The Spark (ep. #16)

Hello and welcome to the episode #16 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. Evergreen

• The first publishing platform that operates as a composable MMO, which acts like a combination of different games under 1 universe

• Secured $7.5M in seed round

• Early role is still available in their discord (at the moment of writing this)

My take:

Their idea is pretty interesting, but yet might be overwhelming, as it’s not easy to build at least 1 really good game, while they target for multiple.

Team is fairly experienced as they worked on a couple of gaming projects prior this one; head of marketing previously worked with Apple.

Evergreen is just getting started and I believe they won’t launch NFT collection right away, which is great for us who can secure a spot early on.

In conclusion, claim your early role in their Discord if it’s still available and engage with them on socials, as their intern is very responsive. Still need to see how it will develop, but fundamentals are on point.

2. LE7EL

• Building a protocol that provides P2P server, blockchain and web3 infrastructure for game creators and game development platforms

• Backed by Polygon and partnered with Nvidia

• Low supply NFT collection + ecosystem token launch are coming soon

My take:

Their team has been developing this product since 2021, with mainnet launch in early 2022. Up to this point they’ve already established a partnership with some top tier gaming ecosystems, for example DeFi Kingdoms.

LE7EL has also received funding grants from Polygon and Nvidia, which is a good sign about their product.

Upcoming collection will have a 2222 supply, mint price TBA. Only utilities outlined so far are token airdrop, token presale and “exclusive membership“, which is quite dry but maybe there’s something else.

Overall it’s a decently looking project that just started marketing, might make sense to keep an eye on this one and then decide if you want to get involved.
