Yuga Labs Announces ‘HV-MTL Forge’ to Begin in June
Things are once again heating within the Yuga Labs NFT ecosystem — and this time, it all has to do with HV-MTL. Launched in March 2023, the Bored Ape-adjacent NFT collection has already gained significant traction in Web3 and is about to undergo a major evolution. Billed as one of the “final” stops in the still-evolving, multi-part MDvMM.xyz saga, information about HV-MTL has slowly been unveiled over time. But now, we know that all 30,000 HV-MTL mech NFTs will soon become interactive, as Yuga has announced season one of the “HV-MTL Forge.” What to know about the HV-MTL Forge Announced via Twitter, […]
These Interactive NFT Projects Are the Wave of the Future
At this current stage of maturation in the NFT space, static JPEGs just don’t cut it anymore. While generative PFP projects or even simplistic text-based collections might’ve dominated the markets of the past, nowadays, utility and experience are the name of the game. This is precisely why interactive NFTs are slowly but surely on the rise. Unlike tokenized minigames, where users play to score points or achieve a goal, interactive NFTs offer a more effortless experience and hedge on a quick-hit type of user enjoyment rather than complex tasks and rewards. What could be better in a space that moves […]
MapleStory is Integrating NFTs: What Should Players Expect?
The Alpha: In an article published last week (March 12, 2023), global video game publisher Nexon announced that it was releasing a blockchain-based iteration of MapleStory, one of its flagship games. MapleStory was first released in 2003 in South Korea and currently has more than 180 million registered players worldwide. Thanks to this massive user base, Nexon’s move could increase the speed of blockchain gaming development and the widespread adoption of NFTs. The new release will be titled MapleStory Universe, and Nexon has chosen Polygon, an Ethereum-scaling network, to support its Web3 expansion and provide technical and business support for […]
Valhalla: The NFT Project Promising to Make Web3’s Version of Twitch
Valhalla and its team may have bitten off more than they can chew. The NFT project’s ambitious goals include creating a platform that can rival Twitch. However, despite the enormity of this task, the project has already shown promise. It had a successful mint that quickly sold out, and the project has had more than 23,000 ETH in total sales volume. If that doesn’t sound promising enough, the project was created by Stacked Studios, an LA-based startup with a stated goal of building web3 products to become one of the largest crypto companies in the world. So far, the company […]
Tokenized Minigames: The Next Big Thing in NFTs?
Many have theorized that the convergence of NFTs and gaming would bring about a unmatchably robust sector of blockchain interoperability. Yet, although a wide range of Web3 gaming endeavors exist and have achieved varying degrees of success, it seems that none so far have risen high enough to achieve the ultimate goal of NFT stewards: mainstream adoption. But is mainstream adoption really what the blockchain gaming sector should be gunning for? Sure, taking NFTs from niche to mainstream is an admirable goal that, more often than not, seems to be universally accepted throughout Web3. But who are the true beneficiaries […]
Wolf Game NFTs: A Guide to Gameplay, Wool, and More
The world of blockchain gaming can be confusing. For every smash-hit success, there’s an equally unfortunate story of the disastrous ruin or slow demise of a play-to-earn (P2E) game (see Axie Infinity’s rise and fall). But if done right, gaming in Web3 can be a potent gateway to onboarding billions to the blockchain. And, though a bonafide AAA blockchain title has yet to hit the scene, skeptics shouldn’t discount the progress and innovations being made in the crypto-native sphere. Wolf Game is just one such success story. One of the most compelling and popular entries to the blockchain gaming space, […]
No Sewer Pass? Here’s How You Can Still Play BAYC’s Dookey Dash
It’s been a week since Dookey Dash went live, and the hype surrounding Yuga Labs’ skills-based endless runner-style game has yet to die down. From leisure gamers to competitive players (and even those looking to hire out for a high score), it seems everyone wants to take a shot at the hot new Bored Ape Yacht Club game. And who can blame them? NFT sales are up more than 40 percent in January. BAYC-related assets are leading the charge, having claimed a seriously significant portion of the total ETH NFT volume for the month. But not everyone can get a run at […]
