    DeFiato X Avalaunch: IDO Announcement

    The revolution that is automated market making has been driven by liquidity provision and the benefits given to liquidity providers (LPs) has been largely responsible for the ongoing evolution of cryptos as tradable assets. Much ado has been made about this progress and rightly so, but in assigning credit beyond the underlying technological advancements, one has to tip their hats to the “OG” farmers who first recognized the upside in incentivized liquidity pools. They have contributed greatly to the ecosystem while profiting in relatively siloed fashion. And, as more projects build on Avalanche and as DeFi evolves, more value gets locked on native protocols — thus unlocking additional opportunities for those who are early.

    The continued innovation of these protocols is a given and most recently, Platypus Finance made waves with their pooled liquidity and inventive tokenomics. It is yet another milestone and victory for Avalanche as well as cryptocurrencies on the whole which are still oft labeled as “experimental” at best, and pejoratively, as “vaporware.” Clearly, the blockchain is transcending its detractors, and, as decentralized finance attract more new users, the onboarding process must become far more intuitive and safe.

    The robust financial services and primitives once lorded over by centralized bankers are now available to early entrants into the cryptosphere but bonafide adoption remains the end game. The initiatives to normalize crypto that are genuinely attractive to the proverbial “nocoiner” remain few, as the path is unwieldy, costly and fraught with risk — both perceived and real. The route to DeFi is all but inaccessible to most. Here to do their part to facilitate adoption and bridge the path to DeFi is DeFiato, and Avalaunch is proud to announce them as our next IDO.


    Overview

    “DeFiato is the next-generation centralized platform for DeFi staking, yield farming and financial services. Our founding mission is to remove technical barriers and give mainstream users the same ability that experienced, large crypto players have to support their favorite blockchain projects, while earning rewards at the same time.”

    The problem to be solved here is readily apparent — there is friction and fragmentation when it comes to onboarding new users to DeFi and, once aboard, there is confusion. Consider:

    • On-chain farming/staking/trading presents technical barriers
    • Off-chain farming/staking/trading has issues with liquidity􏰁
    • Lack of User Support
    • Fiat access restriction for crypto
    • Lack of central multi-chain support for given crypto assets
    • Lack of institutional-grade custodians

    A picture that tells the story:

    The above image does not speak to the steps within the steps e.g. setting up an account at a given crypto exchange, KYC, waiting for funds, bank difficulties and it gets no easier for the new user in their quest to deploy that capital on a farm in the hopes of earning yield. Further compounding the difficulties, there are reporting and tracking difficulties…and on it goes. Even the most devout crypto user will admit that it is laborious, tedious and daunting, from start to finish. The fact that there is people’s hard earned money on the line makes the stakes far greater. There is massive room for improvement.


    The DeFiato Solution

    DeFiato is a Centralized Exchange Graded platform with highest possible security designed with on-chain DeFi support in mind.

    The idea is to not only remove the current hurdles new users face but allow them to essentially participate with a click of a button. Cross-chain no less. DeFiato feels poised to onboard the masses and some of what they are promising is sorely needed:

    • Intuitive FIAT on-ramping
    • Security of funds
    • Lightning speed settlement
    • Ease-of-use through a one-click approach
    • Customer service
    • On-chain liquidity through various pools across various chains
    • P2P transactions

    Prime Trust will be providing custodianship of assets and they are well known, working with Binance among other industry titans. DeFiato will be working with Plaid for a comprehensive KYC’d approach that creates a seamless interaction between DeFi and fiat. Plaid has worked with a variety of mobile payment and fintech platforms such as Venmo, American Express and Coinbase.


    Farming: The Final Frontier

    Having performed the heavy lifting, users will be able to experience the benefit of cross-chain farming opportunities at the click of a button. This is watershed, as many “normies” own some crypto but the notion of earning yield is a light years away proposition for them. It is essentially a reverse process of onboarding and the UI is intuitive. A person may hold a given crypto asset and be able to see the available farming opportunities laid out before them. From there, the process from “table to farm” is just another click away. There is no security compromise or execution risk on the user’s end as they carry out what is a cumbersome process.

    Closing Thoughts

    DeFiato, to a degree, has hidden in plain view. There has been considerable development to date and their open-beta testing attracted more than 80,000 users along with 15,000+ KYC’d. To offer institutional grade security with an easy onramp and farming for individual users is nothing short of a coup. Avalaunch has worked with the team for some time and appreciated the thoughtfulness of their process. They have contemplated every move and their long-term emission schedule is a strong signal that they believe their best days lie ahead and are in this for the long-term.

    ”Avalaunch is the absolute best gateway into the Avalanche ecosystem and community. Defiato is honored to work with the extremely supportive Avalaunch team on our path to global adoption.” Jeremy Khoo, Chief Investment Officer, DeFiato.

    Heroes of NFT AMA #2 — Technical Deep-Dive with Halil (CEO) & Deniz (Game Dev. Lead)(Recap)

    On 01/30/2022 at 12:00 p.m. (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest co-founder Halil (Chief Executive Officer), Heroes of NFT & Deniz (Game Dev. Lead). Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.


    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Hello and welcome everyone to AMA #2, due, the deuce, the sequel…Heroes of NFT was so good the first time around we decided to do it again. So Avalaunch community, sit back, relax, take a chill pill and get comfortable as today’s AMA is going to be a technical deep dive with Deniz. Deniz is a Co-founder of HON and a noteworthy game developer who was kind enough to share some of his time, experience and knowledge with all of us. Deniz, welcome Sir. Good to have you here.

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    Hello, I’m Deniz. I am a graduate of Computer Science and also did my Master degree at the same university and the same department.

    I focused on Virtual Reality back then..
    By the way, me and Halil graduated from the same university. Whole team tho 🙂

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    That’s great to hear. A shared vision and a long history. As you were saying about your background and how you got into all of this…

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    Yeah, hmm

    Imagining things and making them come true is one of my greatest sources of pleasure.

    I have been dealing with game engines for over a decade, using them not only to create fun games, but also for military simulations and Virtual reality applications for real fighter pilots.

    Also I made many serious games for disabled people to use in their treatment.

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    his master thesis is about AR and VR technologies, just a side note

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Very cool all the way around. We obviously have the best guests in the house with us today, and it would be a pity if I didn’t ask you to give us a high-level overview of Heroes NFT

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    In short

    Network of games,

    Where heroes can play various games and benefit from them
    Think of HoN as a metaverse that is designed to support various games in the avalanche ecosystem.

    We’re designing the infrastructure to allow the other projects to take their places in our metaverse.

    The card game is just a beginning and is going to be our admiral ship.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Well, here’s to maiden voyages.

    The team has an incredible amount of experience, not just the overall technical experience but also in blockchain and game development. But I assume that with the scale of this project, that even with decades worth of experience accumulated across the entire team, there would still be some bumps in the road that would need finessing. Would you mind telling us about some of the technical hurdles you had to overcome and how they were eventually tackled?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    As a team, we wanted to do different things

    there was no such game ecosystem in the avalanche network where people could play against each other instantly, we planned to do this in the best way possible.

    Our goal is to reach the same level of games such as Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra. Competing with companies like Riot Games.

    For this reason, we have developed an application infrastructure that is on the ground and we still continue to improve it .

    Of course, it is not an easy process. In order to make a difference, we need to do what has not been done in the best possible way. We are working very hard for this.
    Our community values and supports us very much as they witness these.

    To give an example about the technical bump, our HON token is created on the X-chain and then transferred to C-chain to be used in the smart contracts. We’ve done that. But there’s a caveat: no wallet is ready for the X-chain token transactions. We believe the new updates on Avalanche Wallet will allow our users to do low cost transactions with HON token.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Heroes of NFT is entering a market where both competition and demand is not falling short. What competitive advantage do you think Heroes of NFT has over other NFT and Metaverse projects?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    I believe we are the only project on Avalanche that has a collectible card game that can be played. Having an interactive game that you can play against your opponents as opposed to a browser-based idle game differentiates us from the many projects on the Avalanche network.
    Most of the game projects as you know don’t have their playable games yet.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Well done and I agree re: the playable aspects of the game are going to matter.

    I noticed that some of the game mechanics employed have their own unique approach. For instance, users and players will be able to create their own Metasphere and roam across the entire Metaverse encompassing these different layers, looking for ways to level up either through arena battles or tournaments. Let’s talk a little bit about what these game mechanics are and how they work to create this high-level engagement?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    First of all, I want to give a general idea about the game mechanics.

    We had three basic thoughts

    1-Playing a game should not exceed 5 minutes

    2-It should have a very simple and understandable structure so that new people will not be intimidated.

    3-On the one hand, it should be complex enough and open to future developments so that players will not get bored after playing for a while.

    I want to start by explaining the simplest mechanics of the game.

    It is a turn-by-turn card game
    The game starts with 10 cards
    3 battles are made and 3 hero cards are used in each battle.
    Whoever wins 2 of the 3 battles wins the game

    Community can follow the rest here : https://docs.heroesofnft.com/gameplay.

