In September, the base network (the Ethereum de Coinbase solution) made an unexpected breakthrough in the universe of NFT. Carried by the DX Terminal game, the ecosystem has exceeded its rivals in number of sales. A signal that shows that a mixture of creativity, AI and fun can wake up a market generally losing speed.
In short
- DX Terminal propelled the NFT sales network in September with more than 1.27 million transactions, an increase of more than 1000 % in a month.
- While the global NFT market is declining strongly, only projects related to gaming like DX Terminal and Guild of Guardians display growth, unlike large traditional collections like Bayc or cryptopunks.
Base takes the lead with DX Terminal
With 1.27 million sales, DX Terminal rose to first place in the ranking. It is more than 1,000 % increase in one month. At his side, other projects like Basepaint have made it possible on the basis of placing five collections in the top 10. Clearly, we are no longer faced with an isolated brilliance.
On the other hand, side financial volumes, Polygon and Ethereum keep the advantage of NFT. Courtyard (Polygon) dominates with $ 43.9 million, followed by Moonbirds and Cryptopunks (Ethereum). DX Terminal, despite its success, arrives fourth with $ 25.5 million, but signs a record increase of 1,700 %. Base therefore makes noise on sales, even if the big underside still run elsewhere.
The success of DX Terminal comes mainly from its concept. Each NFT is an autonomous character controlled by an AI, plunged into a sort of retro-futuristic simulation. These characters interact, compete and evolve according to the choices of the players. It is alive, unpredictable and above all entertaining.
Unlike classic NFT games, there is no promise of financial gains. No “Play-to-Earn” where we earn tokens to resell. Here, the currency of the game, called a webcoin, is out of chain and has no real value. The team insists: Any external token pretending to be official is a scam.
This choice changes everything. The players remain for fun and curiosity, not to speculate. The AI creates unique stories, which makes experience more engaging than the repetitive mechanics of many P2E projects.
A market nft decreases, except for games
September was difficult for large NFT collections. Cryptopunks, Bower and Pudgy Penguins have seen their volume of exchanges plunge from 50 to 60 %. Even Courtyard and Moonbirds, however at the top of the volumes, fell by around 25 % and 13 %.
In this context, only two projects are distinguished: DX Terminal and Guild of Guardians Heroes (an RPG on immutable). Both are related to video games, proof that the gaming sector is better with general weariness.
The interest moves. There is less appeal for simple prestige images, but more desire to participate in interactive experiences. And that's exactly where DX Terminal is just hitting.
Base turns out to be a new creative scene for NFT. Thus, DX Terminal proves that we can seduce the public without promising financial gains, simply with a fun experience and animated by AI.
The global market remains dominated by Ethereum and Polygon in terms of volumes, but the trend is clear. Interactive and fun projects draw attention when “Blue Chips” stagnate.
