Ethereum NFT brand Doodles has launched a colorful collaboration with Kellogg’s Froot Loops, releasing 500 limited-edition cereal boxes priced at $50 each—though without the actual cereal. Each box features the brand’s pastel characters alongside the iconic rainbow toucan and comes with a digital collectible NFT minted on Coinbase’s Base network.Some boxes were signed by Doodles CEO and artist Scott “Burnt Toast” Martin, with one including an original sketch. The drop sold out within hours, marking another successful crossover for Doodles, which has previously partnered with McDonald’s, Adidas, and Pharrell Williams.Martin said the collaboration reflects Doodles’ mission to combine creativity and nostalgia: “It’s about fun, color, and not taking ourselves too seriously.”

So apparently Line Next (yeah, the same LINE behind the Kaia blockchain) just casually announced that Lordnine: Infinite Class — Smilegate’s MMORPG — moved $15 million worth of NFTs in its first month. Yep, fifteen million. For in-game swords, armor, and probably some shiny hats. The game’s live in 35 countries (KR, JP, TW, TH, PH, etc.) and uses a Tether-based stablecoin on Kaia — because why use game gems when you can have USDT with extra steps? What’s wild is that the in-game rewards are also paid in this Tether flavor, with a current prize pool of $250K. And apparently, 90% of those rewards got spent back into the game. Only 10% cashed out — which is either bullish user engagement or just people too hooked to withdraw. But here’s the kicker:💰 Average revenue per paying user: $1,500 — that’s 28% higher than Web2 gamers.📈 Tether now accounts for 41% of trading volume, up from 5% last month.🔁 Retention at 89% after 30 days, 11x higher than “regular gamers.” So yeah, Web3 gaming might not be the graveyard everyone thought — as long as you slap Tether rewards on top of your MMORPG and call it “player-driven economy.” Line says they’re dropping exclusive tradable items next to keep the hype rolling. Translation: prepare your wallets. TL;DR:Gamers said they hate NFTs, but $15M of them apparently didn’t get the memo. Link to the marketplace: Line Next Market Not financial advice, but… maybe play-to-earn is just play-to-churn-and-spend-back-in.

So… Moku wants us to gamble on cardboard AI jpegs, but hey—it’s “no loss,” right? Alright fam, here’s the latest degen opportunity (or “community-driven revolution,” depending on how many RON bags you’re holding): Ronin-based NFT project Moku just dropped details for their Grand Arena pre-sale. Basically, they’re selling Season 1 Booster Boxes that hold 30 packs = 150 cards if you crack ‘em all. Some cards are “rare” and exclusive to presale buyers—so yes, FOMO is officially activated. Now, the fun part: You don’t just buy boxes. Nope. You buy raffle tickets priced at 100 RON (~$47). It’s “no-loss” because either: You win, congrats, here’s your box. You lose, but your tickets can be swapped later for other shiny stuff in the “second chance shop” (Moki NFTs, gems, champion slots, etc). Important dates: Oct 8 – Oct 14 → No-loss raffle open. Early buyers (first 24h) get bonus giveaways, including “champion slots” (basically deciding which Moki ends up in the card packs). Oct 15 – Oct 17 → Second chance shop opens. So your “loser” tickets become consolation prizes. Moku co-founder out here saying they sold 93k tickets and pulled $10.4M last time, so “this takes things to the next level.” Translation: “Please buy our JPEG lottery, we promise this one will change fantasy sports forever.” TL;DR: Buy tickets with RON. Maybe win booster boxes. If not, get side prizes. Early birds get better worms. All of us are still playing gacha. So, are you aping in for the “next generation of daily fantasy entertainment,” or just gonna sit back and watch another wave of RON whales flex rare AI goblin cards in Discord?

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 28, its lowest level since March, raising concerns over investor confidence even as Bitcoin and Ethereum show signs of recovery.Bitcoin briefly fell below $110,000 and Ethereum under $4,000 last week before rebounding to $114,000 and $4,100 respectively. Analysts at Bitwise noted that the “extreme fear” phase may signal market consolidation, with Bitcoin holding near key support levels and still posting a 3.7% gain in September. Trading firms suggest this weakness could set the stage for an “Uptober” rally, with rising open interest and leveraged longs returning to the futures market. Still, a sustained bullish trend may only be confirmed if Bitcoin breaks above $115,000. 

