GameFi leading the charge for web3 adoption

If you thought it was NFTs that took centre stage in the last bull run, then it is shaping up for gamefi to lead the mass adoption revolution of web3 that everyone is eager to see.

In 2021 a huge amount of finance was raised for the crypto gaming industry. We are now seeing the fruits of that finance as more and more games and gaming blockchains are being released.

World Wrestling Entertainment NFTs debut on Panini Chain

The Panini Group was established over 50 years ago in Modena, Italy in 1961 and has subsidiaries throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America.

Panini is the International brand leader within the world of sticker and trading card collectables.

I remember as a kid getting my Panini football album and then every Saturday morning going to the shop with my pocket money to buy a pack of cards and hope that I got a card that I needed!

Even then, it got you to trade, as you would soon do swaps with your friends.

Now Panini has over 1,000 collection launches each year. It is also one of the leading publishers of children magazines and books, comics, manga and graphic novels in Europe and Latin America with over 7,000 publications yearly.

They also have NFT collections on their Blockchain.

Interestingly enough to get away from blockchain terminology they called the Marketplace the Public Auctions where you trade your legendary cards that you lucked on buying in your digital packs!

Football (or soccer) Basketball players were the obvious choices of Panini digital card collections well now there is another sport!

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is a global leader in sports entertainment and has announced its partnership with Panini blockchain, with the release of Blockchain Donruss Elite WWE digital card collection of WWE Superstars.

Of course, one great way to play games especially blockchain games is on your smartphone.

It is no surprise then that Aptos launches JamboPhone.

Aptos Foundation is an independent Layer 1 blockchain platform that focuses on safety and scalability driving growth. Jambo on the other hand is an African tech startup.

Aptos and Jambo share the same vision which is to make web 3 tech and crypto accessible to anyone despite their geographic location and economical situation.

At the heart of this collaboration is the introduction of the JamboPhone, an affordably priced smartphone designed to unlock the digital economy for users in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Priced at just $99 and already available in over 40 countries, the JamboPhone is more than a device; it's a bridge to the Aptos ecosystem, seamlessly integrated through pre-installed applications such as Petra, a leading Aptos-compatible wallet, and the Jambo App.

Solana Mobile's "chapter 2" smartphone his milestone

The announcement of the Jambo phone on Wednesday came hot on the heels of an announcement from Solana on Monday.

It took almost a year for the first Solana mobile phone to sell out, and that was only after it was made know that the units could contain tokens which could be worth more that the phone. In fact they were ebing sold on ebay and other autions sites for far more than the new pice if you had got hold of one.

Many people had written the Solana ecosystem off but it has come back firing on all cylinders!

So the news that Solana Mobile's "chapter 2" smartphone crossed a key threshold on Monday should come as no surprise.

It had previously set the 100,000 preorder milestone as a precondition to developing a second device. The surprise was that this milestone was hit in under a month!

With each preorder costing $450 USD there will be some unhappy crypto fans if there is no airdrop in the units when they are shipped.

Now with a $45 million warchest, the company plans to proceed and hopefully
deliver units to customers in early 2025.
