即使在現今3A級作品橫行的年代，【像素風作品】依然是遊戲界的常青樹，無論是懷舊的情感，抑或是本質上的純粹，它始終煥發著獨有的價值和風采。

這個NFT項目的創作者『hidΞo』(@hideogenart)是一位生成藝術的藝術家，主要透過 ArtBlocks 這個平台上傳作品，而他在2021年主要創作的作品有三個：

其中賣得最好的是恐龍夥伴，目前累計的總交易量來到了2.5K ETH，最貴的一隻恐龍要價69.42ETH。

我們此次主要關注的項目 【Legends of Metaterra】(下述簡稱LoM)，是在2022年2月才發行的NFT項目，而這個項目後續的目標是推出一款【多人NFT遊戲】，遊戲風格的定位屬於古典奇幻RPG。

1. LoM是以Art Blocks作為誕生的NFT項目，屬於ERC-721類型的Token。它包含了1024個古典奇幻主題的角色，同時它也是一款即將推出的多人NFT遊戲，目前正處於開發階段。

2. NFT的形式是屬於動態的JavaScript圖片，它的運作模式類似這樣：

3. (點擊後可以顯示這個角色的各項數值和類型)

4. 它將是一款多人世界的動態RPG遊戲。當然在某些方面可能會有所變動，這個定位仍處於構思階段。

5. 玩家能夠使用自己的LoM角色，還有恐龍夥伴、天體旋風和機甲裝備 (以它們在遊戲內的替代型態)。

6. 沒錯！就是把創作者那些早期創作的NFT角色直接連動到新的NFT&Game上面。

7. 未來在遊戲內大概會長這樣：

8. 首先你需要到OpenSea上購置NFT角色。

9. 到LoM的官網點My Party，並連結你的Meta Mesk錢包。

10. 將角色導入到Party上面，點擊角色可以看到各項數據和技能。

11. ※每個隊伍(Party) 最多可以放置 3個LoM的NFT角色，以及1個 Summon Spell (恐龍夥伴/天體旋風/機甲裝備)。

12. 項目將會分階段發佈，第一個Alpha版本預計在2022年6月份發佈。

13. 創作者在Discord的QnA上面明確的說明這不是一個邊玩邊賺(P2E)的遊戲，目前也沒有顯著看到遊戲內有任何Earn的機制和Tokennomic模型。

14. 目前開發者是全職開發此項目，同時有一些自由業的合作者參與其中。

15. 很久以前，在遙遠的土地上，英勇的戰士們集結起來對抗黑暗生物。

16. 騎士(Knights)、法師(Mages)、野蠻人(Barbarians)、盜賊(Rogues)、機械行者(Automatas)和以太獸(Ethions)。每個職業都擁有他們自己獨特的特質(traits)和武器。

17. 此外，每個戰士都擁有一種元素力量，稱之為靈魂型態(Soul Type)，並且裝備著不同的物品來幫助他們進行冒險。

18. 騎士(Knight)：來自墮落的法拉努爾王國的英雄後裔，騎士們從一個城鎮到達另一個城鎮，尋找著一個又一個新的任務，並隨時保護弱者。他們堅定的道德原則引領著他們經歷著驚奇的冒險。

19. ※Falanur(法拉努爾)可能是創作者自己創作的字詞，與西方外語接近的字詞是法文 Flâneur，意指『無所事事地晃蕩、閒逛，在街頭張望著的漫遊之人』。

20. 法師(Mages)：古學者的成員，學習著如何引導殘存在這個世界上的魔法能量。法師能夠控制元素並且製造幻象。

21. 以太獸(Ethions)：曾經被認為已經滅絕的神話生物，但隨著突然增加的魔法能量，牠們似乎又回歸了。在傳說中被稱為森林和湖泊的保護者，以太獸將成為那些擁有純淨心靈之人們的忠誠夥伴。

22. ※ Ethion在英文上其實是一種叫”乙硫磷”的化學物質，帶有令人不愉快的硫磺氣味，是農藥和殺蟲劑的成分之一XD，這裡翻譯作”以太獸”是因為推測創作者是將Eth和Lion兩個字結合起來，以符合其意象。

23. 機械行者(Automatas)：由古代矮人文明所遺留下來的機械生物。沒有人能確切地知道它們的運作方式，但由於它們的重型裝甲和高強度耐力，它們將會是戰場上強大的盟友。

24. ※ Mata在英文或者其它西語系語言中我找不到特定的釋義，但在同音日文”また”是解釋成”又”、”再一次”的意思，創作者大概是想表現它具有一種機械生物的躁動感。至於為什麼會翻譯成【行者】，因為我查了所有Opensea上面同類型的NFT，全部都是雙足站立的型態，只是有一些是履帶，而相對於【獸】的四足著地，【行者】比較有擬人化意象感。

25. 盜賊(Rogues)：來自一個新生的隱者氏族的戰士，盜賊通常是扮演著雇傭兵和魔物獵人的職業角色。專業的刺客，戰鬥藝術大師，盜賊會為了合適的賞金去迎接新的挑戰。

