“The Crypto Space Moves Too Fast” 😵

“I don’t have enough time to look at every project” 🥴

     With dozens of new Crypto or Blockchain projects popping up every day, it is overwhelming trying to keep up with them all. At times, it is clear within a few minutes that a project has gained/lost your interest, but properly assessing a project (especially when investments are involved) can take hours upon hours of your time. 


Here is some advice on how to better manage 

Nothing in this article is financial advise, and you should always do your own research when investing.

. It can be easy to lose track of projects that you’re involved in, so use a spreadsheet to track it. Write down what holdings you have, links to important websites, upcoming events, news and opportunities (Consider even keeping track of both when you bought in and at what price). Having all of this information readily available will keep you from jumping around different sites trying to find info that you previously knew - *saving you time from searching over and over again*. 


If you don’t remember all the projects you are involved in, consider using sites like DeBank    or Zapper, that track the holdings of your wallet.

     Another way to get organized is in Discord. Most projects nowadays have a Discord, and many people use it as their main source of information. This leads to dozens of servers, and dozens of daily notifications...

     If you still can’t find time to manage all the projects you’re involved with, I urge you to raise your standards and cut back on the number of projects you’re involved in. I know that each project can be *the next big thing*, but you need to be realistic with your time and involvement. Ask yourself on each project, “Is this an investment, or a gamble?”. And then only spend time on the projects you consider as investments. You should also consider investing in a DAO that participates in projects that you’re interested in (They will manage investments for you!). 
⁠

     Finding the time and energy to keep up with every new crypto project is tough. Make it easier by getting organized, optimizing Discord, setting reminders, and grouping up. If that doesn’t work, cut back or join a DAO that will manage investments for you. Time is crypto, so spend your time efficiently.

Cryptocurrency is complex, advanced, and extensive

 Numerous books have been written covering just small segments of this new technology. This article will give you a basic idea of what Cryptocurrency is, why people value it, and what it is used for.

Nothing in this article is financial advice, and you should always do your own research when investing.

Cryptocurrencies are alternative digital currencies.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin... the list of cryptocurrencies is virtually endless nowadays. There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies, and they come with variations/differences. However, almost all of them follow a few key components:

 Crypto currencies are powered by blockchain technology. They follow a code, and can never break that code. This makes it very secure. Blockchains have public ledgers that everyone can access. This guarantees transparency, and allows malicious actors to be tracked and pursued. (This also allows anyone to view every one of your transactions... so act in a transparent manner). Transactions are fast, irreversible, and impossible to fake or duplicate.

 is a digitally distributed, decentralized, public ledger that exists across a network.” - 

 Cryptocurrencies are deflationary. There is a maximum supply of tokens/coins - guaranteeing scarcity 

(Note that some cryptocurrencies actually have unlimited supplies)

. Supply never increases - and as tokens are misplaced, or burned, supply will decrease. No more constant printing causing inflation year over year & shrinking the value of currency.

. In other words, it is deflationary by nature.  As a result, not more than 21 million Bitcoins can ever be mined or be in circulation at any given moment. - 

 Individuals or groups using cryptocurrency can remain completely anonymous. Transactions are tracked to a wallet address - not any person. With this in mind, it is still often possible to deduce real identity by following transactions to personal credit cards or bank accounts used to purchase or withdraw currency.

“Transactions are tied to a random sequence of characters and not to the owners identity - 

 No single entity or person controls cryptocurrency. If changes need to be made, coin or token holders vote on proposed solutions to be implemented. This lack of overseeing entities leads to less fees, and less restrictions. Corruption of top leadership is non-existent.

“In a decentralized blockchain network, no one has to know or trust anyone else. Each member in the network has a copy of the exact same data in the form of a distributed ledger. If a member’s ledger is altered or corrupted in any way, it will be rejected by the majority of the members in the network. - 

 Cryptocurrencies are a new commodity, and their prices swing up and down 

. Brand new coins and tokens pop up every day and it can be hard to draw the line between investing and gambling in these spaces. With that said, please consider the possibility of losing your investments in this space.

