Louis The Game

Louis Vuitton’s NFT/Game colab with Beeple bringing you to the start as you travel through a reimagined world controlling the ever famous mascot “Vivienne” Jordon Neal Aug 10·3 min read

On August 4th, in celebration of Louis Vuitton’s bicentennial birthday, a mobile game titled “Louis The Game” hit the virtual shelfs and has had positive feedback from the public with the game averaging 4.1 stars on the apple store since its release. Developed by “Riot Games” (the makers of League of Legends) explore six luminous locations from Tokyo to London filled with two hundred collectable candles detailing the life of Louis Vuitton; a young 13-year-old pioneer that leaves home on a two-year journey to find himself on the streets of Paris in 1837 taking up an apprenticeship with a well-known trunk maker ‘Romain Maréchal”. Not to mention your chance at one of three Louis Vuitton moments in the form of a rare NFT with the first moment awarded in less than 5 days so you better hurry if you want a chance to be the first of the lucky winners.

Smart Play?

As far as marketing stimuli I would say coming out with a game intermixed with NFT’s to grab the attention of the younger demographic is a solid play, especially when you throw in the divine combination of words like ‘video and game’ or ‘free’ with names of known NFT artists such as Beeple; which still holds with record as the most expensive NFT ever auctioned at 69.3 million. After the winner is chosen the NFT’s will be stored in a digital wallet inaccessible till 2022.

The Game

The game was an interesting concept, running around with my fat thumbs, pressed against the screen trying to creep across a ledge to a floating candle only to find myself back on the ground yelling at “Vivienne” to have better control of her flower body brought back memories of my mobile game days. Opening my stylish pack and reading a postcard to reveal another mystery about Louis Vuitton’s life I did not know was surprisingly fascinating, considering my views of the brand were mostly “Overpriced handbags for people trying to look rich.” I found myself captivated by his innovation in his works. From the creation of the “unpickable lock” with his son Georges, to his death and the creation of the infamous monogram canvas signed with his initials. As I still do not see myself owning an authentic LV, I do have a deeper respect for a man that looked at the world in front of him and thrived with what he knew. With growing popularity in the game and updates with bug fixes and improvements the eyes on these rare NFT’s will multiply and the future for LV looks promising has they adapt to the shift in digital assets. For those who play the game I hope you enjoy the work put into a celebration of a true pioneers 200th birthday, for those who enter to win I wish you Good Luck and Happy hustle.

We wish to extend our gratitude to the committed and passionate community members who have made this release possible. Our strenuous efforts have been worthwhile because of your vigorous support. Now that the time-consuming process of minting has finally reached its conclusion, we are excited to officially announce the date and time for RealFevr’s first NFT edition packs sale.

First Edition Drop Details: Date: August 12th

Time: 2 PM UTC

Number of Packs: 56,401 Basic; 15,002 Rare and 4,998 Super Rare

Price in FEVR: $10 Basic; $40 Rare and $70 Super Rare Players that will be displayed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fsBKm6-qhzUAov0CF0cqmP31bMAsyqhTNnuZADmdKQE/edit#gid=0

All packs can only be purchased with $FEVR and for that reason we recommend holding a minimum of 0.15 BNB in your wallet during the transaction process in order to cover the cost of gas fees.

We simply cannot understate the significance of our first drop. Whether the collectible is a baseball card or an antique automobile, history has shown that it is invariably the earliest editions which obtain the greatest value due to their relative scarcity. Since our NFT video moments have IP exclusivity, they will never be repeated in any NFT marketplace, including our own. We believe that our Unique, first edition #1 of #1 release of Bruno Fernandes’ sublime goal, as well as the 50 copies of Cristiano Ronaldo’s second career goal and first official header will hold a vaunted place among rare NFT collectibles.

Delivering Simple Yet Sophisticated NFT Experiences
By: Sweet Nfts
Tags: Nft Marketplace, Blockchain, Nft, Nft Trading, Digital Collectibles

18 months ago, we had a vision for an NFT platform like no other. We got talking about how to harness the power of gamification- gamifying NFTs to really unlock the power of surprise & delight. And then we started architecting an NFT platform that would finally help brands unlock all the pent-up power of their brand and their IP to unleash collectability in a way we’ve only dreamed of or caught glimpses of in the past. And to date, we can say that what we’ve achieved is noteworthy- the Sweet platform is turning heads and winning clients with each passing day.

