all right, everyone. This is the roadmap work. It's Tuesday. Hopefully everyone had a good, long holiday weekend. I'm seeing a lot of people here in the chat, including some people who might have some super stickers and emojis here. Benzinga actually just launched our subscription service on YouTube for 3 99 month.


You can get those custom emojis and be one of our, a star supporters. And who knows, there may even be some emojis coming soon with maybe my face and or Brian space. So you definitely would want to sign up so you can get those and use those in the chat while we're talking, because what better than to show off those wonderful faces.


I want to give a big shout out. To today's sponsor FTX U S one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. In terms of trading volume of daily users, the FTX app is used by over 6 million people to buy crypto and NFTs with no transaction or withdrawal fees. You can use your phone or computer to use the FTX us trading plan.


And it offers NFT trading on both the Ethereum. And so lineup blockchains with no gas fees, you can find out more by clicking the link in the description of the video below or in the chat right now. So if you have not signed up for an FTX account, the information is all right there. And again, shout out to FTX for sponsoring today's episode.


I want to go ahead and bring up. My cohost Benzinga zone. Brian Moore, Brian, what's going on buddy? Oh pretty good. Now, after we got those technical issues out of the way, we're ready to rock and roll technical issues. It feels like a Monday, Brian, it's not it's Tuesday, but I'm pretty much thinking it's Monday, all day.


So I would expect technical issues and more issues to come. But. Yeah we got some stuff to talk about. We got a lot of NFT news some events that happened over the weekend. And then we did get the big news that  our friends FTX are launching a new gaming division. We'll get into that.


And we thought that since we're going to talk about NFT games, maybe we should take a look at five play to earn an Ft games that should be on your radar for our viewers and our listeners. What do you think of that? I love it and want some more. Definitely. All right let's dive in to the news flow here.


So it's Tuesday, AKA Monday or Tuesday. One of the things we always like to start the week with is a look back, right? So let's look at the top 10 NFTs by sales volume of last week. And topping the list was a Zuki 33.7 million up 47%. NFT world's 27.1 million up 171%. This is similar to the central land and the sandbox a metaverse play a virtual world.


We also saw efforts up 48.6%. We had Eden horde, Kobata AXI, infinity, tasty bones, board, API club, three, Landers and clone ax, rounding out the list. Just to highlight a couple of Zuki has a floor price at 12.49. And FTE worlds. That's a collection of 10,000 17.49 east. And then am efforts 4.59. I remember when that thing was trading at a floor of 0.2, it has risen significantly.


People are using this as their profile picture. It's almost the new crypto punk  style, a lot of people in it. And then of course, some new ones Eden. Tasty bones, but then we also saw board API club Clonex and ACCE remaining in the top 10. And then which we're going to talk about later on the plater earn NFP game on the avalanche blockchain, Brian showing some strength being in the top 10 for two straight weeks.


 We don't often see avalanche projects in the top 10, and now we have one that's been there two weeks. What catches your eye and stands out to you top 10 lists. I like what you just said about how avalanche is now. The second week in a row, they're on a top 10. That's just, that's a lot of good news for avalanche.


It shows a little sustainability and a little good inkling that we'll have more to come. I like that the M efforts is top three and cause that project is a little, it's fun. It's interesting. And there's like some stuff. Hidden stuff in there that if you're a part of the community, you know about, I don't know, a lot of deep dive into it, but I've seen a lot of talk on Twitter and I just liked that project just cause was fun and vulgar and I don't know, it just makes me smile.


So that's good enough for me being on the top 10. I'll take it. That sound, a game in blockchain project that's on there. I think that's the most interesting aspect of it all. Yeah.  We talk about the top 10. The other thing Brian I'd know is so out of these 10, five appeared on last week's list and five were new either a return or brand new to this top 10 list.


So it's nice. We got to change the pace here. NFP world. Brian, we've been talking a lot about decentral land in the sandbox. Those are the two big plays, right on the metaverse NFTs and Ft worlds. Those starting to show some strength almost as like a a former third wheel that could be a triple threat here.


 I know a lot of. Very high floor price. Now, 17.49 last I looked, I haven't looked today. But the one thing I know is crypto debt, oh, 15, eight now at the time of this episode, crypto dads, which I own some NFTs and crypto moms, they have land and NFT worlds, and they're going to launch their own universe there.


And along with that, you'll be able to  participate and maybe earn some of the world token. Just for playing some games. And FTE worlds. I like what it's offers. Cause it's all about connecting your project, your community, and you can essentially build your own world. It's also compatible with Minecraft, which is obviously one of the bigger games out there.


