Free Mint meta continues to surge?

Hello and welcome to the third episode of “The Spark“ newsletter!

Here you can find everything you need to stay up-to-date with upcoming NFT projects and web3 games

Now let’s dive into the info

Episode structure:

[Early alpha] section:

1. SERAPH: In the Darkness (2300 followers)

• Self stated as “The world's first high-quality web3 dark ARPG loot game“

• Designed as Free-to-Play game with elements of Play-to-Earn content, project also aims to capture web2 audience by lowering the entry barrier and removing unnecessary, complex mechanics

• VC backed

• Mint details - still TBA, but planned to be: supply below 3k and mint price free/cheap

• Genesis collection is sitting at 0.48ETH FP at the moment of writing

My take:

There’re no posts on official page just yet, but i saw the pitch deck. They are building something similar to Diablo/PathOfExile, but with blockchain integration. Sneak peeks are looking nice, but no gameplay walkthrough at the moment.

Considering that they have VC backing and first collection is sitting at good price point, i think that project can perform positively (if team won’t change mint details or will decide to launch for free). Worth to get involved once they start the marketing as the project is ultra early right now.

2. WaveMint (4150 followers)

• Leading the narrative of “experience beyond ownership“, and building the platform, which “will blend web2 & web3 communities, experiences and interactions between them”

• VC funded, low supply, free mint launch

• Application based WL process

My take:

Another app which tries to connect web2 and web3 worlds. Not much public info up to date. Main use case is to connect with web2 artists, clubs, brands etc and offer new form of token-gated experiences. I think a lot of projects tried to do it, but no one seem to capture the market.

Worth to fill the application since it’s a low supply + free mint project. By the way, i heard that there might be some security issues on website, so please use burner wallet for extra safety (in case it wasn’t fixed up to date)!
