Comprehensive Guide to Understand Fantasy Top, The Ethereum Game Running on Blast
Fantasy Top has gained control of Crypto Twitter with an Ethereum nonfungible token (NFT) game on Blast, a layer-2 network. This is what everyone must know.
Fantasy Top is developed on Blast, an Ethereum layer-2 network, and takes the premise of fantasy football and other fantasy sports games. However, it swaps out pro athletes for crypto influencers.
Fantasy Top has had an excellent start, leading industry talk while driving increasing trading volume. It has also become a very profitable application or protocol in crypto.
Fantasy Top Concept Explained
Fantasy Top embraces the fundamental premise of fantasy football, baseball, or soccer. It swaps in 120 traders, crypto influencers, personalities, and content creators. Every ‘protagonist’ is based on a Crypto Twitter resident, and their nonfungible token (NFT) cards are produced on Blast and Ethereum layer-2 platforms.
One can purchase or trade the nonfungible tokens, which come in several scarcity levels. Besides, they can be improved by obtaining multiple copies of a lower-level version and trading them up.
In Fantasy Top competitions, one picks a lineup of five-owned nonfungible cards and locks it in. Scoring depends on Twitter engagement for the industry’ heroes,’ augmented by the card’s specific core multipliers.
Thus, a strategy involves purchasing cards and selecting the most appropriate cross-section of crypto Twitter.
So far, rewards entail Ethereum and Blast Gold points that will be moved to the network’s imminent Blast token drop and FAN points that might finally result in future benefits on Fantasy Top.
Understanding NFTs Role in Playing Fantasy Top
Fantasy Top needs nonfungible token cards to play. At least five cards will be required to lock a line for a competition.
Playing the game without the nonfungible tokens is no alternative at this stage. Fantasy Top sells packs of cards whose pricing depends on demand, or a person can buy individual cards from the application’s nonfungible token marketplace.
Fantasy Top is played through the website, and similar to the rest of the fantasy sports, a person is required to set their lineup and witness the points come in. The leaderboard placement directs rewards.
Rewards Won in Fantasy Top
With such considerable demand, early rewards are incredibly significant. In the first ‘major competition,’ Fantasy Top served up a price pool comprising Ethereum worth more than $500,000, potentially Blast Gold worth more than $2M, and other incentives.
Further, crypto influencers who have become in-game stars are seeing significant benefits. The influencers are paid a share of the total pack sales and a share of the marketplace fees.
Less than one week following the unveiling of Fantasy Top’s mainnet on May 1, the game paid out Ethereum worth $1.25M to heroes, along with Blast Gold points approximated to be nearly $25000.
End Thoughts
Fantasy Top is early and lively. However, the team has already hinted at plans, and there are twists to solve.
A week following the unveiling, the game included leagues, dividing players into Bronze and Silver classifications based on their performance. According to a tweet, rewards will differ by league title, with them ‘becoming progressively tilted towards the top performers.’
In the future, additional in-game heroes, an enhanced scoring model, a ‘whole sub competitions collection,’ and other ‘surprises’ will be witnessed.
As Fantasy Top tries to expand, it will also be required to handle the immediate issue of users/ external observers’ botting’ tweets from the heroes. Additionally, there is the issue of users manipulating the scoring.
Some heroes have lamented being the botters’ target, and Fantasy Top opted to conclude its initial major competition because of manipulation issues. Fantasy Top’s development is based on social media engagement. As such, this must be addressed if it aims to extend this early excitement into a feasible game model.
