyzing the customers’ choices.
In Web3, brands and consumers jointly find ways to increase the brand’s quality and value of the membership together.
Using blockchain technology, brands can design and mint membership NFTs to reward their loyal customers. Each NFT serves as a “digital membership card” that has a unique member ID.
Membership credentials (member status/levels) can be upgraded along time as members achieve various milestones as they achieve various Call-To-Action tasks assigned by the brands.
1. Members can claim and redeem services/rewards (i.e.: Members’ gift, special discount, unique products) with decentralized loyalty points.
2. Subject to the design of the brands, these membership NFTs can be tradable, often at higher value as membership status advances, which incentivizes members to continuously “engage to earn” with the brand.
Brands can leverage blockchain technology to build immersive metaverse and Web3 game experiences. Virtual destinations allow brands to bring their products and values to life. This creates customized experiences for consumers to connect and interact with brand’s products and services in the Web3 world while generating new revenue streams.
Web3 O2O Commerce System (WOCS) can help on-site promotions to increase the conversion rate from visitors.
WOCS can function as an O2O ordering tool, membership system, loyalty program, payment gateway and marketing tool.
Brands can also run an NFT live minting event to support hybrid Web3 marketing campaigns in both the virtual world and physical venue.
WOCS can also function as a cost efficient cross-border payment solution.
Trade is a fundamentally decentralized system and is heavily intermediated–predominantly by banks, insurers, customs officials and other market participants. The decentralized nature of blockchain makes it a perfect fit for trade finance.
Trade finance documents or obligations can be tokenized into NFTs. Storing ownership data on blockchain reduces the costs and complications of paperwork that is otherwise required to verify the process.
Tokenizing the payment guarantee of the final buyer and digitizing invoices for factoring can also help credit supports to SMEs.
NFTs can simplify and streamline trade finance assets, which will facilitate institutional investors to enter the market.
Traditional ticketing or couponing systems have proven to be vulnerable to fraudulent activities, which has led to lost revenue and dissatisfied customers. The unique ID and decentralized nature of NFT makes it a perfect next generation upgrade for traditional vouchers, coupons, and e-tickets.
By utilizing blockchain, brands can issue digital coupons/tickets that are unique, tamper-proof, and traceable. These features make it extremely difficult for fraudsters to create counterfeits. Additionally, blockchain enables organizers to track the entire lifecycle of a coupon/ticket, from its creation to its redemption, which can help prevent scalping and unauthorized reselling.
Decentralized Affiliate Marketing Program (DAMP) solves the non-transparency and payment cycle issues from the traditional Web2 affiliate marketing program.
DAMP tracks the promotion efforts from Web3 affiliate marketers on the blockchain. Affiliate marketers can earn commissions from promoting goods and services without being a reseller. When a transaction occurs as the result of such promotion effort, the smart contracts track and verify the sale and instantly releases the agreed upon commission to the affiliate’s digital wallet.