    Let me give some explanations about Metasphere

    Metasphere is an estate in HON world

    Metasphere is an estate in HON world. Where people are able to spend their time with their 3d avatars, make trades and duels, interact with other players etc.

    In their Metasphere people are able to create their own tournaments with their rules. For example, they can make the tournament only for 32 people , they can set entrée fee as X and the total price as Y and only rare cards are welcomed etc.

    Actually there is more to talk about Metasphere. I would like to meet with the community in the future if they want me to talk about more 👀

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    One distinguishing factor for Heroes of NFT is that while it is launching on Avalanche it is designed to be a cross-chain card-game and Metaverse. Can we get some insight about the infrastructure to enable this? What level is this infrastructure at, and when will it be fully compatible to support different blockchains, and what will those be?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    I believe If Defikintaro our blockchain developer and co founder was here he would explain better than me 🙂

    Designing the infrastructure we thought that loosely coupling the blockchain connections with our game is the best idea in case of adding the new blockchains.

    Currently we live in the Avalanche ecosystem and believe that the Avalanche subnets will connect the many blockchains. With having this vision we’ve developed the HON token as subnet ready. After the official activation of the subnets on Avalanche, we will have our own Heroes Subnet. We’ve already readied our validator nodes to enable that feature.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    This is awesome

    Speaking of this multi-chain infrastructure, there are two tokens at play, HON and HRM. Some people might be wondering why there is a dual-economy to power this single ecosystem. Can we help clarify the need for having these two economic structures, and how they tailor to different aspects of the gameplay ecosystem?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    The HON Token serves as a governance token and it is hard capped to 200m.

    We’ll distribute it via yield farming and NFT and HON token staking in addition to the sales round. it will be used in the marketplace by our gamers. Our land sales will also be conducted in HON Token.

    You can gain HRM token by winning games through game experiences or tournaments.
    HRM also can be spent in-game shops for in-game items. These in-game items can be used only once. The spent Digital Hrm then burns (sinks)

    Separating the limited token with the reward token HRM gives us a better control on the total inflation and deflation rate. As you know inflationary tokens are bad but it’s a lot harder to stop the deflation.
    Our tokenomics is prepared to give the most of the HON ownership to our community. To support our ecosystem’s growth we’re not making our economy a closed system. For that we’re proposing our metaverse and land usage. Land owners will be able to rent their lands as well as rent their heroes this will crush the entry barrier in our game.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    One interesting element that not many game projects have before planning a launch is an MVP or a playable version, but of course this is not the case with Heroes of NFT. In fact, the beta version has been out for some time, now closed but can still be played. First of all, I’d like to ask how the beta testing event went, and secondly now that the beta testing is completed players are still able to access the version but requires them to hold at least 10 Heroes NFTs to participate? Can either or both of you comment on these two points?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    Firstly, We value our beta testers and their opinions are very important to us.
    They are our strategic partners 🙂

    According to feedback from our alpha testers, they always told us that the game is addictive. and at this moment, we are using just only two attributes of our NFT character cards but all others attributes have already been coded to our NFT’s and by time we are going to activate it. The game mechanics will become more complex and increase the fun of game play.

    Secondly, development is a process and we will develop more and more every day. Since it opened, we have never closed it until today. Everyone with 10NFT’s can access and play the game for sure. And they can witness progress 🙂

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Looking ahead, there are a lot of plans for NFT integration in the game economy, from the marketplace to NFTs as avatars, all the way through to Heroes costumes/cards and so on. Can you give us a high-level overview of these NFTs and how their integration with the different classes and rarity levels aim to foster a synergistic relationship with the rest of the game mechanics.

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    The thing about our unique Hero Nfts is: each of them have a unique seed with many parameters inside.

    By looking these parameters we can decide the character’s class, attack defense ratio, colors, what item slots he has and etc. The item NFTs will be generated by staking Hon tokens then the users will assign these NFTs to our Hero cards and increase their powers and abilities.
    The avatar NFTs are the next thing we’ll offer to our community. They’ll be 3D customizable to the personal taste.

    The players will them use these NFTs to make a living in our Metasphere 🙂
    Our marketplace will be run with Hon token. Players will either trade Erc721 or Erc1155 tokens alike. Also we’d like to provide opportunity to direct swaps between NFTs.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    With such a complex economy to drive the ecosystem, there will be safety concerns. What safety measures and priorities have been taken to make the smart-contracts exploitation proof? What about the NFTs, how is the security around it?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    If they know Defikintaro they wouldn’t worry 🙂

    Our Hon token and Yield farm is audited by Certik. We’ve been absolutely cautious when writing our contracts.

    before deploying they are reviewed by the different cyber security experts. So we’re confident about our development flow. Also for the backend infrastructure we’re working with private clouds of some trusted providers. Securing p2e economy system is hard but not impossible.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Considering the magnitude of the project, long-term goals and visions are important. What does the long-term ambition for Heroes of NFT look like? Will there be any additional features added on top of the myriad already in the works?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    As I said before Our goal is to reach the same level of games as Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra. Competing with companies like Riot Games.

    We are creating A metaverse from scratch with unique heroes and stories. And any of you can be part of it. Maybe your avatar is going to be a new hero and epics will be written in your name. We really want to make it real and do what is necessary.

    We planned to launch our game with our spell cards and in game items. I believe that it will greatly increase the pleasure and excitement it will give.
    Which means our game side is going to be renewed with our new art style, animation and UI elements. Which is very near. I am super excited about it.
    Also In near future we also start to implement our Virtual Reality version. It is also going to level up what we have done so far. Virtual Reality is my passion. Really want to pass that part. But first things first.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    From a development perspective, which challenges did you have to rise above, and do you think there has been any advantages to undertaking the massive task to build such intricate gameplay on Avalanche as opposed to different blockchains?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    I think the most challenging part is to create a unique and random enough hero card on the fly. Maybe it’s not quite obvious but our NFT creation mechanism is one of a kind in the whole blockchain ecosystem not just on Avalanche. So that the contract is able to create nearly 14k unique hero cards.
    We’ve gathered our community in the Avalanche ecosystem, they’re our strong supporters and so that we’ve come so far and created innovative ideas. Also the low fees and instant finality feature of Avalanche empowers our system to be very fast compared to the Ethereum network. We may go with the other L1 chains but they’re simply not expandable as Avalanche right now. Imagine the future Heroes Subnet is going to be part of L1 blockchain and will allow free transactions with instant finality. We don’t need to build a L2 chain like Axie did.

    I even don’t talk about game side 🙂

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    This is indeed a thoughtful answer and you covered the philosophy quite well

    Now the final question before we move on to queries from the good peope out in the twitterverse…For final thoughts, is there anything that either of you are excited about to see in the near future and would like to share with the rest of the Avalaunch community?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    What we have done so far gives us strength about what we will do. We are planning to publish mobile and pc versions of the game to make it more accessible. I just really want people to play our game in their spare time and fun.

    I mean, for example; you make money while taking a dump.

    Isn’t it great 🙂

    Twitter Questions

    @ahmetjoey— Some projects are experiencing adoption issues due to issues with their UI/UX. Will you provide a tutorial and guidance video/document for this?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    Of Course we are, our lovely community already took action before us and made some tutorials.

    For the game perspective,
    We are waiting for the first version of the game to come out, because the game itself will change a lot and will not have much to do with the present. We will make animated tutorials to make sure make everything is clear

    @Ebenezeraddo70 asks — P2E game are a really good way to generate income, but sometimes it’s difficult to start playing them because their initial investment is really expensive. Is there a free to play option for those who want to play it but can’t afford the initial investment yet?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    Currently 10 HRO NFT cards are needed. But in the new feature we are going to publish our mobile version to took people attention and grab them to the Avalanche network! In the mobile version, you will be able to play the game without any investment but you can not earn for the moment.

    @Bambang97516553 — I could see that Heroes Of NFT has been working with ChainLink. What is the main purpose of this collaboration? Exactly what aspects of your project do you hope ChainLink can help you improve?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    We wanted to create a strategy game like chess

    But it wouldn’t fit into crypto world. Because it may be boring. So we added a chance factor. In this version you are rolling dice for example. We are going to use ChainLink VRF solution to make sure the chance factor is really random.

    @rishav4455566 — Do the token holders have the right to participate in the governance of the project? What kind of decisions can they vote on about Heroes of NFT?

    Deniz| Heroes of NFT

    For example they can vote for the HRO NFT price etc

    We have already done something like this with our community

    We are believing ourselves and we are believing our community. Their supports means a lot to us

  • Avalaunch Integration With Dexalot

    Avalaunch Integration With Dexalot

    The advantages of Avalanche are myriad; from the near instant finality to the deployment of subnets, it is becoming a hub not just for DeFi but for all things blockchain. The base chain of Avalaunch has established itself as a juggernaut in crypto and the recent market validation from Rush and Blizzard speaks to a massive interest garnered in more traditional circles. This portends a very bright, well capitalized future for Avalanche and Avalaunch is proud to call it “home.”

