News From Our Partners
Blocklords
There is still some time left to pre-register for early access to the game; doing so earns you a free hero! If you’re not sure about joining the BLOCKLORDS adventure (exclusive to GamestopNFT), make sure you take a look at their Official Cinematic trailer here.
Genopets
The Habitat Management Portal went live on August 10th, bringing Genopets one step closer to its unique Move-to-Earn vision. Habitats give players the ability to refine crystals and harvest $KI, all while giving their genopets special abilities.. While 300K players are currently on the waitlist, invites will be sent out first to those that have logged in more frequently.
SubQuery
Partnerships have been officialized with Heroes of NFT, Polymesh Network and Fanfury. These news came in as SubQuery is already powering over 25 projects all across web3. By the end of August, an incentivized testet (Kepler) is set to launch, whose $kSQT token may be burned in exchange for $SQT after the public sale and mainnet launch.
Aleph Zero
Aleph Zero continues to impress with news and improvements, as per their July Update! Early August, access to their testnet was also extended to all community validators. Finally, in case you want to meet the team in person, be sure to join them on their Fall Tour (more details here).
Boson Protocol
The Boson v2 protocol, set to launch in Q4 2022, was announced earlier this month. Put simply, it tokenizes commitments to trade rather than trade items themselves, thus giving buyers the guarantee that they get their money back if the seller doesn’t meet expectations.
