This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

Pudgy Penguins’ ‘masterpiece’ Pudgy Party tops 500K downloads: Web3 Gamer

The post Pudgy Penguins’ ‘masterpiece’ Pudgy Party tops 500K downloads: Web3 Gamer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pudgy Penguins clocks 500K downloads in two weeks  Pudgy Penguins’ new battle royale game, Pudgy Party, has racked up half a million downloads within the first two weeks of launching, and gamers are praising how subtle and well-integrated the Web3 elements are. “It has just the right am [amount] of Web3 and doesn’t force you to buy tokens or NFTs from the start,” gamer Spike said in an X post. “I’ve played 300+ Web3 games and it’s safe to say @PlayPudgyParty is nothing short of a masterpiece.” (Pudgy Penguins) Several blockchain and gaming firms have recently told Magazine that the key to onboarding a mass wave of gamers onto Web3 is to make blockchain itself “invisible.” This may be an element in Pudgy Party’s success with the official X account recently sharing that it has officially passed 500,000 downloads on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store since launching on Aug. 29. Co-developed by Pudgy Penguins and Mythical Games, the multiplayer mobile title brings Pudgy Penguin characters into fast-paced mini-games while incorporating optional Web3 features like item ownership and trading via the Mythical Platform marketplace. The Empirex founder Zorin said he “onboarded” his sister into Pudgy Party. “This is exactly how you onboard new users, make it fun to play,” Zorin said. Spike explained, “The core loop is insanely fun, and the progression and collecting mechanics keep you coming back.”  While the PENGU token is still down from its July all-time highs, PENGU has bounced up almost 20% over the past seven days, trading at $0.03292 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap. CEO Luca Netz told Yellow Panther to expect new maps and gameplay, partnerships with big brands and influencers and a million-dollar tournament in Q4 with PENGU rewards.

Expert Says ‘Solana Will Never Be Ethereum’: Here’s Why

TLDR: Experts say Solana cannot replace the role of Ethereum as a neutral global settlement layer despite higher transaction throughput. Ethereum secures most of the app capital and holds over $160B in stablecoins, maintaining its network dominance. Analysts say Solana’s validator requirements and centralization risks limit its long-term competitiveness. Ethereum’s L2 rollup ecosystem is growing, [...] The post Expert Says ‘Solana Will Never Be Ethereum’: Here’s Why appeared first on Blockonomi.

Will tech coins usher in a new era? Opportunity capture strategies under the new valuation system

Will tech coins usher in a new era? Opportunity capture strategies under the new valuation system

In a harsh market environment where most people believe that “VC coins are dead,” “technical narratives are dead,” “Shanghai exchanges have definitely plummeted,” and “all transactions are MEME,” I think the time has come to buy dip in technology projects: 1) The overall expectation of the bearish Shanzhai season indirectly lowered the project valuation. Some excellent projects and bad projects will go through the same stages of airdrop -> stock exchange distribution -> market making and consolidation. Therefore, under the curse of a large number of bad projects reaching their peak as soon as they launch their tokens, high-quality projects will inevitably be killed by emotions. This is an opportunity for us to build positions in some high-quality projects at a low price. For example, what will happen to today's $ZKC $PROVE if it is switched to the TGE environment of $STRK? 2) There is a natural misalignment between the construction cycle of technology projects and their market launch cycle. We are currently in a quiet period of technological accumulation. ZK, TEE, AI infra, intent transactions, high-performance chains, etc., have issued a lot of tokens, but they have all become "technical debt". However, it is believed that this type of infrastructure needs to wait for the application layer to explode. When the market has another application layer explosion similar to DeFi and NFT (AI Agent?), these projects will really have a chance to come to the fore. 3) The holding experience of technology projects and MEME coins is worlds apart. In a bear market, we can choose a technology-focused project based on technical appreciation and hold it long-term to enjoy high-multiple growth. While MEME tokens have greater explosive power, they require high-intensity PVP trading and 24/7 market monitoring. The huge opportunity costs and psychological pressure are beyond the reach of most people. In a passive environment where the value fluctuations of holdings are uncontrollable, it is crucial to proactively choose a comfortable "holding experience." 4) The market is undergoing a structural clearing of narratives related to “technical debt.” Projects that are purely conceptual and capitalize on buzz without a significant market share or a say in key sectors will be completely eliminated. On the contrary, those that define technical standards, guide industry technological advancement, and have a presence in both upstream and downstream supply chains are poised for a second bloom. 5) The era of TradFi integration has opened up a new value anchor. The allocation and procurement needs of traditional Wall Street structures will provide a new value anchor for technology projects. Projects that can bring new capital into TradFi and provide upstream infrastructure for users are expected to be very promising. Furthermore, projects that adopt the PMF approach and are willing to repurchase tokens, as well as DATs that can continuously bring in incremental capital, will present even greater opportunities. While the industry's internal competition has created a high barrier to entry, it has also defined new valuation and target selection methodologies.

LimeWire Acquires Rights to Fyre Festival for Web3 Revival

LimeWire Acquires Rights to Fyre Festival for Web3 Revival

The post LimeWire Acquires Rights to Fyre Festival for Web3 Revival appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LimeWire, a former file-sharing platform turned Web3 company, acquired the rights to the infamous Fyre Festival brand and plans to relaunch it with a crypto twist. In a Tuesday announcement, LimeWire said it had purchased the Fyre Festival’s trademark, logo, domain and social media accounts. Marcus Feistl, LimeWire’s chief operating officer, told Cointelegraph that the new iteration will include offline events, with LimeWire’s LMWR token powering access to products and services. The Fyre Festival became a symbol of failed hype in 2017, when a promised luxury music event in the Bahamas collapsed into chaos, leaving attendees stranded without proper food or accommodations. Its founder, Billy McFarland, was later convicted of fraud and sentenced to prison. LimeWire confirmed that McFarland is not involved in the new project. Feistl said the initiative is led by a new and separate team. He also promised that this iteration will not be like the first Fyre Festival’s launch. “We’ll definitely not make past mistakes again,” Feistl said. “Our plans for Fyre are not limited to digital products, but also exploring real-world experiences.” Fyre Festival-related meme.
