The Ethereum blockchain and its DeFi services are so popular, that gas fees are often more than $100. I’ve even seen gas fees for complicated transactions that were more than 1 ETH. The cry for layer-2 solutions is definitely getting louder, even though it’s good to see that decentralized infrastructures are gaining traction. In the world of gaming Axie Infinity launched their sidechain solution, solving the Ethereum problem. At the same time the digital art / collectible project Hashmasks made headlines with unprecedented amounts of NFT trading. So much action happening in the NFT space, good thing you’re subscribed. 😎 - Robert Hoogendoorn

Play to Earn Community News Update
We used to have a membership on our website that would allow members to claim bonus $PLAY from every news post. However, Ethereum gas fees basically killed that idea. There’s no way I will be putting all of you at risk of spending insane amounts of gas fees. As a result the membership will be cancelled. Instead I will increase the regular $PLAY airdrops on our news articles. The more you read and learn about NFTs, crypto art and blockchain gaming, the more you’re able to earn. Thanks for reading, you can get your PLAY here.