 Cryptocurrency is a profound topic that I have only scratched the surface of in this article. Crypto is alternative digital currency that uses blockchain technology, typically has a limited supply, allows users to remain anonymous, is decentralized, and is a new and volatile asset. Crypto is a new space for everyone, from the wealthy to the impoverished, to explore, learn about, and hopefully help grow their freedom and wealth.

I briefly answer 'What is Cryptocurrency?' by highlighting some of the most important features. 

What is Cryptocurrency?

In this post we are going to share with you an innovation in blockchain gaming in regards to one of the key aspects and probably the most complex one, creating a game economy. This just might be the next step in blockchain gaming that we need and what will potentially bring us closer to mass adoption. We will be talking about Heroes of Mavia and their innovative plan for a sustainable economy. If you are interested in a more general look at the project, there will be a link to another article written by me at the bottom of this post.

Similar to economies in the real world, many people tend to favor a safe place where they can earn the most and enjoy themselves. Blockchain gaming mimics this and when players are presented with “safe and guaranteed” earnings they jump in straight away without thinking. However, we recently saw some examples showing us that it isn’t that easy to create an economy and it took people a while to realize that those economies were falling apart. Without a doubt, as it is right now, the economy is make it or break it for blockchain games. Without it, even fun and entertaining games might look bad. The question now is, will Heroes of Mavia be able to ensure earnings to their community and be the first to present a sustainable economy?

Heroes of Mavia Team are using a really advanced tool by Machinations to build and verify their economy and make it possible to share it in an understandable visual graph to the community. This provides an incredible level of transparency and builds trust in the process. In simple words, it is a token simulation or the flow of ruby through the experience of the player, that helps visualize data and make predictions based on probabilities. This process can greatly help make this project stable and reduce over minting or over burning and in theory, create a stable token. It simulates through thousands of plays then analyzes the data and adapts accordingly. The goal here is for it to be constantly evolving and eventually find that sweet spot between minting and burning. Here you can see a quick overview of how it works.

Mavia_Machinations_flow.gif

1. People that cash out as soon as they can - Their fundamental goal is to make money

2. Competitive players - They would be constantly purchasing items that will help them progress faster and become stronger. They will be creating purchase strategies to maximize their power potential and will be following the meta.

3. Collectors - They like the game as a whole and would want to collect as many heroes, land decorations, skins, and statues as possible. Not highly competitive

4. Casual players – They like the game and log in mostly to have some fun, do some quests, battles, and are not highly competitive. They spend and earn, also they cash out from time to time

5. Build enjoyers – They like to max out what they enjoy playing. Might be a big spender, semi-competitive

When it comes to battles, every day there will be battles done and there is a chance to loose or win them. According to that, ruby is either minted or burned and stolen. Depending on the result of your battle rewards go as follows:

0 stars – no Ruby for you and no loss for the defender – only wasted your time

1 star – equivalent of 1 star worth of Ruby is minted for you

– equivalent of 2 stars worth of Ruby is minted for you (2x the amount for 1 star)

3 stars – equivalent of 3 stars worth of Ruby is stolen from the enemy. 1 is burned and 2 is given to you

After your energy has depleted for the day, you will only be able to win Ruby by achieving 3 stars in battles.

With this in mind, you might think that this isn’t sustainable because not all battles will be 3 stars and therefore there might be more minting than burning. But that’s not the case. This specific example indeed has the possibility to create more minting than burning but there are many more systems that will occur so battles might be a way to flatten the curve. Some systems are developed with the idea to burn more than they mint and some the opposite. It’s only a matter of finding that sweet spot that will balance them. It might not work perfectly at the beginning but with constant adjustments, it just might work.

Keep in mind not all of your Ruby can be stolen. Only the one in your war chest, just how gold was in Clash of Clans. Your war chest holds Ruby won from battles. You will need to protect your war chest for 3 whole days before you can transfer it to your bank vault. Accept your bank vault as a bunker below your fort that cannot be looted by other players. Your other option is to directly spend your ruby after you win it if you are not sure that you can protect it for that long or if you badly want to do an upgrade, level up your headquarters, or maybe purchase a cool skin.

