Those of you who grew up in the 1990s may remember the popular game of POG, which featured physical milk caps and slammers. The game was simple but exciting, with players competing to collect the most milk caps. While its popularity may have waned over the years, the game POGs has recently made a comeback thanks to NFT technology and the blockchain.
POGs made their Web3 debut about ten months ago on the Solana blockchain with some digital collectibles. Now the game is going big with a jump to Ethereum that will feature new NFT mints in addition to an online version of the classic game.
To make the POGs Web3 effort a reality, POGs NFT, a subsidiary of The World POG Federation, has leveraged the Origin Protocol: Origin Story NFT Platform to create a custom marketplace for collectibles. The team will initially launch a series of 3,800 Ethereum NFTs that will be an integral part of a game that is scheduled to launch in the summer.
POG NFTs Rekindle Nostalgic Memories
Since POG announced that it was moving to Ethereum, its trading volumes and liquidity have skyrocketed. According to Kyler Frisbee, POG’s NFT founder, this is pretty exciting for the project. Speaking to the press, he notes, “Now that we’re going to Ethereum, it feels like we’re moving into the bigger leagues.”
That being said, NFTs will be crucial to participating in the online versions of POGs. The first of these play-to-win games will be Stack and Slam, which is scheduled to launch in Solana in the coming days. According to Frisbee, the gameplay will resemble the classic game experience of using slammers to convert as many POGs as possible. The only difference is that it will be done virtually, and the POGs will have additional utility. In general, players will need to rely on a combination of timing, skill, and luck to get the best result.
