STEPN's Move-to Earn team – Find Satoshi Lab (FSL) – is going to launch the online multiplayer game Gas Hero.
It is known that the developers plan to present the game at the end of this year. However, the content of the game has nothing to do with "gas" - a unit of account in the Ethereum network used to calculate transaction fees. The "gas" in Gas Hero refers to the natural gas that the cloning lab in the game runs on.
Gas Hero will be a social game in which players will interact with each other. The game will take place in 2084, after artificial intelligence destroyed the familiar world.
Characters were offered to be developed by users
In honor of the launch of the game, the FSL team launched a promotion with a prize pool of more than $431,400. The "Create Legends, Share the Glory" contest invites participants to develop their own version of Gas Hero's non-fungible tokens (NFTs) called Genesis Heroes.
The competition consists of three stages, each of which lasts a month. At the first stage, participants can submit projects for the characters of the game. At each stage, 320 winners will be selected, in just three stages there will be 960 winners.
The winners of the competition will not only become constructors of Gas Hero Genesis heroes, but will also receive 2084 GMT - the utility token of Gas Hero, as well as 2% of the royalties from NFTs.
What happened to STEPN
Meanwhile, the previously popular FSL project - STEPN - is going through hard times. Daily earnings in the game fell by 99.9% from the maximum level, according to data from CoinGecko. This is due to the fall in GST prices from $8.51 to $0.0147. Now the project allows you to earn only $ 0,06 per day after deducting the cost of repairing virtual sneakers.
In addition, STEPN laid off more than 100 employees last year. Not only STEPN employees, but also project ambassadors were laid off. In addition to layoffs, the company froze the development of new products for the NFT game. It is assumed that the reason for the job cuts was the bear market.