This brings us to the store. In traditional games, the store content has to be very well thought out because in some cases it can give the impression that the game is turning into a pay to win. Even expensive skins sometimes are not that well accepted in some communities. In Heroes of Mavia, shop purchases or any kind of spending, be it purchasing skins or anything else, is being burned and not going in a company or in the team’s pockets. So, in comparison to other games, if you see someone purchasing a lot of skins you should know that this benefits you, the economy and the whole community. 100% of the ruby spent in-game is being burned immediately. This will make the value of Ruby go higher every time someone spends it.

In blockchain games, it’s not only the game that has to be balanced. It’s the economy and the market that must be balanced as well for the game to be successful and survive throughout the years. This creates the bigger picture and allows game developers to zoom out a bit and expand to not only creating a game.

As the industry progresses, expect gameplay and economies to level up with it too. It’s only the beginning so don’t sleep on it while the entry barrier is still low.

Heroes of Mavia' plan for a sustainable economy

I joined Sunflower Farmers (now Sunflower Land) in early October, 2021 when I stumbled upon their website. The game was live and it only costed .1 MATIC to join the fun. At the time, most games I was looking at playing or investing in were either a long ways from being released, or required way too big of an initial investment. The Sunflower-verse was quiet back then, less than 200 simple farmers planting their crops and patiently awaiting new updates. There were no rare NFTs, mining/gathering, or even a liquidity pool for $SFF (now $SFL). Players were hardly even speculating on the eventual price of the token. We were playing a game just for the shear fun of it and that was fine. Even the developers were players, experiencing the game the same way we were. They started Sunflower Farmers with a donation to charity and a level 1 farm, like the rest of us.

Screen Shot 2022-03-28 at 9.11.56 PM.png

By the next month, gathering was opened and the team started to release rare NFTs. They encouraged the community to contribute and create their own in-game assets as well. The first NFTs were the Scarecrow, Sunflower Statue, and the notorious Christmas tree (which notified Santa to drop presents off at each holder’s farm on xmas day). The Christmas trees sold out in days and players started to speculate what the airdrop would be. By this time, the community had grown a bit, totaling about 400 wallets playing the game.

liquidity.png

The excitement was rising in early December as a large group of new players streamed in from another discord server. The Cryptomonkeys had arrived, and with them came questions about where they could buy $SFF. Up until now, there was no liquidity pool and it was rarely talked about by the folks who had already been playing for a while. A few of the Cryptomonkeys immediately set up a pool on Quickswap and the price was hilariously volatile. There was such low liquidity that when buying about $20 of $SFF at $0.10, it spiked up 50%. By now, the player count was reaching into the thousands and newcomers wanted to buy $SFF.

sffv1.png

Christmas came and Santa dropped off a bunch of gold and eggs to each xmas tree holder. Along with the airdrop came an update that opened gold mining and more NFTs, one of which being the most coveted NFT in the game, the Golden Egg. What does it do? We didn’t know yet, but most of the players who had a Christmas tree found themselves in a great position to snatch up one of the most expensive NFTs this game has seen yet.

Screen Shot 2022-03-28 at 9.47.15 PM.png

Sunflower Farmers was snowballing. By December 29th, the game exceeded its rate limits on Alchemy, a sign that they needed to think about scalability. Meanwhile, the price of SFF was reaching an all-time high of $6, the total supply surpassed halvings in days, the member count was up in the tens of thousands and the game was quickly rising to eventually become #1 in rankings on DappRadar.

dappradar1.jpeg

However, there was a problem. The intended openness of the game allowed anyone to make as many farms as they wanted, and once the botters got wind of this, they made thousands of farms and wrote scripts to play for them. The total addresses on Polygon went up by 60%. This is where the entire Polygon community started to hear about the tiny little farming simulation game. These bots were making so many transactions that they hiked the gas price from ~30-50 gwei all the way up to over 2000 and completely bogged down the entire network. This was essentially an unintended distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack. People were outraged. FUD was all over the discord server, the token was dumping and no one wanted to pay exorbitant gas fees to play. I remember my feeling of hope die away as I started to understand that there was no simple way for the team to fix the bot issue. What could be done? They were talking with the Polygon team, but it seemed like it wasn’t getting anywhere. The community was shaken.

