Razer has partnered with Worldcoin to introduce "Razer ID verified by World ID," a new system that proves users are real humans in the age of AI. By linking your Razer ID to World ID, you get a verified human badge, designed to help game developers fight bots, reduce toxic behavior, and improve user authentication. Verification is done privately and securely through the World App, using biometric or document-based methods that confirm you’re a unique individual without compromising your privacy.
This verification can also unlock benefits for gamers, including bonus Razer Silver in some cases. Game developers using Razer ID’s SSO integration can tap into this system to build fairer and more secure experiences. While Razer provides the integration, all verification is handled by World, and any rewards are fully managed by them. Read the full announcement here.

Superseed is hosting a game development contest where the winner will take home the equivalent of a Tesla Model 3—$34,750 in USDC on Ethereum mainnet. To enter, participants must build a Superseed-themed game using Grok or any AI model, post a Twitter thread with a description, a 30-second video, and a quote retweet of the original contest tweet, then submit the game in the Superseed Discord with the code, prompt(s), and Twitter link. Only one submission per participant is allowed.
Entries will be reviewed by Superseed founder David, a gaming streamer, and the Superseed community, who will each select their top 10 games. Final judging is based on Superseed theme (30%), gameplay quality (30%), creativity (30%), and Twitter visibility (10%). All valid submissions will be shared in an official thread by the Superseed account. Submissions close after Mainnet, with winners announced within two weeks. Learn more here.
Ethernity Chain is now Epic, a next-gen Layer 2 blockchain focused on real-world assets (RWAs), gaming, and entertainment. What started in 2021 with NFT drops featuring stars like Messi and Shaq is evolving into a full ecosystem designed to bring millions of users and major brands onchain. Alongside the rebrand, the $ERN token has been swapped 1:1 for $EPIC, with migration available anytime via their portal or CEX partners.
Epic isn’t just about a new name, it’s about building a scalable blockchain for real utility. With DAO-driven governance, no swap deadline, and a vision to lead the next wave of Web3, Epic is positioning itself as the go-to chain for RWAs and entertainment experiences. Check out Epic Chain here.
The final report for Cycle 34 of the Optimism Grants Council is out. Out of the applications reviewed, five were approved, including grants for Fluid DEX, Morpho, Sake Finance, Mode, and WOOFi, totaling 1,364,000 OP granted for TVL Growth. Several applications were deferred to Cycle 35 due to missing information or the need to align with Superchain interoperability requirements. Audit grants are still pending, and the remaining budget stands at 3,285,070 OP.
The Grants Council made a few key updates this cycle, including changes to the rubric—replacing the “Discretionary Factor” with an “Application Readiness” score—and added questions about SuperchainERC20 support and current TVL. It also became mandatory for applicants on orange-listed chains to provide co-incentives. Immunefi and Certora were added as whitelisted auditing providers. The team also shared that instead of measuring individual reviewer performance, the 50,000 OP retro budget will now be tied to a TVL-based KPI. If 50% or 100% of the target TVL is reached, the corresponding portion of the retro budget will be distributed evenly among Council members. Looking ahead, Cycle 35 already has 28 new TVL applications and 4 audit requests lined up. Read the full report here.
The Superchain has grown to 30 different OP Chains, each with its flourishing Ecosystem. These are some extra stories to make your Sunday that much more Super.
