Polygon NFT Sales Volume Spikes on Gas Hero Hype

NFT sales volume on Polygon has jumped 155.87% in the past 24 hours to $2.9 million per CryptoSlam data at the time of writing. The only other top ten blockchains by sales volume to experience upticks in the past 24 hours are Immutable X and BNB, with a 9% and 32% gain, respectively.

Checking the NFT collections with the highest sales volume on the Polygon network reveals that the recent spike in Polygon NFT sales volume is being fueled by Gas Hero, a Web3 massively multiplayer online game (MMO) from Find Satoshi Labs, the developers of Stepn. 

GasHeroBadge and GasHeroCoupon sales sit at the top of the table of the NFT collections with the highest sales volume in the past 24 hours on Polygon with $1.67 million and $687.6k, respectively, according to CryptoSlam data at the time of writing. 

The activity comes as multiple Gas Hero promotional campaigns and giveaways draw attention to the game, which has yet to launch. In the latest promotional initiative inspired by the “Day of the Ninja,” community members can win three Gas Hero Genesis Coupons by guessing the seed phrases of MetaMask wallets from riddles.

On the Flipside

• Despite the spike, NFT sales volume on Polygon is behind that of Solana ($3.7 million), Ethereum ($14.8 million), and Bitcoin ($17.9 million) in the last 24 hours, according to CryptoSlam data at the time of writing.
• The Gas Hero game has yet to launch, though its NFTs are gaining traction.

Why This Matters

The recent jump in Polygon NFT sales volume led by Gas Hero highlights the effectiveness of giveaways in driving activity within the crypto space. The spike also makes Gas Hero a project to watch in the coming weeks.
