Just like #DeFiSummer, I believe 2023 will be the #SummerOfGames.
Blockchains solve real problems
- Allow assets to be traded freely
- Allow on-chain games to exist forever
Below are the ones I am tracking. I own some of these NFTs as well
So in no particular order.. Lets go!
.@playcivitas is a civilization game
First 400 chosen airdropped to supporters
Auctioned the remaining. All Chosen did not mint out
Team still going strong
Floor holding ... almost. I saw an "Enlightened" at almost floor
Chosen also gets you monthly crystal airdrop
Today I want to talk about the most important extension you should have if you self custody
I installed @_joinfire a few months ago, and it was a nice to have
Until recently ... when it saved me from a phishing link that would have emptied my wallet
(read last tweet too)
People who follow my tweets know that I am conservative investor
I do not NFT much (don't understand them)
I do not do shitcoins (except that once I invested in some OHM fork)
The kind that hasn't suffered too many rugpulls/ scams
And then came an airdrop
So what are the best protocols on web3 right now that are not yet decentralised, and will survive bera?
Here is my list worth keeping an eye on (includes a yet-to-be-launched L2)
I love L2s, and am not a big fan of alternative L1s
@zksync is a particular favorite due to its commitment to give away a majority of ownership to the community
Much has been happening on #starknet and it is time we revisited it (also coz there are #token rumours).
Let's go!
Like @zkxprotocol a lot. I cannot comment on their product since we haven't seen it yet. However, they are doing some interesting innovations around governance. Curious to see more
It is a perp protocol and questing on crew3.xyz/c/zkxprotocol/questboard
I have written earlier about @BrahmaFi as a project I am fascinated by. Mainly because of the unique way in which they gate their vaults to sophisticated wallets
Today I will talk about how they are offering leveraged farming/staking using @GearboxProtocol
Today, to use #Gearbox, you need to borrow min 100k/75E. So, to run a safe stablecoin farm (~20% returns on Convex Curve sUSD), you need at least 18k to prevent liquidation (safe until sUSD>0.95)
For safe stEHT strategy, you need even more collateral (~30k) for min borrow
1/ The #FTX debacle means we need more crypto/web3, not less
2/ #UST/ #Luna was a shitcoin but NOT a #ponzi
3/ Hacks make crypto more resilient
Three (controversial?) opinions. Let me explain
Firstly, what is good for crypto is not necessarily good for crypto investors today
It is INCREDIBLY sad to see people lose money to nefarious characters (SBF), badly designed tokens (UST), or hacks due plain stupidity (Ronin, wintermute)
But it does move crypto forward
A number of new L1s and L2s (and one L3!) are coming up
Here is a quick list of the ones I find interesting
NOTE: Won't write much about each since everyone claims to be fast, secure and decentralized... claims that are difficult to test unless they are in production
Let's go!
.@rocifi is new credit scoring mechanism that enables you to borrow more than your collateral
You bundle a number of your wallets (particularly if they are 200+ days old) and create a score and mint it
Go to roci.fi/?utm_source=nfcsid_6847&utm_campaign=no and click "Mint NFCS" on the top right
Once you have generated your score, go to the Collateral page and deposit some WETH (atleast $10. More is better ofc)
Then go and borrow some money. Depending on your score, you will be able to borrow more than your collateral (particularly if you have an old, good wallet)
One more hidden gem @CedeLabs
They offer 2 products
cede.link to manage your portfolio across CEX and DEX
cede.store a non custodial wallet to connect to all CEX
Quite ambitious, if you ask me
6 fulltime ppl on the project
More below...
cede.link allows you to invest, transfer and track crypto across CEX and DeFi
- view assets + NFTs across 100 CEX (EVM and nonEVM)
- swap on DEX or trade on CEX, do transfers and withdrawals between CEX and DEFI and bridge across the whole ecosystem whether ...
Today we will talk about @0xdefi_finance, an AMM that runs on @shardeum, a new L1 chain we spoke about last week
Testing is on and will be rewarded by an #airdrop
In their words on their discord, "Complete Tasks => Earn XP => Reedem NFTs => Airdrop"