Our strategy of simplicity and sophistication has proven effective… this idea that every brand that leverages our NFT platform and every consumer who collects, buys, or receives an NFT through Sweet finds the whole process EASY has resulted in some exciting partnerships. Whether it’s the Dave & Buster’s rollout happening over the course of this Summer, the successful New York Knicks launch on July 27th, or the recent announcement that Animoca Brands is kicking off our Series A2 funding round, there is an appetite in the market for a full-scale solution that can truly deliver that iPhone moment.

And we are delivering that moment: We are helping brands deliver NFT experiences and their customers are acquiring NFTs with their preferred check out method, they’re setting up a blockchain wallet with just a mobile number and a password, and they’re holding ERC721 tokens in all different form factors with all the required blockchain transactions happening in the background and hidden from sight… it’s quite contrarian in the NFT space — a focus on the user experience.

One of our favorite examples of this simple, yet sophisticated experience is GIFTING, that’s right- NFTs can be gifted just as easily as they can be collected, purchased, or traded on the Sweet platform. It’s actually a brilliant utility that is easy to use and powerful in terms of getting more consumers in the NFT game. In a very real sense, Sweet has created a way for digital collectibles to mimic the physical collectibles we have always known, loved, and, more importantly- loved to give. Whether you’re buying someone their favorite character in Funko form, getting a special someone that sought after jersey, or hunting down that special edition vinyl for the friend who is just obsessed, everyone knows the joys of purchasing the gift that surprises and delights, and now that same feeling can be had when gifting a digital collectible. Our physical economy relies on those times in the year when gift-giving is celebrated, and we believe giving users that same opportunity with digital assets will help NFTs reach beyond the early adopters and crypto enthusiasts to attract everyday people.
Discover Use Cases: Making the Case for NFT Usability Beyond Speculation
By: Cyberpong - Dare To Try

You’ve made it the gates… Now what?

Who would have known that a GIF of some rectangular cat shitting out rainbows could be sold as a unique digital art piece for a whopping $590,000? Or that the first tweet posted by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey was sold to a Malaysia-based businessperson for an eye-watering $2.9 million? Sure, it’s cool in some way, but at the same time, there are others who think of them as just a speculative fad aimed at making a quick buck over nothing — after all, the media doesn’t really do NFTs justice and often only discusses them when looking at outlandish deals.

NFTs have become the craze in the crypto world and have evolved from simply tokenizing unique art pieces to all manner of digital assets, including digital identities, in-game properties, and even sports cards.

Why use blockchain and NFTs altogether? Does doing so have a particular benefit? Well, it’s important to remember that transactions involving blockchain-based NFTs take place in a universally accessible ledger that tracks all transactions, meaning if you were to purchase a digital identity on Cyberpong, you would receive a token representing exclusive ownership of that identity.

Given the nature of NFT transactions, trading and holding NFTs have allowed for verifiable tokenization as a way of building trust on the ownership of an asset.

For players of games like Cyberpong, holding an NFT can also mean gaining unique access to virtual worlds without the duplication of log-in credentials — essentially a unique virtual identity within a game.

Conclusion

Yes, it’s true that the NFT market in its current form is far from perfect, and more work needs to be done before it heads towards being fully adopted as a mainstream tool.

Whether you live for NFTs and see them as the next frontier of digital ownership or simply see them as a way to make some extra cash selling hot anime babes, NFTs have taken the world by storm!

Interview with Oleg Soroko, Digital NFT Artist and Designer
Tags: Nft Marketplace, Nft, Nftartist, Nftart, Alium Swap

Oleg Soroko aka After-Form is a professional digital artist, the headliner of digital art fairs, and the creator of the Illusorr educational platform. Oleg’s work with parametric art and design has a substantial impact on many industries, including automobile, furniture, and fashion.

Last month, Oleg made an exclusive NFT release for the Alium.Art marketplace. He presented his new digital artwork called “Wizard”, which is part of his new “Procedural Family” series. We wrap up with his advice to new artists just joining the NFT community and learn about the influences behind his art.

Could you tell me a bit about yourself, your background, and how you got into NFTs?

I started in architecture, and I have a master’s degree in urban planning, but now I’m working only on my personal art projects. The art field gives me more freedom for my experiments.

NFT boom hype happened with all digital artists. No one was prepared for this.

