WAGMI Defense Partners w/ ImmutableX to Power their NFT Marketplace 🔥

WAGMI Defense is taking a slightly different approach than the crypto games that have launched over the past year. Instead of relying on complicated tokenomics, P2E and expensive NFTs and land, WAGMI is taking the KISS principal (Keep It Simple Stupid) and modeling this mobile responsive tower defense game after traditional gaming companies, only with web3 elements that make it more interesting to players (in-game assets are owned by the gamer in the form of NFTs and a PvP skill-based contest system will be rolled out as well). It is the mass adoption mentality that is driving WAGMI Games to make these decisions. That means very low barriers to entry, micro transactions, and low-cost in-game assets. But in order to achieve this, the cost of gas (Ethereum) simply had to be virtually eliminated. That is where ImmutableX's Layer2 solution became the solution that rose to the top.

"To achieve mass adoption, you need a great game, seamless onboarding, for ‘non-crypto’ gamers. and most of all, gas-less transactions'" states WAGMI Games CEO Ian Bentley. "ImmutableX / Starkware not only provides the ETH L2 technology, but also a platform and team to help us get to market faster and cheaper."

With security, mass adoption and simplicity for gamers in mind, WAGMI Games has partnered with Immutable X. This symbolizes a landmark for WAGMI Games as it eliminates gas fees or the need to own a crypto wallet to participate in crypto gaming. Not only does this partnership provide an effortless transition for normal gamers who have not touched crypto before, it ensures safety as provided by the L2 network.

RadioShack's Is Wildin' On Twitter 😈

RadioShack has risen from the dirt with its extremely off-the-cuff online presence. It turns out resurrection is possible, and now this antiquated electronics convenience store has grown some legs on Twitter with online beef and eyebrow-raising posts. Who’s likely given it a new life? Well, Tai Lopez. The primary takeaway from RadioShack and its new presence on Twitter is that you should very well enjoy its humorous broadcasts, but do not let that make you forget the real reason this account is acting up.

Tai Lopez is a triple-a rug master and in many eyes appears to have no other intention other than to extract money at scale from every corner of the internet. He has already pillaged victims within Web3 with his mentor-based NFT project. The scam he played for his "Original Garage Social Club” NFT project was comprised of convincing people that mentorship is essential for entrepreneurial growth, and then positioning himself as that mentor, while finally requesting a ton of ETH in order to become the supposed mentor. Tai bought RadioShack and it appears that his play is to cash in on the fundamental humor of RadioShack Tweeting ridiculous things and then leveraging its virility to offer crypto solutions, such as performing the work of a crypto-exchange. We don't have a crystal ball but this will (likely) be yet again a cash grab and should be avoided at all costs.
