Proposal Title

Final Trade: Advancing Species Conservation Through Memecoin Battles with Honeyswap Liquidity

Proposal Information

Final Trade: The Last of Their Kind is an innovative game that combines degenerative speculative trading mechanics with regenerative biodiversity conservation :yin_yang:

Featuring a market-driven battle between two genetically jacked, red-listed species, this multiplayer game maps market movements to Mortal Kombat-esque fighter moves - bringing new meaning to “trade war.” Gameplay mechanics map player health and move strengths to classic market markers like price, market cap, and volume — encouraging unique factions to form and influence character outcomes. A small buy/sell fee is collected from all trades, and funneled to organizations doing the work of endangered species conservation.
