FUNVERSE's First On-Chain Game 'FUN LONGINUS' Goes Live on Anubis Chain Today

FUNVERSE's first on-chain game, FUN LONGINUS, goes live on the Anubis Chain mainnet today at 10:00 UTC (18:00 Beijing time). The title, born from a hackathon, is a wuxia-themed game built for the Anubis GameFi ecosystem. It draws on martial-arts elements like jianghu arenas, master-disciple lineage, and artifact mechanics, and structures its competitions around the 24 solar terms. Each round brings 24 unique addresses together, and players use the platform's fLGNS token to enter the arena. Smart contracts oversee match execution, outcome verification, and final settlement, with one league leader crowned at the end. All match records, reward distributions, mentorship links, and player histories remain stored on-chain. On August 18, FUN LONGINUS completed its 'shared casting' phase, which was valued at over $1.4 million at current market prices. The launch marks the game's official debut and adds a new on-chain gaming option to the Anubis ecosystem.

Crypto Market Pricing Shifts as Narrative Trades Fade and Fundamentals Gain Weight

Foresight said the crypto market’s pricing logic has changed in 2026, with momentum from pure narrative-driven trades weakening while investors pay closer attention to fundamentals, real user numbers, and revenue models. The article reviews how sector rotations that once powered DeFi Summer, NFT, GameFi, Restaking, and AI Agent trades are showing shorter life cycles, then contrasts that pattern with data from segments still showing usage growth, including stablecoins, real-world assets, and DeFi aggregators. It also points to regulation and macro liquidity as increasingly important variables in risk pricing. In the piece, GameFi is used as a case study of the gap between thematic excitement and user retention, while stablecoin settlement volumes, RWA holder growth, and Jupiter’s routing milestone are presented as signs that some on-chain demand remains resilient. Foresight added that market expectations around the U.S. CLARITY Act, along with rates, dollar liquidity, and broader risk-asset performance, are now exerting a stronger influence on crypto price action.

Proof of Play to shut down, while Pirate Nation Foundation continues backing $PIRATE

Proof of Play, a blockchain gaming studio and onchain technology company, said on Aug. 4 that it will cease operations. The company said it had initially believed games built with blockchain technology could help open a new decentralized internet, but it ultimately failed to create a product that could validate that idea at scale or support a sustainable business. As part of the wind-down, Proof of Play said it will open-source as much of its code and art assets as possible for future builders, including Pirate Nation-related apps, smart contracts, founder NFTs, and intellectual property released under a CC0 license. The company also said the Pirate Nation Foundation, which operates independently from Proof of Play, will continue to support the $PIRATE token and keep its website online. Proof of Play points will not be redeemable. Separately, Shiba Story Go! has been acquired by a third party and will continue operating independently.
