2. Fantasy Top in 60 Seconds
| Core Element | What It Means in-Game | Why It Matters for You |
|---|---|---|
| Heroes | Influencers tokenized as digital cards | Free curation of 200+ crypto KOLs you may not follow yet |
| Rarities | Common → Legendary multipliers | Lets small bankrolls compete with whales via strategy |
| Fantasy Points | Engagement metrics (tweets, likes, views, etc.) | Real-time mirror of Crypto-Twitter sentiment |
| Leagues | Four weekly star-capped contests | Accessible entry points for casual players |
Quick Win: Even if you never buy a card, scrape the public Heroes list as a living watch-list for new research sources.
3. Where AI Comes In
- Data Collection – Pull tweet text + engagement via the X API, then add card metadata from Fantasy Sheets.
- AI Tagging – Send tweets through GPT-4o Projects to classify Topic, Sentiment, and Meme vs. Analysis.
- Edge Extraction – Rank Heroes by Engagement-per-Original-Tweet (ignore retweets) to spot undervalued cards.
Cost Check
9k OpenAI requests • 42 M tokens • ≈ $6.80 → cheaper than minting one NFT on a busy day.
