Phishing Scam Alert Issued for SOL-Based Move-to-Earn Game STEPN  

Blockchain security watchdog PeckShield has posted a warning on its Twitter account cautioning all users of fitness app STEPN that it has “detected a bath of @Stepnofficial phishing sites”. These sites contain a fake MetaMask browser extension and are stealing people’s crypto:

Hacks Growing in Step with STEPN

The fitness-based app is the latest prime target for scammers across the web. The STEPN community is growing rapidly, as more and more users sign up everyday and download the app. This has created the perfect sea for hackers to cast their nets wide and lure their prey through fugazi phishing sites. Fake STEPN websites are popping up everywhere and setting off alarm bells at PeckShield Alert.

Scammers have been stealing crypto after tricking users into entering their seed phrases into dodgy MetaMask wallets. Another scenario is where users are fooled into connecting their real wallet to a bad actor’s site under the guise of claiming a “giveaway”.

PeckShield provides a popular resource for the crypto community to keep up-to-date with the most recent hacks and phishing scams. Due to its recent surge in popularity, the STEPN platform has become a focus for scammers.

STEPN Overtakes Axie in Google Searches

STEPN, whose move-to-earn token has soared 217x in 2022, is a decentralised application (dApp) powered by the Solana blockchain. Following the success of the hugely popular play-to-earn game Axie Infinity, “STEPN” has been searched for more times around the world than the term “Axie”, according to Google statistics.

STEPN’s appeal is easy to understand – who wouldn’t want to get paid in Solana for going for walks and runs? As the game’s community continues to grow, and more users download the STEPN app, unfortunately so does activity from seasoned hackers.

Warning: Do Not Connect Wallets to Fake STEPN Websites

STEPN has only one official website. Do not visit or connect your wallet to any other fake site, even if it resembles the official STEPN branding. These fake phishing websites can look very similar and, in many cases, almost identical to the real thing. Always double-check you are on the official website and minimise making any costly mistakes by accessing the STEPN platform only through links via the official STEPN website, or associated social accounts.

Australia Binance Blockchain BNB Crypto News Play to Earn Solana Tokens

Move-To-Earn Token STEPN Has Soared 217x in 2022  

Active types can now get paid to exercise and breathe in the fresh outdoor air with new Australian fitness app STEPN – an NFT-based play-to-move Web3 crypto “game” powered by the Solana blockchain.

Following in the footsteps of Genopets – the first move-to-earn NFT crypto game developed on Solana – STEPN is basically a mash-up of Apple’s step-counting Health app with Axie Infinity-style play-to-earn (P2E) tokenomics.

With over half a million downloads so far on Android alone, STEPN has taken off and so has its governance token, $GMT.

STEPN’s Green Metaverse Token (GMT) has sprinted upwards, increasing five-fold in value over the past month, from US$0.65 to an all-time high of US$3.79. $GMT is the token required for making upgrades to the App’s in-game NFT virtual sneakers. GMT’s market cap is now over US$2 billion and the token is currently ranked #60.

The most recent 26 percent spike came after STEPN announced a partnership with Japanese sports apparel giant Asics on April 18 via Twitter, launching a sneaker sale on the Binance NFT marketplace. Selected subscribers will be able to purchase the first STEPN sneakers on the BNB Chain version of the game:

Earn Crypto Exercising Outside

Users can earn crypto by walking or running with the STEPN App. The app tracks movement via your phone’s GPS and rewards are paid in STEPN’s game token: Green Satoshi Token (GST), which can be traded for USD Coin (USDC) or Solana (SOL).

Players begin by choosing a fitness level that suits their goals, which also determines how many tokens can be earned using the app. The four tiers are divided by different types of virtual sneakers: walker, jogger, runner or trainer. STEPN sneaker NFTs can be found and purchased from the in-app marketplace. Check the stepn.com website for full instructions on how to play.

Since the game has taken off, the price to get started playing has elevated accordingly. Currently the floor price for a pair of sneakers is 13.67 SOL (US$1,400+). Participants in the upcoming STEPN Shoebox sale on Binance will be offered mystery boxes containing a pair of NFT Sneakers of random quality and type, for 0.5 BNB (US$210).

