Welcome to the weekly BGD #127: NFT & Play To Earn News – April 12-18, 2021
This week Alien Worlds continue to be the number 1 gaming Dapp with more than 138,000 active weekly players. Upland sits in second place with 24,000, while the mini-game, Galaxy Blocks, follows with almost 13,000.
We launched a new giveaway with 1 Land Plot in VulcanVerse, an upcoming MMORPG with NFT ownership. You should definitely join and check it out.
Let’s not forget CGC which is coming this June. Always good stuff.
Maxim from Enjin shared a meme from Toy Story. So why tweet of the week?
Enjin used to be all about Ethereum, that was before choosing Polkadot for its efinity solution. Given the fact that in crypto, we find the same level of passion with European football fans, some find the whole “ethexit” process disturbing.
This is business and emotions don’t fit, Enjin saw the opportunity with Polkadot and they grabbed it, after all, these people contributed the maximum to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum desperately needs to fix the transaction fees issue, they say July, I say look at BSC, then again, when sharding?
Ethereum will always be Ethereum, think of it as the “mainnet”, now Enjin evolves to connect nfts from all networks.
