‘𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗻𝗲𝗹’ 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝟳𝟱% 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗛𝗥𝗔𝗣 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 Neon Machine, the game development studio behind the hit blockchain shooter SHRAPNEL, has announced a significant adjustment to its #token unlock schedule. This move aims to prioritize the project's long-term sustainability and align token distribution with the #game's development roadmap. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵: According to Shrapnel COO Aaron Nonis, the revised schedule reflects a clearer vision for the product's development timeline. This ensures that token unlocks happen in sync with the introduction of new features and functionalities, maximizing the token's utility within the #Shrapnel ecosystem. 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 (𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘄): The revised schedule adopts a non-linear approach. Initially, fewer tokens will be unlocked, with the rate gradually increasing as the user base expands and the #SHRAP token's utility grows. This approach mitigates potential downward pressure on the token price by regulating the number of tokens entering the #market. 𝗪𝗵𝗼'𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱? The revised schedule applies to token unlocks originally planned for team members, advisors, seed token holders, and #strategic partners. The community reward pool and ecosystem fund remain unaffected. 𝗦𝗛𝗥𝗔𝗣 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: SHRAP, the native token of the Shrapnel ecosystem, serves multiple purposes within the game. #Players can use it for rewards in early access #competitions, purchase user-generated content like weapon skins, and participate in community governance. Currently, SHRAP sits at $0.29 with a market cap of $127 million. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Token unlock schedules are crucial for crypto investors, as they determine when additional tokens enter circulation. Increased supply can potentially lead to price #dips. Shrapnel's revised schedule aims to manage this by aligning token distribution with the project's growth #trajectory. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱: Shrapnel's early access version, a playable extraction-focused #multiplayer shooter, is currently available on #PC via the Epic Games Store. Neon Machine is actively building upon this foundation and using SHRAP for weekly competitions to bolster the early access experience. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Prominent #cryptoinfluencer Champ, an advisor to the Shrapnel team, sees the revised schedule as a positive step. He believes it aligns with Shrapnel's ambition to become a global gaming #franchise and fosters long-term sustainability for the SHRAP token and the overall Shrapnel ecosystem.

The current momentum shows that the web3 gaming sector continues to strengthen with significant innovation and growth opportunities. It's a fascinating time to be following these developments and seeing how they will shape the future of digital gaming. #web3gaming #blockchaingaming #gamingnews #gamingindustry

Is Ronin the web3 “game console”? Ronin is the chain operated by Sky Mavis, makers of Axie Infinity, which has a $1b NFT market cap and has done $60m in trading volume in the last month. Ronin is a permissioned chain - you have to be selected by Sky Mavis to be on it, and they are very selective. Ronin is not just a chain but has built a unique publishing capability - leveraging all those Ronin wallets, emails and the $900m in liquidity of its token, not to mention significant crossover cred between crypto degens and gamers to drive the success of handpicked games on their platform. The first game they did this with was Pixels, a social farming game. It had a few thousand daily actives and a $2m NFT market cap. After moving to Ronin, they have blown up to 400k daily actives and on Monday, Pixels dropped its new token which quickly generated $1b in trading volume. This surge is being called the “Ronin effect”. Yesterday, Ronin launched its second game - an action RPG based on Kaidro, a anime brand from writer Tim Hedrick, known for his work on “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Voltron: Legendary Defender, that has become very popular on Webtoons. Early days as with all things web3, but the reason I call this a web3 “console” is that Sky Mavis is more than just a publisher, Ronin is a platform. And like a console, it is selective about the titles on its platforms and focused on high caliber exclusives. Will be interesting to see where this goes…
