People who use the web interact with the Internet Protocol (IP) address, a unique number series that allows web providers to distribute content across the globe. Think of it as the medium for computers to communicate, enabling data transfer to various locations. However, its complexity is not suitable for all users. Therefore, computer scientists developed an easier way to browse online through the Domain Name System (DNS). A DNS allows users to visit websites using names instead of long numerical labels. Although DNS tech has been here for decades, the web3 space for all its innovations, still continues to use…

It welcomes anyone willing to unleash their hidden persona,…

A significant chunk of the web3 and blockchain industries are fueled by memes, from memecoins to meme-powered NFT projects, and now, the Memetaverse. Goblin Town makes an excellent example, having raked more than $30M (and counting) in secondary sales despite being a free mint, having no utility at launch, no marketing budget, and no roadmap nor promise made to holders. Why did it see such tremendous success in such a short time? Its community, many of which were speculators, kept spreading memes of the goblins pissing all across Twitter, until it came to a point where the cheapest goblin NFT…

The music industry has delivered countless beautiful and expressive tunes that have dynamically evolved over the last three decades. But the sad truth remains, many artists are prone to exploitation, with unscrupulous record labels and production companies known to milk every ounce of value, leaving them with less than their fair share. This has been a huge hurdle for up-and-coming artists considering that signing a record label became synonymous with success, even up to this day, to some degree. For the most part, a record deal could make or break your way to stardom. In the 1990s, the Internet was…

Gaming is more than just a pastime, at this point. It is a cultural phenomenon that spans more than half a century, from the time Physicist William Higinbotham created the first electronic game Tennis for Two right down to the Golden Age of Arcade Video Games, when gamers saw a rapid evolution in gaming technology. And today, players are being introduced to a new and rather perplexing concept called the metaverse, which is touted as the next stage of the gaming industry that will make video games far more immersive than ever before. One of the timeless gaming platforms that…

Blockchain is one of the most unique and advanced technologies today that allows different worlds to exist within the metaverse. The once empty spaces were suddenly filled with blockchain-powered platforms, creating empowered projects that provide value to communities where they belong. The virtual world is still in its early days, but with numerous projects hopping in, the infinite possibilities it can provide becomes more evident. One of the platforms that recognized the growing opportunities in this space is Decentraland, where blockchain and gaming enthusiasts can do multiple activities: create, explore, and trade. Decentraland is currently one of the market leaders…

The current market is quite hostile to the vast majority of non-fungible token (NFT) projects, with many of the smaller collections going under mint due to global financial concerns and other bearish sentiments. In fact, the number of projects that are launching also appears to be dwindling this August. However, top-of-the-line projects are still stronger than ever, albeit with slightly fewer secondary sales than before. Remember, the higher the secondary sales, the more money project founders get, which in turn, translates to a bigger budget for continuing development. Let’s explore the most dominant NFT collections in the web3 world. Note…

Blockchain and NFTs. The Sandbox sets a clear goal that aims to change the norm: to bring blockchain into mainstream gaming, providing both crypto and non-crypto enthusiasts with a gaming…
