Mado says he doesn't want to spoil too much, but mentions new spells, a new city with plots of land for building, and an endgame area for this pre-alpha build. Mado also speaks about rebalanced battle mechanics. Madotsuki says that there have also been quality-of-life updates to the Runiverse MMO build, like persistent global chat, party chat, bugfixes, and artistic updates.

=== Market Notes ===
Elf asks Dotta who bought the Punk for $16MM. Dotta says he isn't sure who the buyer is, when Elf says that he's tempted to ask if the sale is a market top signal or if it means the bull run is just getting started. Dotta says he thinks the bull is just getting started.

Dotta notes that the SEC wants to classify Ethereum as a security as a nuclear option: they can't get Bitcoin, but maybe they can get Ethereum. He says that could splash cold water on the bull market, but his guess is that they try it, bring FUD, draw out the bull, and then lose. Elf says he thinks the SEC has a terrible track record in court and he doesn't even know if they're trying to win cases or just want to slow everything down.


Mado also speaks about rebalanced battle mechanics.
Madotsuki notes BlackRock's recent deposit of USDC on ETH as a vote of confidence for ETH.

==== Updates From the Normies ====

Dotta asks about updates from the team's "normie" friends in terms of their feelings toward crypto, saying he hasn't seen as many of his friends who were involved last cycle being active. [[Jitcy]] says his friends are buying—Dotta notes they're poker players.

==== Solana ====
Dotta asks how people are trading Solana coins on their phone. Madotsuki says you have to use bots. [[CheddaaBob]] then joins to say he uses a bot called Shuriken. Dotta asks why Solana is having trouble—if it's the network or congestion. Madotsuki says it's a little bit of both. He notes a thread that he posted where Solana dev Mert responded saying that the issues were known and being corrected.

==== The Next NFT Meta ====
 
Elf asks where the next NFT meta is going to pop up. Madotsuki says that [[Ordinals]] are a good bet. Dotta says that he keeps hearing that Base will be the next place, but he isn't seeing memecoins on Base as much as on Solana. He also wonders if Blast offers a better casino. Dotta mentions a notice of chain "snobbery," speaking in particular about how the Farcaster community seems to want to distance themselves from financialization. The conversation continues about memecoins on Base, with the consensus being that the memes on Base fall flat.

After introductions, Dotta dives right in to note how good the 3D Warriors that Elf teased in the Secret Tower look.

3D Warriors, Runiverse Pre-Alpha Playtest, & Market Notes

3D Warrior Tease
3D Warrior Sneak Peek

Elf says the 3D Warrior collection is currently in production, and the absolute earliest it might launch will be July. Elf notes the difficulty of bringing artistic interpretation to the pixel Character primitives, and he says that he thinks the team creating the 3D Warrior collection is nailing it.

Forgotten Runiverse Updates

Dotta then says that he's hanging out by the City Stone in the Forgotten Runiverse playtest. Elf asks Madotsuki what's new in the latest Runiverse demo.

Mado says he doesn't want to spoil too much, but mentions new spells, a new city with plots of land for building, and an endgame area for this pre-alpha build. Mado also speaks about rebalanced battle mechanics. Madotsuki says that there have also been quality-of-life updates to the Runiverse MMO build, like persistent global chat, party chat, bugfixes, and artistic updates. He tells those who did not gain entry to the playtest not to worry, and that the game would be open again soon.

Market Notes

Elf asks Dotta who bought the Punk for $16MM. Dotta says he isn't sure who the buyer is, when Elf says that he's tempted to ask if the sale is a market top signal or if it means the bull run is just getting started. Dotta says he thinks the bull is just getting started.

Dotta notes that the SEC wants to classify Ethereum as a security as a nuclear option: they can't get Bitcoin, but maybe they can get Ethereum. He says that could splash cold water on the bull market, but his guess is that they try it, bring FUD, draw out the bull, and then lose. Elf says he thinks the SEC has a terrible track record in court and he doesn't even know if they're trying to win cases or just want to slow everything down.