I am sincerely glad that digital art took this path. That’s just the beginning.

What is the biggest challenge you faced when you were getting started with NFTs?

I have to revive my old Twitter. Because the whole crypto community is very active on Twitter, but as it usually happens in my life, problems become advantages when you solve them.

Who or what inspires your art?

Everything around me inspires me. I’m looking into the future, talking with the past.

What are you working on now?

90 % of my personal projects are experimenting with algorithms based on creations. I’m searching for algorithms that people found in nature and describe in formulas to create a second nature — generated digital substance.

Is there any advice you would give to artists wanting to enter the NFT world right now?

NFT is just another technology. No need to wait for a certain level to enter. Better to grow inside.

Where can people find you online to learn more?

SuThe deep bond with the British Royal Family is sure to grow massive value

SuThe deep bond with the British Royal Family is sure to grow massive value Fuio Pong Aug 10·3 min read

I believe that all friends who have been to New Zealand will remember the image of this little bee.

As a precious IP of this country, BuzzyBee has become the most important cultural icon of this country during its development in this century. For local people, BuzzyBee symbolizes the state. The toy will appear at every festival, carnival and other important occasions.

What is more, BuzzyBee also serves as the representative of foreign affairs. When any heads of states pay visit to New Zealand, they would receive toys of this series. According to the President of New Zealand, all gifts presenting to foreign guests must include BuzzyBee toys.

At that time, Prince Charles and Princess Diana paid an official visit to this country along with their little son, Prince William. It was then the ten-months old prince got his very first little bee toy, which accompanied him for 36 years. In 2019, he gave that exact toy back to little Neve, the daughter of the Prime Minister of New Zealand. That is how people pass on beauty and love through BuzzyBee.

Not only did Prince William get blessing from this brand, Prince Louis, the third son of Prince William also received a special souvenir form the Prime Minister. She present the baby one baby jumpsuits featured with that bee toy. When Prince William and Princess Kate visited New Zealand with their eldest son Prince George in 2014, the latter one also get his own royal toy. Prince George enjoyed it very much.

Similarly, residents welcomed the family of Prince Harry in 2018 just after they got off the plane. Ms. Megan was still pregnant at that time. BuzzyBee again became the ambassador to express love and bless to the unborn child. After Mrs. Megan successfully gave birth to Archie, the seventh in line to the royal family, BuzzyBee still sent gifts immediately to strengthen the ties with the Royal Family.

From 1983 to 2018, all members of the Royal Family all deeply loved this brand from New Zealand. This IP thus owns strong historical backgrounds as well as social value. At current times, BuzzyBee is going to follow the trend and join the army of digitization. It authorized Sutherland to mint NFT with their well developed technology. Unique value would be given to these products which empowered by blockchain.

With the advent of the digital age, BuzzyBee will continue to achieve broader development in finance, games, souvenirs, etc. on the basis of its original industry. I believe that the brand is going to create new historical value for itself.
Rock Paper Scissors, Polkadot Play Remake
By: André Schneider
Tags: Gaming, Blockchain, Nft, Substrate, Polkadot Network

RPS, Blockchain-based

One hidden gem that we are currently working on, is the remake of a game called RPS Online ICQ, some of the older generations may remember the following picture. In 2000, ICQ (I seek you) was the non plus ultra in online chat and with 100 million users the market leader in instant messaging.

RPS Online ICQ — A lot of fun and nostalgia

The object of the game is to find and destroy the king (standard-bearer) of the other team. The players start with their fighters on a chess-like board. The arming of the fighters is automatic.

The players see the weapons of their team, but not those of the opponent. He chooses a unit that will be his standard-bearer and also specify which one of his soldiers will set a trap. This is hidden for the opponent.

The players now have 10 seconds to make a move. Each figure can walk forward, backward, and sideways. If two fighters are directly facing each other, the player can choose to attack. If the units have the same weapons, then the player can select another weapon. The following fight is based on simple Rock Paper Scissor rules. The defeated fighter is eliminated and disappears from the board.

Rules

Paper beats rock

Rock beats Scissor

Scissor beats paper

Polkadot Play Remake

The remake of this formerly very popular and successful game will be a blockchain-based game that will use the components offered by Polkadot Play such as matchmaking and obfuscating.

We will publish the relevant source code for the game so that other games studios can use it as a template for their games and benefit from it.

