Proof of Play raises $33m - Web3 gaming is ready to explode.

At a glance 🔎 

• The company is led by the Farmville co-creator, Amitt Mahajan.

• The company says they can overcome roadblocks players encounter.

• Their first game, Pirate Nation released a closed beta in December 2022.

🕵️ Scoops take:

Even with the anti-NFT brigade (which is the majority of gamers), there is only one vision for the gaming sector with NFTs and that is joint success.

Proof of Play has the Web2 gaming heavies in their corner including Epic Games, Zynga, EA, Activision, and Google so if there is anyone to deliver it is these guys.

The potential utilities that NFTs have are endless for gaming, so let the imagination fly and get this space back on its feet.

ApeCoin Dao is launching a sister DAO to buy influential NFTs - Voting went down to the wire.

At a glance 🔎

• The proposal to launch a new DAO passed with 53.6% support.

• 750,000 APE tokens is the proposed amount to use for funding the community-governed NFT vault.

• The new DAO will operate independently from the main ApeCoin DAO but will still be governed by APE holders.

🕵️ Scoops take:

If there is a group of people who are used to only tasting success, it is those involved with Yuga Labs.

With floor prices breaking low records not witnessed in years, there is probably never a better time to unleash some hard spending and build for the future.

Remember, the millionaires build in the bear.

Entry prices have never been so luxurious, now is the time.

• The collection sits at a floor price of 0.1 ETH with 542 ETH of trading volume.

🕵️ Scoops take: 

Finally, the show has come and we just want more of it.

Having such a successful person from the industry running the show was only going to lead to this one doing well.

Holders are the real winners here, they have had a say on the show’s elements as well as behind-the-scenes content, IRL experiences and the ability to redeem rewards for official merchandise.

Just another example of NFTs not being so worthless…who’d have thought it?

It’s like the Superman of voting systems, maintaining truth, justice, and democratic integrity. This isn’t just about techy bells and whistles; it’s about guarding the essence of democracy, ensuring each vote counts and is counted.

😡 THE REKT SECTION 😡

BlockGames/OpenSea

The full story isn’t out there and plenty of rumours are circulating about who is at fault.

What is known is that the project was to mint on the 22nd of September and unfortunately didn’t go as planned.

OpenSea released a statement saying there was an issue on their end with the allowlist resulting in certain wallets being able to mint beyond the limit. As a result, the mint was postponed.

The community is also pointing fingers at BlockGames saying they didn’t set the contract out correctly.

To their credit, the mint is now going ahead on the 26th of September with refunds promised to those who lost out on gas money and had to buy on secondary.

However, when you are launching your project, making a mess of item limit caps is not a good way to get going.

🏆 WEEKLY WINNER 🏆

Beef Brothko

Another project to mint in the depths of the lowest floors this bear market has seen so far.

The floor currently sits at 0.68 ETH with 202 ETH of trading volume.

There were only 666 items in the collection, so the low supply can be a little tricky to read in comparison to Cloaks, however, the profits made are undeniable.

Item number 1 was sold for 3ETH representing a 100x