    As the space evolves, Avalaunch can not afford to remain stagnant; it must innovate. From incubation to IDO, Avalaunch has made great strides in nurturing the growth of new projects that build on Avalanche. For every IDO that has been performed, the team has spent months working with these projects prior to and following a given listing. It is a far lengthier process than a community may realize and fairly intensive. Post sale, there is continued communication and additional introductions that need to be made in order for each initiative to smoothly find their path forward.


    An Integrated Future

    The Avalanche community is tight— moreso than most, and a surprising amount of communication exists between even the most disparate of projects. At Avalaunch, whenever we assess where things could be further improved, we often look no further than our fellows. Platypus is showing us what a smart stable swap with pooled liquidity can do and Trader Joe continues to contribute with inventive mechanics to bid on and ultimately bolster liquidity for projects. It is indeed an exciting time.

    Avalaunch has always envisioned a seamless and decentralized continuum for projects. From idea to ideation, the team believes it can be near modular as prospective projects can graduate from one phase to the next, making incremental improvements and maturing as they move towards a listing event. Avalaunch and the decentralized exchange, Dexalot have already known each other for some time and consider ourselves to be wholly complementary projects. Their vision of creating a decentralized exchange (“DEX”) that offers all the benefits of a traditional, centralized exchange is much needed and we are aligning in an effort to address the limitations of the automated market maker (“AMM”).

    A Pain Point

    A sticking point for decentralized crypto surrounds listings. While Avalanche DEX’s have done much to make the market more liquid and tradable, there is nothing resembling a traditional central limit order book (“CLOB”) where bids and offers can be placed and executed upon. CLOBS are the most capital efficient way to trade and with rare exception, every person’s first crypto experience involves interacting with a CLOB in places such as Coinbase, Binance etc. As our community knows, we eschew “first come first serve” type distributions and to date, have preferred to buy unsold tokens and gift them to participants rather than subject our community to gas wars, bots, restrictive time frames and any practice that falls outside the maxim of “fair trade.” As the Avalanche ecosystem continues to make great strides, the onboarding of new projects must also evolve with it.


    The Dexalot Solution

    Dexalot is a state-of-the-art decentralized exchange with market making and a CLOB. It will also be one of the first subnets built on Avalanche and this status as a subnetwork will allow Dexalot to offer benefits and features unique to them.

    Dexalot has identified a number of problems within the world of listing on decentralized exchanges. Among them:

    • AMMs don’t have limit order functionality, slippage control isn’t enough.
    • Bots and MEV (miner extractable value) wreck users during launches.
    • IDOs work well, but launching tokens on AMMs simply doesn’t.

    To better improve outcomes, Dexalot has taken some cues from legacy finance to create a new process for listing assets called “Dexalot Discovery.” This impressive feature set is designed to optimize listings.

    Dexalot Discovery will:

    • Support limit orders.
    • Prevent bots from shutting out users.
    • Give users ample time to enter orders and match.
    • Create a more orderly and fair price discovery process.
    • Following price discovery, AMM listings become safer.

    A Fairer Future

    As stated before, Avalaunch works with projects pre and post sale. Moreover, it ensures every user can receive an allocation and imposes maximum allocations along with clustering to optimize distribution. The goal is always to maximize the benefit for the greatest number of users as an Avalaunch sale is truly a distribution event and the beginning of a long-term partnership. With Dexalot, it will be more.

    Avalaunch and Dexalot have shared values and the alignment is a link that forms like connective tissue; representing a big step forward in providing new market entrants a smoother start. Projects will be able to seamlessly move from an IDO to a listing that overcomes many of the hurdles that AMM listings face.

    The advent of the automated market maker was watershed in crypto. Rather suddenly, there was liquidity for projects that may not have otherwise gained needed support. For liquidity, providers were able to benefit from what they provided in the form of LP fees. It was a solution to a bigger problem wherein blockchains like Ethereum were simply too slow to support a traditional order book. And, make no mistake, it was a coup. However, it led to the issue of impermanent loss and the continual rebalancing of liquidity created additional exploits. Then there are bots. On a public blockchain, there is no way to stop a bot from interacting with a smart contract, thus new listings are populated by bots who can snipe bids and create an inordinate amount of buy pressure at higher prices. It is suboptimal to say the least.

    Dexalot does not have this problem. As a decentralized exchange with a centralized order book and market making support, the aforementioned issues are mitigated. There are bids and asks which can be filled or rejected. Organic price discovery can now be realized. Avalaunch users understand that demand can far exceed supply even in the face of a seven-figure IDO and have been frustrated as they view an IDO as their one shot to buy a token at a ‘natural’ price.


    An Integration

    The integration will be subtle but potent. Users of Avalaunch will have the opportunity to automatically deposit their IDO tokens into Dexalot with the push of a button.

    • A deposit button automatically places IDO tokens into Dexalot.
    • Place bids and offers prior to the listing.
    • A DEX that functions as a centralized exchange with CLOB.
    • Once on its own subnet, Dexalot will control gas fees and make it less burdensome to trade.
    • New projects will experience real price discovery.
    • Token prices will be based on true supply and demand.

    Many crypto investors are inexperienced with either the nuances of trading or navigating the technology—or both. AMM’s have opened up a new world but have also created avoidable losses as price can be dictated not by demand but by technology. An unspoiled launch can result in a smoother arc as projects garner awareness over days and weeks versus mere seconds. This integration is not here to stanch up or downside, rather, to allow for a better beginning.

    Users will now have ample time to present their best bids and offers similar to how one registers for an IDO on Avalaunch. In essence, utilizing Dexalot’s CLOB capability equalizes the chance for anyone to get a piece of a particular project.


    Conclusion

    New projects are early stage companies with tradable assets. This is the key driver of speculation in crypto and having a “cleaner playground” will not dampen the spirit of our “wild west.” Rather, it will attract new entrants to this burgeoning market place and entirely new asset class. There are no capital requirements for participation, ever dwindling barriers to entry and the elimination of of bad behavior would be a fast track to adoption and additional capital inflow.

    Heroes of NFT AMA #1 — Project Overview with Co-Founders Halil (CEO) & Deniz (Game Dev. Lead) (Recap)

    On 01/28/2022 at 12:00 p.m. (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest co-founder Halil (Chief Executive Officer), Heroes of NFT. Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.


    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    let us begin with a big hello and welcome to the Heroes of NFT AMA on your favorite crypto channel — Avalaunch chat brought to you by the base chain Avalanche. Today we have Halil, the Co-Founder of CEO of the project which will be our next IDO. We have known each other for quite some time and had the fortune of watching this project grow leading up to our IDO. Good to have you Halil, how are you?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    I am feeling great! also thanks for inviting us and it is amazing to join an AMA here as a cofounder of Heroes of NFT. Life is great and i am the most happiest person in this world. Hi Avalaunch community! you are really doing amazing things on avalanche. You are inspiring our Heroes of NFT community as well.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Let’s start with an introduction about yourself, your academic background and career experience to date?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    Hello, I’m Halil. I am a graduate of Electrical and Electronics Eng. I also did my MBA at the same university. It is one of the best university in my country. I have systems engineering and many years of management experience. I am an early investor of Avalanche. I have validators. I’ve been in crypto since 2016. I was working in a multination company and we wanted to do our own project in crypto, which we love and turn it into a lifestyle. I have been developing the Heroes of NFT project with my teammates since April 2021. I am the CEO of the project. Also i am one of early investor of Avalanche , i have validators and very well know person in Avalanche Turkey Community.

    my career was a bit corporate one but decided to quit everything for the happiness that i found in crypto:)

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Sounds like you need no introduction in the world of Avalanche. Thank you for that intro. There’s a bit of an atmospheric vibe to this team, in the sense that the idea of Heroes of NFT originated from a card game — not something you hear everyday! How did that experience inspire you and the rest involved to create a formula for blockchain users, game enthusiasts and NFT lovers? I can only presume that refinement was key!

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    We got that comment from our investors as well. As a team we are different in a good way. Creativity and innovation are the core competencies of the team. Especially i really like our brainstorming sessions and thinking loudly talks. During one of this session, we had that idea to create a nft based card game for Avalanche. We believe the best way to utilize NFTs to a game and to economy is the card game.

    let me show you something interesting for everyone. some blue print outputs that we created in one of our brainstorming meetings.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    I’ve heard you thinking loudly before 😁

    Would love to see it

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    everything started with these sketches. That sketch was our starting point

    When we run the game in our minds, we saw the game is full of with fun! we spent many hours on the game mechanics, The key feature of heroes of nft is not to create another chess style game but to create a game that could attract millions but also at the same time easy to learn.

    I can say easily that Heroes of NFT is an important game for NFT lovers and crypto people

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    This “cocktail napkin” will be a valuable NFT one day. Heroes of NFT is best described as a platform that enables users of all types that embrace blockchain gaming to derive ‘real world’ value. Would you be kind enough to describe to us the in-game mechanics and the revenue generated models users can benefit from by using the platform?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    We have created an innovative division of labor in the Heroes of NFT ecosystem. With this model, users can enjoy Heroes of NFT without having to play the game.