Yeah. There you see crypto dad's right there. And I hadn't looked at what the world token was. But my guess is that maybe that one could see some some volume here as this project grows.  Not financial advice, but I would definitely keep that one on radar. And Brian, I'm excited to explore NFT worlds just like looking at the sandbox and the central land.


All right. Moving on from the top 10, we did get big news out on Thursday, and it's been that long since we last talked to all our listeners and viewers here, world of women, which is a project we've talked about several times. Reese Witherspoon features a world of women as her profile picture on Twitter, and she's taking it a step further, her hello sunshine, which is a production company, signed a storytelling partnership with world of women.


So they are going to build out a character universe that includes films, scripted and unscripted television shows based on world of women. Hello, sunshine also wants to launch and highlight other women led NFT products. You're not familiar with world. The women. It's a collection of 10,000 women NFTs. It had a mint price of 0.07 back in July of 2021.


 Lots of celebrities have gotten into this one and guy Oseary who also has a deal with boredom yacht club. Was signed as the representative of world of women.  No surprise that media was coming here. This project has shot up in value. Just insane. It's gotta be getting close.


To at least being considered a blue chip at this point. And Brian so we're at 9.25 east floor. Now it actually came down over the last 24 to 48 hours. How about this media deal though? Movies and TV and coming from hello, sunshine, Reese Witherspoon. It's the same company that actually produces the morning show, which is a show on apple TV with Boone and Jennifer Aniston.


Yeah. So that's one. So I know the company. What do you think of this media deal? No, it's huge.  It's enormous and I'm very excited about it cause it's going to lead to a lot of stuff. And then a T space.  This isn't, we're not gonna break this dance or anything yet, but we do have some interesting guests lined up coming soon that have other TV shows.


  Different production values tied to it that we're pretty excited to talk about. And I'll fill you that in later, because I don't know if I want to worry if we're a ruined anything or if I'm even allowed to really talk about it yet. But there's a lot of stuff happening in this space.


And it's really exciting in this deal itself, I think is going to spearhead just so many new. Crazy great projects and different ways it's going to disrupt the media industry as a whole. So I'm super excited. I think it's great news. I think we could talk about this for hours. Yeah. And maybe we'll do a special episode sometimes to Brian that a new show that you were talking about, maybe when that.


Announced, maybe we do an episode talking about all the NFTs related to a TV shows or movies. Cause we have this one now with world of women, we have board a yacht clubs sign that talent deal, crypto punk signed a talent deal. So maybe they announced film or TV show eventually. And our friends at robotics they have an animated series coming with the robotics and the robo pets.


 There's a lot to like in that space and a very exciting time. And I fell all day, which is from dapper labs. It's a  the same company that brought NBA top shot. So if you were with us a couple of weeks ago, I know Brian wasn't, but I'm sure he was watching from the sidelines.


I opened up a pack of NFL all day. So there was three moments in that pack. I have a couple unopened packs that I'll be opening on future episodes. So if you want to see me open those, definitely let me know in the chat right now and hit me up on Twitter. I was able to score a pack on Friday, which will have a rare or legendary moment inside of it, along with eight others, including some super bowl moments, but the marketplace for NFL all day is going live today, Brian.


So that was something I said last week. NFL all day launch these packs, but you weren't able to sell the moment. And now the NFL season is over. So are they losing some of that momentum? With the marketplace launching today, we'll get to see real fast. Whether these have high volume of transactions.


If the price drops on them, if people are making more money than they spent on the packs, et cetera. So I have. Rare Patrick, my home's a numbered two 1200 and last I looked Brian, the lowest listed price was $1,400. So I will be following along. Cause I don't know if I want to hold onto this, my homes or sell it today.


 I want to see what we get for a volume. What do you think the all day marketplace opening today? You think we see a surge today and we reach peak or you think this will  happen over the next couple. Ooh. I don't know what the it's really interesting to even think about because it's new and this is like a Kind of a trading practice, if you will, that's much older than NFTs, but now that we've tokenized it and made it digital, it's a whole new ballpark, but I can't say either way, but I can say that I bet you it's going to gain a lot of traction.


I think over time, we're going to see a lot more volume and interest in this whole aspect because there's already there's YouTube videos. That are directly made just for opening packages. I've seen people where they accidentally drop a card and it's $50,000 and nothing looks bad about it, but because they dropped it on videos.


Now the value has tanked three fourths of what it was worth. It just crazy. I don't know. But yeah, I think there's going to be a lot of interest and we'll see a lot more value in these than we do now. As soon as it's launched. Yeah. Who knows? Yeah. And the other thing to watch is NBA top shot has done a real good job of doing like collections and challenges.


So like right now during the NBA season, if you like collect the top scores of every night, you may get an extra pack.  They're going to tie in some fantasy football into this over the next season.  Today in the next couple of days could be the days to S snatch up some of these low priced moments and sit on them until next year.


