me get a sip here of the coffee and then we'll launch right into it thank you everybody for joining
okay cool all right so good evening good morning and good afternoon wax community welcome back
to another exciting wax space on x i'm tommy from wax and today we have a real special treat for gamers
and play to earn enthusiasts um who are out there so we are being joined today by polyverse um it is a
groundbreaking uh new product in develop it's being entering the wax blockchain so polyverse is a bit
more than just a game it's kind of like a whole ecosystem designed to revolutionize web3 gaming
they're building an mmorpg um starting it out with a pve playerverse environment browser game on unity
and that's all being powered on wax so they're here today to share all the exciting details with us
so without further ado let's welcome enrico from polyverse enrico thank you for joining us today
hey tommy thank you for having me thank you for having us it's it's honestly an honor to be in
this space and uh lovely to see some friendly faces in the audience man it's an absolute honor to be
here hey it's really a pleasure um for those who don't know um enrico um enrico lung then is the
co-founder of polyverse um he definitely describes himself as an avid gamer a passionate early adopter
and a blockchain enthusiast so there you have it folks um saying hey to everybody in the group
below go ahead and retweet the space so we can let everyone know that we got off to the start and
we'll go from there so i think um if you've ever been one of these spaces before you kind of know
how it goes what's up derek good to see you wax wolves um so let's get started i will pause about
halfway through um and invite our listeners below to join us up on stage they may have their own
questions about polyverse they want to ask enrico so if you are interested um around that time we open
it up please raise your hand and if you're shy that's okay you can drop a question in the as a
reply to the space um i've got my my uh tommy account up here trying to see that uh we get them
all ready to go hold hold that hold that phone ken i know you're you're excited up here we'll be
bringing you up a little bit later in space so stick around so but let's get right into this um enrico
let's start with the big picture what inspired you know the creation and inception of the polyverse and
what is kind of like your ultimate vision for the project well this is a big question to start with
and i think it's important to cover it immediately um the big vision to me there is one big vision
which is being able to kind of play a part into moving forward let's say um the world of of gaming
to something that we could maybe uh intend as the gaming 3.0 which is um integrating correctly
um the blockchain technology nft technology and anything that's um that's that's we are calling
right now web 3.0 into an industry into an environment that um is probably to me uh the
most valuable form of entertainment that mankind has ever created but apart from that kind of
philosophical personal view um i've always been an avid gamer and um along my path i've had the
pleasure to meet and become good friends with vittorio conti the former senior environment director
at rockstar games for gta5 and reddit redemption tube and since then i've kind of always wanted to
release a game or being part of the team uh that is releasing a game then thanks to the knowledge
and the blocks and expertise of federico and the ultimate taco we decided that even though we kind
of missed the first nft and gaming bull run uh of 2021 we were going to try and leave a mark in the
web 3 gaming one you know um that's that's my personal uh truth in in both uh philosophical and
more uh related to polyverse uh style but if i'd have to go with a more kind of corporate way i would
say that that um polyverse was inspired by you know the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize
gaming uh our vision is to create an immersive mmorpg that isn't just a game uh but a platform or has
uh a protocol the technological capabilities um a platform of players can interact with multiple
blockchain assets seamlessly enhancing their gaming experience while also contributing to the broader
web 3 ecosystem that's that's my short rant to start off the space
well that's a definitely a good way to start and get into it shout out to uh the team at taco for
sure definitely one of the uh the pillars in our community always um on the forefront of cool and
exciting stuff so glad that you kind of hooked up with them as well um so you kind of mentioned
we talked about a little bit earlier it's not just a game it's kind of like a framework um what kind of
unique features or innovation of innovations you kind of bringing um into the space like i think um the
first one that kind of caught my eye was a multi-chain wallet login right that's something um that i think
a lot of uh collectors and owners want to have something to be able to use one wallet all over the
place or be able to play their game from whatever wallet they choose how what chains and what wallets
are supported for polyverse okay let's say that that's something that we are uh we have under development
for the version three of the game um so that regardless of the type of nft you have right now
we are minting and releasing the initial collection on a chain that's not wax we're releasing it on on
nft while everything else is powered uh by wax within the game but you will have the ability to
either log in with your ethereum based wallet or your wax based wallet uh for import and export of
um well for import of the assets for ethereum for exports of the assets for wax uh and in some cases
for some features that we think we could be groundbreaking or at least that's the way we see it
you will be able to do it straight with uh your wax wallet or just with the email that is
one of the features you guys are making super easy to use um when you are talking about um
the technological framework uh what we've seen kind of missing is a lot of uh projects wanting to tap
into the web3 gaming world uh while relying on um on a technology that wouldn't really make possible to
um get as many users that they'd like as they'd like or they'd love to or to make it reach critical mass
um wax makes it possible i mean it's it's possible to um make the game full back end running on chain
with the thanks to the fee systems you guys have thanks to the technological tools there are thanks
