Started playtesting our entry for @levelsio vibe coding game jam! We built a Fortnite / CoD deathmatch game with a Minecraft aesthetic using the @hytopia game engine, which is based on Three.js Game was vibe coded using agentic Claude 3.5/3.7 with context of the HYTOPIA SDK

I'm going to break down what happened with the @OthersideMeta mint and HOW and WHY it could have went way smoother with proper gas optimizations. Get ready, this is a long one. Let's dive in and start with some proper context on how transactions and gas works...

The number of humongous NFT projects I've had reach out asking @nftworldsNFT to sell our gasless $WRLD transactions tech & node network powering it, or to build one for them is insane. We told them they can all have gasless tx's, it's easy.. just use $WRLD for their ecosystem 😉

Updates coming soon that will remove the final barriers to entry for non-crypto gamers to experience NFT Worlds, earn & manage their $WRLD, buy in-game NFTs & items from the marketplace with $WRLD and more. Very excited, after this - all crypto friction will have been removed.

Biggest @nftworldsNFT alpha to date dropping soon.

Never forget, @nftworldsNFT was a free mint 😁

Ethereum - Blockchain L1 NFT Worlds - Metaverse L1

Been tracking a lot of wallets sell/swapping their $APE for $WRLD 🤔

The @nftworldsNFT World for @grayboysdao has 400/400 players online right now, thousands trying to connect to get in. ~10k+ unique players last 48h. 32k P2E txs We're going to see an explosion of players on NFT Worlds ecosystem as more worlds with fun gameplay come online

Some $WRLD updates. - Community avatar minting (not genesis) will be with $WRLD. - All item purchases & trading from the launcher marketplace will be with $WRLD - The HIGHEST tier P2E $WRLD faucet access will require staking of over 4M $WRLD to access (per world). Cont'd...

👀

Over 10,000 unique daily active players in total across the currently live NFT Worlds yesterday 😁

Bull and bear markets don’t matter to builders 😁

A proposal for major $WRLD tokenomics changes on the P2E side & related sinks across the whole ecosystem are coming soon. $WRLD holders will be able to vote on the updated model proposed. I think everyone's going to like what's coming.. 😄

If you're thinking of launching a NFT project that wants to focus on a P2E gaming experience for its community, build it on top of @nftworldsNFT like many projects are now doing. Heavy incentives will be coming soon from @nftworldsNFT for projects that do this. Don't wait.

Did you know that @nftworldsNFT was a free mint? 😄

Looks like $WRLD has been added as a supported token for Ledger?

Looking forward to see who builds the first learn to earn NFT World 🤔

What's coming? 🤔

$15 in gas to mint 20 Genesis Avatars during the whitelist mint. Not bad. #gasoptimization

Who wants the alpha @nftworldsNFT launcher 🤔

Hey @TimSweeneyEpic - our community has actively been asking us to get in contact with you/Epic. You've seen the recent Minecraft ban of Crypto/NFTs - directly effecting @nftworldsNFT, so now we're building our own game + platform. Your dm's are closed - up for a conversation?

With the coming of the new NFT Worlds on the horizon, I wanted to dive deep into why we believe there’s a perfect storm brewing where @nftworldsNFT can become “The next Minecraft”. A bold claim sure, but bear with me as we dive in… This is going to be a long one. Thread 🧵👇

GM all - Check the @nftworldsNFT Discord for announcements on the Minecraft situation. We are working to figure out to what extent this will effect us and also have potential pivots planned in the absolute worst case that keeps us going. We're not leaving.

There may be a whitelist for the @HYCHAIN_GAMES node sale.. And you may want to start by following @HYCHAIN_GAMES and retweeting this.. 🤔

Frictionless $WRLD transacting for managed wallets. No gas required. No wallet interactions required. No crypto friction. Click & send $WRLD easily. For in-game purchases no need for a wallet extension/app. 1 click for everything $WRLD.

