Amazon Makes Deal to Change Gaming

1KIN Labs recently announced the launch of its GR1D TERMINAL platform and 1PASS subscription service on Amazon. The project is set to offer a “unified discovery and management hub” for content across several networks and change blockchain-based gamers’ experience.

The new platform will allow users to explore the extensive Web3 gaming ecosystem and delve into numerous titles, aiming to transform how gamers discover, manage, and collect exclusive rewards across Web3 and simplify the sector’s “fragmented” gaming landscape.

Following its closed Beta period with over 25,000 participants, the platform seeks to introduce “new levels of interoperability” and user-friendly features, offering access to a growing catalog of Web3 games across networks like Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and others.

Moreover, 1KIN Labs also announced 1PASS alongside GR1D TERMINAL. The new subscription service will be available on Amazon, allowing players to unlock exclusive content, early access, and special discounts through the newly launched platform.

Like Xbox Games Pass, Amazon Prime Gaming, and other traditional Web2 subscription services, 1PASS subscribers can pick from monthly unique in-game assets and other exclusive content provided by over 100 Web3 games and studios within the GR1D ecosystem.

1PASS will be the first Web3 gaming subscription on the Amazon platform, enabling distribution to the multinational e-commerce company’s massive user base.

Web3 And Blockchain Gaming ‘Promising’ Future

The announcement follows the launch of the modular Layer-2 (L2) gaming-focused blockchain, GR1D Network, in June. The network is set to foster an ecosystem where gamers can easily interact with exclusive assets and rewards and “ensure a dynamic and interconnected future for the industry.”

 Jack O’Neill, founder of 1KIN Labs, emphasized the company’s goal to make blockchain gaming more accessible and gratifying for users through a unified and friendly ecosystem:

With the GR1D TERM1NAL, we’re taking a major stride toward realizing our vision of a more cohesive and user-friendly Web3 gaming ecosystem. Our goal has been to create a single access point that bridges the gap between various games and blockchain networks. In essence, we’re bringing the ease and convenience that gamers have come to expect from platforms like Xbox Game Pass into the world of blockchain gaming. This is about making Web3 gaming more accessible and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Similarly, industry experts discussed the future of Web3 gaming, the sector’s shift and maturity at the 10th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC10) in Barcelona.

As reported by Bitcoinist, Pablo Monti, BingX’s Brand Manager, highlighted the sector’s growth after moving from the “play-to-earn fever” to a service supporting the broader gaming industry.

Meanwhile, Sebastien Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, underscored how players experiment with blockchain and earn their first NFTS through gaming.

Borget noted that blockchain games have become a gateway to Web3, emphasizing that the industry has moved toward empowering the creator economy to offer a “fresh approach” to the challenges of traditional Web2 gaming.

To Those Ordinary People Who Haven't Invested in AI: You Think You're Late, You're Just Lacking Your Own Worldview

**Summary:** The article argues that ordinary investors feeling FOMO over missing the AI investment boom lack not timing, but their own independent worldview. Most people chase "what to buy" based on others' opinions (FOMO, envy) rather than fundamental analysis. This leads to costly mistakes: not knowing when to exit winning trades or cut losses on losing ones. The core solution is to develop a personal, long-term (5-10 year) worldview about societal shifts and technological bottlenecks. For most, building this from scratch (Path A) is too demanding. A practical alternative (Path B) is to follow the **capital expenditures (capex)** and strategic investments of visionary leaders, as their money reveals true conviction more reliably than their words. Five key figures to track for different AI perspectives are highlighted: Jensen Huang (NVIDIA, infrastructure), Elon Musk (Tesla/SpaceX/xAI, capex signals), Sam Altman (OpenAI, commercialization, but beware hype), Dario Amodei (Anthropic, technical/safety focus), and Liang Wenfeng (DeepSeek, efficiency/anti-consensus view). The article details how to read capex signals from hyperscalers' financial reports, NVIDIA's revenue breakdown, and strategic investments. It maps the complete AI产业链 (supply chain) from raw materials/energy to models/applications, explaining value flow and inter-dependencies (e.g., how a model release triggers demand across chips, memory, and optics). Finally, it provides an action plan: secure personal finances first, allocate a limited portfolio percentage (max 25%) to the theme, prefer broad ETFs (like QQQ), use dollar-cost averaging over 6-12 months, and write down strict investment rules beforehand to combat emotional errors during market volatility. The conclusion is that a stable, personally-held worldview enables disciplined, long-term investment far more than chasing short-term trends.