STEPN plans to implement a sneaker-rental feature, coming soon to combat the high cost to entry.

How to Start STEPN

  1. Download the app from the App store (available for Android and Apple) and log in with your email address and verification code.
  2. Get verified. Join the official Discord and Telegram channels and get your activation code to enter the app on your phone. Note: due to popular demand, the development team is only releasing 1000 activation codes per day via Discord and 1000 per day via Telegram. You have to be quick, as codes refresh at midnight AEDT. You can also follow @Stepnofficial on Twitter for more activation code releases.
  3. Link your Solana wallet in the STEPN app and purchase your first pair of virtual sneakers from the STEPN marketplace. Sneakers can be customised and enhanced to increase token rewards.

STEPN buzz continues to gain traction amid rumours of further upcoming partnership announcements with other big shoe brands, including Nike and Adidas. Since the STEPN token sale in March, the app is off to a flying start, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Whether the move-to-earn model can prove sustainable over time will be the real test, but for now STEPN is showing no signs of slowing down.

Survey Finds 32% Would Quit Their Job to Play NFT Games Full-Time

A new survey conducted by Balthazar, an Australian NFT gaming company, has found that one in three people would be willing to quit their job if NFT games could allow them to work full-time as gamers.

At least 32 percent of the survey’s 1,103 respondents – predominantly from the Philippines – said they would engage full-time in NFT games if they allowed them to earn the same as, or more than, their current jobs.

Balthazar CEO John Stefanidis says he isn’t surprised by the survey’s findings:

[Gamers] love play-to-earn games and many are ready to quit their other jobs to play NFT games instead, as they could potentially be earning the same, if not more, from playing NFT games.

John Stefanidis, CEO, Balthazar

However, the majority of respondents believe the P2E ecosystem is still in its infancy and is not mature enough to provide them with an adequate income. Over two-thirds said they would need to earn between US$1 to $20 per day (those who have jobs in the Philippines earn an average US$316 per month, or about US$16 per workday) to play NFT games full-time.

Other respondents said they could just play NFT games while keeping their jobs. Some, however, can’t afford NFT assets to even start playing, the reason why Balthazar offers scholarships for its users.

P2E Disrupting the Games Industry

The rise of non-fungible token video games has provided gamers with an opportunity to earn a passive income, thanks to the P2E (Play-to-Earn) model implemented by popular titles such as Axie Infinity.

With the rise of NFT games, a new inducement to engage newcomers to the space is via scholarships, basically a practice where owners of NFTs transfer their assets to new players who don’t own any of their own to play for them and receive a percentage of the earnings. This became a popular method within the Axie Infinity community:

We believe that play-to-earn games will be the biggest disruptor in the crypto space this year, as well as the video game industry, as more gaming companies, crypto holders and traditional investors are investing in the space.

John Stefanidis, CEO, Balthazar

However, it seems some are not happy with the rise of the NFT and P2E industries, tagging them as creators of “bullshit jobs” – a term coined by American anthropologist David Graeber whose 2018 book of the same name analyses the societal harm of meaningless jobs.

By way of perspective, a report published by the Blockchain Game Alliance in December showed that NFT games generated US$2.3 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2021 alone, and generally saw remarkable growth throughout the year.

STEPN Token Soars 128% Following Web 3.0 Move-to-Earn Token Sale

STEPN token has soared 128 percent following its Web 3.0 token sale. The app allows users to earn money while exercising and adds to the very small market of move-to-earn. STEPN joins Genopets which was the first move-to-earn initiative.

Burn Calories, Earn Tokens

STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle app built with in-game GameFi and Social-Fi elements. Players can make “handsome earnings by walking, jogging, or running outdoors”, according to the project’s website. The first project to bring to life a functioning move-to-earn concept, STEPN finished in fourth place out of 500+ projects at the Solana Ignition hackathon 2021.

Users in the game equip themselves with NFTs in the form of sneakers. Through movement, users earn game currency to be used in-game or cashed out for profit.

Towards Wider Web3 Adoption

The goal of STEPN is to utilise GameFi to move millions of people towards a healthier lifestyle, combat climate change, and connect the public to Web 3.0. Along with all of that, the project hinges on its Social-Fi aspect to build a long-lasting platform to foster user-generated Web 3.0 content.

