By Alex Liu, Foresight News SuiPlay0X1 is a Web3 game handheld created by Sui in cooperation with Playtron (the developer of the game handheld operating system), which supports traditional platform games such as Steam and Epic, and can switch to Sui's on-chain game mode with one click. The pre-sale equipment is bound to "Eternal" soulbound NFTs, which are divided into two tiers: "Mythic" (the first 1,700 NFTs) and "Exalted", and NFT holders of different levels can enjoy airdrop and whitelist qualifications from multiple project parties. The SuiPlay0X1 was launched for pre-sale in early September last year, and by the end of April this year, 10,000 units had been officially sold. At SuiBaseCamp 2025 in Dubai in May this year, the SuiPlay0X1 was officially demonstrated in action and announced that it will be shipped this summer. Ecological airdrops From the launch of the pre-sale to the final sell-out, a steady stream of ecological airdrop news is indispensable to fuel the fire. What kind of ecological airdrops did SuiPlay receive? First of all, it should be noted that game console pre-order users receive the soulbound "Eternal" NFT through the Sui address generated by their Playtron account, and the ecological airdrop is also received by this address. Playtron currently hosts the address, and the community speculates that the device may be handed over to user self-hosting once shipped. The author is one of the first 1,700 pre-purchasers, holding the "Myth" NFT, and the following tokens have been received from the Sui address: including the Sui ecosystem Perp DEX Bluefin token BLUE, the lending protocol Scallop token SCA, the meme coin HIPPO, etc., with a total value of about $70. In addition to the 8 certified tokens shown in the image above, SuiPlay NFT holders also received more than 40 tokens (mostly memes) that have not been certified by block explorers. Some token airdrops do not cover all NFT holders, but are randomly selected, such as Sui Name Service, which randomly selected 500 airdrops of 1,000 NS tokens (currently worth about $260) among "Myth" NFT holders. At the same time, some token airdrops are issued in the form of NFTs, which need to be claimed later. For example, the author received an NFT that can claim 113 Walrus tokens WAL, worth more than $70. The same airdrop was also used by the casino project Double Up (token UP) on Sui. In addition, some projects have already made airdrop promises, but the specific airdrop will wait until the project is launched/SuiPlay devices are shipped, such as Fud the Pug, one of the top meme coins in the Sui ecosystem. G Dollar stablecoin On May 2, 2025, Sui, Playtron, and M0 (stablecoin infrastructure provider) Foundation released G Dollar, a programmable stablecoin for gaming scenarios, in SuiBaseCamp, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar and guaranteed by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, which can be used for handheld and other GameOS platform consumption, subscriptions, and reward distribution. Its programmable features enable fee reductions, instant payouts, and new revenue models. Why do Sui, Playtron want stablecoins? The official gave three answers: Innovative economic model: Programmable stablecoins and on-chain reward mechanisms enable developers to innovate revenue sources and open up the flow of assets inside and outside the game. Upgrade player incentives: Through multi-level incentives and direct airdrops, we will attract more players and Web2 game manufacturers to enter the Sui ecosystem and boost user growth. Synergistic ecological effect: The multi-project joint airdrop and G Dollar wallet compatibility strategy will help integrate on-chain games and cross-platform linkage, further enhancing Sui's competitiveness as the underlying chain of games. Directly participating in the issuance of ecological stablecoins, it can be seen that Sui is fully committed to the game track. PLAY Tokens? Playtron is rumored to be planning to issue PLAY tokens, or to airdrop additional handheld users. In horizontal comparison, it is equivalent to Solana mobile phone Saga and then issuing a separate token, and there is no precedent in the industry. However, Playtron has not officially announced the detailed issuance plan and token economic model, but only "evokes reverie" on social accounts. If the PLAY token is finally confirmed, it may be possible to further use the token to activate the ecological and economic layer gameplay and enhance user stickiness. epilogue SuiPlay0X1 combines soul-bound NFTs with multi-project airdrops, replicating the "wealth effect" path of Solana Saga mobile phones, and also has micro-innovations in NFT levels; The launch of G Dollar fills the pain point of game asset settlement; On the whole, SuiPlay's "Sao Operation" goes hand in hand with hardware, tokens, and stablecoins, bringing rights and interests to early users, and also building a more complete economic and financial foundation for Sui's game ecosystem, and the subsequent implementation effect is expected to further test its sustainability and attractiveness.

