A New LAND Sale Process

Process-wise, we’re kicking things up a notch with this LAND sale. Ensuring a democratic purchasing process and opportunities to participate in both regular and Premium LAND sales has always been our focus. As such, the LAND sale process has been revamped and will now be granted via raffles.

What is the new LAND sale process like?

To be eligible to participate in the upcoming LAND sales, you will now need to have a KYCed account. This will also allow us to validate that all entrants have enough SAND on the Polygon network to purchase a LAND in their account.

We will be running two raffles per wave. One for users that want to purchase a regular LANDs and one for those that want to purchase a premium LAND.

Both raffles will be run in the same manner for each wave, with the Premium raffle going first for Premium LANDs closer to IPs, and the regular raffle going afterward.

Yes, you can register for both raffles in a wave!

Randomized location

Upon purchase, the LANDs included in each wave will be distributed randomly among the pool of buyers that won the raffle. Regular raffle winners receive the opportunity to buy a Regular LAND and Premium winners receive the opportunity to buy a Premium LAND.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion. During the earnings call, Apple guided fourth-fiscal-quarter revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, overall below the 12.1% analysts had expected. CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
