Ready Player One: RZ Officially Launched a Fair-Play Blockchain Ecosystem Built on Gaming, Trust, and For the benefit of the people, Not Centralized Control
Dubai, UAE, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ready Player One : (RZ) Saved the blockchain from the hands of centralized players — now the rise is inevitable — In a world where the concepts of centralization, intermediaries, and financial complexity had cast a shadow over the crypto space, a single voice altered the path — it echoed across the global financial landscape and gave meaning to a name: RZ. A man who built his name on four fundamental principles — innovation, trust, and real profit — stepped into the game. When he entered the field, he didn't just revive the decentralized financial structure; he rewrote the crypto game in favor of the people. Now everyone is on his team — and everyone will win. First Principle: Saving the Blockchain from Centralized Hands — DEX From the very beginning, RZ believed unwaveringly in decentralized exchanges (DEX), stating that 'true trust in blockchain lies in the elimination of intermediaries.' Accordingly, all of his tokens have only been listed on DEXs. No negotiation with CEX, no discounts for market makers. Everything should be transparent, open, and fair — without discrimination, even for anonymous users. That's how a blockchain must be. Second Principle: Gaming is not just Entertainment, but a Financial Philosophy For RZ, the world is a game. He believes: 'If an economic concept is meant for the public, it must be designed like a game — understandable, enjoyable, and rewarding in reality.' This belief is the foundation of his ecosystem — a combination of blockchain, gamification, and tokenization of businesses. Everyone is a player, and through their activities in the game, they are profitable — not just investors. Third Principle: When the Game is Fair, Everyone Wins In the RZ world, there are no losers. Why? Because the game is designed in a way that even without financial literacy, without trading skills, without investment background — everyone can win. His tokens are on a permanent path of growth. He says: 'If only analysts benefit, then the ecosystem is not public.' Unlike traditional markets, his tokens are backed by real fundamentals and purposeful liquidity — not artificial volatility. There's no pump and dump here. This is what makes his market different from others. Fourth Principle: Public Profit Since Day One In the RZ ecosystem, growth and profit are not exclusive to those who 'got in early.' Even if you enter today, you will see your investment grow. Why? Because all project income is injected back into the ecosystem as liquidity, enabling real development — not feeding previous investors. He has repeatedly said: 'When a project profits, everyone profits — not just a specific group.' Why Are RZ Tokens Always Rising? ✓ Limited supply with no Mint function ✓ Locked team and reserve wallets according to tokenomics ✓ No risky features like Mint or Blacklist ✓ Complete elimination of CEX manipulation ✓ Simple and transparent contracts ✓ Public and certified audits ✓ Ongoing liquidity growth in PancakeSwap pools ✓ And most importantly: trust in the RZ personal brand A Quick Look at the Key Tokens of the RZ Ecosystem MGC (MetaGamesCoin): A gamified token rewarding gamers based on competitive global ranking and game activity – RZCoin: The core and native token of the ecosystem — used for payments, gas fees, and transaction management on the RZChain – Insurance Token: An innovative token for risk coverage aimed especially at new investors and DeFi participants; also usable in mining and gaming – Sectoral Tokens: A collection of professional tokens for tokenizing physical assets and businesses in various sectors such as fashion, gold, jewelry, automobiles, etc. Final Conclusion — The Game Has Changed, and the Rise Is Certain The RZ ecosystem is not just another crypto project. It is a movement to gamify the economy and democratize profitability. Here, success doesn't require you to be a trader or analyst — you just need to join the game. Everyone wins,Together, with RZ.

Project Hail Mary is an upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. | Credit: X Ryan Gosling is set to star in 'Project Hail Mary', a film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who've also spearheaded the acclaimed Spider-Verse animated movies. An adaptation of Andy Weir's novel of the same name, the upcoming film sees Ryan Gosling star as Ryland Grace, a middle-school teacher who finds himself on a spaceship with no memories of how he made it there. Finding himself on a sudden mission to save his planet Earth from impending catastrophe, Ryland's plight takes another turn when he encounters an alien, who's on a mission of its own. Project Hail Mary's trailer shows a dying sun Project Hail Mary's trailer shows the Earth as a planet in existential danger because the sun is dying. This impending cataclysm is part of a pattern of events, with multiple stars dying out because of a mysterious infection spreading through the galaxy. Because of Rylan Grace's doctorate in molecular biology, he gets uprooted from his job as a middle school teacher and is inducted into the desperate, last-ditch mission to save the sun from dying, a plan he characterizes as a 'hail mary'. However, while he's willing to offer his knowledge and expertise in the project, he grows reluctant to actually go out in space and investigate the matter directly, with him emphatically stating he's not an astronaut. His amnesiac awakening aboard a spacecraft is implied to be the project's attempt to force his hand. With no choice but to see his mission to its conclusion, Ryland takes command of the spacecraft, only to unexpectedly encounter an alien during his space travels, who he develops a friendship with.

First pop-up comics and games library opens in Punggol Coast Mall
First pop-up comics and games library opens in Punggol Coast Mall SINGAPORE – A new pop-up library with more than 7,000 comics, game-themed reads, graphic novels and board games opened on April 30 at Punggol Coast Mall. Called the Comics and Games Library, it will be open for a year and is a fully self-service facility jointly launched by the National Library Board (NLB), JTC Corporation and local board-game company Origame. This is the first NLB pop-up which features board games. Located at the atrium of Punggol Coast Mall in Punggol Digital District, the library's bright designs reflect the 'fun, adventurous spirit of comics and gameplay', said the NLB on April 30. Patrons can play board games at dedicated spaces within the pop-up, which also allows them to browse and borrow books. The Comics and Games Library will be open for a year at Punggol Coast Mall. ST PHOTO: GIN TAY This pop-up is part of NLB's LAB25 (Libraries and Archives Blueprint 2025) plan – a five-year road map launched in 2021 that aims to encourage Singaporeans to read and become more information-literate. Mr Ng Cher Pong, NLB's chief executive, said in the statement: 'We have been encouraged by the responses to our pop-up libraries, which have appeared in malls, community clubs, and other spaces near where patrons are. With each new pop-up library, we take the opportunity to work with different partners, to bring reading and learning to our patrons in new and engaging ways. 'For the Comics and Games Library, we explored creating a board game space with home-grown game designers, for patrons to learn about Singapore culture through play, and also discover local talents in gaming.' Fans seeking the nostalgia of local comic classics can look forward to a showcase wall featuring titles donated by collectors, including Captain V, Singapore's first full-colour comic. The pop-up is part of NLB's LAB25 (Libraries and Archives Blueprint 2025) plan. ST PHOTO: GIN TAY Patrons can also explore game-themed books like Dune and Ready Player One, as well as learn more about games through a non-fiction collection featuring books on game design history and game strategy. The library features dedicated spaces for adults and children, featuring a range of fan favourite comics such as Bluey, Justice League and Japanese manga collection HunterXHunter. Readers can explore the mother tongue and local comics' eBook collections via the eReads interactive screens. To enter the library, visitors can scan their ID or get a QR code day pass.

Dr Chow, who holds a PhD in linguistics from the University of Ottawa, said board games provide both education and entertainment, in line with the roles of the library. He hopes that this collaboration will provide greater visibility for board games. Among the selections at the library, he highly recommends local game Huat's Up?, a game designed around a local favourite dish, lo hei. Local card game Huat's Up? is designed by Dr Daryl Chow.