🌄FN Exclusive丨Ecological airdrops, stablecoin creation, self-issued tokens... A roundup of the "bold moves" by the Sui gaming console. Since the pre-sale launched by @SuiPlay last September, 10,000 units were officially sold out by the end of April this year. At the SuiBaseCamp 2025 event held in Dubai this May, SuiPlay0X1 showcased the actual console and announced that shipments would begin this summer. Here’s a breakdown of what the Sui gaming console 🎮 has been up to: 🪂What ecological airdrops has SuiPlay received? @liu_web3, one of the first 1,700 pre-purchasers, holds the "Myth" NFT. The Sui address associated with this NFT received the following tokens: including $BLUE from the Sui ecosystem @bluefinapp, $SCA from @Scallop_io, and the meme token $HIPPO, among others, with a total value of approximately $70. Additionally, there are random airdrops such as $NS, $WAL, and $UP, with values ranging from tens to hundreds of USD. 🏦G Dollar Stablecoin On May 2, 2025, Sui, Playtron, and the M0 Foundation (a provider of stablecoin infrastructure) jointly launched the programmable stablecoin G Dollar at SuiBaseCamp. This coin is pegged to the US dollar and backed by U.S. short-term treasury bonds. It can be used for consumption, subscriptions, and reward distribution within handheld consoles and other GameOS platforms. Its programmable features support fee reductions, instant withdrawals, and new revenue models. 🪙PLAY Token Rumor has it that Playtron is planning to issue the PLAY token, which may be additionally airdropped to handheld console users. Comparatively, this is akin to Solana's Saga phone issuing a separate token, a move unprecedented in the industry. However, Playtron has yet to announce detailed issuance plans or the tokenomics model, merely sparking speculation on social media.

《Understanding the Latest Points Minting Machine - Detailed Explanation of @virtuals_io's Geneses Launch Model》 Recently, those who follow me may have noticed that I talk about $VIRTUAL almost daily. Since Virtual was listed on Binance spot trading, its performance has been very stable. Shortly after its spot listing, the Geneses presale model was launched, and the price skyrocketed. I managed to gain some profits both from the presale and the token price. Currently, Virtual's price has risen steadily from around 0.5u to 1.4u, consistently appearing on Binance's top gainers list. The Geneses model has introduced several presale projects, with returns ranging from three to five times to dozens of times. After launch, these projects have shown stable performance and high growth potential. For participating users, there are two significant conclusions: 1. Virtual's Geneses presale model is highly profitable, with good projects yielding high multiples. 2. The proportion of investment depends on the points you hold, so it's essential to find ways to accumulate more points. Here, I’m writing a post to provide a comprehensive introduction and offer some tips and additional insights for those looking to earn points. I also hope to spark discussions so everyone can share effective strategies for earning points. Let’s aim to master this model and seize significant opportunities. Links related to the Geneses Launch model are placed in the comments section for bookmarking and easy access later. Now, let’s dive into the detailed explanation of the points system. 1. Introduction to the Geneses Model In one sentence: The Virtual Geneses points model determines the investment proportion based on the ratio of points in an oversubscription model. Traditional oversubscription models allocate based on the proportion of investment amounts, with relatively low entry barriers. Even if there’s a cap per wallet, large investors can use multiple wallets to secure more allocation. Virtual's Geneses model, however, allocates based on points, requiring users to decide the number of points to invest in each project. The advantage of this model is that it locks allocations for contributors to the ecosystem. Since earning points is not easy, strategies like using multiple wallets for presales are less effective, ensuring sufficient distribution of tokens from the start. Here’s a table summarizing the differences between traditional presales and Virtual Geneses. 2. How to Participate in Geneses Presales Once you have points and 566 $Virtual tokens in your wallet, you can invest in projects on the presale website. To participate, enter the presale interface of an ongoing project. In the top-right corner, select the number of points to invest, input the points and Virtual token amount, and click Commit. To check your points and overall allocation, click the points amount in the top-right corner to access the points page. Here’s the link. 3. How to Earn Points [Key Section] The official guidelines don’t detail how many points can be earned. The following are my findings based on personal experience. If anyone has better suggestions, feel free to share them for additional insights. 