I usually am very skeptical about crypto games, but after reading the medium article, it got my attention. I'll try it, since I kept some FTM and BRUSH tokens from a long time ago ...
Many in this sub love trashing on web3 gaming, often for good reasons. Most games encountered are not really web3 games, just traditional games with superficial NFT integrations or mediocre products in terms of gameplay quality. But that all changes now, introducing a game that has shifted the paradigms of web3 gaming: Fully Integrated Blockchain Gameplay: Unlike others, this game has anchored 100% of its gameplay logic in smart contracts. Efficient Idle Mechanics: Only one transaction is required per day, making it energy and time efficient. Complete Blockchain Integration: From an in-game shop, clans, quests, and everything in-between, it is all on the blockchain and represented as NFTs. High-Quality Experience: Developed by the esteemed PaintSwap marketplace team, the game boasts impeccable security and a beautiful aesthetic, especially for fans of classics like Runescape. The game utilizes the $BRUSH token on the Fantom blockchain, which isn't generated in-game. Instead, it circulates through player purchases, wishing well contributions and royalties of all item and player NFTs sold on marketplaces. Interestingly, a part of $BRUSH gets burnt, leading to a deflationary in-game economy. There are 15 skills each has a max level of 100 currently so there is years of gameplay to be had until you have reached the final level: Melee, Magic, Ranged, Defence, Health, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Fishing, Cooking, Mining, Smithing, Crafting, Thieving, Fletching, Alchemy From an extensive wiki, API docs for budding developers, and open-sourced contracts on GitHub, everything has been laid out for transparency and collaboration. Earn daily rewards every time you initiate a transaction, and enjoy additional bonuses for maintaining a 7-day streak. Hero's Chronicle: A dedicated journal tracks your hero's journey, wallet transactions, and global events. Leaderboards: A detailed ranking system highlights both overarching and specific skill achievements, allowing for character comparisons. Clan Alliances: Form clans to access special player bonuses and leverage communal banks for sharing and trading items. Treasure Marketplace: The in-game shop allows for swift purchases, from power boosts to essential items. Selling is effortless, with prices determined by the dynamic "Treasure" pool, which values items based on their scarcity. Epic Quests: Embark on 16 blockchain-based quests, reaping exclusive NFT items and XP rewards. Wishing Well: Participate in daily raffles for a chance to win power boosts, with every donation also granting a 5% XP bonus. There is a comprehensive wiki, api docs for devs to create their own frontends if they wish, all contracts are open-sourced as well and available on github. Why Web3 Gaming? Enhanced Security: The blockchains provide the security guarantees and DB storage, and you can't arbitrarily change that or retroactively manipulate any data. So as long as the smart contract code is secure there can be no game hacks and anyone can view the code and verify. Interoperability: Seamless integration with existing web3 platforms, such as NFT marketplaces, p2p trading, lending etc promoting decentralization. Economic Efficiency: Microtransactions without exorbitant costs. Longevity: Traditional game servers might shut down, but blockchain games persist as long as the network is active. Player Empowerment: Secure and easy player ownership transfers due to them being NFTs It’s hard to put into words how good this game is not only beautiful but balanced to perfection, you will just have to try it out yourself! Even better it’s compatible with all browsers on all devices (desktop/laptop/tablet/mobile) even low end ones. The best way to prepare is to create a beta hero on [https://beta.estfor.com](https://beta.estfor.com), play the tutorial, play around and get used to the interface and game mechanics. This beta version will be available in parallel for new feature testing and a completely new version of the game starts from scratch on the 25th August and will be available on the main site [https://estfor.com](https://estfor.com). TLDR; Experience a Runescape-inspired idle MMORPG entirely on the blockchain, accessible on all browsers. Dive in with a free to mint hero, take action & earn NFT rewards. Live launch on the 25th August at [https://estfor.com](https://estfor.com)
Yeh fair one. Well I can guarantee you this game will follow though :D you can already see the progress since it started in Jan this year. So in Estfor, minting a character is free (for easy onboarding), and only 1 transaction is required per day to queue actions for 24 hours due to a bunch of batching optimizations made. So it's easy to play and you don't have to spend a penny if you don't want to and all items are nfts too which can be directly liquidated in the shop based on the "Treasure" for $BRUSH, and also sold on secondary markets. There's on-chain clans, quests and all sorts, it's really quite advanced, I would advise that you check it out, it's coming out of beta very shortly
yea its my fav cchain, and paintswap (BRUSH) is the best NFT marketplace in fantom.
Paintswap (BRUSH) - its the most popular NFT market on Fantom, its like Velodrome for OP.
You are in luck! We have been working on an idle Runescape type game for the last few months called Estfor Kingdom. So it's not so much about grinding all day but thinking optimally how to spend your in-game time every day doing the tasks (fighting, woodcutting etc). It's 100% blockchain based though, but we bulk up actions so that it is only 1 transaction needed per day. Our twitter has the most updates [https://twitter.com/EstforKingdom](https://twitter.com/EstforKingdom) there's a few teaser videos there too. It will be playable on the Fantom network & uses $BRUSH as the in-game currency which is also the native coin of the NFT marketplace we built PaintSwap (#1 on Fantom), both apps have deflationary burn mechanics. In Estfor Kingdom you can also earn $BRUSH in-game from a pool of NFT royalties & items bought in the game from other players (e.g xp boosts). We plan to ship an alpha in a few weeks, let me know if you want to be available for alpha testing.
You should DCA where it makes sense. For example, on the Fantom Network there's an NFT sales project called PaintSwap ($BRUSH). I bought $100 worth at $0.10. Market crashed, it's now worth $0.012, just threw another $100 at it. It either goes back to $0.10 and I make 5x my investment, or I lose the $200 I could afford to lose. People think 90% drops are scary, and they are under certain common circumstances. But they're also opportunities.
I've been swing trading FTM - BRUSH on Paintswap in the last two months or so, and the return is much better than staking 
I want to load up more LQDR and BRUSH but they won't just go down. Smh
I am myself balls deep in the FTM ecosystem. LQDR, BRUSH, TOMB .
I lost 90% of my investment on BRUSH as it went from $0.23 to $0.023 (was yield farming it for 100% APY but still). Doubled down there, put some in their staking pool at 20% APY some more in the FTM-BRUSH farm at 100% APY, and.. well, it's been pretty good for me since it went back up to $0.23 and honestly I think it still has a lot higher to go
Fantom ecosystem has been doing extremely well lately. With LQDR now at 50$, BRUSH at 0,2$ and TOMB is now above the peg. I can't imagine how high they will go if FTM keeps on pumping.
Fantom ecosystem popping off. $KEK on a wild run, $BRUSH soon to join incentiviced xBOO pools on Spookyswap. Don't dump on us.
Why paintswap (BRUSH) skyrocketed suddenly?
Some of Fantom's ecosystem tokens are on crack lately. BRUSH almost touched 0,1, and LQDR is above $24. But TOMB looks like slowly losing its peg to FTM.
LQDR, TAROT, BRUSH and TSHARE are following FTM pump. Beautiful.
