Tiny Colony - A New Pixelated Metaverse Running on Solana

Sponsored • April 20, 2022

The decentralized nature of peer-to-peer networks, rather than relying on a single server, makes it possible for users to connect with online services.



In this context, new projects are launching metaverse systems that fully leverage the decentralized nature of blockchain technology. Today we will impartially review the Tiny Colony initiative, one of the latest projects to join this growing market.


About Tiny Colony

Tiny Colony is a pixelated ecosystem running on the Solana blockchain and featuring a wide range of gameplay modes, activities, and events. 


Building and growing advanced Ant colonies, defending their bases against evil creatures that wander the deep, and participating in large-scale community events are just some activities available to players in the Tiny Colony Metaverse. 


Base Builder and Battle Arena are just a few examples of the many activities that players will be able to participate in as part of their newfound sense of community.


The Project’s Partnerships

Fractal, the first NFT Marketplace devoted to Blockchain Gaming, announced cooperation with Tiny Colony earlier this year. Tiny Colony described its excitement to collaborate with Fractal, whose technology and mission to develop and enrich the Blockchain Gaming sector aligns with the team’s vision. 


An open market for gaming-related NFTs, Fractal was launched on Solana in Q4 2021. Key collaborations with gaming companies and projects allow NFTs to be quickly dropped into the platform.


The team explained that the first NFT sale set up through this partnership raised $2 million in February. This amount represents, as of today, a record in Fractal’s business. 


Other significant partnerships, such as the one with Solana NFT space and Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch and Justin.tv, are also utilized by the team. 


Moreover, Tiny Colony has teamed up with iLogos, a gaming company working with the likes of Ubisoft and EA, as well as Dreamworks and Rovio.


Tiny Colony’s Next Event on Fractal

Tiny Colony’s team has recently announced the imminent launch of a new NFT event on Fractal. Investors will be able to put their hands on character NFTs on April 28th following a whitelisting procedure.

The team expects to mint different NFT categories, ranging from “creatures” to “sorcerers.” Under each group, the developers included several levels of rarity. For example, we find lords, dukes, and archbishops in the “noble” category.


The event will feature 10,000 unique NFT characters at a whitelist price set to 1 $SOL (1.5$ SOL is, instead, the public price).


It won’t be possible to select NFTs since the system will randomly assign them to the users. However, with multiple Whitelist Access Tokens, users can mint multiple Character NFTs. 


Character NFTs are critical to protecting the Colony in the Base Builder game mode. Ant Raiders can be defeated if these NFTs are carefully positioned in the Colony's defenses. In the Gladiator Arena game mode users can go head-to-head against other users and win loot and rare NFTs. 


Character NFT holders will additionally have access to the whitelisting process of other NFT mints, and they will receive free airdrops from the system. The team set up a private Discord channel for NFT holders, and they will allow them to join Tiny Alliance’s social network group.


The Project’s Tokenomics

The Tiny Colony Marketplace, The Bazaar, offers a broad selection of NFTs for $TINY. In the Tiny Colony universe, some NFTs include characters, weapons, armor, vehicles, customizations, and more.

The allocation of $TINY tokens is as follows:


  • Players: 30%
  • Ecosystem & Rewards: 29.9%
  • Team: 15%
  • Private: 9.5%
  • Advisory: 5.5%
  • Liquidity: 5%
  • Marketing/Legal: 5%
  • Public: 1.1%


The token’s total supply will be equal to 100 million samples, but the initial circulating supply will only amount to roughly 4.6% of this number. Specifically, the tokens will initially be divided among the IDO, DEX liquidity, private sale rounds, marketing & legal operations, and ecosystem & rewards system.

 

Tiny Colony’s Roadmap

The team will grant early game access this year by the end of Q2. Apart from that, we have some details about the project’s plans, which we summarized below:


  • Q3 2022: the “Gladiator Arena” game will be available, providing its Player vs. Player (or PvP) mode. Furthermore, the team expects to have a series of NFT drops.
  • Q4 2022: besides organizing other NFT drops, the developers will release the “Battle Arena” and “Tiny Wars,” integrating more PvP and PvE options in Tiny Colony’s ecosystem.
  • Q1 2023: we already have some details about next year, which should see the release of “Tiny Slots” and “Tiny Theatre,” together with more NFT drops.


Bottom Line

The project’s roadmap indicates that Tiny Colony is an ambitious project wishing to launch on Solana. The team has already disclosed information about this year and 2023, promising a long-term commitment to the project.


The market will keep an eye on the next NFT event organized by Tiny Colony on Fractal. The team will update its community through the project’s official website and social media pages (Discord, Twitter, Instagram, and Medium).

