Sky Strife is a fully on-chain real-time strategy game, offering a unique and immersive multiplayer online battle arena experience focused on strategic gameplay and character customization. Developed by Lattice and funded by grants from organizations like the 0xPARC Foundation and the Optimism Foundation, Sky Strife uses orbs as its sole resource. Orbs, an ERC-20 token, are used to create matches. Initially, 100 million orbs were minted into the Sky Pool, with no additional orbs to be created. Creating matches costs 100 orbs and rewards players based on their rank and recent match activity. Sky Strife has not yet established a formal governance process.
Balancer is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol for programmable liquidity, supporting various swap curves and pool types. Governance begins with a Request for Comment on the Balancer forum, progresses to a formal proposal, and is voted on via Snapshot. Voting power comes from holding BAL tokens or delegated voting power, with a quorum of 2 million veBAL needed. BAL tokenomics include a 100 million token cap and the vote-escrowed BAL system, encouraging long-term holding. Balancer has raised $32.3 million across three funding rounds, with the latest on May 27, 2021.
