Latest Developments in Crypto and NFT Gaming
The realm of crypto and NFT gaming has been bustling with activity as of late, with major games launching, token airdrops taking place, and a flurry of other events unfolding. The sheer volume of information can be overwhelming, but fear not – Decrypt‘s GG has you covered. For a concise overview of the latest happenings in crypto video games, we are introducing the inaugural edition of This Week in Crypto Games.
Key Highlights
- Saga Airdrop Commences: Saga, a prominent layer-1 blockchain platform dedicated to gaming, initiated the distribution of its SAGA token last week. The airdrop encompasses over 200,000 distinct wallets, sourced from a play-to-airdrop initiative spanning various games on Saga, Solana, Avalanche, and beyond. Additionally, users are rewarded with tokens for engaging in DeFi staking activities across platforms like Cosmos and Celestia. For further information, click here.
- Notcoin Trading: The viral Telegram game Notcoin is rapidly gaining traction within the crypto gaming sphere in anticipation of its upcoming token mint on The Open Network (TON). Interest surged last week following the launch of pre-market trading. Users holding at least 10 million Notcoin balances can convert them into NFT vouchers, enabling speculative trading of the on-chain NOT token’s future value.
- PlayStation NFTs: Sony is contemplating the integration of NFTs for user-owned assets on the PlayStation platform, as indicated by details from a recently published patent application. The proposed “super-fungible token” format aims to bundle NFTs for in-game assets, allowing seamless portability across games and potential trading functionalities. While Sony’s actions regarding this concept remain uncertain, this isn’t the first instance of the company exploring gaming-related NFT patents.
- Surge in Prices: Gaming tokens have experienced a surge in value over the weekend, with Pixels (PIXEL), Beam (BEAM), and Parallel (PRIME) achieving new all-time highs. Additionally, Gala (GALA) and Immutable (IMX) reached multi-year peaks. For a comprehensive overview of the current top-performing gaming tokens, click here.
