Daily DRVN #28

Buckle up, Buttercup!  

Things getting pretty serious around here. We’ve got a number of big things in the works for DRVN Culture, DRVN/VHCLS, and Based Buster Coin… Some of which will be announced imminently.

You know, just stuff like new partnerships and collabs, major company developments, product announcements, and community contests. No biggie.

On top of that, I am now fully prepared to begin livestreaming various web2 & web3 motorsport games. There is no shortage of amazing games to show off. The question is, which ones should I feature first? @ me on 𝕏 to let me know.

Check out my new rig below. This is my first step on my journey to become a hard code (eventually, maybe even professional) sim racer.

I will be documenting every step of the way as I learn about the ins and outs of competitive sim racing, and systematically upgrade my hardware from the entry level setup I have now, to a rig that would make Max Verstappen envious.

Much more on this… and everything else to come.

For now, let’s blast through the past couple weeks in the automotive web3 sector.

There is no project more prolific in the automotive web3 space than The Motorverse. Here is your rundown of everything happening within their digital vehicle ecosystem.

Sheesh… At this point, the Daily DRVN newsletter is practically becoming the Motorverse newsletter. But with how amazing everything TM produced is, I ain’t mad about it.

REVV Staking Gets $TURBO-charged

A couple weeks back we shared that The Motorverse opened their $REVV staking feature. Now, not only will stakers earn Motor Score Points that count towards airdrops, whitelist spots, and other rewards… The Motorverse revealed that stakers will also be rewarded in $TURBO, via their partnership with memecoin, Turbo Toad Token!

Livery Design Competition Submissions

The first activation with $TURBO and Revv Motorsport was a livery design contest, and the top 10 designs have been selected.

Those who made the cut won a stack of $TURBO, with P1 taking home 50K tokens worth approx. $300. Not too shabby.

Here the winners. Which is your fav?
