EPIC Games Listed their first NFT Game on the Store.

Did you know?

What is the latest buzz in the cryptocurrency market? The famous creator of Fortnite has added its first NFT game Blankos Block Party to its store.  Not only that, one user paid as much as 36.8 ETH in gas just to mint the first NFT on Ethereum in its Proof-of-Stake (POS) version. 

To date, Blankos Block Party has accumulated more than one million players since being launched in 2020 by Mythical Games. The multiplayer game focuses on unique collectible digital vinyl toys called Blankos, NFTs that can be purchased, upgraded, and sold within the game.

The developer announced that various Web3 gaming projects would be welcomed on Epic Games Store, with Grit being the first NFT project to be included. This announcement, however, does not appear to be well received by users.

For the past few years, traditional gaming brands have been trying to bring Web3 projects into their stores, but the gaming community is strictly against these developments. However, Epic Games appears adamant about adding Web3 gaming projects to the Epic Games Store.

The CEO stated that the Epic Games Store could accept blockchain-powered games as long as they follow applicable laws, disclose their terms, and are thus age-rated by an appropriate collective.

The new NFT-based game thus takes the top spot in Epic Games’ store and will be available from 28 September. Additionally, the game does not require users to purchase NFTs in order to play. Instead, it is possible to purchase and play without using NFTs. Currently, the game is in its "early access" phase.

Blankos Block Party draws inspiration from creator toy heritage and allows users to interact and collaborate in a vibrantly colored virtual environment. NFTs are used in the video game to represent unique items such as avatar creations and gadgets that can be purchased and sold through the market system.

Since its initial release, the video game has partnered with numerous product lines and artist collaborators for limited-edition releases, including Atari, Burberry, and music producer Deadmau5. The video game, however, does not require the possession of NFTs. An NFT is a blockchain symbol representing a product's ownership, such as video game characters, weapons, or virtual territory.Upcoming Blockchain game from GRIT.

As a result of the launch of Blankos Block Party, Epic Games has delayed what Web3 game company Gala Games foretold last June.

In fact, Gala Games had claimed to involve more than 194 million users of the Epic Games Store in its GRIT game, which, however, is still in the “Coming Soon” section of the marketplace. 

Even though the GRIT game has slipped through the cracks as the top NFT-powered blockchain game on the Epic Games Store, it appears that the game's long wait is setting a precedent for other NFT games in the near future.

Paying 36.8 ETH to get NFT mint on PoS.The NFT-mania could make each novelty unique. The user who paid 36.8 ETH in fees to buy the first Proof-of-Stake NFT minted on Ethereum's new blockchain may have been thinking this.

Earlier this month, Ethereum's blockchain was converted from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, relying on staking rather than mining.

Apparently, the user wanted to frame this change by purchasing the first PoS NFT, paying 36.8 ETH in fees alone, an amount equal to over $53,800.

In addition to Blankos Block Party, other NFT games will probably be released on Epic Games Store.  interesting?

Y00ts - the collection from Degods

You probably are familiar with Solana flagship NFT collection Degods. They lead the space with their tough and rowdy bus driver, frank . But what is Y00ts and why is it the only thing on nft twitter can talk about? They have done something that will permanently change NFTs FOREVER and you need to know about it. Let’s take a look and see what we can learn. 

What is Y00ts?

Launched their twitter on July 30th using the words “ we are building y00topia, together.” This project is a beautiful rebranding of the duppies which was the original name of the collection. Frank nixed the idea.. Turns out after asking people that Frank didn’t like the name.. Do you know what a duppy is? It is a west indian word that means malevolent spirit or ghost. But if you are directing duppy to someone then it would mean you want to kill them.. 

Not great for building a strong brand so the collection y00ts was born.. Which is actually an ingenious marketing ploy .. The name change garnered a lot of attention from the community and this put the spotlighting on the project.. But the engagement is skyrocketing.. And you’re not going to believe why…

The y00tlist

3 tweets later.. The y00tlist was born, a new way of doing WL. but how were they planning to accomplish this? 

The community has been plagued with sketchy, backdoor influencer WL bullshit.. This is where influencers are given a large portion of WL to mint then dump on people.. Essentialy making them liquidity vacuums.. 

The team proposed a public VIP WL.. where it was shown on twitter and they would only receive on mint pass.

Thus the y00tlist twitter channel was born. This channel would make a tweet everytime someone was approved for their WL… This created community buzz which we haven’t seen since Okay bears.. There is something i noticed that is pretty reminiscent of okay bears marketing campaign

Its the simply togetherness message. Their message was we are gonna be okay… well y00ts is we are going to build y00topia, together.. Those phrases do a tremendous job of bring people together.. 

Now what makes the y00tlist so powerful? Lets look at a few characteristics that make this so successful..

