Crypto Trading Card Game 'Fantasy' Launches on Blast Mainnet, Securing $600,000 in Funding

New York, March 8, 2023 - Fantasy, the crypto trading card game that has generated significant traction during its testnet phase, has now officially launched on the Blast mainnet. This highly anticipated project, which allows users to trade crypto influencers depicted as trading cards, has garnered $600,000 in funding from reputable investors.

The successful launch of Fantasy follows a rigorous testnet phase during which the game gained substantial popularity. Influencers like Ansem played a key role in driving interest, with their trading cards generating significant testnet ETH trading volume and resulting in substantial rewards.

The project secured its funding in February from a consortium of investors including Alliance DAO, Manifold Trading, Fabric Ventures, and various angel investors. Notable angel investors include Santiago Santos of former ParaFi Capital, Bryan Pellegrino of LayerZero Labs, and the pseudonymous NFT influencer "money."

Fantasy offers a unique gameplay mechanic that allows users to participate in competitions using five of their cards. During the testnet phase, over 23,800 users engaged in these competitions, with a total of 75,000 registered users. The game's success on the mainnet will hinge on its ability to sustain this momentum.

"We are thrilled to announce the launch of Fantasy on the Blast mainnet," said a spokesperson for the project. "Our goal is to create a fun and engaging game that connects crypto influencers with their fans and empowers users to trade and collect cards featuring their favorite personalities."

In addition to its launch on the Blast mainnet, Fantasy is also offering a points airdrop based on user activity on social media platform X and on-chain metrics from several blockchains, including Blast. This airdrop serves as an incentive for users to engage with the game and its community.

Fantasy operates on Blast, a Layer 2 network on Ethereum that was launched on mainnet in February. Blast aims to provide a native-yield model for ether and stablecoins, offering 4% interest for ether and 5% for stablecoins. The network was developed by Tieshun Roquerre, the founder of the popular NFT marketplace Blur.

With its successful mainnet launch and the support of a notable team of investors, Fantasy is poised to become a major player in the crypto gaming space. The project's ability to attract and retain users will be crucial to its long-term success, and the team behind Fantasy is confident that they can build a vibrant and sustainable community around their innovative trading card game.
