1/ A thread on how we think of the state of the #NFT market (tldr; its growing and hardly "dead") infact from August to September volume of transactions has grown by over 30% - what's changed? 👇🧵
2/ Transaction volume of #NFT trading as compared to the peak is down in value due to price drops of @ethereum and average price but volume is back to March/April levels and recovering cryptoslam.io/nftglobal
3/ Floor prices of major NFT collections like @BoredApeYC are still hovering around 83 eth the difference is that $eth today is 3x lower in terms of USD value as compared to April opensea.io/collection/bor…
4/ Traffic has also become much more distributed with #NFTs being sold and distributed amongst multiple marketplaces and multiple blockchains as well native in-game marketplaces like @TheSandboxGame @cryptopunksnfts which are not all tracked dappradar.com/nft/marketplac…
5/ What has changed is that speculation of #NFTs has reduced due to the market and a lot of NFT purchases are for utility as can be seen in projects like @the_phantom_g which affects trading volume but does not affect user-adoption
6/ Judging an entire market simply by one metric is imperfect you need to take a multifaceted lens eg. @TheSandboxGame has seen record growth in users in its last season despite the market and blockchain wallets continues to rise statista.com/statistics/647…
7/ While the value of many crypto tokens has dropped in recent times, the important long-term indicator that everyone should keep their eyes on is the strong growth of #Web3 something that we remain very optimistic on. ysiu.medium.com/glimpsing-the-…
8/ #web3 investment has and continues to be the most active investment category and is also attracting the best talent in the space despite the "bear" cointelegraph.com/news/web3-domi…
9/ The devastating Dot-com crash of 2000 didn’t kill the burgeoning Internet. The frigid crypto winter of 2018 didn’t extinguish the crypto flame and the current market conditions will not kill #Web3, the #openmetaverse, #NFTs, or crypto. newstatesman.com/science-tech/2…

1/ #blockchaingaming is here to stay .@AxieInfinity has trailblazed #playandearn #nftgames, but it’s also a natural target for anyone against #NFTs and #web3 #blockchain games. This hostility is unwarranted, unfair and often without the benefit of facts and context.
🧵👇
2/ .@AxieInfinity remains one of the most played #NFT games in the world with the following metrics:

771,000 monthly-active on-chain users
370,000 weekly-active on-chain users
2.3 million Axie holders
4 million Ronin wallet downloads $AXS $RON #blockchaingames
3/ The financial strength of @AxieInfinity is starkly evident, with current FDV close to $4B (it listed at $27M). It not only weathered a major hack but also repaid all losses to affected players, a testament to its durability and care for the community. roninblockchain.substack.com/p/the-ronin-br…

1/ @Microsoft @Minecraft has just revealed that it will exclude anyone, without notice & due process, simply if they disagree with them and that they too operate as a digital dictatorship changing their terms of service on a whim washingtonpost.com/video-games/20…
2/ #minecraft has directly caused pain and suffering to an innocent & blameless minority who was purged and cleansed without regard to their circumstances and without advance notice causing at least >$100m in damages coindesk.com/business/2022/… (we have no stake in @nftworlds)
3/ @Minecraft has provided no evidence that operating #NFTs are harmful to their community given that a vast majority of all players are not engaged in any #blockchain version. Previous term did not disallow #NFT or #blockchain implementations of #minecraft have existed before

1/ The Otherside is launching on 4/30 only those who KYCed can mint however @BoredApeYC #bayc #mayc holders will be able to claim their #NFT post-auction without the need for KYC. To mint you will need @apecoin $APE details available on @OthersideMeta
2/ All @apecoin earned from this auction will be locked up for one year which means no voting and other uses (eg. staking) for that period as well
3/ Auction will happen only on otherside.xyz news will only be from @othersidemeta @BoredApeYC @yugalabs @animocabrands as well as on Discord at discord.gg/bayc & discord.gg/the-otherside be vigilant/stay safe

1/ .@apecoin frens we have received a proposal from a credible 3rd party blockchain developer who has given us an assessment on a development time table for AIP-4&5 with caps implemented. The proposal is shared at forum.apecoin.com/t/aip-4-stakin… for a summary see 🧵👇 with a poll #DAO
2/ We decided to explore proposals from reputable 3rd party blockchain firms to assess the time table for a discussion with the @apecoin community given the many concerns. This proposal suggests a time table of 14 weeks for the staking implementation itself
3/ and it also assumes 13 weeks of development for the UI which can be done simultaneously. The proposal was created by a very credible blockchain developer who for the time being wishes to remain anonymous given that AIP-4 (revised) was not (and may not be) approved.

1/ lots of discussion on @apecoin AIP-4 and 5 proposal snapshot.org/#/apecoin.ethI will aim to address what appears to be the immediate staking question and will aim to articulate these more formally on my medium and given urgency I thought I would share some initial clarification
2/ AIP-5 proposes 4 separate staking pools, each with a specific number of ApeCoin rewards. Though 3 of the pools are designed to only be available to #BAYC, #MAYC, and/or BAKC holders, reminder: only @apecoin tokens are ever technically staked, not the NFTs.
3/ If a BAYC ecosystem NFT holder wants to stake in pool 2, 3, or 4 they will need to pair the NFT with their ApeCoin to access the relevant staking pool. The NFT itself isn’t staked — it acts as the key to the “safety deposit box” holding the staked ApeCoin.
