We're launching as a Discord exclusive, but everyone can play from August 11th. The first 4 week Tournament prize pool consists of 100,000 $WZRD, plus $4000+ worth of Wizard NFTs. You'll need 3 Wizards to play, as well as an entry ticket. </span></p> <p> </p> <p class="text-center" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://wizardia.io/tournaments"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sign up for Tournaments</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you didn't hear, our game dev team bought a cutting-edge motion capture system. The full game isn't going to have any old stock animations, but unique moves performed by athletes and gymnasts. That's the AAA quality we're talking about! </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm9GDhCP8d0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">See it in action</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on YouTube.</span></p> <p> </p> <h2 id="revenue-generating-market-genesis-nfts-have-launched">Revenue generating Market Genesis NFTs have launched</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another fantastic opportunity to secure passive rewards, while helping Wizardia build this magical realm - Market Genesis NFTs provide owners with a slice of future Market transaction revenue, earning investors up to 133% APY. How's that different to Arena Genesis NFTs? The Market economy has more potential to grow because of the shorter (2 sec vs 2 min) average transaction time, the simplicity of each transaction and the demand of resources traded in comparison to Arena economy.
