*Note: a SWOT analysis is an evaluation of the fundamental, operational, technical, social, economic, and even to some degree administrative elements of a project. This is not a model to be used for trading purposes. (NFA, DYOR) Composed of four elements, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, a SWOT analysis framework provides excellent insight for establishing a high-level understanding of the state of a project’s well-being through the lens of a birds-eye view. It can help formulate decisions around which areas require more attention, set performance goals, and organize a foundational understanding of where a project is headed. Rarely (if ever) used in crypto, it is time to apply this timeless method of evaluation to the digital asset space. Today, Celo (CELO), the carbon-negative, mobile-first blockchain dedicated to “creating conditions of prosperity for all” through regenerative finance, will get a SWOT. 💪 Strengths (Internal) (Helpful) 1. REFI Positioning A combination of DEFI and social good, regenerative finance is a movement that taps into ecological benefits to society and/or the environment. No network has remotely as much of the intellectual mindshare around innovations happening in this space as Celo. Affiliating itself with social good from launch, Celo has become the host of today’s leading projects, including Toucan, Kolektivo, Flowcarbon, Gooddollar, Glo Dollar, Impact Market, and others. Considering how underserved and under explored REFI has been as a whole, there is no upper bound to model the potential returns this as a sector can attract during the seasonal capital shuffling. 2. On-Chain Metrics Blossoming After a painful bear market and drawn-out winter, the seasons have shifted, and the on-chain metrics have thawed. Celo has been showing strong, sustainable growth across the board. DAA (Daily Active Addresses) have been going parabolic since May 2023, rallying from 5k in December 2022 to around 200k exactly 1 year later, a clean 40x. Total addresses jumped from 1.5m to ~4m (a notable 2.67x). TVL has begun ticking up from ~$80m to ~$120m. Total amount of active, verified, smart contracts steadily rising beyond 33,000. Daily transactions have rebounded from their painful lows of around 100k per day earlier this year to around 400k now, and no signs of slowing down. 3. Focus on Stablecoin Payments Many people underestimate how still nascent and small crypto is relative to the enormous economic markets it is tackling. Remaining one of the largest financial sectors ripe for disruption, payments are tightly correlated with stablecoins, and stablecoins are tightly correlated with real commercial/retail adoption; therefore, the use case and value proposition that Celo is pursuing have universal appeal. Moreover, having a concrete vision and a clear market to innovate around does not receive enough recognition. The vast majority of alternative layer 1’s lack focus and try too hard to become the ultimate generalized solutions that can support every exotic use case under the degen sun. Celo can allocate its resources and efforts more efficiently and not waste time on things such as Memecoins. This is not to say memecoins are bad, just highlighting the nature of the project. 4. Network of Validators Home to 110 validator nodes, owned by 78 independent entities, including some of the most significant Web2 technology companies on the plant, such as Google Cloud, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, et al., as well as some of the most well-known crypto and Web3 entities such as Binance, Polychain Capital, Blockdaemon, and others; Celo has the material support from a set of validators many dream of. 5. One Block Finality A common area of concern in the context of public blockchain infrastructure, finality has become a definitive factor in the design preferences of financial institutions around the world. As it relates to retail finance, the quicker the finality, the more confidence the users have with their transactions, the more likely they are to return and use the product again. Celo has always had this at the front of mind in their operations. This “immediate” finality structure mitigates reorgs (something infinitely valuable at the enterprise level) and was possibly an important factor in Celo being able to build powerful relationships with legacy Web2 conglomerates. 6. Finite CELO Supply Inflation Launching with 60% (600m) of the total token supply circulating (depending on how it’s measured), Celo has an extremely smooth emission model to release the remaining 40% (400m) of tokens over the course of 30 years (ending in 2050). At the end of the emissions, the token supply model would, in fact, become slightly deflationary due to the transaction burns. Moreover, the emissions are primarily allocated to community building and validator/staking incentives, which means they would potentially foster economically resilient networks of aligned actors. This is, of course, in addition to the most sensitive benefit of balancing the impacts of dilution on existing/early participants. 