Screen Shot 2022-03-28 at 9.52.06 PM.png

By this time, part of my morning routine was to check my farm, gas prices, and harvest the cauliflowers that I planted the night before. Somewhere around January 7 of this year, I woke up to pandemonium in the discord server. Gold prices tanked from around 20SFL/SLG (gold) down to 3SFL/SLG. I had been gathering as much gold as I could in speculation that it would become a very important currency in the future, so one can imagine my despair when seeing the price bottomed out. I quickly turned to the discord server to see what was going on and it turned out that someone found an exploit to create an infinite amount of iron pickaxes, the ones used to mine gold. A complete disaster for the economy. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. There was no way out of this one for the team besides a full shutdown and rebuild of the game. My farm went untended for the next 6 weeks. Victoria the cat and the farm dog would be all alone.

Screen Shot 2022-01-07 at 12.59.20 PM.png

One small hint remained: The golden egg started hatching!

What seemed like a curse at the time may have proven to be a blessing in disguise as the response from contributors and the community was astounding. Artists and developers jumped in to help the small team rebuild what was once a great game into an even better one while the community patiently waited, active as ever in discord. This gave the team both time and resources to fix the issues regarding the bots that destroyed the game. But how long would it take? Would our NFTs be stuck in a broken game forever?

sfllaunch.png

No, it was only about 6 weeks later that they were ready for a closed beta test of the new Sunflower Land, and 6 weeks after that, an open beta with 100k players. The game completely rebuilt with past mistakes as lessons learnt. The promises made by the team upon shutdown were not only met, but far surpassed and the game looks better than ever. From creating a whole new backend which allows users to play for longer periods of time without needing to pay gas, to adding tons more features, these folks have proven themselves to be a powerhouse team with an amazing community to back them up. I have never seen this amount of support and dedication towards a project from both the team and community and am crazy excited to see where it goes. See you in the fields!

Heroes of Mavia - Upcoming P2E/Blockchain Game

 (HOM) is an upcoming Play to Earn blockchain game in which players will raise armies, build bases, defend and attack other players, and earn crypto rewards. Players can earn in game resources as well as blockchain rewards. HOM incorporates 

 types of NFTs and crypto tokens for players to use and earn.

“The game is set on the visually appealing island of Mavia; a location believed to have emerged from an underwater eruption and readied for the ultimate player experience.. - 

. The island is a fantasy land that homes many land plots pictured below.

mavia map.png

“Build your base, grow your army and earn RUBY by conquering enemy bases throughout Mavia.”

If you have played games like Clash of Clans, HOM’s gameplay should be familiar to you. Players will raise armies and build up defenses in their base. Then these armies will attack enemy player bases and your goal is to destroy the Base HQ and steal as many resources as you can. Make sure to build awesome defensive buildings at your own base to defend your HQ and precious resources too. The gameplay will involve a lot of strategy, choosing where to build certain defenses will have massive impacts on the way your base fights with an enemy army. There will also be strategy involved when attacking, picking which troops to bring, when and where to place them along with what 

mavia fight.png

HOM will be available on both PCs and mobile.

When you successfully attack a players base, you earn RUBY Tokens. When you successfully defend your base from an attack, you earn RUBY Tokens (This is a form of passive income if your base can consistently defend). Finally, when you clear obstacles around your base, you earn RUBY Tokens. There will also be challenges and more that will reward players in RUBY tokens. More info on RUBY tokens below.