Naturally, users are excited and many took to Twitter to share their elation:

Move-to-Earn Is On the Move

STEPN joins Genopets, the world’s first mobile move-to-earn NFT game that aims to bridge the physical and digital worlds. Genopets, like STEPN, is built on the Solana blockchain and allows users to create an NFT connected to their fitness data.

SEGA Backtracks on NFT Plans after Fan Backlash

SEGA has put its NFT plans on the backburner after copping considerable backlash from players across the globe, many of whom are calling it another “money grab” scheme from gaming companies.

Following a SEGA management meeting held on December 24, SEGA president and CEO Haruki Satomi mentioned that his views on the play-to-earn model were still to be decided. However, back in April 2019 when the company announced to some of its global customers that it was going to produce NFTs, some responses had been “negative”.

Satomi added that “if it is perceived as simple money-making, I
would like to make a decision not to proceed”. At the moment, there seems to be an uprise from gamers against the P2E model and NFTs built into games, especially in the light of what happened with Ubisoft Quartz last month.

As companies continue to gauge the reaction of this new wave of in gaming going forward, others are jumping in head-first. Recently, the creator of SimCity launched an NFT game in which players are also creators, but it is seen more as an educational game.

Not All Gamers Like NFTs

Gamers worldwide have been growing tired of big gaming companies finding new ways to make money off their clients, before loot boxes were even a thing. For some, adding NFTs looks like another way to make just that happen.

SEGA’s Vision of a Metaverse

Satomi also briefly touched on the metaverse, stating that as a concept it would possibly change in the next five years. He sees the metaverse as a place where a community can gather, but says that shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all of a game.

We want to make Super Game as a game that supports global and multi-platform with having a network and a community. If such a game has a competitive element called PvP [player vs player], it could turn into an e-sport.

Haruki Satomi, president and CEO, SEGA

The creators of Sonic added that if they ever go into the blockchain space, they would “work with partners on new technologies and domains, including NFTs, rather than dealing with them in-house”.

World’s First 8-Bit RPG Game ‘MetaGods’ Launching as Play-To-Earn MMO

MetaGods is the world’s first 8-bit play-to-earn experience, in the form of a multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) built on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It’s come out of the gates with some fanfare, given that it is backed by some big names including YouTube celebrity Mr Beast, and top YouTube crypto channel, Boxmining.

The Gameplay

MetaGods players are in effect mythological demigods trying to gain ascension through battle in either Atlantis (casual) mode or Zion, the hardcore mode where you have only one chance to play for legendary loot. Your character, equipment and loot are stored as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and can be sold or bought on the digital marketplace, giving players the chance to monetise their time in the game.

You can play as a Tank, DPS, or Healer against hordes of enemies and earn some loot. Playing with friends is encouraged with the push to Social GameFi, where gamers are rewarded: “With the holy trinity of MMO, you have a better chance to win against the pantheon to earn those sweet, sweet APY rewards,” according to the roadmap.

MetaGods can be played in either Atlantis (casual) or Zion (hardcore) modes.

Dual Token System Applies

The game incorporates a dual token system:

  • $MGOD is used for adventure packs, to enter raids, and in the marketplace; and
  • $RELIC is used in-game to forge new weapons, armour, or anything available in the crafting section.

In short, $MGOD is used as the governance token of the project and can be used to enter special events while $RELIC is an earnable in-game currency that supports the play-to-earn structure of MetaGods.

Mint Your Own NFTs

The game allows you to mint your own NFTs so that you can “fight your way through epic dungeons and earn loot”. With each character as a generative NFT, there are many roles that you can play to support your team whether you are a healer, a DPS or a tank.

Within that realm, NFTs are not just your avatar, but are your in-game character. Each character NFT will in turn have randomly generated character stats, as well as equipment including weaponry and armour.

NFT characters will have randomly generated equipment.

Battle the Gods for APY

To keep the game interesting there will be weekly special events with boss challenges, where a high APY incentive is provided for the community to band together and fight against the gods. There will also be tournaments and airdrops on special occasions for players who stick for the long run.

