The world of crypto and NFT gaming never sleeps! From exciting game releases to lucrative token airdrops, it’s a whirlwind of activity. Missed last week’s Bitcoin halving and Runes launch frenzy? No worries! We’ve got you covered with a concise roundup of the most important crypto gaming news.
Notcoin Token: A Slight Delay
Fans of the viral Telegram game Notcoin faced disappointment as the token launch on The Open Network (TON), initially planned around the Bitcoin halving, was delayed. The good news? It’s just a “slight delay,” according to the team, as they finalize the preparations. With over 35 million players tapping away, earning in-game coins, the anticipation for the NOT token conversion is high. The mining phase concluded on April 1st, but the game promises a revamped incentive structure post-token mint.
Gaming Tokens Experience a Dip
The crypto market’s recent turbulence has impacted gaming tokens, with some experiencing significant crashes, even hitting all-time lows. However, there’s a silver lining! Many top gaming tokens are rebounding, with Gala Games (GALA), Beam (BEAM), The Sandbox (SAND), and ApeCoin (APE) showing double-digit percentage gains over the past week.
Saga’s Generous Airdrop Campaign
Saga, the gaming-focused layer-1 blockchain, is showering its community with more airdrops! Partnering with over 100 projects across Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, Saga is offering token and NFT drops to those who stake their SAGA tokens. Notable partners include Shrapnel, The Sandbox, and Wilder World. This Dragon Ball Z-themed campaign will distribute various prizes through dedicated vaults over the coming months.
Ragnarok Online Joins the Blockchain
The beloved Ragnarok Online franchise is entering the Ethereum ecosystem through a partnership between Gravity and Ronin, a sidechain gaming network. Ragnarok: Monster World, a tower defense and monster collection game, will mark the franchise’s blockchain debut. With over 167 million downloads since 2022, Ragnarok’s move to Ronin in Q3 2024 is highly anticipated.
