Metacade Presale Investment Rockets Past $5 Million As GameFi Investors Hurry To Buy Remaining MCADE Tokens

02 Feb 2023

Avalanche moved to its highest point since August, as the token rose by as much as 17% in today’s session. Cryptocurrencies surged across the board, following the latest Federal Reserve rate hike, with the global market cap 4.29% higher as of writing this. Polygon also hit a multi-month high on Thursday, rising by over 14% in the process.

Avalanche (AVAX) was one of Thursday’s notable movers, as the token rose to its highest point since August.

AVAX/USD hit a high of $22.71 earlier in the day, and came less than a day after it traded at a bottom of $18.80.

The move came as avalanche broke out of a long-term price ceiling at $21.65, on its way to its strongest point since August 26.

Looking at the chart, the move took place following a breakout of a resistance level at 72.00 on the relative strength index (RSI) indicator.

As of writing this, the index is tracking at 72.62, with the next visible resistance point around the 74.00 mark.

Should this zone be hit, there is a strong chance that AVAX could move above $23.00, recording a fresh five-month high in the process.

In addition to AVAX, polygon (MATIC) also rose significantly higher in today’s session, hitting a multi-month high in the process.

Following a low of $1.07 on Wednesday, MATIC/USD moved to a peak of $1.25 earlier in the day.

Thursday’s rally saw MATIC climb by as much as 15%, hitting its highest level since November 8.

As of writing this, polygon has given up some of its earlier gains, and is currently trading at $1.23.

This comes as bulls seem to be securing profits, as the RSI nears a resistance point at 70.00.

Price strength is currently tracking at 69.90, and unless it moves well above this upcoming hurdle, upwards momentum in MATIC could begin to shift.

Today's Top Ethereum and Bitcoin Mining Devices Continue to Rake in Profits

As the crypto economy hovers just under $2 trillion in value, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining devices are making decent profits. While ASIC miners can still mine ethereum, a 1.5 gigahash (GH/s) Ethash mining device can rake in $51.58 per ... read more.

Amid the controversy surrounding the Ordinals project and the debate over what types of data should be stored on the Bitcoin blockchain, the network mined its largest block, nearly 4 MB in size, containing just 63 transactions. One of the transactions was a 3.94 MB Ordinal inscription featuring an image of a wizard, and the Bitcoin-issued non-fungible token (NFT) has generated significant discussion.

On Feb. 1, 2023, the Luxor mining pool mined the largest block (#774,628) ever recorded on the Bitcoin network, approximately 3.96 MB. The coinbase parameter of the block contains a message indicating its discovery by Luxor. The mining pool also took to Twitter to inform the community about the discovery and the reason for the large size of the block.

“Last night, Luxor harnessed its magic energy and freed an ancient wizard from his cosmic cage where he had been trapped for many epochs,” the mining pool tweeted. “Keen observers of the chain of time may have noticed a 4 MB anomaly, unlike anything seen before. Will there be others?” The tweet also included an image of the “Taproot Wizard,” an Ordinal inscription #652, attached to the block. Taproot, a feature applied to the Bitcoin network on Nov. 12, 2021, was activated at block height 709,632 and brought several new benefits to BTC users.

A 3.96 MB block #774628 has been just added to Bitcoin by @LuxorTechTeam exploiting buggy Taproot! The previous record was just 2.77 MB. Here's the list of the largest blocks: https://t.co/LsavqjLFEq

This will trigger many! Are we on the verge of a new blocksize war? 🤓

Essentially, Taproot allows multiple participants in a transaction to create a single combined digital signature, making transactions more efficient and private. Since the creation of Ordinals, it has been discovered that using a Segregated Witness (Segwit) “discount” in combination with Taproot allows for a full block to be 4 MB in size, bypassing the 1 MB limit encoded in the Bitcoin blockchain. It was previously known that Segwit slightly increased block sizes, with the largest block before Luxor’s 3.96 MB being 2.765 MB (#748,918) mined on Aug. 11, 2022.

Meanwhile, Ordinals were already controversial among some bitcoin maximalists, and the 4 MB block mined with only 63 transactions and a Wizard JPEG caused further upset. For instance, bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr, who called Ordinals an “attack,” quickly created a node patch to filter or censor Ordinal “spam.” “NOT a protocol change or soft fork/hard fork, just a harmless (if it works right) spam filter,” Dashjr wrote. “Also a quick hack and NOT suitable for opening a PR to Core – please write a proper fix for that.”

