Flow Scavenger Hunt: Flowverse
What is the Flow blockchain?
Flow is one of the leading blockchains for the next generation of apps, NFTs, and games. It’s designed to scale in a way that doesn’t use sharding techniques, so transactions are fast and low-cost.
Most notably, Flow is focused on reducing the complexity that is seen in other blockchains. Take, for example, purchasing a CryptoKitty. Behind the scenes, that process can involve dozens of blockchain transactions. But on Flow, the same action is handled by one atomic transaction in a single block.
i make a dashboard and attach a screenshot showing off my wallet creation and write a few sentences about the top 3 projects in the Flowverse that my’re most excited about.
Below is the wallet made in DAPPER
In the following, I will explain about my three favorite projects in the FLOW blockchain
GigLabs connects premium brands with exciting user experiences by providing the tools to generate, mint, and sell NFTs. Their NFT Bridge acts as an entry point to the crypto ecosystem, offering all the capabilities needed to create, list, distribute, and display an NFT.
What makes this exciting project stand out is that brands are able to fully customise their NFT marketplace to meet the needs of their user base. For example, Athletes Unlimited launched an in-stadium NFT redemption via QR code for fans to purchase at USA’s softball team games; NASCAR released a first-of-its-kind NFT marketplace for race fans; and The University of Miami created its Canes Vault featuring commemorative tickets and digital championship rings telling the stories of the university’s student-athletes.
These are just a few of a growing list of partners using GigLabs to tailor their NFT offerings. As the NFT market continues to mature and new use cases emerge, the demand for custom NFTs will inevitably grow, and GigLabs will be a player to watch.
Chainmonsters is a free-to-play blockchain-based game with a player-driven economy in which players can capture, train, battle, trade, and breed characters (“Chainmons”). Users have the option to go through the game solo or link up with friends and other players in designated group quests to earn special rewards. Chainmon variations, environmental effects, mutations, and traits give each Chainmon its unique likeness — they’re NFTs after all, so each has its own identity. With over 70,000 registered just during closed Alpha, Chainmonsters is experiencing tremendous interest from crypto and mainstream players alike.
There are countless blockchain games on the market, but Chainmonsters is up there with the best of them due to its compelling in-game features. For example, the game uses temporal seasons which are the only periods that a specific NFT character series can be minted. After that, there are no other chances to collect these Chainmons. There are also certain rare Chainmons that are only available to players who breed specific characters together. All characters and items are created and exist on the Flow blockchain.
Chainmonsters is cross-platform compatible so players can log in and out of multiple accounts to continue playing on different devices or on-the-go. It’s also suitable for blockchain newbies since it doesn’t require an NFT or other token asset holdings to start playing. As of February 2022, the game is available in Closed Beta on iOS and Android.
Chainmonsters is a project to watch, both for its in-game features and for introducing people to the blockchain through what appears to the untrained eye to be a standard video game.
Dark country is a free-to-play, multi-chain NFT trading card game where users can collect cards to build lands, go on quests, and battle against other players. Cards in the game are NFTs that are owned by players and can be exchanged in-game or on secondary marketplaces.
Traditional trading card game players will notice Dark Country’s familiar feel. Inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Dark Country has all the spirit of physical card collecting with the added twist of being a digital, blockchain-based game.
Much like a cross-console compatible video game, users from various blockchains such as WAX are able to play the same game together. Additionally, each blockchain has its own perks: specific cards are reserved for Flow users, for example, giving special rewards and bonuses that you can only get on Flow.
By choosing to launch on the gaming platform Itch.io, Dark Country is attracting non-crypto native gamers into the NFT gaming world. Adding Flow as an in-game blockchain was a natural pairing, given Flow’s track record of introducing decentralised apps and blockchain-based products to non-crypto native users.