 Hyperliquid launched its new NFT collection, Hypurr, on the HyperEVM mainnet, sparking major market interest. The 4,600-piece collection reached a floor price of $68,900, generating around $45 million in transactions within hours. One standout sale, Hypurr #21, fetched nearly $470,000.Distributed mainly to early supporters, the collection was designed to honor Hyperliquid’s community and features unique artistic designs. The launch also boosted the price of Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, by 4.65% to $47.14.The strong demand provided a much-needed boost to the broader NFT market, which has struggled since its 2021 peak.   

So apparently Mythical Games’ “fastest ever” mobile game, Pudgy Party, has already clocked over 1,000,000 installs across Apple & Google in under a month. Not bad for throwing penguins around in a party game. 🐧🎉 But here’s the spicy bit: the Mythos blockchain (which powers Pudgy Party, FIFA Rivals, NFL Rivals, and DMarket for CS:GO skins trading) just broke its all-time-high in daily active unique wallets — 112,249 DAUWs on Sept 29th, beating its March peak of ~109k. And yeah, sure, “most of the activity isn’t people actually playing games,” but hey, who cares as long as wallets are moving and chains are pumping, right? 🤷‍♂️ Luca Netz (CEO of Pudgy Penguins’ IP company) is already chest-thumping about how “this is just the beginning” and how slapping a viral IP on web3 infrastructure = rocket fuel. 🚀 💭 My take: 1M installs in a month is legit impressive for a web3-linked mobile game (considering most crypto games struggle to get past their Discord server). Wallet ATH is a good look… though let’s be real, some of that “activity” is probably wash-y, bot-y, or marketplace churn. Still, perception = momentum. If this pace continues, Mythos might actually pull off what most “gaming blockchains” promise but never deliver: real mainstream traction. But hey, what do I know? Maybe it’s the next Axie, maybe it’s the next Flappy Bird on-chain. Either way, the penguins are vibin’. 🐧💎✋ So… bullish or exit liquidity incoming? 👀

Hyperliquid launched its Hypurr NFT collection on the HyperEVM mainnet, generating strong early demand. The 4,600-piece drop quickly hit millions in trading volume, with one NFT selling for nearly $470,000. Transaction activity totaled around $45 million, boosting both community interest and the price of Hyperliquid’s token HYPE, which rose 4.65% after the release. The launch marks a positive turn for the NFT market, which has been in decline since its 2021 peak.

So remember RavenQuest? Yeah, that Immutable MMORPG that dropped back in March. The one that peaked at a whopping 15k DAUWs (Daily Active Wallet Users for those new here), and is now cruising at about 3k DAUWs. Not exactly the “next WoW on-chain” people were hyping. But wait, there’s a new play: RavenIdle, launching October 11. Think of it like RavenQuest’s little cousin who decided to skip the gym grind and just chill in a Telegram chat. No big PC download, no sweating 4-hour raids—just log in, click a few buttons, and you’re done in 5 minutes. Basically, DeFi degen attention span–approved. Couple spicy bits: Referral system with a $10k prize pool (because nothing screams “organic growth” like bribing your friends). $70k prize pool + $570k worth of QUEST tokens/NFTs tied to their 28-day battlepass. Free marketing hack: call it “seasonal liquidity mining but for swords.” Same class system, autobattles, farming, crafting, trading, blah blah. All tied back into QUEST (which, let’s be honest, is the actual boss fight here). So yeah, RavenQuest couldn’t break through the noise, but maybe RavenIdle’s casual format (browser + Telegram) gives it a better shot. Web3 gamers love passive income cosplaying as gameplay. TL;DR: Main game flopped, so they’re pivoting to idle autobattler with $640k+ in incentives. Either a genius funnel into the QUEST ecosystem… or just another way to get farmed by whales. What do you think—legit shot at adoption this time, or another “wagmi until DAUWs drop to 1k” situation?

Craft World just unveiled its Era 3.1 roadmap, adding new layers of complexity to its Ronin-based metaverse. Players can now shuffle buildings, chase cosmetics, and wrestle with updated power stations that make energy management even tougher. Land scarcity remains central, with new “terraformer” NFTs required to unlock extra plots and blueprints dictating factory options. Meanwhile, Masterpiece events become key for top rewards, pushing collaboration—or pricing players out. The direction is clear: more resource specialization, NFT tradability, and market dynamics designed to turn casual play into a grind-heavy economy. In short: SimCity meets DeFi, but with your power bill on-chain.