Cause I don't know if the values are going to skyrocket necessarily now, but I think we're going to see increased volume when the NFL season starts in September. Something to keep an eye on there as well. All right let's move on up next. We have the women try, which we talked about last week.


They had their mint and their reveals. So Eva Longoria, who hosted a spaces with the team, she put out a tweet showing off some of her women tribe there. You can see them on screen. This has a floor of points three to nine, and I was hoping it would come down a little bit. I wanted to get one of these, but right now just sitting on the sideline, I wasn't able to meet these.


 But now that we have the reveal I'm going through some of the images. They're real cool. Look  earthy, some vibrant colors. Brian, what do you think of a women tribe now that we have the reveal out here? The look you said, I liked the colors. I like how how they pop.


And I think I've said it earlier. I really liked the pastel colors, but I like how this has a neon aspect to it. And little bit almost cyber punk mixed with that pastel kind of edge. I liked the artwork a whole. Thing is really unique compared to yeah, and it's not a guarantee, that all women led NFT projects are going to run, just because that has been a trend lately, but with a floor price of 0.3, two, this does offer a little bit, a better entry point than some of these other women led NFT projects. So definitely one on my radar.  And I'll be looking at some of these.


 Now that mint and reveal is done. All right, guys, let us know if you are watching live right now. Again, shout out to all our live viewers on YouTube. Let us know in the chat. The chat is rather quiet today. We'd love to hear from you. And if you're listening to us or watching this after the fact, let us know, hit Brian and I up on Twitter, or leave a comment on this YouTube video.


We want to know where all our loyal fans are and maybe let us know where you're listening or watching from. So we can see that global audience that we have. Brian. I think it's time to get into today's big subject, is play to earn NFT gaming. I'm so excited that over the weekend, I found out from our friends at FTX, who of course are sponsoring this episode, that they are launching a brand new gaming platform.


 So this is going to be FTX games. Which is going to provide complete solutions for companies and projects seeking to grow in web three. So they're recognizing the monetization efforts of NFTs and web three and the the head of FTX gaming. There's a future where 2 billion gamers get to own what they earn and we want to help build it.


So they're calling the new segment F a or FTX as a service. They're going to offer an end to end solution of their core product to launch NFTs and tokens, our custodial wallet with non-custodial integrations, primary and secondary. Compliance and license syncing and more so I'd like that there really being that back end behind the scenes thing behind the thing supporter for some of these gaming companies or these NFT projects.


  They obviously see huge growth ahead in NFTs and gaming. This is huge news and they have some job postings and in those they're looking for software engineers and people.  A specific familiarity to unity game engine from unity software, unity game engine. One of the biggest gaming platforms out there responsible for helping build around 50% of the top downloaded games.


 FTX launched a hundred million blackchain gaming fund in November. And of course, FTX raised $400 million in January when they were valued at $32 billion. Brian, I just said a whole lot of stuff. I'll let you chime in now. FTX gaming. What do you think of.  You've pretty much laid it out. Word for word.


What needs to be said, I think is really exciting. I think, like you said, a unity is one of the biggest software engines to build software platforms to build software that there is out there. It almost every game that you've ever played, anyone's ever played as somewhat been either influenced or built by unity.


So that's going to be big. I think that they have actually been in the web, not really web three, but the crypto space because people have integrated a web three or NFTs or blockchain technology into video games for a while. Relative to how old blockchain technology is. So it's going to be exciting to see this go mainstream.


Of course, anything FTX does or touches. There's going to be a lot of money. That's going to be put into it. So you know that there's going to be a lot of Skilled professionals that are going to be building on this platform. And there's going to be a lot of resources that they have available to them to make it as good as it possibly can be.


So it's pretty exciting and we're in a really cool time and error era that we're about to see something. Most influential technologies be built, be it gaining or tokenizing of assets and stuff like that. And plus video games are so mainstream. Now, unlike whenever I was a kid, you were a nerd, or even though it was fun to play video games, you were nerdy.


If you played all the time, which I still do. But now it's cool. And people are making our professional athletes are e-sports game gamers and they're making millions of dollars. So having this be tied into it with all that money and revenue and high popularity who knows where we're going to be.


And it's awesome that we're having some of the biggest savings in crypto and the gaming space and gaming development mashed together. So we'll see some cool things come from. Yeah. To me again I used the phrase that our CEO and founder likes to use with some stocks and some companies, the thing behind the thing, companies that help power other companies behind the scenes.


And to me, that's what I see FTX doing here with its gaming platform. We all know FTX as a cryptocurrency platform. We know it as a growing NFT marketplace for Ethereum and Solana. And now we're going to get to know it as a gaming platform. They're not going to necessarily build out their own games.