26. 野蠻人(Barbarians)：一群來自東方的戰士，曾經被法拉努爾王國驅逐出境，但現在野蠻人們正試圖團結他們的部落來征服這片大陸。他們的武器也許看起來很原始，但他們在戰鬥中所展現的絕對力量和機智彌補了這個缺陷。

27. 每個戰士都有所屬的特定靈魂型態，這決定了他們控制某些元素的能力，以及他們對其它元素的弱點。

28. 火焰 ｜ 流水 ｜ 冰霜 ｜ 雷電

29. 森林 ｜ 大地 ｜ 金屬 ｜ 魔法

30. ＨＰ：生命值

31. ＭＰ：法力值

32. Attack：攻擊

33. Defense：防禦

34. Speed：速度 (目前還無法確定這個屬性實際上有什麼增幅)

35. Special：特殊 (目前還無法確定這個屬性實際上影響的是什麼)

36. 藥水 (Potion)：恢復少量的HP。

37. 超級藥水 (Super Potion)：恢復適量的HP。

38. 超越藥水 (Hyper Potion)：恢復大量的HP。

39. 以太 (Ether)：獲得能力，能夠施展一個能量耗盡的Moves技能。(但戰鬥機制仍不明朗)

40. 復活寶珠 (Revival Orb)：帶回一個昏倒的隊友。

41. 力量藥劑 (Strength Elixir)：暫時增加攻擊等級。

42. 金色獎章 (Gold Medallion)：增加持有者的特殊屬性。

43. 疾速之靴 (Haste Boots)：增加持有者的速度屬性。

44. 保護手鐲 (Protection Bracelet)：增加持有者的防禦等級。

45. 魁札爾之羽 (Quetzal Feather)：增加持有者的暴擊機率。

46. ※魁札爾(Quetzal)是瓜地馬拉的一種咬鵑科鳥類，主要生活在中美洲的山地雨林中。

47. 目前推測每個角色最多能夠攜帶【4個】物品

48. https://www.artblocks.io/token/253001019

49. *在Art Blocks平台上你可以查詢到這個NFT角色的屬性和各項數值的稀有度。

50. 在這個角色畫面中提到的Moves技能，可能就是每個NFT角色的專屬技能。

51. 目前推測是類似回合制的RPG戰鬥，並且沒有計時條和自動攻擊的機制。

52. 目前無法用規律來判斷NFT角色的價值，主要判斷的亮點可能都還是在[外型的獨特性]，但由於這些角色一開始的訂製目標就有[靈魂型態]和[屬性]的相生相剋設定，以及攜帶的藥水/物品增益等差異，未來一旦遊戲運營，可能會因為這個設定而導致角色的價值來一波重新洗盤。

53. 懷舊的象素古典奇幻角色和遊戲風格能吸引特定族群玩家，而正好這群玩家可能是目前相對有經濟能力去進行NFT收藏的群體，依照目前在OpenSea上面的交易曲線和價格，如果遊戲一旦成形，並且遊戲機制足夠吸引足夠數量的群體，NFT的價格可能還有很大的爆發潛力。

54. 遊戲機制上面還有很多缺陷尚待補齊，比如：

55. 創作者近期於 2022/3/3 在Discord上面公告已經著手鑄造了一個 [ Legends of Metaterra ] 的ERC-20 Token 要針對NFT持有者進行空投，而每個持有他NFT的地址將會依照NFT的類型獲得對應數量的Token，而這些新的代幣可以用來作為他在 Art Blocks 上新創作的消費代幣。

56. https://etherscan.io/token/0x79592dcfd7dd0ba5c7b1faed25dfed61e8664ef9

57. ※空投預計會在 2022/3/9 10pm ET/ 9pm CT 發送

58. 依照這樣的操作，目前推斷創作者可能是想要走藝術家路線，始終不讓代幣與遊戲機制連動，或許目的是想讓它成為一款在NFT Game上[勇者鬥惡龍]之流的【永恆經典小品】，而未來只需要專注在【藝術創作】這件事情上。

59. 也許這樣的堅持並不會讓這個項目變成像Axie Infinity那樣的十倍百倍的項目，但對於【骨灰級玩家】來說，這類永恆經典小品永遠都會是在週末良夜裡搭配啤酒和消夜的最佳夥伴，並且能讓你渡過一段純粹而美好的時光。

Without more to say dear Chickens. We close this post saying that we appreciate you joining us on this trip. We’ll see which rooster cackles better!

Fantom has experienced a massive influx of new users over the past calendar year, surging from a price of $0.0258 on January 4th 2021, to reaching an all time high of $3.48 on October 28th. That’s a whopping increase of about 13,488%. At the time of writing, Fantom is valued at $2.43, sitting 29.9% below its ATH. The number of unique wallet addresses has also grown massively, from about 10 million last year, to almost 60 million at present. Fantom has certainly had an excellent 2021.

