Auto Legends, a drag racing game based on Web3, has secured a significant strategic investment of 1 million dollars from the Base Ecosystem Fund of Coinbase Ventures, along with Operating Group and Draper Dragon. This investment is part of a larger funding round of 9 million dollars.

 

Summary

Details of Coinbase’s investment in Auto Legends and future developments

The game, developed by veterans of the AAA video game industry, aims to offer a high-quality racing experience, integrating digital ownership through blockchain.

This new funding not only accelerates the development of the game, but also strengthens institutional confidence in the long-term vision of Auto Legends and its ability to connect traditional racing games with ownership powered by the blockchain.

Shan Aggarwal, VP of Corporate and Business Development Ventures at Coinbase, expressed enthusiasm for supporting a team that has a proven track record in creating world-class racing games that capture the imagination in Web3 gaming.

In addition to the investments, Auto Legends has announced the hiring of Scott Probin, a veteran of the video game industry with over 35 years of experience, known for his work on fan-favorite titles such as Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 and For Honor.

Probin, who has recently worked on Off The Grid, a popular Web3 shooter, will have a key role in refining the gameplay, integrating Web2 players, and strengthening the player-owned economy in the game.

Peter Pham, co-founder and CEO of Auto Legends, emphasized how Probin’s decade-long experience in developing AAA games, combined with his passion for cars and racing games, will help create an authentic experience that truly resonates with racing and car enthusiasts.

Beta Access and Inaugural Launch of NFT

In parallel with the new funding, Auto Legends is preparing for its first NFT launch, offering early supporters the opportunity to own exclusive cars in the game before the official launch.

This mint will introduce limited edition digital collectibles that players can use in the game’s competitive ecosystem.

This new chapter for Auto Legends not only promises to revolutionize the racing game sector with the integration of blockchain technologies, but also establishes a strategic bridge between the traditional gaming experience and the new dynamics of digital ownership.

With Scott Probin’s experience and significant financial backing, Auto Legends is positioned to be a leader in the Web3 gaming landscape.

Deploying smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain

First of all, one or more developers must obviously create the smart contract by writing the appropriate lines of code, and then they must send it to the Ethereum network.

In technical terms, publishing it on the Ethereum blockchain means making all the nodes in the network receive and execute it. Once published, all instructions in it will always be executed by all nodes in exactly the same way.

Therefore, not only its publication but also the execution of instructions is irreversible once it is published on the blockchain.

Therefore, what really matters are the instructions it contains – which can be the most diverse – and how many people use it. Indeed, in order for the instructions of a smart contract to actually be executed, there must be one or more transactions that invoke them.

It is also worth remembering that these instructions generally involve the use of resources, such as data or tokens, so for them to actually be executed, all the conditions set as necessary must be met. 

Sometimes this data comes from outside, thanks to so-called oracles, while sometimes it simply comes from transactions on the blockchain.

Usually, the transaction that triggers the execution of the instructions contained in a smart contract involves the payment of a fee in ETH, and in many cases in order to actually trigger the execution also involves the payment or sending of tokens specific to the smart contract itself, or other smart contracts.

Technically, smart contracts are a type of account on the Ethereum blockchain, “controlled” by the network rather than a central entity. They can store ETH or tokens, and can also send transactions on the network autonomously.

Ethereum: how do smart contracts work?

A contract in the Solidity language would be like a kind of union of a code (the functions) and data (its state) located at a specific address on the Ethereum blockchain. Each contract contains declarations of state variables, functions, function modifiers, data structures and events.

How to use Solidity from Ethereum

The MiCA regulation, which came into force with the aim of uniformly regulating the cryptocurrency sector within the European Union, imposes new conditions that particularly concern:

  • – The mandatory authorization of crypto service providers
  • – The transparency of whitepapers
  • – The reserve requirement for stablecoin issuers
  • – Surveillance on systemic risks

One of the main impacts is precisely on stablecoins, like USDT, which will have to demonstrate that they have solid, transparent, and accessible reserve assets.

The platforms that wish to maintain the trading of these tokens within the European market will need to ensure that the assets are fully compliant.
