💲 Ideas

[1] 🔔 Layer3 has announced a new campaign – The Infinity CUBEs

The project announced a new campaign called Infinity CUBEs, which will last for 6 weeks, i.e. until June 25th, and it is supposedly the last chance to get L3 tokens before TGE.

The gist of the campaign is to complete quests and collect 3 legendary cubes to get Trident of Worlds NFT.

For the first legendary cube it is needed to collect 30 regular cubes, but note that the cubes are counted only within this event. Old cubes do not count.

This campaign is not related to the previous ones and will have a separate token drop, as well as $500K in tokens from partners such as Bungee, Jumper, Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Arbitrum, Phantom, GMX, Sandbox, and others.

What to do?

• Connect the wallet here;
• Complete the available tasks. At the moment available quests with Radiant and Koi Finance, the rest will open up over time, so don't forget to log in and complete them.

[2] 🔔 XRP forecast: anticipating major moves

According to Alan Santana's technical analysis, despite using a 6-month projection, many believe XRP might start moving sooner than other major altcoins, potentially being one of the first to make significant moves upwards. 

It's been over 10 months since the last major bullish wave for XRP. Typically, there's a 6-8 month waiting period between such waves. The fact that XRP has been consolidating for so long after a correction is seen as a positive sign. 

Since March 2020, XRP has consistently produced higher lows. This indicates that buyers have been more dominant in shaping its long-term trajectory. While other cryptocurrency projects saw massive growth, XRP's growth remained relatively modest. 

XRP is expected to see significant movements in 2024 and 2025, potentially signaling the end of its accumulation phase. Once the upward trend starts, it's expected to be strong and sustained. 

Be prepared for a potential crypto market crash, but also anticipate significant growth for XRP.

*Any technical analysis, in the long run, cannot accurately predict the movement because now is a very tough market and the news can swing currencies in all directions.

[3] 🔔 Missed out on Notcoin?

No problems. Here are some more tap Telegram games (with 0 expenses):

• Memefi is a web-based blockchain game that combines humor and a lot of references to Internet memes. The game is essentially a symbiosis of role-playing, card games, base-building, and combat, the developers dream of creating one of the most diverse gameplay experiences in GameFi.
• Catizen is a game, a promising new Play to Airdrop project combining Metaverse, GameFi, and AI. Already collaborating with ANON (a token started by Sasha Notcoin) and Mantle. Judging by RoadMap, there should be a drop and listing of the token, which is planned for Q2 2024. Catizen has 35% of tokens allocated for airdrop. 
• Crypto Hamster is a clicker game where we need to take on the role of the director of one of the major crypto exchanges like Binance. Our goal is to tap on a coin with a hamster, scoring points. Airdrop will be, for sure, and listings as well.
• Blum is planned as a DeFI protocol with its own wallet, but at the moment there is none of that. Every 8 hours the farming button is reset, after which you need to re-enter the application, and brand points, and restart the whole process. The project is expected to be listed on Tier-1 exchanges.

Stay tuned for more updates and insights in our next edition. Happy trading! 🚀