1. Buying Tokens [Points Valid for 30 Days] Whether buying $LUNA, $AIXBT, or tokens under the new Geneses model, points are allocated. Here are some observations: ① If you participate in Geneses token presales without selling the presale tokens and additionally purchase tokens, you earn significantly more points. ② Buying new tokens yields more points than buying older tokens. ③ The more Virtual tokens you spend, the more points you earn, with additional point bonuses likely based on a tiered system. 2. Holding $Virtual [Permanent Points] Storing Virtual tokens in a Base chain wallet earns daily point allocations. Based on my tests with different wallets, the allocation isn’t strictly proportional to the number of Virtual tokens held. There’s likely a tiered system, where holding more tokens results in higher bonuses. For example, one wallet with over 10,000 Virtual tokens earned 2,000-3,000 points daily, while another wallet with 3,000 Virtual tokens earned only 300-400 points. Hence, it’s recommended to store most of your Virtual tokens in a single wallet to maximize points. 3. Staking VADER [Permanent Points] Recently, $VADER has been rising in value, as staking VADER also earns significant point allocations. 4. Participating in Yaps to Earn Points [Points Valid for 30 Days] Participating in Yaps is similar to Kaito campaigns, where you post tweets and fill out forms to earn points. Many people overlook this, but it’s worth doing. Influencers (KOLs) with large followings can leverage their influence to earn free points, contributing to the ecosystem. Interestingly, even KOLs with only a few hundred or thousand followers have earned tens of thousands of points through Yaps. Note: Ensure your wallet is linked to the Virtual website and Twitter account; otherwise, points won’t be allocated to your wallet. Submit Yaps link Official Yaps tweet Additional Notes: The above suggestions are based on my practical experience. Since the point allocation rules aren’t explicitly detailed, I believe this lack of transparency is beneficial. Otherwise, users might exploit the rules, leading to diminishing returns. Binance’s recent point system illustrates this, where users rushed to optimize their spending based on the rules, ultimately reducing the rewards. Hence, the current semi-black-box approach is ideal. We only need to understand the essence of points: they flow to contributors to the ecosystem and diamond-handed holders. 4. Virtual’s Oversight and Issue Resolution for Projects This section is dedicated to Virtual’s excellent oversight and problem resolution for projects, which I believe should be emulated by all projects. 1. Addressing Point Allocation Issues with $BIOS After the $BIOS presale, some users experienced insufficient or excessive allocations. Virtual promptly investigated and compensated users. Compensation details include: ① Users with excess allocations can retain the surplus. ② Users who received insufficient allocations but claimed tokens can request the remaining tokens. ③ Users who haven’t claimed tokens can still do so. If tokens are insufficient, Virtual will airdrop three times the value in $VIRTUAL to their wallets. ④ Points for users with insufficient allocations will be fully refunded (essentially free allocation). Original tweet Current $BIOS chart 2. Handling Rug Project $PLAY As Virtual Geneses projects increase, a rug project emerged recently. The presale was oversubscribed five times, but the project team suddenly tweeted asking users to send Virtual tokens to a specific address. Virtual promptly took the following actions: ① Halted the $PLAY presale, marking it as permanently failed. ② Issued a tweet reminding users that participants would receive points and refunds. ③ Compensated users who sent funds to the fraudulent address, provided their wallets had points. As a result, no users suffered financial losses. Original tweet Virtual’s approach to addressing issues is commendable: no evasion, no perfunctory responses, and genuine problem-solving to benefit users. 5. Final Thoughts VIRTUAL is the project that yielded my best results last year, and I have high expectations for it. Despite market corrections and cooling AI trends this year, VIRTUAL has experienced significant pullbacks. However, its products and the team’s efforts demonstrate a long-term commitment to making the VIRTUAL token successful. Over the past few months, I’ve frequently seen tweets from prominent figures joining the @virtuals_io team, reflecting their genuine sentiments. In this relatively volatile market, finding truly valuable projects is rare. Treasure them and proceed with caution!

