<h2>Anvil and Infinity Rising Announce Strategic Partnership to Power the Future of Web3 Gaming</h2>1/29/2026 Anvil and Infinity Rising today announced a strategic partnership aimed at building seamless, player-first Web3 infrastructure for mainstream games. The collaboration will focus on invisible blockchain integration, intuitive onboarding, and scalable systems that support true digital ownership without disrupting gameplayOverview Today, we’re excited to share a partnership that has been years in the making - one that feels less like a deal and more like a natural alignment of how games&nbsp;should be built.When you’re truly passionate about something, you don’t just talk about what’s possible - you go build it.Over the past four years, Anvil has done exactly that. Rather than speculate about what blockchain&nbsp;could do, Anvil focused on learning what it&nbsp;should do - and more importantly, how to make it invisible when it needs to be. That journey led to a deep understanding of where this technology actually shines.One of those places? Video games.“This partnership comes with a mutual understanding of one thing; we want to build products for the future of gaming that are disruptive and centered around the end user. Experience is our number one priority. We can't wait to get started!" -Zack (Cash) CEO of Anvil”Infinity Rising shares that same instinct: players should feel immersion, progression, and ownership - not friction, wallets, or technical overhead. Together, Anvil and Infinity Rising are aligned around a simple belief:If players have to think about the blockchain, we’ve already failed.“Just as many of us don’t understand how the internet works exactly, we know how to use it for the ultimate utility.&nbsp; Same goes for gamers, they don’t have to understand blockchain as long as they easily and seamlessly experience the increased value associated with true ownership of their in game assets” Says Josh Jones, Co-CEO of Infinity Rising.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Shared Vision</h3>Anvil and Infinity Rising believe the next generation of games will quietly benefit from decentralized infrastructure without forcing players to learn new mental models.Ownership should feel natural. Trading should feel expected. Progression should feel earned.Not bolted on. Not confusing. Not gated behind technical knowledge.This partnership is built on the idea that infrastructure should fade into the background while player experience moves to the foreground. The goal is to create systems that support digital ownership, in-game economies, and player-driven value in ways that feel native to gameplay - not like an external layer stitched on after the fact.<h3>Partnership Focus</h3>Anvil and Infinity Rising intend to collaborate across multiple dimensions of Web3-enabled game infrastructure. Infinity Rising brings a game-first perspective and real-world player ecosystems, while Anvil contributes deep expertise in blockchain systems, wallet architecture, and transaction-layer design.Together, the teams will explore long-term collaboration around:<ul><li>Seamless onboarding experiences for mainstream gamers</li><li>Intuitive in-game transaction and signing flows</li><li>Asset ownership and movement between game environments</li><li>Reusable, scalable infrastructure that can support multiple titles</li></ul>Infinity Rising will act as an early launch partner and design collaborator, ensuring that everything built is grounded in real gameplay needs - not theoretical use cases.“Partnering with Anvil helps us accelerate key web technology and blockchain integration work. Their proven track record in delivering quality products gives us confidence in this collaboration, freeing up our team's resources to focus more on core game development” says Rob Greig, Co-CEO of Infinity Rising.&nbsp;<h3>Looking Ahead</h3>This partnership is designed to be collaborative, product-driven, and long-term in nature. As the relationship evolves, Anvil and Infinity Rising anticipate exploring deeper alignment around shared technology, intellectual property, and distribution of future tooling across additional games and ecosystems.For now, the focus is simple: build the right foundations, the right way, with the player experience leading every decision.“As an avid gamer, blockchain integration makes so much sense. The problem is that people, especially gamers, have written off blockchain without understanding the value. Together, we can create something truly unique, that showcases blockchains' strong suites without being overbearing on users." -Zack (Cash) CEO of AnvilBecause the future of gaming won’t be defined by louder technology - it’ll be defined by technology that finally knows when to stay quiet.BoilersAbout Anvil:&nbsp;Anvil is a web3 infrastructure company focused on making blockchain useful without making it visible. Rather than chasing hype, Anvil builds production-read systems that power real applications - from digital asset minting and transaction infrastructure to wallet experiences and scalable backend tooling.&nbsp;With years of hands-on experience solving real implementation challenges, Anvil specializes in turning complex blockchain mechanics into seamless user experiences. Anvil partners with product teams who care more about what users feel than what technology stack sits underneath.Anvil’s mission is simple: build the rails that let innovation move - and make sure no one has to think about the rails while they ride.&nbsp;About Infinity Rising:&nbsp; Infinity Rising is an open‑world, multi-verse simulation between a floating civilization in the sky — and Earth below. Players traverse both worlds to explore, gather, craft, build bases and land plots, trade in a player‑driven economy, and respond to rift‑related events and Terra through PvE. Survival and upkeep systems influence pace and markets, while casual and social play—farming, gardening, base building, and co‑ops—stands alongside combat as a first‑class path to progress. With a vibrant 1960s retro‑futurist art direction and a “play your pace” philosophy, Infinity Rising turns individual action into shared momentum.

2025: Year in Review - Epic Ascent

Welcome to Infinity Rising

Land plots are the production backbone of Cornucopias. They unlock high‑tier crafting (tiers 4–5), enable scaled resource operations (factory scale), support rental income, and tap into seasonal reward pools. Apartments serve the masses and tap into the creative side with the highly detailed building system;&nbsp;land is built for producers, guilds, and traders who want to shape local economies and capture yield. For the casual player, land also suits a slower pace of play with gardening and farming, or simply raising your livestock.<ul><li>Own late‑game crafting. Crafting tiers 4–5 require land; apartments cap at tiers 1–3.</li><li>Run real production. Build workshops, farms, shops, and utilities; use&nbsp;raw ore or material through Blueprints to craft, upgrade, and sell.</li><li>Capture seasonal rewards. End‑of‑season land level determines your claim from a fixed rewards pool.</li><li>Specialize your operation. Hotelier, Farming, Metal/Woodworking, Masonry, Cooking, Mechanics, Electronics, Science, Agriculture/Botany, Artisan/Textiles, and more.</li><li>Scarce by design. Limited plots per town and per zone create natural scarcity and resale value. Land plots are 100% unique to you. Access to your plot can be private (only you) or publicly available to those you allow to have access.</li></ul>Positioning note: Apartments are free for all players unless choosing to upgrade to larger, premium units. Plots are intentionally scarce and aimed at ~1–2% who want to run at economic scale.<h2>Role of Land in the Game</h2><ul><li>Economic engine: Convert&nbsp;raw ore or material into refined goods and move product at scale; land anchors town and district economies.</li><li>Seasonal progression: 13‑week seasons. Land levels reset each season; your final level sets your reward percentage.</li><li>Community impact: Coordinated land activity upgrades districts and improves shared infrastructure and safety zones.</li><li>Field base &amp; storage: Use your plot for storing gear, ore, materials, etc., so you don’t need to trek back to an apartment mid‑loop.</li><li>Rest &amp; recovery: Design intent is for land buildings to provide&nbsp;sleep/rest functions to&nbsp;restore avatar health and serve as a&nbsp;restart/respawn location.</li><li>Persistent infrastructure: Land is treated as&nbsp;key infrastructure intended to be&nbsp;persistent across sessions/servers, with owner‑placed objects bound to the deed.</li></ul><h2>What Players Can Do on Land</h2><ul><li>Build &amp; upgrade: Build with pre-fab meshes to construct houses, workshops, farms, merchant spaces, and utility buildings. Some objects need upkeep; some can be dismantled to reclaim materials;&nbsp;all transfer with the deed on sale.</li><li>Source &amp; process: Gather&nbsp;raw ore or material yourself or buy locally, then craft and sell outputs to players or NPC merchants.</li><li>Specialize operations: Lean into a role (e.g., Hotelier or Farming) to differentiate margins and attract tenants/customers.</li><li>Host tenants: Set access permissions, rent rooms by day/week/season, and increase foot traffic and XP on your plot.</li></ul><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:6662/3748;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/3QOiL1rMRM21Ke1OjTNy" width="6662" height="3748"></figure><h2>Crafting Opportunities on Land (WIP)</h2>Scope: Examples below reflect in‑progress design.

Why Own Land? 

<h1>How It Works</h1><h2>What you need before you start</h2><ul><li>Hold your Land Claim NFTs in your connected wallets. That’s the only way to participate.&nbsp;</li><li>Verify your inventory. In your player account (logged in), go to&nbsp;Your Assets and filter by&nbsp;“Land Claim…” to double-check you’ve got the claims you intend to use.</li><li>Use Favorites on the map.

Solace Land Grab - Everything You Need to Know

<h1>Cornucopias February Update: A Month of Breakthroughs and Innovations</h1><h2>Introduction</h2>February has been one of the most exciting months we’ve ever experienced at Cornucopias. With deliverables coming to fruition and groundbreaking developments on the horizon, our momentum heading into 2025 is already snowballing into something massive.<h2>Major Developments</h2><h3>SuperVerse Partnership</h3>In November, we established a partnership with SuperVerse—a collaboration we have been extremely eager to unveil. The SuperVerse ecosystem sets the highest standard in Web3 gaming, boasting longstanding partnerships with Off the Grid, Metacade, Wilder World, Nyan Heroes, and more. With an outstanding reputation for collaborating with the best gaming projects in blockchain, we are thrilled to join the ranks of the elite.This collaboration will enable us to integrate real-world brands into the Cornucopias universe in innovative ways. Expect features like customizable in-game structures, high-quality in-game advertisements, and special branded game assets purchasable with $SUPER.<h3>Weapons Development</h3>In February, we began dropping teasers about our evolving weapons system. Although we’ve only revealed a fraction of what we’re working on, our community is buzzing with anticipation for what’s to come. Soon, we will share more details about various weapon types, models, functionalities, and the intricacies of our comprehensive combat system.In the next build, we plan to introduce a fully functional shooting range where players can test different weapons and determine which ones suit their playstyles best. This feature will include a leaderboard, adding an early layer of competition to this exciting new gameplay mechanic. We’re confident that gamers will be eager to explore this feature in the new Calido Pavillion area, known as the Glimpse of Esperanza. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfTQS8Lij8"></oembed></figure><h2>Art in the Multiverse</h2><h3>Glimpse of Esperanza</h3>Our community has been eagerly awaiting the release of our next major in-game biome dome, Esperanza. This ambitious project will increase our total in-game area by nearly 50%, adding 150 square kilometers of fresh gameplay space. Before the full release, we plan to offer a preview—similar to what we did for Solace—so that our community can experience a taste of what’s to come.<h3>Esperanza 1, 2 &amp; 3</h3>Esperanza 1 is nearly complete, and we continue to make significant progress with Esperanza 2 and 3. We are currently positioning the town centers and laying down land plots, and we expect our community to be thoroughly impressed when they explore the new layout.Esperanza represents a major advancement in our approach to landscape and vegetation diversity. The Esperanza art kit is twice the size of the Solace art kit, offering twice as many creative assets to bring the biome to life. This upgrade will further enhance our biome development process, delivering a uniquely engaging experience in our game’s desert environment. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2046/373;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/eeyOFQ1fSe6NTWk1kxnX" width="2046" height="373"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2894/806;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/f63sfDjNSViFBZsljyYs" width="2894" height="806"></figure><h2>Upcoming Developments</h2><h3>Avatar 3.0</h3>The upcoming upgrades to our avatars are the most significant since the launch of our avatar creator. We are not only introducing new, dynamic movement animations but also implementing substantial visual enhancements that will be immediately noticeable. For example, we have integrated masculine and feminine skeletal structures to create a more natural baseline for avatar posture.

Cornucopias Hot Topics - Issue # 9

<h1>February 2025 Update: A Groundbreaking Start to the Year</h1>January was a pivotal month for Cornucopias, with fundamental infrastructure materializing and groundbreaking advancements taking shape. As we step into 2025, we are pushing the boundaries of cutting-edge gaming technology, strengthening our market advantage, and laying the foundation for an immersive gaming experience.<h2>Major Developments</h2><h4>Unreal Engine 5.5.1 Upgrade</h4>Cornucopias continues to uphold its reputation as a future-proof game by consistently upgrading the tools used to build this expansive digital world. In mid-January, we successfully upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.5.1, marking a multi-phase enhancement already in progress.The first phase, completed ahead of schedule, involved upgrading all team members and game files to the latest software version, followed by a thorough debugging process. The next phase focuses on experimenting with these state-of-the-art tools—capabilities that very few major game developers have access to.These enhancements bring increased gameplay efficiency, advanced features that foster immersion, and a higher level of quality. Our first implementation of these tools was with the new avatar animation system, significantly transforming the experience of exploring Cornucopias.<h4>Motion Matching</h4>In case you missed it, we showcased an early version of our new motion-matching avatar movement, featuring a "Terra" character navigating her environment with parkour-style maneuvers. This technology will revolutionize movement mechanics, making exploration more dynamic and visually engaging. Enhancing both gameplay and the visual appeal of our marketing content, motion matching is a top priority for 2025. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4ntRKdehc"></oembed></figure><h4>Avatar Creator 3.0</h4>Beyond movement, we are also refining the visual appeal of our avatars. The upcoming Avatar Creator 3.0 aims to deliver an even more immersive and customizable character creation experience.&nbsp;<h3>Art in the Multiverse</h3><h4>Esperanza</h4>For the past few months, we have been focused on expanding Cornucopias, beginning with the development of Esperanza. Leveraging insights from Solace, we have refined our workflow to accelerate landscape development efficiently. This streamlined process allows us to expand the game world at an unprecedented pace, with each new zone adding 150 sq km of playable real estate before our public launch.At launch, players will have access to three zones—plus Calido—providing a total of 513 sq km of diverse landscapes to explore. Esperanza, a desert biome inspired by real-world locations such as Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico, brings a unique environmental experience to the game. To enhance immersion, we are also developing animal art to complement the environment.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/1lUzpDzSaqtKFD9ds2ZJ" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/2AqRMLb1SxWnIo1DtMTV" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><h4>Structures</h4>We can't forget about the incredible work being executed for land plot structures. Our team is hard at work preparing everything needed for the land progression system and we couldn't be more excited about this feature.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2900/1330;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/yejq3YmxQk6gpdYXtDEb" width="2900" height="1330"></figure><h3>Upcoming Developments</h3><h4>Character &amp; Creature Enhancements</h4>Our community has already seen early models of the Brown Bear, White Deer, and Fox that will inhabit Solace. Over the next 90-day sprint, our team will finalize these animal models, alongside new additions such as Coyotes and Mountain Lions. These creatures will be powered by an early version of our custom NPC Animation Engine, bringing them—and future human NPCs—to life.This advancement will create a richer and more interactive game world, filled with both active players and intelligent NPCs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/HAKk1LC7TmqtZY1Fto3n" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Bd9U0sTORB6m2ieDjtBr" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/MrLJYkQY2hEkmzDkRg9g" width="1920" height="1080"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>Marketing Initiatives</h3><h4>Cinematics Department</h4>Marketing has been a key focus, and in January, we realigned our strategy to move forward with maximum impact in 2025.A brand-new cinematics department has been established to create high-quality content that showcases the game in a visually stunning way. This team comprises individuals with deep knowledge of Cornucopias' development and extensive experience in commercial video production. We have already begun producing content, including product commercials, lore reveals, and game trailers, which will serve as powerful assets for external marketing campaigns. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtube.com/embed/hDBdnbIvDXg"></oembed></figure><h4>KOL Expansion</h4>We have forged relationships with major influencers who are eager to partner with us. Our efforts have been dedicated to selecting creators aligned with our vision and passionate about our product. The KOL team is expanding steadily, with several influencers poised to release Cornucopias content ahead of our next major announcement [REDACTED].<h4>Partnership Development</h4>Cornucopias offers unique creative capabilities that add value to strategic partnerships. Our community has already witnessed examples of this through collaborations such as Neo Tokyo. Moving forward, we will unveil additional partnership initiatives with projects like Metacade, [REDACTED], and various traditional brands, further solidifying our presence in the gaming and Web3 space.

<h2>2024 Recap</h2>As we step into 2025, we’re reflecting on our accomplishments in 2024 to prepare ourselves for even greater success in the new year, building upon the strong foundations we’ve established. In 2024, we published 40 episodes of Copi Cafe with our Co-CEOs, Rob and Josh, delivering transparency and regular development updates to our dedicated community. We officially entered the DePIN category with the launch of our File Node Network, which will soon enable our community to distribute game files globally. Additionally, we released the largest game updates in the history of Cornucopias, including the Solace Zone and other new playable areas in Calido, making Cornucopias the largest playable in-game universe in the blockchain industry. We also introduced foundational gameplay elements such as one of the most advanced avatar creators in the industry, a robust spatial inventory system, a fully functional jetpack item category, a streamlined navigation system, and an in-game trading system based on in-game currency. And for the land plot holders, we ended the year with a massive plot research tool that allows players to navigate detailed maps of Solace 1, 2, and 3 with the option to favorite plots that they plan to grab when we launch our highly anticipated Land Grab in 2025.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/946;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/3VWqctIaQWGu1B5aEK5C" width="1920" height="946"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/949;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/YnRJwM1T2SymL5FomiCA" width="1920" height="949"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>2025 Roadmap Update</h2>Our 2024 achievements have positioned us for Cornucopias’ biggest year yet!

