Own The Doge, the community-driven NFT project centered around the iconic Doge meme, has announced a "Provenance Poker Tournament" set to take place on Sunday, July 13, at 6:30 PM UTC / 2:30 PM EDT. The online poker showdown, featuring over $700 in prizes, will be hosted on the Web3 social gaming platform PlaySOPO.
The tournament is positioned as a "Dogely poker showdown," inviting participants from the broader crypto and NFT communities. Notable figures and projects expected to join include Wassie, Neiro, and Officialcocoro, indicating a cross-community engagement within the Web3 space. The event aims to foster community interaction and provide entertainment for Doge enthusiasts.
Own The Doge is known for its fractionalized "The Doge NFT" into the $DOG token, allowing collective ownership and participation in its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The project's mission, "Doing Only Good Everyday" (D.O.G.E.), often involves community-focused initiatives and charitable endeavors, making this tournament a social engagement point.
PlaySOPO serves as the host platform, a social poker application that integrates Web3 elements, allowing users to play popular poker variants like Texas Hold'em and Omaha. The platform supports crypto payments and offers play-to-earn mechanics, aligning with the growing trend of blockchain-based gaming. Its focus on community and competitive play makes it a suitable venue for such a tournament.
The inclusion of Wassie, a prominent NFT collection and memecoin, along with crypto personalities Neiro and Officialcocoro, highlights the collaborative nature of the Web3 ecosystem. These collaborations often aim to expand reach, engage diverse audiences, and demonstrate the utility and social aspects of digital assets and blockchain communities beyond mere speculation.
Participants are encouraged to register via a provided link and join Own The Doge's X (formerly Twitter) community, Telegram, and Discord channels to be eligible for prizes. This strategy aims to strengthen community ties and drive engagement across multiple social platforms, reinforcing the project's active and interconnected user base.
