This has been a week with many announcements about new, upcoming products and product launches. A new NFT staking product is launching on the WAX blockchain, there’s a Bratz fashion dolls game coming next year, and visual artist Beeple sold for many million of dollars through Niftygateway. With the crypto industry riding a bullish wave, I’m very excited about 2021. Enjoy this week’s newsletter! — Robert Hoogendoorn
This month F1 Delta Time by Animoca Brands is sponsoring the Play to Earn Newsletter! Thanks to them we can keep doing what we’re doing with even more dedication. F1 Delta Time is an officially licensed Formula 1 game on the Ethereum blockchain. Players have true ownership over digital cars, drivers, car parts and even track segments. The play-to-earn model of this racing game consists of two main components; 1. Collecting scarce digital items to fill your garage 2. Using these items to compete in races. Visit their website to learn more or to participate in various events running throughout December!
🤑 Staking Digital Collectibles Coming to WAX
The development team behind the trading card game Tribal Books is working on an NFT staking mechanism on the Wax blockchain. This will start for Tribal Books and Garbage Pail Kids NFTs only, but will likely embrace more projects in the near future. This is obviously good news, because this week more digital collectibles were added to the Wax blockchain. Music artist Deadmau5 released his series of card packs, while Capcom will release upgradeable Street Fighter cards. The studio called their project R-Planet, and it should combine DeFi and NFTs with a gaming element. ▶▶▶ Read more
👧 Bratz Collectibles and Games Coming to Blockchain
I’m probably not the target audience, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Back in the early 2000s Bratz was a popular brand among young girls. A couple of movies, tv series and video games later Animoca Brands got a license to create a blockchain game and digital collectibles involving these stylized fashion girlz. Yes, with a z at the end. Thatz how the popular kidz wrote in thoze dayz. ▶▶▶ Read more
🖼 Beeple Auctions Artworks for $3.55 Million
This was an interesting week for crypto art. Deadmau5 dropped an artwork together with Sutu on SuperRare, which sold for $50.000. More interesting was the auction by Beeple on Niftygateway. He sold three timed-limited editions, one major bundle and 20 unique pieces. Each of these combined a digital artwork with ownership secured on the blockchain together with a physical piece in a nice box. In total he made more than 3.5 million dollars. ▶▶▶ Read more
💥 Game Worlds Swallow The World Through Blockchain
I wrote an article about the way gaming is changing thanks to blockchain technology. How the participants of a game become more diverse and also see the results of their in-game efforts in the real world. Blockchain technology is redefining game worlds, expanding the concept into something that’s omnipresent. Game worlds are expanding, slowly swallowing everything they can touch. ▶▶▶ Read more
🏆 Mining Game MegaCube Coming to Decentraland
What happens when you have a giant cube where players need to click until they’ve got RSI… but they will end up winning prizes. And it the very center of this cube, there’s one prize that will only be won by the one person who makes the final click. Interested? Yeah, me too. ▶▶▶ Read more