Of course, we will create NFTs from individual elements of the game, these can be, for example, the characters or their equipment.

The unique Polkadot Play version of the game will feature a significantly remastered look and feel, including beautiful boards and lovingly crafted characters, animation, and equipment items.

Let us surprise you!

Music Industry Remodel?
By: Nate Jones
Tags: Crypto, Music, Law, Nft, Art

Earlier this week, I met with the Boho Bones crew and got a peek under the hood.

So, you’re really giving away all commercial rights to your songs?

Part of our roadmap includes releasing a loop library for token holders. If somebody holds a token, they can download all 150 pieces of music in the library, which they will have full commercial rights to. We encourage the community to mix, remix, and use this music as desired. We couldn’t be more excited about it, but then again we are music and art nerds.

Where are the tracks coming from?

When you have an award winning producer on your team (Andy) who is also a technologist creating badass blockchain systems it was a bit of a no brainer to get him on the beat. He writes and records each piece.

I actually stayed at his house over the past few weeks while we buttoned up some last minute moving pieces of the project. I always knew when he was working on the project because the windows would be shaking in my room. The only problem was that they would typically be shaking from 3 to 10 am.

From what I’ve heard, the tracks are sick — what kind of background does Andy have in the music biz?

Andy had been in the industry for over a decade. He’s worked as writer, producer, and general band dude for the likes of Sony & Disney. He was eventually drawn to Blockchain after some harrowing industry experiences.

What about the rest of you, what’s everybody else’s background?

We’re a team of artists and creatives with ambitious goals to shape the world. We’ve seen the big tech and the global music industry take and take from artists. We saw this project as a way to push back. That means supporting creators by providing them with platforms, grants, and anything else we can do to help them break through the industry bullsh*t.

Very interesting, so, what’s the end-goal for the project?

Great question! We don’t envision there being an end to this project per se. It’s all about the community and artist empowerment. Once we pull off the initial NFT sale we will put a hefty chunk of proceeds back into the community through the creation of artist grants, community events in the metaverse, IRL experiences, and so much more. We want the community to guide us, and want the proceeds to fuel the excitement for this space.

Okay, I’m sold, when are the dropping and how much can I expect to pay per mint?

Ehhhh. We’re leaving the drop date a mystery for now. We want to avoid whales swooping in. We consider the surprise drop a good way to keep everyone on their toes and reward our early supporters. On top of that, we’d like to do our best to make sure network gas is as low as possible before releasing. We will be announcing the drop first on our discord. Oh, also, minting cost will be .08 ETH each.

Emergent rarity in FUs
By: Fuck Yous
Tags: Smart Contracts, Nft, Nftartist, Nft Collectibles, Nftart

A future season could put rarity in the hands of FU owners

We set up the FUCK YOUs so that their traits are editable. We think of it as “mutation.” Unlike other collections that use forging or breeding to combine two or more collection items into a new item, the FUCK YOUs could be mutated directly (and on-chain!).

For example you could change the color of FUCK YOU #400 from red to green. You wouldn’t be adding a red FUCK YOU to the collection. FUCK YOU #400 would now be green with the “green” body color in its metadata. Of course, we’d also mark FUCK YOU #400 as mutated so that everyone can distinguish between random FUCK YOUs generated at mint and edited FUCK YOUs. As FUCK YOU owners mutate their FUs the original, generated FUCK YOUs could become more rare as well.

The result would be that what traits and combinations are rare becomes a feature of the community of FUCK YOU owners and how they decide to mutate their FUCK YOUs.

If everybody decides to make blue alien FUCKs, then blue alien FUCKs won’t be rare.

The State of Decentralized Applications (DApps) — H1 2021 Review
By: Kyle Ellicott
Tags: Blockchain, Nft, Dapps, Defi, Decentralization

The Turning:

After having tracked the greater blockchain industry since 2018, I’m calling this moment in time, “The Turning” — the moment when technical adoption becomes the default and decentralization is a target milestone for more than less. The timing couldn’t be more in line with the industry needs as digital assets reaching a $2T, that’s trillion with a T, dollar market cap, billions transacted in digital goods and marketplaces that once did not exist two years ago, infrastructure upgrades & applications growing in adoption.

