GazeTV private access was started since 30 March 2021. The public version has announced to go-live today. Currently the platform has gained over 360,000 minutes of video content. The platform has successful gained traction, creators such as Gramatik, one of the well known electronic musician and crypto-artists, has started an official channel on GazeTV platform. It is expected thousands and thousands of creators and audience worldwide are joining. The Unique Tokenized Reward Mechanism, a Technological Breakthrough GazeTV allows community to earn rewards through the content creation and consumption. The reward mechanism is coordinated with a hybrid model of on-chain and off-chain automation. There are multiple rewards for example Content Upload Reward, Engagement Reward, and Bounty Program. GazeTV advocates a culture of direct support. Audience can use their reward to unlock paid-content, or directly support and donate creators which help to strengthen the audience-creator relationship and motivate creators to produce even better content. Creators can freely set the price of the content and manage those with just a few clicks. Convenient Automated Content Synchronization and Data Analyzation for Creators. Removing In-Stream Ads to Improve Users’ Viewing Experience. GazeTV provides an automated content synchronization feature. Creators can easily bring their content from other platforms such as Facebook and more than 455 millions WordPress sites to their GazeTV channels in a few easy steps, saving time on uploading videos. GazeTV also provides detailed data analysis for creators. Through simple graphs, creators can gain knowledge on the background of their audiences, including viewing habits, interests, age and location etc., helping them create content that better accommodates their audience. GazeTV also aims to improve the users’ experience by removing all in-stream ads so viewers can focus on the outstanding video content. The “Gazer-lization” Strategy and Roadmap Mr. Jack Cheng, Co-founder of GazeTV says, “At GazeTV, we’re repairing everything that is broken with social entertainment platforms.

GazeTV uses a brand new tokenomic model to build an empowered and engaged Gazer community. We highly treasure creators and audience engagement. This is our mission - Every second counts.” According to GazeTV roadmap, the platform development is divided into 3 phases, each with different objectives.

Calls for housing and landmarks for UK’s derelict land - Romal Capital survey

Romal Capital

With Britain still in the grip of an on-going housing crisis, property developers Romal Capital sought the views of the British public on regenerating derelict land and brownfield sites. The national survey* found that 59% of Brits are calling for derelict land to be converted into modern, efficient housing and a place for cultural landmarks. More the three-quarters (77%) feel that when brownfield sites are regenerated, they bring a sense of freshness, art and culture to an area improving the lives of everyone around it. However, as these sites stand, 74% believe that derelict sites are eyesores on the nations landscape. Romal Capital’s survey reported that over four-fifths (83%) of respondents feel Westminster governments have failed to prioritise regenerating brownfield sites in their area, in recent years. People in the North East of England (90%) felt strongest about this followed by those in the South East (85%). It follows that a lack of commitment from central government will have a regional impact. 79% of people pointed the length of time it takes for decisions to be made as the most significant hurdle to change. “It’s great to see that people across the country want see their areas improved and repurposed. However, it is clear that speed is the issue more than ambition says Romal Capital’s CEO Greg Malouf. Regeneration and planning have a lot of due process and extensive local bureaucracy, and it is this that needs to be restructured to get things going. Local authorities need more support and resources to streamline these processes and fast track regeneration of these sites.” What to do with all this space? A 2020 report** from the countryside charity CPRE found there was over 25,000 hectares of brownfield land across 21,000 sites in the UK. Enough to fit over 1 million homes. The survey discovered that almost a third (30%) of people would most like to see cultural landmarks built on this unused, derelict land, while a similar amount (29%) want to see modern, efficient homes and communities built to help solve the nations crippling housing crisis. When it comes to regenerated outdoor space, over a quarter, (26%) are in favour of new recreational facilities. “Many people are desperate for somewhere permanent to live and keen to see former industrial and undeveloped areas turned into new, progressive housing neighbourhoods and community hubs.” says Malouf “The authorities must become far more proactive and flexible to allow this to happen.” Notes to the editor *Research findings based on a survey of 2,000 UK households carried out in April 2021 for Romal Capital by LMRMC (Market Research Society approved partner and ESOMAR corporate member). **CPRE Report 2020 About Romal Capital Romal Capital is an international award-winning property developer based in Liverpool. The team brings to the city over 60 years of combined property development experience from across Liverpool, and other major UK and international cities.
