Aavegotchi's Universe to Expand Following Recent Playtest

Pixelcraft Studios successfully rolled out its first public playtest for ‘Gotchi Guardians’, a new addition to the Aavegotchi ecosystem.

• Gotchi Guardians introduced a unique blend of tower defense mechanics and free-to-play elements, available on both Windows and Mac platforms.

• Aavegotchi’s universe has also expanded to include asset staking, land ownership, and blockchain gaming. Aavegotchis are the central characters.

• Promising a comprehensive Aavegotchi gaming experience that includes DeFi and NFT elements, the game leverages the Gotchichain and Polygon PoS chains.

• The Gotchi Guardians playtest, which came to an end yesterday, offered gamers a sneak peek and the chance to influence the game's development through feedback before its official launch.

The Rise of NFTs Amid Bitcoin and Ethereum Upticks

Recent trends indicate a potential end to the NFT winter, with significant price increases in collections like Pudgy Penguins, Mad Lads, and Milady Maker as Bitcoin and Ethereum surge.

• Ethereum's Pudgy Penguins collection sees a 74% jump in USD floor price and a 394% increase in trading volume, reaching nearly $7.5 million in sales.

• Pudgy Penguins extends its market reach with exclusive merchandise like the 'Influencer Box' available on Walmart.com, showcasing its growth beyond the digital space.

• Solana-based NFT collections, including Mad Lads, experience significant upswings, with Mad Lads' floor price soaring and leading daily NFT sales.

• Both Ethereum and Solana's NFT projects witness substantial growth, suggesting a broad recovery across the NFT market with notable spikes in floor prices and trading volumes.