Roadmap 2.0 and revamped $WRLD tokenomics are coming this month for @nftworldsNFT Here’s a hint for some of what to expect, what do you think it means? 🥖 🏦 🥩 🗳 🛍 🎭 👾 🤖 🦄 🎁

There are less than 100 @nftworldsNFT listed for sale. Currently only 94 (0.94%)

👇 BAYC Land predictions. 1. Land does not sell out. 2. 200k plots is significant oversaturation and would need a massive future playerbase to make sense. 3. Gaming normies will not onboard en masse to a new web3-first, unfamiliar game built on $APE/land. Change my mind.

I'm selling 3 @nftworldsNFT from my personal collection. All proceeds (Roughly 50 Eth / $100k) will be donated to Ukraine. The 3 listings will be put up shortly & tx's for proof of donations will follow I'm calling on other NFT project founders to support however they can too

I'm gonna lose my shit if we see an "ApeChain" announcement soon and a narrative that Yuga needs to move everyone to this Yuga owned chain because of issues with the Ethereum network 😂 Would be such a dirty move and confirm prior intent behind the incompetence in the contract.

Seeing 3 to 5 new first-time players join NFT Worlds per minute right now 😄

Gasless in-game $WRLD transactions for @nftworldsNFT 😎

Feels like we're gearing up for announcement rapid fire mode again 😂

Also for those asking - YES we are working on updates related to $WRLD tokenomics. $WRLD as we've said is a keystone in @nftworldsNFT. New mechanisms for utilization & stabilization are being designed right now by some of the best defi/tokenomics experts & engineers we know.

I think it might almost be time to drop the $WRLD tokenomics 2.0 whitepaper 🤔

34.53% (3,453) of all NFT Worlds have been staked in the first few hours of staking going live.

NFT Worlds game client/launcher alpha release is ahead of schedule.

Can't wait for @nftworldsNFT to drop the Tokenomics 2.0 whitepaper later this month. I genuinely think we've cracked the systems and necessary interwoven game theory dynamics to drive the first true mass adoption of GameFi/P2E.

Who wants a detailed set of daily/monthly player stats across all NFT Worlds, average playtime & more? I think the data is going to surprise people... A handful of individual worlds are already past 10,000 unique monthly active players and growing fast. Average playtime is 👀

🚨 2023 HYTOPIA Update Video 🚨 We believe @hytopia can become one of the largest games/game platforms in the world The video explains how, why, & more If you know of @hytopia, or just discovered it.. This video is a MUST watch Give your thoughts in the replies👇 $TOPIA

The dev team's doing something 👀 Prototype @nftworldsNFT rental marketplace coming along 🔥 from our team. UI will be polished prior to release.

I get a lot of credit for how quick NFT Worlds is moving & delivering and I think people think I'm the one doing all of the work The reality is, we have a really talented team behind the scenes that don't often get credit. They're the real 🐐 & why we move and deliver so fast 🎉

I hope free mints for innovative NFT projects become more of a mainstream norm eventually. The incentive structure feels much more win/win for everyone. Derisked entry opportunity for all & team compensation via the royalty model is proportional to a team's ability to deliver.

Just waking up, my remaining 2 worlds have been sold. All 28 eth ($77,000~ USD) of proceeds has been donated to the Ukraine donation fund from selling these 2 worlds. ~ 42 eth in total has been donated. Tx: etherscan.io/tx/0x960b9121f0… Prior donation: etherscan.io/tx/0x916f4ba70d…

We should have a plan of action for @nftworldsNFT announced this weekend. Keep an eye on Discord / Twitter announcements.

Might build WNS over the weekend (WRLD Name Service). Giving anyone the ability to claim vanity addresses for the NFT Worlds ecosystem. Dibs on arkdev.wrld

We like the clones.

