Floki has created a short YouTube video showing the steps needed to set up the wallet properly and connect to the game.
BSC News took Valhalla for a spin, drawing a match as the mushroom-like Vera Húshroom against the bear-like Bjørn.
At first blush, the game graphics were detailed and fairly smooth for a demo. We did have to sign several (no-cost) transactions at certain points during the game.
The turn-based strategy gameplay was easy to pick up on, and there were simple in-game instructions for guidance, such as descriptions of the available actions and items.
Using Húshroom’s distance attacks, we stayed out of the range of melee-focused Bjørn and managed to take out the bear without suffering any damage.
In addition to the random draw against a computer opponent, the demo does have the option to challenge a human friend.
Floki Inu began with a tweet from Elon Musk. When the billionaire announced he would name his Shiba Inu puppy Floki, it created a deluge of ‘Floki’ dogcoins. The most successful of these is Floki Inu. Floki Inu is currently the third most popular meme token on the market behind Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. It is backed by a community of committed enthusiasts and a strong marketing campaign.

Binance is in the FUD hot seat and CZ is hitting back.
Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world, is facing a number of public accusations that are causing “fear, uncertainty, and doubt” (FUD) about several areas of the company.
The company has faced several headlines in recent weeks, with some remarkable pieces of attention on December 11-12 alone.
A few Binance headlines from the last 24 hours:
– US Justice Department may charge Binance Execs for money laundering
– Binance locks withdrawals for some accounts amid what CEO calls 'just market behavior'
– Binance's proof of reserves raises red flags
CZ explained the recent account stalls for many users over Dec. 11.
Based on our investigations so far, this appears to be just market behavior. One guy deposited funds and started buying. (Hackers don’t deposit). Other guys followed. Can’t see linkage between the accounts. 1/3 https://t.co/QlB1VnlHVs
In just this past week, the crypto company has also faced more negative attention.
Notably, Kraken CEO Jesse Powell continued the CEX Wars through several tweets on December 8. Powell highlighted several red flags in Binance’s recent Proof of Reserve audit by Mazars.
ok, I'll give you a hint. This is just the easy stuff that says this OBVIOUSLY is not a traditional Proof of Reserves, and should immediately have had actual journalists digging.
Why use collateral value? Why negative balances included? No wallet signing? Who issues BTCB & BBTC? pic.twitter.com/F9u4XJ5WSi
Former Chief of the SEC Internet Enforcement Office, John Reed Stark, has also used his platform lately to spread FUD about Binance’s Proof of Reserves and opaque leadership.
Binance’s “proof of reserve” report doesn’t address effectiveness of internal financial controls, doesn’t express an opinion or assurance conclusion and doesn’t vouch for the numbers. I worked at SEC Enforcement for 18+ yrs. This is how I define “red flag. https://t.co/6oEqmArjS9
Binance's CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has taken to Twitter to calm users and investors publicly. Just two days removed from getting defensive with Kevin O’Leary, Binance had to hit back at money laundering FUD from Reuters.
Others also called into question the original story that started the FUD.
How to create FUD against #Binance 101. 👇
Take news from 2018, recycle it and turn it into Breaking News in 2022 as revenge for #FTX collapse.
If you did not know, #CoinDesk is owned by Digital Currency Group or the ones behind Grayscale which is in trouble lately… pic.twitter.com/42anGVuARh
CZ ultimately followed with encouragement to fight through and “keep building.”
Ignore FUD. Keep building!
Overall the FUD against Binance feels strong and real. Questions still remain about the company’s liabilities and whether or not they failed a recent audit. CZ also monarchically revoked access for a single person for some tweets.
It was hard to imagine that FTX was insolvent. It’s hard to imagine the same for Binance. The institutions are certainly out for crypto and Binance at this time. CZ and Binance are right to be on the defensive but must back it up by walking the walk with their reserves talk.
Binance positions itself as the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and crypto-asset infrastructure provider with a financial product suite that includes the largest digital asset exchange by volume. The Binance platform aims to increase the freedom of money for users and features a comprehensive portfolio of crypto-asset products and offerings, including trading and finance, education, data and research, social good, investment and incubation, decentralization, and infrastructure solutions.

