Arena Master can't drag you down

Arcane Merge

GamesPvP

Arcane Merge, a multiplayer puzzle game!

I can honestly say that I played only 10 games to complete the corresponding Hot Offer and didn’t enter again, plus I’ve now done a little research on the information in their official sources. “Match 3” games have been a “time killer” for a huge number of people of different ages for several decades. Therefore, I would be only glad if some cool game of this genre appeared that you could get your parents or other people unfamiliar with web3 and cryptocurrencies hooked on. However, Arena Master is definitely not that game. As far as I understand, you can only earn money here by getting into the TOP of the Grand Tournament, which most people won’t bother with. Secondly, the gameplay itself is quite primitive. There was a P2E game called Pagan Gods - the gameplay there was ten times better and more skill-oriented, and with the possibility of daily earnings, but even that died. Therefore, I simply do not believe that a competitor that is much worse in all respects will be able to show better results.Read More ››

Dmail - the new email era?

Dmail Network

UtilitiesTool

AI-powered decentralized messaging infra

Let's now discard the potential airdrop for those who are currently using dmail, accumulating points for various actions indicated on the "Points" page, and let's talk about the technology itself. Dmail is an on-chain Email tool with the function of web3 asset transfer, each Dmail mailbox corresponds to a private “canister”. Dmail guarantees the safety of user information, and forms the fundamental decentralized identity (DID). With Dmail, users can access information, assets and DApps securely and seamlessly. My opinion is that this is a super technology, thanks to which you don’t have to worry about leaking private information, which top companies will do at the first request, about security and accessibility - the wallet is created very quickly, and you don’t need anything else to send a free letter.Read More ››

Chainaware.ai - a controversial product

ChainAware.ai

AI-based fraud detection and segmentation

On the one hand, I really liked the check for the “purity” (trust) of any wallet. It is even possible if Chainaware becomes more popular, some projects will use this site and exclude "dirty" wallets from airdrop lists or similar things. And that's good. On the other hand, I really don’t like the internal “Crypto Credit Score” system, which they advise you to increase by indicating your LinkedIn and first and last names. I am not against measures being taken against scammers to prevent their activities or to catch them, but let's allow the rest - conscientious cryptoguys (who are the absolute majority) to remain anonymous within the reasonable limits that exist. And directly linking your full name and wallet to a service from which this information can be transferred to God knows whom - no, thank you.Read More ››

Pulsar - tracker that makes you rich

Pulsar Finance IconValidated
Pulsar Finance

DeFiWallet

The Most Complete Portfolio Tracker

Imagine my surprise when Pulsar Finance showed in my wallet almost $1000 more than I have. It turns out that it pulled the price out of thin air for some NFTs I had lying around (with 0 trading volume for these collections - just scam). That is, he takes the price not based on the previous sale, which would be logical, but simply from the cheapest price someone put up for sale. So, unfortunately, I don’t have any extra thousand that this tracker helped me find, but it’s only sadly misleading. Otherwise, not a bad tracker (checker): a cool diagram, a huge list of coins, even very low-liquid ones.Read More ››

ZetaChain is waiting the right moment

ZetaLabs

DeFiSwapping

A testbed for next gen omnichain dApps

It is difficult to say good or bad things when we are talking about a project/product that is in the testing stage. However, unlike many hype projects that began their development later but have already entered the mainnet (and none of them can be called successful), apparently ZetaChain is not going to repeat their mistakes. > To make sure they are 100% ready for mass loading; > To prepare the entire Zeta-network ecosystem in advance; > To wait for at least a mini-bull market to enter the mainnet. I think this is the right approach. If we are talking specifically about ZetaLabs, then during the year that I have been using it, very rarely have any problems arisen. This is great for testnet.Read More ››

I believe that such a social structure of shares/keys/tickets and whatever it is called is nothing more than a one-time hype trend. Of course there should be a "Fi" in SocialFi, but it should be implemented in much better ways. And such projects already exist. And the future will belong to them, not to Friend3 or numerous analogues (even though he himself is one).Read More ››

Metagods is another example of how not to make P2E games: - make complete pixel slag, next to which even dandy games look better; - sell a bunch of characters at the end of 2021 - beginning of 2022 at decent prices, and continue to churn them out creating huge inflation and depreciation; - public sale price $MGOFD - $0.045, current price - $0.00085.