 They're going to provide that infrastructure for companies wanting to launch games, and there is such an unmet need. In this space and that's why I'm excited. And again if FTX was public, if open sea was public, if looks railroads, public, those are the types of companies that I'd be investing in.


 Because they're not a one trick pony, we're going to see some of these different NFT projects come and go,  it's part of what it is. It's unfortunate, but a lot of them will not be around. Couple of years from now, right? And your NFTs of those projects may lose a ton of value. But the ones that stick around are going to be the ones that engage with their communities, provide utility and the companies that are going to benefit the most are these companies like FTX that are working as a platform as a infrastructure place. So I like this move by FTX. And the other thing I'll say, Brian  I was a big video gamer as a kid.


 I like to play some mobile games now and some of those games cost money. A lot of them are. But the more time you spend, you can level up your character, you can earn rewards in the game. What do you have to show for it? A lot of times, right? You can't sell your character.


You can't sell in game items unless a few sell your whole account.  I remember when Pokemon go was huge, right. And I played that and people were selling their whole accounts. So you could get an account with a bunch of legendary. And  complete your polka docs, but what if they had a marketplace in there right where you earn along the way, and you're able to sell those items.


That's massive. And it's going to increase engagement if you're a gaming company and you have a way for people to earn. Th you're going to have people want to play it. I just feel like that's a fact and the big companies that I know working in this space that we've talked about, Brian Ubisoft and Zynga.


 And I think we're going to see more gaming companies. Get there, but I just think FTX is ahead of the game here and we're going to get more announcements of gaming partners out of them. What do you think, Brian? When you play games, would you love the ability to sell some of that stuff that you earn along the way and maybe  make some money to where you can spend it in a game or elsewhere?


I think that'd be cool. Yeah, absolutely. Especially if you spend a lot of time and work and what's While you're doing it is to create this extra source of income or it'd be your main source of income. Yeah. I think that's a great way to do that. I think it's awesome to be able to sell sell your work and what time you put hours into it, instead of just collecting it for a hobby, you can make it a living and Brian, I do see a question here in the chat from a black Buddha, which I'm guessing.


So it says, I totally agree with. But why are gamers so mad about NFT earning? So my guests here is that there's been this old adage for a while  brian of   played a win or pay to win, right? Where people who have a lot of money can buy items and essentially they can win because they have the best items.


So that would be the unfortunate side of NFTs in the marketplace is that yes, you're going to be able to buy items and possibly have a leg up on the competition, but that's  a free market society within the games. And to me again a game like Fortnite, you pay 10 or $15 for a skin.


That doesn't give you an advantage in the game. It's just an aesthetic thing. I would much rather have an advantage if I spent the $10 or $15, right? Like that's me. Maybe I'm on the the minority side here, but that's what I think. Brian, what do you think of you're spending 10 to 15 bucks on a scan.


I think. I might be wrong, but in my opinion, I think that's more geared towards younger kids  where it matters what your character actually looks like as opposed to what advantages it gives you, because hell I'd ever pay $20 just for a skin for it to make my character look good because either you're in first person mode, so it doesn't really matter.


Or it's just showing off online that doesn't matter. But like you said I still, I'm not going to pay $20 to get myself an advantage in a video game if there's like a way to earn it. And even if there wasn't, I wouldn't really care that much about it, but I know that Paying for some sort of service or utility that it brings besides just cosmetic or subjectively makes yourself look better.


I wouldn't do that. But yeah if I get like an unlimited gun or instead of having to crank out 10, 15, 20 hours on a game to get a certain loop box, I can pay $9 for it and get all the guns that would have taken me. A month to get then. Yeah. That would make sense, but not just for some aesthetic or if it gives me no value in it gives me some advantage rather.


No. Yeah.  There's definitely a ton of work here  in the gaming space, but I just really feel  we're early, still. And again, I I think that. Gaming is a big area for NFTs to tackle. Yeah. We don't want you to spend that much on skins either Chile. That's a lot of money.


 Shout out to Shelley here in the chat. One of our, one of our loyal viewers and yes, Alyssa is here. And is the best NFT producer, to be honest, I would agree. And I think Brian would as well. So shout out to. All right. Let's get into some play to earn games that Brian's. So there are some that are already out and that are being built.


 Aside from this big news. So probably the most well-known play to earn game is ACCE infinity. And it really took the world. And world global scale by storm last year. We got people in some countries earning a little. Playing and breeding with their axes. So in ACCE infinity, there, there's a couple of ways to earn money.


 You need three axes to play the game and you start accumulating the two tokens, SLP and AXS, and then you can breed your axes. So if you have two axes that haven't been bred much before you pay for a X S N amount of SLP. That scales along the way. So then you've got a waiting period as you get those axes.


