WIN NFT HERO strives to bring an exceptional play-to-earn (P2E) gaming experience to users in the GameFi space with new features and rewards. 

P2E has been the latest trend in GameFi since last year. However, during recent months, GameFi appeared to have taken a dip in the polls due to most blockchain games putting too much emphasis on “earning.” Because earnings aren’t guaranteed, it began to deter players from an all-around good gaming experience.

Yet, since GameFi is still generally considered the entry into the metaverse, investor confidence in the industry hasn’t deteriorated too much  over short-term market swings. As GameFi is embracing a new stage of development, TRON‘s blockchain game WIN NFT HERO looks set to take the lead and bring a next-level P2E gaming experience.

Built on the TRON blockchain, WIN NFT HERO is a “GameFi+NFT” turn-based strategy game where users fully own their in-game NFT assets, such as heroes and equipment. Allowing players to win various in-game assets for free and trade them in the official marketplace, the game is dedicated to building a “free-to-play” TRON metaverse.

The hero NFTs consist of five elements: quality, attribute, class, skill, and bond. Although each hero has their position, both short-range tanks and long-range attackers are indispensable in winning combats. Moreover, heroes of the same class or gene form bonds, which substantially boosts the squad’s performance in combat. To perform better in combat, players must create strategic plans in advance: select different heroes, arrange their positions, choose the appropriate equipment, and build bonds.

As for the gameplay, WIN NFT HERO now offers four modes: Adventure, ALLSTAR, Dungeon, and Mission. Exciting rewards are available in each mode, allowing users to enjoy P2E fun in explorations and combats. Moreover, as the metaverse is continuously being perfected, WIN NFT HERO will introduce more game modes to meet users’ demands.

WIN NFT HERO is currently embarking on a new round of closed testing alongside testing events offering generous rewards. As the game progresses to a new milestone, more rewards for early birds will be released. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

About WIN NFT HERO

WIN NFT HERO is a “GameFi + NFT” 3D cartoon-style turn-based strategy game launching soon. WIN NFT HERO is designed to allow the exchange of various heroes and equipment on the market to acquire strong spells and skills, which players can then use to win battle rewards.

Toronto, Canada, 8th August, 2022, Chainwire

An up-and-coming GameFi infrastructure startup, VisionsDAO has been building for more than a year what could become a foundational primitive for game developers looking to implement sound crypto economic designs and plug-and-play modules that will power a new wave of sustainable on-chain Web3 games to come to market and thrive.

VisionsDAO aims to enable engaging gameplay and circular game economies through high-quality crypto-economic modules that accelerate time-to-market while reducing development costs and risks for Web3 game builders and legacy game studios who want to make the leap into blockchain-powered games. 

VisionsDAO wants to challenge the current “Play-to-Earn” gaming format. “When earning became the main design focus for players, guilds and project teams, games felt more like jobs than sources of joy, and the end result was higher acquisition costs, and lower retention rates.” – said VisionsDAO co-founder Nico Rodriguez.

One of the issues faced by many games was related to hyper-inflationary token designs that were not sustainable, requiring a growing number of new players to buy an ever-growing supply of tokens flooding the market. Due to that, token prices tanked, and failure rates at first-wave GameFi companies became a scary topic for gamers, investors and founders alike.

In order to solve that, VisionsDAO developed a stack of 5 modules that can be selectively or entirely included by game developers, ultimately adding up to creating a fully on-chain business simulation game. The Visions-SDK allows anybody to instantiate their own simulation game, by configuring the parameters of the modules to function exactly as they want them to.

Nico Rodriguez, who also leads the technical development of the project, talked about his desired impact on the entire Web3 Ecosystem: “We’re making the development of on-chain business simulation & economy games so streamlined that we also believe that not only legacy gaming studios and Web3 game builders will benefit from our stack, but also that we will enable the emergence of DAO Social Games as a new community building tool, increasing their size and engagement, while also helping DAOs and Protocols to expand their treasury via novel mechanisms such as crafting items through forging fungible and non-fungible digital assets.” 