It’s kinda strange for the team & @nftworldsNFT to be quiet on development announcements for a week… Something big must be coming 🧐

👀

It begins. pcgamer.com/after-minecraft-…

Looks like $WRLD was listed on Coinex? 🤔

Gas optimization is kind of important 😬…

There may be less than 100 @nftworldsNFT listed for sale within the next 24 hours (only 154 listed now). 🤯

10/10 comfiest merch ever @nftworldsNFT

The blockchain and $WRLD payments layer for all NFT Worlds to be able to start developing & integrating $WRLD based payment/transfer systems and game logic supporting erc721, erc20 and other smart contract interactions will have a beta version released likely by this weekend.

Destroy all barriers to entry. No friction.

Player analytics data endpoints about to release. Stats dashboard for the entire NFT Worlds platform to follow. I think people are going to be surprised that we've already onboarded 50,000+ players, most of which had never used crypto prior and now seemlessly use $WRLD.

Another whitepaper for @nftworldsNFT is coming... and it's packed with alpha. 15 pages so far.

Looks like @nftworldsNFT is matching or exceeding one of the biggest metaverses (Decentraland) on any given day now as far as concurrent players goes. Soon to surpass and rocket away.

Gasless, fast, frictionless $WRLD payments for @nftworldsNFT in-game economy. Might be something.

Over 80% of all NFT Worlds have been staked.

ArkDev.wrld? 🤔

77.26% of all NFT Worlds have been staked! (7,726 Worlds)

Alright. I'm feeling like this poorly written smart contract that sucked $70M+ in unnecessary gas fees from innocent minters was done intentionally to push the narrative of their own chain and getting people to go for it. Wow. 🤦‍♂️ Am I wrong? Seems too coincidental.

Hey @Pixelmon can you launch an @nftworldsNFT where people catch, train and battle with Kevin's? That'd be awesome

On the @nftworldsNFT side I get a lot of credit.. but.. It's really important for me to redirect to the fact we have an incredibly talented engineering team behind the scenes bringing the new NFT Worlds to life. This would not be possible without them. Give them a big 👏

Metaverse. platform.

Eth 📉 we build Eth 📈 we build Why? Because we’ve never known anything else 🤷‍♂️ Building/creating for some is an identity and what makes us happy regardless of up/down side.

My timeline has been nothing but @nftworldsNFT related tweets the last few days 😅👀

Who can guess what we're releasing soon? Hint: No crypto friction for NFT Worlds players unfamiliar with crypto.

Will 2022 be the year of the $WRLD? 🤔

2,000 players online and playing across NFT Worlds right now. 😎 Unique projected MAU count is creeping up every day.

17 pages of alpha have landed.

Also, @nftworldsNFT has a team working on marketing planning & ramping up strategy as of 3 weeks ago. First marketing efforts start this month.

The @grayboysdao science lab is going to be nuts.

The @grayboysdao battle arena is at a constant 400 players with thousands constantly trying to connect to the currently full server (Intentionally capped at 400). More player spots will be opened up soon. Demand to play right now is insane, most are non-crypto Minecraft players.

LP-WRLD Staking.

I’m about to enter my 30’s. I thought it’d be a good time to reflect on the last decade and share a little bit more of my background with the web3 community. Below is a LONG thread on where I came from, what I've been through, and my story... A THREAD 🧵🧵

Would a ready to go, ultra gas optimized, templated & fully documented step-by-step NFT smart contract that allows minting with $WRLD token be of interest? I see a lot of projects starting to mint with $WRLD. This would be a super fast way to launch an NFT using $WRLD token.

Working on .WRLD name service. I'm thinking NFT World owners & genesis avatars holders will get to register a few .wrld domains for free upon release. Base price per .wrld domain will likely start at around ~1,000 $WRLD/yr registered. They will be tradeable as NFTs too.