to the way you're able to change edit and manage the trades or some specific characteristics of um the
in-game assets and the blockchain based assets uh you're able to build within your with your technology
um but we also have to take into account that there are a lot of communities a lot of projects
that are also have also started to build and are already at a good point in terms of community
it or um on other chains so what we wanted to do and to prove is that it is possible uh to create
something on a chain like ethereum uh an nft community anything you want go through a very specific
um let's say contract to make things uh easier uh and then make sure that that nft that exists on
ethereum blockchain actually is directly connected to something that exists within the wax blockchain
and that actually empowers and fuels the old game so to us that is once one of the technological
aspects of our framework that um could drive adoption forward for blockchain technology within gaming
because um in in some cases there are some usually people try just to stack some dynamics like nfts
or a token within a game that could be running on playfab and that's it so it could be just a regular game
uh while if we change playfab with wax with the right uh additions to it uh we are actually able to
make any uh collection start and stake their nft on whatever chain they want and play an actually
fully unchained game uh by connecting to wax maybe derailed a little bit the answer but i i hope it was
kind of comprehensive no you didn't really get derailed um you uh answered my next question i was
going to ask him like what is a wax or why do you kind of like come into wax for that um and you
totally answered it so with that um question my next one is definitely going to be about the
backstory um i've been kind of like reading like little tidbits even putting on twitter i've been
reading some of the lore that's in the discord um right now your website's got a big message
encouraging everyone get to the shelter um i just finished binging um the release of the fallout tv show
so i am all about shelter right now um and so can you tell us a little bit more of the backstory why do
people need to get to the shelter i see everybody and telling warning everybody enter the shelter
enter the shelter as comments on this tweet great job guys why do we need to get to the shelter enrico
well that's that's a great question first of all i i i it was super funny to me and the team when we
you know we are in the middle of releasing quite a few things so we are the the dev team is crunching
the marketing team is crunching so we don't really have time to to check the news or anything of
the sort so this weekend when we when i when i opened uh prime and i saw fallout i'm like man this is
this is good you know i love the game first of all but then it kind of puts gamers i hope some sort of
our community as well into that kind of mood and um the reason why we were trying to say enter the
shelter and hopefully we won't release like uh i mean like bethesda but this was just a
uh you're saying in our own team apologies for that but anyhow um uh the reason why we are saying
all of this is because we don't just believe within of the game having an experience only in game we
believe that it's important that as a project as a game you have your community uh kind of dive into
the lore anywhere uh they might have a contact with you so you know our twitter is not you know
the regular launch nft launch twitter we're not trying to just hype up things and announcement
things like that but try to uh share content lore um make have make sure people are in the mood and
understand what we stand for with the post-apocalyptic vibe the same goes with the website so we try to
think what would i find in a post-apocalyptic shelter and the one thing that of course was
also taken out of fallout but we didn't know it was gonna release at the same time um was the old
tvs and so we made the website look like you are browsing an old tv in the settings and that's one
thing you might find within this nuclear shelter and the same goes for our discord community but what
what is the shelter basically the old story revolves around the fact that the aliens came back
to earth and i'm saying came back um for a certain reason you know and uh it wasn't a friendly
encounter humans uh decided to build cyborgs to fight off the aliens cyborgs powered by ai
decided to take over everything even the command was to save earth so they found that not only the
aliens could have been um endangering the planet and a nuclear warful um broke out there were only
five races that are actually left so the aliens some aliens that are remaining cyborgs humans mutants
which are humans that mutated and apes which are the only animal that survived um similarly to what
basically happened in fallout radiations level went up uh world was destroyed there was no sun
or at least of course the sun was there but you couldn't there was no light um so people took
shelter within those nuclear shelters around and therefore they are alone within this shelter which
is also the name of the v1 of the game which has a pve as you said browser-based game built on unity
in which you are your own character alone um in this nuclear shelter which has some bots robots
around that are kind of helping you and there is a breach in a specific portion of this uh of this
shelter that you have to keep secure so there is the wave fighting element on which enemies are coming
uh are coming from outside so these mutated animals mutated aliens mutated sort of enemies in which you
have to keep fighting and fighting to keep your shelter secure um the robots are helping you by bringing
some resources from outside and with this mechanic you're able to build new weapons armory objects
and so on so forth in order to get better better better uh equipment in order to fight more waves and
there we are the reason so why you should enter the shelter it's basically for uh lower purposes
community purposes and basically because anywhere where we are saying it's called the shelter within our
ecosystem so it's the twitter community the discord server and our website um if you're in uh you're
entitled to a portion of the fantastic airdrop that will be happening that's a hell of an event
it's uh you've got aliens check you've got war check you've got ai check it sounds like my twitter feed
everybody warning about what's coming around the corner um this is really kind of exciting um and