There's obviously a lot that goes into this. I'm not an expert on. But I do want to share. Brian, we got massive news that Axion infinity passed the $4 billion sales volume milestone, $4 billion in transactions for that game. And that came less than five months after they hit the $2 billion sales milestone in September.


So in five months, $2 billion more there's 166,870 axes in the game. Over $45,000. 1.9 million transactions.   And   to point out how massive acts the infinity is it's actually the third largest NFT marketplace with $4.14 billion open. See 21.85 billion looks rare, 16.8, 5 billion.


And then ACCE is third on the list. So they're in game currency. Surged and in price in 2021, it hit a high of a hundred sixty five thirty seven, and now trades at 48 82 ACCE ranks. First, all time beating out crypto punks and boarded yacht club, which of course have a much smaller collection size.


We did see ACCE dropped 40% in sales volume last week, but it still was on that top 10. And I saw news out this week that ACCE announced a partnership with bit to me, which will help grow the brand in Southern Europe and Latin America. So it doesn't look like axes going away anytime soon, Brian, I still haven't played ACCE.


I really want.  Having to own three when they were around $250 each, I shied away from it, but I think you can actually get it much cheaper now. So I'll definitely be taking a look at ACCE now.  And maybe play it just to say I played it and maybe to earn a little alarm the way.


Yeah, I think it's really cool. We've had a on mineral bus, we had one of the co-creators of XC on, and it was crazy just to see him or just to speak with them and talk with them. And that was right when they were first blown up. And that was what, two, $3 billion ago.   It's just, yeah.


This game taking the world by storm. It's awesome. It's it really revolutionized? Play to earn. And they, even whenever they first started, they made it a little bit more fair where people didn't weren't priced out from playing. And then once that it blew up, they even brought it down another peg.


So even know people were priced out, they made it a little bit more fair and they keep doing that as it grows. And it's just really cool to see that. They care about the community and see what this game single Handly has done for other players to earn and FTE games and just revolutionize gaming as a whole and disrupted it from its core.


It's pretty neat. Yeah. Definitely it  it's really cool to see what ACCE has done. It's been really successful. And again all along with that being said, I just want to. I want to experience it.  So I can say that I played it and whether or not that means I earn money along the way, but it's really cool to see.


And they really helped pioneer the play to earn in the NFP space and the fact that it's still so massively popular all these months later is a Testament to their success. So shout out to act. Brian, this next one I'm excited to talk about, but it's another one that I still am in the middle of doing more research on for myself.


And it is the horse racing game, photo finish game based on so Lana, and if you were with us, when we interviewed Solana legend, it was one of the five Solana projects that he said he liked best. It is like the Zed run of Solana and it is being developed by several former employees at electronic arts.


 Brian, speaking of video games, electronic arts, one of those. Gaming studios out there and yeah. Get in the game. And they brought a lot of people over to this game from EA they've already built a live simulator. That's been used by media companies, including CNBC. They also launched a mobile game previously that didn't have the play to earn mechanics.


So they already have proven six. They mentored their male studs in September for around $70. When we had legend on, he said that the male studs were going for $600 each. When I looked Brian, I think the cheapest horse I could get was a little under $800. So we're already starting to see this go up and remember the game hasn't launched.


But they did just start breeding. So that's an important element, right? That they're doing breeding already before the game launches. They have a unique breeding system where, you know, those horses can only breed a certain number of times. I don't know if you ever played Zed, Ron, Brian, but that was one of the biggest takeaways for me was that breeding.


You could breed it. Three times a month and their supply has just been so massive now that the valuation has also dropped, right? Because now that you have so many horses, everyone can own one. There's no longer a scarcity of supplies. I like what Photofinish is doing here with their game, you're also going to be able to obviously horse your horses against each other.


There's going to be a token. You can earn. There's just so much to this game. And also the fact that it's not going to be on a Sirium, those transactions are going to be a little bit cheaper. It's going to be fast. Brian. I know you are a fan of this project when legend was on. Have you done any more research?


 Or is this something that you're still interested in here with? So I've been a little bit more in a research in, I did try to buy a horse, but I was priced out. I couldn't actually figure out how to utilize it and play it, which I really wanted to. And I did get to the point where I gave up.


So I was hoping to maybe we could run through it on a show on how to play and actually use some of these games maybe later this week, or on an upcoming show dish. Users like, this is how some of these work and especially this one, because I think this is one of the cooler ones, especially being on Salada and being you have the little gas fees, like you said, you can breed them.


And so there's more there's more. Of them out there that you can own. I really like this one. I'm still interested in it. I'm in no means  a written off the game.  I'm all about it. I don't know much more about it though, but yeah, I love it. All right. If you're watching us live, let me know in the chat.