NFT horse racing game & GameFi infrastructure

I remember the hype of NFT from DeRace in 2021, when thousands of dollars were given for “horses”. Do you know what the total prize pool is allocated for 2 months of autumn? 300$... Yes, the entire crypto industry is in a sad situation, yes, GameFi is in an even worse situation, but the fact is that this project definitely had money, and the last message mentioning DeRace in my tg crypto chats and channels, of which, without exaggeration, there are more than a hundred , dates back to December 2022, says a lot about the project. And as you understand, nothing good.Read More ››

A faucet that pleasantly surprised

Multicoin Faucet

Use our faucet to get tokens to keep exploring!

How often have you seen messages in all sorts of chats like “guys, please give some a little [name of token] for a commission at [network name]? I saw them often and now I know where to send them. Seeing that here you can get tokens on a truly main network, I didn’t believe it, but I checked and it’s really true. 3 important conditions: in the specified network you must have 0 native token, you must pass the captcha and post a tweet. And although very little comes in (in MATIC it came 0.015, which is less than a cent at the current exchange rate), this is actually the first time I’ve seen a faucet that gives tokens not on test networks. This is cool.Read More ››

THORSwap

ExchangesCEX

World's First Cross-Chain DEX Aggregator

Let's imagine that you want to exchange $ETH for $BTC on a DEX. What can you do? Typically this is an swap of $ETH to $WBTC. $WBTC is a token on the Ethereum network that is backed by real $BTC. Real $BTC is locked in the storage of the company that issues $WBTC. If something goes wrong with this storage, then your $WBTC will be at risk. Thanks to ThorSwap we can exchange native blockchain coins for each other in one click. That is, when making an swap through ThorSwap, we connect a Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet, and exchange native/real $ETH immediately for real/native $BTC. I think that ThorChain is the project that is definitely moving the crypto industry forward. And Trust Wallet seems to agree with me, as they have integrated ThorChain into their wallet!Read More ››

INTO - Web3 FBI Frankenstein

INTO IconValidated
INTO

Social MediaPlatform

Encrypted wallet, Web3 Social, AI-Assistance

Let me start right away with the fact that making it possible to use your platform only by in mobile devices is nonsense. On the contrary, first of all you need to think about the web version, so that you can log in from any device that has a browser, and then add convenient functionality for mobile applications. But okay, as it turned out, this is far from the worst thing: I, of course, downloaded the application and used it a little. Linking a phone number, trying to find out the location, the ability to find a wallet using the “phone book”, guys, are you really a social platform, and not the tax office or the FBI? Why did I call this Frankenstein in the title - attempts to cram in here the completion of some tasks, AI, staking, wallet, messenger and possibly a bunch of other things that I did not see - this may not be bad, but it should be implemented normally - not like in "INTO". And releasing own token for a very “crude” application as quickly as possible is another “red flag” for me.Read More ››

Arsenal - finally "game" in P2E
02 Oct 2023
Arsenal IconValidated
Arsenal

GamesPlay To Earn

A 3D First Person Shooter multiplayer

Arsenal is one of the few P2E games that attracted me with its graphics and unusual genre for P2E - shooter. I was not lazy, downloaded and played. To describe it briefly, this is a “shooter-meat grinder” in which from 4 to 6 players fighting against each other a small map, and after death they appear again in a random place. The game ends when a player scores 100 kills, and depending on the score, they are awarded a N-amount of WELT token. Apparently, you can buy a weapon for this token that will do more damage and possibly some protection, since after playing 2 games I realized that it’s not a matter of skill (when someone fires 2 shots at you and you die, but you hit him before that about 10 times). And in general, this P2E can at least really be called a “game”. However, there are a red flag that I don't like. In discord, I found a “withdrawal guide” according to which (in short) a player can withdraw a token only if: he earned 500, keeps 1000 in his wallet - that is, bought them (!), “Account must reach a certain level of maturity” and no there is absolutely no specificity about what this means (!!), and plus depends on some kind of “daily pool”. This can only be read in one way: “of course you play and spend a lot of your time, but it’s not a fact that you will be able to withdraw tokens.” You can't create conditions like that. For those who have no experience in shooters, I would definitely skip it, but if you have some good experience behind you, and you are just looking for a game that will not bring you a lot of money (at least for now for sure), but in which at least it's fun to play - then maybe it's a good choice. At least I earned 4 tokens in 2 games (about 15 minutes each), but I was in last place in both.Read More ››