kind of and seeing and i've and you said the aliens come back and i'm like oh well i'm
already i'm already getting so excuse me that's i'm already getting real kind of like i'm getting
goosebumps thinking about it right you mentioned uh five races i know i read um there's five races
there's five factions there's five clans so i'm wondering kind of how how does this all come um together
do you get to pick your races you get to pick your teams before you sign up how are you making sure
that everyone doesn't just like glom on to the mutant side or something like that or everyone tries
to ape in and join the ape uh the ape race okay that's uh something that we wanted to leverage uh
for the nft rarity so basically initially uh especially in alpha testing and beta testing phase
of the game before the public release people will be able to sign in only with the nft either they
minted or a bottom secondary one of the traits of the nfts is the actual race um so you're able to play
only with uh with the race of the nfts you state uh whether it is one or five you will be able to decide
which nft you want to use uh because that nft uh maybe we'll touch on this later but um
the difference is basically within the shelter there is one room that's different for each race
um so basically where you spawn okay so your your sleeping quarter is different for humans for cyborgs
and so on so forth um and then you have character stats that are different uh among different races
so you might want to play uh the alien if you want to have a more like ranged fighting uh experience you
want to be a tank then you're probably going to get the ape you want to be uh more you want to be
quicker you might want to get the cyborg so those are the playing styles uh if you want to ape into the
the the mutants um then in that case you know it depends on how many get generated through the mint
could be i don't know uh 600 could be 54 it could be whatever it is you know random numbers
into the the contract generation and um that's that's basically it if it happens that luckily i
don't know uh the the strongest or the meta hopefully some someone would say what's the matter
uh of our game which which i would love to you know uh the meta uh character to play it's the race
which has the fewest uh fewer amount of nfts available at that point that would play a great
supply and demand dynamic on the floor price which we hope to see happening um but to answer a question
that might be coming to answer a question that people might have right now just to to be uh out
of the curb so to say we don't want to limit the players to the amount of nft holders so there will
be a way for people to actually play by staking our token in which you will get a randomly generated
um character if you do not like that specific character you will have to unlock the token lock
them again hoping for a better chance to have a better character um so you will be able to
experience different um different play styles and different game modes
that sounds exciting um i'll come back to the lock um the lock token for the new characters
thanks a little bit i've got a question about a little bit later um
um what about the um so i think you kind of touched a little bit on the gameplay experience
different races kind of lend themselves to different gameplay different meta um
what about like what about what is going to set kind of polyverse apart um from other games do you
envision the gameplay to be um like timing based kind of like a world warcraft or is it more reflex based
well the mmorpg version of it which is uh planned to come out we are planning for for it to be done
by the end of 2025 beginning of 2026 um war of works is something of course that when you talk about mmorpg
uh i've i've spent quite a bit of hours on it so we would love it to be uh in the same style there
are some peculiarities of it given that it's uh browser based so there needs to be some kind of
balancing and some features that we cannot include properly uh due to some technical
limitations um but at that point it's more time based initially in the shelter it's more reflex
based even you are basically fighting uh waves of enemies in their classical like survival um
um wave survival fighting fighting style you know um like zombies and call of duty or something uh
yeah i i i'd like to say more like vampire survivors because i love the game and uh but yeah but generally
that's um that's that's the concept initially yes i am a huge fan of vampire survivors that's really
exciting okay so you got my attention um what about player level i know you mentioned um you can have
multiple characters but is the level tied to your wallet is it tied to your stats how do players level up
that's the question i love so basically what happens i'll kind of make it um the simplest way
possible so you have an you have your nft you stake it once you stake that nft um you trigger an action
within the contract that assigns a specific uh wax wallet to that nft not to the wall that the stake
the nft but to the actual nft okay um that wax wallet will always contain um the gaming history
linked to that nft so if you level it from level one to 50 okay and then the owner of the nft
unstakes the nft lists it for sale and someone else buys it when they stake it they will still be at
level 50 okay and have the whole gaming history linked specifically to the nft uh the idea behind
it was to kind of replicate the concept of the old ps1 memory card which um i i to me i i usually
usually went to play with with friends and we always play the same game so when you were going to sleep
over you were bringing your memory card so that you could play at your level you could help them
advance on theirs or or or or vice versa so that's the the general idea this uh adds another layer to
an aspect that i said earlier so if you're staking the nf the nft it is kind of as easy to understand
if you're locking the token we have some sort of a problem because in the moment i lock the tokens
i can simply unlock the tokens transfer tokens to someone and they get the same actual account so
what happens is you lock the tokens uh those tokens still that action still gets linked to a specific
wax wallet and a character gets created that character is an nft on the wax blockchain once if
you want to have that nft on the ethereum blockchain so that you can exchange it like any other um
uh ethereum nft linked to the actual game you could then kind of have to let's say burn it's not the