    Early investors, which we call Farmers, will benefit from providing HON tokens to the ecosystem thanks to the yield farming protocol.

    Gamers who will make up the majority will earn HRM tokens by playing the game. They will also be the ones who spend AVAX to buy NFTs and spend HON in the marketplace for Hero NFTs, skins, terrains, hero superpowers, hero items and spend HRM for in-game items.

    Workers who will not play the game as much as gamers but who still want to earn income from Heroes of NFT will earn income by staking character NFTs together with HON tokens.

    but the important thing is that we will provide AVAX to our ecosystem. We don’t delegate creating of new NFTs to enter the HON ecosystem to our community. Because we don’t want any high entry barrier for the game. We will share the revenue of our NFT sales with the community via buy backs of hon tokens after we implement our play to earn mechanism

    in game mechanics is something that we really give high importance.

    We wanted to create game mechanics that look easy to attract non gamers but getting more complicated when they used to play. According to feedbacks from our alpha testers, they always told us that the game is addictive and at this moment, we are using just only two attributes of our NFT character cards but all others attributes have already been coded to our NFT’s and by time we are going to activate it. The game mechanics will become more complex and increase the fun of game play.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Having both passive and active income opportunities is great. As is the provision of AVAX for users. I know that you have a fair amount of AVAX already in the contracts. Well done.

    NFTs have been on the rise for a few months already, and according to a report looking at NFT sales on Opensea (one major marketplace for trading non-fungible tokens) January registered as a record high month for NFT trades. Obviously, Heroes of NFT has a strong element of this. Can you outline to us these in-game NFTs, like minting, rarity levels, and how their integration comes into play?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    We are the only project i guess which is able to continuous sale of NFTs. We sold more than 13k Nfts on avalanche and has made a revenue of more than 5700 avax at this moment. We are not a jpeg nft project. people love the idea and the implementation

    The NFT assets are the core component of the gameplay. The players will be challenged by the game and by each other with the hero (HRO) cards. Other NFT assets which will be generated by players in the ecosystem and sold in the marketplace will enrich the gameplay thus making it more enjoyable. While NFT assets are player-ownable, they’re also tradable on the marketplace. Moreover, by staking NFT Cards together with your Hon tokens, you can have passive income. You can buy our NFT Cards on our website, Kalao and NFTrade

    Heroes of NFT Cards have some rules that had already been coded on your unique cards. These simple rules are coded in colors and with icons. Heroes of NFT has five different rarity levels. These are Common Cards, Uncommon Cards, Rare Cards, Epic Cards and Legendary Cards. Each card has a different frame and different color scheme. These color schemes are showing the uniqueness of your card. Common Cards are the most issued cards whereas Epic Cards are less common cards. But the greatness is happening in the background. we created an inhouse developed algorithm for creation of our Nfts, there are many coded attributes that we haven’t activated yet. please take a look to this greatness.

    every card has a unique seed which is defining its attributes. with these attributes we can improve the game mechanics very much soon

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    As an on-chain card game, Heroes of NFT faces a competitive space not just for blockchain-gaming but also NFTs. How does the game mechanics ensure that extra degree of differentiation?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    I believe we are the only project on Avalanche that has a collectible card game that can be played. Having an interactive game that you can play against your opponents as opposed to a browser-based idle game differentiates us from the many projects on the Avalanche network. Even our first version of the game was a peer to peer with PvP mode. We are very competitive in terms of game fun. We are not a click to earn or an idle battle game. By the way, our community has been experiencing our game with their 10 NFT cards and also they can play each other or against AI bots.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Agreed. It is a key differentiator — Anybody doing a little research will come to realize that Heroes of NFT is more than just a game with strong NFT elements, and that it immerses the player into a new world of heroes — the Heroes Metaverse set in the year 2073. The first set of the story has been released but there’s also a second part coming out in this quarter. What can you tell us so far about this second part to the Metaverse story?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    We have characters and our players can create emotional attachments with their favorite characters. it is very important feature of our game. We are working with a creative director to write the stories of our characters and also she is taking care of new addition of the character to hon world.

    The second part is being written to establish exactly how the heroes relate to the game. The first chapter was concerned with who they are and the second chapter will be about how do they end up phosphania. It’s a journey.

    these characters have really cool stories

    people can read the stories of characters from our website

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    At the heart of this cleverly thought and designed ecosystem, sits HON — the native token and HRM the in-game token. Can you expand on the utility of both of these tokens, and how holders are able to benefit from them?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    The HON Token serves as a governance token. We’ll distribute it via yield farming and NFT and HON token staking in addition to the sales round. Staking NFT with HON token is for our small investors who do not want to lose money in any permanent loss. Another benefit of the HON is that it will be used in the marketplace by our gamers. Our land sales will also be conducted in HON Token. Moreover while our workers are creating new NFTs for the players, they need to have HON tokens and also to access special feature of the game HON token is a requirement. HON token will have many more utilities in the future but as a summary above utilities will be established firstly

    HRM token is our in game reward token. You can gain HRM token by winning games and tournaments and HRM can be pended at in-game shop for in-game items. These in-game items can be used only once. They spent Digital Hrm then burns. Whenever someone uses HRM token it will be burned. By the way we have a very creative reward system which we created for our game. It is a reward path system and when we deployed it, people will really like it.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Heroes of NFT has a lot of revenue driving opportunities built-in. Impressive.

    The roadmap shows some exciting milestones for this quarter. What grabbed my attention and wanted to find out more about the economy model. Can you expand on all that’s coming on that front? I’m sure future token holders would want to hear more about that.

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    we are crypto people and we are creating our model in this sense. first thing first, we will share the revenue of our NFT sales via buybacks. It is amazing and after we deployed the final version according to our models and also the growth of avalanche ecosystem, we saw that we are going to do epic buy backs with the revenue coming from our NFT sales. this is the advantage of GAMEFI and we will utilize it.😍

    the other thing is that we are creating really good incentive for our hon token holders. They will be free of impermanent loss risk while they are staking their NFT cards with hon tokens. They will create LPs and deposit it to our yield farming contract.

    Also we are going to create very innovative way of creating revenue from our metaverse! in the past people were watching the advertisement on tv or reading it on newspaper. now advertisement medium is social media. the next big thing in marketing will be metaverse advertisement.

    Anyone who are holding our hon tokens will enjoy the creativity and make good income with the innovation. even I don’t need to mention about yield farming.

    we will take care of our tokens and community!

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Just taking in some of the good vibes here.

    There are some exciting features that I’m looking forward to seeing in the near future. In particular, Metaverse structure with the whole 3D lobby, new characters and costumes. Can you tell us a little bit about those, and which of these features excite you the most?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    3D Lobby, we are creating a metaverse in that people are going to
    interact with each other.
    -Message
    -Trade
    -Duel
    In short, it is going to have fun

    3D lobby is actually consists of metaspheres which is a kind of land that gives some great features to its owners. It is not just a simple place. For example, owners can create their own tournaments. And all rules are going to be defined by the owners or Clan members.
    Actually, there is a lot to say about metaspheres. Renting heroes or arranging customizable tournaments are very important for game guilds and we will provide the feature to land owners. i believe heroes of nft community will create many guilds in heroes of nft. For instance, imagine you have a community and arranging a tournament and taking the entrance fee to yourself and distributing the rewards to the winner!

    New Characters mean new stories and new passions. They are like babies to us. Our design team works hard for the new characters. I am really excited about that. we will add many more characters to the game. It is never ending process. This is one of the advantage of collectible card games since players want to add new cards to their decks.

    Costumes are important as well. Because it’s the costumes that make you look different. So your avatar does. Your avatars are going to have customizable parts. You can customize your avatars with NFT’s that you have already owned! This is also a unique feature that we will bring.

    innovation is our nature in heroes of nft and our community is very well aware of it.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Wow thank you for this most thorough and comprehensive answer here today. Appreciate that very much. If there is one thing that you want our lovely community to remember, what would that be?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    The past is a good memory for us and the future is brighter than the sun. We are a competent team and we never give up, especially you know it very well 🙂 our progress is great and the best is yet to come.

    we want them to join the ido and our community. we want more players and we would like to have the strongest community on avalaunch

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Well said. In fact, it’s so good that I’m going ask one more question before moving on to the Twitterati

    With a range of technologies that are best powered by blockchain like the card game with NFTs as characters, avatars, and a whole new Metaverse, where do you envision Heroes of NFT to be taking its next big step? How do you see this evolve in the next few years?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    Our Virtual Reality implementation is going to level up what we have done so far and put a lot into it. Our aim is to create a perfect transition to Virtual Reality. And make the whole world hear about us. This is just the beginning. We have a great team and I have faith. By the way, AR and VR technologies are not a new field for us. We have great experience about AR and VR technologies. It is my personnel opinion but the big thing in crypto is gamefi at this moment. Heroes of nft is a gamefi project. But the next big thing in crypto will be AR and VR implementations.

