The new NFT is designed to provide strategic advantages for players, particularly those focused on long-term gameplay benefits. Described as the “ultimate card,” the Master Strategist Joker functions as a wildcard within the War on Bugs game. The Master Strategist Joker mint will be limited to a maximum of 500 NFTs. Each token will be available for 5,000 NDMEME or 2 GAS.
Neo News Today rebranded the NNT YouTube channel to Smart Economy Network. The update is part of an ongoing effort to expand the reach of Neo-related content through broader narratives, making it more accessible and appealing to a wider audience beyond the immediate Neo community. All existing content formats, including the Neo Week-in-Reviews, event interviews, Core and Council meeting recordings, and The Smart Economy Podcast, will continue to be published on the channel. This change does not impact any other content or operations, and the team is not planning any additional rebranding for other core NNT platforms, such as NeoNewsToday.com or nDapp.org.
