Recent ProjectETH Gobblers

This project is an example of gamified blockchain patronage. A GOOEY is your own living, breathing, dynamic creature NFT that lives in a super cute Tamagotchi-style web 3 application. GOOEYs need your love and support to thrive, divide into more GOOEYs and drop gifts along the way. Each GOOEY has it's own base traits, disposition, taxonomy and age. GOOEYs can also be equipped with new unique add-ons, claimable to those who keep their GOOEYs healthy and happy.

Recent ProjectMegalith TV

Megalith TV is an accretive streaming video platform. Allowing token holders to upload content to a 2 week long repeating video stream. The duration of content users are able to upload was determined by the amount of ethereum sent to the contract in order to mint the NFT. Token holders have broadcasting rights to the Megalith stream and can upload content of their choosing which is shown at a defined time slot within the 2 week streaming period.
