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.

ViaBTC CEO Yang Haipo Says AI Is Raising the Value of Prime Power Sites, Not Necessarily Forcing Bitcoin Mining Out

ViaBTC CEO Yang Haipo argues that the current shift of listed mining companies toward AI and HPC does not mean Bitcoin mining is being eliminated. In his view, AI and mining are not competing for the same machines, since GPUs are not viable for Bitcoin mining and SHA-256 ASICs cannot run large models. The real competition is for upstream resources: chip capacity, capital, land, power, and, most importantly, sites with ready grid access and supporting infrastructure. Yang points to recent operating data to show why miners are reallocating resources. Core Scientific posted a self-mining gross margin of negative 56% in the second quarter, while its data center colocation business delivered nearly $80 million in gross profit. TeraWulf, meanwhile, derived about 71% of its revenue from HPC leasing in the same period. He says this explains why mining firms are redirecting power capacity, land, and capital toward AI workloads. Still, he argues Bitcoin mining retains a role where power is intermittent, stranded, or hard to monetize otherwise, including rooftop solar surplus, curtailed renewable generation, associated gas, remote small hydropower, and negative-price power periods. He also says Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment mechanism helps the network reprice mining economics after hash rate declines, while 2028’s fifth halving will be the next clearer stress test for the sector.
