The idea behind dungeons is to provide creators with an incredible feature to create games and campaigns, entertain their communities, and deliver collectibles attached to their heroes. Now, tell us the truth: Have you seen any other gaming project where AI-assisted UGC meets NFTs alongside exciting gaming lore and experiences? From the depths of the rift comes Varkhos — The Ashen Tyrant 🌋 Massive shoutout to our incredible ambassador @renataro for this jaw-dropping piece and backstory! This dragon is pure perfection. ✨ Drop some love in the comments! 🤩 #TalesOfValdir #ZarGates

VESRA, THE UNFINISHED RITE She went down into the dungeon for the rite that ends the Fire-Curse. She found it carved on a stone the Shift cannot move, and she started it. The rite does not heal what you are. It takes it out of you and leaves nothing in its place. She stopped at her own name. What is left of her walks in wearing a traveller's cloak, and she still passes for a woman right up until she says that name out loud. She stays at the rift because the Shift cannot reach underground. Up there, every night would take a little more of what the rite left her. Down here she still remembers one name, and she kills whatever comes through the door before it can finish what she started. @PromptSin @AIFutureVine @NoOneIsHere2603 #TalesOfValdir

Friday night lights.

Love this game!

This is more than just 8-bit. A special pixel fantasy inspired by the world of Tales of Valdir. A fallen kingdom. Ghostly knights. A colossal dark dragon. And a king sealed within the darkness. Galdorian, the Beast King swordsman,(@ai_animer ) and Celestia, a Twilight Elf who commands dimensional magic, rise together to reclaim what has been lost. A cinematic dark fantasy game-style trailer, brought to life through classic 8-bit pixel art. Clashing blades. Ancient magic. Gravity seals. And the final strike. Created as a tribute to the timeless charm of classic retro RPGs. @ZARGATES @pvp_vibe #ZarGates #Flovaai #Flovacpp @Flovaai

📊 ZARGATES Crypto Market Highlights | Friday, July 24, 2026 • Bitcoin is trading near $64,000–$64,500, down roughly 1% today after pulling back from the recent high near $66,000 as some profit-taking and broader market caution set in. • Ethereum is hovering around $1,880–$1,900, down about 2–2.5% in the last 24 hours, though it remains above key support levels after its strong move earlier in the week. • Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded mixed flows recently, with strong inflows of +$200M+ on several days earlier this week (including +$227M on July 20), though one report noted outflows around $225M on July 23. • Total crypto market cap sits near $2.2–2.3 trillion, with Bitcoin dominance holding steady around 56% as selective altcoin strength continues in DeFi and meme segments. • Top 24-hour gainers include Audiera ( $BEAT) surging over +12%, MemeCore ( $M) showing resilience, and several smaller-cap names posting double-digit moves amid rotation. • The recent pullback follows BTC’s strong run toward $66K and ETH’s push above $1,950, with short liquidations and institutional buying providing support during dips. • Ethereum continues to show relative outperformance versus Bitcoin on a weekly basis in several reports, with the ETH/BTC ratio improving as altcoin sentiment stabilizes. • Traders are watching key resistance at $65,700–$66,000 for Bitcoin and $1,950–$2,000 for Ethereum, with options data showing a notable $5 billion cluster forming. • Dogecoin ( $DOGE) led some of the majors lower today amid the broader risk-off tone tied to tech sector moves and AI-related rotation. • Institutional interest remains evident through consistent ETF participation earlier in the week, even as daily flows show some volatility and rotation between issuers. • Overall sentiment is slightly cautious on the day but constructive on the week, with the market holding major supports after the strong mid-July recovery from June lows. • Volumes have stayed decent during the pullback, suggesting the move is more consolidation than a major reversal as participants digest recent gains and macro cues.
