After receiving a 1 BNB creator reward from Binance Square, I rushed to my WeChat KYC blockchain gaming player group and the chat group that Binance Square is testing at 6 o'clock, each sending a 50u red envelope.
The red envelope in the Binance Square chat group was snatched up in 2 seconds, taken by bots first, and the 50u was likely wasted.
In the WeChat group, because each person entering the group has to review NFT assets, everyone in the group is a real person, and the 400R red envelope took 20 seconds to be snatched up.
I have already given feedback to my colleague @yingbinance who is working on the creator community for Binance Square, hoping that the chat group will also add the function of group entry review, otherwise, if this continues, the group will likely be occupied by bots.
I have to say, Brother Ying's support for the small KOLs on Binance Square is very on point. Two years ago, when I only had a little over 2000 followers on Twitter, Brother Ying invited me to open an account on Binance Square. Last year, during the blockchain game live stream, Brother Ying also taught me step by step.
I feel that my follower count and the view count of my award-winning posts are insignificant compared to those KOLs who are trading, but I still managed to receive the content creator reward on the 18th.
This perfectly reflects Binance Square's determination to embrace all Web3 sub-sectors and ensure that everyone benefits. This is quite rare!
What I see in Binance Square is not just a social network for traders, but a social network for the entire Web3 ecosystem, including builders and users.
Small KOLs who want to make the list and earn this 1 BNB reward should also get excited! There are too many KOLs in the trading sector, so choosing some niche sectors and topics that aren't currently so hot, and digging deep into the content, might be an opportunity for small KOLs to stand out.

Trump Coin $Trump has dropped significantly today. Players interested in the Trump Monopoly game who saw my previous unlocking message must have avoided losses, right?
Don't rush to go all in and buy the dip. Over in the US, the owner of Coinbase and Trump are still fighting over the Clarity Act. The market has already dropped today, and if the Clarity Act is completely shelved this week, the market will plummet further. It won't be too late to buy the dip then; I'm planning to buy small dips before the game launches on January 30.
Looking at the screenshot posted by the official Trump Millionaire game Twitter account this morning, the game seems to consume a lot. Upgrading a plot in the VIP map costs 11,700 gold bars each time.
Keep in mind, I opened three mystery boxes, each yielding only 750 gold bars, and I've seen very few players get more than 750.
Opening 10 blue mystery boxes only gives you 7,500 gold bars. Even with good luck, you might get up to 10,000 gold bars—still not enough to upgrade a plot in the VIP map once.
This screenshot data is already discouraging me. It's clearly a playground for pay-to-win players; regular players can't keep up.
I really hope this screenshot is just an illustration, not actual in-game consumption data.
Trump Coin rose 6% today. Considering that on January 19th, the coin will unlock 5.09% in a single day, the price has been rising recently. Be cautious—there's a risk the price could crash dramatically around the 19th as the operators may be dumping at a high price.
Of course, if the game launches tomorrow and runs well from the start, players might get discounts when buying in-game assets with Trump tokens, which could create strong demand for Trump Coin. The price might even rise further.

It's a bit surprising because the current blockchain game sector is very cold. Many blockchain games starting in 2025 have not generated a wealth effect, and even the projects result in a lose-lose situation for players, leading to low traffic for posts sharing blockchain game content.
However, it should also be because of this reason that there are very few creators writing blockchain game content, which is why I made it onto the list.
Grateful! I will continue to share my experiences of blockchain game projects that I believe have value.

The winners for January 18 have been announced, looking for useful information, not nonsense! @加密龐克 @PhyrexNi @几木 @Cathy姐玩链游 @投机实验室 @BroLEON
The content post I wrote about blockchain games (the closed beta test experience of the game Ungodly by the American blockchain game company AzraGames) was also seen at Binance Square, and I can receive a reward of 1 BNB!
I'm very surprised and grateful!
The blockchain gaming sector started to cool down a bit from 2025, which I think reflects the periodic evolution of the entire Web3 industry. In fact, apart from perpetual DEX contract trading, stablecoins, stock on-chain, and DeFi wealth management, other Web3 sectors were quite cold last year, and a few sectors like DAT briefly heated up but then cooled down again.
However, I believe that as long as the builders and users in each sector are reviewing and evolving, it’s just a matter of time before each sector becomes a hotspot again.
I will continue to pay attention to the hot information in the blockchain gaming sector while sharing my experiences playing blockchain games with the gamers/enthusiasts at Binance Square.
I have stayed in Paris, sat in cafes, walked by the Seine, but I felt nothing, just a worker on a business trip.

