I requested to withdraw my fun token from FreeBitco.in on July 11, 2025 on my Binance Fun ERC20 wallet. But so far I have not acquired a withdrawal at Binance Wallet. The fun tokens on Freebitco.in are displayed in my account. And I can’t see the history of my fun token leave transaction there. If anyone leads me in this respect, I would appreciate you.

Tech companies like Apple, Google, and Meta want smart and AR glasses to become as ubiquitous and essential as smartphones. Pulling that off will be a challenge, but let’s assume they can. If the biggest tech brands all buy in and go to war over smart glasses, it’ll be a much more fun tech battle to watch than any other.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook wants to make Apple AR glasses the company’s “top priority,” so they can beat Meta to the punch. Apple will focus first on non-holographic “glasses with cameras and microphones” to challenge Meta’s Ray-Bans in the short term, then shift their attention to true mixed reality.

It’s a sudden shift from when Gurman claimed Apple canceled its AR glasses prototype in February because executives weren’t impressed with their MacBook-tethered design.

I bring this up as a reminder that Cook’s desire for true wireless Apple Glasses doesn’t mean his company will release them anytime soon. And Mark Zuckerberg, who wants “billions of AI glasses” worldwide in a decade, is just as passionate about beating Apple.

I’m less concerned about one brand pulling off AR glasses and more interested in seeing a proper free-for-all between the Big Tech brands. Why? Because smart glasses can’t be boring the same way other tech gadgets are, or they’ll never take off.

Why smart glasses will be more fun than other tech

I don’t expect AR glasses to hit the mainstream for years. In the short term, we should see more smart glasses like Meta Ray-Bans with cameras and AI smarts. And there’s a reason why these Ray-Bans have sold so well: because Meta left the design to someone else.

Every non-foldable smartphone looks like an identical thick slab, and updates like Android 16 are more about tweaking and optimizing a well-oiled machine, while iOS typically does its own spin on what Android has done before.

Glasses have to be different. It’s not something you can hide in a pocket or take off if it starts to feel too heavy; you wear them 16 hours a day, and they’ll define the first visual impression people have of you. And for software, these companies will have to develop innovative control schemes and improved AI assistants for them to work.

Meta knew that Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses would perform better than anything its engineers had made because well-established brands could cater to mainstream aesthetics and trends. And it was adding Meta AI to the glasses that made the Ray-Bans really stand out.

If I know Apple, it’ll try to pull off a unique smart glasses look that, like the Apple Watch squircle, redefines what’s acceptable in wearable style, but still work for “regular” people. Meta has taken the opposite route, offering a variety of styles to appeal to the widest group of people; if Google and Samsung are smart, they’ll do the same.

Imagine a future where smart glasses have even a fraction of the styles you’d see in a LensCrafters or Warby Parker. You want Samsung Glasses, but it’s up to you whether you buy Samsung Burberry, Samsung Oakley, or Samsung Gucci.

That sounds more fun to me than trying to pretend that one Android phone or iPhone slab looks that different from another. Instead of near-identical Pro and Ultra handsets, you’d get a variety of looks that appeal to almost anyone.

We still need proof that AR glasses will ‘work’

Meta Orion is a great example of why I’m enthusiastic and skeptical about AR glasses.

Meta has spent tens of billions of dollars on XR R&D over the last few years. The end result is Orion, which has a wireless, no-controller design.

The wireless computing puck and low-power custom silicon ensure it doesn’t tether to and drain your phone battery, while the sEMG neural band gives you a vital and accurate alternative to voice commands.

Meta Orion also weighs too much (almost 100g), has visual limitations, and reportedly costs about $10,000 each to make. The glasses aren’t coming out until 2027, and only to developers because they’re not consumer-ready.

In the meantime, Meta is reportedly developing Hypernova AR glasses with a monocular display, which are expected to cost around $1,000–$1,400. However, that’s still expensive for an accessory, and I assume they’ve downgraded the field of view (FoV), battery life, or resolution compared to Orion.

Then there is Google and Samsung’s Android XR partnership. Google built the software and Gemini AI necessary for AR glasses to work, and it recently exhibited its XR glasses at a TED Talk.

These glasses appear fairly normal from a distance, although they may seem a bit thick in the temples. However, we still don’t know how much they’ll cost, how long they’ll last, or whether people will want a device that can only be controlled with Gemini voice commands. And it appears that these glasses rely on phone computing, which burns through that battery too.

Apple’s original AR prototype allegedly relied on an iPhone connection, but power demands led them to switch to a MacBook. Whatever they try next, Apple will have to overcome the same struggles as its rivals — and prove that Apple Intelligence can keep up with Gemini and Meta AI as a portable assistant.

Will this war be on an even playing field?

It could take a long time for Apple to pull off the AR glasses that Tim Cook wants, that hit the perfect balance of style, power, features, and longevity. Just like smart rings can’t blend in as “normal” jewelry, AR glasses will likely remain thick, obvious gadgets for a long time.

Once they clear that hurdle, Apple and Google will take decade-old apps and redefine them for this new form factor, which will either be exciting or a disaster. They’ll also have the advantage of blocking companies like Meta from accessing their phone apps — unless the EU steps in.

