Binance listed OP token Wednesday. GOB token is hot 

 

Binance is listing the Optimism (OP) token on its platform today. The exchange will also open trading for OP/BTC, OP/USDT, and OP/BUSD trading pairs. Optimism is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. It can support all Ethereum applications. This platform utilizes optimistic rollup technology to group batches of transactions and saves on gas fees. The founder team created OP as its native governance token. It will use this coin primarily for governing the protocol.

The company based the Optimism Collective on the idea that healthy public goods create a valuable and thriving ecosystem. The economics of this ecosystem will generate value for three constituencies. Builders and contributors will gain directly from retroactive public goods funding and the markets it enables. In addition, builders will benefit symbiotically: it’s better to build in an ecosystem with well-funded tools, apps, education, and infrastructure.

Token holders will profit through the productive re-deployment of sequencer revenue. According to the team, sequencer revenue is primarily directed to fund public goods, which creates ecosystem value, along with driving demand for blockspace. And lastly, users and community members will gain from ongoing airdrops of OP, as well as from the benefit public goods provide and from project incentives made possible by OP ecosystem funding.

Funding for the OP economy comes from investors’ ownership of the Optimism network and the value of its blockspace. Currently, funding comes directly from the centralized sequencer. However, in the future, funding can accrue directly to the protocol. Some users will sell the right to participate in Optimism’s decentralized sequencing network, while others acquire it. The right to blockspace will be a sustainable source of revenue. It drives OP’s economic model and grows with the network itself.

 

What makes this project stand out among similar ones? 

Communities benefit from all sorts of public goods, from city infrastructure to education to open-source software. But many markets fail to provide adequate funding and support for various public goods. That’s where Optimism takes a step forward. It aims to build a sustainable funding source into the mechanisms of the network itself.

The company will distribute direct or auctioned sequencer revenue back to the ecosystem primarily through Retroactive Public Goods Funding. That will create strong incentives for users to build for the public good of the Optimism Collective.

Moreover, the Citizens’ House will vote quarterly on distributions of funds to teams, individuals, projects, or communities. However, the latter will have to provide subjective value over a specified time period. Such an approach guarantees community members get rewards for the positive impact of their work.

RetroPGF will also provide possible exit liquidity for public goods projects. That opens up a market for early investment in these projects. As a result, builders will be able to get compensation for their positive contributions without generating direct revenue; And they will have the opportunity to raise capital to bootstrap based on the early potential of their project.

In the long term, the company expects this mechanism to drive a wide range of pro-social downstream effects. The Collective will capture these opportunities and expand its network through frequent experimentation and iteration.

 

Demand for blockspace is rising. How will that help? 

Funding public goods drive growth, along with network revenues. In the first round of RetroPGF, the company funded a set of hugely valuable developer tools and core infrastructure. Consequently, the team got an ecosystem that is easier to build on, learn about, and connect to. All that is also driving application usage and generating more demand for blockspace. The latter gives creators numerous opportunities to profit. After all, they will need blockspace to create their own products.

There is a rich design space out there. Optimism’s governance aims to create conditions for experimentation for its users. The team draw heavily on the work of Vitalik, Ostrom, and others to make sure funding for public goods is maximally effective, efficient, and safe.

 

Goons of Balatroon is an exciting new game. What does it offer? 

Goons of Balatroon is a new and interesting digital collectable card game. According to the plot, good factions fight against each other to win $GOB token rewards. GOB is the platform’s native utility token. The company will start its sale in June 2022. This ERC20 ICO token is already popular. Its price will be 0.05 USD per GOB during the initial coin offering. The total supply is 750,000,000, but only 16% will be available for purchase.

Goons of Balatroon is a funny Play-2-Earn game, and it also features the NFT universe. Player factions will fight each other for the control of Balatroon, using Goon Cards. Among its creator team are marketing and business development experts, along with members with extensive experience in web3 and game development. The team is genuinely interested in trading card games and e-sports.

The company aims to reach top positions within the fast-growing GameFi sector. It plans to use the token sale as an additional fundraising tool to support its ambitious goals. There are various serious problems that GameFi faces currently. For example, the NFT and P2E gaming industry is plagued by hit-and-run gimmicks and Ponzi schemes.

There are also minimal branding initiatives to further validate projects outside of the crypto space, as well as grow wider audiences and fan bases. Furthermore, most Play-2-Earn NFT games on the Defi market share a common issue of a low player base. The main reason is the expensive initial barrier to entry to the ecosystem. Gamers need to pay large sums of money to acquire NFTs before playing the game and earning back their initial investment.

 

What are Goons of Balatroon’s solutions?

The company offers a Play-2-Earn game that is focused on real players, not just investors. It wants to bring a combined Free-2-Play-2-Earn experience to a wide audience of dedicated gamers; Especially if the players look for a substitute for the well-known top card strategy game titles like Hearthstone. The latter provides no ownership of assets and no real rewards for players, unlike Goons of Balatroon, though.

The team will also offer F2P-friendly onboarding for new members. That will facilitate a pathway to enhanced rewards via NFT upgrades that support the original collection.