There are 3 types of NFTs in HOM, and 2 crypto tokens.

 are at the core of the HOM, and owning a base is required to play. Players can own/control multiple bases. There are a few Base rarities: Common, Rare & Legendary - the main difference being how many RUBY’s players can earn. You can earn passive when offline if your base successfully defends an enemy player’s attack.

 assist the player in both attacking opponent bases, as well as protecting the home base in defensive battles. Important to note that you can only equip 4 heroes to 1 base at a time.

 can be placed on a base to give a boost to base stats, production rates and more. Each statue can only boost one specific variable of a base. It’s important to note that you can only equip 4 statues to 1 base at a time.

 are available for each NFT. The HQ of the bases, the heroes, and the statues can all be upgraded and leveled up using RUBY tokens. As you upgrade all of these NFTs, stats increase and they become more valuable for you to play with, or for you to sell.

RUBY Tokens are earned in game through successful attacks, successful defenses, and from clearing obstacles at your base. RUBY can be used to upgrade your NFTs.

MAVIA Tokens are the HOM governance token. MAVIA will be used in the HOM NFT Marketplace to buy and sell NFTs. There is also plans for MAVIA staking to earn rewards and NFT prizes.

Sunflower Land is a blockchain Farming game in which players grow crops, raise animals, craft tools, gather mining and logging resources, and upgrade their farm by earning NFTs. Every item in the game, including farmed crops, resources, and the main token, 

, are tokenized on the Polygon/MATIC blockchain. Sunflower Land provides a relaxing, cute, and fun Game-Fi experience for crypto gamers.

Soil.ccc4b087.png

Players start Sunflower Lands with just 5 crop plots growing sunflowers. Early on players focus on buying seeds, planting crops, harvesting those crops and then selling them for SFL tokens, which in turn allow them to buy more seeds to plant again. To unlock more crop plots, players will need to bribe the pesky goblins who are obstructing these plots with delicious goblin treats crafted by the players. Treats such as Pumpkin Soup, Sauerkraut, and Roasted Cauliflower are what these goblins love, and cooking all of these items for them will allow players to unlock 17 new crop plots, leading to a total of 22 crop plots.

After earning SFL, players can spend this SFL on more than just seeds. SFL is included in a lot of recipes, and players need to keep farming efficiently to keep up with their needs. One of the most basic things players can craft using just SFL is an axe. Axes are used to chop trees and gain Wood. This Wood + SFL can then be crafted into a Pickaxe, which is used to collect Stone. This Stone + Wood + SFL crafts a Stone Pickaxe, used to collect Iron. This Iron + Wood + SFL crafts Iron Pickaxes which is used to collect Gold. It is important to collect all of these resources, Wood, Stone, Iron, and Gold, because they are used in various NFT crafting recipes, and also are each tokenized and can be traded or sold to other players.

Another gameplay element is tending to animals on the farm. Players that have either bought wheat from other players, or unlocked wheat farming (Feed the goblin farmer a Radish pie to learn this secret method) will be able to grow wheat and feed it to their animals/livestock to produce resources. So far in the game there are Chickens, Cows, Pigs, and Sheep. They produce Eggs, Milk, Manure, and Wool respectively. The animals are still not quite in the game yet (As of 05/04/2022 the game is in Beta), but we can expect crafting recipes that will use all of these resources to be implemented.

Aside from farming, gathering, and tending to animals, there is more to do in Sunflower Land. The game has seasonal events, such as the Christmas event in which players crafted Christmas trees and received Santa’s gift. Or the Easter event where players crafted an egg basket and had to find various eggs hidden throughout the farm in order to earn the Easter Bunny NFT on their farm. Also its worth noting that the team has mentioned and shown teasers for things like fishing, fighting goblins, and building. There is a lot to already do in Sunflower Lands, and more is sure to come!

blacksmith_building (1).png

Like mentioned previously, each and every item in the game is tokenized.