Nexus terminals have been strategically placed in every Solace town and at the center of Calido Valley Square, ensuring your assets are readily accessible in all central hotspots.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1980/1114;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/dp1qaxmbSR2PQ5dSCji0" width="1980" height="1114"></figure><h2>Quality Assurance Enhancements</h2>Our Quality Assurance team has been exceptionally busy testing everything in the new build—the biggest we've ever released—including our new marketplace interface, node infrastructure, and server developments.

"More than a Glimpse" - Build 0.2.3 NOW LIVE!

We are approaching the alpha testing phases of our gameplay and will soon unveil the massive zones of Solace, Esperanza, and Fortune to our community. In our tokenomics paper, we discussed how the COPI token will play a central role as the utility token that fuels the player-driven economy in the Cornucopias universe. As we unveil the massive world of Cornucopias to our community, we anticipate that the size of the early versions of our game will make people realize how massive our in-game economy could be. Even before it has been seen, many of our community members have believed in us and in our vision, so we want to give them more opportunities to get their hands on COPI token.&nbsp;<h3>What is a Stake Pool Offering?</h3>We are launching the COPI token SPO (Stake Pool Offering) on Cardano. All COPI token SPO pools will be set at a 99.99% margin in exchange for 105% COPI token rewards. Rather than setting a stable ADA/COPI reward pair for the entire timeframe of the offering (like many SPOs have done in the past), we will be adjusting the reward to reflect a 6-epoch (roughly 30 days) moving average after every epoch on the ADA/COPI pair. Rewards will be claimable through DripDropz. At the close of our SPO (when all COPI has been distributed), the margin will change from the 99.99% to the standard 5% where delegators will then start receiving ADA rewards. As always, be aware of scammers and malicious actors. Be sure to validate all stake pool information with official Cornucopias written announcements.&nbsp;<h3>Additional Rewards</h3>Additionally, COPI rewards will also be accessible to those participating in DripDropz's proof of liquidity program. To engage, you simply need to supply liquidity in the form of COPI/ADA to one of the designated decentralized exchanges (DEXs) – specifically Minswap, Wingriders, or Vyfi. Upon doing so, the resulting LP tokens will reside in your wallet. You will then earn rewards based on the value of these LP tokens relative to the total COPI/ADA liquidity present on these DEXs. It's important to note that this is entirely optional, and you may choose to keep your ADA delegated in the SPO. However, if the SPO pool reaches full capacity, providing liquidity to the DEX with the COPI/ADA pair presents an alternative opportunity to accumulate additional COPI rewards. Rewards are variable and will fluctuate depending on the number of participants.&nbsp; Please wait to take action until we provide further details.&nbsp;&nbsp;<ol><li>Land Staking - for those that are currently participating in our land staking program, rewards for land staking will be paid from either our SPO pool or the current non SPO pool, so it is your choice how to handle those.&nbsp; If you wish to participate in the SPO however, you must have your ada wallet staked to our new SPO pool.&nbsp; (ID to be provided ASAP upon pool creation) &nbsp;</li><li>COPI rewards are based upon ADA rewards paid by Cardano for securing the Cardano blockchain.&nbsp; The rewards will be claimable on Dripdropz on the same schedule as when the ada rewards are claimable (in a regular stake pool, there is a two epoch gap).&nbsp; A 5% COPI bonus (5% of COPI due will be added to your total) will be included in the rewards claimable on DripDropz platform. &nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li>It is paramount that you claim your rewards at least once per month on the DripDropz website.&nbsp; If you do not claim your COPI rewards as such, they will be lost.&nbsp; Active participation in the program is beneficial to Cardano, Cornucopias, and DripDropz, so thank you for understanding!</li></ol><h3>SPO Information</h3>We always recommend searching using the pool id as opposed to ticker to avoid possible scams.SPO Ticker: COPIC Pool ID:&nbsp;0836ac65915682ad8c7c138a61f354e31711f92f1b53442cd4a89b0b BECH 32 Pool ID: pool1pqm2cev326p2mrruzw9xru65uvt3r7f0rdf5gtx54zdskxqhmur Margin/Fee: 99.99% Rewards: COPI (claimed through DripDropz) &nbsp;Check out <a href="https://cornucopias.io/cornucopias-stake-pools">Cornucopias Stake Pools</a> for more information on our stake pools.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tier 4 is our public access to the sale which does not require anything other than having and logged into your account on the marketplace and enough ADA in your wallet to purchase.<h3>Sale Schedule</h3><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Tier 1</td><td>Corn Points Whale (option to purchase this tier has closed) - Opens on July 11th at 14:00 UTC and will stay open for 24 hours (ending at 14:00 UTC July 12th)</td></tr><tr><td>Break</td><td>30 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Tier 2</td><td>Vehicle Holders - Opens July 12th at 14:30 UTC and remains open for 20 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Break</td><td>60 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Tier 3</td><td>Corn Points Connoisseur (must purchase to mint in this tier - 750 Corn Points) - Opens at 15:50 UTC and remains open for 20 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Break</td><td>30 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Tier 4</td><td>Public - Opens t 16:40 UTC and remains open for 20 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Break</td><td>30 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>Tier 5</td><td>Battle for the Remaining Supply (IF any) - Opens at 17:30 UTC and remains open for 20 minutes</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> &nbsp;We've decided to remove the one-asset-per-person limit for the sale. Those wishing to purchase more than one T3 will no longer need to wait until the last tier of the sale.Here's how this will work:The new quota for each user will be three NFTs. While the maximum mint per tier will remain at one, should you make a purchase during one tier, you'll still be able to make a purchase during the subsequent tiers (if you have the required role) until you've reached your maximum quota of three for the sale. We believe this change will reward community members who wish to purchase more than one NFT.<h4>Tier Purchase Details</h4>For those of you that have been claiming your daily corn points, you can still purchase roles for Tier 1 and Tier 3.

DEGA speeds into the bubbleverse with Cornucopias

Guest writer: Dominic Levien <h4>The Macro Perspective</h4>It's July of 2022, and one of these times in the never-ending cycles of earthly happenings where there seems to be more negative news than positive, which is why I'm incredibly excited about the inspiring developments at Cornucopias.The world is changing at an accelerated pace, and the work environment is changing along with it. We need more income solutions that free us from physical spaces that are flexible, creative, and fun.The creative and fun part is not just a phrase but essential. Life is too short, and I believe that the goal should be happiness, fulfillment, connection, fun, meaning, and whatever makes life worth living for you. Life should be much more than working, eating, sleeping, paying taxes, and dying.It begins at school with a strict curriculum, and students sorted by age instead of skill and curiosity. Educational topics should be flexible and grow with our widening horizons and interests.In college and university, we are taught to be good at one thing, get a certificate, stop learning and pursue a predefined career. Too often, this leads to a "mid-life crisis" or pensioners without much of a clue what to do with their newfound time.Unfortunately, it will get worse for many of us before it gets better because many of the jobs we studied so hard for are becoming obsolete. AI can do these jobs more efficiently and accurately at a fraction of the cost and without needing a bathroom break or holidays.I know that doesn't sound like an uplifting intro to an uplifting article, but can you see the enormous potential in all of this? Imagine being liberated from mindless, repetitive, soul-crushing Jobs in dull corporate settings!If life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Harnessing the power of these new technologies and embracing the freedom they offer is a massive opportunity for us to lead a completely different life!<img width="1024" height="577" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 300w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:700/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/ZD93Gkz9QaJ2D1oAs853 1275w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Cornucopias themed zone land<h2>Getting back to being optimistic and excited</h2>The world of Defi, Crypto, and Web3 is a melting pot of new ideas, and the team at Cornucopias is paving the way with innovation upon innovation, mixing ever more ingredients into their cauldron of solutions. They are cooking up a melange of creativity, multiple income possibilities, borderless communities, flexible learning experiences, beautiful artwork, and simple, pure fun — all in one stunning Metaverse!They recently hosted their first virtual land sale, which sold out in seconds! And in Cornucopias, the land is not just a flat bit of digital real estate. It has beautiful UE5 graphics and essential in-game utilities and will be an integral part of a community-driven gaming experience.<h2>Next up on the NFT roadmap is the Custom Domes, and boy, is that exciting!</h2>Let me tell you why!The Cornucopias Metaverse will be home to a myriad of ecoverses. You will find virtual spaces (called zones) purely for playing, adventuring, hunting, and gathering; there will be zones for building, creating, learning, and coming together. This diversity will create economies and opportunities for trade and modern entrepreneurship for thousands and potentially millions of people within the game. As you might already know, these zones exist within transparent bubbles called Domes floating in the clouds, and the aesthetics are gorgeous.In this article, you will learn about a free-to-play NFT called the Home Bubble, the Custom Domes NFTs that will be coming up for sale very soon, and you will get a sneak peek into the possibilities of the Custom Domes and why they are so exciting.<img width="1024" height="610" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 300w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:400/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:800/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1300/YykNYeNPQg2B8HSUEkfE 1222w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Home Bubble Deck Card from the Cornucopias CopiWikiEvery player participating in the Cornucopias Metaverse will automatically own their Home Bubble, a single transparent bubble resting atop a futuristic, conical metal structure floating in the clouds. In the bubble, there is an island surrounded by water. The player can design the interior of their bubble however they want. To start with, you will have two trees and a hammock.Within your Home Bubble is space to build a house with a garage and a garden. In the house, players can place furniture and art objects, and in the garage, they can show off their vehicles.Furniture and vehicles are all unique player-owned NFT resources that can be traded between players and sold on any NFT marketplace they are listed. Building materials for the house will be acquired by fulfilling gamified tasks within the vast Metaverse, hunting, gathering, or simply buying resources and finally crafting your desired object. This Home Bubble is the starting point for all players, a place to showcase your NFTs and your creativity, and a place to invite friends over and have a fireside chat after a long day.<img width="1024" height="576" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/oqB6dx1qQ9SmIDy1TRro 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">An In-game screenshot of a house within the Home Bubble also from the CopiWikiNow, this is where it starts to get complex but exciting from an entrepreneurial point of view.The Custom Domes will be large floating spaces, similar to the Themed Zones' more significantly large floating landscapes, only that these domes will be privately owned. When you purchase a Custom Dome, it is empty and will come with an extensive catalog of themes and pre-designed elements to create something unique without needing to code.The in-game mechanics of Cornucopias will probably be programmed so that as part of fulfilling quests, players will be sent to Custom Domes to complete tasks needed to be rewarded with resources, coins, and more. They channel players and, therefore, potential revenue into your Dome where you want them. The options for innovation are endless and Cornucopias is exploring them all.<img width="1024" height="604" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant" alt="Is the Future of Entrepreneurship bubbling in the Cornucopias Metaverse?" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/uZedVhP5QnKlDx5T3ant 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px">Custom Dome Deck Card from the CopiWikiThe idea is that a whole ecosystem will grow around designing and building elements for these Custom Domes.As a virgin owner of a Custom Dome, you can choose from different templates and then pick design elements fitting that theme. You could, for instance, purchase a Custom Dome, choose the Night Club theme, go to the marketplace for interior design elements and create your unique nightclub venue. Within this nightclub, you can place sizeable floor-to-ceiling video screens and stages. You can invite Eminem to perform live at your location and sell the entrance tickets.OrYou can choose the Education theme and create your own virtual classroom fully equipped with all the materials needed for your particular line of education.How about Offering online courses in speaking, for instance. Participants can get on stage and practice in a safe environment with their classmates. You could even make a deal with a Custom Dome Nightclub and send your students to perform for their party guests.Or you could offer a permaculture course (self-sustainable ecosystems) where you create virtual landscapes that are fully interactable and show the progress of a permaculture system fast-forwarded through time. Your students can walk around a swale, plant a tree, and understand visually in 3D how the hidden fungal network between the roots works.OrIf you are the owner of an exclusive “Mega” Custom Dome you can build the best racing track in the whole Metaverse — one where even Anakin Skywalker would want to race — and hold racing events that attract thousands at a time.

Here you can host e-sports events, live festivals, Massive Multiplayer Games, and, in theory, absolutely anything you want to create. If your imagination is holding out on you, here are two things I would like to see realized in a Custom Domes.<ol> <li aria-level="1">In a previous article on Cornucopias, I stated that dragon mounts are the only thing missing in Cornucopias". Well, perhaps the Custom Domes could even remedy this. Imagine a group of developers and designers got together and created a Dome where upon entering, your character would morph into a fantasy figure; you could walk to the stables, mount your dragon and fly to a virtual Comic Con within the Cornucopias Metaverse! You could charge a small entry fee like any Comic Con. The characters and mounts would be tradable and configurable NFTs, and within the custom fantasy Dome, there would be adventures and quests to be discovered and achievements to unlock that would reflect back into the larger ecoverse of the Cornucopias Metaverse. Does that sound like a fun way to earn an income?</li> <li aria-level="1">Imagine this. Your Custom Dome is a cross-chain portal into all the other Metaverse projects out there!!</li></ol>Imagine you could program a Metaverse transfer service.In the future, millions, if not billions, of people will have characters in multiple Metaverses, and they will want to easily get from one to the other. Imagine a player in the Cornucopias Metaverse intends to visit the Sandbox Metaverse. They fly with a Bubble Jet or public transport to your Custom Dome, pay an entry fee, and are now in a massive, colorful futuristic airport/spaceport with shopping malls, galleries, and gates.&nbsp;Each gate is a portal/wormhole to another Metaverse!! Upon entering the gate, your character is automatically transformed into the character you last saved in the Metaverse you are traveling to. While passing through your central Portal Hub on their way from one Metaverse to another, they can stroll through the shopping mall and buy a t-shirt souvenir, meet a friend in the nightclub in the Custom Dome next door, or what about a quick game of capture the flag in the PVP Arena?!Ahhhh, this is all getting too creative to be true, but could it be the future? And does Cornucopias have a chance of being a part of this future?I think so, very much so. Actually, I believe they are pioneering this future.SynopsisThe creators at Cornucopias imagine a frictionless, customizable, massive decentralized ecosystem within the Metaverse.They imagine designers, architects, developers, and hobbyists creating NFT assets and selling them on a decentralized marketplace so players and businesses alike can use them within their Custom Domes and Home Bubbles.They imagine educators bringing people together from around the world and teaching in a modern, flexible digital classroom for whoever, from wherever, whenever they want.They imagine international corporations building virtual meeting rooms and hosting internal company events.In a nutshell, Cornucopias wants to disrupt the status quo. They want to host a decentralized, creative, positive, empowering future shared by millions of people from all cultures and backgrounds. How not to be inspired by their intention to combine philanthropy, education, sources of income, and frivolous fun!In the title of this article, I ask the question, is this the future of entrepreneurship? Well, what do you think? Suppose you can make a successful career out of education, game

Is the Future of Entrepreneurship bubbling in the Cornucopias Metaverse?

<h2>Enabling Disruption</h2>Remember the fax machine?&nbsp;Most people my age have never even used one. Do you still call a taxi firm to book your ride or do you simply open your Uber app? When was the last time you wrote a bank cheque or dialed up the Internet?Things change pretty fast, and standard practice is now yesterday’s news. Netflix has replaced the video store. Airbnb challenges the hotel sector. Amazon has changed the retail landscape.And Wikipedia rattles libraries.<h2>Societal Disruption</h2>Each of these is an example of 'Disruption'. This term was coined by Larry Downes and describes the concept as 'major marketplace changes or sector transformation following the application of technology. We are so used to these companies and practices, that it feels as though we have always used them. This isn't the case, however, and innovation does not occur overnight. Take Amazon for example. Would it surprise you to know that it was founded in 1994? Or that Netflix began in '97? Airbnb started in '08. Practices we employ every day and are habitual within society were actually founded years before they ascended into the mainstream. Moreover, it's reasonable to assume that more epic industry disruptions are happening right under our noses. There is, however, one institution that has so far been relatively immune to disruption: the banking system. Banking - unchanged and out of date - is the old champion of the finance world.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/JufEpcNgSOC3t6OmmMWj 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Cryptocurrencies render intermediary banks redundant.However, this institution is finally being challenged by a new formidable contender in the form of cryptocurrency. Crypto provides an electronic peer-to-peer cash system that renders intermediary banks redundant. Cash and cheques are soon to become unnecessary and redundant, banks becoming simply buildings stocked with paper. Founded in 2009, Bitcoin has created a technology that heralds disintermediation, personal control, portable data, and transparent records. Foresight tells us this will create a disruption of the banking paradigm.<h2>Gaming Disruption</h2>The gaming industry is beloved by billions of people across the world and has always experienced its fair share of disruption. We saw this when early arcade machines were replaced by the Atari, Nintendo, Playstation, and now VR. This process continues today. Through a marriage of blockchain and gaming, another disruption is on the horizon. Games such as Cornucopias, have the vision to bring freedom, power, autonomy, and new economics to the players themselves. The ambition is to create a cutting-edge metaverse experience through immersive gameplay, an exciting story, exceptional artwork, and innovative economics. For the first time, players can own, buy and sell NFTs and in-game assets which enrich the player experience of the game. These are big ideas, even for digital natives. Indeed, these changes are paradigm-shifting and sometimes difficult to understand. Yet the brand new technology has always presented this problem. Could you describe TikTok to someone in their 90's? So how can we help big ideas spread to the masses?<h2>Innovation</h2>In 1962 Everett Rogers published a book entitled “Diffusion of Innovations.” In it, he explored the increased or decreased likelihood of product adoption. ‘Diffusion’ describes how a product gains momentum and spreads or ‘diffuses’ through society.Rogers proposed five stages of how such change occurs:<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/AOaPFqiWTEYY55JjUW0n 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Those following the Cornucopias Project appear to sit somewhere between Innovators and Early Adopters. However, Early Adopters make up only 13.5% of all adopters, with Innovators just 2%.What tools can we deploy to help the remaining adopters navigate this landscape?&nbsp;The answer is <a href="http://Copiwiki.cornucopias.io">COPIWiki</a>.<h2>The COPIWiki</h2>COPIWiki is a robust platform that aims to inform readers and make complex subjects more easily understandable.