Exclusivity and scarcity:

They have positioned the yootlist as an exclusive community of the perfect type of people in solana nfts. A play on utopia, meaning the perfect place or conditions.  Frank has made a club that you want to be in so bad you will fill out a form selling yourself to be a part of this community. Tell the judgers every detail on why you should be accepted.. Since not everyone will be accepted, it creates scarcity.. And honestly the fear of the unknown…we don’t know why some people get accepted and why others don’t.. Later we are going to look at some stats tha max shared on twitter so make sure you stay for that part. 

Virality

I dont even know if that is a word or not but it is freaking happening on the twitter page.. I have checked in every day to see how fast it is growing and a rough estimate looks like 2k followers PER day… the graphic that releases when the account tweets is shareable and it is an easy flex so other people are going to interact and RT it.. This creates a snowball effect as the engagement skyrockets with each and every tweet. 

ARE SOLANA NFTS GOING TO ZERO? VOLUME IS AT AN ALLTIME LOW

Many solana NFTs are down 90% from their all time highs. Magic Eden, the leading solana nft platform, has reached it’s lowest volume ever. But it might not be the end of the world like you think and here’s why..

HI, my name is Ethan and this is the NFT Hub: Where we cover Topics about solana NFTs so you are caught holding the bag. If you’re trying to figure out if NFTs are dead, then you clicked on the right video because we are going to cover

1. Magic Edens Volume 
2. User transaction data that may interest you
3. And why solana nfts have more life to live. 

MAJOR projects that launched during or before the solana nft peak in November 2021 are down huge.. 

Here are some collections that you may be familiar with if you been into solana nfts..

Meerkat Millionaires: This project was the king on the block during the beginning of solana nfts.. They were the first project to introduce royalties to the space. This basically meant all the holders would get a portion of the secondary sales which resulted in passive income.. 

Their all time high was 34 sol and right now their floor is roughly 1.2 solana.. Thats over a 96% percent decrease in value.. 

Defi Pirates: 

This project was suppose to change the defi community with their defi games that they were going to develop.. They were holding quite well and influencers would pump them UNTIL one day after their game didn’t perform they ended up rugging the entire project. 

Going from an ath of 9 sol to 0.

The last one was a more recent project that blew up the solana space.. This was OKAY bears.. 

They promised to deliver… well nothing to the solana space.. They just had good vibes and great branding. This simple formula pushed the floor price to an ATH of 262 solana. 

But it didn’t last forever.. The euphoric feeling had to come to an end.. If you bought the top of this project you would only have about 60 solana of value at the floor now.. 

The floor prices have fallen off a crypto cliff but have the users? Lets check out the data behind the community..

MAGIC EDEN

ME is the leading marketplace for the solana ecosystem. If the ecosystem is trading, then magic eden is profiting. They get a cut of every sale on their platform as they ensure the trade goes through.. 

They do not prevent against rugpulls tho. 

The peak of their trading volume came on April 29th as they peaked at 77 million solana. Which is a major payday considering they take a cut of every NFT pie. 

This pump was surely due to okay bears taking over the entire ecosystem. 

When we fast forward to august of 2022 they are hovering around 5 million solana a day… thats a 10 fold decrease from april but dont feel bad for ME.. 

Have you wondered how much revenue they make off of volume like that?

If they do 5$$in a 24 hour period then that is subject to their 2% transaction fee FOR EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION..

So we can take 5.000.000 x .02 and that will give us = $100000 a day at their lowest day..

But why is their volume down? 

This could be a few reasons. Maybe because the price of sol has decreased but weve also seen a decrease in the size and mint price of the new collections. 

This past week we sat down with the original paperhand degen, Sp00n1cus, to talk about the overall market sentiment. This conversation was prefaced with a LUNA disaster and a global crypto crash. 

We talk about what okay bears, cets on creck , and famous fox federation do differently to stay ahead of the pack..

We also talk about how the future will be full of villianz, heros, and broccoli?

Listen in to see how Sp00n plans to bring cybervillianz up to a 40 sol floor price! 
 

This interview is very exciting because the Advisor is a well known trader and nft flipper AKA @sp00n1cus.sol on twitter. We talk about more than just the Cybervillianz - we talk how to make more money flipping NFTs and how you can get on your favorite projects mod/wl team.

This episode is electric and packed full of content that you need to hear.

This interview is a high level breakdown of defi mechanics on the Solana ecosystem with Lifinity Flares community manager/tokenomics. The topics in this conversation are pretty high level when it comes to finance on Solana so don't feel bad if you get lost because some of the topics are pretty confusing.

LP = liquidity pools

I would just google words if you don't know what they mean.

I invite Nick to join the podcast because he knows more about defi than I do!
