GhostMarket launched the GFUND, a single-sided staking-like feature that yields portions of daily minting rewards, trading fees, and exit fees accrued on the NFT marketplace. The GFUND initially launched on Neo N3, the blockchain with the most activity on GhostMarket. The Neo-based GFUND will be seeded with 1 million GM tokens to distribute as minting rewards for the first three months. GhostMarket also rolled out an email update feature, which alerts users when they receive an offer or a bid for an NFT, buy or sell an NFT, or are outbid in an auction.

Neo News Today launched the GasBot tipping service for Discord. GasBot supports several NEP-17 tokens from projects in the ecosystem; users can currently send GAS, FLM, TTM, NEP, GM, CANDY, bNEO, and NUDES to other users or addresses. A giveaway event is being held to commemorate the launch, giving participants a chance to win a share of 100 GAS per week.

Forthewin Network’s NeoBoyz mint event opened with 3,333 profile picture NFT’s available for purchase at 5,000 NEP each.

The proceeds from the Neo Boyz NFT series will be added to the NEP single-sided staking pool and go toward development expenses. 2,893 NFTs are still available to be minted at time of writing.

Participants in the AMA shared rewards from a prize pool comprising three Quirky Soul NFTs.
