Hello and welcome to the episode #23 of “The Spark“ newsletter!

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

Now let’s dive into the info

Episode structure:

[Early alpha] section:

1. Duper (2440 followers)

  • Self described as “onchain high stakes social war game”

  • Developed by Curio ($2.9M in funding)

  • Early access form is already available

My take:

There’s limited amount of info about this one at the moment, however project looks good in general. Starting from visual aspect, ending with team which previously worked with Genshin Impact, Halo and more.

Quite a few notable people (VC representatives, protocol CEOs & more) interacted with their first post, which adds some extra legitimacy for what they’re building.

Overall, I would put it on watchlist because idea seems to be relatively unique, and they have some cool people backing the project. If you want to be in the first batch and try their product (maybe get access to some perks too?) - fill the early access form; you can find it in their bio, or under the first tweet.

I’ve partnered with Blast Hoods to provide my subscribers 3 guaranteed WL spots for their upcoming mint.

P.S. Blast is still a new chain and contains lots of malicious actors, be extra careful with each project you mint/invest into.
