The main cast includes Jon Heder, Tina Majorino, Efren Ramirez and Jon Gries. <\/p>\n Heder, who played Napoleon Dynamite<\/em>, will take up the role of the main character, who also bears the same name as the show. CyKo KO follows the story of a hero and his sidekicks who protect the colonies of \u201cSuperEarth\u201d from enemies and giant monsters. A 12-minute pilot is reportedly in the works at this stage. <\/p>\n As part of the fundraising process from the show, Rewarded.TV will host the sale of CyKo KO nonfungible token (NFT) card collectible packs on Oct. 1. <\/p>\n The packs start at $59 a pop and were developed in partnership with Theta Labs.

They really understand the future adoption of blockchain. They\u2019re not thinking about, you know, just the revenue, they want to create the next future [of gaming],\u201d he said. <\/p>\n Related: <\/em><\/strong>Anonymous makes numerous allegations against Yuga Labs and its Bored Ape Yacht Club<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Brendan Greene, the creator of the highly popular survival shooter game PUBG, has revealed his next game called Artemis will be a metaverse-focused title that will likely have NFT and blockchain elements. <\/p>\n Greene noted in a Wednesday interview with Hit Points that the game will allow players to create whatever they like in a large open world and that digital items like NFTs will be incorporated so that users can extract value out of the game via digital goods:<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re building a digital place. That has to have an economy, and it has to have systems at work. And I do believe you should be able to extract value from a digital place; it has to be like the internet, where you can do stuff that will earn you money.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s not about, like, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. It\u2019s some kid called AwesomePickle selling cool skins because he understands what people want,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Mega ETH borrow against Mega Mutant Apes <\/strong><\/p>\n One ballsy NFT collector has utilized the NFT lending platform Arcade to borrow 1,044 Ether (ETH) against two of their Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFTs this week. <\/p>\n At the time of writing, 1,044 ETH is worth $1.33 million, and the holder, who goes by fragmentxyz on Twitter, used the borrowed capital to purchase another rare MAYC NFT for 1,000 ETH. <\/p>\n 1000 ETH was borrowed against two mega mutants today on @arcade_xyz<\/a>!