Author: Loxia In March 2025, Optimism launched a landmark on-chain governance experiment. By allocating 500,000 OP tokens through the Futarchy mechanism, this 21-day social experiment not only tested the feasibility of the prediction market in the ecological governance of the public chain, but also revealed the complex tension of the evolution of decentralized decision-making mechanisms. 01. Futarchy Governance Experiment In March, Optimism launched a novel Futarchy governance experiment, which literally translates to prediction experiment, in the blockchain, Futarchy is a governance model that guides decision-making through the prediction market, using the predictive power of financial markets and the real money input of participants to incentivize more accurate forecasting and analysis. In this experiment, Optimism used Futarchy to distribute a total of 500k OP (100k * 5) of incentives to explore a new incentive distribution model for the public chain side to incentivize the development of the ecosystem, and most of the progress of the experiment has been completed, and Loxia, a member of LXDAO, as one of the participants in the experiment, expressed cautious optimism about the future of the governance method. Futarchy proposed by MetaDAO is simply that when someone proposes a governance purpose (such as "airdrop tokens to incentivize users"), Futarchy will define two conditions: "pass" and "veto" token market. Participants need to pledge real assets in exchange for the corresponding token for trading - if they are optimistic that the proposal will push up the price of the token, they will buy the "pass" market token; Otherwise, bet on the "veto" market. In the end, the fate of the proposal is determined by comparing the weighted average prices of the two markets, and the participants can redeem the collateral assets, but the decision results directly affect the value of their holdings. This design cleverly binds individual interests to collective goals: If you want to make a profit, you must delve into the long-term impact of the proposal on the price of your organization's token, rather than voting on instinct or following the herd. MetaDAO's practice shows that even if a malicious proponent tries to dominate the market, the need to acquire "pass" tokens at a high price will outweigh the losses. MetaDAO believes that when every decision is tempered by real money, collective intelligence has a chance to overcome human weaknesses. 02. The origin of Futarchy Futarchy is a form of government proposed by economist Robin Hanson. In this model of governance, elected officials define measures of the country's well-being, and predictive markets are used to determine which policies will have the most positive impact. The New York Times listed "Futarchy" as a buzzword in 2008. Later, the concept was also introduced into the discussion of blockchain and DAOs. Futarchy's promotional slogan is: "Vote on values, bet on beliefs." This sentence means: Citizens should use democratic processes to express "what we want" (i.e., "values"). The prediction market is then used to determine "what policies are most likely to achieve these goals" (i.e., "beliefs" – judgments about cause and effect). Economist Tyler Cowen said: "I'm not optimistic about the future of Futarchy or whether it will succeed once it is implemented. Robin said, 'Vote on values, bet on beliefs,' but I don't think values and beliefs can be separated so easily. ” Cowen argues that human values and beliefs are highly intertwined, and it is difficult to completely separate the "goal" from the "way to achieve it." For example, a person may claim to pursue social equality (values), but his support for certain policies (beliefs) is actually motivated by ideological preferences rather than rational predictions of the effects of the policies. In other words, prediction markets cannot be completely shielded from human emotional, cognitive biases, and value-oriented interference, so Futarchy's operating mechanism may not be as rational and efficient as it can theoretically. 