7. Transaction Fee Payments While most major blockchains constantly deal with the friction of forcing participants to acquire native tokens in order to interact with the networks, Celo has introduced semi-agnostic network fee payments, allowing transactions to be paid for in any of the approved alternative assets. Opting for such a model seems counterintuitive as it would defeat the existential purpose of the gas token itself; however, it is not unlikely that this friendliness translates to a higher degree of adoption. By having multi-asset fee payments, the network can, in fact, help bolster asset velocity and become economically intertwined with other projects. 😞 Weaknesses (Internal) (Harmful) 1. Gingerbread Identity Crises Celo used to distinguish itself in the marketplace by playing the role of an independent, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain network focused on mobile clients and payments (aka stablecoins). Recently, however, the project has embarked on a technical restructuring (known as the “Gingerbread” hard fork) to transition into an extension of the Ethereum ecosystem by becoming an OP-stack-based Layer 2. Even though this action was enforced by the community itself through a governance proposal, such a fundamental pivot can result in organizational chaos, which, if untamed, can result in the collapse of interest. If the project built its community on a specific set of fundamental beliefs and those beliefs change, it runs the risk of alienating previous members. 2. Low Network Earning vs MCAP Validator earnings is a theme that plagues all low-fee, high-throughput layer 1 networks. Earnings are established based on how much validators accrue from transaction fees. Considering that most transactions on Celo are below <$0.001 and only a small portion of them are paid to validators, it comes as no surprise that the CELO network posted annual earnings around sub <$50,000 USD. When weighed against its floating capitalization of $324,577,949, we arrive at a ratio of 6,500:1. To be totally fair, as an individual metric to gauge a cryptocurrency’s “fair value,” this is incomplete, but can certainly be used as a component in building a more complete picture. 🧐 Opportunities (External) (Helpful) 1. Low DEFI Diversity Currently sitting at just three (3) with Mento, Curve, and Uniswap controlling over 90% of Celo’s total DEFI TVL, the decentralized financial scene on Celo is craving development. Of natively built Celo solutions, only Mento has any material relevance with its some odd 60 million collateralized stablecoins minted; otherwise, the leading DEX is non-native, lending markets are effectively non-existent, and no derivatives/perps built on it. Young projects looking to gain center stage in an ecosystem and old-timers looking to expand to new horizons would find Celo a pleasant opportunity due to its lack of competition and EVM compatibility. It is almost certain that over the course of the next 12–24 months, this balance will change; the projects that rise to capture market share will bring abundance to the Celo social sphere. 2. Gingerbread Hard Fork Activated at the End of Q3 as the initiation of Celo’s techno-economic restructuring, Gingerbread is a 2-phase process that will transform the network from an independent EVM-compatible Layer 1 to an ETH-aligned Layer 2. Introducing a multitude of changes, including the principle of “Ultragreen Money,” which will adjust the transaction mechanism to burn 80% of fees and funnel 20% towards a Carbon offset Fund. Supercharging finality guarantees with a second layer of security derived from the Ethereum epochs (so finality within Celo itself and the finality of its Data on Ethereum). Leveraging the OP-stack for its execution and EigenDA for posting its activity engenders Celo to both of those ecosystems, which could translate into powerful network effects. The existing validators will have their roles shift into sequencers, which would make Celo the first L2 to have a truly decentralized sequencer set. 3. Support from Ethereum Ecosystem By aligning itself with Ethereum, it seems more likely than not that many reputable protocols will extend operations over to Celo, especially when considering the extremely high level of compatibility that will be present. Already getting public praise from prominent members Vitalik and Joseph Lubin for their innovations, lending protocol AAVE has announced that it will be coming to Celo, bringing with it the mature infrastructure and stakeholder set already prevalent across many EVM-compatible networks. 😳 Threats (External) (Harmful) 1. DEFI Centralization With just 3 protocols controlling over 90% of the TVL on Celo, the ecosystem is at risk of over-concentrated protocols that disincentivize new competitors. Liquidity is highly reflexive; where there is liquidity, more shall flow; where there is little, it shall dry over time. Certainly, the argument can be made that centralization counteracts fragmentation and increases market efficiencies, but having a high degree of reliance on a small group of actors introduces unwanted risks for Celo itself. Without stimulating competition, new ideas will not make their way to Celo and instead be attracted to more conducive environments. 