We're excited about the future of @TOPIAgg (Formerly NFT Worlds). As we set out to be "The next Minecraft". Here's just a quick high level sneak peak of what you'll be able to expect from TOPIA. 🚀🚀🚀

Should we launch a P2E survival multiplayer world this month on @nftworldsNFT to showcase a glimpse of what NFT World owners will be able to do with P2E 🤔 P2E support/details for all worlds should be live before end of month or February at the latest I think.

Should @Temptranquil and I go to NFT NYC 2022 🤔

So, @nftworldsNFT, @grayboysdao and @NFTWorldsAvatar holders will get free .WRLD name mints when WRLD names launch. Holders get early access to register names they deem valuable. Public name registering will be 500 $WRLD / yr & auto swap eth to $WRLD if you don’t hold any.

Genesis Avatar whitelist passes are being airdropped tonight 🪂📦

Trading with $WRLD on OpenSea would be cool given how many projects have minted and directly use the token now 🤔

Anyways, if you made it this far I hope you learned a little bit or at least found this interesting!

Did you know you can ALREADY play in an NFT World from basically any device? (PC/Mac/Game Consoles/Smartphones/Tablets)

It begins.

Wow! Just past 10k followers, thanks all!

When GTA5 style role playing NFT World?

HYCHAIN Node Key Sale Is Live + My Thoughts You can mint them at nodes.hychain.com --- My Thoughts On HYCHAIN.. Before we start, I pose the question - What do you think it takes to build the largest platform for blockchain enabled games in the world? @HYCHAIN_GAMES is positioning to attempt to bring existing and in-development games with the largest potential for global adoption to web3 through our layer 2 chain powered by arbitrum's anytrust technology & our own proprietary infrastructure. Currently, @hytopia is set to be one of the largest titles on @HYCHAIN_GAMES, with over 1.2m player accounts currently pre-registered for our beta. To be clear, I'm one of the founders of @HYCHAIN_GAMES and @hytopia. We think that HYCHAIN has a shot, but no guarantee, to execute & be a top destination for games integrating some or many aspects of web3/blockchain. Before we dive into HYCHAIN's details... Context about our team & I's background feels relevant. A bit about me and my experience... I come from a 16+ year background of founding startups across the apps, games and ecom categories. I've been lucky enough to have 4 of these companies acquired in significant outcomes by publicly traded companies or private entities, with 3 of them I think being specifically relevant to building HYCHAIN. The main driver for these acquisitions has been building companies that position and achieve mass market share in emerging markets. For me this was the mobile apps, mobile games & social commerce spaces when they were first becoming a big deal. To do this, I had to learn how to relentlessly iterate and discover growth hacks for massive DAU/MAU/Revenue/Sales in these markets. 1. The apps business my team & I drove a portfolio of some of the top apps in the first few years of the Android / iOS app store, with 10's of millions of users across our titles at peak before being acquired. Learning growth hacking on $0 to minimal dollar budgets here was critical. 2. The game business my team & I grew from 0 to 15,000,000+ DAILY ACTIVE USERS in the first 2 weeks of launch. Figuring out how to hit key areas of demand, and more important create the mechanics that strongly retained players/users and created viral flywheels was critical. 3. The ecommerce business we built the first platform that allowed buying & selling of products at scale on FB and Instagram 100,000+ registered small/medium businesses globally. We processed many millions in sales volume. Learning sales funnels & incentive alignment was critical. --- I am always trying to learn and disprove myself, but I do believe these historical experiences of building companies in relevant markets aligns and gives perspective in being able to recognize how our team should prioritize to have a chance to out-execute all others trying to be the biggest chain for gaming. While I in no way think my opinions are always right, so many iterations leading to both failure and success have helped hone my senses of what could work and what won't. Lastly, I don't like talking about myself much unless necessary for context. 😅 I do want to share my thoughts of leaders in our team too. 🙏 1. @Temptranquil is a powerhouse with a bunch of parallel business experience from his upbringing, and cares deeply about making sure we operate as by the book for positioning us both legally, financially and strategically for long term success. 2. @levelheaded_94 although just recently joining, is an extremely proven operator already in the web3 space, having taken @IndiGG_DAO to one of the biggest web3 gaming guilds previously before it was acquired. They have lead the charge of HYCHAIN's non-technical aspects to date and execute with tact, precision and speed. 