gm Unlockd community! Another week, another piece of good news!

You already know that Unlockd stands out as the NFT lending platform that supports most NFT collections, right?

Well, we’ve added a new one: Parallel Avatars.

Parallel is one of our favorite collections, redefining the future of Blockchain Gaming, it is one of the best games that our Guild Partners, holders and community have recommended.

Let’s dive in 👇

What is Parallel?

Parallel is an innovative trading card game (TCG) experience that blends the fun of traditional games with blockchain technology and NFTs.

Built by one of the most professional teams in the industry, with over 20 developers, Parallel was co-founded by Kalos and MrGone, two of the pioneers in the Blockchain Gaming space. This exciting game transports players to a sci-fiction universe where they encounter five distinct factions, each represented by unique NFTs.

The true revolution of Parallel lies in the ownership of digital assets. Unlike other games where players acquire virtual cards without a real sense of ownership, Parallel allows players to be real owners of their in-game cards and items.

While there are many NFT-powered TCGs on the market, Parallel stands out from the crowd thanks to its stunning 3D graphics, a variety of factions, and complex tactical gameplay.

The addition of the “Parallel Avatars” collection to Unlockd opens up new opportunities for NFT enthusiasts and trading card game lovers.

Parallel NFTs: A Multifaceted Digital Universe

Parallel NFTs are groundbreaking additions to NFTs within the Parallel Universe. They encompass two primary categories: Cards and Avatars.

Parallel Cards serve as the linchpin, acting as the foundation for a trading card game. Each card is an NFT with unique attributes, affecting gameplay outcomes. Players truly own these cards and can trade or sell them. New cards are regularly released, enriching gameplay depth.

Parallel Avatars represent the five factions in the Parallel Universe. These grant advantages in the Parallel Trading Card Game and priority access to future experiences. The collection is in high demand, reflecting enthusiasm among collectors and players.

In summary, Parallel NFTs offer a unique experience. Whether collecting Parallel Cards or gaining in-game advantages with Parallel Avatars, they add depth to the ever-expanding world of Parallel.

Unlockd recognizes the value of Avatars, integrating them into their ecosystem for borrowing, showcasing the dynamic nature of the NFT market and its multifaceted utility.

  • Money-Making Opportunities: GameFi lets gamers earn money while they play. They can collect tokens, lend out their items, and even grow their income with things like yield farming. Gaming can be a source of real income.
  • Innovation and Growth: GameFi is all about new ideas. Unlockd’s partnerships bring in fresh projects and innovation, helping the ecosystem grow and evolve.
  • Community Building: GameFi is about people coming together. Unlockd’s role in forming partnerships and enabling lending activities brings gamers and financial enthusiasts closer, working toward common goals.

In simple terms, GameFi is turning gaming into a money-making and more engaging experience.