 I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it today, Brian, but should I buy an $800 virtual race horse? In the future, I want to know. Let me know because yeah. I know. Brian's going to say yes. And I know some of you guys out there are going to say yes, but we'll have to do this on a future episode where I dive into the world of Photofinish.


Again, I do have some experience with Zed run. I never owned a ton of horses over there and the breeding by the time I got in, again, it just wasn't as successful in valuation because the supply had increased. So much over time. But yeah, so photo finish next on the list for play to earn.


And then we move over to one. We talked about a couple of weeks ago sky Weaver, which is a free to play trading card game from horizon blockchain games. So this is a TCG, right? Similar to magic the gathering or. I did play this one. This you did see. Yeah. So I downloaded it. I've played it. I haven't earned any of the NFTs yet.


I'm working my way up through, I'm working my way up through those battles bride. Cause I, I want to earn them. I want that that reward at the end. I want to be able to sell them or say that I have some NFTs here. But it's a really cool game and it's addicting  the matches take anywhere from five to 15 minutes, which is a nice in terms of time, you can do a at night or after work it's not going to take you hours, right? You can do one game at a time or you can play a couple back to back. And try to, I love a, her stone and imagine. Played magic a lot in highest school. And then as an adult, a little bit dabbled back in, but it wasn't as fun to have as many people, but I love her son to play every now and again.


And this is a lot like that, but it has the  the blockchain in Ft, Ethereum mix into it. So I love it. Cause I nerd out about anything that has to do with solidity and blockchain technology. So I really liked this. This is one of my favorite ones too. And I haven't, I've just like you haven't played it.


I've been going through the tutorials. I haven't won anything yet, but I've been taking my time and just dabbling when I have time, I don't have much while I'm working, but it is a lot of fun and I love the aspect of love, how the gameplay works and I'm all about it for sure. Yeah. And again, it's not something you have to spend a ton of time in, it's not something where you got to read through a huge white paper.


If you do those tutorials  you, you pretty much learn it. They released some gold cards. Recently, they actually partnered with open sea where they did a drop there where you could buy some rare cards. So I feel like that's going to be something to watch too.  As they cross promote with open, see in some of these platforms, The chief storyteller recently did an interview with NFT and cider.


I haven't listened or watched that yet, but that's something maybe I want to take a look at. And see what is the plan of growth here? I have seen quite a few people playing it on Twitch or on YouTube playing live. And again, They do it leagues at a time.  Those gold cards that you can earn, they reset every so often.


And then those gold cards will never be available again. So there's going to be a scarcity there. Once the season ends, if you were able to earn a silver card or a gold card if you wait to sell it until it's no longer earn a bubble, I think you're going to see valuation go up. So here you can see some people  playing this game and Brian, again, played an earn, right?


If I'm playing a mobile game I'd love to get something in return, right? If I'm spending hours yet it's fun, but it's also more fun and more rewarding. If I have something in my wallet to show for it. All right. So that was of course sky Weaver. And I do have an article out on, Benzinga talking more about that.


 I want to turn to another one here that I don't have all the information yet. It's one I've been researching for a time. I remember when they did their mint of their first round on open seat, galaxy fight clubs. So if you don't know, galaxy fight club, a mint or a floor price right now in open seas, 0.49 a collection.


10,000, but this is cool. It's going to connect some different NFT collections. It's going to be a cross-platform player versus player fighting game where holders of different NFT collections can battle with each other to win and earn rewards. They have the G coin is their total. It's a cross IP cross platform.


It's really going to be like one of the first to do what they want to do. And they really are taking after   Nintendo that they call themselves the super smash brothers of the world. And they've already partnered with  board API club, Chris crypto punks, deadhead animals.


  And some other groups, BYO Hills. So it's really cool. And again, they sold out of those fighters. But I'm still looking at 'em and again, that floor price 0.49. It's really not that bad for  play to earn game that is up. And I saw some of their big investors.  They've got some decent names involved and  there's just a lot to like about this game as it comes.


Brian, what do you think of galaxy fight club? The Nintendo of NFT played earn games here. I don't know too much about it. I'm actually trying to look look through it right now. It looks really, it looks a lot of fun. Like I, I think I mentioned just earlier. The gaming aspect of a crypto blockchain empties is not something I really dove into till recently.


And this is definitely one of the games that I can see myself spending a lot of time on. I hope to see more of these games go to like mobile apps. There are a couple of. That I do. There's one, I play called up land, but it's not really a game. You play, you just buy properties and you hold them and pretty much stake.


One form of the other that it's on mobile, but if I can get more of these on mobile, I definitely play them a whole lot more. And this one looks a lot of fun and I liked the aspect. I liked the, this I don't know if it's turn-based or not, but I do think this one looks like fun and I can enjoy.


