Pixelverse PIXFI Token Airdrop
Pixelverse, the Open Network-based NFT and gaming platform, launched its native token PIXFI through an airdrop on July 18. The project distributed 10% of its tokens to holders of its Rare, Epic, and Legendary NFT collections. This resulted in a nearly 50% increase in the token’s value within the first few hours of its launch.
The platform, known for the popular Telegram mini-game PixelTap, rewards users with tokens for playing and engaging with its ecosystem. During its initial launch, PixelTap attracted 50 million users, demonstrating the platform’s strong user base and engagement potential.
Challenges for NFT Adoption
Web3 professionals believe that the lack of new narratives, crypto’s reputational problems, and complex user experiences are key challenges the NFT space must overcome to reach mainstream adoption. Dave Catudal, co-founder of the social monetization platform Lyvely, emphasized that NFTs face a public relations problem rather than a technological one. Tyler Adams, CEO and co-founder of Web3 company COZ, mentioned that the actions of a few in the crypto community often affect the image of the entire space.
ApeCoin Holders Consider Bored Ape-Themed Hotel
A member of the ApeCoin DAO proposed launching a hotel in Bangkok using the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club collection as its theme. The proposal includes renovating an existing hotel with BAYC-themed rooms, an ApeCoin bar, and a swimming pool. The DAO member requested $356,000 in ApeCoin to complete the work and noted that apart from the design, ApeCoin holders will be given 50 nights of free accommodation, capped at one night per holder.