dynamic the mechanics is not that of a burn but you're basically burning those tokens you locked and
in return you're redeeming that character um as an nft that you can mint on the ethereum chain so you can
try and lock and unlock lock and unlock until you get kind of the character you want okay and by doing that
you're linking different wallets or you're locking for one day and then unlocking the next day and
until you actually create a character you you kind of like and this is taken out of a dynamic that i i
kind of thought or we all thought but it's taken out of um another experience in game which i loved which
was to me one of the best games i've ever played was boulders gate 2 shadow of m and um i've done quite
a few runs and every time the first i'd say the first hour and a half to two and a half hours in
the beginning was re-rolling the stats so that you could actually start with a good character and uh
i've kind of thought well this is something that if you're doing an rpg and mmorpg or any kind of game
like that you need to have how do we put it in a way that makes sense for nfts blockchain technology and so
and so forth and that's what we came out came up with i have spent many many many hours re-rolling
stats to randomly get good dnd tech players um that was really great that you said that that's
i think the idea of really kind of like just re-rolling your character do you get something
that you really like um it makes you um it ties you to the character even before you get off to the
journeys you know we spend two hours making something a pawn for dragon's dogma and then
you know you don't you put a helmet on you'll see him again so like i definitely think that the way
that you are kind of looking at the initiation the character creation aspect almost is is really cool
now i've got folks i've got a handful of questions left so i'm gonna start inviting listeners on stage if
you've got a question about polyverse to like to ask enrico please go ahead and request permission to
speak um i'll be bringing everybody up um at the end of the next question uh lexus i see you will
bring you up in just a second um so enrico so the last kind of part um of this like section i wanted
to ask um free to play gameplay or will new players need to pick up a starter bundle or something similar
how can like how is it and you get started
i think my connection run for a sec so if you could repeat the question oh yeah
yeah so um with this with this game is that are we going to see just free to play gameplay
or do as a new player do they need to pick up a starter bundle like do they have to have the nft
know you mentioned the nfts do they have to have the nft to get started um how can they get how can
they begin absolutely so there are going initially they are going to there is going to be one game
mode to to start uh until we kind of balance everything out and we do all the proper things that the
game should do in the first one to three months of launch which is basically um getting the feedback
from the avid kind of collector's edition um players that are playing the game which is the
way we're treating our nfts so we see the nfts as the collector's edition of the game or premium
edition of the game and therefore access initially will be only for nft holders then we will expand
access to our token holders so they are able to lock the token and create other nfts keep in mind if you do
if you keep playing with the same character and at a certain point you say okay i'm done with the
game i finished it i'm good i leave you can just unlock the tokens and you won't spend any of them
okay it's they are still kind of yours okay um then we are adding a free to play mode which is a kind
of 30 days trial with your email uh which gets linked to a specific wax wallet as well um and at that
point if you have the free to play version after 30 days you can decide to redeem the account in
order to do that either you stake an nft or you lock the tokens um which maybe in that month you
were great the best player there you won all the leaderboards you won the tournaments and you get
you got tokens as rewards and then you use the tokens you actually got to actually keep playing or
locking your your account those are the three ways and three game modes we have envisioned uh initially
perfect um i like the 30 day trial um i think that's a good way to for 30 days is a good amount
of time to figure out if something is going to really click um if you want to keep going or if
it's uh something you want to come back to later all right we have our first uh guest from the audience
uh lexus welcome to the stage you have a question for enrico please go ahead yes sir do you hear me
yeah we hear you all right great first of all i want to say it's really a nice project i really
love it i watch you guys since you had like two or three k followers and i love how you onboard people
with storytelling and all those things and in every new uh space i'm in there are some slight details which
i added i really like that and my question was really because like the most of people are in
web 2 games we have to know that and if we want that mass adoption from web 2 to web 3 we have to
bring a lot of new people in and i wanted to ask how are you going to onboard people from web 2
to web 3 have you already got some organizations or some esports teams which you are plugging into polyverse
that's a great question and i'll start with with saying one thing that is not just for us but for
for everyone and we always have to keep it in mind that we are building a product we are building a game
so regardless of the strategies you might want to try to follow or the gimmicks that you might want to
play and so on so forth you need to have a good product you need to have a good game there is no
marketing strategy that is going to um you know take over the fact that the game is not good so first
of all we are focusing on releasing something that's good um something that people can enjoy and can
understand that it's the version one of something that has been envisioned to be kind of completed version
three um then second of all i had the the pleasure and the luck to work with quite big uh eu uh twitch
streamers and um throughout our marketing campaign after tg after september um we are already planning and
envisioning um campaigns with actual players from web 2 games we don't really want to be advertising our