Apple dominates the iPhone ecosystem by blocking third-party accessories like watches and glasses from offering messaging or communicating with phone apps. But the EU DMA ruled that Apple must open up its system.

If Apple’s lawyers can’t argue their way out of this, it’ll force the smart glasses war onto an even playing field. And that, more than anything else, will force Apple and its rivals to compete on style, variety, and name recognition, just as much as smarts. And it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch.

Pixudi combines familiar board game moments with digital asset technology. The concept is straightforward: roll the dice, move around the board, and face various events along the way. Behind the scenes, everything is recorded on a blockchain, ensuring that each roll, trade, and purchase is publicly visible. If you enjoy classic gaming but also want to try out a modern approach, Pixudi might catch your eye.

Free-to-Play Meets Play-to-Earn

Pixudi allows you to play without any initial fee. Suppose you’d like to unlock more features or compete for bigger prizes. In that case, you can spend tokens in the game—perhaps by buying Mystery Packs or joining tournaments with prize pools. Although you might have a slightly easier path if you invest tokens, there’s no direct way to pay for guaranteed wins.

Seasonal Events and Stories

To keep gameplay interesting, Pixudi offers seasonal events that last roughly two or three months. There’s always at least one event going, sometimes more, and each one includes a new theme and extra mechanics.

The first event was called Searching for the Dragon Stone, where you explored a jungle map to find the artifact before time ran out. When an event ends, any player who ranks high on the leaderboard for that event can expect an extra reward. Season 2, Lift the Curse and Find the Lost Ships, has started.

How Pixudi Works

Join or Create a Room

Once you sign in, you either set up a new room or hop into an existing one. After enough players have arrived, the game starts.

Roll the Dice with On-Chain Randomness

Every dice roll depends on a smart contract. That mechanism is there to keep results transparent, which helps prevent cheating. If your character lands on a blank space, you pass the turn to the next player. If you land on a spot with a special event, something good or bad might happen right away.

Dealing with Events

About 30% of a Pixudi board features these event markers:

NFT Items and Power-Ups

Pixudi uses NFT items to help you overcome harmful effects or give yourself a little boost. Many of these items can be bought, sold, or traded with other players. Once a game ends, you can receive experience points, event points (if you played on a seasonal board), or a share of a prize pool.

Shining in the Spotlight

• Super dApp Showdown: In March 2025, Pixudi was one of nine winners in this global competition organized by Supra. This spotlight reinforced the idea that Web3 gaming appeals to casual fans and blockchain enthusiasts.

• Top Web3 Games of Q1 2025: DappRadar listed Pixudi among its top Web3 games for early 2025, reflecting growing player interest.

Why Pixudi Stands Out

• On-Chain Tracking: Every win, purchase, and dice throw appears on the blockchain, so players can trust that the results are fair.

• NFT-Powered Assets: Mystery Packs, power-ups, and other game items function as NFTs, granting them market value and tradability.

• Evolving Gameplay: Seasonal events offer new boards and storylines, reducing monotony for returning players.

• Flexible Entry: Play for free if you just want to test the waters. If you decide to buy tokens, you can join special tournaments, gather more items, and increase your potential rewards.

Multi-blockchain support

Pixudi relies on multiple blockchains. SKALE is a primary partner, offering minimal transaction fees, near-instant finality, and the ability to handle more players. The Neo blockchain is used for decentralized storage and NFT minting, and Tanssi’s appchain infrastructure further boosts Pixudi’s scalability.

Conclusion

Pixudi merges familiar board game ideas with the transparency of blockchain technology. If you’re curious about a fresh way to roll the dice, pick your path, and see what fate has in store, Pixudi might be a solid fit. With free-to-play access, NFT-based items, and a steady rotation of themed events, it appeals to various players. Whether chasing that top leaderboard spot or just passing the time, Pixudi offers a blend of competition and luck that sets it apart from typical online board games.

Pump Fun activity on Solana is in free fall as the memecoin mania appears to be cooling off.

In a recent tweet, on-chain analyst Darky noted that the number of coins bonding had reached near zero, signaling the end of the Pump Fun era.

Nooman.eth, General Partner of 227Fund, also detailed a drop in graduating token numbers from 24,008 last month to 11,332 this month, 2,184 last week, 517 this week, and 186 yesterday. He added that daily token launches have fallen, with overall weekly trading volume now matching levels last seen in September 2024.

The data from these tweets comes after a period when token launches numbered in the tens of thousands.

The decline in bonding activity and token creation suggests that interest in the platform has waned, a development that is affecting liquidity and market participation in Solana. The reduced transaction volumes may signal a broader cooling in the memecoin sector amid a wider market retracement.

The memecoin sector is up around 2% today, down around 14% over the past 7 days. Over the last 30 days, the biggest losses were seen in TRUMP, down 52%; MELANIA, down 62%; WIF, down 54%; and FARTCOIN, down 67%. The only 30-day gainers in the top 10 are Dogecoin, up 37%, and PEPE, up 2%. By comparison, over the same period Bitcoin is down 15%.
