Aavegotchi’s GEIST L3
Takedown Legends
The Mystery Foundation
🗞️ NEWS
AAVEGOTCHI’S GEIST CHAIN
Aavegotchi introduced Geist, a new L3 built with Arbitrum Orbit, Base, and the Alchemy Platform
Geist won’t be an ordinary L3, but one where “membership is limited”. Anyone will be able to play games, but only members can earn rewards
This approach aims to combat the problems of the typical open network, where bad actors can create 1000s of bots to farm rewards
Membership rewards come in the form of airdrops, GAs, exclusive events, and more
To join you need to be an Aavegotchi NFT holder (1 Aavegotchi = 1 NFT) or you can be invited by having an “excellent on-chain history” after signing up and minting the new Geist OE
The Geist platform will include features such as a native NFT marketplace, CEX onramps, account abstraction, staking, and various tools for devs
TAKEDOWN LEGENDS
Takedown Legends (TL) is a new game by Fried Chicken Labs
It’s a mobile top-down shooter that uses MOBA mechanics (comparable to Brawl Stars). The game has been in development for 3 years now
TL has already accumulated 1.6M pre-registrations, 70K DAUs (the game is already launched locally), and is planning a global launch in Q4 ‘24
The game is “powered by” SNACK, a LATAM-based Web3 investing and building community, that’s backed by Animoca, Merit Circle, Mechanisms Capital, and others
They raised $7M on July 17 ‘24
This website also mentions SNACK is part of the Ronin Ecosystem, I am not sure if it’s true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were
MYSTERY FOUNDATION
The Mystery Society announced the creation of The Mystery Foundation (TMF), this means we can expect a token launch campaign soon
In this Tweet, TMF announced that: 50% of the supply will be allocated to the community, players can earn MYSTRY via quests and promoting the game, and the studio is working on multiple games
If you need a refresher on this game, here’s the rundown:
It’s a social deduction game with a Cluedo-like theme (think Among Us w/ more depth) for PC and mobile
Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Games (GBBT) is a studio with talent that worked at Disney (on Club Penguin) and Universal Studios
What’s interesting about this genre is that it makes for great streaming content. These types of socially-driven experiences have inherent virality to them, through RP and content
They are working on various experiments with Web2 Twitch streamers and creator drops through Watch2Earn
