One decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoin is dramatically outperforming the vast majority of the crypto markets amid a major market correction.
Maker (MKR), the 52nd-ranked crypto asset by market cap, is up more than 28.5% in the past seven days, trading for $1,570 at time of writing.

MKR is the governance token that supports DAI, a stablecoin that aims to stay pegged one-to-one to the US dollar without any banks, governments or third parties. Amid the collapse of fellow stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) last week, DAI largely kept its peg intact. It’s trading at $1.00 at time of writing.
The crypto markets stumbled with the news with leading assets Bitcoin (BTC) down more than 2% in the past week and Ethereum (ETH) down nearly 12%.
Crypto analytics firm Santiment notes that Maker has witnessed major whale activity and a large spike in $100,000+ transactions in the past couple of days. The firm says “key stakeholders” own an all-time high in MKR supply.

VR treadmill maker KatVR will return to Kickstarter for its next device, the Kat Walk C 2.
A new crowd-funding campaign for the device launches at 7am PT on May 14, with early bird orders starting at $698 (without shipping). The original Kat Walk raised over $1 million on the platform in 2020. As with other treadmills, the device consists of a dish that players stand on with a special pair of shoes and a harness they then strap themselves into. You can then lean forward and run to simulato walking in VR. Check out a trailer for the C 2 below.
Kat Walk C 2 Announced

The C 2 promises several new additions and improvements over its predecessor, including support for a wider array of movements like strafing and kneeling down and improved tracking of your feet’s movements. The device will also be compatible with the Quest platform as well as previously supported headsets like PSVR and PC kits. KatVR also says it’s throwing in improved shoes that will make it easier to walk on the dish.
Once the first early bird tier is gone there will be two more limited tiers increasing the price by $100 each time. The unlimited tier will offer the device for $998.
KatVR will also be offering a further upgraded version of the device called the Kat Walk C 2+ that includes haptic feedback with ‘Vibrate-On-Touch Step Simulation’ and compatibility with controller to offer more moments of haptic feedback. The C 2+ is available as a $200 upgrade to whatever tier you’ve pledged (so $898 for the first early bird tier or $1199 one all early bird tiers are gone).

Kat Walk VR Treadmill Returns With New $1,000 Model On Kickstarter This Week

Axon, the company best known for its Taser stun guns, has announced the acquisition of VR studio Foundry 45 which it says will bolster its VR training offerings.

Founded in 1993, Axon is the company behind the well known Taser stun guns which are employed by police and military forces around the world. In modern times the company has also focused on body cams and software for administration and management of public safety organizations. This month Axon announced the acquisition of the VR studio Foundry 45.
Formed in 2015, Foundry 45 has focused on combining VR with training and marketing. The company says it has built VR experiences for the likes of Delta Air Lines, The Weather Channel, AT&T, and others.
Axon, which has previously offered VR training, says the Foundry 45 team will merge with the existing Axon VR team to bolster the company’s ability to offer VR-based training solutions.
“Virtual reality is rapidly becoming a game-changing training tool across many industries, and the acquisition of Foundry 45 will help accelerate Axon to deliver innovative skills- and scenario-based training in public safety, and will catalyze Axon’s expansion into new growth markets globally,” the company said in its announcement of the acquisition.
Axon says its goal is to use “new immersive technologies to better prepare officers for real-life situations in the field. Axon’s VR products provide virtual reality content that helps officers develop critical thinking, de-escalation techniques and tactical skills across a diverse set of highly realistic scenarios.”
The acquisition appears to have been an all-stock deal, with Axon saying that 29,507 restricted stock units (valued around $3.87 million) were “granted to two individuals in connection with the acquisition,” with a vesting schedule of three years. Axon says the deal also includes up to an additional 15,249 restricted stock units (valued around $2 million) if the company’s VR unit achieves certain performance-based goals.

Axon—which calls its stun guns “non-lethal”—understandably has a vested interest in making sure the users of its Taser products are well trained. Not just for the safety of users and targets but also for liability and the company’s image, which hinges on claims that its weapons result in no serious injury in the vast majority of cases where they are deployed.
One unfortunate incident that recently brought the Taser into the public eye was the 2021 killing of Daunte Wright in Minnesota, in which an officer claimed to have accidentally pulled out and fired her firearm instead of her Taser.
And that isn’t the only time that mistaking a gun for a Taser. According to the Star Tribune there have been at least 16 cases in the US where officers mistook the two weapons, four of which resulted in deaths.
The promise of VR training is not only that it can feel more real—which has studied benefits to lasting recall—but also that it can be cheaper and easier for public safety organizations to deploy, allowing for more training time with a broader range of scenarios and less overhead.
Whether or not VR training could have helped avert the tragic situations mentioned above isn’t clear, but one can surely hope.

A Korean metaverse startup, Doubleme, is said to have raised $25 million in a Series A round that saw the leading South Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung Electronics take part.
Capital Raised to Fund Marketing Efforts
The South Korean electronics and smartphone maker Samsung is reported to have participated in Series A funding which raised $25 million for a Korea-based metaverse startup, Doubleme. The round was led by Coentry Investment and NH Investment.
According to a Techinasia report, the startup, which was founded in 2015 by Albert Kim, Michael Kuczynski, and Heeyoung Kim, will use the funds raised for product development, marketing and hiring purposes.
Doubleme also aims to commercially launch a Twin World metaverse platform that supports artificial reality devices later in the year, the report added.

Twin World, which was launched in November 2020, allows users to create an artificial reality experience in any physical location. Since its launch, the platform has generated about $4.5 million in revenue from its paying customers that are found across 17 cities.
Prior to the latest funding round, Doubleme had previously raised $1 million in seeding funding. In addition, the startup had also received a $16 million grant from the South Korean and the U.K. government. Samsung has been doubling-down on metaverse and NFT concepts for quite some time.
At the end of March, Samsung partnered with Nifty Gateway in order to integrate NFT tech into the firm’s lineup of smart television products. During the first week of January, Samsung launched a virtual version of the company’s electronics store in the Decentraland metaverse world.