game to the let's say the world outside crypto twitter as a web 3 game we'd much rather go with um
with with the browser game you know just game um and following some dynamics which means
we have to understand that people right now like the dynamics of a season pass they like the dynamics of
tournaments they like the fact that they can play and compete against streamers or against content
creators so we have to make sure that uh all of these comes into play and there is another thing
that we thought of for mass adoption which is no one wants to uh or at least that's my opinion no one
wants to download and install 60 gigabytes of a beta game just to understand they don't like it because
once they uninstall it unless you're cyberpunk or your city project red they are not going to install it
again okay and second thing is if you're building something that full specs is on unreal 5 and it
looks amazing i mean i love it i mean i could watch the videos the cgi all day long the fact is that
more than 34 percent of the world won't really be able to enjoy the game because the specs the
computer needs to have uh the pieces are not priced the same all around the world um and therefore you're
limiting the adoption rate for places that are actually leaving off of gaming so like i mean
you're you're cutting off some places in latom you're cutting off some places in south eastern asia
and that's the reason or one of the reasons why we want to make sure the game works on browser on
windows on mac on tablet on iphone on android whatever you're using and even though it's a browser bay
it's a browser game uh we can count on a team like the team at taco and and victorio that have
already thought about let's make sure that they all have the same smooth experience and even if you have
an older phone the graphics will go down you'll go will adapt so that you can have still a great
experience so um this is my my my final answer it's good lexus and i've seen you around everywhere all
the spaces so love your support man all right thank you very much it was a awesome answer thank you
thanks lexus all right remember if you've got a question go ahead and raise your hand um we'll be
bringing folks up throughout the remainder of the space um enrico let me talk about the nfts for a
second these are going to be a central role um in the polyverse now um i believe that you mentioned um
that the the the nfts will reside or they'll live on the wax blockchain is that correct
yes so let's say the in-game nfts do the pfp so to say so that the memory card pfp nfts
are minted on ethereum
got it and then what benefits does a player get if they have they're actually holding nfts
versus um someone who's just on their free to play trial what do they get um for having nfts in their
wallet okay so in that case the nfts have some specific traits that on well the the minted nfts
have more traits than the free to play um than the free to play characters okay so and traits mean
different kind of action that they can do different kind of bonuses and so on so forth on top of that if
you're using a genesis collection nft you have a multiplier on some aspects if you're using a
first generation nft you have multipliers on different aspects or lower multipliers if you're
using a survivor nft which is basically the free-to-play character um you have the basic
multiplier so we are going at a tiered system so everyone starts off with the same basic features
you just have the premium version and the collector's version we get better bonuses and get
more bang for the buck
and i think you probably already answered this but um is there any other kind of like perks or functions
utility um tied to the nfts i know you mentioned love them up um and kind of they have kind of like
mutable attributes that can be passed from one player to another is there any other
um functions of the nfts that are going to be living within polyverse
not at the moment especially for the characters um one thing that we love about wax is that we can
always add on top of it kind of later we can build on top of uh the actual nft um as long as we link it
the proper way which is which we've done and um but no for for now there are no other features that
you are thinking to add uh on top of this if you have any suggestion tommy though i would love to hear
if i come up with something i'll definitely whisper it in your ear but i don't want to influence anybody
too much of my ideas um i think you kind of mentioned you touched on this a little bit um when you're
answering uh lexus's question um about onboarding um so polyverse is something that's not it's not
gonna be like hey here's this is something fun and then next year it's gone it's something that's
aiming to provide an exciting experience and gameplay for years so this i come on to kind of
pick your brain what can players expect from polyverse as the game evolves you want to maybe start
first with the road map like where are we with like kind of the idea of the version one and where
will we end up with the version three i know we've kind of touched on it a little bit more
we could you could provide a little bit more thanks absolutely so in in july we have we are
expecting to release the alpha version of v1 um august beta version and then in september the full
version december uh alpha version alpha yeah version of the version two january beta and then february
release and repeat that for version three in december 2025 version one to us is getting
sure and making sure that everyone can enjoy uh the pve versions of fighting against your enemies
feeling a lonely kind of within the shelter while competing against other people through a leaderboard
system version two to us adds the pvp aspect so now you can you're able to compete uh against
other people directly not simply through the leaderboard system not simply by checking how many enemies
you've killed but by fighting against them um in kind of all out one-on-one sort of like wagering style
and i think it's a great dynamic version three you are finally released from the shelter
earth is kind of livable again and you are going out by going out it means that you right now would
have to uh form alliances find the right spots where you want to set camp build your base camp understand
where the resources are see if you can get them if you can get there build a secondary camp uh understand
where is the core point within the map which usually is going to be the central point in which you are