    Twitter Questions

    @kripto_cemm — Do you think the burn mechanism of the HRM token will be sufficient? Are you going to add lottery and similar things soon and strengthen the burn mechanism?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    First of all, I don’t believe in lottery solution. also as to my observation it is not working at all. The important thing to control the inflation of game reward token is to create utilities for the token itself. Our approach is always like that how we can create utility for the token itself. if there is not enough utility, than inflation of the token in retrospect is inevitable

    we created many utilities for HRM token.

    @HambaMawandu — Regarding your token on the C-chain — how will you fight against the bots which manipulate the price at all times in the market?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    we are working with traderjoe for liquidity bootstrapping. With the rocket joe tool, there will be a very healthy price discovery period and also tokens will be available for both parties with an exact timing. This time, sniper bot owners should be very careful otherwise our community and ido participants will have chance to sell their tokens to sniper bots with a very good price.

    @Bambang97516553 wants to know — Even if I don’t consider myself a “gamer”, can I receive passive income through HeroesOfNFT?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    yes sure, with our division of labor model, people who don’t play the game, they will have chance to make income with our innovative economic model. For instance you don’t play the game, you have our heroes nft cards and you can pair them with hon tokens and you will be able to make a passive income without any impermanent loss risk. Or you have hon cards and you are staking it to create new nft and you will be able to sell it to gamers. the limit is sky. since we are a team from crypto, we created great solutions for everyone. but by the way, our matches are not taking long time. in five minutes, matches can be finalized. you don’t need to spend many hours in our game.

    @eyvallah17 — Firstly, hi from the land of chestnut honey zonguldak. I am looking forward to getting land. How do you protect your small investor from whales? What’s your strategy for land sale?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    eyvallah you make me laugh 😂. you are amazing:) we are working on the best model for our community and for our project. we know that there is a FOMO about our land sales. Even some VCs are asking from us to have priority for buying lands from our metaverse. We will publish a strategy for our community and if they follow it such as staking their hon tokens for one months, they will have more chance to buy the land. but at the end of the day, lands are limited resources.

    @AIRDROPGIRL1— What is the advantage of X chain for HON and are there any subnet plans?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    our token is xchain and cchain compatible. as it is known, these are main subnets in fact. it means we are ready for subnets. for instance in case that there is a bottleneck in cchain, our users will be able to withdraw their token to xchain and they will transfer them easily. but at this moment no wallet is supporting this feature. by the way, we are the only project on avalanche which provides this feature to the users. we have subnets plans. i am one of the biggest validators on avalanche turkey community and i will provide many validators for Heroes of NFT subnet.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    At this point, I’m going to pass the mic to @shahi297 who is going to unmute the chat for a few minutes. Our community will weigh in with questions from which you will choose your 5 favorites. Ready?

    Lovish Shahi| Avalaunch

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    we had a great working experience in the best companies in our country. Especially our developer cofounders have great skills on AR and VR technologies. we will combine AR VR technologies with blockchain and NFT but we don’t want to give trailers about it since the ideas are very unique

    NFTmoon

    NFT heroes have five different rarity levels. These are Common Cards, Unusual Cards, Rare Cards, Epic Cards and Legendary Cards. Then, is there a general story of beating the legendary card?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    spell cards will help you to beat the legendary cards. we call them fate crushers and they will increase the game fun very much

    NIm06

    What is your top 3 things for priorities in 2022? Could you share some plans for the upcoming year?

    Halil | Heroes of NFT

    we will increase the number of team members. First we try to find our new team members from our community. We are calling everyone to send their CVs to memur@heroesofnft.com. If you are a unity developer, we will give more attention to your application. The other things are the deployment of new game components such as spell cards and implementation of the new designs to the game.

    About Heroes of NFT

    Heroes of Nft is a turn-based collectible trading card game. Players can battle in the arena against each other and show-off their skills with unique hero cards. Our novel Play 2 Earn mechanics will allow players to be participants of a real game economy. PvP and PvE modes are rewarded separately with mintable HRM tokens while the real prizes are distributed in the official tournaments. HON token holders will designate the game’s future thus they’ll be the real game masters. Future integration of Virtual Reality will carry the player to a new world where one will determine his own fate. Having all of these features, Heroes of NFT distinguishes itself from the others.

    Heroes of NFT x Avalaunch: IDO Announcement

    As crypto evolves as an asset class, the emergence of fundamental guidelines to inform one’s thinking will become more and more important. To date, the impact of intangibles such as measurable, truly natural community growth, clear development evolution and wholly committed teams have been profoundly felt but often overlooked.

    Avalaunch has done its best to meet the occasionally conflicting traits of market demand, sentiment, underlying value propositions and sustainable modeling. We are aware that market cycles may always rule the day when early stage companies become tradable assets but longevity is a far more fundamental consideration. We must meet demand with an “ear to the street,” while doing our very best to provide a measure of quality assurance to the projects we contemplate for IDOs. In the current landscape of trending markets, consider:

    • NFTs ballooned to a $41 billion market in 2021; nearly catching up to the total size of the global fine art market, valuated at ~50B USD.
    • DeFi Protocols currently have in excess of 250B in locked value.
    • There are more than 200 million bitcoin wallets alone.
    • The global gaming market reached a value of US $175.8 billion in 2021.

    Further consider the rise of virtual worlds like Decentraland, the increase in both number and quality of crypto-based games, the emergence of guilds, the global disruption of the blockchain across industries and the general emergence of the metaverse in assessing the potential of what lies ahead. The emerging picture truly puts in perspective how early we are and moreso, the importance of populating our Web3 with the “right stuff.”

    At an intersection of DeFi, Gaming and NFTs squarely sits our next project and Avalaunch is proud to announce Heroes of NFT as our next IDO.


    Something Special For This IDO: Rocket Joe

    With full details to be released soon, Heroes of NFT will be the first project to participate in the highly anticipated Rocket Joe liquidity launch platform.

    Rocket Joe is an innovative feature of Trader Joe that helps new projects bootstrap liquidity, avoid the typical launch pitfalls—bots, distribution issues, etc.—while giving a new token an opportunity to engage in organic price discovery.

    Participants in Rocket Joe will be able to bid on liquidity prior to the AMM pool which will help determine and support a stable, more discovered price.

    More details are shared below, but at a high level, the Avalaunch IDO will operate as normal. Once the IDO concludes, Rocket Joe will begin. The tokens on Avalaunch will remain locked until Rocket Joe concludes, at which point a pool with deep liquidity and a fair market price will open, and users on Avalaunch will be able to claim their tokens and trade freely.

    Overview

    Heroes of NFT is a dynamic universe which allows participants to create their Metasphere, roam the universe, interact and trade Avalanche NFTs along with play-to-earn capabilities.

    Our Heroes are set in a post-apocalyptic metaverse commencing in the year 2073 after humans have drained and destroyed the world’s remaining natural resources. Can’t say we’re surprised and the wasteland seems a perfect place to separate pretenders from contenders as players begin a journey to rebuild a lost world. The battle for leadership commences as players fight to advance in the game arena.


    The NFTs In Heroes

    Certainly, a compelling world and a playable game is the most basic criteria in assessing a gamefi project. Heroes of NFT made this qualitative evaluation fairly easy since they currently have players who put their money on the line in order to participate. This is unusual for a project that has yet to list is something worth highlighting:

    • As of today, the Heroes of NFT (“HON”) smart contract has received 5371 AVAX for 12,954 NFT cards distributed over more than 1200 wallets.

    It is also worth noting that this is different from other JPEG NFT projects as Heroes of NFT cards have utility in the game and NFT generations. There are five types with varying rarity and the more rare the card is, the more potency it has in the game. Furthermore, the game is already live as Beta version; unlike other “idle” games, players can already play against each other as well as the AI Bot to polish their skills and gain experience, getting ready for the challenging road ahead to Play-Earn

    More than NFT cards, Skins and Lands, called Metaspheres, will be sold. Many games that are craft and card-based limit the streams of revenue that can be generated. Within Heroes of NFT the team has already identified multiple streams of revenue and the addition of new NFTs will only serve to increase sales revenues.


    To continue, let us peek behind the curtain — Heroes of NFT is a business with a sustainable revenue model. Consider the threading of the revenue drivers in the game:

    • Purchase — Heroes of NFT cards (HROs) to build hero crews in order to enter the game arenas.
    • Land — For more control and leadership, purchasing NFTs to establish your own community and arrange tournaments with a customized game economics.
    • Power Up –Purchasing item cards and single use spell cards to help their gameplay and increase their chances of winning.

    These initial drivers lead participants to:

    • Play-to-Earn — Players battle with their heroes against opponents to complete missions and achieve victory to survive and prosper in the new world.
    • Ancillary — The namesake Heroes of NFT card is a turn- based collectible trading card where users must strategize. Additional spell cards, weapons and cosmetics provide heroes extra power and customization options.
    • Sustainability — Heroes of NFT will use up to 80% of revenue coming from NFT cards to buy back Heroes of NFT ecosystem tokens after the final release of the game.

    The latter bullet on sustainability speaks to the potential longevity for the game itself. As a model, play-to-earn is compelling and resultant of this, has been heavily subsidized. Projecting out, no one clearly knows how these mechanics can endure in the face of dwindling rewards.