In the rapidly evolving world of trading, HyroTrader has emerged as one of the best crypto prop firms, setting new standards in transparency, technology, and community building. Founded in 2023 by entrepreneur Samuel Drnda, HyroTrader has grown from an ambitious idea into a global company with 34 full-time employees, a community of 30,000+ traders, and recognition across the industry as a true pioneer. From Startup Roots to Industry Leadership The HyroTrader story began with Samuel Drnda, a young entrepreneur who previously built and exited a company focused on automation, machine learning, and AI solutions, and also ran a performance marketing agency with over 40 employees. At just 24 years old, Drnda launched HyroTrade, a crypto CFD trading platform that attracted thousands of customers. During this time, Drnda also gained first-hand experience at Golem Trading, a traditional Prague-based prop trading firm. There, he realized something important: while forex traders had access to prop firms like FTMO, which generated more than $213 million in 2023, no equivalent solution existed for crypto traders. In 2023, Drnda pivoted the business into HyroTrader, an evaluation-based crypto prop firm built to provide traders with real opportunities to scale with capital, tools, and education. The First to Innovate: Bybit API Integration HyroTrader quickly made its mark by becoming the first crypto prop firm to introduce a direct API integration with Bybit. This innovation reshaped the industry, enabling traders to connect their accounts directly and trade in a way that had never been possible before. Other firms soon followed, adopting similar approaches, but the impact was clear: HyroTrader was setting the pace for the entire industry. “When we innovate, the industry follows,” says CEO Samuel Drnda. “We don’t just participate in this market — we move it forward.” Scaling Capital Access for Traders HyroTrader gives traders the ability to access funded accounts up to $200,000, profit splits of 70–90%, and the opportunity to scale up to $1 million in trading capital. So far, the firm has: Funded 700+ traders Processed more than $2 million in payouts Built a community of 30,000+ users worldwide This commitment has earned HyroTrader recognition in the industry, being ranked twice among the best crypto prop firms by respected outlets such as: Altfins: The Best Crypto Prop Trading Firms Living From Trading: Top Crypto Prop Firms Community and Global Presence HyroTrader is more than just a platform — it’s a global community. In late 2024, the company organized a trading tournament at Bybit HQ in Dubai, bringing together the top 30 crypto traders. The event went viral, generating over 170,000 views on social media and further boosting HyroTrader’s reputation as one of the most innovative names in the industry. Today, the team includes 34 full-time employees, with 15 in the Prague office and the rest working remotely from around the world. To support global growth, HyroTrader is also opening a new office in Dubai, a major hub for international crypto trading. Combating Fraud with Decentralization As the popularity of prop trading grows, so too has the number of fraudulent projects. HyroTrader is responding by building a decentralized crypto prop trading protocol, which will allow trader evaluations and performance to be recorded transparently on the blockchain. This innovation will provide traders with a verifiable trading history and give other firms the chance to build on the same framework, improving standards across the entire industry. Investing in People and Product Development HyroTrader is now entering its most ambitious growth phase yet. The company is hiring aggressively and investing heavily into product development to ensure its platform can scale efficiently. “By bringing in the best talent and building scalable technology, we’re preparing for the next stage — serving over a million traders worldwide,” explains Drnda. Future Roadmap Looking ahead, HyroTrader is preparing several major initiatives: New Scalable Application (2025): Launching a next-generation trading platform designed to scale operations to over 1 million users. Crypto Fund for Algo Traders: Supporting algorithmic traders with real capital, helping them test, validate, and scale their strategies. Expanding API Integrations: Partnering with multiple leading exchanges to bring prop trading to new markets. Exchanges themselves are showing strong interest, recognizing that the model generates substantial trading volume. A Trusted Name Among the Best Crypto Prop Firms With consistent innovation, industry-first integrations, and a clear vision for the future, HyroTrader continues to earn its reputation as one of the best crypto prop firms in the world. “HyroTrader was built to empower traders with real opportunities,” says Drnda. “From Bybit API integration to decentralized protocols, everything we do is about pushing the industry forward while protecting and supporting our community.” To learn more about HyroTrader or apply for a trading challenge, visit hyrotrader.com .

In a digital landscape long dominated by Silicon Valley and China’s internet giants, a new force is rewriting the rules of connection and community: Vchat, a project born in Vietnam with a vision far larger than just another messaging app. What began as a communication tool has evolved into an awakening ecosystem — where ownership, governance, and value converge. Its mission is simple yet radical: return voice, value, and agency to the people. The Ownership Economy Unlike traditional social platforms that extract value from user data and attention, Vchat flips the model: Web3 Transparency – All contributions are recorded on-chain, ensuring fairness and traceability. AI Personalization – Each user interacts with an intelligent assistant that supports their journey. Community Rewards – Engagement is converted into VCT Tokens, turning participation into tangible ownership. At the heart of this system lies the VCT Token, powering Vchat’s digital economy. Every like, post, or contribution flows back into the community — not upward to corporations. Users can tip creators, unlock services, trade in the marketplace, or reinvest in the platform’s growth. Governance by the People Vchat is not run from boardrooms but by its community. Through DAO governance, users vote on features, economics, and rules of the ecosystem. Decisions once made in closed circles are now open, transparent, and democratic — a genuine shift of power from corporations to communities. Even advertising is reimagined. Instead of intrusive algorithms, Vchat introduces consensus-driven visibility, where creators and businesses gain exposure through community approval, not manipulation. Commerce Without Borders Beyond social interaction, Vchat embeds seamless borderless commerce. Users can buy, sell, and exchange digital goods or services directly through VCT — bypassing intermediaries. This creates a global marketplace where every participant is both a consumer and an entrepreneur. The VK Vision: From Vietnam, to the World Behind Vchat is VK, a founder whose philosophy goes beyond building platforms. As the Whitepaper states: “We are not chasing the attention economy. We are building the ownership economy — where communities don’t just participate, they lead.” This vision positions Vietnam not as a follower of digital trends, but as a producer of systems that can redefine global standards. Observers believe Vchat’s trajectory could mark a turning point not just for Vietnam’s tech landscape, but for the future of the internet itself. A Turning Point in Digital Culture Vchat is not competing for ad revenue or screen time. It is offering an entirely new paradigm: Where users are co-owners, not data points. Where technology empowers, not controls. Where value circulates within communities, not siphoned by corporations. As the project scales globally, it carries a bold message: “The future does not only begin in Silicon Valley. The future can begin anywhere — even here, in Vietnam.” Official Information Website: https://tapdoanvk.com Whitepaper: https://token.tapdoanvk.com
