GameStop opens up NFT and Web3 possibilities



GameStop, the world's largest video game retailer, is seeking a number of positions for its NFT platform and Web3 games.

Gamestop advertised eight positions on its career page on Monday. The positions include three product marketing directors for the NFT platform, three NFT software engineers, and two Web3 gaming directors.

GameStop described its advance in the job posting for the head of the Web3 gaming department with the words:

“We are looking for people who can help accelerate the future of gaming and commerce. In this future, games are the places you go, and gaming is determined by the things you bring with you. Future developers will not only build games, but also the components, characters and equipment. Blockchains will power the commerce below. An ideal candidate has experience in a variety of areas of gaming, content creation, partnerships, game design / development / mechanics, and a general understanding and experience of Ethereum, NFTs, and blockchain-based gaming platforms. ”

GameStop states that the Director of Product Marketing will be responsible for developing and executing the marketing strategy for GameStop's NFT platform, including product marketing, developer and partnering, and consumer awareness and acceptance of the product.

In April and May of this year, GameStop quietly published its first ads mentioning NFT and cryptocurrencies. All of these developments occurred when the NFT space was booming that year, along with the GameStop stock frenzy.

In May, the company launched a website called GameStop NFT, on which it stated that it was looking for a team to build a platform for the digital goods space.

On Reddit, more than 8,000 users voted for a post on r / Superstonk about the new GameStop jobs. A Redditor wrote:

"This listing is very literally Gamestop, as we predicted, at the forefront of the pack in bringing cutting-edge technology into mainstream business use."

GME had a fairly volatile run in October that went all the way back to $ 166 before climbing to $ 187 but then crashing again. However, according to data from Tradingview, the GME rate is up 2.8% and is now at $ 178, up 844% year over year.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
