MISTAKE COSTING $6,5M

On February 12, Limit Brake planned to surprise and attract viewers, but something went wrong. We wanted the best, but it turned out as always.

Limit Brake spent $6,5 million on a promotional video for the Super Bowl. However, the link in the QR code did not lead to the collection's mint, but to the CEO's Twitter profile.

The advertisement was supposed to attract users to the free NFT minute of the DigiDaigaku project. Despite what happened, some of the tokens were minced, but the trading volume of DigiDaigaku on OpenSea exceeded only 16,5 ETH (about $25).

In addition, it has spawned a large number of phishing sites, resulting in numerous thefts of digital assets.

DappRadar: Games are responsible for 48% of global blockchain activity

▫️We are talking about UAWs (unique active wallets) that make transactions. In January 2023, games accounted for 48% of blockchain activities. In December 2022, this figure was 45%.

▫️The total amount of UAW in blockchain games is still meager - 839 thousand.

▫️At the same time, despite the growth in the specific share of UAWs in games, their total number decreased by 0,89% compared to December. And the total number of UAWs fell by 9,55%.

BLUR GUIDE. WHAT IS BLUR NFT AGGREGATION UNIQUE?

Blur is the fastest growing NFT aggregator and marketplace on the Ethereum mainnet. It offers zero transaction fees and has launched its own $BLUR token.

Thanks to the release of the token and the announcement of retrodrops, users have an incentive to trade NFTs. They recently gave away another retrodrop to users for being active on the site.

Some users are reported to have received over $100k in account farming.

And the top 3 addresses received over $2M each:
– Biggest drop — 3,2M BLUR (~$0.75 at the time of writing)
– Second largest — 2,97 million BLUR;
- Third - 2,5 million BLUR.

Total distributed: 360 million tokens to users. This is ~10% supply or about $200M.

Current MC: $250M
Team MC target: $1bn
FDV: $2,28bn
Current DAU: 60000 before promotion: 15000 ~x4 growth.
MAU: 72000
Do not earn from commissions - 0%.
Total unique addresses in the NFT market: 1,2 million

It is not yet clear how successful this campaign will be, whether it will pay off and whether Blur will be able to push Opensea. Now Blur is actively investing in brand development and creating a moat with its unique UI/UX and zero commissions.

However, according to Looksrare's experience, retaining the audience after an airdrop is quite difficult if you do not have an effective strategy to further stimulate users.

The best practice in the market so far is an inverted funnel with a series of airdrops that creates newsworthy stories by attracting new users and keeping them for a long time, rather than a single airdrop, after which there are no new incentives. This strategy is followed by Blur. At the same time, the mechanics may differ depending on the goals and stage of the GTM strategy in the range FROM the development of a more mature community TO HYIP.

In addition, many crypto channels are focused on content with similar activities. Channels that broadcast alpha, and if the final reward exceeded expectations, grow in terms of performance. Including due to this, the virality of the project is also growing.