GameZone - a shot in the dark

GameZone IconValidated
GameZone

GamesPlatform

Launchpad & Game Hub for players and investors.

One launchpad, which I already left a review for, hurt me financially. That's why though I didn’t use GameZone, I decided to approach it very responsibly and analyzed every project that had already been released on it. 1) MetaShooter - 12 days of trading in plus based on the chart on the Gate (trading pair excluded on MEX) I tried to find information about vesting, but I couldn’t (possibly because there wasn't it) 2) MetaFame - I don’t know how many percent tokens ivestors got at TGE, but there was definitely some kind of vesting. Listing was only on the DEXs and trading at x2-x3 for a couple of days - then it fell and fell. 3) Polysports - there is no information about unlocks, but it is traded only on pancakeswap, there is a chart on SMS, based on which from already first day the token is trading at a minus, and now it is trading minus 100 from IDO price. 4) MetaMate - MEXC excluded, so no graphs are visible, information about vesting I didn't found. On the DEX it is trading now at the near-zero level. Complete scam. 5) Outer Ring - price for IDO - 0.004 with TGE unlock 10% - was listed on Huobi and is still being traded, and for 6 whole days after listing the token cost more than 4 cents, that is, investors had the opportunity to fully recoup their investments only with 10%. Even now, six months later, the traded price is only 55% lower than the IDO price - 0.00185. The only good project. 6) Verve - the project’s Twitter is blocked, the last message in the telegram was in December 2022. The allocation was sold, but the token will apparently never be released. Result: out of 6 projects, only 2 or 3 could be a little, but profitable, and the rest ones is loosing money. Moreover, I had to look for information about the token and vesting myself on the websites/discords/telegrams of the projects themselves; I don’t understand how it is possible not to indicate this information ON THE LAUNCHPAD. After this analysis I will never invest here.Read More ››

PokerGo - hope for random + not all KYC

PokerGo Play IconValidated
PokerGo Play

GamesPlay To Earn

free-to-play Poker Game

I’m quite a fan of playing poker, especially when it comes to freeroll (that is, free to participate), but with cash/crypto rewards or other ones that provide some kind of bonuses. Therefore, PokerGo definitely interested me. However, P2E is implemented in a super strange way for me: there is a weekly reward pool, part of which is distributed to the winners of “lottery tickets”, the number of these lottery tickets depends on the chips you won that week. I have only one question - why? Winning poker over the long haul is a matter of skill, not luck, so why not just give rewards to a certain weekly TOP of players? But to make it so that top players who have spent a lot of time and effort have only a small chance of winning part of the prize pool by simply relying on luck is nonsense. I would also like to note that for the winners it will be necessary to pass the KYC and you must have a passport from the “correct” country. In short, decentralization and fairness are not about PokerGo Play, we don’t need that.Read More ››

Tonstarter started with a bad tone

Tonstarter IconValidated
Tonstarter

DeFiLaunchpad

The first launchpad based on TON

Tonstarter is another launchpad, only this time the uniqueness is that this is the first launchpad on the TON network, and, as I understand it, all projects will be related to the TON ecosystem. I honestly admit that today I decided not to research every upcoming or already released project on this launchpad, but to scroll down to the very first one, which is usually the most important, because it should be the “calling card” of the project. And I didn’t like what I saw at all. Firstly, the listing on the exchange took place several months after the tokens were сlaimed. It was not possible to find out how much it cost on the DEX during this time, but judging by some tg messages, it was lower than the IDO price, which was 0.02 cents. Having opened the chart for MEXC, I saw that in ALL the time the token was above 0.02 cents for only 3 days! That is, the investor could only make a profit if he sold all his tokens on any of these three days. "Great" calling card. I'm softening the rating to 3 stars because it was really hard to choose a worse time for the release of the project than the end of 2022. Plus, the TON ecosystem, judging by the latest changes in Telegram, will develop and become successful, and I am sure that in this case there will be much more successful projects on this launchpad.Read More ››