going to fight for the core resource which is the reason why aliens came back to earth this is something
that we've never said uh i i believe but that's that's the dynamic we want to have there is another
thing that we want to add on on our mmorpg which is the dynamic of the server wipe um which is sort of
similar to a dynamic that the hell divers one had uh so that you are competing against these other
people in an mmorpg or in an open world but every 45 to 60 days everything goes back to zero so to say so
you are keeping your resources you are keeping your assets you are keeping everything but you have to
take shelter uh for a couple of days one day actually uh and then you start back again are you going to
do the same things you did before are you going to be faster to uh actually conquer a certain hot spot or
some sort uh who knows but that's the dynamic to kind of um that's the dream that's the vision that's where we
we want to get to um to make it engaging to not making repetitive and uh to add a fun twist to a
genre that has seen a lot of amazing groundbreaking games and maybe we were able to leave our mark on that
when you said um keeps your experience keeps your eyes keep your knowledge the first thing i thought of
was uh uh edge of tomorrow um the movie where the character plays the same day while he's fighting
the war over and over again and that i don't know everything you're telling me is getting me excited
what can i say i'm i'm it's it's sci-fi it's right up my alley this is really really cool
let me ask then um is there anything you want to kind of comment about um the way that the tokens
will work with polyverse or kind of comment on the uh the tokenomic scheme that you're um starting out or
you're um testing or experimenting with what do you want to say about that thanks um i think um
sometimes it takes kind of like like people kind of focus too much in my experience okay or at least
in my yeah in my you know uh they focus too much on on the token uh we are building but like the token
within the game it's the regular in-game token the utility itself the utility of code points for warzone
okay you are you can do some actions some actions cost uh currency if you're talking about uh fallout
for example you have caps and that's the same dynamic the same thing uh okay i don't know if
they are translated as caps in english but i believe they are um yeah okay so it's it's the same it's the
same dynamic of course even that it's a cryptocurrency there are some speculative aspects which we cannot
control but we can try to uh or at least that's what we did we can try to use that at our advantage so
if we know that something could have a speculative aspect to it and it is usually driven by supply and
demand dynamics either we build something that is a burning mechanism or we try to make a good
circular economy model and give people an incentive to lock up their tokens which is
in our case you want to get the token and lock it up to play once the token is locked okay within the
contract for you to play that token is not up for trading and therefore it diminishes the circulating
supply therefore giving us positive supply and demand dynamics and um diminishing the amount of tokens
that can be traded on the market and uh potentially theoretically driving the price up
um where we do not care about the volume on the market necessarily about the token what we care
about is the volume of transactions we have within the game with the token that is important for two
reasons because a portion of the transactions go back to us that we can use for marketing purposes for
running the company for paying the developers and so on so forth while another portion goes straight
back into the game into the leaderboard into the rewards and into the tournaments so the more people
are playing their multiple are advancing they are actually feeding into a pool that goes back to
the players divided uh depending on how much they play and how good they are at it okay another aspect is
that we wanted to make sure that people understand that we believe in the project okay so 29 of the supply
it's basically locked for eight years well not locked vested for eight years uh into the ecosystem rewards
ecosystem rewards are not rewards within the ecosystem of the project but actually within the game so for
eight years we are investing on a monthly basis a decent amount of tokens that will keep being distributed
regardless because they are they are locked in a smart contract with pge so we can guarantee that for
eight years people are going to be able to get the rewards by playing the actual game based on
um different aspects which i i won't go uh in depth on right now but um those basically are the amount
of hours you play um the enemies you kill your position in the leaderboard with respect to the other
players and your involvement in tournaments um so you have this 29 of the total supply going there plus uh
basically 40 percent of all other transactions done in a month will go and feed that pool for the
following month that's um that's what we thought and what we came up with in terms of the economics
and this is not necessarily talking about like me economically it has a lot more there are other other
locations we have to check an inflation curve we have we've done we've been investing a lot of time
into that as well just to make sure with everyone that it's safe and sound and it's focused for real
into um to the players well said um i think you've kind of given a strong um not argument um but
foundation for how you prepare or you're planning polyverse to have a long-term sustainability um is
there i know in uh crypto especially things change sometimes from week to week about like what's
interesting is there anything else that polyverse is um positioning itself so it can be um quick to
evolve it needs to if something changes is there anything else you want to maybe mention about um how
you're prepping polyverse for like that long time that long-term gameplay there is one thing that maybe
this is more interesting for kind of the investors type of of uh of listeners rather than the hardcore
gamers but there is one thing that um kind of opened my my eyes that just jeff bezos said which is
sometimes you need to focus i'm paraphrasing it i don't remember the quote exactly but i'll paraphrase
it basically he said people are trying to for sometimes to pay attention on what is not going to be here
in in 10 years time or what will be here in 10 years time that isn't right now but sometimes you
