Crypto Twitter’s new favorite game, Fantasy Top, gave top influencers $1.25 million worth of Ethereum to turn into NFT trading cards for a fantasy football-like experience.
Since launching on the Ethereum scaling network Blast a week ago, the game, which allows players to create a card lineup of their favorite Twitter (aka X) influencers and earn rewards based on that influencer’s social engagement, has taken the cryptocurrency by storm. I drove it into.
In-game “heroes” turned into cards include meme coin trader Ansem, DeGods creator Frank, and even Su Zhu, co-founder of collapsed cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital. (Disclosure: Rug Radio co-founder Farokh Sarmad, President of DASTAN combined parent company, including) decryptionAlso one of fantasy top “heroes”.)
Influencers receive a 1.5% commission based on card transaction volume and share 10% of total pack sale revenue. Now Fantasy Top has made its first payment and creators are getting their cash.
The top three first week earners were content creator Jenn Duong, followed by the aforementioned Ansem and Blast founder Pacman in a tie for second place. First place was awarded 6.7 ETH ($20,500), while the other two won 6.1 ETH ($18,700) each.
Ansem responded to the news by posting on Twitter: “First week earning $18,000, not too shabby.” “Fantasy Top is one of the cryptocurrency apps that can engage many Web2 creators.”
Fantasy Top’s scores are based on actual social media engagement from your lineup. On Sunday, it was revealed that Duong’s Twitter engagement was artificially inflated by a bot with degens trying to get better performance in-game. she publicly people criticized This temporarily made her Twitter account private while she sorted it out.
However, Fantasy Top said it is using anti-bot protection when it comes to scoring, and Duong has seen significant organic engagement due to video content around Fantasy Top and other Blast apps and protocols.
In addition to the 409 ETH ($1.25 million) paid out to heroes (300 ETH generated from pack sales and 109 ETH generated from the card marketplace), another 2,480 Blast Gold was also distributed to players.
It is not yet known how much Blast Gold will be worth, but cryptocurrency industry observers estimate it to be worth more than $10. That adds over $25,000 to your first week of gaming payouts. “Heroes” also earn FAN points, which could be a precursor to future token airdrops, but this is currently unclear.
Fantasy Top also said it plans to launch a feature that will allow influencer ‘heroes’ to share the rewards they earn with players who own the in-game cards, bringing a SocialFi component to the game. Some influencers have already confirmed plan to share the rewards With NFT holders.