The COPIWiki is the platform to help players understand the use cases of NFTs and how they link to the greater Metaverse.It’s important to note that the COPIWiki is a living document that will perpetually develop. As new game ideas emerge they will be integrated. By that token, existing ideas have the potential to change or evolve, and the information you read in COPIWiki may differ in the months to come. That is not to say that the information is not valuable and accurate. Ultimately, this is all about information that aims to guide potential adopters into the future.Disruption is inevitable.Thus, the COPIWiki is an important, informative tool we are giving to our community to stay ahead of the curve. The game release is imminent and as things heat up, the COPIWiki will continue to be an invaluable tool and a link to all things Cornucopias.<h2>Final Note:</h2>The COPIWatch team would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Jake Billing for his contribution to the publication!Thank you for reading…

It’s human nature: individuals will try to game the system. This is to be expected, and as such, the Cornucopias Development Team would like to address the concerns community members have raised about bots during the mint. The reality of Cornucopias’ first land sale is that there were many thousands of people competing for a very limited number of land plot NFTs. This monumental demand requires that our development team use the feedback from our community to continually implement improvements for future mints.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/gm9PSzXWSB6HJM4WEVmo 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Thanks to our NFT marketplace, the Cornucopias Development Team continuously integrates UI updates in order to make each mint smoother and with the highest level of security.Even though our systems are well protected against users trying to find loopholes, it is an unending game of cat and mouse. As such, the Cornucopias development team was able to implement fresh security guards as the sales progressed and we will continue to find solutions to keep our community and our mints fair, fun to participate in, and above all, secure.<hr><h2>Final Note</h2>We are extremely humbled and very thankful to the Cornucopias community for making the last 5 days of our first land sale a great success. We are very proud to provide our community of crypto enthusiasts and gamers with the tools and resources you will need to construct the Cornucopias metaverse.&nbsp; In the end, this project is all about your success. Cornucopias is a game engineered to foster a spirit of creativity, stir a sense of awe and excitement deep within the player, and open the doors of opportunity to all denizens of the Metaverse.&nbsp; Thanks to you, we can build this new world together, and we’re barely getting started!&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/FPJNhtHlS1CntC7oNRTZ 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Please don't forget to follow us our socials, and be sure to join your favorite <a href="https://linktr.ee/CornucopiasGame">Cornucopias social media community </a>and share us with your friends!

If you missed the mint, here’s a quick summary: Cornucopias’ developers implemented an on-screen countdown timer set to start 1 minute before the BUY button appears on the screen.&nbsp;In addition to helping users prep for the sale, this upgrade was provided to give users a way to tell if their connection to Cornucopias’ servers is active. No countdown = no connection, which means that a browser refresh is necessary. The goal is to provide a smoother minting experience for all users. Also, users can now see how many queue positions are being requested in real-time thanks to a new “unprocessed counter.” Once a user’s queue request is processed, the remaining amount will go down. This has been implemented in order to provide transparency into the project’s minting process and to help level the playing field for all users.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/EHeFj4EySyuoKaOxCie4 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Finally, Cornucopias’ Development Team is proud to announce that there were fewer than 5 payment failures today thanks to the new upgrades to Cornucopias’ custom NFT marketplace.

With all Small and Medium plots completely sold out, the sales volume on the secondary marketplaces has already pushed well past the 1 million ADA mark at the time of this writing, and shows no signs of slowing down!&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/sqSFtCcSTOqu71jfL0hY 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024"><hr><h2>Cornucopias land plot NFTs are loaded with rewards and utility features!</h2>Also, to everyone ready to flip their freshly minted land plots, please remember that staking and airdrop rewards are available to ALL land owners, regardless of the size of your plot!So while we don’t want to discourage flipping your way up to a larger property, we do want everyone to keep in mind that land ownership in Cornucopias Cardano metaverse comes with a couple of awesome perks!

COPI Coming to DripDropz

Whether in the real world or one of the many emerging Cardano metaverses, land is the single most desirable asset anyone can own. The connection between human beings and land is ancient and powerful.&nbsp;This is why games like Magic the Gathering or Civilization rely on complex land (Mana/Terrain) mechanics to fuel the games’ forward progression and determine the winners.Beautiful landscapes have inspired countless generations of artists and thrill-seekers alike. When human beings are not fighting over land, they are helping to cultivate it. Land serves as the foundation upon which our global economy is built, enabling food production, commerce, manufacturing, and supply chain logistics.&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/t6cWy1BKSeOFqVStsH99 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Beautiful landscapes abound in Cornucopias' Cardano metaverse.Effectively, land is essential to any pursuit that requires a place to gather or a space to craft or conduct business. Anyone who understands how to build success recognizes no surer route than real estate.&nbsp;That is… until the advent of virtual assets within the Metaverse as land parcel NFTs. Projects across all blockchain ecosystems have readily adopted NFT land sale models because they can be an incredible way to fund growth, and land NFTs are loaded with use cases for the holder.&nbsp;As the adoption of blockchain games and the Metaverse progresses, the necessity of NFT land sales will become increasingly evident in this space.According to the <a href="https://dappradar.com/blog/2021-dapp-industry-report#metaverse">2021 Dapp Industry Report</a>: “The price on average for virtual lands in The Sandbox, one of the essential metaverse players, surged almost 500% from the end of October. In November, virtual lands on The Sandbox were traded for $14,800 on average, a significant growth from October’s $2,500 average.”The Sandbox isn’t the only metaverse project to see its virtual land offerings sell for astounding prices. The Dapp Industry Report states that in 2021, the Fashion Street Estate in Decentraland sold for $2.42 million (618,000 MANA) while a Genesis Plot from Axie Infinity sold for $2.33 million (550 ETH)!Unfortunately, and without mentioning any names, other blockchains are <a href="https://solanatimes.io/solana-goes-down-again/">prone to shutting down </a>completely, have ridiculously <a href="https://twitter.com/DegenTravis/status/1520605337690066944?t=HMG2_Ze-1sdNwWhCScFcXw&amp;s=19">high transaction fees</a> that ruin the user’s experience, or have been <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/03/tech/axie-infinity-hack-party-nft-la/index.html">hacked</a>. These factors can make land acquisition in any given metaverse a difficult feat to accomplish.&nbsp;Enter CNFT land parcels in the collective Cardano Metaverse.<hr><h2>The Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to meet the demands of Metaverse residents.</h2>The Cornucopias metaverse is being built on Cardano, which is, in the words of Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “the most advanced blockchain on Earth.” During a recent interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s">Mornings with Maria</a>, Charles Hoskinson’s, Cardano’s founder, explained why the Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to meet the growing financial demands of our emergent and increasingly globalized cryptocurrency economy:<blockquote>“In 2013, I helped co-found Ethereum, and there we had smart contracts. Suddenly we could do crowd sales, NFTs, DEXs, and all these things that you see today that are very exciting. But the problem with those technologies is that they don’t really scale.&nbsp;So when you start adding lots of uses, and you want to have a truly global system with millions, and eventually billions [of users] to solve real financial problems — whether it be microfinance in Africa, remittances in El Salvador, or be it global trade or ESG compliance — you just simply don’t have the technology to do that at the scale of millions to billions of people.So what I did in 2015 is I took a step back and said, ‘Alright. Let’s start a company and do first principles research.’ We opened up labs everywhere: one in Tokyo, at Tokyo Tech, one at the University of Wyoming, another at the University of Edinburgh, and one at Athens… because I like the food… and we wrote 135 papers, mostly peer-reviewed.</blockquote><img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/EniJsc3OQGKWgnbcJo1O 300w" sizes="100vw" width="467">It's true.<blockquote>Then we built out the scientific backend, the scientific layer of the industry. We took those papers and transformed them into high-assurance code, the same type of code that you use for jets and rockets, code that can not fail. And we created a protocol called CARDANO.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote>We launched it in 2017, it’s been up since then, and we now have three and a half million users all across the world, from Ethiopia, and Burundi to Kenya, the United States, and Japan.”</blockquote>- Charles Hoskinson, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNyCj4XKP00&amp;t=8s">Mornings with Maria Interview</a>, 05/03/2022The Cardano blockchain has been designed as a feasible response to the cryptocurrency trilemma: security vs. decentralization vs. scalability. The Cardano blockchain is built on peer-reviewed high-assurance code, making it secure, if not tamper-proof.&nbsp;It is highly decentralized across thousands of staking pools, with users evenly distributed. Finally, the adaptability and stability of the Ouroboros protocol allows Cardano to scale into the future.For these reasons and many more, the Cardano blockchain is uniquely suited to provide the decentralized infrastructure powering Cornucopias’ metaverse and all our upcoming land sales.&nbsp;Whereas other blockchains run the risk of going down for extended periods or are keen to slam users with prohibitively high transaction fees, Cardano metaverses have no such barriers to entry.&nbsp;Gamers will be free to securely and comfortably explore the virtual landscape of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse while engaging in the day-to-day activities available within the various themed zones.<hr><h2>Land, what is it good for? Absolutely everything in Cornucopias Cardano Metaverse.</h2>Virtual land CNFTs are one of the most enticing aspects of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse. Plots acquired through land sales will allow owners to customize their gaming experiences while incentivizing imagination in a creative fusion of gaming and decentralized finance.&nbsp;Being a landowner on any metaverse comes with a repertoire of privileges and opportunities that regular metaverse gamers do not have access to.Land NFTs unlock several monetization aspects within a metaverse game by facilitating a wide variety of virtual entrepreneurship opportunities. Like natural land, Cardano metaverse land within Cornucopias’ game will enable players to build their own homes, participate in an exciting metaverse economy, and much more. In the real world, land is a valuable source of materials. In the metaverse, land endows owners have exclusive access to in-game tokens, resources, and governance features.&nbsp;While the final details of what is doable with Cornucopias’ land CNFTs are still being developed, now is an excellent time to examine what land ownership in Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse entails.Once fully released, Cornucopias Cardano metaverse will consist of 12 Themed Zones housed within immense domes silently suspended in a vast, digital sky by advanced technology.&nbsp;Each Themed Zone is composed of a number of Land Sectors, which can be further divided into a preset number of Districts. Cornucopias’ first land sale will focus on Distract Land plots which will be available in one of three Themed Zones: the Life on the Farm Zone, the Wild West Zone, and the Eastern Zone. (NOTE: Wild West Zone, and Eastern Zone will not be playable in the first game release).<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/8ny5jcjnQUGBjrYfXnuV 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Cornucopias' first land mint will feature spacious District Land plots in Sector 1.Districts are the main community-driven hubs of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse, where players will be able to establish a residence and socialize with other Cornucopians.&nbsp;District land plots are where all the early action will be: you’ll be able to trade your wares, quest for new materials, and craft unique equipment NFTs to use while adventuring. Furthermore, players who own a plot of District Land will be granted District Community Membership, which will enable enhanced play-to-earn opportunities within the budding District economies.&nbsp;For instance, District Land plot owners can demonstrate their dedication to the community by completing certain tasks and building residential properties which other players can rent. District Landowners will provide a valuable service to the community by building digital real estate within Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse.&nbsp;Players who do not own District Land will be limited to how much they can play-to-earn. However, players who rent a room in a District Property owned by another player will receive official District Community Membership and thus enable all the play-to-earn opportunities within the District economy.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/8fD6OZTQ4WVPhmUvbZpY 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">District Landowners can build workshops on their plots and provide a valuable service to the community.Residential properties can be upgraded over time using an in-game currency. Upgraded residential properties will allow the owner to house more tenants, and thus collect more rents while at the same time providing an invaluable service for the community. Naturally, District Land plot owners will not be limited solely to residential properties.&nbsp;Landowners will have the option to build Merchant shops where they can conduct business, like selling commodities to buyers in need of a specific resource. Landowners will also be able to build Workshops where players from all across Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse will be able to craft or repair their in-game assets.&nbsp;Additionally, once a District Land plot is properly built out, owners will have the option to create a farm and invite other players to tend the land and participate in Cornucopias’ metaverse economy. In short, District Landowners will be the small business owners and digital job creators of Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse!The opportunities that will be made possible by digital real-estate within Cornucopias’ Cardano metaverse are endless. This is just a quick glimpse at what could await District Land plot owners in the near future. COPIWatch will bring you updates as these details become solidified.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/Uo1HMj8RAeMwOlZzeKGM 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Actual game image of land in Cornucopias' Cardano metaverse.<hr><h2>Final Note</h2>Any metaverse game worth its weight comes with a land sale. Land NFTs have been all the rage in the crypto world since 2021, when the NFT craze first took hold of the internet. Flash forward a year later, and everyone from hardcore blockchain nerds to residents new to the metaverse is still pining over the chance to scoop up some land.&nbsp;Cornucopians will soon have an opportunity to do the same. In future editions of COPIWatch, we’ll take a closer look at this subject as the community prepares for its first land sale.Thank you for reading…