have to focus on what is here right now and will still be here in 10 years time and um that's something
that kind of um um is in line with the idea the company has for for polyverse the framework
technological framework that empowers polyverse making it as potentially a proof of concept okay
uh could be moved or bought licensed and leveraged okay to uh to empower other projects other dynamics
and um that's what we have in mind we think that or at least i personally think that regardless what we
all say 10 years from now games will be around games of being around forever when we are just changing
the medium in which we play them and the way we do um given we are going more into tech given we are
delving deeper into whatever it is ai ar xr vr whatever you want to say but we are talking about
games games need a community games need at this time digital assets and games need a good back-end run
um on um on and i believe that if everything goes the way we think it will um we will prove that this
is a technological protocol that could be used for even bigger games that's what we hope um it's always
nice to look forward in mna that's that's what i say yeah absolutely and then just a reminder to
anybody who's listening now or later this is not a not a financial advice pod or space so um just
remember to do your research um we're not providing advice um for financial movements here um community
let's talk about the community the replies on this twitter um on our space now are really high
everyone is entering the shelter i love to see it um so i want i wanted to ask this a little bit earlier
but i thought it would be more appropriate now how will players um in the community influence the
story and the lore of polyverse that is another aspect of the utility of the token so i i personally
strongly believe also philosophically about on the importance and the potential utility of daos okay
and i believe that on projects such as gaming projects or entertainment related projects in which
the community plays a good huge role okay uh they have uh to have a saying in some aspects of it uh so
we're talking about democratization of um of development in my in my opinion there are some aspects in
which the community can't uh speak on because i believe that if there is an expert um you have to take
uh his opinion okay uh we wouldn't or at least i don't think people would um just do a regular vote
to decide who's the heart surgeon that's gonna uh operate on their kit you know you actually rely on
the experts to do that but within the game uh if we're not talking about the technology we will be
using or some aspects of that the players should be able to decide what type of floor they like what type
of story they want to see the what type of storyline they want to see um develop uh which type of new
upgrades which you do first or later and especially um i believe that and this is something that i probably
this is something that i just um hmm i i always would have loved to i believe that a community would
love to be recognized for for what it is in in general and uh what i mean by that is that my idea
for guilds uh which has uh which will play a big role in the version three of the game uh leveraging the
nested dows or sub-dow technology um need to be included in what the game and the story actually is
why do i say this it's because we have a book that's coming out as well and the book series that's
coming up and i would love uh the book to reflect uh what really happened in the actual game so
when and if uh or more when than if um we will have big competitions among guilds and among uh players
on polyverse the mmorpg version i would love to see that reflected in something that will stay forever as
the book and uh i think that's the type of recognition and the gratification that um a
project a game can give their their users or at least i i like to think that for all the games that
i played if i ever was recognized with my character being part or the game name of my character being
part of anything they would ever put out that would have been my proudest moment ever yeah that would be
really really cool to have like your favorite character be mentioned in like official canonized
lore absolutely but you said a book series is these are these gonna be like a physical set of books
or this could be um like ebooks um am i are we too are we too early for me to be asking this question
no no no no you're not actually it's it's going to be physical uh and digital and uh event it's going
to be narrated as well so we are talking about paperback kindle and audible um the first book has
already been done uh we are just finalizing a couple of aspects in terms of uh the translations and um
when to to actually release it we know that it's gonna go out initially in three languages and uh it's
there is no publisher so it's self self-published um hopefully uh the community will support it uh
and uh we'll see what uh amazon will what good amazon will do for us in terms of self-publishing but
that's that's basically it that's really exciting um i think that's such a cool um treat to include
for the community it has something like that um so where is the best place um if someone's new
and they're listening they've just heard about polyverse right now um i know we had a couple
people in here like that where's the best place for these new and interested players to get involved
with the community okay so the best place right now is our uh discord server which is discord.gg
slash enter the shelter um the community has been amazing there we just opened it uh last week uh
we had a lot of people waiting for quite a long time but the community there and the support there
has been amazing there is a cool leveling system which i will invite you to check out uh so that you
have more uh also more time with with the team and with us we do answer questions basically all day
there um second would be the shelter twitter community which right now it's kind of silent
but there is a good reason for it and people will learn uh later on why and i recommend to kind of be
quick because it's not going to be open forever uh just a heads up and uh if you're more interested
into potentially being an alpha tester of the game then head on uh to the website and leave your email
alpha testing beta testing what are you looking for when it comes for what are you looking for from
the community members who are who are looking to be alpha and beta testers what kind of feedback
