Top 5 NEAR Ukraine Guild Competitors & Alternatives

Who we are 1-UP is a blockchain game and metaverse project created by KA Labs. We’re attacking the PC and mobile eSports crowd with a 2D platform battling game and metaverse with built-in custom content creation tools. We believe gaming is what will ignite mass adoption of Web3 technology. Legacy companies like Atari, GameStop, EA Sports, and Ubisoft are entering the blockchain gaming market. At the same time, high level employees and creative directors from AAA studios are starting their own companies looking to leverage NFT technology and blockchain compatibility into new projects. This is a market poised to erupt. Our core team is comprised of 10 members and 2 advisors spread across the globe that came together in 2020 with the idea of creating a game we would all want to play ourselves. The decision to include blockchain integration came from recognizing a burgeoning market that would allow true asset ownership for gamers and a mechanism for an independent studio to compete with the major players in the gaming market. We are small, but battle tested. Our two tech leads have a combined 12 years of experience in the game dev and Web3 space and our product manager previously managed a mobile game with 10 million downloads. So far we have raised roughly $200k from our token presale and another $225k from pre-seed investments. We are next looking for a seed raise of $1.75m to support marketing and user adoption, 15 months of product development, and team salaries and expansion. This would include setting up a unified studio in Vietnam to put our team under one roof. Our MVP game build will go to mainnet early Q4 2022 closely followed by our NFT mints. About our game The 1-UP platform allows users to deposit the 1-UP (ERC-20) tokens to enter tournaments and earn rewards. The available games are based on classic retro style platformers like Mario, Metroid, and Contra that gamers know and love. Players battle against each other in Team DeathMatch, and Battle Royale style competitions for a chance at a piece of the reward pool. Those rewards can then later be withdrawn into 1-UP to be traded on the blockchain. Players will use NFT characters with unique traits integrated into the game with different profiles, clothing, armor, and weapons. The first season features popular internet and web3 figures seen in memes shared across Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. Our flagship creation is the custom character builder, which will allow you to create the perfect look for your in-game avatar and also allows for the upload of your own artwork to create a character to play in 1-UP World. Eventually users will be able to mint these characters as NFTs to list for sale on the open market. A player will enter the game through the 1-UP metaverse and explore for treasures, meet other players to chat or battle, ride in cars, tanks, and helicopters, and also choose their preferred game type. The initial launch will feature two world themes on our custom game engine: Retro World and Meme Arena. Retro World will feature simple 8-bit pixel platforms and art that are more familiar to fans of the side-scroller platformers from the NES and SNES era. Meme Arena is where your anime-style 2D NFTs and custom art can be integrated into a similar platform-style battler. Both styles allow for all match types where the winners leave with the largest share of rewards. Creative-minded users who may not want to play for rewards can also use the drag-and-drop level builder to create a custom level-design NFT and earn revenue from its use in 1-UP World. A game marketplace will allow purchase of game packs, weapons, vehicles, time boosters (to repair damaged armor and weapons), as well as loot box keys and a character rental system. 1-UP token holders are incentivized to lock their tokens into the game as virtual 1-UP where they can receive a portion of the reward pool based on their holding percentage and have a chance at periodic airdrops of NFTs, weapons, tokens, and more. Later updates will continue to expand on the game play, solo campaigns, levels, character skins, and allow for more communities to integrate their NFTs. Plus we have plans for guild creation and more robust advertising inside the game to provide additional revenue to support development.

Swagger DAO, push the boundaries within fashion and blockchain technology building projects and teams creating the best fashion products in the blockchain space. The main goal of strengthening the community through swag, culture and fashion. As the first project in Swagger DAO, we’ve have been working on some updates for the NEAR Swag and the store. The main object of NEAR SWAG 2.0 is to create the best print-on-demand apparel and merchandise collection and store set-up in the crypto space for the NEAR Community. Over-all, the aim of this update is to: Explore and push the boundaries of crypto swag fashion and commerce from a both product, marketing and technical integration aspect. That said working within the limits of the dogma of maximum automatization using print-on-demand production. Present quality sourced goods manufactured and handled logistically in the most environmental and cost efficient way with the best NEAR SWAG product ever. Develop processes for NEAR Swag to autogenerate, develop and create graphics and products in co-creation through various communities, projects and guilds within the great community of NEAR. In order to make some nice products, we have to: Source quality products with an automatized supply chain. NEAR is not a clothing company with actual stock of goods. We will crunch those challenges by choosing solutions that create automatization which means: The production supply chain link is automatized via Printful’s print-on-demand services offering low cost production locally in their production network upon order confirmation. All clothing products will have a NEAR logo printed on the inner back for a full NEAR SWAG product experience and not a branded Fruit Of The Loom t-shirt with logo printed on front as it is today. Then, by connecting these services and solutions, NEAR SWAG becomes a swag brand that runs with a fully decentralized and automatized design-, marketing-, production-, commerce-, payment- and logistic operational set-up. To do this we would like to : Use the metrics of fashion commerce, PR and brand building to increase anticipation, excitement and hype of new NEAR SWAG product releases. Make products that both employees, developers, contributors, guild members and fans of NEAR etc. are dying to show off everywhere they go, because it’s a nice product that represents a project they truly believe in. Furthermore present a product that appeals to non-crypto natives and in the end also serve as a NEAR on-boarding touch point and case study on how to tap into different creative business genres. Encourage the community to participate whether it’s setting up bounties, events and collabs etc. within NEAR guilds, communities and dApps in the design and graphic development process to accumulate content and material for a full circle NEAR community brand journey. A few facts about the store and upcoming initiatives: New store design - build on dShop on Origin protocol: The store is built on the world’s first decentralized e-commerce platform, blockchain-powered project Origin Protocol on their dShop solution which offers integration with decentralized printing company Printful. Pay with $NEAR, other cryptocurrencies or credit card: Payment with NEAR token is already possible as well as Moonpay for other cryptocurrency payments such as ETH and DAI. Payment through Stripe integration for credit card payment with VISA or Mastercard is also possible. NFT minted for each NEAR SWAG product: Each product from NEAR SWAG will have an NFT minted presumably via Mintbase which the buyer receives to their NEAR address upon claiming it after order confirmation in the store. This integration will be added in 4-6 weeks from now. That means that this will be the last NEAR SWAG products without NFT. What an archive piece in 20 years!
