The game features a Genesis Set of 150+ hand-drawn #Illuvitars - customizable and configurable collectibles, which can be used to compete against friends for leaderboard positions.
The first release, Wave 1, being the first available.
2022 was a tough year for market participants. Many DAOs, firms and projects did not survive the rapid decline of asset prices, and the domino effect of the subsequent insolvencies.
Merit Circle not only survived the collapse, but has come out stronger.
The #FED's tightening led to a significant drop in equities and crypto, along with rapidly increasing bond yields. The dollar strengthened against other currencies especially EUR, GBP and JPY.
1/7
The crypto market was especially hard hit due to LUNA/UST, FTX/Alameda, and funds such as 3AC blowing up. Bad actors and degeneracy helped bring down crypto even harder than the wider macro market did.
2/7
With the many predictions of recessions around the world, the fed seemingly looks to hold rates at a high level throughout 2023. Has inflation actually topped or will there be a future resurgence? But, more importantly, how are you taking advantage of either outcome?
After first being announced almost 2 months ago, the @MeritCircle_IO team have shared exciting information about their new NFT marketplace: #Sphere - @GetOnSphere
Here's a short summary of what we know from $MC so far, and what we have to look forward to 🧵
1/24
Despite NFTs being heavily related to #GameFi, current NFT marketplaces (@OpenSea, @LooksRare, @the_x2y2) are still completely focused on PFP/memes/membership/utility/celebrity NFTs.
Gaming asset NFTs are lost in the mix, and this is where Sphere comes in.
2/24
Merit Circle are working with @DeptAgency to deliver a purpose-built NFT marketplace which specifically targets these gaming assets.
The aim is to become a multi-chain, all-in-one, low-fee, marketplace for gamers to buy, sell, and trade their in-game NFTs.
