Some of the cryptocrypto communities top creators, investors, and advocates have larger-than-life personalities—so large, in fact, that a game studio has turned them into superheroes for an upcoming blockchain-based collectible card set.
Blockchain Heroes is the creation of Joel Comm and Travis Wright, co-hosts of The Bad Crypto Podcast, and the digital card set features 50 different heroes in its debut set releasing this August. As the name teases, all of them are based on people from throughout the blockchainblockchain world.
Some of the heroes teased so far include Captain Currency, The Prophet, Lady Lightning, and Data Avenger. None of the personalities have been officially revealed just yet, but Comm told Decrypt that the community chatter around roster could be a metagame of sorts.

“The cards are a parody of real personalities, but we aren't releasing the names of who inspired each hero,” said Comm. “However, it will be obvious for many of the heroes. Some others might lead to interesting community conversation and debate.”
Blockchain Heroes runs on the WAX blockchain and was funded via a grant from WAX Labs. Each card is individually minted as a non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain, and the packs will have a randomized selection of cards within. Cards will be available at different rarity levels, ranging from common up to mythic, with varying designs for each level.
According to Comm, the 50 heroes are sorted between five categories: Celestials (investors), Creators (inventors), Defenders (advocates), Champions (personalities), and Boosters (communicators). And a second set is a very real possibility, too.
Atari helped kick off the gaming revolution, and now the brand—which has changed hands many times since the 1970s—aims to help lead the crypto revolution in gaming with its recently-revealed Atari Token and online casino plans.

Developers who use Arkane Network tools will...
“We started filling in heroes [and] there are so many we could choose from,” said Comm. “So if the set is well-accepted, perhaps there will be a second series.”
Blockchain Heroes was announced in the wake of Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids digital trading cards on WAX. The set sold out in 28 hours, with today’s release claiming secondary market resale values of up to 25 times the original price.
Bitcoin miner Bitdeer in May minted 196 BTC, an increase of over 18% from April—the latest monthly gain registered by a publicly traded miner as the industry slowly recovers from headwinds caused by a dip in the leading cryptocurrency's price and rising difficulty. Nasdaq-listed Bitdeer (BTDR) reported Wednesday that it also increased its hashrate to 13.6 exahash per second from 12.4 the previous month, due to new mining machinery. Exahash is a measurement of computational power. Data from Far...
Video game retailer GameStop said on Wednesday that it plans to offer $1.75 billion worth of convertible senior notes to investors, according to a company press release.

Convertible notes allow a buyer to convert the debt into common stock under certain conditions. Although GameStop purchased 4,710 Bitcoin last month, the compa...