Yeah, I was thinking it was turn-based, but based on the trailer, it almost looks like it. It's not here. And Brian, it does say on their website download our game for iOS or Android. So it is going to be mobile three V3 team tournaments and 10% battle. Roy ALS also coming where you can earn more gene points and also.


 Theory.  So if you play this game and you get good enough you can actually participate in some tournaments. So that's pretty cool. I like the fact that they've already partnered with some of these different cyber Kongs and wicked craniums also our partner. They don't have a date.


That's the only drawback, is they're still really working on getting this out. They'll have alpha test and beta testing. Later this year, you can sign up on their website to try to get early access.  This is just exciting, right? Another game that combines all the elements of  play to earn along with mobile games and the freemium model.


And I really liked the fact that yeah, you're going to be able to play it, have fun and also possibly earn along the way.  For anyone watching or listening, that's galaxy fights. Again, a project that minted a while ago, it lost steam and I haven't heard a ton of news about it, but it's one, that's definitely been on my radar since they meant it out in August.


 So again a while in terms of NFTs, right? An August, 2021 mint but 0.49 floor price. I think we're early here. I'm not financial advice before this game launches.  Yeah, galaxy bike club. Check it out if you have not. Brian, last on my list here we have CRA Bata. So Kobata you heard me say in the top 10, right?


This is based on the avalanche blockchain. And it's another one that maybe we're early to, right? Because the game hasn't launched they had their motto is mine, Lou breed and battle. And if we pull up down at the bottom of their website, I believe is the roadmap and it's got a time table. I believe of specific things.


Yeah. There is there road. If we can zoom in. So fourth quarter 2021 is done we're in the first quarter 2022. So there's a lot to like about this project, Brian, because they've got a ton of events happening this year as they build out that game. And as I said, the fact that this has been on the top 10 for two straight weeks, I think is showing strength in this project.


So again, avalanche was. On my radar, but it is definitely now I'm with this Kubota game. What are you saying? A hundred percent. Yeah. Avalanche is booming there. Them and salon are taken on Ethereum by storm, by force. Sooner or later, I think that they're going to definitely match what a theme is doing.


And like they're already steps ahead because they're fully proof of stake as opposed to a theory. The E 2.0 or whatever the new Eve name is. It's still in launching mode, which is going to take awhile. I think we're going to see a lot more of these happening and I'm all for it and all excited about it.


It's awesome. Not complaining Chris, not complaining one. Definitely. I pulled up the Kubota marketplace just to take a look, Brian, cause I was thinking Hey maybe  I can start buying up some of these NFTs and according to this, it's sorted lowest to highest price. The lowest that I see is $1,605.


 For one of these crab looking NFTs. Brian, that's a decent price. It looks like a, this thing. People are interested in it. And again, I want to do some more research on it. If anyone out there plays Kubota, please let us know in the chat or hit me up on Twitter. I do want to learn more about this game.


Maybe we'll work on getting that team to come on for an interview as well. Again, Brian, as we try to diversify. Not just a theory. I'm right. I want exposure. I've got flow. I've got Solana. And now avalanche on radar here as well. All right. That is going to do it for our five play to earn an FTS to watch we hope that everyone enjoyed this segment.


We're going to be trying to do more top five and top 10 list. And we can also clip that out. We can do an article. We can do a shorter video. I think it provides good education. So if you're watching us, let us know in the. Did you enjoy doing this top five list to get Brian and I's thoughts on some projects to watch and speaking of projects to watch.


We talked about the upcoming mint schedule last week. And I do just want to bring up some of these projects again, because we have a big week ahead. So we already had the mutant bats of that happen. If you owned a crypto bat, you could fight one of the partnered NFT projects. And now there is a mutant bats collection on open.


See, I believe the floor was underway. We also have a big event tonight, Brian, I don't know if you saw this. We're getting a mega mutant reveal for a board ape and mute and eight yacht club. Someone is finally using one of those mega serums. There'll be doing a live video starting at 6:00 PM Eastern time.


We also got the launch yesterday. Of sneaky by vampiress syndicate for 0.16 east. That is from sneaky vampire, syndicate the floor right now, Brian 0.2. Or 0.209. So not that much higher than the mint price. So I'm definitely watching this one. This is a way to get into that sneaky vampire society through the vampires is here and they have not revealed Ryan.


 So there is the potential that you buy one at the floor and it ends up being rare. I did love the artwork here on the vampiress. So another one to watch and then turning to this. We have star catchers minting today at 0.1, one, one, Ethereum, a collection of 10,000. It is one of the most hyped projects out there.


