Amazon is set to launch 1KIN Lab’s new Web3 gaming subscription on its platform. The new service, developed by the company behind GR1D Network, aims to enhance users’ experience with exclusive content and early access opportunities within its GR1D TERMINAL platform and GR1D ecosystem.

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.

一部电力驱动的科技进化史:铝、比特币与 AI

从美国得克萨斯州罗克代尔一座老旧铝厂转型为北美最大比特币挖矿集群,再到如今逐步更换为AI算力中心的故事切入,本文揭示了电力资源作为核心资产,在不同科技产业浪潮中的流转与价值重构。 文章通过对比单位电力产生的经济收益,清晰地展现了产业更迭背后的驱动力:炼铝(每千瓦时0.17–0.27美元)、比特币挖矿(0.05–0.11美元)与AI推理(1.27–3.67美元)之间存在巨大差距。正是这种利润差异,引导资本和基础设施从高耗能重工业流向加密货币,再涌向当下炙手可热的人工智能。 近期多笔交易——如Riot向AMD出租场地、TeraWulf收购铝厂改建数据中心、NYDIG锁定廉价水电挖矿——都凸显了行业对现有电力基础设施的疯狂争夺。拥有雄厚资金的科技巨头(如微软、谷歌、亚马逊)正直接与比特币矿工竞争同一批工业电力资源,导致许多矿企被迫转型AI或陷入困境。 这一现象被称作“数字资源诅咒”,即掌控廉价电力本身就能带来巨大收益。海湾国家(如沙特、阿联酋)早已深谙此道,将原本用于吸引重工业的低价电力转向支撑大型AI数据中心建设,将能源转化为算力输出。不丹放弃主权比特币挖矿转而向印度稳定售电,也是基于同样的经济核算。 文章还展望了更前沿的形态:如太空轨道太阳能数据中心,利用不间断光照和低温环境提供算力;以及像Bittensor这样的加密项目,试图通过代币激励整合全球分布式闲置算力,走出一条去中心化路径。 核心结论是:从得州工厂到中东沙漠,再到近地轨道,谁掌握了最廉价的电力,谁就决定了算力的用途。产业设施可能随技术浪潮不断更替,但地下的电力网络始终是真正的基石,资本只会追逐当前最高效的利润转化方式。