what kind of is there like a specific skill set you're looking for is it can anyone kind of sign
up to try out and help you test um that's that's a great question and a thing we need to clear for
everyone because if people are kind of aware of the qa process or the alpha testing beta testing process
it's fine some people are not so when you do qa or alpha testing of the game uh or whatever type of
uh of product you you're doing you have to keep in mind that there are some things that some bugs some
some aspects that the team already knows they are wrong they are just testing to kind of see how wrong
they are or they know they will fix it at a later stage because that would take too much resources and
there is a hierarchy in terms of bugs and features we need to fix and clear okay so we will be um
um not not everyone that leaves the email will be accessing the alpha testing everyone will be able
to will receive an email to apply uh we'll get a portion of people that are not familiar with that
process so that we can get a feedback good feedback from regular gamers then we will actually select
people that have shown some kind of experiences we'll kind of have a request kind of cvs from your gaming
experience and tech experience around and then of course a lot of alpha testers will be uh content
creators streamers and people that are familiar with with the gaming world and all the nft holders of
our genesis collection perfect all right um i know we're getting close to our time we got about 10 minutes
left remember if you've got a question raise your hand now um or forever hold your peace i did read
yesterday i wasn't sure if i read it on twitter or if i saw it in the discord that there's an upcoming
airdrop um what are you airdropping uh to the community and if people are interested what do they
need to do to participate or qualify perfect so yes we we have an airdrop that's that's we're starting our
airdrop campaign uh i'd like to make it clear that to us also the airdrop serves some sort of function
meaning it's not just a marketing stunt because if you are a widely solder if you are a member of
the twitter community discord community uh you've played you've done the play to airdrop campaign you
are an alpha tester or uh you're involved in post-launch activities um we don't want to simply reward
you monetarily with with the token but we want to give you the ability to actually play even if you do
not have an nft which is the lock to play uh dynamic and therefore that's one uh way we thought about
um the nft airdrop there is not going to be any weird uh spam our ticker or hashtag on twitter to to
farm it's more value based than actually engagement based um the details that we released so far are more
more into the discord part of it so there are four elements um or four pools of allocation uh for
allocation pools for the discord community uh the discord community overall is going to get 0.125
of the total supply divided among four pools pool number one is based on the roles people have within
the discord which are based on how much they actually engage pool number um pool number two is going
to be based on the engagement points so we have an engage bot within the discord and we ask you to
engage on our posts or other posts like even the dspace or the the the post that announced this space
uh if you do that uh and you basically show how much our community is active to us and to our other
projects and other people we'll reward you with a better allocation on it then you have the invite
leaderboard so spread the word make make your friends uh enter the shelter if you are inviting at least
five people uh then you are in for uh for um a piece of the pie and then of course we have creation
points creation points are arbitrarily given from by admins mods and council members to um contributions
that people have made which might be creating fan art creating means um asking great questions providing
great help creating content being helpful to the community and so on so forth so this is the way
you can take part into the airdrop it's not a mere set your timer every day retweet 10 times click
spam or do anything like that we are not it's not in line with what we stand for uh but we understand that
you are providing value to us and that's why i want to provide value back giving you a fair share
of our airdrop location well said um sounds like um quality content um creators can get in as well
and it's a good way to if you're excited and passionate it's a great way to share um fit your
creations um and help the community as well solid all right we've heard a ton about the game i know some
people might not be able to wait and they want to get started right now so if people want to get started
and they want to get whatever they need to get right now where can they do that how do they how
can they do that they want to pick up i think you said the p the pfp nft is that correct yes um
i can i can tell you two things okay i'll i'll drop some just two pieces of alpha here and those are
final days which of the pfp nft. Adam uh people should mark on their calendar which is may second and july
15th okay um make sure to be on twitter and especially in our discord okay um and don't miss it because
we've been working quite a lot in the past few months behind the scenes we've done uh stealth so to say
collaborations with over 100 communities on discord and spots are very limited and
as tommy said not financial advice do your own research but if i were you i really wouldn't want
to miss it awesome i appreciate that so may 2nd and july 13th uh two little little alpha leaks
for anybody who's listening here 15th um 15th 15th excuse me 15th the beware the ides of july all right
all right rico um i think that's i think that's everything i've got is there anything that maybe
i skipped or you wanted to maybe mention um that you just remembered right now um anything else you
want to share with our listeners before we close it out hey man i think we touched upon everything
it was one of the honestly uh one of the best spaces we've been in was a great conversation
we we touched upon every every point i think i disclosed more information than i've done
in all the other spaces combined i hope the community and the listeners like that and if
there are any other questions uh i'm fine to to answer them otherwise it's it's super good for me
all right awesome well this was really um an interesting exciting discussion um so enrico