03、Futarchy for Optimism The designers of the Futarchy Governance Experiment argued: When decision-makers are rewarded and punished for their accuracy (→ reward for accuracy, → punishment for inaccuracy), they tend to make more thoughtful, unbiased decisions; At the same time, a permissionless futarchy model can attract more people to participate (crowd intelligence) rather than being limited to centralized decision-making bodies. At the same time, in order to make the experiment more open, and in order to get more data to test the experiment, the experimenter has opened the participation permission, anyone with a telegram account or Farcaster account can participate, and all predictors will get 50 OP-PLAY entry chips (it is OP-PLAY, the token has no real value, it is a fake chip for experimental purposes only), and the actual participants of OP governance will get more OP-PLAY chips. So what are the prediction issues around this round of Futarchy? If a project receives 100k OP incentives, which protocol(s) will receive the greatest TVL growth after three months. There are 23 projects participating in Futarchy this time, and each person participating in the experiment needs to predict the TVL increment of these 23 projects after "getting 100k OP incentives", at the beginning of the experiment, the initial predicted TVL of all projects is the same (the same starting line, as a reference, in the project selection of the test experiment), over time, users will stake OP-PLAY, and buy call options (UP tokens) and put options (DOWN) by different projects token) to start the game, and each of the five projects with the highest prediction results will be rewarded with 100k OP. At the end of the experiment, participants selected five projects through OP-PLAY's participation in the prediction market, and as a comparison, the Grants Council also selected its own five funded projects: Over the course of 21 days of ups and downs, the top five 100K OP funded projects selected through Futarchy: Rocket Pool: $59.4M SuperForm: $48.5M Balancer & Beets: $47.9M Avantis: $44.3M Polynomial: $41.2M At the same time, the five funded projects selected by the Grants Council (if there is any overlap, they will only be issued once): Extra Finance Gyroscope Reservoir QiDAO Silo 04. Limitations of the Futarchy model in governance Limitations of this TVL judging metric: "If the price of ETH goes up, those protocols that lock up a lot of ETH will look like they're growing a lot on TVL, even if they don't do anything." — @joanbp, March 13 "We seem to be using Futarchy to decide who should receive the grant, but if the TVL growth is only a reflection of market price changes, then this metric does not reflect whether the project is making good use of the grant." — @joanbp, March 13 It is also important to set up the indicators of the forecasting experiment: "We should choose those metrics – even if participants want to 'indulge' – can only 'win' by doing what is ecologically beneficial." —@Sky, March 17 Deviations due to simulated tokens (even if the value of the real token is insufficient) "It's 'fake money', not 'real money'. A lot of people will bet on both sides at the last minute, just to not lose. ” — @thefett, March 19 *41% of participants hedge their risk at the end of the day (bet on both sides to avoid losses) "I don't feel like I'm bringing any particular insight to the table, but rather diluting the influence of people who really understand the project." — @Milo, March 20 The user experience is poor and affects the effectiveness of the game: The success of forecasting a market depends largely on the depth of user engagement. However, the threshold for this experiment experience is high, the information is opaque, and the work is cumbersome, which greatly affects the judgment and participation of the participants. Common feedback from users includes: I don't know how many tokens there are in total. A single bet requires 6 on-chain interactions. (So I didn't do a few transactions in this experiment, the interface was too complicated) It is not clear whether the wrong item is a loss. The logic of profit and loss in the leaderboard is incomprehensible. "I THOUGHT PLAY WAS USED AT FIRST, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT EVERY ITEM WAS RESET, AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH I WAS SPENDING IN TOTAL." — @Milo, March 20 "It's a bit too much to make six deals in one prediction." — @Milo, March 20 "I couldn't read the leaderboard, and sometimes I felt like I was supposed to be profitable, and it turned out to be a 46% loss." — @joanbp, 19 March According to the official data report issued by Butter, this experiment: The total transaction volume was 5,898, but 41% of the addresses only participated in the last three days, indicating that the user learning cost was too high. A single prediction requires 6 on-chain interactions (see screenshot of the interface), resulting in an average of only 13.6 transactions per person. Despite 2,262 visitors, the conversion rate was