Imagine yourself playing an MMORPG farming NPCs and finishing quests, all to gain EXP and attain valuable items. You sell useless items and gather resources to purchase the ones that complement your character. Life is great. Zoom out, and zoom back into a web3 version of that. The gameplay is on a AAA level, however, your in-game NFT items are stuck and accumulating inside your wallet. To get rid of unwanted items, you have to find a seller. To acquire desired items, you have to find a buyer....

It is well known that the NFT market suffers from low matching efficiency due to NFTs being indivisible, having limited quantities, rarity differences (delta), and difficulty finding a uniform price. This leads to a big bid-ask spread and insufficient trading depth. Central limited order book marketplaces like Blur and NFT AMMs like Sudoswap aim to address this issue. However, SeaCows has the potential to be the ultimate solution for NFT liquidity provision in the Web3 world and can transform...

When asked about the household names of web3 gaming, you would expect to hear of Illuvium, Star Atlas, BigTime or GalaGames. Yet you might be surprised that none of them exhibit fully on-chain gameplay. One could even categorise them as web2.5 or NFT games. While this may initially sound provocative, true on-chain gaming is something completely different than you think.The premise of on-chain gamingImagine a game where the entire back end sits on the blockchain.

In our previous blog post, we dived into the usability of the SeaCows protocol. In this post, we dive into its potential for GameFi. In GameFi, NFT ownership is crucial, yet the play-to-earn experience is broken. High Illiquidity and low price transparency of in-game assets cause players to be hesitant to invest and trade in the game economy. Additionally, secondary NFT marketplaces with trading fees further undermine NFT ownership. Is this what the future of play-to-earn is supposed to look ...

Game studios are embracing web3 from different angles. Some focus on NFT ownership, to allow their players ultimate control of in-game assets.

Over the last year, we have been building a fast, gas-efficient and Gaming-focused NFT AMM product. While seeing some success and partnering with over 20 games, we recognised that the core pain point goes beyond gaming. NFT liquidity and pricing remain unsolved. With that, we have slightly adjusted our product vision. Starting from our current product, we are going to build a professional NFT trading platform that supports both NFT spot and perpetual futures trading.SeaCows General Product Ro...

Reimagining what a decentralised NFT marketplace should look like starts by considering NFT creators. They are the driving force, and it’s up to them to design and create unique IPs by which the entire industry is measured by. While current marketplaces provide a heavy, albeit necessary emphasis on the trading experience, a decentralised AMM (Automated Market Maker)-based NFT marketplace offers more independence and control to the creator. Follow along with our insights and thoughts about how...
