Temporary Service Disruption for Nami Wallet
A technical issue has been detected with the Nami wallet, leading to a temporary disruption for its users. Input Output is actively conducting a review to identify and rectify the cause of the malfunction. During this period, specific features of the wallet have been disabled as a preventive measure.
Affected users are advised to halt all wallet activities until further notice. For those potentially impacted, a formal process for incident reporting will be introduced shortly, focusing on individual case assessments. Preliminary information suggests a limited number of users are experiencing problems. Read More.
Midnight Devnet Goes Public
Midnight is a blockchain designed to facilitate the creation of decentralized applications (DApps) with a focus on data protection and privacy, utilizing zero-knowledge (ZK) technology built by Input Output.
The Midnight development sandbox, initially opened to a select group of developers in late 2023, has now made its groundbreaking transition to public accessibility as of February 26, 2024. This pivotal move invites developers worldwide to explore and innovate within the Midnight ecosystem, leveraging its unique features and capabilities.
About the Devnet
The Midnight devnet serves as an experimental sandbox, offering developers a risk-free zone to test, refine, and perfect their applications. This environment is crucial for identifying potential issues and fine-tuning DApps without the risk of impacting real users or assets. It's an open invitation to developer organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, and blockchain enthusiasts to contribute to the evolution of the Midnight ecosystem.

A New Vision for Gaming
Flux Point Studios (FPS) is a gaming studio on Cardano with a mission to revolutionize the gaming industry, moving beyond traditional models that prioritize profit over player experience. Founded by a professional gamer with deep industry insights, FPS aims to transform how games are developed, played, and valued. Their vision is to create a gaming ecosystem that rewards players for their participation and contributions, challenging the status quo of the gaming world, and yes all of this on Cardano!
The Problem with Traditional Gaming
Traditional gaming studios have long capitalized on extracting value from players through in-game purchases and premium content, offering little to no return on investment. These practices, while profitable for studios, often leave players with obsolete assets and a diminished gaming experience. FPS recognizes this unsustainable model and proposes a new paradigm that values player engagement and investment.
Introducing $SHARDS: A Community-Driven Model
At the heart of FPS's innovative approach is $SHARDS, a utility token that empowers players to influence game development, participate in governance, and contribute to the Flux Point ecosystem. $SHARDS represents a shift towards a community-driven model, where players have a real stake in the games they play. This collaborative approach ensures that FPS games evolve in ways that resonate with the community, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
PIT BRAWL - A PLAY TO EARN GAME ON CARDANO
FPS invites players to experience their vision firsthand with PFP’s Pit Brawl, a Play to Earn game that's already live on the Cardano Blockchain.
Pit Brawl stands out for its innovative approach, rewarding the top 10 players on the leaderboard with $SHARDS tokens through DripDropz Instant Rewards every week. This game exemplifies FPS's commitment to rewarding player skill and participation, offering a glimpse into the future of gaming.