2. Weak Social Presence CELO does not have the ravaging maniacal die-hard community members or social presence common to most L1s. Even though this quaintness might seem understandable from the perspective of enterprise participants, those raw savage human emotions that drive market hype cycles through peek euphoria and keep it alive in the depths of winter are the foundation of markets. By not cultivating this kind of culture, it is only a matter of time until the projects that do capture all the creative imaginations and attract more users. Meme’s matter. Takeaway: Laying closer to the centralized side of Web3, Celo is a polished environment that emphasizes cooperation, coordination, and goodwill without degen tribalism. Carbon neutrality, prosperity, cooperation, and a smorgasbord of other ESG-conscious, purpose-driven material is woven throughout all of its branding and content. While generally tucked away from the average retail participant, Celo has received a lot of support and recognition from renowned industry insiders, including Vitalik Buterin, Sreeram Kannan, Joseph Lubin, et al., for its technical decisions, as well as operational integrations with global megacorps such as Kickstarter and Google Cloud. Conclusion: Fostering environmental well-being, supercharging capitalism with the narrative to become a tool for social good, and delicately balancing financial innovation, Celo is an intellectually stimulating project that has put considerable effort into distinguishing itself from others and defining its product market fit. In the unique position of abandoning its original architecture in hopes of reinvigorating market interest with technology, Celo has become an interesting project to watch, if not for price, then as a case study on the merits of such fundamental structural changes. One simply cannot fade the long-term potential of Celo. Thank you so much for reading, I hope this serves you well on your journey. Live long and prosper 🥂 Also published . here

Secret Network, a data-privacy-focused blockchain platform, recently a $400 million Ecosystem Fund. The fund is part of Shockwave, a newly revealed growth initiative aimed at solidifying the network as a data privacy hub and critical pillar for Web 3. announced Several top-tier investment firms such as DeFiance Capital, HashKey, Alameda Research, CoinFund, and Momentum 6 have since acquired SCRT positions and become part of the Secret Network ecosystem as crucial stakeholders. The fund is divided into the Secret Ecosystem Fund and the Accelerator Fund. The Secret Ecosystem Fund The $225M Secret Ecosystem Fund is the first part of the fund and comprises contributions from existing ecosystem partners and investors. This new initiative is designed to provide long-term support (both strategic and financial) to founders and developers building various applications on the Secret Network. This fund’s primary goal is to ensure that every startup, team, or developer building on the network has a clear path to support and self-sustainability as they bring various products to life. The fund wants to ensure that developers build confidently in the ecosystem and don’t just produce narrow pilot programs or proofs of concept. The idea is to have ground-breaking privacy-first applications championed and adopted by millions of users. Secret Network has registered great adoption across its four verticals: NFTs, DeFi, access control, and metaverse/gaming. Secret has seen historical trading volumes of over $1.3B in its DEXes (such as ), successful funding rounds for apps (such as Shade Protocol), Altermail, and Sienna Network, and thousands of active NFT creators and collectors on .

Secret Accelerator Pool The Secret Accelerator Pool is currently valued at over $175M. The Accelerator Pool is managed by SCRT Labs and funded in SCRT. The Secret ecosystem will use the Accelerator to support various growth initiatives targeting user and TVL growth. The Accelerator Pool is also a source of non-dilutive early-stage funding in a grant to teams making network-level improvements, ecosystem tooling, and building applications. The fund is intended to be a foundation for developers and creators before turning to Secret Ecosystem Fund. Grants have already been approved for dozens of initiatives such as developers frameworks like Griptape and Polar, the Secret Monero Bridge, and the . Secret NFT Reference Implementation The Secret Network Ecosystem Secret Network claims to be the first blockchain with data privacy by default. It allows builders to create and use privacy-preserving and permissionless applications, a functionality that secures applications, protects users, and unlocks tons of new use cases for Web 3. Typical smart contract blockchains, like Ethereum, are public by default. Therefore, the public can view all the data in a smart contract. Secret Network comes with data privacy for sensitive information as it supports encrypted state for smart contracts, encrypted outputs, and encrypted inputs. dApps Apps on this platform are built on Secret smart contracts that are privacy-preserving and powerful. These apps leverage the computational privacy of Trusted Execution Environments to provide products for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and communications. Tools & Wallets Block explorers, tools, and wallets empower users to interact with the Secret DeFi ecosystem and Secret Network.