Hoskinson Reaffirms Cardano Focus After IO Treasury Proposals Pass

Cardano's community treasury vote has ratified the "Developer Experience Initiative" proposed by Input Output (IO), securing funding for a six-month project to improve developer tooling and onboarding. The proposal passed with 67.90% approval, marking a governance win for founder Charles Hoskinson. He framed the vote as a critical response to developer complaints about fragmented tools and documentation, and a test of Cardano's post-Voltaire governance system, which he declared "real" and functional. The result coincided with Hoskinson publicly reaffirming his "100%" focus on Cardano and its privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, following news of the closure of a separate personal healthcare venture. He emphasized the importance of ecosystem coordination among key organizations and committed to increased visibility for Cardano and Midnight at upcoming industry events. The broader funding round delivered a mixed outcome, with several other IO proposals failing to pass, indicating the community's selective support for core development work over other infrastructure and ecosystem spending requests.

Microsoft Halts Vibe Coding: "Burning Tokens" Is Now More Expensive Than Employees

Microsoft has halted the widespread internal use of Claude Code, withdrawing licenses from most employees by the end of its fiscal year, June 30, 2026. This reversal comes just six months after actively promoting the AI coding tool to boost productivity via "vibe coding"—where developers describe intent in natural language and let the LLM generate code. The core issue isn't the tool's effectiveness; internal reports suggest employees preferred Claude Code over Microsoft's own Copilot CLI. The problem is financial: the "copilot mode" adds a variable, consumption-based token cost on top of existing employee salaries without a proportional revenue increase. As usage grew, the token bills became unsustainable, leading to what sources describe as a cost-structure failure. Similar overruns have been reported at other firms like Uber. The article contrasts this with the approach of AI-native startups, exemplified by Y Combinator's philosophy. Here, high token consumption is strategic—it replaces, rather than supplements, human labor. Startups operate with tiny teams where AI agents handle work previously done by many, making the high token bill financially viable as it offsets much larger personnel costs. The conclusion is that "vibe coding" isn't dead, but its economics fail within traditional corporate structures that treat AI as a productivity add-on for existing staff. Success requires a foundational shift to an AI-native organization, where processes are built to be "legible to AI," and the company's core knowledge and assets reside in documented, AI-accessible systems rather than solely in employees' minds. The future divide will be between companies that merely add AI tools and those that redesign their organizations around them.

Metrics Ventures Market Watch: The Brewing Storm

In the past month, the market has been actively trading contrasting expectations, balancing global supply chain disruptions fueling re-inflation against both actual and anticipated (Walsh) interest rate hikes. This volatility has impacted commodities and most equities, though tech has temporarily benefited from concentrated short-term liquidity. Fundamentally, as previously analyzed regarding the Strait of Hormuz situation, the US faces deep-seated balance sheet issues beyond what any single Fed chair can resolve. Hypotheses around a figure like Walsh could only materialize if AI fundamentally reshapes production relations. Until then, most non-AI-leading nations (effectively all except the US and China) risk fiscal and monetary policy collapse, rendering the identity of the Fed chair ultimately irrelevant. For crypto assets, there is currently no clear role in these dominant narratives. The market remains strongly capped by the 200-day moving average. While trends may shift from "anything but AI" to "anything but mines," this phase is dominated by the silicon vs. carbon (AI vs. traditional) dichotomy, leaving little room for crypto—though its time will come. **Market Overview & Commentary** The crypto market lacks significant catalysts beyond hype, plagued by low volume and scarce innovation, with clear technical resistance. Currently, crypto struggles for attention as global focus lies elsewhere. Assets like gold, oil, and grains are more direct hedges against supply-chain-driven inflation/stagflation. Bitcoin needs more time for capitulation and consolidation; this reset is expected to last until at least Q4 2026. Looking ahead, three factors will likely drive future market volatility: 1. Whether Walsh repeats the patterns of predecessors like Bassant or Musk, shifting stance into a new policy cycle. 2. The market underestimates the severity of global supply chain damage and the prolonged time needed for repair, which will eventually lead to recognition of acute resource shortages and price swings. 3. AI non-beneficiary, high-inflation nations (e.g., UK, Japan) will face severe fiscal and monetary crises. Rapid AI-driven displacement could trigger a collapse of existing credit and welfare systems. Ultimately, the market may realize that an AI bubble burst could spark contagious sovereign credit crises. The monetary and fiscal responses to such a scenario could serve as the ultimate catalyst for Bitcoin's next major bull run.
