Star Atlas and Shaga launch $100k creator pool 💵
Web3 grand strategy MMO Star Atlas has partnered with Twitch add-on layer Shaga to launch a $100,000 Creator Campaign, with rewards in $ATLAS tokens, Star Atlas Ship NFTs, and Shaga’s GLOB points.
To qualify, creators must use Shaga during a livestream of Star Atlas to allow a viewer to take over their gameplay. By sharing these “Shaga in Action” clips, creators can qualify for the upcoming Creator Campaign – and a share of the $100,000 prize pool on offer.
Qualification is open until 23:59 PST on April 22, with the $100,000 Creator Campaign to be held from April 23 to May 7.
Star Atlas have enjoyed an uplifting 2025 so far. March 2025 marked a partnership with SingularityNET for cutting-edge AI agent integration, and the team has consistently made progress towards its public roadmap.
Finalbosu mints out, prices rises 📈
Finalbosu held their public mint earlier this week - and it was a huge success, with all 3,445 NFTs sold in just 6 minutes.
Each NFT was priced at 0.134 $ETH ($220) each, and was minted on Abstract, with the art for each NFT to be revealed soon. As of writing, the floor price sits at 0.19 ETH - a 40%+ increase since mint - with a total trading volume of over $500,000 USD.
This is the latest step in Finalbosu’s quest to "craft the future of anime". Each NFT marks a character in the Bosu universe - a universe which each holder will own a small part of, and will reap all the benefits that entails.
These characters will embark on epic adventures, traversing worlds, navigating tricky situations and defeating powerful bosses to reach their full potential.
Trump to launch Monopoly-inspired Web3 game 👀
US President Donald Trump is reportedly involved in the development of a Web3 video game that mirrors elements of the classic Monopoly board game.
The game, which is rumoured to including digital real estate assets that utilise blockchain technology, is being led by Trump’s long-time associate Bill Zanker.
Though still under wraps, sources familiar with the game say it will allow players to move across a virtual board and earn in-game currency by acquiring and building on digital plots - again akin to Monopoly.
This would add to a series of blockchain-related activities tied to the Trump family, including multiple Trump-branded NFT collections, and the $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins.