https://pixabay.com/en/sky-clouds-cloudscape-sky-clouds-2827189/ Every industry, organization and business tries to act strategically, looking for ways to enhance efficiency and cut costs, to work less while getting more done, to not be left behind. Technology plays an integral role, but its adoption does not always lead to changes for the better. Nevertheless, technology driving progress (and vise versa), transforming processes and presenting new models of operation. New technologies are pushing some industries and jobs into oblivion, while breathing new life into others, creating new jobs and whole new markets. is For example, think about the brought on by the Internet. Back in its early days, many were neither optimistic nor enthusiastic about its advent. But today the technology is actively utilized by the majority of world’s population, including industries and organizations. In fact, most could not survive without it. dramatic changes There is hardly a single industry in the world that is not impacted by technology, at least to some extent. And now there is another promising — — predicted to become mainstream in nearly every industry over the next several years. technology blockchain David Drake, the chairman of and one of blockchain’s thought leaders, says: LDJ Capital Blockchain has been making noise and disrupting several industries, including the finance, energy, and real estate sectors. The traditional banking system is also being threatened by blockchain, and if they don’t embrace it they will be replaced because the efficiencies in these platforms are circumventing the high fees that the banks are charging. Aside from finance, energy and real estate, blockchain has broadened its scope of application to insurance, healthcare, law, retail and . According to , people today show 2000% more interest in blockchain than they did in 2013, and we will only see this number grow, requiring industries to be ready and able to adapt to changes. more Deloitte So what exactly is blockchain? https://pixabay.com/en/blockchain-block-chain-technology-3019121/ Generally, blockchain is a database, but not in the traditional sense. On blockchain, all data is securely locked and stored in blocks that link to each other by means of cryptography. Unlike traditional databases, blockchain is a completely decentralized technology, meaning that data is distributed and copied between every node on a peer-to-peer network. At the same time, stored data cannot be stolen or altered by any user acting in bad faith. Each new block with information — be it transactional data, events or facts — must be approved by all nodes before it appears on the chain. Blockchain creates an environment with no room for false entries, because incorrect data will be detected and will not escape the notice of other blockchain users. With its ability to validate and authenticate facts and transactions, the technology is a Holy Grail for industries that rely heavily on data accuracy and the reliable performance of intermediary organizations. How can blockchain make or break HR? HR is data-intensive, and oftentimes requires the involvement of third parties in its processes. Even though the HR industry has undergone some changes with the adoption of new technologies and solutions over the past decade, it still suffers from its own inefficiency in terms of recruitment processes and management. Gone are the days when candidates received a university degree and chose to grow and build their careers from the ground up — from clerk to department head or higher — within the walls of the same organization. Today, employees — millennials in particular — prefer to change employers . Moreover, they are always in search of self-improvement through training and education. every 2.8 years These activities add extra credentials to a candidate’s resume (compared to an older worker), introducing some major challenges to HR professionals. The HR landscape does not stand still. However, recruitment processes still rely overwhelmingly on a candidate’s CV and verification of its accuracy. Some might be surprised to learn that . So it follows that as much as 60% of the time an HR professional dedicates to resume verification is a waste, because candidates with false credentials never end up filling available positions. almost 60% of job seekers provide false information on their resumes Today, outsourcing has erased national boundaries, although not language barriers, and HRs are dealing with numbers of candidates from multiple countries. Hence, resume verification consumes an even greater portion of their time and involves greater expense. Considering the nature of the technology and its working principle, blockchain could save HR professionals headaches, time and resources. Blockchain is a database that can store any sort of data with no risk of being falsified or tampered with, and employment and criminal records are no different. With blockchain in place, a candidate’s background verification would be instant, accurate and cost-effective. On the other hand, blockchain might challenge the necessity of HRs altogether, and put the sphere at risk of disruption, if not extinction. According to some predictions, by , working as freelancers and independent contractors. Blockchain startups like and are shifting their focus to streamlining the process of short-term recruitment and instant payment in cryptocurrencies. 2020 more than 40% of the US workforce will be engaged in a gig economy Chronobank Opporty The likelihood of seeing a completely different concept of HR and recruitment in the near future is undeniably high.

