The founder of Doge dropped a three-tiered series of NFTs and Paris Hilton becomes an NFT advisor.
Billy Markus, the co-founder and engineer of Dogecoin (DOGE), who also sold off his DOGE stash for the equivalent of a used Honda Civic in 2015, has entered the nonfungible token (NFT) market.
On June 9, Markus unveiled the drop of Doge-based NFTs dubbed “Capped Dogecoin” which he described as “Much cap, very deflation, many tokenomics. Many Available.”

The NFTs are split into three tiers, and all depict a spinning golden coin, with a picture of the iconic Shiba Inu in a Dogecoin baseball cap — with the upper two-tiered NFTs having more detail such as a colored cap, an outer space background or a shiner polish to the coin.
Tier-one is an open edition of 420 copies and can be purchased on Rarible for 0.081 wrapped Ether (wETH) worth $208.52 at current prices.
Tier-two is already sold out on Rarible, and had three copies which sold for 0.8 Ether (ETH) each worth around $2,063.
The third tier consisted of a one-of-one which sold for 1.5 ETH worth $3,866 on Foundation earlier today, with Foundation user “swaggmire” purchasing the rights to the NFT.
Interestingly, “swaggmire” went on to re-list the NFT for 420.69 ETH worth around $1 million, however that appeared to be in jest, as they promptly changing the price to 6 ETH worth roughly $15,500.

Guild of Guardians
A new mobile-based NFT game called Guild of Guardians has completed the first wave of its "Founder’s NFT sale," raising $3 million in sales, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
The sale was for a collection of usable and “playable” NFTs that will be introduced into the game, with prices ranging from $200 to $100,000.
Philippines-based crypto gaming collective Yield Guide Games purchased one of the 10 “mythic guild” NFT worth $100,000. The mythic guild NFT allows up to 50 players to enter the game and provides the guild owner a 10% cut of earnings from guild crafting in the game.
“The community response has been incredible. Over 50% of all sales came via referrals — indicating that the community was sharing with each other, and there is a real 'share-to-earn' aspect in place," said Derek Lau, Game lead for Guild of Guardians.
The game follows the play to earn model, however, Lau also expressed the importance of developing a game that is fun to play and not just about the monetary rewards:
“Rather than 'play-to-earn,' we want to instill the idea of 'play-and-earn' — ensuring that players are not just playing to make money alone, but playing for fun and great gameplay as well," Lau said
