“My passion leading teams to enable transformation…will allow us to explore new mediums, dimensions and technology to effectively introduce CBH to a new, modern and experiential marketplace.” -Sebastian Brauer

What’s the Scoop?

Waters is now the company’s newly appointed EVP and sales director. She was formerly the company’s Chief Marketing Officer and her credentials match the high expectations. The company has now bestowed upon her in her new position. Other now elevated staff members will have their hands full with the company’s new directives and technological aspirations. They definitely want to reshape their stance on Metaverse.

In recent years, Crate and Barrel was one of the few companies that enjoyed a large increase in buying from consumers trapped in their houses by the pandemic. Now that they have made several changes to their product lines to accommodate a more tech-forward approach, they expect to have a few more upticks in sales around the corner.

In collaboration with Immutable X, Kinguin is launching its native token trading platform (NFT). Customers in the gaming and esports industries will have access to a huge variety of unique NFT offerings thanks to the fact that it features more than 40 collections and more than 200,000 different NFTs.

Built on the Immutable X protocol, the marketplace combines web2 familiarity with web3 independence and promise. Kinguin offers the trustworthiness and safety of well-established internet marketplaces.

Popular non-fiction trading card games including Gods Unchained, Guild of Guardians, PlanetQuest, and Habbo Hotel will all have NFTs on the market, with more to come in the coming months

Immutable X is a layer 2 scaling solution for NFTs on Ethereum created by Immutable and Starkware. Immutable’s deep expertise of blockchain technology, along with Starkware’s cutting-edge ZK-rollup technology, ensures that the Kinguin NFT Marketplace will be lightning fast and carbon-neutral, without sacrificing security.

The alliance gives developers and end users widespread adoption opportunities. When users combine Kinguin’s 13 million registered users with Immutable X’s scaling solution, they don’t have to lose asset security, transaction speed, gas prices, or NFT impact. This makes combining the gaming and NFT sectors more easier.

A search option makes buying and selling non-fungible tokens easy. MetaMask users can connect to the Kinguin NFT marketplace. Kinguin is a free hot wallet program and browser plugin. This new tool allows users to check their NFT balance, acquire NFTs, and deposit Ethereum for future purchases.

Robert Kalbarczyk, Kinguin’s COO and acting CEO, said, “We remain focused on our community’s interests and passions.” Given Play and Earn’s popularity, this was the next natural step. We’re thrilled to have partners who share our vision, and we’re excited to work with Immutable X to offer exclusive NFT gaming assets.

“We’re happy to welcome Kinguin’s 13 million users to Immutable’s open order book,” said Immutable Co-Founder Robbie Ferguson. “We look forward to enabling the next generation of mainstream gamers genuinely own their in-game products.”

Azuki, an NFT Collection Based on an Anime That Works Itself

You probably already know that there are plenty of NFT collections that have attempted to make a name for themselves by emulating the anime themes. A few projects would in fact go on to become quite popular in the NFT space since their inception. They enjoyed a lot of post-launch price sales, too, but none of them thus far have been able to keep up that arc of profitability since then. Azuki, however, has been able to keep up some of that post-launch hype that is so covented by creators. Some of that may be due to their creator, Arnold Tsang, who is of Overwatch fame. Azuki has become one of the few collections to reach a floor price of over 20 ether ($62,069).

The Hype

The style and aesthetically pleasing design of the Azuki collection has led some people to buy as much as they can purely for artistic reasons. However, there is a robust system of trade surrounding the tokenomics and the movement of the NFTs themselves. They are very popular and promise, by some standards of assessment, to be potentially very valuable going forward.

“During these formative times, it’s important that the community encourages creators to innovate and experiment,” Zagabond said in the blog post. “Additionally, each experiment comes with key learnings.”

From Twitter…

“Azuki starts with a collection of 10,000 avatars that give you membership access to The Garden: a corner of the internet where artists, builders, and web3 enthusiasts meet to create a decentralized future. Azuki holders receive access to exclusive drops, experiences, and more.”

The above statement is part of the reason so many people are clamoring to buy the BabyKongz, they can be used to create even more tokens and, by extension, even more passive income.

Cyber Kongz, An NFT Collection Of Wonder, Pixelated Beauty

The so-called profile-picture style of NFT has taken a lot of users by storm. From the BAYC and all its incarnations to the abstract beauty of the LaCollection site, NFTs have taken off and compelled many people to begin collecting them and all their several permutations. BAYC, after all, aren’t the only designers who are using this particular “ape-like” characteristic. Cyber Kongs, though not as popular, were on the scene a few months before the now legendary company with their own style.

King Cyber

CyberKongz is reported by trackers and journalists who are interested in the NFT space as the very first NFT collection that has any “utility.” What this means is that the NFTs themselves were the first to offer an additional benefit to purchase that wasn’t centered entirely on the possession of the art. Initially, the collection was no more than 1,000 “genesis” Kongz they were called. These put into circulation about 10 $BANANA, in-house crypto, every day day. If you owned 2 Kongz, for example, and 600 $BANANA, you could generate by mixing those NFTs to create a BabyKong.

After about a fortnight (see what I did there?), the Kongz were completely sold out. This is slow by today’s standards, as a matter of fact. However, the poplarity of this collection is due, in part, to their ability to creat epassive income for the owners. At the height of their current value, $BANANA tokens were selling for $20 each. A a matter of fact, we see that Genesis Kongz produce 10 tokens per day. Currently, the tokens are worth about $5 each, and this may change.

The Artistry and the fantasy….

“The BabyKongz don’t generate $BANANA tokens, but they sell for around $15,000 each.”

The above statement is part of the reason so many people are clamoring to buy the BabyKongz, they can be used to create even more tokens and, by extension, even more passive income.
