One of the hottest topics in the crypto gaming world is a recent announcement by the gaming platform Whale.io – the launch of NFT cards with real $WHALE tokens embedded directly into them. These NFTs are being released on Solana, and they’re obviously far from being just digital collectibles.
Basically, the card is like a token storage device for a player. When players buy the NFT card, they are actually getting a locked amount of $WHALE tokens along with the card. Players can thus open the card and instantly transfer the tokens to their account if they want to use the tokens for gaming. So simple.
The minting is happening right now at mintwhale.io, anyone can acquire these cards backed by the tokens and can then freely experiment with them. The whole business of how this setup is so smart really is in how it cracks a real gamers’ problem. Instead of spending hours grinding or going through complicated token swaps, gamers can simply log in to any NFT marketplace, buy the card from the seller, and can immediately redeem tokens for gaming.
The new players can buy a small number of cards, redeem what they want, and hence, still save their time for gaming, battle passes, rewards campaigns, anything they like really, instead of weeks of grinding.
Quite naturally, the timing is well thought-out. Whale.io is holding its Token Generation Event, and these NFT cards are integral to the event. They’re basically giving more people the opportunity to get involved in a simple way, without making it complicated. They can be collectibles, can be traded for profit, or can even be used as token storage.
A key point that really sets these cards apart from others is that they are two-faced. On the one hand, they are fully fledged NFTs that can be collected and traded. On the other hand, they are also digital wallets stuffed full of tokens that can be used to make payments. The tokens of every card are guaranteed to be locked on-chain and be one-to-one token-backed, thus the value can be trusted fully.
This translates into more trading and different uses for the $WHALE token holders. Tokens are no longer just tokens, they have been converted into NFT counterparts that can be traded at any time if the holder wants to transform them back again. This is the kind of beauty that gets the nod from both collectors and gamers.
