Uprising’s Genesis NFTs Sell Out Before Public Mint

Uprising's Genesis NFT collection debuted yesterday and sold out in two hours, bypassing the need for a public mint due to high demand during earlier stages.

  • The launch included three phases: a Guaranteed Mint, a Waitlist FCFS, and a Public Mint that was canceled after all NFTs were claimed early.

  • Uprising's network, backed by SEGA and Ubisoft and built on the Oasys blockchain, boosts blockchain gaming with a secure, gas-free environment that rewards players.

  • Genesis NFTs are game passes for future Web3 games on Uprising. They provide benefits like leaderboard bonuses and ‘Proof of Play Points’, with more utilities to come.

  • Genesis NFTs are now available on OpenSea at a ~$84 (0.032 ETH) floor price.

Confiction Labs Tackles Bots with ‘Proof of Exposure’

Confiction Labs launches ‘Proof of Exposure’ to combat bots and ensure genuine gamers access their NFT allowlist.

  • The process is part of an effort to verify and reward real users who want to be immersed in Confiction Labs’ gaming ecosystem.

  • Dedicated platform members can shape the game’s story and contribute user-generated content.

  • Additionally, XPSR-24 NFT holders can level up through quests for greater rewards and dynamic gameplay.

  • The system ensures only actual participants gain access by using APIs and data queries, addressing the web3 gaming bot problem.
