Cardano Gaming Newsletter #10:From Lore to Leaderboards, Cardano Gaming Is Leveling Up

Welcome back to your weekly window into the world of Cardano gaming.

This week marks a small milestone—our 10th edition—and with it, we’re expanding. You’ll notice a wider range of projects, genres, and mechanics being covered, from browser MMOs and lore-driven airdrops to high-stakes tournaments and deflationary token economies.

The reason? The Cardano gaming ecosystem is growing fast—and this Digest grows with it. Whether you're a longtime holder or just discovering these projects, you'll find more variety, more updates, and more reasons to explore.

As always, I’m not just reporting—I’m testing, researching, and diving into the games myself. This is the journey of an explorer just like you.

Let’s jump into what’s been happening across the Cardano gaming frontier

📰 Cornucopias Launches Public Node Delegation

Cornucopias has activated Public Node Delegation, a new system that allows players to earn participation rewards by delegating their nodes to public pools—without needing to operate a node themselves.

This replaces the old registration-based reward mechanism and introduces a more flexible model where delegation becomes the primary method to remain eligible for rewards.

Key details:

• 99% of rewards come from participation, with just 1% tied to node performance

• Pool operators must define their fee before accepting delegations

• Delegation can be managed via the Public Pool Dashboard

• Previously registered nodes still earn rewards, but will eventually need to be delegated

A full walkthrough is available on YouTube for those looking to understand how the new system works.

🦌 Stag Alliance Closes Season 2 with 34.7K ADA Airdrop

Season 2 of Stag Alliance has officially ended, with over 34,700 ADA being distributed to holders who staked their NFTs.

More than 500 participants engaged with the season's mechanics, which included combo bonuses, promise stakes, Seer boosts, and hero contributions—all designed to reward active participation and deepen community engagement.

Season 3 will bring revamped mechanics and new growth-focused incentives, alongside the continuation of Stag Alliance’s innovative model of funding rewards through book sales.

🎮 My Journey

This season, I’ll be receiving 25 ADA in staking rewards. Back in Season 1, I earned 147 ADA—largely because I made better use of bonuses and promise staking.

This time, I kept it simple with basic staking across my 10 NFTs (which currently have a floor price of 48 ADA). Still, it’s amazing to see consistent passive income just for holding and staking.

💀 Graveyard Antics Releases Pre-Release v4.0.1 with Web3 Enabled

Graveyard Antics, the tower defense game built by the Congregation of the Bones project, has just launched Pre-Release v4.0.1. This major update went live after an intense development sprint—14+ hour days over two weeks focused on crushing bugs and refining the experience.

The game is now fully Web3-enabled and playable at ofthebones.xyz, with tournaments already in the pipeline. It marks a huge milestone for a team that blends storytelling, dark humor, and real-world purpose.

🧠 My Journey
This week, I wrote an article spotlighting this project—and it’s one of the most compelling NFT projects I’ve seen. Not just because of the game, but because of their mission to raise awareness about mental health through their storytelling and design. Please check them out and show some love.

🏎️ Speed Throne Enters Its Deflationary Era + Delta Series NFT Drop

Speed Throne just hit two major milestones:
✅ $CRS airdrop distributed
✅ Final private and public token unlock completed

This officially marks the beginning of their deflationary era, with 70 million $SPEED tokens set to be burned. This strategic move aims to reduce supply and strengthen the token's long-term value.

Meanwhile, the team is gearing up for the Delta Series NFT Drop:
🚗 200 unique car NFTs (10 models × 20 factions)
💰 Mint price: 50K–400K $SPEED (first-come, first-served)
🔥 100% of $SPEED used is burned
💸 Cashback: Hold for 3 months and earn up to 100% of your $SPEED back

With $SPEED trading near all-time lows, the project positions this moment as a prime opportunity to accumulate before the burn and NFT mint.

🚶‍♂️ Walkers Airdrops Over 10,000 ADA Worth of $WLK in PayDay 22

The Walkers App continues delivering major value to its users. In PayDay 22, over 1.2 billion $WLK tokens—equivalent to more than 10,000 ADA—were airdropped across the community, including bonuses from partner projects.

With nearly 13 billion $WLK now staked, the project is gradually reducing its reward supply to preserve token sustainability. The airdrop is being rolled out in multiple phases to minimize sell pressure ahead of the point swap launch.

Meanwhile, WHub, their geo-location marketing platform, is getting a major upgrade this week. Soon, you'll see minted spots on the interactive globe and new tools for editing locations—just in time as businesses begin reserving prime real estate in the system.

With 3x S21+ launches, the WAirdrop, and full map rewards all scheduled for July, Walkers is setting a strong pace for the months ahead.

🎙️ From Cristian’s Desk

Thanks for reading another packed edition of the Digest.
This week, we went wide—covering 13 different games, including many first-time appearances that show just how fast this ecosystem is evolving.

From staking-based airdrops and combat tests to mental health awareness games and deflationary NFT mechanics, Cardano gaming is no longer a niche—it’s a full-on universe with countless ways to play, earn, and contribute.

I’m especially excited to see how community-driven tournaments, educational mechanics, and cross-project collaborations keep shaping the future here.

As for me, I’m back to focusing more on the gaming side after weeks of deep involvement organizing Azteca 2025, a major Cardano event in Mexico. Thanks again to everyone who supported—it was unforgettable.

If you found something valuable in today’s Digest, consider sharing it or forwarding it to someone who should be paying attention to what’s being built here.

See you next Monday.