Indeed, Tian Pojun really does not understand the lives of most women. Otherwise, she wouldn't say that every woman should visit Paris once to experience life in Paris. Tian Pojun said in her own program: "I suggest every woman spend a little money to visit Paris, at least stay for a week, sit in a Parisian café, even if it's just to watch the women on the street." When Tian Pojun said this, she probably thought of herself as a noble, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t casually say such things. After all, the women who can stay in Paris for a week are truly a small number. Most women are busy working and taking care of children, and they simply do not have that much time. The time they can be alone is very limited, let alone spending a week in Paris. One can only sigh that Wang Shi has spoiled Tian Pojun so much that she thinks every woman can be as free as she is. $BNB {future}(BNBUSDT)
Openloot is taking advantage of the launch of the Trump Monopoly game to attract new users.
I just saw that my Openloot account received the credit of the $OL token shown in the picture. When using the $OL token to pay for mainstream/major product purchases at participating merchants in Openloot activities (which are the various blockchain games on the Openloot platform), you can enjoy a discount of up to 25%.
A 25% discount is quite substantial. Previously, I bought NFTs for the Trump game using USDC on the base chain, which cost me an extra 25%.
This credit of 296 $OL tokens was obtained from trading the NFTs of the Trump Monopoly game on the Openloot platform.
I speculate that the Trump Monopoly game will soon announce discounts for purchasing game NFTs with the $TRUMP token, and the discount might exceed 25%.
Otherwise, the on-chain liquidity brought by the popularity of the Trump Monopoly game will all be taken away by the Openloot token OL.
The game was originally scheduled to launch on January 1, but it has been delayed to January 15, and now it has to be delayed again. The App Store shows January 30, but the official game Twitter has not made any announcements.
On Saturday morning, they also sent out an NFT airdrop to pre-registered users who completed the KYC for their openloot accounts.
This directly crashed the NFT prices.
The White Tower was 30u the day before yesterday, 21u yesterday, 4u this morning, and now it's 7u.
Other NFTs have also dropped, with varying degrees of price decline.
This operation is a bit shabby...
However, some players bought the dip this morning, getting the White Tower at 4u and the briefcase at 20u, which are both very good buying prices.
When I saw the airdrop news this morning, the White Tower was at 4.5u, but I didn't have much confidence to add to my position, as it might drop again next week with the airdrop; it's better to wait a bit before buying.
The price of Axie Infinity has skyrocketed inexplicably, a rare occurrence in years, like a resurrection.
The question is whether the market maker is manipulating the price.
Because it seems that not many people are playing the game anymore, today there were no large numbers of players buying and holding AXS tokens.
So it’s left to the market makers to operate.
After playing blockchain games for so long and so many, the games that issued tokens have become "games are games, tokens are tokens."
Having lost so much already, one should learn not to link the products of blockchain games with token prices. They are fundamentally two different matters, two parallel lines, each doing their own thing, only issuing some positive information about the game products when it’s time to pump the tokens.
After the pump, someone has to take the price, and if no one does, it will only crash.
We don’t know who the market maker is, and we certainly don’t know who would take the price at the current level, but it’s definitely not me, over.
Last night I tried out the blockchain game @AzraGames developed, @UngodlyGame, during the closed beta test in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
Since I am in Singapore, it took me several days to download the game. I had to register for an Australian Google account and bought a 5-year PureVPN subscription during the Christmas sales to get it done.
The game quality is very much to my liking.
The art quality is top-notch; compared to most web2 RPG mobile games on the market, it is considered above average with a quality score of 85+.
The basic RPG gameplay is standard, still revolving around task-driven combat and leveling up.
It incorporates character card draws and development gameplay.
The combat mechanism is also similar to Genshin Impact, allowing for real-time switching of characters within a four-member team.
The only downside is that the test does not have a Chinese language option, making the storyline quite challenging to follow. We are used to clicking to move to the next page while reading the story, but in this game, the storyline text plays automatically in a rapid scroll, and for those who are not native English speakers, it is hard to read quickly before it ends.
So, last night while testing, I felt quite lonely as I didn’t understand the story background or plot. I looked up other people's introductions in the community but found nothing.
I just started playing and haven't reached the part where I interact with other players; doing tasks, combat, and leveling up alone is quite lonely.
Most Chinese players still prefer PVP and GVG, as at least there is some light social interaction in those games. Playing PVE alone is too lonely; it reminds me of playing NieR: Automata on my PS4, where I controlled 2B wandering aimlessly in the desert. After a while, I had to go out to the supermarket and other crowded places to soak up some social energy before coming back to continue. Playing single-player games can feel too desolate emotionally.
I hope that when @UngodlyGame officially launches, there will be Chinese localization.
I will continue to play the test these days to see if there are any on-chain gameplay designs and economic systems. If I find anything, I will share it.
Players who are testing @UngodlyGame are welcome to leave comments and interact, sharing your testing experiences.
Wanquan, has anyone participated in the soft launch of Azra Games' first game Ungodly, which raised $68.3 million in financing from 2022-2024?
The official website mentions that the soft launch will only take place in New Zealand/Australia/Canada. I asked around and found that very few people in the Asia-Pacific region are paying attention.
Please share any unofficial project information and community updates.

