🎸 Punks! The NPunks team has been diligently working on the game for the past six months, and we've achieved a lot.

Now, we're thrilled to announce that Near Gaming DAO has approved funding for Near Kingdoms!

The funds will be directed towards the full integration of Near into the game and supporting the project's development.

🗃 The entire NPunks team expresses immense gratitude to Near Gaming DAO and the amazing community that purchases Genesis boxes, thereby contributing to the game's development. Without you, none of this would have been possible!

The largest NFT collection on Near is committed to making the most popular game on Near. Onward to 2024! 💥

🎸 NPunks Project Year`s Recap 2023.

The bear market affected the project with a decrease in activity, but there were plenty of events.

This year saw the active development of our game, the first but not the last of our global projects. We witnessed the highest sales of punks (999/888 Near and others). There were two major giveaways and other significant events; details can be found in the document.

The roadmap for 2024 will be published soon. The plans and the readiness to execute them are at their maximum. 🎅

🎸 Popularizing NPunks and Near Kingdoms is our number one goal. Community activity is the engine of success.

That's why we've allocated $NEAR to reward active community participants!

- Tweet about punks and our game, mentioning @near_punks and/or @nearkingdoms. Create thoughtful posts without copy-pasting.
- Use the hashtag #NPunks2024 #NEAR

⭐️ We will randomly select up to 3 winners and distribute 5/3/2 $NEAR to each.

🤘 Punks! Almost 2 years ago, staking began on Paras. And after a month, it ended. They haven't added any more NFT collections to staking since then.

🎸 Currently, 501 punks are staked on Paras. If you don't want to lose them, please withdraw them from staking on the same page - https://stake.paras.id.

🤘 Hey punks! Today is the last day of the massive contest for punk holders!

If you've been holding more than half of the punks or all punks off the market for over a month (not for sale) - please fill out the form at the following link.

🎅 NFT NPunks, Solana, and Telegram Premium subscriptions are waiting for you!

🎅 January. It's time to give away all these goodies among the participants !

Since there were only two participants who have been holding punks for a month to a year, we have combined all the holders into a single list and added a couple more prizes:

⭐️ 1 Solana NFT
⭐️ 1 Telegram Premium for 3 months

You can never have too many gifts, as they say. 🎄

So the overall list of prizes is as follows:

⭐️ 1 NPunks NFT
⭐️ 5 Solana NFT
⭐️ 5 Telegram Premium subscriptions for 3 months

We will draw all of them live in our chat today, in two and a half hours.

🤘Punks!

We have successfully completed all stages and have finally received a grant for marketing our game from Marketing DAO! And we won't disappoint.