The official game release is set for Q1 of 2022, according to the roadmap, and with the game currently on BSC there are plans to integrate Solana as soon as possible with the other chains to follow. The project has raised US$3 million in funding from its supporting investors to build up the game, economy, and community.

MetaGods roadmap

Many new GameFi projects rely on their community and participation to make everything work. Recent project Genopets, for example, which uses players’ fitness data for the game, raised US$8.3 million in seed funding.

How to Get Involved

MetaGods announced the NFT sale via Twitter, which at the time of publication, kicks off in 10 hours.

Users keen to get involved should visit MetaGod’s NFT raffle sale page, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to participate. For other gameplay information, be sure to check out the MetaGods pitchdeck which, among other things, also covers information about the team, the roadmap and relevant tokenomics.

4 Exciting New Crypto Metaverse Projects Coming Soon

The promise of the metaverse has many new prospective projects vying to become top dog in this exciting new world. With Microsoft and Meta (formerly Facebook) joining the fray, new independent projects are increasingly looking to create a space for people to spend their time.

With some designed as a social experience and others closer to gaming, it remains to be seen how they will be received by the public when they are released and start to generate some steam.

Let’s look at four of the more exciting metaverse projects coming soon:

STARL

Starl, the first 100 percent community-owned decentralised virtual space project

The Starl Metaverse is a space-themed environment where individuals can buy and sell virtual real estate, purchase satellites to use or rent to others, create, sell and buy NFTs, or interact with other people in the metaverse with customisable avatars in the 3D virtual space that makes up part of the Star-link ecosystem.

The virtual land will mimic a real-world space station positioned in an actual quadrant of our galaxy. The $STARL token will be used as a tool to purchase virtual land in the metaverse as well as a way to vote and play a role in the governance of the project.

Bloktopia

Ground zero at the Bloktopia skyscraper

Bloktopia is a tokenised decentralised virtual reality (VR) crypto skyscraper powered by the Polygon network where $BLOK holders, also known as Bloktopians, can purchase digital real estate on one of the 21 levels of the virtual high-rise. The massive ‘building’ will also be home to various merchants where players can buy digital collectibles and services, or just hang out if they want to.

Bloktopia will provide an unprecedented VR experience for the crypto community, bringing users together all in one immersive and engaging environment.

Bloktopia Light Paper

Users will have access to crypto information and immersive content all in one place, where they can learn in an open and friendly environment in VR. Bloktopians will be able to earn revenue through real estate ownership and advertising, play games, build networks and much more.

Somnium Space

Somnium is a realistic open VR world with its own digital economy (CUBE virtual currency) that players can use for purchasing NFTs on the marketplace, along with using it for games, social experiences and virtual land ownership. One of the impressive features of the game is that it will be cross-platform and fully accessible from any device, from 2D mode on a user’s desktop to an immersive VR mode on a desktop or mobile.

The project has partnered with OpenSea’s online platform to use the marketplace for exchanging collectibles, while a partnership with Matic allows the use of its second layer to bring speed and close to zero costs to users for in-game transactions. The game has been out for a while, though only recently started making headway after being made available on Steam.

The project has partnered with Sony to use its 3D model creation technology, allowing users to create fully embodied avatars of themselves in minutes alongside any 3D models for Somnium Store. Users will also be able to program their own experience and monetise it through the asset store or on their property.

The Uplift

Uplift art gallery

The Uplift metaverse is a Minecraft-based massive multiplay NFT virtual environment where players can build, play, and own their parts in the world.

In their explorations, players can mine the native token Upliftium (WAXP), but according to The Uplift’s official page WAXP can mainly be obtained by staking “battery” marked NFTs within the game or on the marketplace. Players will need to purchase a “passport” to be able to play and earn within the game, otherwise it’s more like regular Minecraft.

The project has been running for a while now and has even dedicated a piece of land as an art gallery. The Exhibition Spotlight is a series intended to highlight some artists that are being showcased in the Uplift World Metaverse’s various art galleries, which will later be replaced by a new exhibit.

