Coinbase launches free cards and currency for Parallel's open beta, offering new players $5 in-game credits and two free non-NFT card packs.

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase welcomes players to the Web3 game Parallel by providing free in-game items and currency. The card game Parallel, which has recently entered open beta, is drawing attention with its innovative gameplay. In partnership with Base, Coinbase's Ethereum L2 scaling network, this offer aims to attract more players to the game.

Newcomers to Parallel can expect to receive $5 worth of Glints, the in-game tokens, and two non-NFT card packs. These bonuses are available through Coinbase's "explore" page for retail traders and via social media posts from Base.

Parallel stands out by minting some of its NFTs on the Base network. Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base, considers the game's open beta launch a significant milestone. "With the power of Base's on-chain transactions demonstrated by Parallel's success, we are excited to continue supporting ambitious and creative projects that utilize Coinbase integration and make Ethereum accessible to everyone."

Parallel is an NFT-based collectible card game where players build decks and compete against each other. It is similar to popular games like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering but sets itself apart with a unique space opera setting and added tactical layers, offering a fresh perspective on the genre.

The public launch last Thursday marked a key milestone for Parallel, introducing a new in-game season and content. The game also launched NFT starter decks minted on Base, available for 0.01 ETH (about $38).

This joint effort by Coinbase, Base, and Parallel aims not only to attract new players but also to showcase the potential of blockchain technology. By offering these incentives, Coinbase and Base are paving the way for a more inclusive Web3 gaming experience.