Here is a list all of the current tokens:
SFL Token
Each Crop: Sunflower, Potato, Pumpkin, Carrot, Cabbage, Beetroot, Cauliflower, Parsnip, Radish, Wheat, & Kale.
Each Tool: Axe, Wood Pickaxe, Stone Pickaxe, & Iron Pickaxe (Upcoming Fishing Rod & Hammer).
Each Animal: Chicken, Cow, Pig, & Sheep
Each Resource: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Egg, Milk, Manure, & Wool.

For each of these tokens, supply is unlimited. However, it is held in check similarly to Bitcoin using supply halvenings. Basically, each resource depends on players spending SFL in some way, whether its to buy seeds for crops with SFL, or use SFL to craft tools, each token requires some use of SFL. And SFL is on a halvening schedule. At certain total supplies of SFL, such as 5,000,000, the token rewards for farming halven. So lets say today you buy a Sunflower seed for .01 SFL and sell the grown Sunflower for .02 SFL and then tomorrow supply reached 5,000,000 and a halvening event occurs. Then the next day you would buy a sunflower seed for .005 SFL and sell the grown Sunflower for .01 SFL. This will make newly minted SFL supply decrease as total SFL supply increases, which in theory may increase the value of the tokens as they become harder to create.

NFTs in the game are items like Scarecrows, Chicken Coops, or a Dog for the farm. Each NFT you own is represented on the farm visually, and most of the NFTs provide a bonus to your farm. Scarecrows speed up crop growth time, Chicken Coops increase Egg yields of Chickens, and Dogs speed up the Wool production speed of Sheep. There are dozens of NFTs, each with their own unique recipe for players to craft and earn in game, either providing boosts to the farm, or sold to other players. It is worth noting that there are some NFTs that are purely cosmetic, such as the Sunflower Statue or SFF Gravestone. The total supply of each different NFT varies, but is always limited.

Screen Shot 2022-03-18 at 1.54.11 pm.png

It is important to consider the history of Sunflower Land. Sunflower Land used to be known as 

, and this game was actually taken down and completely rebuilt from new due to botting issues along with a crafting exploit that led to the team relaunching as Sunflower Land. Fair players of Sunflower Farmers were given the chance to migrate their progress into Sunflower Land. The game is open source and is worked on by a large and growing group of developers and contributors.

The game is not free to start and play. It will cost you 0.1 MATIC to mint your farm, and a repeating 0.1 MATIC fee/tax to sync game assets with the blockchain. (In my gameplay I sync with the blockchain about every 4 days).

The game is open source and is worked on by a large and growing group of developers and contributors.

Sunflower Land is great for casual play to earn gamers. I personally play it every day. Not financial advice, but it is a very cheap entry cost to get started for the value this game provides. There’s a lot to love about this simple farming game called

Sunflower Land - Blockchain Farming Game

Undead Blocks is a new upcoming zombie Survival Blockchain Game! Players will slay waves of zombies using NFT weapons and earn cryptocurrency just by playing.

undead blocks 1.png

There are various game modes (Which I will cover individually) that include both solo and coop multiplayer zombie slaying experiences. Players must own (or rent) NFT weapons to be able to play and earn in Undead Blocks. The basic gameplay starts players out with just a Pistol and a Knife, and from slaying zombies they will earn in-game XP, which can be traded around the maps for different weapons and perks (You must own or rent the NFT weapon or perk to use it in game). These NFT weapons and perks will help players survive longer... and potentially lead to higher earnings. In-game XP is also used to refill ammo, and open doors/gates to new sections of the maps. There will be numerous maps to come, and it has been teased that there are different things to do and Easter eggs to find on each map.

The game will be downloadable for PCs, and support controllers as an option to play.

Undead blocks 2.png

Solo - Solo is pretty obvious, its the standard single player zombie survival experience. No tricks here (Besides the Zombies trying to eat you!).

Co-op - Another obvious one, its the same waves of zombies survival, but with friends! Everyone loves slaying zombies, but slaying zombies with your friends is even better!

Speedrun - Players will race through the first 5 rounds and compete for the fastest completion times.

Pistol Only - Play the game like normal... 

That is all of the game modes we’ve seen so far, but there is the potential for the team to add more!

