Web3 Gaming & NFTs 2.0

Web3 gaming & NFTs have gone wild in the past 2 months. We’ve had gaming projects like Mythical Games and TapNation migrate to Web3 and Polkadot. We’ve had artists like Snoop Dogg create their own NFT collection, and Telegram’s co-founder even said NFTs are back.

We’ve been pushing for Web3 Gaming & NFTs 2.0 on Polkadot for a while.

Our collaboration with TapNationGames proves how Web2 gamers can seamlessly transition over to Web3 and blockchain.

We’ve dived into the gaming ecosystem on Polkadot, the prominent gaming project, and how NFTs 2.0 are changing the way we think about digital collectables in digital economies.

We encourage you to grab a drink and dive into these articles to get involved:

NFT Market Surge!

NFTs have been with us since 2021. But in recent months, we’ve seen a new surge of NFTs taking the community by storm!

And of course, we’ve been here supporting local projects and promoting the latest NFT market news.

One particular narrative that we’ve followed and engaged with (you might remember this from previous highlights) is the ‘NFTs aren’t dead’. And they certainly haven’t with musical artist Snoop Dogg releasing his latest NFT collection on Telegram.

Another NFT report was released during the past month, highlighting that the NFT Market Cap has surpassed $6 billion.

And last but not least, the NFT market doesn’t ever sleep; NFT sales surged to $574 million in July, the second-highest record of the year.

If you thought NFTs were over, you should read those articles. What do you think the future holds for NFTs?

Unique x WUD Universe

Not long ago, we announced our special collaboration with Gavun Wud. Now, they’re releasing WUD Universe!

In WUD Universe, you can play games, collect collectables from different universes and projects, earn rare items, customize your cabin, and visit other players’ cabins!

A cohesive ecosystem involving the WUD token and Polkadot projects. The best part? It’s free to play.

The game will be released soon, and we can’t wait to continue our collaboration with the WUD team to bring NFTs to the masses! We encourage you to keep up to date on their social media for more info!

Polkadot Quiz Night with WUD & NFTMozaic!
