i feel like sugartown could really be what the abstract community needs rn.
people are looking for new games to play. competitive skill based games with real prizes.
not many of those exist on the platform and people are fed up with gamble games.
i feel like sugartown games are great because they’re:
- skill based
- still have elements of luck/gambling
- competitive with leaderboards and more ways to pvp coming
more games are launching soon. win to earn meta is the best meta.
oras and cores are way underpriced considering the game quality, quantity and supporting ecosystem on the horizon.
As mentioned prior, we contracted a design studio for the production grade rebrand of @pumpcade
The open beta has served the purpose of monitoring user behavior and getting feedback on the general layout of the application
Here's a sneak peak of where we're at internally
We just did a fairly large release to the @pumpcade open beta.
The team is shipping at unprecedented speeds.
Visual:
1. Entirely overhauled PNL cards.
2. Live charts now better convey movement and activity. There are animations driven by underlying asset volatility as well as alerts for predictions placed.
3. More engaging home screen. Pumpcade markets move fast, so it's important that we can drive your eyes to where the activity is, and where your time is best spent. Market cards now visually display when predictions are placed, and shift accordingly to your field of view based on market volume.
4. Prediction buttons have stronger visual feedback. It should feel good to place a prediction.
Infrastructure:
1. Pumpcade markets begin offchain, and the first prediction moves the market onchain. This happens in a single bundled transaction.
2. We fixed a race condition where the home page would occasionally reload data.
3. We have began migrating all of our services off of Railway and onto AWS. A few have already been migrated. Tomorrow we will have a *brief* period of downtime while we complete the migration for the remainder of the services.
Operational:
1. Half of the team is now heads down working on Sports markets. This includes a fully immersive and "fun to watch" experience for the fast paced sports markets. We have calls starting Monday of next week with data providers for these sports markets. It is incredibly important that we get the fastest data, and we will ensure we explore all options to make sure that we have the perfect data for the speed of our markets.
2. We will be onboarding a new team member soon. More on this later.
Keep sending in your feedback using the Intercom button on the app. We read and respond to nearly everything.
Pumpcade.
@gnarzilla@pumpcade basketball and football for me but ofc the big 4 + fight sports, world cup will be sick.
too bad basketball is nearing the end but maybe can catch the finals a bit
@MINHxDYNASTY That no call on the goaltending was egregious then not giving spurs the challenge on the out of bounds back to back was legit a 5 point swing to end the 3rd…
Could have been within 5 going into the 4th
