In Brief
- Launch of Pulse Market: Mythical Games introduced Pulse Market, a new trading platform using the USDC stablecoin.
- Shift from MYTH Token: Previously, Mythical Games relied on the volatile MYTH token which has dropped in value over the past year.
- Separate Wallet System: Pulse Market will feature its own wallet system, possibly signaling different infrastructure from the existing Mythical Market.
New Trading Platform Announced
Mythical Games, a prominent name in blockchain-based gaming, has unveiled a new trading platform, Pulse Market. This new marketplace will use the USDC stablecoin for all transactions, marking a departure from the MYTH token used currently. The MYTH token has experienced a notable decline in value over the past year, prompting this strategic shift.
Technical Shifts and Future Potential
Typically, operations at Mythical Games have depended on the Mythical Market, operating under the Mythos Chain within the Polkadot blockchain system. While specifics were not confirmed, Pulse Market might leverage this existing blockchain framework, especially since it supports USDC. A distinctive feature of the new platform is its separate wallet system that will not access users’ MYTH balances, hinting at a broader infrastructural change that could accommodate different blockchain technologies. This could potentially allow for the integration of NFTs from other Mythical Games projects like Blankos Block Party being transferred back to Ethereum-based ecosystems.
Strategic Testing with Blankos
Initial testing of Pulse Market will involve Blankos Block Party NFT holders. With the anticipated 2026 mobile release of Blankos Block Party, Mythical Games appears to be strategically using this window to perfect the new marketplace. Since Blankos Block Party was first launched in 2020 and paused in 2023 for redevelopment, leveraging its assets for Pulse Market testing does not disrupt a broadly active game environment, providing a controlled setting for experimentation and technological refinements.
While the precise timeline for Blankos NFT trading on Pulse Market remains undisclosed, and no definite plans have been shared about integrating other games into this platform, this development signifies a pivot towards using a stablecoin in blockchain game trading environments. This could lead to a more consistent and dependable trading experience for users.
