🥂 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥂

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, but nonetheless I’m bullish on the blockchain gaming space and the Play to Earn Online Magazine as an editorial platform. Like last year I will keep working hard to bring you guys the industry coverage you deserve. There will be more game festivals, more news, more crypto art, more incentives, more collectibles, and exactly the same amount of weekly newsletters. And I couldn’t be more happy to announce the first monthly newsletter sponsor for this year: Our frens from Aavegotchi! So let’s make this a better year for all of us! Bless you! 🥳 — Robert Hoogendoorn

SPONSORED — Boo! 👻 Oh, don’t be scared fren! Aavegotchis are cute, on-chain collectible ghosts filled with Aave’s interest-generating aTokens. So basically you have a cute little ghost, filled with money, that gives you interest. Players can use their ghost to compete for rewards by earning experience points, leveling up and increasing the rarity of their Aavegotchi fren. Aavegotchi is governed by the AavegotchiDAO and the native eco-governance token GHST, which you can farm by having a rare Aavegotchi. Summon your first Aavegotchi today, and join the future with DeFi-staked NFT-avatars. — Go the Aavegotchi.com for more info, or ask questions on Discord.

👨‍🏫 30 Blockchain Games To Watch in 2021

One year ago I made the decision to contribute to the blockchain space writing editorial content. My first article was “23 Blockchain Games to Keep an Eye on in 2020”. In just one year time, the blockchain gaming space has become a lot more vivid with a great variety of available content across different blockchains and platforms. That’s why we’re back with the 30 blockchain games you really need to keep an eye on in 2021. The next two to three years will be a period of major growth for blockchain gaming! ▶▶▶ Read the list

🤩 Play to Earn: Making Money in Alien Worlds

At this very moment Alien Worlds is still in its early days, but the game already has a very strong play-to-earn foundation. Currently there’s a beta test live for mining, which allows anybody to dive in the game and earn the in-world cryptocurrency Trilium and — if you’re lucky’ — a variation of digital assets. I’ve been knees deep into this since last week, and together with some awesome people in the Play to Earn Community we created this guide into “Making Money Mining in Alien Worlds”, so make sure you don’t miss out. ▶▶▶ Read and start earning

🎨 Cryptopunks Sale Destroys Previous Record

As if it was scheduled to break the internet just before New Year’s Eve… Punk 3307 changed hands for $137.500. This digital collectible from the Cryptopunks series sold one year earlier for 2500 dollars. ▶▶▶ Read why this one is special

🤴 Landowners in Mirandus Decide on City Plan

Mirandus is one of the games I’m keeping a really close eye on, along with titles like for example Ember Sword and Chainmonsters. Anyway, Gala Games revealed some new details about their upcoming open-world MMORPG. As a deed-owner you have the rights to deploy a town anywhere on the map, and because you’re the owner, you can also decide what businesses are allowed within your borders. ▶▶▶ Learn more

🤑 Earning Bitcoin Winning in Counter-Strike GO

When we talk about blockchain games we tend to only refer to the Ethereum, WAX, EOS, Hive or Flow blockchain. However, the mother of all blockchain networks also allows for some gaming. Developers like Satoshi’s Games are using the Liquid Network to add NFTs to their games, and now Zebedee launched Infuse on the Lightning Network. Infuse allows Counter-Strike GO players to play for money on special dedicated servers. This stuff looks cool! ▶▶▶ Check it out

PLAY TO EARN COMMUNITY UPDATE

In total more than 1300 people have voted for the Blockchain Games Awards 2020. Distributing the 1000 PLAY reward for three lucky winners won’t be a problem. We will conduct the lottery on Monday. However, airdropping 50 $PLAY manually to 1300 people will be a BIG problem. That will take me three full days, not even mentioning the gas prices. Therefore I’m looking for a solution that will allow you to claim the PLAY tokens either to your Roll Wallet or to your Metamask. I know that users from South East Asia have difficulty getting a Roll wallet. So anybody who knows of great tools for claiming tokens, please hit me up in the #feedback channel in our community Discord server!

New to $PLAY? Join our community on Discord and claim your first tokens! Readers of our newsletter receive free $PLAY tokens EVERY week through their Roll wallet! Get your 10 $PLAY now