A glimpse of virtual land in Cornucopias' Cardano Metaverse

The Cornucopias Crypto Scam Prevention Manual

The future of gaming will leverage cryptocurrency and more specifically, NFTs as a game dynamic that truly benefits the players.Unfortunately, the traditional gaming community has so far recoiled at the mere mention of NFTs. In fact, fiery fan backlash has led to multiple gaming studios distancing themselves from NFT projects, and in some cases, canceling them altogether.&nbsp;One such example is Playtonic, a UK-based video game developer behind popular titles such as Yooka Laylee &amp; Demon Turf. In February 2022, Playtronic put out <a href="https://twitter.com/PlaytonicGames/status/1488529331223728133">a statement denouncing NFTs</a> on their official Twitter account:“To our community,We have no interest in utilizing NFTs in any aspect of our business now or in [sic] future. Nor do we endorse the use of NFTs in the wider&nbsp;world.”<blockquote><a href="https://t.co/004Qi2klpB">pic.twitter.com/004Qi2klpB</a>— Playtonic (@PlaytonicGames) <a href="https://twitter.com/PlaytonicGames/status/1488529331223728133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2022</a></blockquote>No matter how you slice it, that’s a stern rebuke of NFTs. And perhaps with good reason.The pushback really boils down to distrust of the gaming companies’ intent. Done improperly, NFT’s can squeeze ongoing payments from customers who have already purchased the game. But when properly deployed, NFT’s can enhance the game’s user experience and increase the game’s value through real-life financial benefit. Again, the differentiation is the gaming company’s intentYet in all of this, it is easy to forget just how early Cornucopians are to this emerging movement. The truth is that many sectors of society will soon come to integrate NFT technology despite any initial resistance. The overlap between blockchain and gaming is a natural entry point for NFT adoption within one of the most profitable and popular markets on Earth.&nbsp;However, it is clear that this will come with tremendous challenges.<hr><h2>NFT adoption is only for the&nbsp;bold.</h2>Platonic is far from the only company in the video game industry that has openly distanced itself from NFTs. During an earnings call in 2021, Electronic Arts CEO, Andrew Wilson, called NFTs the “future of the gaming industry.” Then, when recently asked about NFT integration, Wilson seemingly reversed course on his previously bullish attitude:“I believe that collectability will continue to be an important part of our industry and the games and experiences that we offer our players. Whether that’s as part of the NFT blockchain, well, that remains to be seen. And I think the way we think about it is we want to deliver the best possible player experience we can. And so we’re going to evaluate that over time, but right now, it’s not something that we’re driving hard on,” said Wilson <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4483373-electronic-arts-inc-s-ea-ceo-andrew-wilson-on-q3-2022-results-earnings-call-transcript">during an earnings call</a> in February 2022.Additionally, Team17, the developer and publisher of many popular indie games, recently announced the<a href="https://twitter.com/Team17/status/1488618187109408780"> end of its MetaWorms NFT project</a> on Twitter due to heated fan backlash:“We have listened to our teamsters, development partners, and our games’ communities, and the concerns they’ve expressed, and have therefore taken the decision to step back from the NFT&nbsp;space.”&nbsp;<blockquote>&nbsp;Team17 is today announcing an end to the MetaWorms NFT project.We have listened to our Teamsters, development partners, and our games’ communities, and the concerns they’ve expressed, and have therefore taken the decision to step back from the NFT space.— Team17 (@Team17) <a href="https://twitter.com/Team17/status/1488618187109408780?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2022</a></blockquote>Even Cornucopias’ internal lead technical artist, who will remain anonymous, has expressed how deep-rooted negative attitudes toward NFTs are within the traditional gaming community:“If I posted on my social media that I had made an NFT collection, I could lose half my following overnight. I’ve literally seen a friend of mine make an NFT and lose thousands of followers within half an hour. It’s social media suicide for [game] artists at the moment,” they said in a statement to COPIWatch.&nbsp;Despite this, projects like Cornucopias are beginning to illustrate the utility of NFTs as viable gaming assets. As folks come to realize there is more to this new technology than just&nbsp;.jpeg art, the attitudes of gamers toward NFTs will surely soften. Indeed, it is already obvious that NFTs in gaming represent the fusion of two incredibly profitable markets.&nbsp;According to the <a href="https://go.chainalysis.com/rs/503-FAP-074/images/Chainalysis%20NFT%20Market%20Report.pdf">2021 NFT Market Report</a> issued by blockchain analysis firm, Chainalysis, in “2021, users sent at least $44.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency to ERC-721 and ERC-1155 contracts, the two types of Ethereum smart contracts associated with NFT marketplaces and collections.” This figure does not account for NFTs minted on blockchains besides Ethereum.&nbsp;The total volume of NFT sales across all blockchains is likely much higher, which indicates that support for NFTs is widespread in the cryptocurrency industry. It is only a matter of time before this bullishness colors the perception of NFTs in video game culture.&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/NFyTAjHCTIeRrvEM0mWp 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">By 2027, the gaming industry will generate more than$293 billion in revenue.According to Yahoo Finance, in 2020, the global gaming industry generated $155 billion in revenue. Market analysts predict that by 2027, the gaming industry will generate more than <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-video-games-market-reach-102300064.html">$293 billion in revenue.</a>&nbsp;How much of that figure will NFT gamers account for?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/">Cornucopias Game Studio</a>, along with our community of fearless, forward-focused early adopters, recognize the value proposition that NFTs represent. Through a rich metaverse experience and well-thought-out utility for Cornucopias’ NFTs, this community is helping the public overcome the negative stereotypes associated with this emergent phenomenon. This will naturally lead to an extremely lucrative evolution of gaming tech, which will benefit everyone involved.&nbsp;<hr><h2>When other game studios retreat, Cornucopias charges&nbsp;forward.</h2>Cornucopias Game Studio is not afraid to clearly identify as an NFT-focused pioneer in blockchain gaming. Indeed, NFTs are central to the Cornucopias metaverse. This is why the Bubblejett Sprinter, GTI Javelin, and recently minted Bubblejett OG Custom, have all been designed to provide as much value as possible. Whether you plan on flipping them on the secondary market or HODLing them for the long haul, Cornucopias’ gaming assets will withstand and overcome the negative preconceptions toward NFTs.&nbsp;NFTs have the potential to make the gaming experience more immersive and rewarding, as players possess true ownership of their digital assets. Traditional gaming assets can not be sold on a secondary marketplace or transferred outside of their home game. However, e-commerce is hardcoded into NFTs. As a play-to-earn and build-to-earn metaverse, Cornucopias’ will empower players to create a new economy by building and developing their in-game NFT assets.&nbsp;The belief that NFTs will forever change and enhance the gaming experience is central to Cornucopias’ corporate ethos. This is why the company spent months designing, testing, and carefully curating NFTs according to the community’s feedback and desires before launching the first edition Bubblejett Sprinter.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/MoMtJZtAT5aEmPagIM7k 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">Use cases for the <a href="https://www.jpg.store/collection/cornucopias-bubblejett-sprinter2022">Bubblejett Sprinter</a>, <a href="https://www.jpg.store/collection/cornucopiasgtijavelin2022">GTI Javelin</a>, and <a href="https://www.jpg.store/collection/cornucopiasbubblejettsprinter-ogcustom2022">Bubblejett OG Custom</a>.As the gaming world incorporates NFTs, it is encouraging to know that Cornucopians are well ahead of the traditional gaming industry. The development of an engaging and interactive metaverse game all stems from Cornucopias’ community. It is still very early in this project’s lifecycle. Cornucopians who are involved now serve as the pacesetters for the regular gamers who will likely be making their first foray into the world of blockchain gaming via projects like this one.&nbsp;Through the channels of traditional gaming and online entertainment, NFTs are tapping into the curiosity of the public. This represents a golden opportunity to help escort newcomers into the world of blockchain. NFTs are making it easier for people who are completely new to this space to access, understand and witness the power of decentralization.&nbsp;It may very well be that widespread crypto adoption is achieved in part through the efforts of forward-thinking projects, like Cornucopias’ community.&nbsp;In order to overcome the negative preconceptions of NFTs, early crypto adopters must strive to bridge the gap between the traditional video game industry and this new generation of NFT-savvy gamers.<hr><h2>Final Note</h2>There are many things that unite traditional gamers and the new generation of NFT early adopters. The need for self-expression, the appreciation of artful immersion, and our desire for and love of play are far stronger than any negative preconceptions about NFTs.&nbsp;The battle to overcome these attitudes is far from won. As such, Cornucopians are helping this nascent industry make a positive impression on the traditional gaming community every day.&nbsp;This is illustrated in the detailed rundown of the <a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/2022/04/15/the-future-of-video-games-use-cases-for-cornucopias-metaverse-nfts/">use-cases for the Bubblejett Sprinter/OG Custom, and the GTI Javelin</a> recently published by COPIWatch.

Challenges to the Future of Crypto Gaming: overcoming the negative preconception of NFTs.

In a world where most NFTs lack legitimate use cases, the utility of Cornucopias’ NFTs actually becomes their primary feature.In traditional gaming, players repeatedly pay through micro-transactions, subscription fees, DLC packages, and other such money-grabbing mechanisms.NFT gaming assets provide the exact opposite user experience. Instead of having to repeatedly make in-game purchases to “unlock” game content, only one purchase is required to own an NFT. That ownership unlocks a plethora of perks, rewards, and privileges. Owning an NFT from Cornucopias’ metaverse means you will possess true ownership of an “all-access pass” that unlocks a variety of features and in-game advantages.As long as the NFT is in your wallet, access to all of your perks can not be canceled. You don’t have to pay membership fees every month, and at any time, you can sell your NFT for a potential profit, trade it with someone else, or stake it for additional rewards.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/pQHiJYtTc6quSr7msHwx"></figure><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533038303030">SPRINTER MY22 #08000</a></h3>Moreover, royalties generated by trading volume on secondary marketplaces serve as a passive stream of revenue for Cornucopias Game Studio. This negates the need for tack-on fees, which really means that Cornucopias will forever be a free-to-play, play-to-earn, learn-to-earn, host-to-earn, and build-to-earn metaverse game. The COPIWatch team now invites you to dig into the use cases for Cornucopias' first edition, limited edition NFT vehicles.<hr><h2>Use Cases for the Bubblejett Sprinter / OG Custom &amp; GTI&nbsp;Javelin.</h2>&nbsp;The first edition Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett, and the GTI Javelin are the origin point in a long line of NFT gaming assets that will have tremendous utility within the Cornucopias metaverse.&nbsp;However, because they are the first, they will come with a set of exclusive use cases that may not be present in later iterations of Cornucopias’ gaming assets. These include the following:<h4>E-Sports: Racing clubs, leagues, and original&nbsp;content:</h4>Individuals who own one of Cornucopias’ first edition NFTs will have access to a variety of perks. Owners will be admitted into exclusive e-sports clubs, such as racing leagues or teams exclusive to NFT holders.&nbsp;Vehicle rarity will be used to determine which clubs owners may join, and in what types of events they can participate. Imagine racing against other NFT owners in the “Legendary Corn Cup” or the “Mythic Corn Cup!” Advanced racing leagues based on NFT rarity will also generate increasingly exclusive prizes for tournament wins. Special esports content will be available to NFT holders and the future could see sponsorships from IRL racing leagues for global tournaments on Cornucopias’ metaverse race tracks!<h4>NFT Pedigrees:</h4>Cornucopias’ NFTs will gain a history of wins, losses, and owners, just like a prizefighter’s record. The longer you hold an NFT and the more wins you accumulate, the more valuable that NFT could potentially become. Some of the traits that will follow any given NFT vehicle around include things like races and cups win/loss percentage, miles driven, fastest speed, total drivers, and total owners. NFT vehicles with an illustrious pedigree owned by famous individuals, like notable YouTubers, or real-world racing champs, will eventually make their way onto the secondary market as extremely desirable metaverse memorabilia.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/JFyn54uiST6NMQTBgQis"><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13424a533030343932">SPRINTER LE22 #00492</a></h3>Additionally, it has been suggested by Cornucopias’ CEO, Rob Greig, that these traits will somehow be visible within the game, perhaps as badges floating above characters’ heads. Imagine being gathered around the racing arena with other Cornucopians only to realize that your opponent’s vehicle was once driven by Elon Musk or Charles Hoskinson! Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch — but who knows?<h4>Governance Rights:</h4>A decentralized NFT governance system will empower Cornucopias NFT holders in much the same way a decentralized autonomous organization grants voting rights to governance token holders. NFT holders will be able to help direct the development of the Bubbljett &amp; GTI Javelin NFT projects.This is an open invitation for the community to help determine details about the next generation of Cornucopias’ NFT vehicles. By holding a first edition NFT, it will be possible to vote on things like use cases, designs, colors, or other important gameplay mechanics of future NFT releases. The final details on how exactly this will work are being formulated now, and COPIWatch will keep you updated.<h4>Official NFT Holder Roles on Cornucopias’ Discord&nbsp;Server:</h4>Our NFT strategists and Discord moderators are working together to create new roles on Cornucopias’ Discord server. At present, these roles will only be available to Cornucopians who hold a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett and GTI Javelin. Future NFT iterations will likely come with related Discord roles. First edition NFT owners who connect their wallet via Discord and complete a verification process will be awarded an official Discord role.This role will unlock an exclusive channel on the Cornucopias’ Discord server that only NFT vehicle holders will be able to access. This chat will likely serve as the headquarters for the digital gaming asset’s governing body to discuss the project — though these details have yet to be determined. It is possible that in the future, additional permissions will be added to a holder’s Discord role, based on the rarity of the NFT in their wallet.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Fuquy3LS8aMsMhuZl5Rg"><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3032303939">JAVELIN LE22 #02099</a></h3><h4>NFT Staking for&nbsp;rewards:</h4>The COPIWatch team cannot fully disclose the details of how staking will work within Cornucopias’ cryptocurrency ecosystem yet. What is known is that first edition NFT vehicle holders will be able to stake their NFTs for rewards, such as in-game currency, corn-based fuel units, and other materials that will be crucial to Cornucopias’ build-to-earn and play-to-earn mechanics.&nbsp;How exactly this will work, and what sort of rewards delivery systems will be used has yet to be determined. NFT staking for rewards will serve as a critical element of the project’s overall vision. Our NFT strategists are working closely with our executive team and tokenomics specialist to develop a feasible rewards structure for NFT staking.&nbsp;<blockquote>(Editor’s note: our NFT strategists have issued the following clarifications on the information regarding Marketplace Access &amp; Testing Groups below. The COPIWatch team apologizes for any confusion this may have caused you.)</blockquote><h4>Marketplace Access &amp; Testing Groups:</h4>In combination with Cornucopias’ Discord verification system and proprietary marketplace, ownership of a first edition NFT will provide special access for future mints (specifics will always be in official announcements). This is not to be confused with “whitelisting.” Early access to alpha gameplay testing is guaranteed for all NFT vehicle holders provided you have undergone verification on Discord (this will be based on rarity as stated below).If you hold a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter, GTI Javelin, or Bubblejett Custom OG, you will be invited to participate in alpha test groups. Access to these groups will be prioritized by NFT vehicle rarity. For instance, if you hold a Legendary or Mythic NFT, you will receive an invitation to participate in alpha gameplay events before individuals who hold a Rare, Uncommon, or Common NFT.<h4>Traveling around Cornucopias’ Metaverse:</h4>The Cornucopias metaverse is enormous. Traveling between your home island bubble and any of the themed zones is going to be a crucial element of the game’s mechanics. Both the Bubblejett Sprinter / Custom OG Bubblejett and GTI Javelin will make traveling from one massive bubble dome to another a thrilling joy ride.As resource gathering is a central component of Cornucopias’ community-built metaverse, gamers can use their NFT vehicle to transport virtually any digital object from one location to another. Raw materials for crafting NFTs, loot from adventuring, a fashionable new set of NFT clothes or even other Cornucopians can be loaded onto an NFT vehicle and transported to a gamer’s home bubble.&nbsp;NFT vehicles will help to shape the full scope of Cornucopias’ build-to-earn and play-to-earn plexuses by giving players the freedom to traverse anywhere, while carrying anything, in Cornucopias’ metaverse.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/DiRJSRsfTuybKJnCX3LS"><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/086849cd9f672e731e0d9590a2d28a6a690ffa2f73bae0e1970f04914754494a3039323030">JAVELIN MY22 #09200</a></h3><h4>Virtual Entrepreneurship:&nbsp;</h4>As previously mentioned, transportation is a crucial gameplay element in Cornucopias. A public transit system will be available for players without a vehicle. However, renting a vehicle is another option for getting around the Cornucopias metaverse. Individuals who own NFT vehicles will be able to rent them out to new gamers for a certain fee. Whether this will be paid out in COPI tokens or a different in-game currency is yet to be determined.&nbsp;This will benefit new gamers who want to test out an NFT before buying it, as well as racing fanatics who want to practice for a race with someone else’s vehicle to avoid racking up mileage or losses on the pedigree of their vehicle.However, this is not the only way holders will be able to leverage their NFTs in lucrative virtual business opportunities. Transportation services, such as delivering materials or even players around Cornucopias’ metaverse will also be a possibility. Dealerships that specialize in NFT vehicles with specific traits/pedigree are also realistic metaverse business models. How an NFT vehicle can be put to use as a value-generating virtual business asset is limited only by the gamer’s imagination.<h4>Exclusive NFT&nbsp;Rewards:</h4>These will be NFT airdrops in all but name. While the NFT itself will be free, there will be a small transaction fee associated with the drop. However, the Cornucopias’ team can drop virtually anything as an NFT reward for holding a first edition Bubblejett Sprinter or GTI Javelin.&nbsp;According to Rob Greig, Cornucopias’ CEO, this perk will work best paired with an in-game reward system. For example, if a player wins 100 races using their NFT, then they would be able to claim an achievement badge specific to their vehicle’s rarity as an NFT reward.&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/sVRN04RjQRK98IuKKOQD"><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/a4badea66770768b02ff7b9674d445f13016ce901804f45844e00ebd424a534f47433030353539">SPRINTER OG CUSTOM LE22</a></h3>It is completely within the realm of possibility for a holder to one day wake up and find a brand new NFT reward from the Cornucopias team waiting in their wallet.&nbsp;<hr><h2>In-game performance specs.</h2>All of Cornucopias’ NFT vehicles possess different performance specs that will directly affect how they operate within the game. However, Cornucopias’ racing tournaments will be class-based, which puts the racing advantage directly in the gamer’s hands. It doesn’t matter which vehicle you’re driving, what matters is how you use it to leverage your driving style and rack up tournament wins!Are you more focused on power and speed, or do you have a preference for handling and precision? No matter what your driving style is, there will eventually be a Cornucopias NFT vehicle for you.For now, the following specs will apply to the Bubblejett Sprinter, GTI Javelin, and Custom OG Bubblejett models specifically:Top Speed: Indicates how fast the vehicle can go when pushed to its absolute limit. However, top speed isn’t everything. Players would be wise to consider a vehicle’s handling and acceleration statistics in combination with top speed in order to gain an advantage.&nbsp;Acceleration: Determines how quickly the vehicle reaches its top speed. Vehicles with a high acceleration rate will be able to go head to head with vehicles that have a higher top speed, thus allowing for a more balanced gaming experience.Handling: This stat governs how easy it is to control a vehicle while in use. Models like the GTI Javelin will be slightly harder to control than vehicles like the Bubblejett Sprinter. This will require that gamers exercise a certain level of finesse to gain an advantage during a race.Efficiency: This refers to a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Some vehicles will be more fuel-efficient than others. Gamers will have to decide whether they want to acquire racing vehicles or vehicles intended for transporting cargo back and forth between their home island bubble and other parts of the metaverse. Or both.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/peBOIz6IQJerOAVQNHtd"><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.jpg.store/asset/a4badea66770768b02ff7b9674d445f13016ce901804f45844e00ebd424a534f47433030363230">SPRINTER OG CUSTOM MY22 #00620</a></h3>Cargo: A vehicle’s carrying capacity. There will be resources throughout the Cornucopias metaverse, such as wood, metals, and fabrics that will need to be hauled from one location to another. Performance vehicles like the GTI Javelin are limited in carrying capacity. Eventually, large vehicles capable of carrying industrial-sized loads will be available as NFTs.<hr><h2>Final Note</h2>It is important to note that Cornucopias’ NFTs are being released in sync with what will be available to test during alpha gameplay. As a Cornucopias NFT holder, you will play a key role in helping to create this paradigm shift in the history of gaming!

