Ethereum is currently working to migrate towards a dramatically less energy intensive Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, which relies on financial collateral in place of computational mining activity. PoW blockchains require a significant amount of computing power to validate and secure all transactions on the network, and this is an energy-intensive process. The Habbo Avatars project is a collection of NFTs that live on the Ethereum network, which is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain.
We’re super excited to see what happens next and where we go next. Habbo Avatars has been a really, really fun thing to work on. Finally, he is also a huge believer in play to earn mechanics and NFTs in general. He also owns a fair amount of other NFTs in various blockchains including Tezos and Flow. He’s also an avid NFT collector, having got his two Bored Apes as they were minted. He’s the lead game designer for Habbo’s sister game, Hotel Hideaway, and his background is in data and computer science. Muumiopappa is a gaming and NFT fanatic based out of Helsinki, Finland. We didn’t outsource much of it, and it’s something we see as a long term thing that will grow and eventually contribute to other areas of Habbo, and indeed Hotel Hideaway.Ī special mention should go to the project’s mastermind: Muumiopappa. Members of the Habbo art and developer teams have been involved, as well as staff from Sulake’s community team. The Habbo Avatar project is something we planned and executed ourselves, in-house.
