Fantasy.top Turns Web3 KOLs into Card Heroes!
A game called “Fantasy.top” has recently gained popularity in the world of NFT (non-fungible tokens). According to data analysis platform DefiLlama, the transaction fees generated by the Fantasy.top project alone have exceeded $10.6 million since May 1st, indicating a significant level of player engagement.
Fantasy.top combines elements of community and decentralized finance and was launched by a developer named Travis Bickle. It is similar to a sports card game, but instead of athletes, the cards feature influential figures, traders, and creators from the Web3 space.
The characters on the cards are called “Heroes,” and each Hero is an NFT on the Blast platform that players can buy and trade. Furthermore, these Heroes are divided into multiple levels, allowing players to collect multiple common-level characters and upgrade their cards.
It is worth noting that every Web3 influencer represented in the cards receives a small portion of additional income from each card transaction. Currently, well-known meme coin trader Ansem, Web3 fashion brand 9dcc founder Gmoney, Blast founder Pacman, and DeGods NFT project creator Frank are all Heroes in the Fantasy.top game.
During the Fantasy.top competition, players must choose five NFT cards from their collection to form a team. The score is based on the “Heroes” on the cards, meaning the community interactions and reach of these Web3 KOLs are crucial for the outcome of the game.
Through the game, players can earn rewards, including Ethereum, Blast Gold points that affect the BLAST token airdrop, and Fantasy.top’s own FAN points.
To play the game, players currently need to purchase at least five card NFTs. Fantasy.top currently offers card packs for around $1,200, or players can individually purchase specific cards on the marketplace.

Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of “Bot” Manipulated Interactions
Although Fantasy.top has attracted player attention, the project is still in its early stages of development and faces various issues that need to be addressed.
For instance, since the scoring in Fantasy.top is based on the interactions of Web3 influencers on the cards, many players manipulate tweet interactions using bots. Content creator Jenn Duong once noticed a sudden increase in interactions on a video on her X page and realized that players might be manipulating it through bots to affect her Fantasy.top score. Jenn Duong even turned her X account from public to private because of this.
Due to this issue, Fantasy.top decided to end a major competition prematurely. If the project wants to convert the initial hype into a sustainable game model and prevent artificial manipulation of social media interactions, addressing this issue will undoubtedly be crucial.