Blockchain and HR: A Match Made In Heaven or a Losing Battle?

Blockchain oracles have occupied a prominent position in critical web3 dialogues recently. The role of oracles in providing up-to-date, secure and timely information to smart contracts must be emphasized. Without oracles, smart contracts would be grossly limited, and the blockchain ecosystem would be unable to unlock more considerable prospects or utilize its exceptional capabilities. There exists a consensus on the uniqueness of blockchain oracles, which begs the question, isn’t it crucial that there be a platform that addresses the capabilities of oracles while highlighting their current limitations and restrictions? No doubt, such a platform should be encouraged, and this is what makes summits like the Blockchain Oracle Summit (BOS) a critical tool for the demystification of oracles and the overall growth of the blockchain ecosystem. With that said, and in view of the upcoming , let’s dive into the exciting world of oracles and explore the significant technological innovations permeating the space. BOS ’23 scheduled for July 21-22 Oracles in CEX and ReFi The incredible thing about oracles is the innumerable use cases one can expound on. Oracles, by providing off-chain data, are of great relevance in data supply chains, insurance, prediction markets, gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi), among others. Let’s take a cursory look into the role of oracles in preserving trustworthiness and security in centralized exchanges (CEXs) through the . Proof of Reserve audit It is undeniable that the past year witnessed a massive dent in the public perception and acceptance of cryptocurrency as a globally accepted means of transaction and as a store of value owing to the bust of several notable Cryptocurrency exchanges and lending platforms such as , , and among others. A laudable solution to addressing such issues and mitigating users’ losses would be through the Proof of Reserve audit. As a concept, Proof of Reserve audit allows centralized institutions – like many crypto exchanges – to prove their trustworthiness to their customers via the . Cryptographic proof of reserves audits uncover ecosystem dependencies, unrestrained protocol hazards, and other issues. An example of an oracle working on this is ; notable exchanges with the Proof of Reserves audit system include Binance; Kraken; BitMEX; OKX. FTX Three Arrows Capital BlockFi Celsius Network aggregated Merkle tree Chainlink Another great topic to touch on is Regenerative Finance (ReFi). On the blockchain, ReFi evaluates a natural asset’s value based on its capacity for regeneration and preservation. Unlike traditional finance, asset valuations aren’t solely determined by the cash flows generated using the assets. The fundamental principles of ReFi place a premium on long-term viability, openness, justice, and community engagement. Additionally, ReFi works to advance accessible, fair, and egalitarian financial systems that support the resilience and health of people, ecosystems, and the planet. This Blockchain-based regenerative economic paradigm comprises the following: Determining the worth of natural resources Putting this value into a blockchain-based tradeable asset Generating cash flow for the assets. Several protocols are working in the ReFi industry, namely, , and among others. It is worthy of note that Etherisc presented on their use of oracles at the inaugural oracle summit in Berlin last year. Coorest Etherisc Toucan Protocol Oracles, Gamefi, and Random Number Generators (RNG) Numerous facets of life depend on randomness, from security, cryptography, or computer simulation to games of chance like lotteries. Constructing a reliable Random Number Generator (RNG) has taken a lot of work since obtaining a good randomness source is always challenging. The two categories into which RNGs are often classified are pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs) and True Random Number Generators (TRNGs). Mathematical algorithms, which are considered deterministic, are used by PRNGs. These RNGs are built around finite-state machine algorithms that generate pseudo-random determinism sequences from beginning values known as seeds in mathematical operations. Contrarily, TRNGs get their randomness from various physical events, including thermal noise, radio noise, and so on. Outside of those mentioned above, the decentralized blockchain-based applications (dApps) using smart contracts offer a provably fair consensus-based system to determine outcomes that can be openly reviewed and improved upon by all participants. Case in point, smart contracts may access random values using , and , among others. Patrick McClurg, Software Engineer at will speak on how to achieving truly random outcomes with RNG at the upcoming edition of BOS in Paris! Chainlink VRF DIA API3 Protocol Labs – Drand BOS ’23 and Zero Knowledge Proofs Back at BOS ’22, , CEO of blockchain consultancy, , delivered a presentation on how