Many bitcoin advocates were dissatisfied with the record-breaking block size, and the topic was discussed on the Reddit forum r/bitcoin. The most upvoted comment in the thread read: “I would much rather see such a block full of real monetary transactions from thousands of people, instead of this idiocy.”

Another individual agreed with this opinion and argued that the Taproot scheme that produced a 4 MB block was dangerous. “Yeah … This is rather dangerous. We’re one bad actor or one automated miner away from cementing vile and disgusting things to a permanent, globally distributed, uncensorable database. It will be interesting to see if there is a free market solution to this.”

Someone has just uploaded DOOM to the BTC blockchain.

In addition to the stir caused by the Wizard-block Ordinal, an unsavory image was inscribed into inscription #668. Although the image was removed from the Ordinals website, it remains immutable and cannot be removed from the Bitcoin blockchain. Furthermore, a game, “DOOM,” was uploaded to the blockchain and can be found in inscription #466.

Some bitcoin advocates expressed dissatisfaction with the mining pool Luxor, which mined the 4 MB block. One person responded to Luxor’s tweet, saying, “There’s nothing revolutionary in what you did. You stuffed a nasty JPEG with zero artistic value into the blockchain. Okay…you could have crafted the same stupid image 10,000 times smaller. Why did you make it 4 MB? Because it’s mischief; you are trolls.”

PRESS RELEASE. London, United Kingdom, 2nd Feb 2023, Chainwire. The Metacade presale is selling out fast with stage 3 coming to a close after just 12 days. The presale of the play-to-earn (P2E) metaverse arcade saw its previous rounds sell out within 4 weeks, raising $2.7 million but this has been dwarfed in comparison to the third stage selling out at lightning speed and bringing the project to raise past $5 million in just several days.

Metacade is set to deliver the ultimate blockchain gaming experience, merging the worlds of gaming and crypto in a seamless and exciting way. Development of the P2E arcade is well underway and platform designs have already been shared with the ever-growing Metacade community on the arcade’s Twitter page.

157.5 million tokens will be available in stage 4 where investors may purchase tokens before the next presale round, which will see the token price increase to $0.016.

Russell Bennett, Head of Product for Metacade, said: “Investor confidence in the project is high and token demand is continuing to increase. We know that the Metacade project has solid fundamentals, a strong team, and the power to make waves in the GameFi industry – it’s clear that crypto and GameFi investors have caught onto this too.”

With incredible momentum already behind the Metacade project, it will not be long before the presale tokens sell out and MCADE is released on exchanges. The token will be listed on both centralized and decentralized exchanges, giving the public a variety of ways to purchase the token.

MCADE will be listed Bitmart, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange ranked 21st in the CoinMarketCap exchange rankings, followed by a top 10 exchange listing that is soon to be revealed. Amongst the DeFI exchanges, investors will be able to find MCADE on Uniswap, amongst other well-known and trusted token exchanges.

With its play-to-earn arcade built on the Ethereum blockchain, Metacade is primed to be the go-to place for gamers and crypto enthusiasts. The platform boasts innovative and essential features such as leaderboards, trending games, GameFi alpha, and more that will set it apart from other blockchain gaming platforms.

Play-to-earn is at the heart of the platform but gaming isn’t the only string to Metacade’s bow. The platform is going above and beyond to support the gaming community by launching a jobs board and Metagrants initiative to attract the best game developers to build their games on the platform. It will be a place to earn, learn, and connect like never before.

The Metacade is powered by the MCADE token, which will be essential for any transactions on the platform. MCADE will be used to reward players for their efforts across the platform, from gaming and tournament participation to sharing gaming alpha and writing GameFi reviews. MCADE holders can also top up their income by staking their tokens to support the arcade’s network.

The P2E GameFi platform received the ultimate seal of approval from the prestigious blockchain auditing firm Certik. That places Metacade among the ranks of Polygon, ApeCoin, and BNB Chain as a trusted player in the world of crypto. With Certik’s cutting-edge technology, it thoroughly analyzed and evaluated every aspect of Metacade’s specifications and code. It also performed a full KYC on the Metacade team to confirm their authenticity and bring even more transparency to the project. The full audit results are available on the Certik website.
