Is web3 the future of the Internet? Or is it merely a buzzword used to lure unsuspecting investors to Ponzi schemes? We know that it’s worth at least hundreds of billions of dollars today and over a trillion during the crypto market’s peak. It is a budding but vibrant industry, involving millions of people across the globe, from normal everyday users to multi-billion dollar companies, and everything in between. We also know that the space is fraught with scams, money laundering, Ponzi mechanics, and all manners of financial perils that could compel anyone to run for the hills. The fact…

SMS could massively change the mobile landscape for Solana dApps. Many have said that the future is mobile. That was 10 years ago. Comprising over 90% of global Internet usage, mobile is obviously mainstream now. Yet why is it that the vast majority of decentralized applications (dApps) still run on Desktop browsers? For an industry that’s supposed to be on the cutting edge of Internet innovation, we’re surprisingly behind the times; it’s embarrassing. The truth is, many have actually tried making crypto more mobile-friendly. Most of their strategies involved creating a blockchain phone, from the HTC Exodus 1 to the…

Yield farming can get tedious and boring very quickly due to the numbers and complexities involved. While most platforms are designed that way, MOBOX takes a more exciting approach by gamifying yield farming and other decentralized finance (DeFi) activities. Ever since non-fungible tokens (NFTs), DeFi, and play-to-earn (P2E) games became a thing, people started looking for more gaming projects to feed their thirst for these innovative technologies, especially those that blend multiple crypto subsectors. This is how the concept of GameFi came about. MOBOX fits right in this circle by crunching out an innovative way to yield farm through gaming.…

With the pleasantly surprising debut of Saga, Solana’s forthcoming Android-based smartphone, in NYC yesterday, comes the announcement of Solana Mobile Stack (SMS for short), a revolutionary toolkit that could potentially power web3 apps natively on Android phones. The Problem with Web3 Mobile Today Most Solana applications, or even other blockchain applications in general, are built for desktop browsers, not mobile devices. The few blockchain apps that are on mobile have very limited functionalities compared to their desktop equivalents. This is because mobile browsers can’t install extensions. As much as web3 has brought limitless opportunities to enhance many lives, there remains…

WAGMI Beach is building a web3 Disney for adults, and the Catalina Whales are their Mickey Mouse. The non-fungible token (NFT) space brought glory to the underdogs, from degenerates to punks, from apes to small animals, stoners to ‘okay’ people; the list goes on. People typically root for the little guy, and there is a lot of science behind why we favor David over Goliath. But what about those who have already ‘made it’ in life? Those who have done their dues and are already reaping the fruits of their labors? Don’t they deserve a brand and community to vibe…

When it comes to the mass hysteria surrounding ‘apes’ in crypto, all roads lead back to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), now an elite community that consists of some of the industry’s most prominent investors, project runners, and public figures, as well as various celebrities in Holywood, sports, music, etc. This explains why many are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their hands on a Bored Ape. They want to be ‘in’ the club to take advantage of the access or be part of the story. Some are even willing to shell out millions for…

An unverified statistic claims that 99% of NFT projects consist of apes. Considering that there are nine million non-primate species in the animal kingdom, this speaks volumes of the industry’s fascination with our banana-gobbling cousins. The NFT space has seen collections showcasing whales, big cats, geckos, aliens, bulls, bears, and even inanimate objects like hotdogs and cars. But everybody can agree that the vast majority of NFTs are apes, so much so that the term has become jargon for rush-buying NFTs of a particular project, even if they look nothing like monkeys. For example: I aped into Meebits last night…

Do you like anime? Yes? If so, would you be willing to spend $20,000 or more to be part of a decentralized community of anime fans with exclusive perks? Probably not. But many people have and continue to do so. In fact, there was a point when buyers were paying over $100K on average for one single Azuki. So what is it? And why would people pay ridiculous amounts for it? Well, Azuki is a non-fungible token (NFT), just like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes. Its perceived valuation comes from a lot of interesting things. Some see it as their future…
