REALMS | NEW PROJECT ON THE RADAR

While the market is quiet, the guys from Bibliotecha DAO, who come from the notorious NFT project Loot, are sawing a non-standard MMOCCG (Massively-Multiplayer On-Chain Composable Game) game that looks really close to web3 on-chain on StarkNet in a fantasy setting.

This is exactly the alternative branch of the development of crypto games, which is able to bring completely new and unique mechanics thanks to the blockchain, which can really be useful for the entire gaming industry.

The studio operates as a DAO and has raised nearly $4M through a community round on the blockchain, which also makes the project stand out from the thousands of other web3 mimics financed mostly by venture capital funds.

The experience in Loot clearly makes itself felt and there is a feeling that maybe the degenerates will really be able to create breakthrough games faster than the professionals from web2 will figure out the crypt?

It's ironic, but with a grain of truth. Cryptonatives are able to launch an alternative branch of cryptogaming development, in which the blockchain will play a key role. After FTX, this is especially true, while Web2 experimenters will try to take only monetization from Web3 and try to improve the KPI of their web3 game at the expense of web2, but in such projects the question is: Do you need token?

The fate of the project is very curious and I definitely add it to our reference box along with Dark Forest and Nine Chronicles and will follow #DYOR - not financial advice.