Does this epic encounter between one of Corncopias’ advisors and Hoskinson hint at exciting future developments?&nbsp;Only time will tell.&nbsp;With all the positive news around the project, Cornucopias has become ensconced within the public’s consciousness as a major play-to-earn presence on the Cardano blockchain. As your metaverse project pushes toward one milestone after another, the Cornucopias team has also accelerated our community outreach efforts.&nbsp;There is no better example of this than the latest edition to the growing collection of corn-centric content: COPICafe.&nbsp;<hr><h2>Crack open your favorite beverage: Introducing COPICafe.</h2>Cornucopias’ forward momentum relies on the open channels of communication between the Cornucopias team and our community. COPICafe was launched as an effort to further strengthen these channels and establish greater transparency and closeness with all Cornucopians as together we create the ultimate play-to-earn metaverse experience.&nbsp;Josh Jones, CEO of Cornucopias, addresses the paramount importance of a decentralized, creative community in the first installment of COPICafe: “Our community is so important because our goal is to gradually decentralize over time so that our play-to-earn metaverse becomes self-building.”<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/kpop9aPTseBAswVJVPwQ 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Josh continues, “We’ve got the tools now for people to build in our world. Eventually, these tools will allow people to build city buildings and all sorts of stuff. We want to empower the community to build in our metaverse and in our world.” Indeed, Cornucopias’ vision includes plans to more fully decentralize into a community-built, play-to-earn metaverse for gamers, cryptonauts, and creatives alike.&nbsp;Cornucopia’s play-to-earn and build-to-earn mechanics have been designed to empower and incentivize gamers and creatives who help to construct the metaverse game.

So crack open your favorite beverage, relax, and don’t miss a single installment of these corntastic conversations on COPICafe!&nbsp;<hr><h2>COPI Comes Home to Cardano: Minswap&nbsp;Listing</h2>Earlier this month the Cornucopias team was thrilled to announce that Cornucopias’ COPI token is finally available as a native asset on the Cardano blockchain. This represents a massive step forward in Cornucopias’ endeavors to penetrate the Cardano community as a viable contender for the most innovative, play-to-earn metaverse project on the blockchain.&nbsp;This goal remained elusive as COPI token was only available as a BSC-COPI trading pair on Pancakeswap. There are no plans to abandon the BSC-COPI trading pair in favor of the ADA+COPI token. However, the community has been asking when a bridge between the two tokens will be available. The Cornucopias team is working closely with ChainPort, a security-focused blockchain bridge, to provide a feasible cross-chain porting solution as soon as possible.&nbsp;The community’s security is of the utmost importance, thus several rounds of testing are necessary before the public bridge can be announced and put to use. Additionally, COPI token is also the <a href="https://medium.com/chainport/chainport-cardano-integration-for-cornucopias-native-token-copi-25c06fbfe3c">first project ported by ChainPort</a> from Ethereum &amp; the Binance Smart Chain over to Cardano, setting yet another impressive precedent for Cornucopias’ play-to-earn metaverse!&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/gvoOkYqNSSqKlZ7LMYn6 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">While an ADA+COPI liquidity pool presently exists on Minswap, yield farming is not yet available. Cornucopians can change this by voting for an ADA+COPI yield farm via Minswap’s official forum. This will allow the Cornucopias community to more fully integrate on Cardano’s most popular DEX while also providing increased liquidity for both COPI and MIN, Minswaps native token.&nbsp;The Cornucopias team has allocated COPI tokens for farming and staking, so all that’s missing to make this happen is your vote! You can lend your support to this initiative by commenting, liking, and engaging with <a href="https://forum.minswap.org/t/add-copi-cornucopias-ada-pair-to-yield-farming/1012">Cornucopias’ proposal on Minswap’s official community forum</a>.&nbsp;<hr><h2>Bubblejett OG Custom Mint &amp; Discord&nbsp;Roles.</h2>Recently several new features have been popping up all over Cornucopias’ official Discord server. Our NFT management team has been working with the Old Guard and Cornucopias’ internal development teams to prepare for the upcoming Bubblejett OG Custom mint.&nbsp;If you’re a member of the OG, the Cornucopias team would like to thank you, first for your patience, and second for participating in the test mint with our new systems.

This project belongs to the HODL'ers.&nbsp; This project belongs to a new generation of&nbsp;gamers.</h3><img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/JaXP25WQ2mvjHZrl0B9h 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">The Cornucopias Team is a decentralized strike force. We come from different walks of life, different parts of the globe, and different professional fields. But we are united by the belief that we will change the gaming industry forever. Our job will not be done until we've fused blockchain and gaming into a new, insanely immersive genre of entertainment.On that note, dear Cornucopians, the COPIWatch Team would like to officially introduce you to the future of gaming!<hr><h2>Cornucopias' Official Letter of Introduction to the Future of&nbsp;Gaming</h2>The ADA raised by NFT sales is helping to fund the growth of your gaming metaverse. With your help, the Cornucopias team is evolving into a decentralized, AAA blockchain-based gaming powerhouse. Every Cornucopias NFT released into the marketplace, including any NFT that you mint, has been engineered with specific in-game utility, as well as beneficial use cases - such as DeFi.&nbsp;NFTs represent an exciting new future in the world of gaming. For the first time ever, gamers can capitalize on the real-world time and effort they've put into acquiring rare or unique items within a game. No matter what kind of gamer you are, you've likely dedicated hours to defeating a boss, winning a trophy, or unlocking an accomplishment. How many hours did it take you to master speedrunning a stage? How long did you search for that shiny Pokémon?Imagine if your high scores and trophy cabinet were forever etched on the blockchain. Or what if you were able to download a rare item drop from a boss battle onto an external device outside of the game? Your gaming accomplishments would be kept safe long after the last server stops hosting the game. You wouldn't have to worry about losing the original game cartridge. You would never have to recommit yourself to achieving the same in-game reward again. More importantly, your original accomplishment would forever be secure and yours alone to own.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/AXdrGIqnQ6OrwAKKzX2b 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Let’s continue with this example. What if you could take the original Pikachu companion from Pokémon Yellow Edition (the one who used to follow you around everywhere) and upload your pal as a playable version of the Pikachu in Smash Bros. Ultimate, or as a character model in the latest edition of Pokémon Snap?What if you could take that same Pokémon Yellow Edition Pikachu and sell it on a platform like eBay? Only you, as the asset’s sole owner, would be able to provide the credentials to brandish a unique digital certificate of authenticity.And what if it were possible to immediately and securely transfer your gaming asset to your customer’s wallet after verifying and accepting exact payment through the blockchain?<hr><h2>Take this Concept a Step Further: NFT gaming assets with built-in use&nbsp;cases.</h2>NFTs that can be moved from one game into a completely different game as fully playable within that game’s code are not on the market yet. Yet this is where the future of gaming is headed. What is possible now are NFTs that can be used as in-game assets to unlock many different features within a gaming metaverse.Let’s go back to our Pikachu companion example. Imagine if blockchain gaming technology had been around when the early Pokémon series was released. It would have been possible to connect your wallet to a Pokémon Yellow Edition game and mint a first edition Pikachu companion as an NFT gaming asset with a unique serial number. As the sole owner of this specific Pikachu companion, you would be able to unlock certain features within that release of the game, as well as future Pokémon games.For example, you could have access to new areas of the map, or unlock special side-quests and mini-games that only Pikachu companion NFT holders would be able to access. If you continue to hold your first edition Pikachu companion, you would also be able to stake your NFT in exchange for in-game rewards, such as rare poké balls, in-game currency, or special battle items.As a holder of this Pokémon NFT asset, you would also be entitled to certain perks, such as being invited to exclusive tournaments or being recognized as an official member of the “Yellow Edition Pokémon League” with a special NFT Gym Trainer’s Badge. Imagine that holding a Pikachu companion NFT would allow you to be part of alpha game test groups for future Pokémon releases. You would even be asked to weigh in on how the Pokemon franchise should grow and evolve. In our example, holding this type of NFT would give you voting rights in shaping the future of Pokémon!<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/ZTnSiVIOTgmfeGFkhmrh 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">As an NFT gaming asset, your Pikachu companion would also carry a pedigree with it. You would be able to access a detailed record of all your trainer battles, tournament wins, and other things that it helped you to accomplish within the game. If you ever choose to sell your Pikachu companion on a secondary NFT marketplace, you would be able to use its pedigree to increase your asking price. A Pikachu companion NFT with 0 tournament wins would sell at a much lower price than an NFT with several high-profile tournament wins.All of these things are well within the realm of possibilities today. The NFTs being brought to market for the Cornucopias gaming metaverse will be capable of doing many of the things illustrated above and more!Unfortunately, the COPIWatch team cannot yet elaborate on the use cases behind our NFT gaming assets. These details will be explored in future installments of COPIWatch. We’ll be providing a robust discussion about the in-game utility of our NFT gaming assets, starting with the First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter and GTI Javelin.<hr><h2>NFTs and the Future of&nbsp;Gaming.</h2>Many individuals do not yet realize the full implications of NFTs on the future of gaming. The uninitiated think that NFTs are nothing more than digital art and fancy&nbsp;.jpeg files that sell for ridiculous amounts of money.But Cornucopians know the truth.&nbsp;As more and more people adopt NFT technology, there is going to be a quantum leap in what this technology will be capable of doing.As this happens, mainstream gaming becomes changed forever. Cornucopians are leading the charge in the Cardano metaverse gaming industry. NFTs, like the First Edition Bubblejet Sprinter, and the GTI Javelin, are not only unique works of digital art but also fully playable, in-game assets that can also be sold, traded, or collected.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/9ojqKEKuQEilw12rT0gT 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">They will each have a set of in-game features, performance specifications, and specific utility as NFT gaming assets very similar to the examples provided above. Cornucopias will be fully released on Unreal Engine 5 as a blockchain-based MMOMRPG metaverse to a growing worldwide audience.&nbsp;As such, the first edition NFTs like the Bubblejett Sprinter and GTI Javelin will become extremely useful and sought after. They will provide holders critical advantages within the game. As an increasing number of players populate Cornucopias’ metaverse, these NFTs will become extremely scarce.Cornucopias’ NFTs will also be central to how the game’s play-to-earn mechanics work.As a blockchain gamer in a play-to-earn MMOMRPG, your role is twofold:<h3 style="text-align:center;">1 — Play to earn, of&nbsp;course. 2 — But also play to add value to the&nbsp;project.</h3>Players who own NFTs will inevitably take part in how the game is shaped as they figure out new ways to earn. Owning NFTs within Cornucopias will allow gamers to participate within Cornucopias’ DeFi cryptocurrency ecosystems. At its core, the metaverse is shaped around community-driven projects and companies. The more involved you are in the game, the more opportunities you will find to fuse the real world with the digital world in a thriving, value-generating, video-game economy.If you’re holding onto a first edition Cornucopias’ NFT, keep holding onto it! It is a very early and a very precious piece of gaming history! Someday soon, it will have insane amounts of utility within the game that the Cornucopias Team is building for you!<hr><h2>Final Note:</h2>Most people do not understand the true power of NFTs. As Cornucopians, you are helping to change that.The Cornucopias team is laser-focused on building all aspects of this game. Everything we are doing is methodically planned to add more and more value to everyone who is participating in our community. It doesn’t matter whether you are a COPI token holder, NFT holder, or just someone who loves to game.It is still very early to fully conceptualize what the future of gaming holds thanks to NFT technology. But this update was greatly informed by an<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nft-revolution-rob-greig/"> article written by Cornucopias’ CEO</a>, Rob Greig.Rob brings a developer’s perspective to a complex subject and explains what NFTs are, and what might be possible within Cornucopias’ gaming metaverse. He outlines this in an easy-to-understand, carefully crafted, and thought-provoking editorial that is a must-read for the Cornucopias Community and anyone new to NFTs.&nbsp;

Introduction to the Future of Gaming: Playable NFTs and the Cornucopias Metaverse

<h2>Cornucopias Game Studio lists COPI token on Minswap as a Cardano native asset.</h2>For Immediate Release: AUSTIN, TX (March 25th, 2022) - Via COPIWatch - After careful planning, Cornucopias Game studio announces that COPI token can now be bought, traded, and farmed as a Cardano native asset on <a href="https://minswap.org/">Minswap.org</a>. The availability of an ADA+COPI trading pair eliminates the primary obstacle that has prevented COPI token from taking center stage on the lists of many market watchers.COPI token, Cornucopias’ flagship cryptocurrency, was launched on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) on December 10th, 2021. While interoperability and blockchain agnosticism are central to Cornucopias’ corporate game plan, the gaming metaverse’s main community is currently Cardano-centric. As such, the decision to initially launch COPI token on BSC left many COPI holders curious about when the token would be available as a Cardano native asset.COPI was launched on BSC as a measure to avoid high gas fees on the Ethereum network while allowing time for the Cardano blockchain to optimize. Unfortunately, this also meant that many community members would have a difficult time acquiring the BNB necessary to purchase COPI tokens off of Pancakeswap.Due to regulations, Binance, the largest marketplace for BNB, has been inaccessible to US residents since 2019. This impediment has prevented COPI from fully penetrating into the crypto markets. However, all these problems have been nullified thanks to the business acumen and timing of Cornucopias’ executive leadership.<h2>Advantages of listing COPI token as a Cardano native asset on Minswap.</h2>Cornucopias’ executive team is confident that the recent intersection of market forces indicates that now is the perfect time to bring the COPI token home to the Cardano blockchain. Several factors have thrust Cardano into the public’s consciousness, including the upcoming June 2022 launch of the Hydra protocol and the Vasil hard fork, as well as ADA’s price action recently outperforming both BTC and ETH, and perhaps most auspiciously, the <a href="https://twitter.com/pool_pm/status/1506068332927197190">23 new stake pools</a> that suddenly emerged on March 21, 2022, worth 62 million ADA each.&nbsp; Additionally, Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, recently stated that the performance of the blockchain would soon rival that of Solana. According to Hoskinson, by the end of the year, Cardano should be able to accommodate an increasing range of decentralized finance (Defi) apps, smart contracts, and DEXs.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/rl6kuRFETyO2pcCVDFOT 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">All of these developments bode well for the Cardano ecosystem and provide a powerful impetus for the COPI token to join this ecosystem as soon as possible. This is precisely why Minswap was chosen by Cornucopias’ executive team over other decentralized exchanges.The platform’s sudden entrance into the world of decentralized finance was announced by an explosive rise to marketplace dominance. Only a few days after launching, Minswap achieved a higher Total Value Locked (TVL) than any other DEX on Cardano and quickly overtook Sundaeswap as the leading exchange. It remains in first place with a market dominance rating of <a href="https://defillama.com/chain/Cardano">63% and over $195 million in TVL</a> at the time of this press release.According to Minswap’s website, the platform aims to be the best liquidity provider on the market by integrating the best asset pool models from across the DEX ecosystem into one protocol. The combination of stable pools, multi-asset pools, and concentrated liquidity will benefit both traders and liquidity providers.Minswap’s innovative approach and overall dynamism within the Cardano blockchain align closely with Cornucopias’ corporate momentum and will help to propel the project to astounding heights, as expressed by CEO of Cornucopias Inc., <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshjones2000/">Josh Jones</a>:"We couldn't be more excited to launch Copi on Minswap as a Cardano Native Token.&nbsp; While we are blockchain agnostic and believe in interoperability, we have our foundation and home with Cardano for many reasons.For example, Atala Prism allows for digital identity and will be more and more needed as crypto encounters increasing regulations.&nbsp; Governance features will be available to Cardano native tokens, and this is huge for Cornucopias as we intend to gradually decentralize.Scalability for millions of game saves is also important, and we see Hydra as having the potential for this. This is a big celebration for us and our amazing community!"All of these factors together represent a synchronous opportunity to more fully position Cornucopias as the foremost metaverse on the Cardano blockchain and beyond.The time is right, and the infrastructure is in place. With a freshly announced ADA+COPI trading pair available on a disruptive new DEX, it is safe to speculate that there will be a massive infusion of new holders, blockchain gamers, and cNFT enthusiasts who will help to make COPI token Cardano’s foremost native asset.&nbsp;<hr>About Cornucopias:Cornucopias is a massive Play-to-Earn, Build-to-Earn, and Learn-to-Earn blockchain-based game in which players can be rewarded with and/or own land, properties, and other NFT-based assets with real-world value, all by playing games in a fun and safe metaverse.Cornucopias combines gaming with real-world commerce and gives opportunities for traditional and e-commerce companies to sell and promote their real-world brands, goods, and services to a hard-to-reach audience they have potentially never had access to before.Cornucopias is built on the Unreal 5 games engine, which is compatible with the PC, mobile phone, gaming consoles, and smart TVs, and will be powered, governed, and forever evolving thanks to a growing number of communities including blockchain, Unreal Game Developers, 3D artists and modelers, and general game enthusiasts.