only 19% and the OP governance contributor engagement rate was only 13.48% 45% of projects did not disclose their plans to forecasters, and information asymmetry led to forecast bias (e.g., Balancer's forecast exceeded the project's self-estimate by $26.4M) 05. Summary 1. The establishment of game indicators will have a decisive impact on the Futarchy experiment A good indicator should have: Measurability: clear and easy to verify; Correct direction: can guide participants to do things that "promote the positive development of the system even if it is to win money"; Not easy to gamify: It is difficult to be "bigger and stronger" by simple financial skills or price fluctuations. For example, in this Futarchy experiment, the TVL in US dollars is very susceptible to fluctuations in the price of mainstream currencies such as ETH, making the prediction more like "betting on the price of the coin" rather than assessing who really has the ability to grow. According to the official report issued by Butter, the interim TVL data as of April 9, 2025 has exposed the limitations of the metrics: Rocket Pool (forecast TVL growth of 59.4M) Actual TVL growth is 59.4M and actual TVL growth is 0 SuperForm (forecast 48.5M) actually fell 1.2M Balancer & Beets (forecast 47.9M) actually fell by 13.7M The total actual TVL of all Futarchy selected projects was $15.8M, while the Grants Council selected projects during the same period: Extra Finance (forecast 39.7M) real growth of 8M QiDAO (forecast 26.9M) actually grew by 10M This verifies the community's suspicion that the TVL indicator is strongly correlated with the market price and does not effectively reflect the real operational capability of the project. 2. Futarchy's "Best Forecaster" results are not entirely objective In this experiment, it is more about the OP-PLAY trading ability of the participants, rather than the selection of "prediction ability", because in this experiment, all the targets have a relatively large daily level rise and fall, and the participants have considerable room to work (anonymous account @joanbp reached the top through high-frequency trading (406 transactions/3 days)) In the final OP-PLAY trade win rate leaderboard, Badge Holders, as a recognized OP ecosystem professional, has the lowest group win rate. Only 4 of the top 20 forecasters hold OP governance identities (skydao.eth/alexsotodigital.eth, etc.) 3. Predicting the Paradoxes That Influence Decision-Making: The nature of Futarchy is that prediction is decision-making, and collective expectations have a direct impact on the outcome (e.g., which project in this experiment receives a grant). This is different from the general prediction market, which purely predicts external events, creating some unique dynamic challenges. As discussed in the OP forum, a voter has two orientations in Futarchy: First, to bet on popular projects in exile to ensure that they are funded (predicting correctly but not necessarily with high returns, because most people bet that way); Second, if the undervalued project is selected by the unusual, the personal benefit is greatest if it turns out that the minority is right. This dual nature of voting and betting makes participants a little confused. At the same time, when the prediction itself shapes the future (because the flow of money affects the development of the project), Futarchy has a certain cycle of self-realization or self-defeat: everyone presses a project well, and resources are given to it, and it naturally has a better chance of success; On the other hand, even if it could have succeeded, it failed because it did not have the resources. This closed loop requires the Futarchy experiment to be carefully interpreted for its prediction accuracy and designed to mitigate the bias of this self-proving loop. In this Futarchy experiment, we see not only how governance mechanisms are being "gambled", but also the potential of Degen in the prediction market – they are no longer just profit-seeking passers-by, but potential professional governors. Only when the institutional design can anchor Degen's energy to the public goal, let speculation become co-construction, and let betting become judgment, will Futarchy have a chance to activate the regenerative governance spirit (Regen) that belongs to Web3. This experiment awakens the possibility that governance does not have to be puritanical rational negotiation, but can also be deeply gamified consensus formation. Awakening Degen's Regen bloodline may be the evolutionary direction of DAO governance in the future.
