Three Arrows Leads $4.3M Round for Solana-Based Metaverse Project Solice

The metaverse is set to get a little more crowded as a new Solana-based startup has raised $4.3 million from leading venture capital firms.

Solice, a cross-platform PC and virtual reality (VR) game built in the mold of Decentraland and The Sandbox, announced the funding on Thursday. The round was led by Zhu Su’s Three Arrows Capital, DeFiance Capital and Animoca Brands. Alameda Research, Jump Capital, Genblock Capital, KuCoin Labs, Solar Eco Fund, CMS Holdings, Rarestone Capital and others also participated.

In an interview with CoinDesk, Solice founder Christian Zhang said that the game will feature a native currency, as well as game assets backed by non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The assets will also have in-game financialization elements.

Solana Ventures Looks to Boost Web 3 Gaming With Launch of $150M Fund

nvestors have bet big on the future of play-to-earn gaming, and they aren’t done yet.
Solana Ventures, Forte and Griffin Gaming Partners have pledged to invest $150 million in Web 3 game builders, the companies announced Tuesday.

The initiative is the second major investment Solana Ventures has made into the blockchain’s gaming ecosystem, the first being a $100 million fund co-led by FTX and Lightspeed in November.
Griffin says it has now invested over $400 million into gaming and Web 3 companies in the past two years, according to a press release.

Web 3 gaming has been a main attraction for blockchain investors in recent months, with Solana being of particular interest for its low costs and high transaction speeds.

Michael Jordan Jumps Into Web3 via Solana App for Athletes

Six-time NBA champion and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is the latest celebrity to see potential in how crypto and Web3 technology can connect athletes and entertainers with fans. Today, Jordan revealed plans to launch a fan engagement app platform built on Solana.

The platform, HEIR, is designed to link professional athletes with their most ardent supporters. It will feature an HEIR token minted on the Solana blockchain, and will showcase NFT assets along with community-building features that let fans join an athlete’s limited-capacity “huddle” for exclusive access and benefits.

Parent company HEIR Inc. has been co-founded by Michael and his son, Jeffrey Jordan, and it has raised $10 million in seed funding to launch “culturally-inspired consumer brands rooted in tech and entertainment,” per a release.

Interesting post about solana:
tl;dr: only validators can front-run the larger stack, the more likely you are to get a fat transfer and front it off.
I don't know if this is relevant at the moment, this statement was relevant 7 months ago.

take away NFT from Raydium and Magic Eden

If you had at least 1$ RAY staked before December 23, 13:00 GMT + 3 you can brand Raydium X Magic Eden Holiday NFT!
You can brand NFT by the link - https://raydium.io/staking/
So far there is practically no sense (it gives a 2% discount on purchases through nft.raydium.io until January 1).
Perhaps in the future, some retroairdrop will arrive as it was with GODS and their NFT cards
