2023-11-11 16:53:02 Roblox CEO Envisions In-Game NFTs as Part of Open Ecosystem 'Dream'

Roblox founder and CEO David Baszucki sees a future in which NFTs come to the popular metaverse gaming platform—and he shared how that sort of significant move could happen. In an interview with CNBC, Baszucki was asked about whether the billion-dollar platform’s synthetic Robux currency might become a currency usable outside of Roblox—and whether NFTs could exist on Roblox and then be able to move off-platform. “There’s a bit of a dream here about objects and NFTs moving from platform to platform,” Baszucki said.

Why would NFTs on Roblox matter? Roblox is a massive platform with a wide reach, especially among younger audiences. Roblox’s daily active user count is up 20% compared to November of last year, per CNBC. And in Q3 this year, Roblox saw over 70 million people spend an average of 2.5 hours on its platform, according to Roblox’s 2023 iteration of its Digital Expression, Fashion & Beauty Trends Report published Thursday. “What we do expect is the creators—whether it’s Elton John or Nike, or someone else making a digital item—that they would play a key role and have a fair amount of control in that process,” the CEO added. “We would imagine someday that those would go off-platform, as an NFT, possibly get sold off-platform, and then come back on-platform,” Baszucki said of the theoretical capes.

2023-11-10 21:06:02 The Sandbox hopes to spur LAND sales using 'Black Mirror' and 'Walking Dead' as bait

The Sandbox announced it's launching a new virtual neighborhood called "Cinerama," where users can signup for the chance to buy and then develop their digital property into an "opportunity to collaborate, share ideas, and transform film concepts into immersive, interactive entertainment.". The new digital neighborhood will feature well-known Hollywood brands like "The Walking Dead," "Black Mirror," "Peaky Blinders" and "Cheech and Chong," according to a statement.

Major production companies like Skydance — producer of "Top Gun" and "Terminator" films — and Lionsgate are also partners. "This event not only offers enthusiasts the chance to own a piece of cinematic history but also fosters an environment where creativity flourishes alongside industry giants," The Sandbox COO and co-founder Sebastien Borget said in the statement. In October, Borget told The Block that interest in his platform has shifted away from virtual land speculation and toward offering real gaming experiences. The Sandbox said there are more than 400 plots of digital land up for grabs in Cinerama. In total, the platform has sold 70% of its more than 165,000 LAND NFTs.

2023-11-09 16:10:08 UAE’s Metaverse pioneer Everdome launches SPACES

Although, according to a recent report by McKinsey, almost 60 percent of consumers using today’s early version of the metaverse are excited about transitioning everyday activities to it, and 95 percent of business leaders are expecting the metaverse to have a positive impact on their industry within five to ten years, the metaverse remains confusing for many business and consumer users, with greater barriers to entry and understanding than widely used web2 applications.

Everdome seeks to change this with their new SPACES application, which will deliver easy-to-use, customisable and engaging metaverse pop-up spaces that can be created in a matter of minutes. SPACES will allow users without deep technical knowledge to quickly produce metaverse experiences which can last for days, weeks or even a matter of hours as a metaverse pop-up space. This product release follows closely behind Everdome’s Mars Landing experience release, which represented the completion of their alpha layer-one of their immersive metaverse destination, taking users from a virtual Hatta Spaceport through to a digital imagining of a future Martian civilisation.

2023-11-06 16:39:52 Yuga Labs, Magic Eden unveil Ethereum NFT marketplace

In a statement shared on their X platform, Magic Eden expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with Yuga Labs and their joint efforts in building an ETH marketplace. They emphasized the importance of supporting creators, as they believe that without them, web3 cannot thrive. This partnership aims to prioritize the rights of creators by ensuring they receive their exact royalties from NFT sales. Together, they aim to strengthen the digital collectibles ecosystem by fostering creativity and innovation.

Via this collaboration, there will be an obligation where Magic Eden will be responsible for sharing a portion of secondary market sales proceeds from their NFT collections with Yuga Labs. Yuga Labs has recently taken a position regarding OpenSea and royalty enforcement. They have decided to reduce their support for OpenSea due to OpenSea’s announcement about discontinuing its own chain royalty enforcement tool called Operator Filter. Introduced in November 2022, the Operator Filter allowed creators to restrict sales of their NFTs to platforms that offer royalties. The intention was to filter out platforms that didn’t adhere to these principles, including ones like Blur.

2023-10-20 09:38:50 Wallet Wars’ raW Pass NFTs sells out in 5 minutes

RaW Pass, a new non-fungible token (NFT) collection linked to the upcoming Web3 game Wallet Wars, sold out within 5 minutes after its first mint on Wednesday, blockchain infrastructure developer Balthazar DAO announced. The assets act as upgradeable ships for Wallet Wars, a Space Invaders-inspired NFT game created by Animoca Brands-backed Balthazar DAO, and give users access to rewards and governance rights. RaW Pass is a collection of 5,555 NFTs which debuted with a 0.035 Ether (around US$5) mint price.

John Stefanidis, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Balthazar DAO, told Forkast that his team has produced non-inflationary NFTs to avoid a speculative economy. “In fact, its ship NFTs are only valid for one season and are deemed worthless after the season ends,” said Stefanidis. “We want to focus on gameplay, an enjoyable user experience and building on a powerful ecosystem that rewards players and raW Pass holders.” Blockchain technology can unlock a new game economic layer, including transferring and owning in-game items. However, developers in the blockchain gaming sector still face the challenge of discovering a model that retains player engagement. Balthazar DAO says 90% of the net earnings — anticipated to be around US$500,000.

2023-10-19 09:19:22 Bitcoin Metaverse Token Pre-Sale From ‘Life Beyond’ Team Raises $3.5M

The reports of the death of the metaverse have been greatly exaggerated, and venture capital continues to flow into companies developing it—or at least developing what many in Web3 hope will be the next generation of gaming experiences. On Tuesday, “Life Beyond” developer Darewise Entertainment announced that it had raised $3.5 million in token presales. “For this round, we are thrilled to welcome meaningful investors who not only believe in our project and values.

"Life Beyond" is an open-world sci-fi game where players attempt to build a new civilization powered by NFTs and a tokenized digital economy. The Darewise token is slated to launch early next year and was developed with Horizon Labs, the team behind the Ethereum-based ApeCoin (APE) token, which launched in March 2022. Launched in 2018, Darewise Entertainment aims to build its metaverse ecosystem around Bitcoin Ordinals, the NFT-like sensation that took crypto by storm earlier this year. The Ordinals protocol lets users “inscribe” images, text, and even video games on the Bitcoin blockchain and create BRC-20 tokens. Ordinal inscriptions are digital assets digitally recorded to a single satoshi, the smallest denomination of a Bitcoin.
