The platform allows users to mint their own NFTs and offers a straightforward process for purchasing and selling these digital assets. OpenSea supports various blockchain networks, giving users flexibility in managing their NFTs. Unlike many other NFT marketplaces, OpenSea focuses on providing a user-friendly experience and strong security measures to protect transactions. The company's goal is to make it easy for artists, collectors, and investors to engage with digital assets while generating revenue through transaction fees on sales.

'Maplestory N' Game Launches On Avalanche With Surging Nxpc Token

In brief Long-running gaming franchise MapleStory has entered crypto with MapleStory N, which is now live.A pre-launch free NFT mint was the biggest ever for the Avalanche network, according to Ava Labs.The platform's NXPC token surged in price after launch Thursday, making it one of the most valuable gaming tokens.Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEAvalanche blockchain game MapleStory N launched on Thursday alongside a token and NFTs, in what some crypto gamers are hailing as one of the biggest rollouts to date in the industry.It was so significant that Avalanche saw a 549% spike over the past seven days in active addresses, according to Nansen data, as it processed the biggest NFT mint the network has ever seen.The recently launched game is the first title in an expanded MapleStory Universe ecosystem, which sees the beloved 22-year-old gaming IP adopt blockchain for the first time.“The MapleStory Universe launch has been one of the biggest we’ve seen on Avalanche,” Parker Heath, Gaming Lead at Ava Labs, told Decrypt. “This launch is a strong example of how a major title can drive real usage and showcase the strengths of the network.”MapleStory N is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) centered around the 2D side-scrolling combat and exploration that will be familiar to franchise fans. The crypto twist allows for players own and trade in-game assets on a dedicated Avalanche L1 chain called Henesys, which went live in April.In the build-up to the launch, players could mint a free Scroll NFT that rewards its holders with special in-game items. Over the weeklong mint period, according to OpenSea, more than 1.7 million Scrolls were minted. Ava Labs said it’s the largest mint in Avalanche history.Alongside the game launch on Thursday, the ecosystem’s token Nexpace (NXPC) also started trading, settling at a $441 million market cap as of this writing, according to CoinMarketCap

'The Walking Dead' Ethereum Nft Game Is About To Be Killed Off

In brief Gala Games is sunsetting licensed role-playing game, The Walking Dead: Empires.Users can play the Ethereum NFT game until July 31.Empires NFT holders will receive other Gala NFTs of "equal functionality" as compensation.Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEAn officially licensed “The Walking Dead” role-playing game based on the popular TV show will be shut down after July 31, according to blockchain game publisher Gala Games.The Walking Dead: Empires, a multiplayer survival game that was built around Ethereum NFTs, was playable in open beta for the last year after first being announced in late 2021.“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to sunset The Walking Dead: Empires, with the last playable date set for July 31, 2025,” wrote Gala Games in a statement this week.Available for playtests as early as 2023, the game challenged players to craft weapons, build bases, and fight for survival to keep safe from the “walkers,” or zombies. To enhance the experience, users could buy NFTs of supplies, weapons, or deeds to land to build a base.Unlike other in-game items that eventually disappear from a player’s inventory after so many uses, the NFT-based items in The Walking Dead: Empires were indestructible.While prices have cratered from their NFT bull market days, some in-game assets garnered major price tags a few years ago. For example, legendary land deed claims sold for as much as $67,000 in 2021, per data from the OpenSea marketplace.In 2023, as the game was available for playtest, owners were still asking for top dollars, like $30,000 for an NFT-based handgun, and at least $1,000 for other lower-level items.Now though, all those NFTs are essentially rendered useless as the game’s final play date approaches. As compensation, Gala will distribute other NFTs from its gaming ecosystem to users, aiming to provide those with “equal functionality” to their existing The Walking Dead: Empires NFT holdings.“While the game’s journey is coming to an end, we remain committed to ensuring that these NFTs continue to have utility,” its post reads. “As part of the sunset process, we will be distributing new NFTs of equal functionality in other Gala Games products to TWD:E NFT holders.”Some didn’t take the message kindly.“The Walking Dead: Empires officially rugs on Gala,” said crypto gaming personality Jesus Martinez on X (formerly known as Twitter)