The originally scheduled January 15 launch of the Trump Monopoly blockchain game seems to be delayed to January 30. The Apple app download page has already updated the launch date to January 30, but the Android version has not yet been updated.
Apple has always had strict review standards for blockchain games. If in-game purchases are made directly on the blockchain instead of within the app—such as players who bought game mystery boxes or opened them for in-game items having already paid using Base chain USDC or $TRUMP tokens via Openloot—Apple would not collect its 30% commission on these transactions. Given Apple's stance, this would definitely be unacceptable, and the Trump game wouldn't pass.
Last week, when I pre-registered for Trump Monopoly on Google Play, it still listed January 15 as the launch date. Yesterday, the date was gone, but no new date was listed. The official Twitter account for the Trump game has not yet announced any delay in the launch date.
It's still early morning on January 15 in the U.S., with Eastern Time around 5 a.m. I'll keep monitoring tonight.
The price of the Trump Monopoly NFT on Openloot has already dropped. The White Tower was selling for 30u yesterday, now down to 21.5u. The price of the $TRUMP token has also declined.
If the game doesn't launch today, it would strongly suggest the team is somewhat amateurish, indicating they can't successfully get the game approved on the Apple App Store.
Kaito and Yaps step into history, a single sentence from Musk can kill a cryptocurrency project valued at 500 million dollars. This is also why many institutions want to create decentralized Web3 social platforms; an account with a project won't be easily killed by a single sentence, which is very important. However, decentralized social platforms struggle to survive; issues like gambling, drugs, and scam information require centralized regulation to avoid, or else it becomes a blatant dark web.
When Kaito first came out, I also talked about it for a while, there really wasn't that much content to share about chain games, I only managed to get over 100 NXPC rewards from Adventure Island chain games, just joining the fun.
IBKR Interactive Brokers has launched 24/7 USDC stablecoin deposits on the Solana blockchain.
Original: Breaking news--Global retail and institutional brokerage Interactive Brokers has added 24/7 deposit services based on the Solana network for USDC.
So retail investors can directly deposit USDC from the Solana chain into their IBKR stock accounts.
I checked my MooMoo stock account, and it has long been possible to buy 16 types of cryptocurrencies in the app, but deposits can currently only be made using US dollars and Singapore dollars, and direct transfers of USDC are not yet allowed. The global financial landscape is starting off very strong in 2026. I haven't logged into my IBKR account for a long time, I've forgotten my password, I'll retrieve my password tonight and check if IBKR in Singapore has enabled stablecoin chain deposits.

To be honest, seeing the words 'Creator Onboarding: Real-time Trading Access, Early Traffic Access, Future Bonus Sharing,' I think OKX Planet likely only focuses on trading content within the community.
Web3 applications aren't their priority, so they didn't even mention it, let alone creators like me who focus solely on blockchain gaming apps.
Compared to Binance Square, when I had only 2,000 followers on Twitter, Ying from Binance Square @yingbinance reached out to invite me personally.
Now I have 22,000 followers on Binance Square, which is quite impressive in the relatively quiet blockchain gaming niche.
Today contributed a lot of activity to Solana Seeker, deposited funds, downloaded several apps, linked wallets, played a few games, and even bought Circle stock in the wallet.
Not sure about the security of the Seeker mobile wallet, it's still uncomfortable using blockchain on an Android device, so I'm hesitant to transfer much money in.
The airdrop for the second-generation Solana phone has been found, with only 5000 $SKR, which is not bad.
The drawback of this phone is that the configuration is too low; even my middle school child complained about it, let alone using this phone for gaming and trading.
So after receiving the phone in the mail, I only turned it on twice, minted the owner’s SBT soul-bound NFT in the wallet, and claimed the cathyque.skr address.
I only found the dusty phone yesterday after seeing the airdrop and charged it.
With extremely low-end specifications, it corresponds to low-net-worth users and is only suitable for basic use...
I was glad to have a chance to chat with Linda during my brief visit to Shanghai last month.
Linda used to work at Water Drop Capital under Dashan Zong, frequently traveling to Singapore, where she also reviewed many blockchain games. We met years ago while hiking in Singapore and have stayed in touch ever since.
It's rare to find someone still paying attention to the blockchain gaming sector; many people believe it's already dead. In this conversation with Linda, I shared my views on the current state and future development of blockchain gaming.
Blockchain gaming isn't dead yet—tomorrow, the 'Game of the Trump Emperor' will launch simultaneously on AppStore, Google Play, and the web.
Whether it will collapse quickly like many previous blockchain games remains to be seen—let's wait and see.
The interview link is pinned at the top of the comments.