First Projects Set to Launch on ‘StarLaunch’, Solana’s IDO Launchpad

The creators of CardStarter have delivered “StarLaunch”, an initial DEX offering (IDO) launchpad for the Solana (SOL) blockchain, and new Solana based projects are ready to launch.

StarLaunch is an incubator for blockchain projects built atop Solana, which aims to connect them with their community of backers. As the first insured IDO launchpad and incubator for Solana blockchain projects, its stated goal is to connect its “community of backers with trusted and thoroughly vetted Solana blockchain projects”.

What is an IDO?

An initial DEX offering platform, or IDO platform, is one where crypto projects are listed and work as an investor pool. Investors can then invest in projects listed on the launchpad with the IDO model, whereby the crypto coin or token is launched via a decentralised liquidity exchange to fund the projects.

Think of an IDO as a sort of decentralised and permissionless crowdfunding platform, which now opens up a whole new way of fundraising in the cryptosphere.

About StarLaunch

starlaunch.com website

The StarLaunch model could be compared with that of Polkastarter which has been successful at crowdfunding Polkadot-based projects in a similar way over the past year or so. Check out the StarLaunch Slide Deck to learn more about the project.

StarLaunch promotes these three key aspects:

  • Selective listing – employing stringent and formulaic project vetting.
  • Insurance fund – offering insurance to protect its community. Your IDO investments are insured for the first three months after staking.
  • Propulsion program – offering advisory support for its approved projects.

For comparison, and to see what sets StarLaunch apart, this table will prove insightful:

Comparison between StarLaunch and CardStarter. Source: StarLaunch

The $STARS token itself has seen quite an increase, rising from under US$3 to more than US$15 within the past week or so.

How to Participate

Disclaimer: Before you get started with these new projects and tokens, please understand that you may lose all your capital. DeFi projects get rugged all the time and some investors lose everything.

In order to get started with StarLaunch, stake your $STARS tokens to generate $N2H4, which is the token used to participate in the initial IDOs that launch on the platform.

So a typical process for option 1 might look like this:

  1. Do your own research
  2. Make your plan
  3. Complete KYC on starlaunch.com
  4. Buy SOL (from your exchange or such)
  5. Send SOL to your Solana Phantom wallet (or such)
  6. Use Raydium.io to swap SOL into STARS (or such)
  7. Go to app.starlaunch.com and stake your STARS
  8. When the IDO launches, you can stake your $N2H4 into the project

There is a more detailed explanation of everything on the Starlaunch blog post.

IDOs Set to Launch Soon

It has been announced that MonkeyBall, a SOL-powered play-to-earn game, has been selected as the launch partner of StarLaunch, courtesy of the game’s large community, investor backing and strong fundamentals, all of which cement it as a top play-to-earn game in the future.

We’ll keep you updated on any other IDOs set to launch on the platform as soon as we find out about them.

Metaverse Token SAND Hits All-Time Highs as Play-to-Earn Game Nears Alpha Launch

The Sandbox (SAND), Animoca Brands’ virtual property and gaming project, has announced its highly anticipated Metaverse Alpha event starting later this month. Following the announcement, SAND prices have surged to new all-time highs.

Play-to-Earn Metaverse Event

After four years of development, the Sandbox (SAND) team’s play-to-earn (P2E) Sandbox Alpha event will allow players the opportunity to explore The Sandbox Metaverse for the first time. The virtual gaming world enables users to monetise their time spent in the metaverse via a P2E model. Players can purchase land and create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within the game and earn Sandbox tokens (SAND) by completing various quests.

The Sandbox Alpha Hub launches on November 29 and closes on December 20. Players who want to take part in the event will need to get their hands on an Alpha Pass, the NFT ticket that will grant full access to the multi-week event to 5000 people. Golden tickets will be on sale on OpenSea’s secondary market between November 29 and December 19.

Players without an Alpha Pass will still be able to access three full experiences and the Alpha HUB, a central multiplayer experience showcasing a range of locations, quests, and the opportunity to connect with other players from the community. However, they will not be eligible to earn P2E rewards.

Prizes to be Won in the Alpha

Owners of the Alpha Pass will have the opportunity to earn 1,000 SAND for completing all objectives of the Alpha. Additionally, pass owners have special access to three exclusive The Sandbox Alpha NFTs, which will only be available during the Alpha event.

