People say shutting down Abstract is actually bullish for the Pudgy Penguins IP. I honestly can’t understand that. How can anyone trust a project that has lost people’s trust and abandoned its community? We already know that when faced with the same situation again, they’ll make the same choices. How are we supposed to trust a team that treats the efforts, loyalty, and love of people who stood by them and struggled alongside them for years as if they meant absolutely nothing? And they said they spent tens of millions of dollars. What exactly did they spend it on? Are they counting the money they earned as money they spent, too? I genuinely cannot wrap my head around this.

The Strat Season 1 points program has concluded with final distributions on September 24th. Season 1 was dedicated to early protocol users and SLP providers who helped battle test and improve Strat's underlying trading engine before prop trading was released. Your early support has been invaluable in building full-stack prop trading, which uniquely leverages our underlying exchange to offer the best terms across the prop market. Season 2 will take place in the future and centre on prop trading.

good to be back

🚨 한국 코인 시장은 죽어가고 있다. 국내 가상자산 거래소 영업이익이 전반기 대비 무려 78% 감소했습니다. 거래량도 줄고 예치금도 줄고 시가총액도 감소 단순히 코인 가격이 떨어졌다는 이야기가 아닙니다. 한국에서 코인 거래 자체를 하는 사람이 점점 줄고 있다는 게 핵심 더 재밌는 건 얼마 전 KBW까지 열렸다는 점. 예전에는 한국 시장이 크립토에서 무시 못 할 시장이었고 원화 상장 하나만으로도 가격이 크게 움직였습니다. 그런데 지금은 분위기가 완전히 달라졌습니다. KBW가 끝나도 시장 반응은 미지근하고 원화 상장 프리미엄도 예전 같지 않고 국내 거래소 실적까지 크게 꺾였습니다. 반대로 미국에서는 ETF, 스테이블코인, RWA, 주식 토큰화 등 기관 자금이 들어올 수 있는 판이 계속 커지고 있습니다. 결국 돈은 더 큰 유동성이 있는 곳으로 이동합니다. 한국이 다시 크립토 시장의 중심으로 돌아올 수 있을까요? 지금 데이터만 보면 생각보다 심각하게 봐야 할 시점 같습니다.

been waiting until things settled to talk more openly about @kamigotchiworld / @asph0d37 and where we're taking it as a new & focused cohort. 1/ web3 gaming is at its lowest point. most gamefi projects are effectively dead, and there are only a few survivors in the arena. most tokens down ~90%+ from peak. studio funding down 90%. plenty of games shut down and billions of dollars burned over the last ~5 years. extraction became the business model and founders/teams walked away with bags from 7-9 figure raises, leaving tokens to bleed to 0 and communities/investors holding the bag. the money has largely left for AI. 2/ and yet, through a long feature drought and internal strife, kamigotchi is still here. 1yr+ live, fully onchain. every action public and permanent. the world has never reset. it runs on yominet, our own appchain on @initia, which has stayed steady and gives us the chain-level control to keep building. a dedicated team remains, and we're here to turn the ship around. 3/ the plan, at a high level: → stabilize the economy → ship quality features and re-engage players old and new → position KW as a long-horizon benchmarking substrate for AI automation is already native: houses like kamibots and player-written strategies have become a real part of how the world is played. agents are the natural next step, and a few community members have already taken serious strides in pushing that angle forward. we have some exciting stuff to share in the coming week(s) in that regard 4/ deepmind's silver & sutton call it the "era of experience": the next leap in AI comes from agents learning from their own experience. persistent streams and rewards from real outcomes rather than human raters. that needs a world that never resets, with real stakes. we'd add one more requirement: provenance at the protocol level. every action publicly auditable, and any change to history would be visible to everyone, including changes by us. 5/ in may, google deepmind took a stake in the studio behind eve online to research exactly this: memory, continual learning, long-horizon planning in a player-driven world. their first experiments run on offline copies of eve, walled off from live players. 6/ why kamigotchi works as a substrate: → never resets. agents enter a world already shaped by every player before them → verifiable history. nobody needs to trust our servers or datasets → humans and agents on identical terms. no bot ladder, no sandbox copy → you have to learn what matters via complex economic gameplay → actions are transactions. you're testing planning, memory and long-horizon decision making → real stakes. in-game earnings convert to ETH, so an agent can, in principle, earn enough to pay for its own thinking 7/ we want it dynamic, punishing, and rewarding, a place where real game knowledge pays off the money left gaming for AI. we think the next chapter is where they meet. this is our shot at that intersection and i'll drop a discord link below if you want to come along for the ride. 🫡
