Welcome to the Alpha newsletter. We curate alpha for you. That’s it; that’s the newsletter.


2022 is going to be a big year for Alpha. Please consider subscribing to support the free newsletter.


It’s going to be hard to do Treasure justice in one newsletter, but hopefully this gives you the fomo needed to dig deeper.

A Bit of Background to Treasure

Treasure launched as a free and fair derivative of the viral Loot project back in September 2021. The treasure cards were intended as the building blocks for a self-contained universe.

Much has happened since the inception of Treasure, most importantly it survived the perils of extremely low liquidity, which has claimed many a metaverse and NFT fair launch project.

What has developed since then is truly mind-blowing, exciting and everything that Web3 should be and promises to be.

What is Treasure and $MAGIC?

Treasure is a decentralised NFT ecosystem on Arbitrum that is built specifically for metaverse projects. Every project listed on Treasure’s marketplace utilizes MAGIC in their respective metaverses, with each community inventing its own lore and storytelling for this resource. MAGIC, the native token of Treasure, is the sole currency for marketplace transactions. In this way, MAGIC acts as the reserve currency for the entire web of metaverses connected under the Treasure umbrella.

The aesthetic and art is fire in our uneducated artistic opinion. 

Another analogy:

Treasure DAO is building a "decentralised Nintendo" for the metaverse, consisting of the "console" (and its building blocks), their own play-to-earn games, games from other developers, a launchpad for those games, and a marketplace where you can trade the assets of those games as NFT.

$MAGIC is the currency that ties everything together. All games being built utilise $MAGIC and the NFTs can only be bought with $MAGIC.

In order to understand Treasure and its ecosystem you are going to have to read a fair amount, but these are two great threads to get you started:

On Liquidity

The team have made the liquidity of $MAGIC one of the core objectives of the ecosystem.

In their words:

Framing liquidity as the game’s core objective would take the form of metaphor. Three such metaphors come to mind: liquidity as weather, liquidity as time, and liquidity as a measure of spatial reach.

Treasure Dao explain their liquidity metaphors here


The Games

Two games are live and many more will be on the way soon. ALL of the games were free mints. Yes, free mints.

Legions are the NFTs of the Bridgeworld, which is the flagship project of Treasure.

Legion Genesis hit a 5,000 $MAGIC floor following a sweep by lilstone (Opensea username). The whale spent 83,901 $MAGIC ($232,405.77) on 16 Legion Genesis today. This began after the wallet withdrew 179,291 $MAGIC, while led the user to immediately buy up NFTs on @Treasure_NFT

Why is Treasure currently undervalued?

Uncle Pennybags breaks down some of the Treasure ecosystem numbers.

1\ $magic may have run up considerably during the past two weeks, but interestingly, investing in the @Treasure_NFT ecosystem seems more undervalued than ever a short🧵..

Treasure Dao will also be launching their own NFT marketplace. Guess who will benefit? The $MAGIC stakers.

Twitter avatar for @Treasure_NFTTreasureDAO @Treasure_NFT
The Treasure marketplace will always be niche, by design But in 2022, we’re launching our OpenSea competitor. Decentralized, generalized, and all proceeds go to the DAO. Time to make $MAGIC ✨

How to frame $MAGIC as an investment?

You can bet on the whole crypto gaming category with $MAGIC.

Twitter avatar for @adventur_enftAdventureNFT @adventur_enft
$MAGIC is the fair-launch, decentralized, Metaverse ETF. Trying to pick individual games? Good luck. People base their entire careers and are paid millions to pick individual games, and produce flops all the time. Invest in attention and belonging, not individual games, $MAGIC.

Many people, including ourselves, are very bullish on L2s, PlayToEarn and NFT marketplaces in 2022. Point well made from Mike.

Whether the next big thing is NFT marketplaces, #PlayToEarn, or L2s, $MAGIC is positioned to benefit from any of those narratives.

You probably want to look into the @Treasure_NFT ecosystem and see what they are building. $MAGIC will run hard and currently under $150M marketcap. Here is a gift.