Metaverse gaming cryptocurrency, COPI token, can now be purchased with ease by millions of blockchain enthusiasts

&nbsp;<h2>Due to another highly anticipated yet rocky mint, this is the only logical next step</h2>Cornucopians,Cornucopias' second mint saw an incredible influx of participants! However, sometimes too much of a good thing absolutely breaks the internet. Despite what we did to prepare for the sale, this NFT mint was challenged by a whole new set of problems that we could not possibly have foreseen. As a consequence, we were caught off guard.Pulling off a successful NFT sale is a very different endeavor than building an incredible game. Granted, building a game still depends heavily on creativity, talented developers, artists, storytellers, and game mechanics, but it is not a new concept.On the other hand, building an NFT delivery system in a nascent blockchain ecosystem is a brand new and completely different monster. The Cornucopias development team built the queue system as a workaround to offset the congestion on Cardano. Our intention was to make minting NFTs for a very large audience as smooth as possible. It obviously yielded the opposite result and we are currently investigating the root of the problem.The Cornucopias Team and our technology partners, <a href="https://derpbirds.io/">Derp Birds</a>, worked intensely throughout the mint to resolve new challenges as they arose in real-time. Unfortunately, our troubleshooting efforts kept everyone waiting in the queue. We value your time and did not intend to waste it during our second NFT sale. As it became more evident that we were not going to problem-solve in a timely manner, we decided to forgo the mint.We know that many individuals even took time off work to be present for this mint. We want to take this disappointing experience and flip it into a better outcome for you, our community.<hr><h2>It's our job to make things right.</h2>The Cornucopias community is the backbone of everything our metaverse project is doing. All of the things we've accomplished so far are only because of this community's resilience and support. We've decided to gift a FREE NFT to everyone who was in the queue for the sale but was unable to mint. If this was your experience, you will receive a free GTI Javelin from the Cornucopias team.You read that right.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/PFAhkzTWmIFMSNUsi5aw 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">If you devoted your time to our March 15th NFT sale and ended up waiting for longer than you should have, you will not be walking away empty-handed. That is how much we value your presence in and patronage of the Cornucopias metaverse game.In order to get free GTI Javelins to everyone who qualifies for one, we have to increase the number of NFTs minted to match the number of people who were in the queue.That means that roughly 12,400 wallets will receive a free GTI Javelin. Your NFT will be automatically delivered to the wallet you used during the sale. You do not have to take any action. You do not have to worry about disconnecting from the queue. All addresses that were in the queue have been stored in our database.Five lucky people were able to mint, and they will get a full refund of the 95 ADA purchase price.Retaining the trust and support of our community is a crucial goal for our project as we build what is clearly turning out to be an ambitious blockchain gaming metaverse. That is why we have chosen to effectively give away NFTs with a total minting value of almost ₳1 million. It is more important to the Cornucopias team to ensure that we do what is right by our community than to focus solely on funding for the project.Without our community, there is no Cornucopias metaverse.<hr><h2>What comes next?</h2>Taking the first steps into something new and untested is always challenging. Two rough back-to-back mints of this quality would have killed other projects - but Cornucopias is different because we are powered by a community who are as kind and understanding as you are supportive.We draw strength from our community - you are patient, loving, and visionary. You truly believe in what this metaverse project, your metaverse project, can and will become. Together we are pioneering the future of gaming.These are big moves. There are going to be missteps.There are going to be seemingly unconquerable challenges and things could get messy.But at the end of the day, this is where crypto meets gaming. This is what creating the future of decentralized finance and defining its role in blockchain-based gaming looks like. It is a difficult process, but we are stepping into a bright new future together. We are building something that has never really been seen before that is going to help set the trend for future blockchain gaming studios.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/qh80i4ebT2O6zXn4gg89 300w" sizes="100vw" width="800">Cornucopias NFTs will have MANY in-game uses. The Cornucopias team is not in the business of selling NFTs just for the sake of it. We are building a gaming metaverse where NFTs like the Bubblejett Sprinter and GTI Javelin will be insanely useful, playable gaming assets that will greatly enhance your immersion in the game. The GTI Javelin and the Bubblejett will be usable in alpha testing when the time comes.&nbsp;In future installments, COPIWatch will bring you detailed reports about the use cases and utility of Cornucopias' gaming NFTs, as well as news about alpha testing, exciting new partnerships, and other projects that we currently have in development.<hr><h2>Final Note:</h2>For now, the main priority of the Cornucopias team is to get the GTI Javelin NFTs distributed to the wallet addresses on our database. COPIWatch will keep you updated with more details on this process as soon as they become available. Thank you once again for your patience, understanding, and willingness to take these brave new steps into the future of gaming with us.Thanks for reading…

If anything does occur, please remain patient and watch Cornucopias’ official communication channels for updates and/or emergency measures.<hr><h2>Lockdown protocols before the mint.</h2>It is highly possible that there may be wave after wave of scammers that flood Cornucopias’ official Discord, Telegram, and other communication lines. Our first mint was bombarded by an army of scammers spamming links to a fake sale page. There was even a scammer who dared to impersonate MATT (Indiana Jones#1587) on Discord!Do not be fooled by scammers. Do not let anyone you know be fooled by scammers. We are the Corn Fam, and we need to have each other’s backs. Remember, watch out for scammers, and please...DO NOT SEND ADA TO THE MINT ADDRESS (OR ANY OTHER ADDRESS FOR THAT MATTER)!&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to protect the community from scammers, each communication channel has developed the following lockdown protocols. Please familiarize yourself with them.&nbsp;Discord Lockdown Protocol:&nbsp;&nbsp; All Discord channels will enter slow mode 2 hrs before the NFT sale. Except for&nbsp;<a href="https://discord.com/channels/829374949587419137/880512177096769640">#support</a> all Discord channels will be locked down 1 hour before the NFT sale.

We have implemented every possible technical solution to overcome the issues that plagued our first mint, but it’s just as important to keep the community’s morale safe from negative actors.&nbsp;&nbsp;TOXICITY will NOT be tolerated. Timeouts and bans will be used in any situation where foul language is abused, addresses are posted, etc. If you are having a hard time with someone or something please post in #support or DM a mod for help.<hr><h2>Precautions &amp; Emergency Communications.</h2>We’ve taken every precaution possible to ensure a smooth minting experience despite the potential surge of users we expect to see on minting day.&nbsp;&nbsp;We’ve made the decision to bypass any WordPress site layers and funnel minters directly to our NFT delivery system hosted by Derp Birds. This should prevent the frustration many users experienced during our first mint when the landing page hosted by Cornuopias.io crashed. We have also load-tested our NFT delivery system with a much higher volume of test minters to ensure it can withstand the demand, however, the demand is variable. It is not possible to test millions of API calls and all variables when the demand gets as high as we anticipate it is going to be.&nbsp;As the mint progresses, the Cornucopias Communication Team will provide updates. If anything goes wrong, we will ensure that emergency measures are clearly and quickly communicated to the community on the previously identified communication channels.<hr><h2>Final Note:</h2>We hope this installment of COPIWatch has provided you with valuable information concerning Cornucopias’ NFT mints. As our minting process grows and evolves, we will keep this article updated with the most relevant information so that it becomes a useful resource for the community.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don’t forget to follow all our <a href="https://linktr.ee/CornucopiasGame">social media families</a> and be sure to join our <a href="https://discord.com/invite/cornucopiasgameofficial">Discord</a> and <a href="https://t.me/cornucopiasgameofficial">Telegram </a>communities for the latest updates from the Cornucopias gaming metaverse.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for reading…

How to mint NFTs for the Cornucopias gaming metaverse project & what to expect during an NFT mint

In preparation for an upcoming YouTube interview with the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/MetaMoney"> Meta Money</a> channel, I was asked to consider the following question:“Is there anything you would like to discuss on the call?”Anyone who has seen my interviews knows that I like to add new bits of information to each video I make. This simple question got me thinking about a blockchain panel I had watched on my recent trip to Canary Wharf.The panel's discussion was about the nature of interoperability on the blockchain and was hosted by one of Cornucopias’ advisors, <a href="https://twitter.com/CityAM_Crypto?s=20&amp;t=CmDRkdNNAG-2EVJjvHGUPA">James Bowater</a>, who also owns the <a href="https://www.cityam.com/crypto/">City A.M. newspaper.</a>&nbsp;It was an extremely informative panel and the trip was filled with tons of adventures that I may just write a few stories about someday.<blockquote>Wow! Congratulations to the Cornucopias Project for making headlines in a prestigious London newspaper ! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CornucopiasGame?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CornucopiasGame</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CardanoCommunity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CardanoCommunity</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlockchainGaming?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlockchainGaming</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PLAYTOEARNGAMES?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PLAYTOEARNGAMES</a> Image has a photograph of myself and Callum <a href="https://t.co/VB4eyCuT12">pic.twitter.com/VB4eyCuT12</a>— Rob Greig (@RobGreig3) <a href="https://twitter.com/RobGreig3/status/1494925792068919306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 19, 2022</a></blockquote>One restless night after my trip,&nbsp; I was thinking about which new and interesting subject I could discuss during my Meta Money interview. I found myself replaying moments from the trip to Canary Wharf in my mind. Then, from out of nowhere, an old memory popped into my head. It was an inspiring video about Smart Contracts created by Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, in 2020.It’s not the first time I had thought about Charles' video, and indeed it was part of the catalyst (pun intended to those in the know) that gave rise to “The Island” tagline in Cornucopias.All of a sudden my brain became supercharged with ideas -&nbsp; I became more sleep-deprived as I explored and drafted new thoughts about how to explain the metaverse. In the back of my head, I could hear the Meta Money interviewer asking me "Is there anything you would like to discuss on the call?"Now I finally had an answer:&nbsp;“Yes! I want to discuss what the metaverse is and how Cornucopias fits into it.”It took me quite some time to evolve and spin concepts from Charles' video and my own thoughts into a definition of the metaverse, but before I share it with you, I'd like to provide some context about the ideas that inspired my definition.&nbsp;<hr><h2>A brief synopsis of Charles Hoskinson's “The Island, The Ocean and the Pond (Soon)"</h2>In the video titled <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8a6tX53YPs">The Island, The Ocean and the Pond (Soon)</a> Charles Hoskinson talks about Ethereum as the Pond, and describes it as “a petri dish to experiment with a lot of on-chain activity.” He goes into detail about various experimental languages and technologies including Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs) and describes scripting/programming languages, such as Solidity. Charles explains how all these technologies are trying to create a new disruptive world where smart contracts can replace real-world financial transactions.He goes on to suggest that the amount of developers in the Ethereum Pond is tiny compared with the Ocean which represents over 15 million java, .net, php, c, c++, and so on, traditional developers.However, the Ocean is not very interoperable with the Pond as the required tooling doesn’t exist. So the Pond is great for experimenting but it is not ready for mainstream development and there is no long-term strategy to unite the Ocean and the Pond in any way. Charles makes references to how code written in the Pond is not production-ready and hints at future issues if that code were to be adopted as a mainstream standard.I don't want to pour fuel on an already existing fire, but this needs to be said: It has been 2 years since Charles' video was released, and it is common knowledge that Ethereum is well known for widespread smart contract hacking. Over 10 billion dollars have been stolen from smart contracts due to loopholes written into their fundamental structure. This is because the Solidity language was not built with adequate checks and balances.Additionally, the community of Ethereum developers is encouraged to copy and paste chunks of Solidity code in the mantra of “Move fast and break things.” This is a great mantra, but when it comes to cryptocurrency (which holds real-world value and in some cases peoples' life savings), not knowing you are investing and transacting with your money in a hackable ecosystem is not great at all!It's bad for individual users, and for the crypto industry in general.<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8a6tX53YPs">Charles Hoskinson's infamous "SOON" video​</a></h3>Charles elaborates on his metaphor: "The magical Island exists (in the Ocean) where the things that you build, they work right the first time, and it’s just beautiful. It’s a happy place."He recognizes the experiment is important, but to attract mass adoption and sustainability, smart contracts have to be secure. They have to be designed in such a way that developers from the Ocean can use development tools they are already familiar with to get started. He then offers the new purpose-built Cardano smart contract language called Plutus, which is built on top of Haskell, as a solution that developers will hopefully adopt.The Cardano tooling available in Plutus will have many tools built-in by default to try and mitigate bad development practices from happening in the first place. After all, part of Cardano's vision is to replace the current financial system with a decentralized, self-governing ecosystem.To quote a great book I once read called Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Dan &amp; Chip Heath you need to “Shape the Path” of the developer. If you don’t allow them to write bad code in the first place you have achieved a huge leap forward in development and mass adoption.So the Island, according to Charles' metaphor, looks to learn the lessons of the experimental Pond of early smart contracts, and merge them with the Ocean of traditional developers. Doing so could enhance these&nbsp; "potentially related development" worlds and create a beautiful place where opportunities for new adventures can exist in a well thought out, forward-thinking, future-proof, ever-evolving environment.<hr><h2>How this metaphor applies to the Legacy Internet &amp; Metaverse</h2>Charles' elaborate metaphor is the perfect way to think about the metaverse's structure within the crypto space, the emerging blockchain gaming space, and the mainstream gaming space.&nbsp;However, in order to fully define the metaverse, we have to first look at the current legacy internet. It is made up of millions of websites, but you wouldn't call a single website the internet, would you? Each website is built mainly on Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems and has some form of databases such as MySQL, SQL, Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.Websites are stand-alone or they can pull in bits and pieces from other websites such as a Twitter feed or an RSS feed. Users can jump from one website to another by clicking on weblinks. All of these moving pieces come together to create the legacy internet.&nbsp;Within the legacy internet, we have the Pond, which in my illustration represents everything in the Blockchain space, not just Ethereum or Cardano. There are roughly 100 million people worldwide buying, selling, and trading cryptocurrencies. There are hundreds of millions of transactions on an increasing number of blockchains, including Cardano and Ethereum.<h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81dMwyPf80o">The interview with Meta Money that got me writing​</a></h3>If we continue to mold the original metaphor then the&nbsp;Ocean&nbsp;represents Gamers as a whole. There are roughly 2.5 billion gamers worldwide who play games in arcades, on home computers, consoles, tablets, and mobile phones. Gaming can be done alone or with one's friends in real life or via the internet. Traditional gamers are used to paying to play games. They are used to buying add-ons such as downloadable characters or in-game skins or weapons.This money, once spent, is locked away in the game forever.Within this context metaverse projects, like Cornucopias, are the&nbsp;Island. We are trying to unite the blockchain community and traditional gamers in a virtual utopia where they can play, build and learn together. Cornucopias' metaverse project will be a free-to-play game that will be available on PC, desktop, mobile, consoles, and Smart TVs. Gamers will be rewarded with NFT assets that they can sell for real-life money. Players will also be rewarded for learning new skills in a fun and exciting environment.&nbsp;<hr><h2>Defining "The Metaverse"</h2>Finally, all of these different pieces come together to create the metaverse. I like to think of the metaverse as a second layer that sits on top of the internet. It's like a Web 3.0 app, but I believe there's much more to it than that:<ul><li>It's a transformation of the 2D flat internet to 3D immersive spaces</li><li>You will have millions and millions of Metaverse Islands that form The Metaverse&nbsp;</li><li>For example Decentraland, The Sandbox or Cornucopias are all Metaverse Islands</li><li>Each Island, just like a website, can be built on a specific blockchain technology such as the Ethereum Blockchain or Cardano or the Binance Smart Chain</li><li>Each Metaverse Island will have its own form of native digital currency which is transferable back to its Layer 1 parent</li><li>Each Metaverse Island can be interoperable with other Islands, and gamers' digital assets and even their avatars can be shared using NFT technology</li><li>Gamers will be able to jump to or be teleported from one Metaverse Island to another</li><li>Everything you own in the metaverse is yours and you can sell or trade your things whenever you want</li><li>Gamers, educators, and commercial businesses will flood to be part of this new Web 3.0 paradigm because unexplored opportunities are everywhere</li></ul>To sum it all up: The Metaverse is the natural evolution of the Internet and human interactivity where everything is decentrally owned by the people.<hr><h2>Final Thoughts</h2>The metaverse we think we know or are building today will evolve rapidly into something very different as hardware and software become faster, smaller, portable, connected, and more powerful. Work, play, and entertainment will seamlessly integrate together, and just like the internet, we will eventually take living in the metaverse for granted.Opportunities are everywhere for everyone in the Cornucopias Metaverse from big businesses to home cottage startups - which we were only 12 months ago! It is amazing to be building a company at this time in history that is pioneering and laying down future pathways in this rapidly expanding space.When I started planning Cornucopias back in January 2020 I didn't realize back then how powerful an idea Cornucopias was, and even now looking at the myriad of metaverse projects that are popping up everywhere, Cornucopias still stands out because of the time we took to plan and think about what we wanted to do within our Metaverse Island is really paying off.I would love to know how you define the metaverse! I invite you to please tag me with your ideas on my <a href="https://twitter.com/RobGreig3">official Twitter account</a> using the hashtag #futureofgaming.Thank you for reading my thoughts and I hope to hear from all of you soon.<h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81dMwyPf80o">Brought to you by Cornucopias' Official Community Newsletter</a></h4>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/island-ocean-pond-metaverse-rob-greig/?trackingId=6I73%2FZeZSnyEdKI7ym26FA%3D%3D">This article was originally published on Linkedin.com</a>&nbsp;

