Notcoin to Launch its $NOT Token

Notcoin, the wildly popular Telegram-based game developed by Open Builders, is gearing up to launch its very own token, the $NOT token, on The Open Network (TON) this month. With an impressive 35 million total players and a peak of six million daily active users, Notcoin has taken the gaming world by storm within the Telegram messaging app.

Ubisoft Unveils First Look at Champion Tactics

Ubisoft has recently taken a bold step into the blockchain gaming space, unveiling a sneak peek of Champion Tactics Grimoria at Paris Blockchain Week. This highly anticipated move marks the renowned game studio’s foray into the blockchain space, showcasing a player-versus-player role-playing game that promises both tactical depth and innovative blockchain integration.

Project of the Day

Bittensor

Bittensor ($TAO) is making waves in the world of decentralized machine learning with its open-source protocol. Powering a network where machine learning models train collaboratively, contributors are rewarded in $TAO based on the value they bring to the collective. Beyond its internal workings, $TAO also offers external access, allowing users to tap into the network’s wealth of information and customize its activities to suit their needs.

In terms of price movements, $TAO is currently trading near $650, with a market cap exceeding $4.3 billion, down from its recent all-time high of approximately $750. Interestingly, the project’s price fluctuations demonstrate a negative correlation with the top 10 coins by market cap. This trend, combined with the recent surge in TAO’s price and trading volume, indicates a growing interest in the project among investors and enthusiasts alike.
