Cryptocy exchange Coinbase is offering up free in-game items and cy for Ethereum NFT card game Parallel, which launched to the public in open beta on March 10.
The exchange will offer up $5 worth of in-game credits (Glints) and two free packs of non-NFT cards to new players who access the game either through Coinbase’s “explore” page for retail traders or through social media posts from Base—the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network incubated by Coinbase.
Parallel mints some of its NFTs on Base, along with NFTs on the Ethereum mainnet. Base creator Jesse Pollak described Parallel’s open beta launch in a press release as a “hugely important case study” for the Ethereum scaler.
Parallel is an NFT-driven collectible card game in which players assemble decks and battle it out against each other. It’s similar to Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, but with a space opera setting and additional tactical elements.