Fantom was founded by South Korean computer scientist Dr. Ahn Byung Ik and Matthew Hur, who sought to provide an alternative solution to some of blockchains’ existing problems, namely their ability to scale. The Fantom Foundation is the parent company of the Fantom blockchain. Its current CEO is Michael Kong, while Andre Conje, a well known internet crypto personality, sits as chairman.

How does it work?

So we know that Fantom is fast, affordable, and scalable, but how does it work? Fantom’s consensus mechanism, Lachesis, is an Asynchronous byzantine fault tolerance (aBFT) mechanism. Byzantine Fault Tolerance is a mechanism that enables a decentralized, trustless network to function even in the presence of malfunctioning or malicious nodes. As long as two-thirds of the network remains compliant, the network will continue to operate. Compared to Classical and Nakamoto consensus, Lachesis is a ‘faster, more scalable, and more secure choice’.

Fantom’s native token, FTM, is a proof-of-stake (PoS) token. This means that in order to secure the network users can delegate their FTM to stake, which helps validate blocks in the network. Therefore users who choose to delegate FTM are actively participating in maintaining and upholding the network.

What value does it bring to the table?

When assessing the utility of the Fantom token, and what value it brings to would be investors, the first things we might point out are the low gas, or transaction fees, involved, and the speed at which transactions are validated.

An often overlooked part of the Fantom ecosystem is the dApps (decentralised apps) that are built on the network. Fantom’s defi ecosystem shows signs of promise with several dexs (decentralised exchanges) present, while there are also numerous staking and liquidity lending protocols. These protocols can often appear very lucrative to investors looking to grow their crypto in a passive manner. Tomb Finance is an excellent example of this.

You may notice that many of Fantom’s dapps are ghoulishly or morbidly themed. Spookyswap, Tomb Finance, Grim Finance and Spiritswap are just a few of the spooky themed applications built on the Fantom network. This theme adds a touch of playfulness and fun to these defi activities, and sets this ecosystem apart from many of the currently existing yield farming and dex protocols.

Fantom also offers real world solutions. The Fantom Foundation has partnered with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with the goal of improving digital infrastructure and bringing their respective financial systems into the modern digital age. These projects are exciting as they show that Fantom has legitimacy, while the number of Fantom users will no doubt grow as a result of adoption in these countries.

Are there any risks?

While Fantom no doubt looks like an excellent project that is moving somewhat under the radar, we must always consider potential risks, limitations and weaknesses in any blockchain application. Despite sound on-chain security, some of Fantom’s defi protocols have suffered from hacks and mishaps. On the 19th of December 2021, Grim Finance was hacked with about $30 million worth of staked value stolen. Faults in the vault contract were exploited, so that anyone who had deposited tokens into the protocol at any point was vulnerable to their funds being stolen. A combination of human error and negligence was at play here, as developers failed to flag the potential weaknesses in the protocol’s security. Similarly, Tomb Finance lost about $8–10 million worth in funds, however denied that this was a hack. The Tomb developer team claimed that there was a gatekeeping error that in turn caused a massive sell off of funds, causing a massive devaluation.

These occurrences certainly serve a stark warning for would be investors who are looking to grow their holdings via Fantom’s DeFi ecosystem. While there is certainly high reward, there exists the duality of high risk as well.

Conclusions

Fantom is a promising layer 1 network that offers a growing defi ecosystem and a strong community. The blockchain’s speed and low costs make it appealing to those seeking to find alternatives to Ethereum, while the token’s market performance over the past year makes a compelling case for would be investors. Fantom offers investors the chance to grow their wealth via an appreciating asset, while also offering passive avenues to further grow. 2022 will be a year where we certainly keep a close eye on this project, with big things expected to come.

SRX Protocol for Auto StakingBet before departure, peg in your wallet, peg everywhere. The SRX token is at the heart of the Sorex Autostaking Protocol, the New Generation Defi with the Highest Fixed Annual Percentage Yield, periodically rewarded and the first of its kind — a pre-delivered get-hold-procure framework that grows your portfolio prior to departure at a fixed rate of 2.11 percent daily or 204,036.60 percent per year holding SRX.

Independence from InvestmentSOREX follows the PLAN framework to ensure that all financial backers are satisfied. The basic difference between PLANs is the limit of speculation on each emphasis, which increases with each PLAN. There are two ways to enter the SOREX speculation stage: by holding SRX or by making annual payments. The expected number of tokens for each PLAN is recalculated in real time to match the fiat cost of each PLAN. This means that if the token price increases, any client could theoretically accept the following PLAN as the expected tokens decrease. Contrary to the norm, clients cannot deduct PLAN due to changes in token fees as long as they don’t sell tokens.

How Does the PLAN System Work?By choosing one of the offered PLANs, you are investing in an exchange of resources in the context of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Neural Networks. This tendon allows us to maintain a consistent ROI over a long period of time.