could be applied to oracles, focusing on the challenges in data verification and privacy standards. Since that presentation, there have been numerous opinions and discussions on social media platforms on the opportunities that ZK proofs can enable. Laurence Kirk Extropy Zero-Knowledge Proofs ZK experts and enthusiasts will be gathering at BOS23 for a more elaborate discussion on the subject especially in terms of how to utilise this complex cryptography in critical sectors. One such sector includes healthcare, in which is leveraging oracles, ZK proofs, dynamic NFTs and decentralized identifiers for the organization and preservation of medical data. Catch Crotalus Labs’ co-founder in Paris this July as he zooms into how the healthcare industry can benefit from such applications of blockchain technology. Crotalus Labs Alberto Melon Fernandez Other discussions at BOS23, will center on enabling a secure and safe collaboration between oracles and ZK while highlighting potential pitfalls and vulnerabilities in the technology. During this year’s summit, Laurence Kirk will return to speak on the correct implementation of ZK while overseeing a hands-on workshop on ZK oracles using the ZK blockchain, . MINA protocol The ZK workshop slots at BOS23 are limited and will be on a strictly first come, first serve basis. Note: In this article, considerable effort has been made  to highlight major innovations involving Blockchain Oracles with the objective of revealing to readers the possibilities of this amazing technology while showcasing the companies at the forefront of these creative technological advancements. These innovations from the relatively esoteric element – blockchain oracles –  are mind-blowing, yet not fully understood; hence, there is a need for platforms such as the Blockchain Oracle Summit to provide objective and comprehensive insight into the true capabilities of this technology. “Oracles are one of the most critical components in the web3 infra stack, as they are the hardest to decentralize and often become the weakest point in a web3 applications architecture. Designing the right solutions for our industry will be paramount in order to fulfil our vision of a truly censorship-resistant and unstoppable value transfer protocol. BOS23 is the place where leading players of web3 infrastructure and oracles meet to discuss how we can move the industry forward together. Joined efforts will be needed in order to realize the vision of web3!” – Hilmar Orth, Founder, Gelato Network  (a speaker at the Oracle Summit 2 years in a row) The second part of this two-part series will be an in-depth account of the latest developments in cross-chain bridges and the exceptional speakers addressing subjects related to these at the BOS ’23. Stay tuned for more! The Blockchain Oracle Summit provides an avenue for anyone interested in learning more about the prospects and possibilities of Oracles in a pleasant and refreshing environment that provides a terrific backdrop for Blockchain technology enthusiasts to connect, network, and have remarkable discourse with leading figures in the space.

WOW Summit Hong Kong Highlights China's Leadership in The Web3 Space

The emergence of blockchain games has flipped the gaming industry, putting players in charge of the decisions rather than developers. Their rise has been exponential, with over active blockchain games currently floating in the market. The industry's influence has risen to the point that it now accounts for __ __of all blockchain activity. 398 52% The new entertainment facilitates NFT creation, trading, and ownership capabilities. Blockchain games give players complete ownership of their in-game assets while also allowing them to use those assets outside the games. Axie Infinity, for example, is a blockchain game allowing players to own and trade in-game assets outside the Axie ecosystem for cryptocurrencies. Although hundreds of these games have emerged, there is a significant problem that many gamers are experiencing, i.e. good gameplay. Most blockchain games are barely playable and severely lack the quality traditional gamers expect. Crpytokitties and Axie Infinity are some examples of these. However, here are some games that can potentially be a solution to that problem: Delysium has the most popular game modes accepted by the largest group of gamers, like battle royale, MMORPG, open-world, UGC, etc., and allows players to collect loot boxes by participating in various game types, such as PVE and PVP. Compared to other games, Delysium is more inclusive with a lower barrier of entry and an open world for co-creation of game assets, game setting and ecosystem, which express a more profound spirit of web3 and able to attract more players and guilds. Delysium Delysium is backed by Galaxy Interactive, Republic Crypto and Alameda Research etc. Players may then sell their earned items on the Delysium marketplace, improve their character and equipment, or make user-generated content with them. The