Fantasy Top: SocialFi Meets Trading Card Game

What is Fantasy.Top?

The SocialFi field has recently seen a cool new change: the combination of traditional fantasy sports with the power of social media to create unique and exciting gameplay. Enter Fantasy.top, a new crypto trading card game, which offers a diverse array of cards across four distinct rarities: common, rare, epic, and legendary. These cards feature approximately 250 prominent crypto influencers, each earning a 1.5% commission whenever their card changes hands. Moreover, Fantasy extends beyond influencers, allowing users to craft their own personalized cards, adding an extra layer of creativity to the gaming experience.

The card game runs on top of Blast, a Layer 2 network constructed on Ethereum, offering a rewards mechanism through points distribution. The protocol takes into account users' activity on social media platforms and on-chain metrics across multiple blockchains. Fantasy goes an extra mile by offering users the chance to put their trading cards to the test in exciting competitions, further elevating the engagement to a whole new level.

How is the gameplay?

In the Fantasy dApp, Twitter profiles earn points based on the views and impressions their tweets receive during each bi-week tournament and these directly impact the player's performance within the game. Before each tournament kicks off, players must tactically build a deck consisting of five cards as their success in the tournament depends entirely on the performance of these chosen cards.

At the end of every tournament, participants receive rewards in the form of BLAST, ETH, FAN points, and exclusive Packs, based on their rankings. The cycle begins anew with the start of the next tournament, providing players with ongoing excitement and rewards in the captivating Fantasy.top universe.

In addition to that, players can purchase limited-edition packs of trading cards and acquire cards from the marketplace. With card rarity ranging from common to legendary, there's always the thrilling anticipation of finding a legendary card in the next pack! Players can also sell their unwanted cards to buy new ones, continuously refining their decks for a more competitive edge. Fantasy.top is surely leaving no stones unturned in creating a dynamic ecosystem where each decision shapes your gaming experience!

So, in brief, the game allows you to:

• Assemble your fantasy lineup by collecting unique influencer cards and strategically set your team for weekly competitions.
• Explore the marketplace to buy and sell influencer cards, enhancing your lineup for a competitive edge.
• Earn exciting rewards like BLAST, ETH, FAN points, and exclusive influencer packs as you participate and excel in the game.

Final Thoughts

Although trading cards, particularly in sports, have long been popular among traditional collectors and internet users, the concept of trading Twitter profiles introduces a fresh and intriguing twist. Moreover, the ability to trade these profiles against each other adds an exciting gamification element to the entire collection experience.

The eagerly anticipated mainnet launch is set to go live quite earlier than expected. Previously, the launch was expected for next week; however, according to the new retro-themed countdown widget on their website, it's now slated to launch within the next 15 hours! To ensure seamless access, users are encouraged to log in early, as immediate access cannot be guaranteed once the traffic kicks in. For now, it is more than worth giving it a shot, and one can only be hopeful of a similar response when the game finally launches.
