UNest Launches Investment Account for Parents and Kids, Offering Significant Advantages Over 529 Plans

Published

on

 

UNest, the first-of-its-kind mobile app that helps parents invest in their children’s future financial wellness, announced the launch of UNest Investment Account, a tax-advantaged custodial account that enables parents to save for more than just their child’s education. In addition to funding college and other educational expenses for their children, parents can use the UNest Investment Account to plan for and cover the cost of goals and milestones such as buying a first car, house, or a wedding.

UNest is the first and only savings and investment app to offer multiple types of saving plans to meet the preferences and priorities of parents when planning for their children’s future. The UNest Investment Account combines age-based saving plans, free planning tools, and advice and advocacy resources from financial advisers. The UNest Investment Account offers five investment portfolio options depending on the age of the child, the family’s unique situation, and their investment profile. Unlike traditional 529 accounts, there are no penalties on early withdrawals from UNest Investment Accounts. Parents can set up their UNest Investment Account in five minutes or less through UNest’s award-winning app.

Traditionally, parents across the income spectrum have had to parse through the multitude of complicated 529 plans offered by each state and by financial institutions to identify the best college savings approach for their children. In addition to complex application processes, 529 plans are often saddled with hidden fees, and subject families to heavy financial penalties when funds are not used for college. Many families are also forced into a savings silo with 529s that fails to reflect their future needs since 529s can only be used for education expenses.

An additional benefit of the UNest Investment Account for Kids is that there is no attachment to the parent’s home state. With 529s, parents often wrongly assume that they can only use the plan offered by their home state. This results in parents often selecting a 529 plan that performs poorly, or is misaligned with their family goals. Once they select a 529 plan, parents then typically have to complete an arduous, paper-based application process. These problems are more acute for lower- and mid-income families that cannot call on financial planners to help navigate to the right solution.

“Our decision to offer The UNest Investment Account for Kids was born out of feedback from our rapidly-growing community of UNest families,” said Ksenia Yudina, CEO and Founder of UNest. “Our users often asked us what would happen if their kids do not go to college, or they receive full-ride scholarships or financial aid. Especially during a pandemic, when a lot of education has shifted online and families are worried that the cost of tuition is simply unsustainable, the new type of account with tax advantages and greater flexibility presented an excellent balance for parents.”

The launch of the UNest Investment Account is particularly timely with the pandemic leading to many families evaluating and refining their future financial goals. This, plus the fact that parents are increasingly concerned about tuition costs, means that flexibility in how funds are used, and avoidance of potentially costly penalties from early withdrawals, are critical requirements.

The UNest Investment Account will join UNest’s existing 529 solution as part of its product portfolio. UNest has eliminated many of the issues parents faced when selecting and applying for a 529 including dramatically reducing the time and effort required to establish and manage a 529 plan. By offering both 529 plans and the UNest Investment Account, parents of all income levels and backgrounds will have access to a solution that meets both their short and long-term needs. UNest develops investment portfolios using Vanguard funds that are recognized for offering the lowest fees in the industry.

Helium Wars Token Secures Top Spot in 2025 Token Rankings

Published

on

helium-wars-token-secures-top-spot-in-2025-token-rankings

Backed by blockchain leader Antier, Helium Wars Token earns industry recognition as one of 2025’s top presale projects, underlining the GameFi sector’s growing maturity.

MOHALI, India, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Helium Wars, the innovative Web3 shooter game powered by its native HELM token, has been recognized as one of 2025’s most promising token presales. Developed with Antier, the project merges AAA game development with true digital asset ownership through its advanced token economy.

A Strategic Leap for Web3 Gaming

Conceptualized and created by Antier’s blockchain specialists, Helium Wars is built to transform decentralized gaming with an innovative blend of engaging PvP gameplay, factional strategies, and a play-and-earn economic model. Based in a sci-fi galaxy where helium is the most desirable energy source, players are able to construct bases, fight for territory, and forge alliances—all while earning money in a blockchain-based economy.

Helium Wars’ key innovation is its token, which serves as the AAA game development in-game currency, reward medium, and governance asset, allowing players to gain real value and participate directly in the evolution of the game.

The HELM Token Economy

The HELM token is the lifeblood of Helium Wars’ ecosystem, acting as both in-game currency and governance tool. The players obtain HELM by competitive play, winning tournaments, and maintaining control over resources, and use it to purchase NFT-based weapons, character enhancements, and unique collectibles. The deflationary nature of the token, with a capped 1 billion supply and deliberate burning mechanisms, supports long-term value growth.

The Significance of Presale Recognition

The placing of Helium Wars Token in the 2025 Presale Token Rankings not only confirms the technical validity and vision of the project but also its potential to secure long-term interest within a saturated GameFi environment. The rankings are an indicator of early-blockchain project potential and are watched closely by both retail and institutional investors.

Contributing to its ranking is the token’s evident utility, well-organized presale mechanics, strong roadmap, and the credibility of Antier as a development incubator. Listing makes Helium Wars stand out from speculative tokens as a long-term ecosystem with actual in-game value.

Tokenomics That Reward Utility and Governance

The token is developed based on a deflationary model with a fixed supply of tokens and intended burn mechanisms for guaranteed long-term viability. The presale is set in staged rounds of rising price tiers as rewards for early participation and support of the community.

In contrast to common GameFi initiatives that are plagued by inflation and token uselessness, Helium Wars prioritizes token demand through substantial gameplay rewards, marketplace engagement, and governance involvement through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This provides $HELM with both transactional and strategic value.

A Roadmap Backed by Experience

Antier’s incubation introduces a solid development framework, extensive blockchain knowledge, and a product-oriented approach to the project. Under Antier’s leadership, Helium Wars’ roadmap includes a phased and open rollout:

Q1 2025

  • First game prototype ready for release
  • Web3 integration and NFT marketplace
  • Online multiplayer
  • NFT sales
  • Character & weapon updates

Q2 2025

  • New game modes
  • New map introduction
  • MVP release on Testnet
  • NFT holders events
  • Website and collateral rebranding

About Antier

Antier, a renowned AAA game development company, provides unmatched blockchain knowledge to the Helium Wars project through its worldwide team of 1000+ certified industry experts. Their extensive GameFi and metaverse development expertise guarantees Helium Wars offers top-notch gameplay as well as sustainable economic models. From smart contract architecture and tokenomics design to game engine integration and wallet interoperability, Antier has provided full-spectrum game development support to transform Helium Wars into a scalable and immersive blockchain game.