    • Value Generation — Play-to-Earn games are economically closed systems with finite benefits. In a closed system, interdependence between parties is crucial to this “island” economy.

    To address this:

    • There is a division of labor and roles in the Heroes of NFT ecosystem.
    • People don’t need to play the game but still can benefit from Heroes of NFT.
    • A buyback program is a built-in assurance that suggests, as long as there are players, users can be incentivized to play.

    The division of labor is crucial and as follows:

    • Yield farmers — generate additional HON tokens. Fueling the game economy, they will also be shareholders of Heroes of NFT’s ecosystem and benefit from the generated income.
    • Gamers — tired of “pay to win,” these users desire true play to earn. Identified as younger and from especially developing countries, these players are a crucial component.
    • Workers — don’t play as much as Gamers but want to generate income from the Heroes of NFT ecosystem. They spend AVAX to buy Hero character NFTs and stake HON, effectively generating NFT rewards for gamers.

    A dual token economy— HON is the apex token and HRM is the rewards/in-game token.

    HON TOKEN

    • Distributed through yield farming and gaming. Game distribution done in the special reward path works with the player experience.
    • Used as a main currency in trading in the marketplace.
    • Hon ownership grants entrance to ranked games and competitions.
    • Hon staking creates usable NFT spell and item cards.
    • Governance.

    HRM TOKEN

    • Distributed through gaming.
    • 3 variants are available digital & X-chain & C-chain.
    • HRM can be spent for in-game items which are used once and burnt.
    • Digital HRM can be claimed in X-chain.
    • X-chain HRM transferrable to C-chain.
    • NFT items and spell cards.
    • C-chain HRM can be spent on item upgrades.
    • C-chain HRM can be spent on boosting item & spell card creation.

    Closing Thoughts

    Heroes of NFT is truly a community supported project in the making. Avalaunch met the Heroes of NFT team many months ago and watched them make strides; garnering support from top tier investors as well as building an enviable community. This is precisely the type of project that an ecosystem can hope for; grassroots, built from the ground up in plain view, adding pieces and progressing as they go. Importantly, this is a business-minded project as the team has identified and fleshed out a number of revenue streams which already have a measure of market validation. Heroes of NFT has been organic growth through and through; the foundation has been poured properly and well-set.

    Rocket Joe Schedule

    Users participating in the Avalaunch IDO can also participate in the Rocket Joe Launch. Staking for rJOE will be available at the start of February.

    Heroes of NFT — Rocket Joe Launch Timeline

    • February 4th (48hr): Users can deposit (and withdraw as optional)
    • February 6th (24hr): Users can withdraw
    • February 7th (7 days): All tokens are deposited into LP and locked

    The tokens on Avalaunch will unlock 1 hour after the AMM pool on Trader Joe is opened.

    Rocket Joe is designed to compliment the launchpad experience, not replace it. The Avalaunch IDO price is fixed, and the resulting Rocket Joe price will reflect a higher, secondary market rate based on interest and demand. This is a more robust alternative to simply opening a pool after IDO, with the added benefits of no bots, deeper liquidity and more organic price discovery.

    For a detailed schedule, please refer to the upcoming Trader Joe announcement.


    Avalaunch IDO Recap

    • Total HON for sale: 10M

    Platform Update: New UX/UI

    After many months of working on an updated user interface and design language for our application, we are excited to finally unveil our brand new launchpad experience.

    Our number one goal is providing a top-tier sale experience for both community and team, and that means we always need to stay ahead of the curve. While we have received positive feedback about the platform in terms of ease-of-use and design, and even seen others adopt many of our conventions, we are interested in pushing further.

    The new Avalaunch UX/UI is the result of community feedback, our own observations, and clearing the runway for some new features to come. 2022 is set to be a tremendous year for both Avalaunch and the Avalanche ecosystem as a whole and we are confident that this upgraded launchpad experience will support this growth.

    Let’s get into it!


    Homepage

    As we adapted and built quickly over the last year, many of our parallel applications and features like the LP farm, KYC portal, audits, etc. needed to be surfaced. Out of necessity, many of these ended up on the homepage where they were most visible. While functional, we felt the flow could be streamlined, and the experience could be more focused.

    Our new homepage manages to include everything you need to know about Avalaunch and how to participate, while maintaining a smoother path through the calls to action and information.

    It’s important to us that new users to the platform immediately understand our value proposition and what steps to take next. Our redesigned homepage achieves exactly that.

    We also added an area that highlights our most recent sales for quicker, at-a-glance participation. Our current and past sales can now be found in many places across the site so users can view and access the latest opportunities hosted on the platform.


    My Profile (KYC/Verify/Register)

    With our new interface, we have moved the KYC and account creation into one application, removing the need for a new user to navigate across multiple sites to achieve registration. The old KYC application has been removed and everything has been brought into a single domain.

    All of the new features can now be found under the improved “My Profile” tab and can be easily accessed or referenced at any time.

    Once on the profile page, you will be able to create an account, complete your KYC, verify (or change) a wallet, and register as a validator (if you run an Avalanche node).

    While the old separate applications may not seem terribly problematic, we wanted the Avalaunch experience to be as frictionless as possible.

    The “My Profile” page brings the most important first steps forward and into one place, allowing for a smoother experience for new users and those looking to make changes to their account.


    Launchpad

    We have also completely redesigned our launchpad application with an emphasis on quick, intuitive participation.

    When arriving at the application, a new user will be presented with the immediate next steps they need to go through in order to start participating in sales.

    They will also be able to check out the current ongoing sales, as well as past launches and their raise info.

    Drilling down to any sale will allow a register/participate or view historical stats, based on sale status.

    From any sales page, you can also find sale info, tokenomics, the ability to claim your tokens at TGE and any vested portions when they become available.


    Sales Page

    Our sales page is where you will be able to see all of the sales ever hosted on the platform. You can also sort by relevant filters like date, ATHs and total amount raised.

    Because we have conducted a long list of sales at this point, the search function will allow you to find the sale you’re looking for quickly and without needing to scroll through pages of past IDOs.


    Allocation Staking

    The Allocation Staking page is probably one of the biggest changes to the application, with an entirely upgraded interface to interact with your stake.

    From here, you will be able to stake, withdraw, compound, harvest, as well as view:

    • Current APY
    • Your Current Stake
    • Earned XAVA

    The graphs and TVL sections have also seen a refresh with a focus on clear, easy to digest information.


    Airdrops

    At Avalaunch, we enjoy a good airdrop. We often surprise our community with IDOs held at our cost and free for the user, as well as drops of unsold tokens after an IDO is complete.

    In fact, we do this so often we had to entirely rethink how to make sorting and navigating the claim cards easier for our frequent users.

    In addition to redesigned cards, we have added a search bar and search filters so you can easily find what you are looking for, and sort by what you haven’t claimed yet.

    This was a heavily requested feature that we made sure to include and airdrop recipients can now sort by:

    • New Airdrops
    • Airdrops You are Eligible For
    • XAVA Airdrops

    One cool feature of the “Eligble” filter is that it takes into account vested portions, and will resurface tokens you are eligible to claim as they unlock.

    No more digging around, checking dates, etc. Just use the filter and whatever is available to claim will be presented. Easy.


    Network Stats

    We are very proud of the impact we have had on the Avalanche ecosystem, and we wanted to make sure that users could track it by the numbers.

    Our redesigned Network Stats page is your one-stop-shop for every relevant metric to gauge the Avalaunch platform’s reach and performance. With only 12 sales under our belt at the time of writing, we have managed to raise nearly $9,000,000 across almost 90,000 KYC’ed users.


    Wrapping Up

    As you poke around the site, you’ll certainly find new designs and user flows that we didn’t cover here. And true to form, we already have some additional improvements we are planning to roll out soon.

    The new UI is only the first in a series of major upgrades that will reshape the platform and the way our XAVA holders interact with it. We have seen tremendous growth across the last year and we have a tons of new features planned for our v2 application that will ensure we scale along with the ecosystem while honoring our most loyal user base.

    Stay tuned!

  • Heroes Chained AMA #2 — Technical Deep Dive with Ersin Taskin, CTO (Recap)

    Heroes Chained AMA #2 — Technical Deep Dive with Ersin Taskin, CTO (Recap)

    On 01/16/2022 at 12:00 p.m. (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest Ersin Taskin, CTO, Heroes Chained. Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.


    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Hello and welcome everyone to Part II of our serial AMA with Heroes Chained. This will be more of a technical deep dive and we are fortunate to once again have Ersin Taskin aka @ersintaskin, CTO and co-founder of Heroes Chained. As mentioned previously, this is a team that needs no introduction and Heroes Chained may well shake the rafters of crypto. Ersin, before we get started, we appreciate you joining us again today. A warm welcome back — how are you doing?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thank you. I feel great

    with the huge IDO we had w u

    Thank you for your help. Thanks to the community

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    I’m sure you’ve been running yourself ragged on the AMA circuit and elsewhere. And yes, it is indeed a massive turnout and a ton of interest for your project. Our community knows quality.