3. @jahvi and @0x_Something are some of the most down to earth and talented / dedicated full stack devs I've had the pleasure to work with. They both have extreme attention to detail, are very agile & fast, and produce very quality code - having all 3 being quite rare. 4. @DannPetty is bar none the best designer and design guru I have ever worked with. His work is top class, he nails absolutely everything he does, he is one of the chillest people I've worked with. He has an eye for flow, UX, details, ideas, and so much more. 5. @erodwrld has been with us for quite a while, we've thrown him head first into so many tasks and he's owned them and executed no matter what it is we put him against. He is resilient, hungry to learn & drive results, and deeply understands our community. 6. Matt (Who's twitter handle I can't find, lol) is an extremely talented self taught dev who we can put on any task and have high confidence of them executing in a very timely manner. No matter the challenge he owns it, contributes non-stop, brings the comedy and "gets shit done" 7. The next person, who I'll call J for now until we share them publicly later, is the best blockchain + solidity dev I have met. They've worked with the biggest web3 game platforms in the space, have been instrumental in system architecting, and drive much of HYCHAIN technicals 8. @wusticality who recently joined us and is our resident game engine extraordinaire brings 20+ years of game & engine development experience, understanding gameplay loops, engine fundamentals, and having built some of the largest mobile games ever on iOS. 9. This isn't the entirety of our team, and I want to be clear that everyone who's with us has proven themselves and their ability to execute, be agile and communicate and work strongly together as a team. Just a shout to our team & mods - none of this is possible without you. -- All of this I see as packaged into a tight knit, lean and efficiently operating machine with the relevant experience across parallel verticals of business to have a shot at building something magical. Now onto HYCHAIN... With HYCHAIN, we're focused on a few key areas to offer an overall vertically integrated stack for web3 gaming... 1. Developer tooling Convincing large web2 games, indie devs, and fantastic games to build in web3 is difficult, the lack of these dev's experience with existing low level tooling & writing smart contracts makes it even moreso. HYCHAIN's developer APIs stem from much of what we learned building trymetafab.com - intended to simplify otherwise complex, low level solidity systems for things like account abstraction, on chain game currencies, items, marketplaces, lootboxes, and more into simple, very well documented REST-based API's that any developer is familiar with using. This also means devs need to be able to trigger in-game transactions, player actions in a permissioned way through automated API interactions while retaining an overall decentralized implementation with how we've architected these systems. 2. Frictionless player UX Convincing millions of gamers to play a game is already incredibly difficult.. If you throw a barrier of them needing to manage their own wallet, tokens for gas, understanding transactions, and more, then you're fighting an even more uphill battle. HYCHAIN is building a set of interconnected systems that remove the need for players to directly manage their wallet, while still having full self-custody over their account keys that control their on-chain ERC4337 based wallet from our account abstraction wallet implementation. What this ultimately means for players, is that any game on HYCHAIN they can sign into using their HYPLAY account, which will support social login with Discord, Twitter/X, Google, Facebook and more. All their game tokens & assets exist under the singular account, and are strictly permissioned to the games they play through a simple point/click system pioneered by HYCHAIN. You can review our wallet implementation which unlocks things like recurring subscription, session based permissioning, and more here: github.com/HYCHAIN/wallet You can learn more about HYPLAY here: docs.hychain.com/docs/hychai… 3. High retention games & distribution Retention is key for games to succeed. When we look at potential partner games, our team uses their deep experience in vetting gameplay loops to identify ideal games that are likely to yield mass adoption & retention. We're focused exclusively on partnering games that can survive for years to come, and bring mass onboardings into the HYCHAIN ecosystem & HYPLAY player-facing systems. We're also building a massive web2 + web3 KOL & influencer network