Amidst growing interest in crypto adoption in gaming, this incubator and launchpad helps players make money
A new intersection of passion and blockchain -- gaming and crypto – is getting momentum in traditional worlds where gamers played, bought skins, lost them to the game, and spent hours online with nothing to show at the end of the day.
Early blockchain adopters such as the OPSkins platform recognized the need to provide true ownership of digital items, which later morphed in the WAX platform and a full-on service for nonfungible tokens (NFTs) in the form of collectibles, graphic art, and increasingly items to be used within games and across platforms.
Splinterlands was one of the first blockchain-based offerings using the popular HIVE blockchain (formerly Steemit) and has since moved into digital land ownership. Upland and Uplift World have also taken the gamification model and use NFTs to secure digital land ownership and transfer value between players, often in the form of rents, monopoly style. Read More

With borderless stablecoins, this decentralized financial platform aims to create a user-friendly experience for lenders and borrowers
Loans may appear out of reach, but with this project, users can gain access to on-demand liquidity without the otherwise daunting experience.
After facing bankruptcy, recovering from a low credit score, or attempting to start a new business, many have found out just how difficult it can be to take out a loan from the bank. As a result, lending is said to have become increasingly inaccessible. Combatting this concern are decentralized finance (DeFi) loans, which have continued to gain in popularity. A DeFi loan eliminates the need for banks and complex asset valuations. Instead, a decentralized exchange (DEX) may take cryptocurrencies as collateral at their market exchange rate.
The only thing holding DeFi loans back from more widespread adoption is the extent of diversity in the crypto and financial space. With each network being set up differently, novice users have found the world of DeFi to be daunting. For this reason, a cross-chain solution with an easy-to-use interface is needed. Read More
This community-led cross-chain launchpad plans to democratize the process of DeFi funding
A decentralized cross-chain launchpad aims to give retail investors real skin in the game of Initial DEX Offerings.
As promising as the notion of subscribing to an initial decentralized exchange offering (IDO) is at first glance, there is always more than meets the eye.

By creating a democratic platform that puts more tokens in the hands of their investors, GPool aims to create a scenario where retail investors can truly be seed investors. Read More