Builders using the VisionsDAO SDK can launch games that operate on-chain, with interoperable capabilities across EVM compatible blockchains, taking advantage of circular economic features and reducing hyperinflation risks. The modules are built with the same mindset that enables rigorous DeFi protocols to succeed.

“We’re building innovative GameFi infrastructure and tooling so that devs and artists can do more together. Through our first modular stack, we aim to jumpstart the unfolding of an ever-expanding universe of interoperable ecosystems, not only within gaming but also within other thriving and nascent sectors of Web3. GameFi can be integrated into every segment, from DeFi to ReFi, accelerating the adoption of new decentralized technologies, and also new values.” Added co-founder and ecosystem development lead, Phil Lewandowski. 

VisionsDAO has raised $2.2m in their seed round from industry giants Animoca Brands, Spartan, trailblazing founders and angels like Trent McConaughy, Bruce Pon and John Lilic, in addition to receiving tremendous support from accelerators and strategic partners such as Alliance DAO and Kilonova Ventures.

The founders invite all game builders, hardcore gamers, DAO members, investors and GameFi enthusiasts to get in contact for learning more about the protocol and for future partnership opportunities through their website.

Bengaluru, India, 8th August, 2022, Chainwire

Hashstack is thrilled to announce its strategic shift to Starkware developed Starknet — the first general-purpose permissionless Decentralized ZK-Rollup, to deploy Open — Hashstack’s money-market protocol to enable secure, under-collateralised loans on the blockchain. With this, Hashstack shifts its focus from EVM chains to zk-primitives to further its mission to build the critical infrastructure necessary to 10x the usability of decentralised finance, to truly empower financial inclusion through crypto.

What are Zk-Rollups

Ethereum is the most popular blockchain development platform. 26.65% of all Dapps in existence are deployed on Ethereum. Today, 9 out of 10 dapps get deployed on Ethereum, or evm-based L1. This is primarily due to lower development barriers, & matured ecosystem of developers, and resources. On the flip side, the increased network load consistently leads to exorbitant gas fees and slower transaction times; which greatly impacts the network’s scalability. This matters because blockchain has made significant strides over the past few years with a projected CAGR of 56.3% between 2022 to 2029. This might not be possible if the predicaments of today continue to exist. 

L2 scalability protocols such as zk-Rollups operate by rolling up hundreds of off-chain transactions into a single transaction. They return a short non-interactive argument of knowledge(SNARK) to the main chain as proof of validity. This ensures that instead of hefty transaction data, only the validity proof has to be kept on the main Ethereum network, making ZK Rollups a faster and cheaper way to confirm transactions. StarkNet, is a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup operating as an L2 network over Ethereum, where any dApp can achieve unlimited scale for its computation, without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security.

About Starknet

Future-ready: In development since 2017, Starknet’s one of the few market-ready ZK-rollups with over 205Mn transactions processed, facilitating over $657Bn trading volume, to date; instilling confidence in the network’s reliability.

The community: Arguably the most collaborative ecosystem of builders we have come across. Adopting an entirely new development framework comes up with its own set of challenges. Starkware team’s success in building an open-minded, collaboration-centric community made it 10x easier for Hashstack’s team to evaluate & deploy on Starknet. Additionally, Starkware incentivised Hashstack for building & deploying on Starknet.

Cairo Lang: Powers Starknet’s virtual machine, is a Turing complete language with syntax similarity to Python. Compared to Solidity, Cairo is less restrictive & provides full low-level access to low-level primitives.

About Hashstack

Hashstack builds the critical infrastructure necessary to further the usability of decentralised finance. Hashstack’s solution to the over-collateralisation problem in DeFi lending, Open is a non-custodial, zk-native money-market protocol designed to enable secure under-collateralised loans on-chain.
