There are currently a plethora of crypto enthusiasts and experts who have embraced the industry, but not many have as much experience and expertise as British-born Micky Irons. With many successful crypto and NFT projects under his belt, he is considered one of the most influential marketing experts in the world of cryptocurrency and DeFi.
Micky Irons a great entrepreneur as well as a crypto marketing expert with considerable expertise a Chief Marketing Officer in addition to other advisory roles.
Prior to entering the crypto market, he worked as a CE&I Commissioning Engineer for Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure where he was responsible for the management of the coordination and technical control on site. His role was to ensure the achievement of required project delivery aligned with the customers’ objectives, while maintaining standards of health and safety, quality, environmental impact and cost control. Additionally, he was in charge of ensuring accurate implementation of all engineering controls and compliance with the contract drawings and specification through working with the sub-contractors and suppliers. Along with that, producing risk assessments and method statements for safe execution of the works.
Since then, Micky has worked as an entrepreneur to manage the growth of ventures such as DeSpace Protocol, where he led a successful launch as the marketing team’s sole member, and SportsIcon, where he has collaborated on cinematic NFTs with renowned athletes such as Floyd Mayweather, Romelu Lukaku, and Mike Vic. He’s also worked on initiatives such as Gamerse, Hololoot, and Metastrike’s marketing.
Gamerse is the new home for the metaverse social economy and gaming NFT. The fragmented NFT gaming ecosystem is being unified by their cross-chain, cross-domain, and cross-verse solutions. Hololoot introduces the world’s first AR NFT generator, marketplace, and metaverse, all of which are targeted for mass adoption. It combines the latest breakthroughs in automated 3D modeling with the unique qualities of NFTs to generate an app that is both powerful and easy to use, according to AR industry veterans. Finally, Metastrike is a blockchain-based role-playing shooting game with a variety of weapons for players to equip themselves to complete missions, rise to new levels and earn NFT tokens. Players can amass a weapon collection, construct a battle map, and take NFTs from other players. Metastrike is a first-person shooter project that can be used as a starting point for creating your own FPS game. Many fundamental features for modern multiplayer FPS games are included, including weapons, characters, projectiles, shells, explosions, game types, and more.
With Micky’s assistance and experience as an entrepreneur, DeSpace has launched their platform for the next generation of DeFi and NFTs in order to address the industry’s existing difficult issues. The DeSpace DeFi and NFT aggregator will bring together the DeFi and NFT protocols onto a single website, allowing users to browse the web while mining Des coins. The improved yield farming approach will let users participate in a variety of liquidity farming and mining initiatives. Yield farming is the practice of staking bitcoins in order to earn more of them as passive income. It all comes down to bringing liquidity to a platform and profiting from it. This strategy is similar to keeping traditional cash in a savings account.
DeSpace Protocol has chosen to review the concept of NFTs by projecting the true value as intended when the concept was initially formed, in order to set themselves apart from the competition. The DeSpace ecosystem will include a multifunctional NFT marketplace with particular functions and integration with other platforms, allowing NFT holders and traders to buy, sell, stake, and swap NFTs.
In addition to their aggregator, DeSpace offers DeSwap, DeLend, and DeChain services. DeSwap is a multi-chain and cross-chain DEX that employs the AMM protocol to provide limit orders, staking, margins, and even futures trading for easy crypto-to-crypto trading. The DeLend protocol, on the other hand, is a lending platform that produces income by issuing stable currencies that are backed and secured by a portfolio of frozen assets.
The system operates on a layering basis similar to that of a solar system. Each new layer will complement the previous one by revealing the unknown and latent elements in the previous levels at the same time. In this way, the layers will complement each other. Each layer can be thought of as its own cosmos, operating independently of the others.
The DeSpace platform was inspired by the MakerDAO paradigm, which was one of the first DeFi protocols on the market. This paradigm is both time-tested and successful. Finally, DeChain enables customers to make full use of many blockchains on a single platform, while also simplifying navigation and access to their DeFi and NFT suite of goods and solutions.
With this platform, celebrities can collaborate and bring their unique NFTs to their fans around the world. Movie stars, musicians, and other popular content creators are among those developing NFTs with DeSpace and promoting the platform to their audiences.
So far, the DeSpace team has collaborated with celebrities including popular singer, actor and TV host Aditya Narayan, Punjabi and Telugu movie actress Payal Rajput and actress and sports presenter Karishma Kotak, who gained immense popularity through Bigg Boss. The platform is yet to reveal other celebrities who have NFT drops.
Users can use DeSpace to communicate with numerous DeFi protocols from a single web-interface using the most comprehensive DeFi aggregator. They can also mine DES coins when they utilize the aggregator interface to execute DeFi and NFT transactions. Users can purchase, sell, stake, and transfer NFT assets via DeSpace Protocol, regardless of the marketplace where such assets are traded, and they earn DES coin for each successful transaction.
The DeSpace Protocol team is made up of individuals from all around the world who work in different time zones but are linked by a common passion for cryptocurrency and decentralization. They have taken all of the greatest ideas and established their own unique solutions to construct a healthy and decentralized ecosystem from many sectors of the DeFi and NFT niche, based on their years of experience and passion for the industry.
Additionally, through Micky’s marketing expertise, SportsIcon‘s platform provides high quality, cinematically filmed chapters with icons, packaged as NFTs. Here, fans can learn insights, knowledge and untold stories from an iconic life and career. By supplementing these insights, fans can own an expression of a career through rare, beautiful, athlete curated digital art.
