Topps MLB
Baseball card NFTs on WAX
Topps and Wax debuted the Major League Baseball (MLB) Series 1 NFT collection on the Wax blockchain on April 20th. The iconic Major League Baseball brand teamed up with the Wax blockchain to deliver another brand-affiliated NFT collection.
GarudaSwap
DeFi on Binance Smart Chain
GarudaSwap is a new decentralized exchange, and yield farming project on Binance Smart Chain, which has surged to impressive levels just days after its official launch. Within days the platform reached $23 million in TVL. Unlike other farms, in GarudaSwap each transfer of GARUDA must pay an 8% transfer tax. Approximately 90% of the transfer tax gets added back to the liquidity pool through the contract automatically to raise the GARUDA price continuously.
ParaSwap
Multichain DeFi
ParaSwap has seen a huge surge in transaction volume recently. This has propelled the new finance app to 17th position in the DappRadar overall dapp rankings at the time of writing. Interestingly the token exchange launched on Ethereum back in December 2020, arrived on Polygon in the second week of April 2021 and has very recently launched on BSC. The user experience and general design of ParaSwap come as a breath of fresh air as most token swap platforms look and feel similar to the leading token swap platform Uniswap. One other key difference to other token exchanges is the visibility of the token’s historical value and the order routing. Again, not revolutionary features but executed nicely.
Tpunks
NFT Collectibles on Tron
Just like Ethereum had CryptoPunks as their first digital collectible NFTs, now the Tron blockchain has Tpunks. For 1,000 TRX or around $120, users can mint one of the first NFTs on Tron. Tpunks are TRC721 tokens, the newly implemented token standard for NFTs on the Tron blockchain. They’ve issued 10,000 Tpunks, similar to the original CryptoPunks. There are 9 aliens, 24 apes, 88 zombies, and 11 Justins among them. Yes, at least Tpunks adds a bit of their own Sun sauce to the mix.
