Coinbase Offers Freebies for Ethereum NFT Game Parallel

Coinbase, the renowned cryptocurrency exchange, is generously gifting new players in the Ethereum NFT card game Parallel with enticing in-game rewards. Parallel, having recently transitioned to an open beta phase, has caught the attention of gamers and enthusiasts alike. For those entering the gaming realm through Coinbase’s “explore” page dedicated to retail traders or via social media posts from Base—the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network incubated by Coinbase—there’s a delightful offer awaiting: $5 worth of in-game credits (Glints) and two complimentary packs of non-NFT cards.

Parallel’s NFTs find their genesis not only on the Ethereum mainnet but also on Base, a fact highlighted by Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base. In a press release, Pollak emphasized the significance of Parallel’s open beta launch as a “hugely important case study” for the Ethereum scaler. He expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing success of Parallel, showcasing the prowess of Base’s on-chain transactions, and conveyed a commitment to supporting innovative projects leveraging Coinbase integration, thereby making Ethereum more accessible to a broader audience.

Named GG’s pick for the 2023 game of the year, Parallel distinguishes itself as an NFT-driven collectible card game, where players strategically build decks and engage in epic battles. While drawing inspiration from games like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, Parallel adds a unique twist with its space opera setting and tactical elements.

Having transitioned from a closed beta to a public launch last Thursday, Parallel unveiled a fresh in-game season of content. Additionally, the game introduced NFT starter decks recently minted on Base, available at a price of 0.01 ETH (approximately $38 at present). This move not only adds value to the gaming experience but also aligns with Parallel’s commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation in the NFT gaming space.