 So there is going to be a gas war likely. So I will be waiting to see where these land at AF ger the mint. And then we also have the doggies from. D O double G of the sandbox avatars. The presale is today at 10:00 PM, UTC, the public sale tomorrow, and the reveal is happening on Thursday.


Fingers crossed that you get a rare dog or alien and those costs 150 sand plus a theory them for gas. So sand price right now. Is 3 0 9. So these are around $450 for these avatars. Brian, do you think these us Snoop dog avatars the doggies, you think those sell out super fast between today and tomorrow?


No. A hundred percent. Yes. No flat. Yeah. And you'll be able to play them in the avatar. They're going to be, you're going to be able to be in a music video, right? Not you personally, you technically are. That's your property, so that's. Definitely. And then also today we have dented fields which is 2:22 PM today.


So it actually happened during the show, their pre sale. There is a total of 11,111. and then tomorrow invisible friends minting a 5,009 at 0.25 east Brian, an insane project, right? Invisible friends. I think we see that. Absolutely. Just take off tomorrow. It's one of those floors that I could see hitting a couple of ease right away.


And then we have weather report. Which is the project from the former artist. That's doing dented fields. They are launching on the 24th and then wonder pals launching on the 26th, which is Saturday 10,000 at a 0.08 east mint price. And then also one to throw on the radar because our show is of course called the roadmap.


We like when project. Hey roadmap, but sometimes they also release a new updated roadmap. So we have a collection out there called alien friends. Which minted, I don't even remember how long ago, but they will be releasing their roadmap 2.02 months ago. December was their mint. It looks like they will be released.


Alien friends roadmap 2.0 on March 3rd, Brian, which is next week, Thursday. So as always not financial advice, but when these projects tend to list a new roadmap, you tend to see some volume pour in, either good or bad. Yes, a hundred percent. I think this will definitely pump that up a little bit.


And on the backside, of course, Brian, it'll probably get pumped up going into the roadmap. And if people do not like that roadmap, what happens on the backend? The project could fall because people likely will want to get a ton of new stuff, they want to be rewarded. And we'll see if alien friends what their plans are for the future.


But this is one of those that. Was minted in December. It was in that PFP phase. I did see some people use these on Twitter as their PFP, but the project has lost some momentum and maybe roadmap 2.0, helps bring that back in. I haven't taken a look at the sales value of this project recently.


It looks like it's been pretty flat to start 2022, it did have a good little pump at the start of January. But yeah, we will see what happens with that roadmap or release next week. That's what's on our radar. As always guys, if there's anything you're watching, let us know in the chat. I think we did have one that someone pointed out when we were talking about play to earn games.


 If we can find that comment, nifty league DJ Jens is a great working NFT gaming multi-player with live play to earn. I don't think I know nifty league. I think I looked at, I did see something about this on Twitter today and looked into it. It's pretty interesting. I don't know a lot of information, so I'm not going to dive into it, but it's weird that someone mentioned this.


Cause I, I realized I recognize the NiFi, the  And I thought that was pretty cool. So they read your mind. I pulled up open sea and I see a floor price of 0.57. Get ready to brawl. Nifty league is one of the first NFT gaming platforms set to change the way NFTs and games are experienced.


That is something we've been talking about, right? Oh, these are their pixel art style. There they are. Yeah, this looks pretty cool. Another one to put on the radar for a play to earn games. And I do like when they have a floor price under one    once we hit one, if it's not a project that I'm fully invested in or fully committed to, I tend to stay away.


 Just because of the opportunity costs out. But a 0.5 range is definitely interesting. And yeah, this roadmap here so shout out to the chat for letting us know about this one. Definitely. On radar now, a hundred percent. All right. Time flies, it looks like that is going to do it here for our Tuesday episodes.


As always let us know in the chat, if you enjoyed today's episode. And again, if you'd like that top five segment for play, to earn games that you should watch. And then also the calendar, which is so important to talk about upcoming minutes. At the end of the episode, we will be back tomorrow. 2:00 PM Eastern time.


And as always  stay tuned, we got pre-market prep at the close coming up where Joel and Spencer will break down all the top stories and trends for stocks and crypto. I know that there's so much going on in the world right now. We did have a speech from Joe Biden and we of course have all the world news out there.


A question here from Russell. What was the first one you mentioned? Was it star catchers was the first one that I mentioned for a today for upcoming mints. I hope that is the answer to your question. Russell's star catchers, February 22nd. All right, Brian, anything else? And to leave us off on today.


Nope. Can't wait for tomorrow. See Wells in the store. All right. And as always, Brian and I will be doing some research into some of these plater earned projects. You never know when we might be playing them live on screen. And when you know, my horse stable decides to kick off in high gear here.  Take care, everyone stay tuned and we will catch you tomorrow.
