🎮 Cardano Gaming Digest #7

Welcome back to your weekly dose of Cardano gaming insights—where we track what’s building, launching, and reshaping the space.

This week brings big shifts across several ecosystems: token upgrades, feature-packed game updates, and another example of Cardano-native projects gaining global recognition.

We're also expanding the Digest with a new section to keep you informed about recurring community events you won’t want to miss.

As always, every headline comes with a peek into my personal journey—what I’m watching, where I’m jumping in, and what I’m learning along the way.

Let’s dive into what’s been happening across Cardano gaming 👇

📰 SlapVentures Launches EDU Series to Teach Kids Financial Literacy

SlapVentures just dropped Episode #1 of its new educational series aimed at teaching children what traditional schools often leave out—how to save, earn, and invest.

Backed by data from Harvard, which shows kids form money habits by age 7, the project uses games, books, animations, and token rewards ($SLAP) to make financial education fun and accessible from an early age.

📝 My Opinion: A great way to introduce financial literacy to kids in a fun and meaningful way.

📰 Cornucopias Wins CardanoLands Poll—Now Earning Free Staking Rewards

CardanoLands announced that Cornucopias won the latest Land Owner poll, granting 2 weeks of free staking rewards to holders of Cornucopias-related NFTs through the Kingdom App.

Projects can earn permanent staking status by receiving additional votes through the use of $EXO tokens—giving the community direct influence over rewards.

📰 Machiavellic Launches Outlaw Troopers Convoy with 300K $OLT in Rewards

📰 Cardania Continues Miner Expansion as Facility 01 Nears Full Activation

Cardania has announced it’s about two weeks away from having all current ASIC miners installed and running at Facility 01.

🎙️ From Cristian’s Desk

Thanks for reading this week’s Digest! 🙌

Last week we ran a Cardano Gaming Digest giveaway to celebrate the growing support from readers and projects alike—thanks to everyone who participated!

Expect more community-focused activities like this in the near future.

On a personal note, things have been moving fast—I'm currently helping organize Azteca 2025, a major Cardano event happening in Mexico on May 27 & 29.

It’s a community-led effort driven by Cardano México, which I co-founded. While that means I’ve had less time for deep dives lately, I remain fully committed to exploring and sharing what’s happening in Cardano gaming.

As always, “My Move” highlights what I’m personally doing or planning to do with each project—not financial advice, just my journey through the ecosystem.

Thanks for being here, and if you want to follow the journey in real time, I’m posting updates on X: @CrisRo0787

See you next Monday!
