An NFT game is generating more 30-day protocol revenues than DeFi heavyweights like

Where Ordinals beats everyone right now is cheap resolute onchain storage
Yet Ordinals ownership is tracked offchain - any smart contract chain NFTs are more robust here, e.g. Ethereum NFTs, Solana NFTs
The inverse is many smart contract chain NFTs use offchain storage, though

Rn Ethereum appears to use less energy annually than the US video game industry. In months, it'll use the annual energy of ~1k people, a +99% reduction.
How will the video game industry go similarly green? Well, they could onboard to Ethereum + L2s over the next 20 years 💚

Staying current with NFTs is a 24/7 job these days ✍️
My tip? Find great news aggregators, people who routinely curate notable news, and plug in.
But you'll need to follow people around Ethereum, DeFi, etc. to get the big picture. Some recommendations:

1/ ♾Metaversal:
Vault your NFTs in a cold wallet?
Signing txs, like airdrop claims, with your best NFTs in one place is risky.
It only takes one convincing scam site, one lapse of focus to sign the wrong tx and get swiped!

The newly unveiled
@ourZORA
V3 protocol is an onchain marvel.
It's robust. It's flexibile. And it introduces new infra that could have big impacts in Zora's sphere of influence and beyond.
Let's talk V3 👇

11
61
As a creator, I'm inclined to mint on the Zora L2. NFT-wise I've felt a neutral vibe toward existing L2s. But because of the brand/culture/history/vision, Zora seems a more ideal fit. For example I'd rather mint a writing NFT like a poem there than elsewhere

The

My thesis: Ethereum (L2s, DeFi, NFTs, etc.) is the socio-economic infra that will best connect metagalaxies into an open metaverse over time
🌍 Virtual world = single VR space (e.g. Fortnite)
🌠 Metagalaxy = an interconnected group of VR worlds (e.g. Cryptovoxels, Decentraland, Somnium Space, Webaverse)

3⃣ Gasless gaming
Many txs / signatures are bad UX for a game
A project innovating on this front is
@PirateNationNFT
, which built a system where players can just *play* instead of constantly fiddling with wallets
More of this please!
As a browser-based game all you need is the Metamask extension or an equivalent ERC wallet. Gameplay is on Polygon & will be free as we’ll be covering the gas costs.
You will need to bridge your Pirate from ETH to Polygon & once on Polygon you will be able to sail for adventure!
