Bull Run, Baby!

Decentraland's token $MANA is having a comeback! Why? Apple's got game! They listed an Axie Infinity game on their AppStore, and it sent GameFi tokens like $AXS, $MANA, and $SAND soaring!

With over 1.8 billion active Apple devices, blockchain games have huge market potential, and Decentraland investors are going wild.

Big players are strategically buying $MANA for potential gains, adding 21 million tokens from May 11 to 17. And guess what? $MANA is undervalued, just like many other tokens.

Decentraland is a virtual reality platform on Ethereum. It's a decentralized metaverse where you can explore, interact, and build. Each parcel is an NFT, giving owners complete control to create virtual homes, businesses, and more.

The best part? You can make money and trade virtual assets with $MANA. Get in on the fun!

However, the company denies allegations and held a Twitter space to address concerns.

The service encrypts and divides the seed phrase among three custodians, including Ledger itself. Users go through an identification confirmation process for recovery.

Ledger emphasizes transparency and plans to release the code as open source.This move will allow users to examine the inner workings of the system and even create their own version if desired, promoting greater trust and understanding within the community.

While Ledger wallets are designed to be upgradeable, the debate highlights the challenge of balancing convenience and security in the Web3 world. The community will determine its trust in the company.