to aid in distribution of games. Last but not least, HYPLAY acts as a cross-pollination mechanism for players on other games within HYCHAIN to discover and easily play new games that come to HYCHAIN as well. 4. Cost efficiency at millions of players scale for games Expecting players to cover gas fees to play games is a big point of friction. Expecting developers to cover gas fees when they're dealing with hundreds of thousands to millions of active players is cost prohibitive, especially for mass adoption focused free to play games. HYCHAIN offloads this through our proprietary mechanisms that allows games to route player transaction through a gas subsidization RPC the HYCHAIN Foundation operates, completely covering the costs for players and games up front. HYCHAIN recoups tokens spent to cover transactions through fee structures for on-chain liquidity pools, marketplace, mints, fiat onramps, and more. 5. Liquidity interop across games Because all games on HYCHAIN operate their account systems through HYPLAY, players have a singular account containing all of their $USDC, game tokens and other game assets. Players should be able to use HYPLAY single sign on to play any game on HYCHAIN, if players want to purchase content or items from a current game they're playing, they should be able to use game tokens or game items they hold in their account from other games to get immediate liquidity to make purchase, in an automated way. This could give players a highly flexible way to interop across games, and gives developers access to an existing player ecosystem with liquidity at the ready to buy in-game content. 6. USDC based game marketplace This is the most significant unlock we see that blockchain brings that is otherwise not possible with other technologies. The ability for game items and marketplaces to be traded using USDC creates a historically first opportunity for game developers and publishers to also participate in the speculative nature of scarce game items and high-demand content traded amongst players. Realizing secondary royalties on trades as a continued revenue mechanism, and creating systems that further entrench players in the overall ecosystem. This has not been possible with prior technologies, because game developers would be responsible for custodying dollars and game items players own, with the former custodying of dollars putting them at risk with strict banking laws. Self-custody with on-chain wallets solves this, as the game publisher & platform have no control over player $USDC and player owned game content. CS:GO and many large MMORPGs to date prove significant opportunity here, where players have used 3rd party websites to trade and buy/sell items and content in USD. 7. Flywheels, everywhere As we continue to build out HYCHAIN, we're focused on creating continued flywheels to maximize player inbound, distribution opportunity for games, and more. We see this as critical to make the compounding effects to gain mass marketshare. 8. Our Chain Last but not least, HYCHAIN's blockchain is being built as a shared L2 where our future partner games will launch their on-chain systems, player accounts, and more. All underpinned and powered by Arbitrum's AnyTrust technology. ---- All of these key insights, and collective decades of relevant experience across the team, as well as how we've focused on continued execution internally across products like HYTOPIA & trymetafab.com makes me believe we have a shot at becoming a leading L2 and overall destination for web3 gaming. Whether we succeed or not, it's going to continue to be a wild ride🫡

We're continuing to push boundaries with the @grayboysdao proxy & all the various use cases for the tech. Here's a video of me using a proxied wallet to get granted Collab Land access to the BAYC members only Discord channels as if I owned the connected wallet & its p-key

There are thousands of free Minecraft-like games. But we’ve never seen any of them take off on a scale that rivals or comes close to Minecraft. Why? They don't have the 3 core elements required to scale at speed, sustainably. A thread on why we’re different. 🧵👇

I hope we're going to start seeing new projects move towards free mints in the next cycle of NFTs & using secondary sales for funding. Projects that succeed from there would eventually launch second collections as a paid mint after proving ability / project. Feels right 🤷‍♂️

World server status, player DAU tracking, analytics and other global NFT World platform tracking systems & dashboards coming online soon.

The metaverse platform that mainstreams play to earn by removing crypto friction & tying it into ENGAGING gameplay that keeps players playing even if there wasn't P2E. That platform is going to win. I think projects slapping P2E onto mediocre game experiences won't survive. 🤔