NFT prizes for owners of the Alpha Pass: The Sandbox

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Animoca Brands co-founder and chairman Yat Siu cautioned future investors that they should take the time to carefully experience The Sandbox before buying tokenised land:

Just go to the places, experience them, join the community on Discord, have a chat with them. See what it’s all about before you make the plunge to buy land because, you know, it’s like buying real estate anywhere in the world.

 Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman, Animoca Brands

Metaverse Token Explodes

According to data from CoinGecko, the price of SAND hit a new all-time high of US$3.97 on November 18. SAND has been on a meteoric surge in 2021, gaining 10,545 percent over the past 12 months. Earlier this month ,the SAND token pumped 158 per cent following the Facebook metaverse announcement.

SAND/USD price chart. Source: CoinGecko

At the start of this month, The Sandbox closed a US$93 million Series B funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. The project has been in development for four years and will launch its metaverse in “phased stages” moving forward.

With the idea of the metaverse inching its way into the public sphere, more people are taking part. Barbados recently established the first-ever metaverse embassy as part of its aggressive expansion to build infrastructure and purchase digital land.

NFT Metaverse Game Star Atlas Releases Roadmap, but No Sign of the Actual Game

Star Atlas is one of the most anticipated play-to-earn games in the crypto gaming space, with users already owning thousands of dollars’ worth of in-game assets. However, while the project boasts a beautiful website and fully functioning marketplace, there’s no game or even Alpha build to be seen.

Hosted on the Solana (SOL) blockchain, Star Atlas has attracted considerable hype based on the concepts and possibilities of what’s quite literally a game-changer. The game incorporates some of the latest graphical innovations, such as Unreal Engine 5 and Nanite technology that allows for the creation of worlds at unprecedented scale and detail. Players can own in-game assets (planets, ships, parts/items, in-game resources) with real-world value, either to be used in the game or sold on the marketplace.

The fact that there is no actual game build to be seen leads some to believe the game might end up the same way Earth 2 did. In that case, developers made claims of creating an exact virtual replica of Earth, comparable to a metaverse like “Ready player one or the Matrix”, allowing people to buy virtual land that might attract future value. Yet years later, the game is still in development and has been called a scam and Ponzi scheme by many.

Technology May Be Still Some Way Off

BigFry, a prominent YouTuber best-known for talking about “shady” developers and publishers in the gaming space, has taken a crack at Star Atlas, pointing out some of the aspects that could be an indication of a scam. As he says, it’s much easier to start a marketing campaign than to build a metaverse. Many times in the past developers have over-promised and under-delivered, with BigFry also stating that he thinks the technology required to build a game like this is still far away.

Star Atlas Is Not Your Average Game

Star Citizen had the same problem with lots of content but no game builds ever piercing the veil, with some some believing Star Atlas could be on the same road. There are more than 250 players already on the leaderboards, with the top-ranking player owning over US$800K in total in-game assets.

According to a YouTube interview with Star Atlas founder Michael Wagner, the project aims to break the mould in the industry by creating a metaverse where the aim is not just to play a game, but to construct an economy where gamers, entrepreneurs and people who want to work to earn money can come together and empower each other.

This is one of the main reasons why the game is being developed economy first, to allow players to understand the mechanics as well as to build all the systems from scratch on the blockchain. After slowly onboarding players to the marketplace and intricacies of the economy, actually playing the game comes next. At the moment there is a mini-game available where players can craft loot. Additionally, Wagner says that one of the first gameplay mechanics to be released will be the ship mission, available on May 31, 2022.

There are other works in progress such as character models and environments which can show for something, but that’s an easy task for a team of designers. Wagner says that in January 2022 there will be a digital showroom with interactable character models created with the new gaming engine, and where players can view their created NFTs.

In the meantime, the company has published a roadmap to assure investors and future players that everything is still on track:

It remains to be seen how the project will develop, but according to the roadmap the game’s 3D browser version is a “fully charted game map [Star Atlas] viewable and playable in-browser. This also unlocks coordinates for ship missions, exploration, and mining actual owned land claims”, scheduled for release on July 31, 2022.
