The network is thus becoming another hub for potential game creation, as well as a tool for a more accessible NFT minting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the value of NFT is questionable, with some of the collections losing value, the tool to create blockchain records remains valuable. Web3 is offering another form of owning digital items, unlike the centralized approach of Web2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Projects using minting technology are trying to bring users with a promise of always holding their in-game assets. Crypto tokens and coins are also used as a substitute to microtransactions and in-game purchases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New projects are appearing, attempting to generate their new type of digital items. Currently, traditional gaming companies are either very tentatively trying out NFT or outright rejecting them. Mojang, the creator of Minecraft, was among the skeptics, going as far as to ban the generation of NFT based off the Minecraft world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will the NEAR Rally Last<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NEAR is still stuck relatively close to its lows for the past three months.

Despite the 21% weekly rally, the NEAR breakout is not changing the coin\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NEAR may keep up its pace, as it is among the most widely commented tokens on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a1\ufe0fTop Projects with Market Capitalization under $50B<br>2 August 2022<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BNB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BNB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BNBChain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BNBChain<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BNB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BNB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ADA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ADA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$SOL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24DOT&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$DOT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24AVAX&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$AVAX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AVAX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AVAX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24MATIC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$MATIC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TRON?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TRON<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24TRX&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$TRX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TRX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TRX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24UNI&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$UNI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24LINK&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$LINK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24NEAR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$NEAR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ATOM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ATOM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XLM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XLM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/XLM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#XLM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ALGO&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ALGO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SAND&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$SAND<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24EGLD&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$EGLD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EGLD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EGLD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Anfbf0qGiS\">pic.twitter.com\/Anfbf0qGiS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 CryptoDep #StandWithUkraine \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Crypto_Dep) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Crypto_Dep\/status\/1554419827741278208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the Near Protocol Utility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NEAR remains attractive for being a potentially undiscovered Layer 1 solution.