The Island, The Ocean, The Pond and the Metaverse

<h2>The highly anticipated blockchain-based Cornucopias NFT gaming metaverse is overwhelmed by huge demand.</h2>Cornucopians,The <a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/">Cornucopias team</a> has been tirelessly tending to the needs of our community after the Limited Edition, First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter NFT sale. It was an intense, internet-breaking experience.If you were present, you helped us take a very bold first step into the future of our metaverse.One thing is clear: we need to seriously beef up our website's architecture to accommodate the unexpected demand. There were two bottlenecks on our databases caused by the massive influx of visitors. Throughout the sale’s duration, our website received 7.2 million API calls!Without getting too technical, our systems were simply overloaded at the starting gate. Even with real-time adjustments, it took a while to get back up to full speed.On the bright side, the collective demand for Cornucopias’ NFTs is no longer speculative. It is real, and it will take our metaverse project camping on the beaches of the moon.<hr><h2>Y’all are legendary, and it was a glorious battle!</h2>If you minted a limited First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter take a moment to celebrate your victory. The mint survived waves of scammers and many thousands of people, who crashed the landing page. A direct link to the mint had to be fired off at the last moment. It was an emergency decision that provided a new entry point into the sale within minutes of the landing page crashing.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Cornucopias team will more clearly communicate contingency measures, like this one, in the future.<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/24XkVDnWTpe8hK9KZxdw 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Unfortunately, the new queue system did not work as intended. It appeared to some users that they had lost their place in line. This was caused by the mint’s reporting system slowing down to a crawl. For those who waited, the system caught up with the backlog and began reporting correct positions as it was throttled back up to full speed. We are truly sorry for any FUD this may have caused you and we are working to ensure this is fixed for the next sale.Thankfully the <a href="https://twitter.com/DerpBirdsNFT/status/1498374454790930433?s=20&amp;t=HYe4YMuDAwPRd4kX1atATQ">Derp Birds team </a>kept the mint going. As soon as problems emerged, the Cornucopias &amp; Derp Birds teams, who were on a live call together, were able to troubleshoot and take action. Despite the market frenzy, our systems did not go down, and we did not have to cancel the mint.By the end of the sale, things were moving along very quickly.This mint was a stunning success from an NFT sale perspective. It was also a powerful learning experience from a UX point of view. We’ve learned from our mistakes, and we are committed to making the next sale as smooth and painless as possible.<hr><h2>Now let’s focus on why everyone should be ECSTATIC.</h2>Despite the difficult mint, 11,900 Bubblejett Sprinters priced at 120 ADA each were completely sold out. Cornucopias’ first-ever sale raised over 1.3 million ADA in about 3 ½ hours. These funds will be used operationally to increase the already blistering development pace and accelerate the support team’s growth. Increasing the Cornucopias team after a successful first mint will station our metaverse in the public’s consciousness as a project with excellent long-term growth potential.&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/IC5BvJheRrmyL9ND1NuI 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Further securing financial stability for your metaverse project is one of the executive team’s main goals. Thanks to this first sale, Cornucopias can continue evolving into the biggest and most innovative blockchain gaming studio of 2022 and beyond.Additionally, the whole mint was eco-friendly for the Cardano network. To reiterate, despite the onslaught of people trying to mint at the same time, our system did not crash. At the peak of the sale, we were processing ~3,100 simultaneous transactions on only 10 Cardano nodes– this is a breakthrough in blockchain technology.These things alone are reasons to celebrate!<hr><h2>Secondary marketplaces are aping into Cornucopias’ NFTs.</h2>Minutes after the mint, First Edition Bubblejett Sprinters were listed and started selling for fabulous amounts of ADA on secondary marketplaces. Some Legendary models have been confirmed as selling for ~5x times their original price. Mythic models (on average) are performing ~40x-45x returns. One <a href="https://opencnft.io/4omZwPwEJ7u3ke5l806eUk1EEBZzr4c9wPmY6w83spmmdRDAloh7jDkENy1Q/asset/e282271ec9251ba23fb123b0f53618b35cf5a6cde4170c003a0ebf13.BJS04400">Mythic Bubblejett Sprinter</a> model produced a jaw-dropping ~83.3x return.Disclaimer: this is not investment advice, nor should it be understood as such. These are extremely bullish developments coming out of Cornucopias’ first mint. This information indicates that there is a real demand for our metaverse’s gaming assets.As of March 2022 Cornucopias’ metaverse project in the TOP 25 All-time Leaderboard of Cardano NFT sales on <a href="https://www.opencnft.io">opencnft.io</a>. Cornucopias’ NFTs have a 7-day trading volume of 1.5 Million ADA.&nbsp;As more details are confirmed about the Bubblejett Sprinter’s in-game utility and its role in the story of Cornucopias’ metaverse, its aftermarket desirability is expected to increase. Cornucopias is a blockchain gaming studio with incredible ambitions that are now all the more tangible thanks to the additional funding our team is securing through NFT sales.In the months to come, Cornucopias will be growing by leaps and bounds. It won’t be much longer before gamers around the world hear about our innovative play-to-earn, build-to-earn, and learn-to-earn mechanics. Someday there could be hundreds of millions of players from around the globe populating our metaverse. &nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/e0AIFGO7RDOMgpMDt7qR 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1220">They will be able to purchase later edition Bubblejetts, but there will never be another model like the Limited Edition, First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter. It is the first of its kind and truly one-of-a-kind.&nbsp;If you’re a gamer or NFT collector and you have one of the limited First Edition Bubblejett Sprinters, keep it close. It will provide you with more in-game utility than you can imagine when the full game is released.If you don’t have a First Edition Bubblejett Sprinter, then hopefully, this article does not cause the floor price on the secondary marketplaces to dramatically increase. Not to worry! We have more transportation NFTs coming very soon, like the GTI Javelin (for the biker fans) and other unique in-game playable assets.<hr><h2>Final Note:</h2>During the Bubblejett Sprinter NFT mint, the Cornucopias community showed the internet what it can really do. As it turns out, that’s the best thing that could have happened to our metaverse project. We learned a whole lot–especially about the true strength, enthusiasm, and determination of the Cornucopias community.We want to express our most sincere thanks to the community. Thank you for your enthusiasm and epic levels of patience.To those of you who participated in the mint despite the initial hiccups, you are the true LEGENDS. You are the MYTHIC diamond handers and HODLers who destroy FUD and make projects like ours succeed. &nbsp;&nbsp;Please subscribe to <a href="https://medium.com/copiwatch">COPIWatch</a> for updates on the upcoming GTI Javelin FE 575 NFT sale.

Cornucopias’ First NFT Sale Raises ₳1.3 Million In Under 3 1/2 Hours!

<h2>Cornucopias’ new single asset stake pool is live.</h2>Hello Cornucopians!It’s been a minute since our last edition, but the COPIWatch team is back to bring you the latest news from within the <a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/">Cornucopias’ metaverse project.</a> With that being said, we’re excited to announce the opening of a brand new <a href="https://tokensfarm.com/copi/staking/2">single asset staking pool</a> for COPI token holders! Our current pool has seen phenomenal success, with close to 90 million COPI tokens staked and a growing number of tokens added to the pool by the day.The current staking pool will be over in about a month, and the Cornucopias team wants to encourage as many COPI token holders as possible to participate in the new stake pool. Please note that we are not suggesting that you unstake unless you have met the requirements for your rewards. As vested tokens become unlocked from our launchpad and pre-sale events, now is the perfect time to add liquidity to the new stake pool so you can earn passive rewards while you HODL your COPI.<hr><h2>New stake pool important facts:</h2>Cornucopias’ new single asset stake pool went live on February 10th, 2022. We will be collaborating with Tokensfarm again, so nothing will change about the staking process or the user interface. The main difference is that the new pool will last for 90 days as opposed to its predecessor’s 61-day lifespan. Also, the new minimum staking time required to receive APY rewards is 60 days instead of 45 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This pool will also be subject to dynamic APY, which means that the APY will adjust to the number of stakers in the pool. More stakers = less APY, but also a stronger, more robust COPI token network. As always, you will have the option to unstake from the new pool before the end of your lock period and withdraw your original assets by waiving your COPI rewards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/Pcp5m48NRqqvJ8rY8XKf 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1024">Our metaverse project’s goal with this new staking pool is to distribute COPI rewards to stakers over a longer period of time, thus allowing our cryptocurrency ecosystem to establish liquidity without over-flooding the market with tokens.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you’re currently participating in the original stake pool, you can continue to keep your assets locked up until the pool comes to a close. It is important to note that these assets will not automatically roll over into the new pool. If you want to put these assets to work in the new staking program, you will have to manually withdraw them from the previous pool and then deposit them in the new pool.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way, as long as you have COPI to contribute and BNB in your wallet to cover transaction fees, you’re all set to participate in the new stake pool!&nbsp;<hr><h2>Why HODL when you can STAKE?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>There are many advantages to contributing your COPI tokens to the community’s stake pool, the least of which is that it's an easy way to create a stream of passive crypto returns by earning APY. Granted, the APY earned from staking COPI is less than if you were to stake LP tokens through our farm yielding program, but the process is much easier. Additionally, single asset staking carries no risk of impermanent loss, and you can withdraw your original assets at any time.In the end, perhaps the best thing about staking your COPI is that is it a tangible, and perhaps the easiest and most productive way to demonstrate your support for the amazing things this metaverse project is trying to accomplish. It’s an opportunity for you, as a fearless Cornucopian, to firmly plant your flag in favor of this metaverse’s future, and send a clear signal to the rest of the cryptocurrency markets that you support and are helping to lead a gaming revolution.&nbsp;<hr><h2>How to participate in the new stake pool:</h2>The first thing is first: you need to have COPI to stake, and you need to have BNB in your wallet to cover the transaction fees, which will be minimal. Once you have your assets ready, proceed with the following:STEP 1. The process is relatively straightforward regardless of which wallet you’re using. Follow this link to our <a href="https://tokensfarm.com/copi/staking/2">new stake pool</a>. Once you arrive, click on the CONNECT WALLET button on the top right-hand corner of the screen.STEP 2. You will be greeted with a window that will present various wallet options prompting you to connect to the platform. Pick the wallet you feel most comfortable using, and make sure that your wallet is connected to the Binance Smart Chain network; otherwise, your default setting will most likely be on the Ethereum Mainnet, and you will not be able to proceed.STEP 3. Once your wallet is connected, you should see your wallet’s icon, along with a green light and your wallet address where the CONNECT WALLET button was on your screen. This confirms that your wallet is connected to the farm and that you are ready to begin depositing funds.STEP 4. Enter the amount of COPI you’d like to deposit from your wallet into the stake pool, or simply hit DEPOSIT MAX. Then click the APPROVE COPI button to review the terms of the stake pool before confirming.&nbsp;<img src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1200/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT" alt="" srcset="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1920/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 1920w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1536/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 1536w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:1024/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 1024w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:768/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 768w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:680/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 680w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:350/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 350w, https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/resize=width:300/Dq2gfrkbTRCT6y1w8VLT 300w" sizes="100vw" width="971">STEP 5. You will be greeted by a window that shows you how much COPI you will be staking, the minimum stake time, the last day to earn APY, and what portion of the total pool you will be contributing. Once you’ve confirmed all these details, hit APPROVE COPI.&nbsp;STEP 6. This will open another window in your wallet where you can review your total transaction fees, as well as other details like contract interaction and the farm’s wallet address. Once you’re ready to stake, approve the transaction on your wallet.&nbsp;STEP 7. You will be greeted by a window that states: “Staking Complete.” Congratulations, you’ve now staked your COPI tokens in the farm’s smart contract!You can monitor the progress of your APY rewards via a small window directly beneath the form field you used to stake your COPI. It is titled: YOUR POSITION and provides important information including how much you have staked, and how to withdraw your assets/rewards.<hr><h2>Final Note:</h2>We’re thankful to be in service of such an incredible community and hope that this new staking pool will be even more successful than the original one. The Cornucopias team is still working hard to perfect our digital assets delivery systems in order to ensure a great user experience when we relaunch the Bubblejett Sprinter NFT sale, so please stay tuned and thank you for your patience!Be sure to follow your favorite <a href="https://linktr.ee/CornucopiasGame">social media family</a> and subscribe to <a href="https://medium.com/copiwatch">COPIWatch</a> for the latest news from within the Cornucopias’ metaverse project!

<h2>Cornucopias To Leverage Derp Birds’ Minting Technology</h2>For Immediate Release: AUSTIN, TX (February 3rd, 2022) - Via COPIWatch - Rapidly expanding metaverse gaming studio, <a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/">Cornucopias, Inc.</a>, is pleased to announce the company's formation of a strategic and technological partnership with <a href="https://derpbirds.io/">Derp Birds</a>, the community-focused gamified NFT project. The initial draft of this announcement focused on the Derp Bird Team's innovative approach to community management, their extensive and unpredictable roadmap, their nine crossovers to include Spacebudz, the upcoming PRED invasion, their Gingerbread rug pull rescue, community rewards for achievement system participants, and the multi-sig technology the team has refined over three drops and 30k+ NFT mints. However, the Derp Birds Team has simply asked the Cornucopias Team to “just put Buff Hearts somewhere in the title, lol.”While the Cornucopias Team does not recommend searching for "Buff Hearts" on work machines, we can tell you that Derp Bird's focus on community and a technologically advanced approach to NFT minting logistics aligns closely with our own corporate vision. Cornucopias is striving to provide a seamless user-first experience for our community as well as members of the public who are new to the metaverse gaming and NFT marketplace spaces.How do the Cornucopias and Derp Bird communities benefit each other?"Cornucopias set out to build the best in class NFT delivery system and has chosen Derp Bird's multi-sig technology and Web 3.0 wallet integration to power multiple Cornucopias NFT deliveries," said Rob Greig, CEO, and co-founder of Cornucopias, Inc.Rob continues: "Of the many technologies under investigation by Cornucopias' corporate and development team, Derp Bird's elegant solution to Cardano's network congestion problem has proven to produce the smallest footprint on the block for NFT minting and sending. Therefore, the Derp Bird's blockchain technology is a great choice to facilitate NFT mints en masse and will be instrumental in fulfilling Cornucopias' vision of pioneering innovation on the Cardano blockchain."Blockchain latency, multiple wallet integration, and best-in-class user experience aside, this relationship enables Cornucopias' in-house development team to work on other aspects of the gaming metaverse.Conversely, Derp Birds has found a powerful ally who will help expand their user base and increase use cases for their innovative technology even further: "Working with Cornucopias enables us to throw AAA-level gaming challenges at our rapidly growing technology platform since the solutions we create for Cornucopias will be leveraged throughout the Derp Bird saga, as well as other projects across the Cardano blockchain,” says Dave “King Derp,” co-founder of Derp Birds. "It's also kind of funny to see such a serious project having to say 'Derp' over and over," he laughs.Dave “King Derp” continues: "From our perspective, there's never been a more exciting time to combine the behemoth demand for digital gaming with the explosive growth of NFTs. In-game farming, metaverse ecosystems, trading card games, achievement systems, and participant rewards have proven successful across hundreds of games over the decades. Pushing NFTs beyond visual art and status flexes is a natural progression for their purpose. It affords players a unique opportunity to interact with their digital property in ways that weren't possible before the blockchain."The mutually beneficial combination of these disruptive market forces is sure to breed innovation previously unseen on the Cardano blockchain. Future collaboration on NFT advancement is paramount for the success of this new technology if we want to leverage the Cardano blockchain's full potential. If a new, longer-term partnership can be formed between Cornucopias and Derp Birds after the initial four mints, it creates new opportunities for Derpetonia (the name for Derp Bird's universe) to find a home in the Cornucopias Metaverse and continue setting the standard for new ways of unifying the blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0 Technologies.The Derp Birds Team just hopes PRED doesn't completely wipe out the Derp Birds.About Cornucopias:Cornucopias is a massive Play-to-Earn, Build-to-Earn, and Learn-to-Earn blockchain-based game in which players can be rewarded with and/or own land, properties, and other NFT-based assets with real-world value, all by playing games in a fun and safe metaverse.Cornucopias combines gaming with real-world commerce and gives opportunities for traditional and e-commerce companies to sell and promote their real-world brands, goods and services to a hard-to-reach audience they have potentially never had access to before.Cornucopias is built on the Unreal 5 games engine, which is compatible with the PC, mobile phone, gaming consoles, and smart TVs, and will be powered, governed, and forever evolving thanks to a growing number of communities including blockchain, Unreal Game Developers, 3D artists and modelers, and general game enthusiasts.About Derp Birds:The Derp Birds are a series of 10,000, hand-drawn, Cardano-based NFT collectibles, each unique and special in their own derpy way. The project is focused on building a set of NFTs that users actually like and want to mint, and has recently focused on the NFT gaming experience for the Cardano Blockchain. Best described as the people at the end of the night who are setting up the after-party when the bar lights come on.Website: <a href="https://derpbirds.io/">derpbirds.io</a> Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/DerpBirdsNFT"> twitter.com/DerpBirdsNFT</a> Discord: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/ftm8fCGUvH">discord.gg/derpbirds</a>

Derp Birds, the project behind Derp Foot Jackets and Buff Hearts, joins forces with Cornucopias, Inc. in a groundbreaking NFT alliance

