Proof has raised $50 million in its Series A funding round, which was led by A16z.

Proof has shown that it has successfully closed a $50 million Series A round of funding led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Proof's $50 million fundraising round, which was led by Andreessen Horowitz, has come to a successful end (a16z).

During the funding process, there was also help from Seven Seven Six, True Ventures, Collab+Currency, Flamingo DAO, SV Angel, and VaynerFund. In April, Seven Seven Six put $10 million into PROOF.

The company also talked about the technology that runs its Web3 platform and how it plans to grow the whole ecosystem.

The company is now working on making a platform that will help NFT collectors work with communities and unlock utilities.

Kevin Rose, co-founder and CEO of Proof, made the announcement, along with co-founder and Chief Product Officer Justin Mezell and Director of Product Harri Thomas.

Getting money during a live-streamed event for the community. Kevin Rose said this about the fundraising: "It's great to have this vote of confidence from some of the most respected investors in web3, as well as the money to keep delivering great products and services as we grow this business over the long term."

PROOF is working on a Web3 social platform that will be run by the whole community using a voting system called a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization).

Also, people who use the platform will get information about NFT that will help them make decisions.

Once the beta version of the platform is out, people who own PROOF Collective, Moonbirds, or Oddities tokens will be able to show their NFTs on the site.

The company made this announcement soon after deciding to give the Moonbirds and Oddities characters to the public domain.

Which means that anyone can combine the characters to make money. The business switched its two collections under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license at the beginning of the month of August.

With the launch of its new platform, it looks like the company is shifting its focus from the creator economy to the blockchain infrastructure market.

The owners of the two collections were upset with PROOF because they thought they should have been consulted before Moonbirds and Oddities were given to CCO. This made people say bad things about PROOF.

The company also said that it will put Moonbirds on chains and make a new collection called Moonbird Mythic, which will come out at the start of 2023.

PROOF will also make a governance token for its ecosystem, which will be called Proof token. Also, this launch is likely to happen in 2023.

Kevin Rose said at the Future PROOF event, "The world doesn't need another speculation token. When we do something, it should be our own and useful, pushing the limits of what is possible in new and interesting ways.

North Korean hackers are using almost 500 phishing domains to steal NFTs.

The hackers made fake websites that looked like NFT projects, NFT marketplaces, and even a DeFi platform. Hackers with ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group are said to be behind a massive phishing campaign that targets investors in nonfungible tokens (NFTs). The campaign uses nearly 500 phishing domains to trick people into giving away their personal information. SlowMist, a blockchain security company, released a report on December 24 that showed the methods that North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have used to trick NFT investors out of their NFTs. These methods include putting up fake websites that look like different platforms and projects related to NFTs. Some of these fake websites include one that pretends to be a World Cup project and others that try to look like popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible. SlowMist said that one of the methods was for these fake websites to offer "malicious mints," which trick the victims into thinkin...

Brazil's Federal Revenue Requires Citizens To Pay Taxes On Crypto Trades

The Federal Revenue of Brazil wants investors to pay taxes on cryptocurrency trading profits, even if there is no exchange for Brazil's national currency. Brazil's Federal Reserve (RFB) has declared that Brazilian investors in the crypto-asset market must pay income tax on transactions that involve the like-kind exchange of cryptocurrencies; for example, Bitcoin (BTC) for Ethereum (ETH). The RFB's declaration was published in the Diário Oficial da União and was the result of a consultation made by a citizen of the country with the regulator. At the end of last year, the group issued an opinion in which it claimed that trading between cryptocurrency pairs is taxable even if there is no conversion to the real (Brazil's national currency). Although it does not specify what can be understood as "profit," since in the exchange of one crypto asset for another there is no capital gain in fiat currency, it points out that there is, even so, the obligation to pay t...
