Each Illuvitar carries a power rating, determined by its rarity, which helps you climb the leaderboard.". Each "GameStop x Illuvitar D1SK NFT" will contain a unique GameStop-branded "Illuvitar," which developers say possess "108 potential combinations based on six different Illuvials, three expressions, three background stages, and two finishes." D1SKs contain random Illuvitars and accessories and can be traded on the Illuvi decentralized exchange. In addition, NFT holders will be entitled to early access to Illuvium's creature collector games, Illuvium Overworld and Illuvium Arena, and other perks. Cointelegraph reported in February 2022 that GameStop selected Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Immutable X to power its NFT marketplace.

⚡️ Developers Will Build Apple’s Metaverse
Apple loves developers, and developers love it back. In fact, the company loves devs so much it created a conference for them, which has now become its biggest platform for it to launch its greatest new products. In Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC for short, Apple announced a whole ecosystem for developers embedded in the Vision Pro headset.

Along with releasing what it calls the world’s first spatial computer, Apple also dropped the details of the dev stack behind the new product line. Aiming to replicate the success of their past products’ developer ecosystem, Apple will soon release dev tools that might create the new standard for XR (extended reality), but on Apple’s terms. To go along with its new Vision Pro headset, Apple announced the visionOS operating system. The visionOS SDK builds on Apple’s history of augmented reality dev kits such as RealityKit, ARKit and other AR creation tools. ARKit was Apple’s first foray into harnessing the power of augmented reality, with the company releasing ARKit 6 at WWDC earlier this week.

🖼 ‘Stand With Crypto’ NFT Spreads Across Crypto Twitter Amid SEC Crackdown
The past 48 hours have been grim for the crypto industry. On Monday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued crypto exchange Binance and its founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao for allegedly violating federal securities laws. The next day, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Coinbase over similar allegations. Later in the afternoon, the SEC sought to freeze assets related to Binance.US, the exchange’s US-based entity. The crackdown isn’t surprising to some; however, it’s added to the frustration around the lack of policy and regulatory clarity in the United States surrounding crypto. While the lawsuits are so far only against Binance and Coinbase, the entire industry has been shaken up by the news, and the value of tokens named in the filings has plummeted. Some critics hyperbolized that the situation could mark the downfall of crypto. Since Monday morning, figures across the crypto space have minted Coinbase’s Stand with Crypto non-fungible token (NFT) on minting platform Zora to mark their commitment to crypto while demanding regulatory clarity.

🖼 Foundation Announces Dynamic NFT Pricing Feature
The NFT marketplace Foundation has launched Dynamic Pricing, a new, automated feature on the platform meant to simplify pricing for creators, according to information shared exclusively with nft now. Dynamic Pricing leverages a Rebate Dutch Auction mechanism, a pricing model designed by Foundation to help creators navigate the complex and often intimidating process of pricing their creations. Appropriately estimating the price of an NFT can be tricky as a creator in Web3; if the price is too high, it could result in sluggish or (in some cases) no sales at all. Conversely, setting the price too low could lead to a rapid sell-out, leaving creators feeling they could have earned more for their work. The uncertainty surrounding this facet of the industry adds an unhappy element of unpredictability to a market already known for its volatility and ambiguity. By permitting the market to influence the pricing, Dynamic Pricing takes into account variables that creators can struggle with balancing, including personal profit, collector accessibility, and experience, as well as the likelihood of a sell-out.

📣 Fashion Brands Still ‘Nervous’ to Set IP Loose in Metaverse: BNV CEO
Fashion houses may be clamoring to launch metaverse and Web3 projects, but not all of them are enthusiastic about the collaboration that comes with the space. Brands are concerned about protecting their intellectual property (IP) in the digital world, BNV founder and CEO Richard Hobbs told Decrypt in an interview at this year's NFC Lisbon, but they need to embrace co-creation with users. Allowing the same thing to happen in the metaverse could be an opportunity for both the original brand and the creator alike, he argued, giving designers free rein to play with existing styles while brands earn royalties from the altered items. The concept is also scalable online in a way it would not be in the real world, he said. “I don’t need to sell one, I can sell 50 or 100 or 1,000.” “Most people have invested a lot of their own personal time and ideation into what [their brand] is,” he said. “When you’re used to designing a collection [...] it becomes very personal.”. But he was confident that by seeing how co-creation could work.