Undead blocks 3.png

The NFTs in game are the Weapons, Perks, and Loadouts.

Weapons are things like the Pistol, AKM, Baseball Bat, & MP5. These weapon NFTs allow owners (or renters) to use those weapons in game. These weapons each vary in cost, ammo, accuracy, and damage, so you’ll have to experiment or study to see which one is right for your playstyle. Weapons also come with different skins that have varying rarity, adding yet another layer to weapon NFT value.

The 4 perks are Macho Dew, Dr. Helper, Reload Rootbeer, and Diet Sprint. Again, these Perk NFTs allow owners (or renters) to use the perk vending machines and gain the perk in game. These perks are passive buffs, and greatly improve players survivability.

Loadouts are basically packages of both weapons and/or perks. So for example the smallest Loadout we’ve seen is just the Pistol & Knife, but there is also Loadouts that come with Knife, Pistol, AKM, Shotgun & 1 random perk. The loadout NFTs vary, but allow players to use many in game items from owning just 1 NFT.

The Cryptocurrencies are UNDEAD, ZBUX, and GOLD ZBUX.

UNDEAD tokens are the governance tokens for Undead Blocks. They will be used for voting rights on decisions for the game’s development. They are also used to stake and earn more UNDEAD tokens along with special staking programs that reward NFT weapons and loadouts.

Undead Blocks is a fun play to earn Zombie Survival game (I know, I played the closed beta!). In my opinion, because of the stable coin payouts to players, the game economy should be stable, and NFT prices should reflect this stability in their prices (Not financial advice). A lot of gamers love playing zombie survival games, and this will be a great opportunity to play and earn while slaying waves

Spider Tanks is a PVP Brawler designed and developed by award-winning Netherlands-based GAMEDIA. Players choose between several Tank Bodies and Weapons and then battle it out in one of the many Spider Tanks arena maps. Spider Tanks is free to play, but also incorporates a variety of play-to-earn mechanics, centering around skill-based competition, resource collection, and a player-driven upgrade cycle.

On top of all that, Gala Games are currently running a weekly referral competition in May with an incremental prize pool. Keep in mind that in order to qualify for each week’s distribution, you 

 refer 6 players and each of them must win at least one match. The distribution each week is as followsRefer to the details below:

Spider Tanks will also concurrently run a weekly $250,000 prize pool tournament each week in $GALA. Just for this tournament specifically, the stats for all the tanks are reset to the same level, so everyone starts from the same level playing field. To qualify for the first week’s Spider Tanks tournament, players will need the highest number of played matches, victories or defeats, doesn’t really matter, just rack those games. The top 2% of battlers will get split $125,000, with the remaining $125,000 going to the top 3–10%. The winners of the Week 2 tournament will be determined by their highest personal score in a single match. Players must win the match for those points to qualify for one of four tiers each day. $50,000 in $GALA is up for grabs every day. Week 3 gets a bit more competitive and will award the top 10–15% of players with most MVP Status achieved and week 4 will award the top 10–15% of players who have the best win rate with at least 40 matches.

Gala Games May Mayhem Event

Gala Games will launch 2 new projects: Gala Music and Gala Film. Gala Music will be first.

The project is separate to the Gala Games nodes network. All the info provided here is provisional, as stated by Gala. The whole ecosystem will work with a network of Gala Music Nodes (like founder nodes) and Fan Nodes (like specific nodes for some labels), plus song NFT’s that can be purchased. So far (May-2022) there are only 3 artists with NFT’s: Snoop Dogg, October London, and Jane Handcock, but there are big names like Maroon5 and Kings of Leon on the list.

You can buy each song separately and it comes as an NFT. When you have a node and one or more NFT’s (songs), you can load the NFTs onto your node and when someone wants to use the app to listen to the song, it connects to your node (or another node that also has this song’s NFT) and streams the song from there and you get rewards for contributing to it. The service to listen music will originally free of charge, but as time goes by, if Gala feels that it is necessary for the sustainability of the project, they may charge a fee (similar to Spotify Premium)