SBF faces criminal investigation for one of the largest financial frauds in history.
Infamous crypto personality Sam Bankman-Fried has been arrested Monday, December 12, evening local time in the Bahamas.
SBF faces criminal investigation by U.S. and Bahamian authorities following the collapse of FTX last month. The American citizen likely faces extradition back to the USA. SBF had teased the idea of attending a Congression hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 13 to which he was invited.
🚨BREAKING: #SBF arrested by the Bahamas and states the #US has "shared interest in holding accountable all individual associated with FTX."#FTX #Arrested #Finally #Crypto pic.twitter.com/YAe7AaMsfH
The island nation's Attorney General confirmed the FTX founder and former CEO’s arrest after American authorities filed criminal charges against him.
Attorney Damian Williams for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed the request and SBF’s arrest in a public statement on Monday as well.
USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. Government, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.
SBF’s potential charges include wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and money laundering. He hopefully will be face life in prison.
The SDNY Attorney’s Office expects to unseal the indictment documents around 10:00EM EST Tuesday morning – 15:00 UTC.
Polygon's continues to cozy up with key companies to grow its reach.
Polygon has continued to hit the press with new partnership announcements coming from the world of corporate America.
The recent release of a Polygon-based Starbucks rewards program is just the icing on the cake of a long line of integrations.
Currently building on the Polygon Network are:
This list covers a wide range of market share from gambling, to entertainment, to apparel and consumer products.
Polygon is currently showing how blockchain technology can be integrated into everyday apps and use cases to help businesses build better rewards programs and customer relationships.
When it comes to the chain wars, Polygon has positioned itself well as the first choice for corporate builders.
Currently, MATIC trades at $0.903, according to CoinGecko. MATIC is up +6.8% in the last week and down -15.8% in the last month.
Polygon is a “layer two” or “sidechain” scaling solution that runs alongside the Ethereum blockchain — allowing for speedy transactions and low fees. MATIC is the network’s native cryptocurrency, which is used for fees, staking, and more. The effectiveness of Polygon as an alternative to Ethereum has seen existing projects such as Aave and Curve adopting its chain.

The latest Solana partnership with Discord brings Web3 identity alongside traditional Web2 idenity.
Discord has added Solana wallet integration to its Linked Roles features. The move is a big plus for Solana gamers and the Web3 community.
Users can now, based on the December 12 announcement, link their Solana wallet and qualify for roles on Discord. The new integration will use metadata such as holdings, number of txs, or age of the wallet to like the Solana wallets with the Discord IDs. Discord moderators can use these metrics to enable roles inside servers.
Discord's newly announced Linked Roles include support for Solana – a first for any blockchain 🔥
Servers with the Solana app installed can prompt users to link and authenticate with their Solana wallet, and assign Linked Roles based on the wallet! https://t.co/xRD5lwii02
Many in the Solana community have celebrated the arrival of the integration on Twitter. Austin Federa, Head of Communications at Solana Foundation, is excited to see what the Discord community can create from the integration.
Very cool to see Discord adding support for Solana wallets – can't wait to see what folks build with this 🥳 https://t.co/PXryj1E635
Linked Roles give users on Discord a ton of flexibility to verify their identity through blockchain and open the various abilities that the roles provide.
Could NFT integration be next?
The move further molds the Web3 identity into Web2 and traditional gaming platforms. A user’s Solana address can now be displayed right next to their Spotify playlist, PlayStation or Xbox username, and more.
This further obfuscates the human and state identity with the digital world. This is a major step for Web3 identity and another step toward the network state.
Discord is also just the latest big-name integration for the Solana network. The Solana team announced Google Cloud as a new validator last month during their annual BreakPoint conference. There have also been partnerships with Instagram, Helium, and projects associated with Jump and Coral.
Did CertiK just admit to auditing the incoming Core DAO release?
Core DAO gave a ridiculous tease on December 12 that could indicate something big is on the way.
Core DAO tweeted a riddle mid-Monday which seemed to indicate that the building and audit have been completed for their mainnet and that the launch is incoming.
We have some exciting news!
Here's a little riddle:
🕵️🔐👩🔧📊🛡️💯✅🔜⛓️
Who can guess the meaning? #CoreDAO
CertiK added to the speculation by sending some eyeballs under the Core DAO tweet.
👀
Could Core DAO be bringing bitcoin mining to the next level on the back of CertiK’s help? The world will have to be left waiting. Including BSC News.
What is happening here pic.twitter.com/v3wTghfbQd
Core DAO is the official decentralized organization developing the Satoshi Plus ecosystem. It represents an opportunity for miners to access new revenue streams by contributing hash power to the chain. Inspired by the principles of both blockchains, Core displays a deep appreciation for the history of the crypto ecosystem paired with an even greater excitement for Core’s role in its future.