Decentralized cloud computing provider&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cudos.org/">Cudos</a>&nbsp;is partnering with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cornucopias.io/about/">Cornucopias</a>, a blockchain gaming metaverse, to extend the Cardano infrastructure by creating a new method to build dynamic non fungible tokens (NFT) via the Cudos Network.<h3>Cornucopias</h3>In contrast to static NFTs, the traits and data recorded in a dynamic NFT can continually change through external inputs, thereby extending their utility far beyond collectibles in the gaming industry.The metaverse in Cornucopias, a blockchain-based play-to-earn (P2E), build-to-earn (B2E) and learn-to-earn (L2E) game, allows creators and players to create and trade their own NFTs in-game or on third-party marketplaces, enabling free movement of game assets outside of a single game.Cudos will provide future scalable computing power for running games on Cornucopias as part of the partnership. “As Play-To-Earn platforms like Cornucopias evolve, there is a need for a huge amount of digital infrastructure to run these metaverses and to render NFTs with high-quality graphics. Additionally, these metaverses will need distributed network with low latency, a gap that Cudos can fill with our decentralized cloud computing network,” Cudos founder and CEO Matt Hawkins&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cudos.org/blog/cudos-to-power-the-metaverse-through-nfts-founder-ceo-matt-hawkins-shares-diffusion-digital/">commented</a>.There are over 20 million gamers in Nigeria, and the market for app-based mobile gaming in the West African country is estimated to be worth approximately&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/555316/nigeria-mobile-games-market-value/">$126 million</a>.“The potential for NFTs in gaming (and other applications) is enormous but the technology is in its infancy and has restrictions that need to be enhanced to build a global blockchain standard that will allow Cornucopias to be the NFT metaverse it needs to be. This joint venture will not only allow us to expand our game as planned, but eventually, it will allow other blockchains to benefit from our research and innovation,” said Cornucopias CEO Rob Greig.Rob went on to say, “The metaverse and infrastructure model designed by the highly experienced network team within Cornucopias gives us the ability to evolve in ways we have not even thought about yet. Through our partnership with Cudos, we are well-positioned to make headway towards achieving our goals of scalability, flexibility and on-boarding players from every corner of the world.Players on the Cornucopias platform will be able to enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience together, on all devices, by utilizing game servers spread across distributed nodes on Cudo’s layer-two scalable compute platform. Once implemented Cornucopias will have unprecedented scalability the likes of which can only be seen currently on Centralized Cloud Services such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure.We are also creating a learn-to-earn (L2E) platform that through gamifying the education process will reward students – this is helped enormously with distributed geographical storage,” Rob Greig said.<h3>Strategic partnerships</h3>The strategic partnership between Cudos and Cornucopias aligns with the vision of&nbsp;<a href="https://tingogroup.com/">Tingo</a>, which has the potential to install Cornucopias’ play-to-earn (P2E)mini-games on over 10 million handsets in Nigeria. Users in rural areas of Nigeria can be educated about farming practices through their P2E agri-education games, another way for Cudos to create additional revenue streams for Tingo’s customer base. In addition to agricultural games, Cornucopias will build other games that link back to the players main Cornucopias gaming account, allowing for further P2E rewards for Tingo customers.Cudos’ collaboration with Cornucopias builds on its existing&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/cudos-and-tingo-vow-to-end-the-poverty-premium-with-a-huge-partnership">partnership with Tingo</a>&nbsp;to tackle the poverty premium by enabling over 10 million Nigerians to run monetization applications on their smartphones. The vision at Cudos is to create a fully inclusive digital ecosystem by giving users in rural Nigeria an opportunity to earn passive income by utilizing spare computing capacity on their smartphones. The Cudos token can be used as a currency for payments within this ecosystem.And the utility of Cudos extends much beyond as holders can use their tokens to make payments on Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Etsy across 11 global markets thanks to a partnership with&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/pay-for-amazon-and-ebay-goods-in-11-markets-with-cudos-via-shoppingio">Shopping.io</a>. Other strategic partnerships include integrating the Cudos network with Algorand through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cudos.org/blog/cudos-and-algorand-to-be-connected-by-glitter-finances-cross-chain-bridge/">Glitter Finance’s cross-chain services</a>. The Algorand bridge integration in Q1 2022 will be followed by bridging Cudos to the Polygon, Solana and Terra networks next year.<h3>Mainnet in January 2022</h3>The past few months have been exciting at Cudos Network with its incentivized testnet,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cudos.org/blog/a-giant-leap-for-the-industry-as-were-launching-phase-one-of-our-incentivised-testnet-project-artemis/">Project Artemis</a>, reaching the third phase,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cudos.org/blog/project-artemis-phase-three-final-chance-to-join-and-claim-juicy-rewards/">Armstrong</a>.

DATELINE CITY, St. (Dec. 14, 2021) -- via InvestorWire -- 2021 has been a groundbreaking year for the Cardano Blockchain as it releases its next phase of the decentralized infrastructure that will change the world forever. As followers of the Cardano project will be aware, CEO Charles Hoskinson has made it his personal goal to “bank the unbanked” and has a personalized mission to change the fortunes of the 1.2 billion people who live in Africa. Joining Cardano on this incredible mission are a number of high-profile projects, two of which heavyweights, Cornucopias and Tingo International Holdings – majority shareholder of Tingo Inc (OTC: IWBB), which recently acquired Tingo Mobile PLC in Nigeria – have joined forces to create an extremely powerful partnership focused on growing the economy of the West African country of Nigeria.Tingo has already delivered significant social impact in Nigeria with its unique rural communities-based business model. Tingo has 10 million customers, primarily Nigerians working in the critically important agricultural sector, supplying them all with mobile phones.Tingo is a mission-driven company that aims to be Africa’s leading agri-fintech player by transforming rural farming communities to connect through a unique device-as-a-service model, providing access to an extensive ecosystem that meets their complete needs, from inputs, agronomy, off-take, fintech and digital agri-marketplace, which delivers sustainable income for customers in an impactful way. Dr. Chris Cleverly, Tingo President said:“Axie Infinity has grown 19,000% to a $7.5 billion market cap in under 12 months. Forty percent of Axie players live in the Philippines. Tingo has nearly 10 million smartphone subscribers in Nigeria, where there are estimated to be over 20 million active e-gamers. We believe ‘Play to Earn’ and ‘Learn to Earn’ will have huge traction in Nigeria to rival Axie’s in the Philippines.''Sharing the same vision as Charles Hoskinson, Cornucopias is more than one of those average metaverse projects that are popping up everywhere. Heavily researched, Cornucopias has positioned itself to combine technologies that will not only result in an amazing Play-to-Earn game but also combine Build-to-Earn and Learn-to-Earn functionality, making Cornucopias one of the first projects to truly understand and harness the power of the metaverse. This will allow land, properties and other NFT assets to be truly owned by actual players in a decentralized world and not large corporate dinosaurs.The strategic partnership between Cornucopias and Tingo aims to deliver on the vision of Charles Hoskinson by bringing the Cardano Blockchain-based Cornucopias Play-to-Earn mobile phone mini-games to the 10 million customers of Tingo.Global gaming revenue was $174 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $314 billion by 2026. Previously, Minister for Youth and Sports, Mr. Sunday Dare, has said: “We are working on a plan that would produce, for the first time, an industry-based sports policy that will turn sports into business. We are on the verge of launching e-gaming Sports in Nigeria. It is the most suitable for the post COVID-19 era. Globally, it is a $13 billion business.”There are over 20 million gamers in Nigeria, and the gaming revenue for mobile phone games in 2023 is expected to be around $126 million.This partnership will allow existing Tingo customers to install a growing set of mini-games that are being developed by the Cornucopias team. The unique mini-games will be fully integrated into the main Cornucopias metaverse and will be available to download and play by all mobile phone users in Nigeria and the rest of the world, creating a massive, diverse ecosystem on a global scale that has never been seen before. Players will be able to enjoy the Play-to-Earn rewards in a fun, safe and enjoyable environment.The Cornucopias development team is working closely with Tingo, which upgrades the 10-million-and-growing mobile devices of its customers every three years, to ensure the mini-games will work on as many of the mobile phones in Nigeria as possible.Commenting on the partnership, Cornucopias CEO Rob Greig states: “When we set out to build the free Play-to-Earn Cornucopias metaverse, our vision was to allow players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to benefit from our technology and to reimagine a world where gaming, education, community and personal growth can thrive in a safe, evolving, all-encompassing metaverse. Our partnership with Tingo is extremely exciting, as it allows us to take huge steps toward achieving our goals.”The Play-to-Earn mobile phone mini-games are just the first of many initiatives in which Cornucopias will be partnering with Tingo, with more amazing announcements to come soon.Josh Jones, CMO of Cornucopias, says: “Cornucopias will create a Learn-to-Earn programme aimed at Tingo customers with a focus on coding, blockchain, DeFi, IOT, UX/UI design, etc., but also including agri-tech, agri-business and agriculture. We see innovation in education as a crucial part of value creation in the metaverse and aim to utilize existing partnerships to add value to Tingo customers.”The metaverse won’t be built overnight, and both Cornucopias and Tingo are showing how partnerships with different technologies can combine together to change the lives of millions of people using blockchain technology.About CornucopiasCornucopias is a massive Play-to-Earn, Build-to-Earn, and Learn-to-Earn blockchain-based game in which players can be rewarded with and/or own land, properties and other NFT-based assets with real world value, all by playing games in a fun and safe metaverse.Cornucopias combines gaming with real-world commerce and gives opportunities for traditional and e-commerce companies to sell and promote their real-world brands, goods and services to a hard-to-reach audience they have potentially never had access to before.Cornucopias is built on the Unreal 5 games engine, which is compatible with the PC, mobile phone, gaming consoles and smart TVs, and will be powered, governed and forever evolving thanks to a growing number of communities including blockchain, Unreal Game Developers, 3D artists and modellers and general game enthusiasts. About Tingo International HoldingsTingo is a unique agri-fintech company using smartphones to deliver a marketplace that enables 10 million subscribers to manage their commercial activities of growing and selling their products to market participants.

This expertise extends far beyond a simple technology collaboration - the partnership affords Cornucopias first-mover advantage as one of the flagship entities listing NFTs on the Lovelace Marketplace. Mutually beneficial promotions, cross-platform discounts, and exclusive NFTs remain on the table for inhabitants of the game and the Lovelace ecosystem.This collaboration offers Lovelace a firm connection to an enthusiastic community of highly motivated gamers. By introducing further value to the Cornucopias ecosystem, Lovelace enjoys intrinsic exposure to subsequent games launched on the platform. As the game's population continues to grow, the overlap of value flowing to the Lovelace Marketplace grows in tandem. These confluences of value demonstrate the massive opportunity in fostering mutual wins amongst metaverse participants.&nbsp;<h3>Pain Point in current Crypto-gaming space</h3>The concept of NFTs and the metaverse has only just begun to penetrate the mainstream. The ensuing social frenzy has led many developers to sprint through the development process to take advantage of this digital renaissance. Unfortunately, these accelerated timetables often compromise quality for speed. Many of the showcased games inhabiting the early metaverse barely rival mid-tier mobile games of the past decade. This comparative lack of quality regarding metaverse games fails to sufficiently capture the seamless functionality possible through thoughtful game development and integration of these new and novel features.&nbsp;Token and NFT utility shouldn’t just be an afterthought or a marketing gimmick - if they are, the sustainability of a given project deserves questioning. With crypto markets already breaking all-time highs and social consciousness towards these technologies experiencing unprecedented hype, game developers can take a slice of the pie with relative ease. Such projects miss the historic potential offered by the metaverse. Building scalable, long-term gameplay environments represents the new digital highways onboarding users into this revolutionary new virtual landscape.&nbsp;Cornucopias cuts through the noise with a laser focus on optimizing the metaverse experience for our end users and was built using a Blockchain first mentality. We firmly believe in conveying the deep value of this technology stack in an accessible and sustainable manner to the wider public. Cornucopias combines a carefully balanced combination of recreational environment and utilitarian focus.

We have so many varied use cases for NFTs, and this Lovelace partnership provides tooling infrastructure that enables us to focus on what we love- gaming and innovation!” Josh JonesWith nearly a century’s worth of collective experience, the Cornucopias team possesses an incredible amount of diverse talent. Serial entrepreneurs and developers, all team members share a deep passion for how blockchain technology continues to improve the world. Robert Greigs’ decades worth of experience, developing software and building teams affirms his deep technological expertise, while Josh Jones’ rich business development experience provides clear direction in a highly dynamic environment. Geoff Hewett commands significant experience with operations, securing data and protecting users, meshing seamlessly with Ant Renick’s decades’ worth of experience in system analytics and quality assurance. The Cornucopias team’s professional and practical expertise make them the perfect force for trailblazing a clear path into the metaverse.<h3>About Cornucopias</h3>Cornucopias contains immersive metaverse environments that enchant players of all types and ages. Zones like Age of the Samurai allow players to experience rich lore and engaging gameplay styles while benefiting from Cornucopias’ play-to-earn model.

Advertise new products, host promotional events, offer customer support services - endless possibilities await businesses who pioneer this emerging customer touchpoint. Companies can even offer real-world business services to potential clients in the Cornucopias metaverse, allowing for tangible touchpoints in the virtual world.&nbsp;NFTs serve as a powerful tool, accomplishing a clear delineation of ownership over virtual assets. Players can earn NFTs through gameplay, buy and sell them on the open market, or trade them with other players. One of the most impactful aspects of the Cornucopias metaverse is the ability for players to use their NFTs dynamically in-game and sell these NFTs for both in-game and real-world value. Currently, users can engage with the familiar and enjoyable gameplay environments found within Cornucopias. As the Cornucopias metaverse evolves, gameplay styles akin to Minecraft and Roblox will take shape and remain in active development.&nbsp;Players maintain direct ownership over the direction of the Cornucopias metaverse. A decentralized autonomous organization governs the decision-making process, providing users who own certain types of tokens or NFTs the ability to steer the ship of Cornucopias’ development. We believe players themselves should have a tangible voice in this virtual world - as the heart of the ecosystem and Cornucopias metaverse. We look forward to collaborating with the community on future developments for years to come.<h3>About Lovelace World</h3>Lovelace has begun to break down the barriers to entry for the metaverse via their seamless cross-chain toolkit that allows any developer to create a virtual environment with ease.

Lovelace World Partners with Cornucopias

The rapid acceleration of technological innovation has touched every industry on Earth. Nokia released the<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/now/8-iconic-cell-phone-designs-130000531.html"> beloved 3310 mobile phone</a> in the year 2000, allowing users to make phone calls, play snake, and even check their emails on their mobile device for an inflation-adjusted price of around $250. Nowadays, you can buy a device with similar functionality for pennies on the dollar. The rise of blockchain and other decentralized financial applications makes sense in the context of this snowballing innovation.However, while interest in blockchain technology has accelerated in recent years, global adoption has begun to hit a proverbial wall. While the rise of decentralized finance offers a lightning-fast, casino-like investment experience, your average global citizen still scratches their head when asked to explain blockchain. The blockchain industry must face the reality that the total addressable market for decentralized financial applications, while large, remains far smaller than the total global population, all of which will benefit immensely from utilizing this new technology.This reality begs an important question – what can we learn from other successful technologies’ adoption journeys? The most relevant and insightful technology to examine in this context comes in the form of video games. Horseshoes and cornhole are free and offer an enjoyable outdoor experience. So why does nothing scratch the itch for a good arcade game quite like a few rounds of Galaga or Donkey Kong, even if it costs a quarter per play?At their core, analog and digital games retain a fundamental difference resulting in this disparity. Video games leverage a psychological phenomenon known as the engagement loop to keep users perpetually engaged with their content. The engagement loop consists of positive gameplay feedback, player motivation to make actionable changes regarding said feedback, and subsequent actionable changes that result in more feedback. This hamster wheel of incentives creates a flow state where the user derives deep satisfaction from incremental improvements in their gameplay over time.The results of this psychological event are hard to overstate. When Nolan Bushnell and Al Alcorn dropped the first Pong machine off at their friend’s bar in 1972, it quickly stopped working. The machine had become<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2000/03/01/236409/the-sweet-pong-of-success/"> filled to the brim with quarters</a> in mere hours – people were hooked. There exists a deeply ingrained human desire to recognize patterns and receive rewards for exploiting those patterns more efficiently over time. Pong and subsequent video games happened to deliver the perfect concoction of psychological responses to engender these actions, all while having a ton of fun!So why must we reinvent the wheel when tackling bringing blockchain to the global population? The meteoric rise of NFTs in the public eye shows that the public wants to get involved with blockchain. The concept of digital art “clicks” for almost anyone – copies are finite, and demand drives the price of a given work of art. Unfortunately, most NFTs just sort of sit around as collector’s items. If we interpolate the engagement loop found in video games with the concept of NFTs and other functionality afforded by blockchain, things get interesting.Cornucopias hit the bullseye of deeply enjoyable interactions with blockchain technology by offering users a virtual world in which they can interact in dynamic ways. While virtual worlds aren’t new, the rich functionality offered by blockchain allows for far greater levels of interactions with other players and in-game environments. So much so that Cornucopias’ play-to-earn mechanics allow users to profit from their playtime, offering equity to the most dedicated players while also rewarding casual engagement over time.This emerging and rapidly evolving virtual landscape is called the metaverse. To many extents, it mirrors and expands upon the existing blockbuster gameplay fostered by Pong all those years ago. The total addressable market of “people who like to have fun” encompasses just about every human on the planet. With the public signaling an intense interest in getting involved with blockchain, Cornucopias offers the perfect opportunity. With virtually zero barriers to entry, players can enjoy themselves while interacting in the Cornucopias metaverse so seamlessly that they’ll likely forget they’re using a blockchain at all.Blockchain has grown immensely since its inception over a decade ago. Now, the mass adoption train has begun to leave the station, thanks in no small part to the engagement loop. By utilizing proven psychological phenomenon and learning from other technologies’ journeys to mass market adoption, Cornucopias stands at the forefront of this growing momentum. With Visa having purchased a CryptoPunk NFT, blockchain environments have begun to look a lot less intimidating to a general audience.We’re still in the first chapters of blockchain’s story, with an amazing narrative taking shape before our eyes. The thoughtful combination of the metaverse, blockchain, and psychological phenomena like the engagement loop will inevitably revolutionize how humans interact digitally. Much like how the engagement loop remains an underexplored aspect of video games, the technical functionality of blockchain and its capabilities require sufficient obfuscation for the public to grasp its revolutionary nature. Cornucopias’ experienced and well-connected team of innovators represents a quantum leap in the general applicability of blockchain technology.