In summary, here are some things that I have noticed aggressively happening in this first half of the year and something I’m so incredibly excited about around decentralized applications (DApps) and continue to strengthen my thesis around them:

Protocols and their foundations are partnering with traditional venture capital to built ecosystem-focused funds. Venture capital is adding “DApps” to their thesis AND launching new funds specific to/for protocols. DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) are taking an early position from investor syndicates & governance to an alternative corporate structure and a milestone for many DApps. We’re seeing the re-emergence of investing through SAFT(tokens) and token launches, however different than that of the 2017–2019 boom — traditional venture capital & other institutional investors are playing at scale. Exchanges are positioning to own NFT ecosystems (i.e. Binance, Korbit (Korea), Wazirx (India), FTX, etc) expanding to alternatives assets and traditional. Needs for security and stability with the underpinning or leveraging of Bitcoin’s blockchain network. Bridges are being built at rapid speed to allow for exchanging between blockchains not yet interoperable. Consensus mechanisms expanding beyond Proof-of-Work (PoW) & Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to the likes of Proof-of-Transfer (PoX), Agreement (PoA), etc. Cloud companies are in acquisition mode as they’ve been unable to match the pace of decentralized infrastructure developments More corporations, governments, and small businesses are adding digital assets to their balance sheets. Business models like “Play-To-Earn” will drive greater mass adoption faster and with the desire UX

Listening to the traditional art collector’s market, Spores Network brings NFT digital fine art into physical reality through a partnership with Blackdove to supply digital canvases to high-end collectors. After winning the bid at one of Spores’ exclusive drops, collectors can also order a custom digital canvas up to 98" in size to display their newly purchased artwork in the luxury settings of their own home. Digital canvases can be white-glove shipped and assembled to over 200 US cities and Asia-wide.

“We at Spores are committed to being Asia’s premier NFT marketplace at the cutting edge of art and pop culture.

The keystone of Spores Network is a decentralized art gallery where collectors can browse and purchase pieces directly from the artists themselves.
PulseChain enriches the NFT owners
Tags: Crypto, Ethereum, Pulsechain, Cryptocurrency News, Nft

Why should an NFT owner pay attention to PulseChain?

This is the world’s first insight into a potential game changer.

PulseChain as an Ethereum fork with identical NFT twin

PulseChain is the improved fork/copy of the whole Ethereum network.

The Ethereum network is home to most of the NFT. The largest NFT markets using the Ethereum network to host these NFTs.

Once PulseChain begins to exist as a fork of the Ethereum network, it will contain twins/copies of all Ethereum tokens. Which also includes all Non-Fungible Tokens — NFTs.

This means that every current owner of any artwork with an NFT hosted on the Ethereum network will also have the appropriate NFT on the PulseChain network.

It would be the same exact NFT with the same “serial number”, only on a different network.

ETA of PulseChain is September/November 2021.

The value of the NFT twin

Would the identical NFT twin on the PulseChain have the same value as the firstborn on the Ethereum?

Hard to say. However, it is very unlikely that the identical NFT twin will have zero value, right? Everything that exists has some value.

Why will PulseChain even exist?

The Ethereum network has a capacity problem, which means high transaction fees.

Some operations are so expensive that the Ethereum network is practically unusable for this type of operation.

Sometimes just transferring a token or NFT from one owner to another is so expensive that it doesn’t make sense at all.

PulseChain takes over part of the load from the busy Ethereum network and introduces very low transaction fees, higher speeds, fee-burning and energy efficiency. Its design should be even superior to Ethereum 2.0

Due to the fact that each Ethereum token will have its own twin/representation on the PulseChain network, many users and developers may prefer to use a faster/cheaper version of their projects that have already been migrated to PulseChain from the beginning.

Thus, it is possible that PulseChain NFT twins may have a higher value over time than the firstborn Ethereum NFTs... Or not, who knows?

Either way, only those NFTs will get a twin on PulseChain that will be created and owned before PulseChain starts.

There is at most a two-month window to own an NFT that one also wants to own for free in PulseChain.

Of course, the NFT owner can also destroy one of the twins and leave only one NFT ownership in the preferred network; Ethereum or PulseChain.

But won’t the owner be deprived of potential profit if the market decides that the other network ultimately has more value?

What to do now?

Well. Nothing. Each NFT you own before the PulseChain’s launch gets the twin on PulseChain. To gain access to it, you can just change the network in the MetaMask. Or wait for your favorite marketplace to support switching between Ethereum and PulseChain on their website.
