CSGO IS ONCHAIN🫡
Two Solana projects are now effectively PVPing for dominance in the onchain CSGO2 skin meta. The first is SkinMachine ($SM), which launched as an onchain CSGO2 skin unboxing and gacha platform, replicating the hype of Web2 case openings but with transparency and liquidity. Over 8,000 packs have been opened already, generating $250k+ in revenue and 80 SOL in Pump.fun creator fees. Users can instantly sell unboxed skins for 75% of their value and redeem them to Steam, though transparency around randomness and manipulation-proof mechanics remains a concern. Their whitepaper outlines upgrades like moving to inventory based fulfillment, buyback flywheels, and gamified EV boosts to keep the platform sustainable. Despite an early exploit pause, $SM has continued to build momentum and now trades at a $567k market cap.
This is how Skin Machines gatcha/loot system will change the CS2 skin market forever

Meanwhile, the newer Colosseum hackathon champion $HUCH, is taking a different approach, minting CSGO2 skins as tradable and lendable tokens directly onchain. It sold nearly all of its initial skin inventory, with burn to redeem and USDC purchasing on the roadmap. The Huch team has been posting daily updates on X as well, and also said that 50% of royalties on all NFT sales will go to buy back $HUCH. Backed by recognition from Ben Pasternak and its hackathon win, the project is quickly gaining legitimacy. As of right now, $HUCH is leading the race with a $4.9 Million market cap, peaking at $12.4 Million.
Just won the Gaming-University track at @colosseum hackathon! 🏆🎮
Massive shoutout to @SuperteamFRANCE for the incredible support, @CodigoPlatform for the dev tools, and @Arthurisfrench + Sulli from @ZerancePartout for the mentorship 🙏

POKEMON CARDS ARE NOW ONCHAIN🗣
$0.2631 | $102.7 Million | +23.4% |
$CARDS, launched by Collector Crypt and powered by Metaplex NFTs, has surged from an $8 million to a $100 million market cap in three days by tokenizing Pokemon cards as RWAs with full transparency on pools, odds, and pricing. Users can trade cards on Magic Eden, redeem them physically, or sell back at 85% of fair market value, with momentum fueled by the CEO’s recent appearance on Threadguy’s podcast that brought in hundreds of thousands of viewers. The project operates through secured vaults for authenticating and storing PSA graded cards, combining gacha mechanics with onchain infrastructure and proving itself one of the fastest growing RWA tokens in the space. If unsure of what gacha is, it’s redeeming money or in game currency for in game tokens, characters, rewards, etc.
CARDS CEO says their gacha machine is the only one in the world offering a positive expected value.
“Our machine has a +10% EV. Put $50 into the machine and on average you will get $55 worth of cards”

THERE’S SO MUCH BRAINROT
It’s a little bit of brainrot galore right now. What’s sort of popular now is people commenting under Adrian’s Barbershop’s google page. It’s a combo of the adrian friend group meme and the “a barbershop haircut that costs a quarter” TikTok clip mashed up into Adriancore and Eeffoc edits. Right now, the cult of Adrian coin is at a $68k market cap and down 11%, $BARBERSHOP tied to the haircut meme is at $74k and up 32%, and $ADRIAN tied to the barbershop branding is much smaller at $18k. There’s so many it’s hard to keep track of lol.