    Let’s start from the beginning even if there is some overlap from last time. Would you once again tell us a little bit about yourself, what did your previous roles look like before joining the Heroes Chained team?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    I have a BS degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Bogazici University. I have over 20 years of experience in the software and IT sector, as a developer, engineer, sales executive, manager, CTO, CEO, and entrepreneur. Prior to Inventuna I was the co-founder, chief software architect and lead developer of KodA, a top IT and software company of Turkey. I have been blockchain since 2017. Interested mostly in the technological aspect. I have written posts in the Cryptography Mail List. Mostly on decentralization, and security limitations of POW and POS.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    I’m guessing you’ve encountered this question before 😃

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Exactly. 🙂

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Let’s push the pace a bit then Sir. Speaking of experience, Heroes Chained team is pedigree level, with famous artists from the makers of Game of Thrones, blockchain experts and so on. By far this is the most skilled and experienced team I’ve come across in a long-time. And so out of curiosity, how did this ‘Dream Team’ come about? How did you manage to align and condense everyone’s vision into Heros Chained?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Erhan, my brother and partner in our previous company is the best gamer I have ever seen. He always had a dream to found a game development company. I always supported him on that idea. Since the 2018 bear in the crypto space, he has been thinking about use cases for blockchain. He has been telling me that gaming is the best use case for blockchain. We were waiting for the right time. The beginning of 2021, he told me “Bro, now is the right time”. Then he went to our close friend Salih the co-founder of CBKSoft. Acquired by first Aramex and later by Iron Mountain. Explained him the blockchain and gaming revolution. He gets aboard with his cofounder friends at CBKSoft. So the core founders are the founders of the two top software companies of the country.

    We have noticed issues in the basic strategies of early play-to-earn project. We thought that the best way to attack those issues is to develop a great game. Like the ones in the conventional games industry, providing us best practices. But we needed and experienced top game developer team. Who do we go to in Turkey? No contest. We went to Mev Dinc the Legend. The founding father of the Turkish Gaming Industry. A very close friend. Erhan visited and told him how the blockchain and NFT technologies solve the gamers’ problems. He gets excited. The rest is a roller coaster. If you have Mev Dinc aboard you need to onboard the bests in class. We are visual animals unlike dogs. So a great game has to be great on the visual part. 3d arts, animation, visual effects. Who do you go to in Turkey? Again no contest Onur Cayli. The creator of White Walkers race for Game of Thrones. He amazingly did the same for The Amazing Spider Man, Terminator Genisys, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Antman, Man in Black 3, Marvel vs Capcom, Sonic, etc. We aim to be the Blizzard of GameFi. We gathered a great team on the blockchain part as well. Our blockchain team won the Avalanche Hackathon. So we are equally strong there.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    AMA fatigue or not, you are bringing the heat. Generally, we don’t get this level of detail in answers so appreciate what you do, what you do.

    Moving along — While it’s undeniable that behind Heros Chained lies a bunch of experts, I doubt there were no difficulties either in development or technicality. In terms of these challenges, how did you overcome them? And do you think some of these challenges would have been avoided had you been developing on another chain?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We truly believe in decentralization and too technical to go with L2. Thus we had to do it with L1. You don’t have much choice there. We studied mainnet and chose Avalanche and Solana to study in further detail. We believe they are both great. Both Avalabs and Solana Labs teams responded positively to our project. We chose Avalanche. Avalanche we believe is the most developer friendly mainnet out there.

    We aimed for the Solana — Star Atlas model, in which the mainnet and the game project work closely. We have innovative ideas to solve p2e challenges and this required deep technical Collab with the mainnet team. We believe we would mean more to Avalanche as the flagship game-fi project on the mainnet. We believe with the game-fi subnets, Avalanche transaction fees will be lower and high capacity will be dedicated to the game(s) on the subnet with good parameters. Our technical team and Avalabs have a good communication which will increase with GameFi Subnet we are working on. With the Avalanche hackathon championship we have closer contacts with the leadership. We are impressed by the transaction speed of Avalanche. The time it takes from request to commitment on the ledger is the fastest we have seen on Avalanche.

    For non-coiners we had to develop a custodial wallet option. And that is a challenge. High quality 3 models in mobile game play was a challenge and the only way is to work with the best people in the class.

    Integrating the wallet with Avalanche is easier thanks to developer friendly API.

    In the long term, I would bet on mainnet where the developers go. So, I am bullish on Avalanche in the long run. However, you are right Avalanche is not as strong as Solana, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, etc. on GameFi, and we all need to work hard to get Avalanche to where it technically deserves.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    No coiners are the future 😄 Kudos to you for greasing the proverbial skids for them.

    How big is the team? How many developers are dedicated to game development?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We are over 30 people developing the game. And we have other people in management business development social media, community development etc. The team is growing so fast i cant tell the exact number. We are also hiring people. Game developers, etc.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    That is a sizable operation to be sure..

    A few of the problems that Heros Chained challenges are the common issues surrounding games, namely asset ownership, interoperability, governance and so on. Can you describe to us the solution that Heros Chained provides as a way of addressing these issues?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Sure. NFT technology helps gamers own the assets they earned playing or paying truly, legally and freely. They can trade them independently. NFT on BC provides proof of provenance and authenticity. Gamers always wanted to have interoperability but the big Game Studios did not want it. With the BC and NFT technologies it is easier to develop interoperability among gameVerses. With the metaverse evolution I believe games that are interoperable will have a higher chance to grow. We design HC with interoperability in mind. Finally, gamers used to be just customers of Game Studios. With the BC and NFT revolution finally they can stake their governance tokens to govern the game they drive. Remember we have only one currency for in-game currency and governance. And it is fixed-cap, thus deflationary.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Being on the blockchain is exciting and in rhythm with the crypto sphere, but this exposure can come at a security cost. From the security point of view, what actions/plans have been taken to minimize these potential risks? Has there been smart-contract audits, if so are the results publicly available?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Just Google super rational attack to see my posts on the cryptography mail list on BC security. We have a strong blockchain team. Remember we won the Avalanche hackathon. And we had Prof Sirer and Kevin Sekniqi in the jury. However, experts can make mistakes and therefore we had our contracts audited and approved by Certik.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    There are a lot of activities that players are able to explore once the game is released, like the battles, NFTs, PvP, PvE, with some of them being available before the MVP. From a high level perspective, can you discuss these game mechanics and how they work?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Please watch our teaser to get some feeling of the story. We believe in story for RPG games. HC is an fantasy action-rpg game. The fantasy world of Ventuna, which is home to many races and lands, has been ravaged by the Dark Lord Oblivion and his eternal champions. In a last stance to fight back, all the races gathered together, secured with magic spells and created the biggest city to be known in all history, ‘Last Hope’. Behind her walls, and the magic dome, the city is able to sustain the many races and protect them from the Dark Lord Oblivion’s reach and influence. Outside the walls; the further you go, the more it takes.

    Players own a ‘Guild’ and gather heroes. Guild is a place to call home. Your heroes is like a family or team. You compete against others, and complete missions to become the ultimate guild in the city of Last Hope! Players can PvE by sending their heroes beyond the walls of the city, to defeat enemies found roaming the map, uncover nodes and buy the land to claim them, find dungeons and claim artifacts, complete missions. PvP elements include Guild vs Guild or Team vs Team by creating alliances between guilds allowing for Tournaments and Leagues (official or unofficial).

    At the battles the player has to chose five heroes from his/her team of heroes. Best strategy requires the best combination of various classes and races. Heroes have various abilities and the player also has guild cards for spells. The player can interfere with the real-time fight using these cards real-time. It is a very unique experience so I suggest people follow us as we will be releasing gameplay content in the course of time. You have a garage in your guild , because you need a caravan to roam outside the city walls. Gather resources, craft gear, upgrade your items, guild, garage, caravan. You level up your heroes. You breed your heroes when they get to the max rank. Build, explore, trade, battle, team up. Play and earn. Stake and DeFi your tokens and NFT’s.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Wow. Just taking that all in

    How does it feel to have come first place in the Avalanche Hacks? Has this been a principal factor for deciding to continue development in the ecosystem? And while on this topic, has any of the development done during the hackathon been implemented in building Heros Chained?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thank you for asking. We want to collaborate deeply with our mainnet because we have inventions and innovations for GameFi. That is why we offered Avalabs to be our backer and collaborator. We have a great and reputable team but you have to deliver and show. When we heard about the Avalanche Hacks and heard that EGS and Kevin Sekniqi are in the jury to study and evaluate the projects on the source code level, we thought this is a good opportunity to attract their attention. We had already attracted the attention and they had already decided to be our backer, but yeah we did our best. Such a great satisfaction.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    You’ve received some great support at the highest level. Most deserved. In a day and age where so many projects are launching, we believe that the flight to quality will soon be upon us. Projects like Heroes Chained are ushering in this new era.

