New Feature: Revival V1.4.0 Version With Mystery Box Feature

Mystery Box originated in Japan in the last century. Merchants put different items ​​into the same type of boxes. Buyers never know the items until the box gets paid and opened, which means the “mystery” will be revealed the moment it is opened. If the buyer is lucky enough, they can draw high-value items. This kind of surprise brought by uncertainty has inspired everyone, especially young people. Now Mystery Box machines can be seen everywhere, proving that Mystery Box has become an emerging economic model with huge development potential.

Artist Showcase: “Design Future,” Meta Universe Architect Anna Andronova Joined Revival “Medici Support Program”

Anna Andronova, the founder of “Super-Dimensional Meta Universe,” also known as the first generation of Meta Universe Russian architects who won the bid and built a landmark in China, joined Revival “Medici Support Program.”

NFTs Showcase: Building A New World, Anna’s Super-dimensional Meta Universe “The Grand Paris of Niger”

The Revival NFT Marketplace now lists Anna’s NFTs series “The Grand Paris of Niger,” the first Meta Universal architect from Russia. In this auction, the auctioneer with the highest bid will get a customized NFT avatar created by Anna as an additional surprise.

Although Anna has won more than 100 awards in her traditional architectural design, the dedication to space drove Anna to transform her style from conventional to Meta-Universe design and made her the first batch of architects in this area.

About IOST

High fees and slower transaction times on the Ethereum network have left the door open for new solutions to emerge, and IOST is one such project that has been gaining traction since its mainnet launch in 2019.

Backed by major financial and VC firms such as Sequoia, Matrix, and ZhenFund, IOST is a pioneering decentralized, high-throughput, gas-efficient Proof-of-Believability-powered smart contract platform built to tackle the scalability trilemma once and for all. For this, the concluding ranking from China’s CCID ranked IOST as the best blockchain platform under Basic Technology, better than Ethereum, EOS, and every other smart-contracting platform evaluated by the agency. This is a testament to the quality and ability to roll out a better, innovative product and reflective of our true desire to be the best in the sphere.

Being one of the public chain leaders in terms of adoption, performance, and utility, IOST remains committed to our mission to unleash the power of blockchain. IOST currently has the ever-expanding 500,000 community members in over 20 countries, over 400 nodes, a top staking economy, symbiotic relationships with corporations dotted worldwide.