game's base on Polygon Network makes it fast, which is needed for its high-resolution . gameplay In addition to its play-and-earn mechanism, the game also features a bedrock of in-game NPCs powered by Deterrence, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) layer for NFT and virtual beings. Notably, these AI-driven NPCs can be purchased or rented by the player and set to work to complete tasks and earn passive income for the user character. It's not easy to develop a high-quality AAA open game on web3 and make it playable, but Delysium has done it. Only two months after the first round of funding for private sales, Delysium has already announced the launch of Pre-Alpha Test in the first week of May. The Pre-Alpha Test will last two months and invite nearly 5,000 players, which is the largest, fastest and furthest going Pre-Alpha Test in web3 AAA games ever, especially compared to Star Atlas, which is still in the trailer stage. In particular, from this Pre-Alpha Test to the following Alpha Test in July and Beta Test at the end of the year, Delysium will continuously host large-scale testing and go on live streaming with the web2 professional player teams directly, which is the first initiative of the blockchain industry. If the game is developed smoothly, it will be possible for AAA blockchain games that break the wall between web2 and web3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCUy81xMxr0 Illuvium is a truly playable metaverse AAA game project that includes a 3D setting with over 100 distinct Illuvials strewn across the virtual cosmos. A team of world-class artists designs the game. Illuvium The game was founded in 2020 and is still being developed by Kieran Warwick and seasoned game designer Aaron Warwick. Kieran Warwick and Aaron Warwick are also siblings of Kain Warwick, co-founder of the popular DeFi platform Synthetix. Moreover, the project is backed by IOSG Ventures, LD Capital, YBB Foundation, Delphi Digital, Stake Capital, Moonwhale Ventures, Lotus Capital, BlockSync, Yield Guild Games, and Bitscale. Beyond that, the game boasts a slew of notable collaborations, including ones with SandBox, 1Inch, Aave, and Bitcoin.com, to name a few. The game is set to launch with its already live. A public beta launch will follow this in the coming weeks. Illuvium's breathtaking graphics and gameplay have already attracted over 250,000 fans on social media. private beta version Blocklords is a blockchain strategy game that allows players to create heroes, build armies, and conquer a medieval land in the metaverse. The game also involves players making governments through commerce, conquest, and the collection of sales taxes. Blocklords The in-game characters are digital assets whose qualities are established by the experiences and actions of their players throughout the game. Players may play everything from a knight to a raider, a farmer to a merchant, and they can monetize their unique skills through a player-driven economy. Planet Mojo __ i__s a player vs player (PvP) cross-platform auto chess game reinvented for blockchain, allowing players to own their game characters (as NFTs) and play to earn in ongoing tournaments. Industry professionals develop the game with backgrounds at LucasArts, EA, Activision, and Happy Giant. Planet Mojo It is one of the few gaming projects with a vision to save the planet. And to align with this vision, the game has with the nonprofit to offset the environmental costs of its Moj-Seed NFTs. For every NFT purchased by players, the game will sponsor the planting of one tree in a forest loss area. partnered One Tree Planted The game has started an allow listing event for these NFTs, which is currently live. The allowlist winners will be revealed on May 5, 2022, who will be the first to receive the Moj-Seed NFTs. These tokens will offer holders early access to the game and various other valuable benefits. Final Thoughts While there are thousands of blockchain games available and in production, it's fair to say that only a handful of them provide high-quality gameplay that traditional gamers can resonate with. However, we hope this list may have introduced some gems not everyone is aware of. A combination of actual AAA gameplay designed on the Web3 and stunning graphics sets them apart from the rest. Facing the multiply doubts about Web 3 games from traditional gamers, high quality and rapid development to satisfy the player's expectation might be the only way to break the wall. Although it's challenging to produce and implement AAA games super quickly, projects such as Delysium have succeeded in doing so. Beyond the superiority of truly playable, Delysium designed accessible game entrances that fewer up-sells and reduce barriers to playing games, which could potentially be the key to bridging the gap between Web2 gamers and Web3! After all, if the traditional gaming industry can be worth without blockchain, imagine the potential it can have with blockchain and cryptocurrency? $200 billion
