Abstract Layer 2 network sparks heated discussions, Monsters project attracts follow

Latest news shows that the highly anticipated Layer 2 network Abstract has maintained high popularity since its autonomous online launch, consistently occupying the top position on the Kaito leaderboard. This effortless attention has made many projects that have invested a lot of resources in promotion envious.

Recently, an executive revealed in an interview that Abstract plans to issue tokens in the fourth quarter of this year, with an expected fully diluted market cap between $5 billion and $10 billion.

While some may question the feasibility of this goal or complain about the time and effort required for the development of Abstract, there are several undeniable facts:

1. Abstract is one of the most user-engaging Layer 2 networks, not aiming for an inflated total locked value, but focusing on user experience and enjoyment.

2. Some users have already found suitable ways to participate on this platform, allowing them to enjoy the process while having the opportunity to receive potential airdrop rewards in the future.

3. The asset value on Abstract is relatively independent and not easily affected by overall market fluctuations, with its NFT and Meme token markets showing a unique development trend.

In the coming month, Abstract will launch several highly anticipated NFT projects, including Monsters. This is an AI-driven gaming platform that plans to release its genesis NFT "Monster Capsules" in collaboration with a well-known NFT trading platform on May 21, with a release price of 0.125 ETH and a total supply of only 750.

According to the official introduction, "Monster Capsules" are the core assets of the Monsters ecosystem. Holders will receive the highest level of ecosystem rewards, including but not limited to first season Monster token whitelist eligibility, ecological airdrop opportunities, and exclusive in-game skins and accelerators, among other privileges.

The Monsters project mainly targets overseas users, and its popularity in the Chinese community is still low. Due to the limited number of genesis NFTs and their significant rights, the whitelist prices in the secondary market have already been driven up to around $600.

Core Features of the Monsters Project

1. Gameplay: AI Creation, Combat and Growth

Monsters has created a game project that combines entertainment and investment potential through AI-driven monster battles, an NFT economic model, and PvP game mechanics. Its core highlight lies in the autonomous evolution capability of AI agents and the close integration with the economic model.

Players can use AI to create unique Monsters and participate in PvP battles. In this process, the AI will record and analyze all battle data, continuously optimizing and enhancing the capabilities of the Monsters, allowing players to continually experience the joy (or frustration) of leveling up.

2. Professional team and advisory lineup

The project founder has extensive experience in developing innovative products and has collaborated with several well-known organizations. The market leader comes from an agency focused on Web3 marketing, which started fully supporting the Abstract ecosystem as early as the testnet phase.

The advisory team is strong, including many industry well-known figures, including core contributors from Abstract.

3. Obtain official support from the ecosystem

Last October, a certain Layer 2 network launched an elite builder program, which selected a total of 5 projects, including Monsters, through a rigorous screening process as its first members. These projects will receive various forms of official support, including financial funding, marketing support, technical assistance, and mentorship.

4. Active community atmosphere

The social media channels of Monsters mainly include Twitter and Discord. The official Twitter account has published 82 tweets since its creation last November, each receiving a high level of engagement. According to third-party data, the account's followers include a large number of global and Chinese influencers.

The Discord community opened in early May this year and currently has over 24,000 members. The total number of messages posted in public channels has exceeded 330,000, with an average of about 20,000 messages per day, showing a high level of activity. The community members are mainly overseas users, and even during late-night hours, the number of online users can approach 4,000.

5. Genesis NFT Issuance Plan

"Monster Capsules" is the genesis NFT to be launched by the Monsters project, with a total of 750 units. Holders will gain multiple benefits, including whitelist eligibility for the first season token, in-game performance boosts, additional ecosystem airdrop rewards, and exclusive game skins.

The NFT issuance plan includes a whitelist round and a public round. The whitelist round is scheduled for May 21, with a price of 0.125 ETH. The specific time and price for the public round have yet to be determined, but it is expected to only open a limited number of spots.

Ways to obtain a whitelist include participating in completed invitation competitions, creating relevant content, or joining lottery events held by partners. It is reported that a certain Chinese community will hold an online event in conjunction with the Monsters project team next week, which may provide some scarce whitelist slots.