FlappyMoonBird

GamesNFTs

Bird-themed Game World

To be honest, I once spent many hours competing with friends in the original web2 game, which became the prototype for FlappyMoonBird - just "Flappy Bird". Therefore, when I saw that there was a game with the same mechanics that positioned itself as P2E, I went to play and study. Unfortunately, in an hour of playing I got 4 tokens (1 is worth a little more than a cent) only once in about 40 attempts. Moreover, the problem is that they fell to me at about 30 points, and almost all subsequent attempts were more than this result (maximum 52), but except for “fragments” nothing fell. In the game itself there is no information about how rewards are distributed. In discord, even through a search, this information does not appear. Moreover, to my surprise, the “announcements” are filled with information that they are making a completely different game, and I know firsthand that this does not lead to anything good for the first game. Local chats are empty, activity is near zero, the mood is depressed. So I'm glad I didn't see this game earlier, and didn't have time to spend many hours on it, only to now realize that it was most likely a waste of time.Read More ››

WePad - potential TOP-3 launchpad

WePad IconValidated
WePad

DeFiLaunchpad

The most dynamic IDO launchpad in 2023

I myself did not participate in this launchpad, but instead of my sensations and feelings, let me give the main thing for a project of this format - statistics of the latest IDOs with an already traded token: - Kryptonite. Sale Price: 0.0085 BUSD, unlocking on TGE - 20%. Current token price is 0.005977 - SophiaVerse. Sale Price: 0.03 BUSD, unlocking on TGE - 12.5%. Current price is 0.12. As you can see, one project is at a slight minus from the entry price, and the second gave x4. The only question is what the picture will be by the time of all the unlockings. In fact, the result is not bad for a bear market. I believe that if the hype on IDO returns, then WePad has a good chance of getting into the top 3 best launchpads.Read More ››

MadSlot Icon
MadSlot

NFTsCollections

A Web3 impression network

MadSlot is an NFT collection of the MadMen project, which was intended to increase earnings on the platform. And you could earn money (again, by design) by watching video ads. The idea is absolutely not innovative, but quite “working”. However, specifically for these guys, everything clearly didn’t go as planned: the site redirects to a domain service marked “Banner-Domain-IsExpired”, on Twitter the last post was on June 16 of this year, and on Discord only the early participant is active, who is trying to reaching out to the admins for several months now, but in vain. Even if the site is really under maintenance - that is, the Team has not abandoned the project, but is simply coming up with a new system, then they are obliged to keep the community informed (and they probably would have done so if they were really involved in the project). However, now everything looks as if the project died even before its full birth.Read More ››

Good bridge, but ethereum transactions..

Across Protocol IconValidated
Across Protocol

DeFiBridge

Cross-chain token bridge

I have repeatedly used it to transfer ETH from one network to another, as far as I remember there have never been any problems. It’s convenient that in the transaction history you can actually see ALL transactions - not for the only last six months or a year. However, if there are no serious disadvantages, I give all multichain-dexes or bridges 4 stars instead of 5 for one simple reason - the transaction in ETH-network (in this case, transferring ETH from the main network to any other one) is too expensive. It’s much more profitable for me to send ETH to Binance and withdraw from there on the desired network (and it supports quite a lot of them). This is probably stupid, since this is how the Ethereum blockchain works, but I have already started doing this and will not give up. Who knows, maybe someday I'll find a bridge/interchain dex that will somehow magically come up with a system for spending less money on fees. Well, to make the reason for 4 stars more “convincing,” I’m a little upset that I didn’t fall under the airdrop, even though I have a little less than 10 transactions in different periods since July 8, 2022.Read More ››
