This week marks a historic moment for all Starknet gamers: @influenceth, an epic fully onchain space strategy MMO, is launching on Mainnet this Thursday! 🥳

This game caters to everyone’s needs:
🐺 Gamers: Discover an autonomous, fully on-chain world with a real in-game economy.
🐺 Developers: Create your own galactic games within this expansive universe.
🐺 Content Creators: With the game's vastness, there's plenty of material for your content.

Gamers will utilize their strategic prowess to accumulate resources, build up empires, and construct spaceships: all fully onchain! While content creators and developers have the opportunity to participate in Influence's Adalian Creatives Collective (ACC) and earn SWAY for helping grow the community.

Most importantly, everyone is sure to have a great time! 🎉

Date: Thursday, 27th June 📅

1 week before the launch of @influenceth… Just 1 week left! 👀👀

Have you played Ogame, Eve Online, or Stellaris? Loved The Expanse series?

Then you're going to love Influence! 🌌

Influence is a strategic space colonization game where players collaborate and compete to control the newly formed colony within the Adalian asteroid belt.

The goal? Extend your influence as much as possible in this vast universe.

The gameplay includes:
⛏️ Resource extraction and gathering
🏗️ Building
🤝 Trading
🫂 Creating alliances
☄️ Exploring
🧑‍🔬 Researching (in a future release)
⚔️ Fighting (in a future release)

But Influence is not just an onchain game. No, no, no: it’s an entire Autonomous World, allowing anyone to create their own tools, stories, and sub-games within this universe.

And since everything happens on-chain, everything you create and own in the game genuinely belongs to you! Moreover, unlike typical web3 games, Influence is entirely player-driven with zero NPCs, delivering a truly immersive and dynamic experience.

This epic new universe launches in exactly 1 week: on June 27th! 📅

Early players will have the unique advantage of being the first to discover, buidl, and gather resources. Believe us, you want to be one of them— so mark your calendar and be there for the launch!

1/ The Catalyst Program shines the spotlight on @StarkDeFi, a #DeFi services hub built on Starknet.
As one of the earliest dApps on #Starknet, StarkDeFi has achieved some impressive stats:
↪ Cumulative trading volume of $803 million (StarkDeFi AMM)
↪ Peak TVL of $4.33 million (StarkDeFi AMM)

Next, we're featuring The Catalyst Program grant recipient @carmineoptions, an AMM DEX that allows users to buy and sell options on-chain. Recently, Carmine Options AMM has experienced rapid growth:
↪ A 372% rise in its TVL over the past 30 days.
↪ Notional trading value of options surpassed $1M last week.
↪ Seamless swapping of assets natively on Carmine through @AVNU integration.

It is also one of the top contributed dApps in @Gitcoin grants.

1/ We continue The Catalyst Program features with @0xhashstack, a permissionless zk-native money market protocol on Starknet L2.

Hashstack enables secure under-collateralized loans by leveraging zero-knowledge proofs for cost and capital efficiency. To date, their products have locked $788,000 in liquidity, with a utilisation rate of 55.63%.

StarkHack is already running, and we have a surprise for all game builders:

A video tutorial cooked by @Senku_OG, @NoodyAbility, and @BrianSin_OG on creating a attack based game over @ohayo_dojo contract 🧑‍🍳

Why buidl during StarkHack?
🐺 You'll receive mentorship from experts and industry leaders
🐺 There's a $150,000 prize pool
🐺 You'll be eligible for the @StarknetFndn's seed grant program afterward to continue building your Starknet projects ⚡️

So, what are you waiting for? 🫵

Let's start building folks 🧑‍💻

Next video tutorial coming up this Sunday/Monday, about how to integrate your contract with Unity! 🫡

1/ The Catalyst Program shines the spotlight on @SithSwap – one of the earliest AMM projects to go live on Starknet, and the only Curve-like tableswap live on mainnet, featuring integrations with all major DEX aggregators such as @avnu_fi and @FibrousFinance.

@SithSwap has facilitated over $350M in trading volume, with a daily peak of $10M traded.

1/ Next in our Catalyst Program spotlight series is @jediswap, a permissionless and composable AMM built on #Starknet that helps liquidity providers maximize yield on their assets by leveraging concentrated liquidity and automated strategies.

JediSwap is Starknet’s leading #dApp by all-time user count, with nearly 2 million wallets connected to it to date. JediSwap is also the top project on Gitcoin by all-time funding count.

1/ The next Catalyst Program feature is on @carbonable_io, an innovative #dApp that looks to disrupt the way we fund, plan, manage, and report carbon contributions, eliminating greenwashing and ensuring optimal value.

Carbonable’s project funders—such as @Orange, @GroupeLaposte, as well as individual investors—support some of the most critical solutions in the fight against climate change while receiving prime carbon credits for offset or resale.

To date, the Carbonable team has successfully crowdsourced over $1M to restore more than 200 hectares of biodiversity and capture more than 100,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

1/ Today we shine the spotlight with The Catalyst Program grant recipient @mySwapxyz, a concentrated liquidity AMM that differentiates itself by helping its users maximize efficiency in their capital.

mySwap’s features include one-click rebalancing, reinvestment of fees into pools for compounded interest, and an integrated Telegram bot that provides updates on liquidity positions in real-time. MySwap currently offers a high APR yield on the STRK/USDC liquidity pool pair (around 171%), as part of #Starknet’s #DeFi Spring.
