Studying the rise of Axie again:
Can’t wait to see Genesis go live shortly after RSGP and watch this attention amplifier take effect:
Still remarkable how CryptoKitties (and Axie btw) acted as a huge onboarding event for new users into crypto.
Seems like both had the right mix of cuteness, novelty, and internet capitalism to attract new users the rate they did.

Do you have your charter NFT ready?
Think we should start a content series like this once Cambria Genesis is live and players can start running their scholar operations:
Cleared for landing 🛬
Funny how Paws of Sherwood is strongly incentivizing botting/sybils to pump their player numbers.
Pingu Charts shared that Kintara was also lenient toward botting.
I suppose it's largely a narrative thing (think Heroes of Mavia playbook) to attract token buyers.

The design of Deeds is an interesting mix of factory NFTs, Project Mars Plots, Crypto Valleys, etc.
2 observations:
1. Reward design will create lots of demand for Fertilizer
2. Speculation: I don’t think there’ll be a new onchain token (thinking some type of Valor instead)

📜 What does a Yield Fields Deed actually do?
You don't need one to farm. Anyone can plant, harvest and sell.
But Deed holders can build on their land, and farmers will want what they make, starting with Fertilizer from their Fert Decks.
Here are the perks of owning a Deed 🧵

Cambria’s Founding Charters NFTs combine Axie Origins (access + breeding), Loot (art + trait design), and original charters (earnings gate), with interesting yield mechanics designed for an MMORPG.
Make sure to apply for WL now on the website.
(hope I'll make the list)

Innovative NFTs are just getting started this cycle
I like the design in “passive yield NFTs,” where a % of earnings gets locked and is only claimable upon burn.
So, to claim X value, you have to give up your yield, which in turn burns supply and increases yield for the remaining NFTs.
Project Mars is a good (not perf) example.

Pretty sure this will be Fluent's new "fantasy game," where you speculate on other people.
Couple of other apps building on Fantasy Top’s core idea (Fanta Top = Fantasy x traders), but they’re taking a different approach.
Curious how this will compare to creator coins as well.

Curious whether NFT holding % will differ between holders who earned WL via MoG (requiring risk + time) vs. who won in a (zero-cost) raffle.
Couple of interesting effects at play here like house money, sunk-cost and break-even, and the disposition effect.

MoG made $500K+ by offering ~25% of WLs for Yield Fields.
The game essentially functioned as a monetization mechanic that captures the speculative value of YF NFTs on secondary.
Considering its success, I think this idea of "gamified NFT distribution" will be copied soon.

I realized crypto gaming's total market cap doesn't "matter" anymore for the category to succeed.
Think it represents a decoupling from the stigmas of the past.
Crypto gaming's market cap is near January 2023 lows (according to CMC).
The total market cap of crypto is up ~2.8x since then.
I won't say gaming's success is "inevitable", but sentiment might be too bearish here.
