Been part of the @onchainheroes ecosystem since the start. Whaled into it and played Seasons 1 and 2. Web3 Gaming has been absolutely trashed, but @Skarly is one of the few gaming founders who have carried the torch for onchain gaming and have consistently done right by their holders. Collected 11 Ringbearers, ~150 Heroes, and a ton of mythic weapons, armor, materials, and other gear (peaking at ~200k USD worth of ecosystem assets). Ringbearers give you 1 GTD mint spot in @YieldFields_RH and are trading at 1.2e right now. My stake in OCH has yielded 14 GTD spots in the mint, which would cost about ~17e (40k) worth of Ringbearer NFTs. I'm going to mint all my deeds and participate in the new game. @YieldFields_RH, Skarly's new onchain game, is minting in a few days and looks like one of the most interesting onchain games to come out in the past few years, especially given Skarly's previous game. Onchain Heroes assets went pretty crazy at the first mint, and it looks like YF takes a lot of OCH's lessons and improves on them. The market is in the shitter right now, and RHC liquidity has retreated, but I still think this game will see a lot of demand. Deeds could be worth multiple ETH if the ecosystem plays out as designed. The deed assets give you a real stake in the ecosystem, since each deed is a limited factory NFT that produces items farmers/players need to optimize their yields. The economy and NFT design seem to have taken some lessons from @standard_rsv (I believe @0xbeans helped Skarly with the game ecosystem/tokenomics): every deed is backed by ETH from the mint/trading fees locked into the deed NFT, which must be burned to claim. Multiple buildings can be built on the deed, which are sellable on the market and highly needed for the economy. Basically, the deeds will be highly useful, earn from the economy, and be highly sought after. Obviously, it's a bet on Yeild Fields and Skarly making this work, but it's a bet I will make. It's also going to be fucking fun, which matters just as much. This could be highly profitable, or just profitable, or maybe not at all. But it's going to be fun, and I want to have fun. So I'm going to play the game rather than take an early exit here. A side note: Given that @AbstractChain basically soft-rugged every developer who built on them and used XP as a fake carrot-on-a-stick to incentivize volume and liquidity, all Abstract assets are pretty much fucked. As someone who had a ton of XP (made entirely from participating in OCH, not farming), it sucks to see Abstract basically pull the same playbook @PirateNationFDN did with POP points. @LucaNetz made what was probably the right business decision (and closing the chain down was the right call here), but it wasn't moral, given the stream of false promises that had thousands of suckers spend money to support the chain. I don't think Luca will recover his reputation from this, given how it's been handled. The amount of toxicity around all IP assets now tied to Luca is high. Sad state to see. What does this mean for OCH? OCH basically saved Abstract at the start as the only app that actually gave volume. Even after Abstract went to shit by mid 2025 and the team started fucking around, OCH kept giving most of the real volume to the chain. I'm glad to see OCH and Skarly move all future developments off Abstract. So that's good news here. Unfortunately, Onchain Heroes assets were all on Abstract. The good news is that it looks like there is going to be some kind of bridge for OCH assets to be 'burned' into a single unified NFT collection that is going to have some form of ownership/stake in Skarly's gaming studio or future games. I guess that means all OCH assets, like Heroes, armor, weapons, and the like, will be convertible via a burn into a new ecosystem NFT or token (ERC-404), which will clean up the ecosystem quite a bit. Going to be interesting to see and I think a very positive direction for the holders and team.