    Glad to have you in this Avalanche ecosystem

    but sentiment aside let me continue with the questions…Looking at the elements Heros Chained is built on, it’s possible that it could tip off the balance and possibly cause a ripple effect in the blockchain-based game industry. How do you envision this disruptive potential to transform the landscape?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thank you likewise. Feel great to be a part of this ecosystem

    I believe we are starting the GameFi 2.0 with real game studios coming to the space and disrupting P2E and replacing it with P&E. That will be huge. We need a Blizzard in GameFi. We aim to fill that gap, as Blizzard fans.

    We are also working on a long-term vision called Proof of Turing consensus mechanism called POT. POT is an alternative to POW and POS. In POT the game play by human gamers secure consensus. Thus, transaction fees go to the gamers not the miners or stakers. Transaction fess is a billion-dollar business in crypto and trillion-dollar business in the real world.

    This is something huge and long term. We need to talk about it separately.

    We are gamers, we are guild. We drive metaverse economy, we secure it. And we get the transaction fees.

    Decentralization is truly achieved when you decentralize to the people.

    I am talking about millions not a thousand validators.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Absolutely. The migration to the blockchain is coming to redefine our world…not to get too “metaversal” about it all but when you consider gaming and our ability to earn within it, it can cause one to ponder what the future of work itself may look like for many.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    And POT is super fast, because it doe not need hashpower or stake

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Awesome. Props to Mr. Turing and its continued iteration. 😄 Finally…before we move on the Twitter portion of our program — is there anything that you can divulge right here, right now, about anything, like, any partnership announcements, or deals in progress/completed that you can tell us?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We have great team, great community support and great backers. We have t1 mainnet, t1 exchange vc, long term VCs, communities, DAOs, defi partners, and great game guilds both classical and P2E guilds. We will be announcing great gamers, e-sport clubs, guilds soon. We have a Dota world champion, e-sport teams with millions of fans, etc. We rise with the gamers and guilds.

    Twitter Questions

    @NguyenDaoOne asks — if someone were to send you a good drawing for an NFT, does your team evaluate it?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Onur is a teacher at a University. He loves students. He loves to onboard them. We certainly have a ton of resources devoted to this sort of thing so I’m tempted to say no but we do want to encourage our community to stay involved so my answer would be…”never say never.” We will always be open to community input, feedback and contributions. After all it is all about community involvement.

    I suggest people to bring such suggestions up in TG and discord

    @26Akunpribadi who asks a question that probably everyone wants to know so… Do you have a Token Burning plan to increase Token value?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We don’t burn tokens. We have a single token with fixed cap. We don’t have one deflationary and one inflationary token unlike most big gamefi projects. Our single token is for both governance and in game currency. So when the game economy grows there is no central authority inflating the currency. The holders savings gain value.

    But with defi and staking circulating supply even decreases

    And also utility of tokens decreases circulation

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Amen. That is a slightly overlooked aspect of this. The distillation of value into a single token is going to be potent with time. Maybe even within short order 😄

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Single token in a big gameverse is so holder and gamer friendly

    @EdwardMastah wants to know — The teaser looks fantastic and I was wondering if you have plans to partner with any Gaming Hubs or communities?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thank you for appreciating our teaser. To answer, there are certainly some movers and shakers in the space; many of whom have reached out to us for collaboration. This is something we are absolutely interested in and will do our best to support our fellows in the quest for great gaming experiences on the Web3. We believe of socialization aspect of an rpg game. We want to motivate gamers to form communities and want to collaborate with hubs, communities and already onboarded guilds.

    @Lopyou54804819 — The project has a nice road map, what do you foresee as your greatest challenge on this roadmap?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    It’s not our roadmap per se that presents a challenge — these are deliverables and a known quantity to us. The challenge with developing with new technologies that are ever evolving is how you can keep your “ear on the street.” Innovation comes at breakneck speed and I think all teams must be willing to embrace things on the fly. A measure of adaptation is necessary and these little shifts in strategy or tech can come with little warning. So I think the challenge is not in the roadmap but really in how wide you can make that road and still be comfortable and productive. First challenge is that you have a bottleneck on the 3d art creation if you create everything from pencil sketches. We try to overcome this by working with a great team and we work in parallels. While the art team is creating our front end team is using Unity assets and dummy models for developing and replacing them as new modes arrive from the art team.

    Teams have to work in parallels to achieve the ambitious roadmap we have.

    We need a Blizzard in GameFi and we aim to have the first movers advantage on that spot.

    @kingofbacodk — When you look back to the day when you started this project do you feel you’ve come a long way?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thank you for this question. With all that is going on, we really don’t have a chance to look back. That said, yes, we have a come long way. Assembling and coordinating a team of this magnitude to share a vision has taken a lot already and of course the enormous amounts of work that have gone into the game already. Still, the road ahead of us is longer than what is behind us so I thank you for giving me a moment’s pause. we have won the Avalanche Hackathon. That was huge. Having our dream mainnet as our backer. Like the Solana — Star talas model. Check. Forming the backers we have and the successful IDO we are having now. Also building over 50 K followers on Twitter same on TG and Discord. Vibrant community and we have just gone out of stealth mode. Crypto Ratings have rated our IDO as number one in the world in January 2022. This is amazing.

    Human CRYPTO

    For a project development first of all main priority is having enough fund. Does your team financially capable to run this project? Do you have enough fund for it’s development Can you tell us that how your project generate the profit?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Good question. We will be securing around 5 Million USD with this IDO. which is good for a project of this size. It is a top budget. The IDO n the bearish market is 1.4 MUSD. Which so high. And the team members doxed themselves and put their names and whole careers on the project. We are one of the best doxed team on the whole crypto space. Thank you.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We are listing on Traderjoexyz on 19th. Then on Pangolin probably. We have had good talks with top global CEXes. We will listing with good timing on them. All announced on our website including contracts. watch out for scammers always follow our official channels

    Mahmut o7

    Hello. I want to ask, how are we going to evaluate HEC tokens until the game is released? If the game takes a long time to come out and in the meantime, there are no nft sales with Hec tokens, some events, etc., the interest may decrease. What action did you take for this? thanks

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    I think i finally found a real human:) We have beta release in roughly 5 months. Until then we will have staking, defi gains, and listing on Cex’es with good timing helps the price. We will make an NFT sale of a unique race that u cant buy or earn in the game with some priveles. Then in Marhc we will sell land NFTS

    Jerrica Farrington

    Is your project a community only for English speaking an countries or for users not of other languages?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We aim to be global. We just started, but we already have TG in 6 languages. I believe that number will increase.

    Heroes Chained AMA #1 — Project Overview with Ersin Taskin, CTO (Recap)

    On 01/14/2022 at 12:00 p.m. (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest Ersin Taskin, CTO, Heroes Chained. Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Hello and welcome everyone to another state-of-the-art AMA brought to you by Avalaunch. Today, we are genuinely fortunate to have the CTO and Co-Founder of Heroes Chained, Mr. Ersin Taskin. Heroes Chained, in our opinion, is the best team ever assembled in the web3/blockchain gaming space and it is an absolute pleasure to be hosting their IDO. How are you @ersintaskin?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    hello

    thank you very much

    so excited to be here

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Likewise. A genuine honor. Please take a moment to get situated @ersintaskin and take in the room 😄

    Just to get the party started — Can you please introduce yourself: who you are, what your role is and briefly tell us about your previous experiences and how you ended up in gamefi?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    I have a BS degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Bogazici University. I have over 20 years of experience in the IT and software industry, as a developer, engineer, sales executive, manager, CEO, entrepreneur. Prior to Inventuna I was the co-founder, chief software architect and lead developer of a top IT and software company of Turkey. I have been into blockchain since 2017. Interested mostly in the technological aspect. Erhan, my brother and partner in our previous company is the best gamer I have ever seen. Since the 2018 bear he has been telling me gaming is the best use case for blockchain. We were waiting for the right time.

    The beginning of 2021, he told me “Bro, now is the right time”. I was convinced of course. Then he went to our close friend Salih the co-founder of CBKSoft. Acquired by first Aramex and later by Iron Mountain. Explained him the blockchain and gaming revolution. He gets aboard with his cofounder friends at CBKSoft. Then we go to Mev Dinc the Legend. The founding father of the Turkish Gaming Industry. A very close friend. We tell him how the blockchain and NFT technologies solve the gamers’ problems. He gets excited. The rest is a roller coaster.

    Trying to get the best people we can for each role

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Wow. Thank you for that. It is an incredibly accomplished team and a little bit of kismet got you all together it appears.

    Heroes Chained (HC) as everyone knows is a fantasy RPG action game where the goal of the player is to become a Guild Master and gather heroes. Can you please tell us about the game setting and elaborate on the game mechanics from a player perspective?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Heroes Chained (HC) is a fantasy action RPG game where the player becomes a Guild Master and gathers heroes. It introduces the “Play And Earn” concept to GameFi, challenging “Play To Earn”. It starts the “game first for GameFi” meme.

    The fantasy world of Ventuna, which is home to many races and lands, has been ravaged by the Dark Lord Oblivion and his champions. In a last stance to fight back, all the races gathered together and created the biggest city to be known in all history, ‘Last Hope’. Behind her walls, the city is able to sustain the many races and protect them from the Dark Lord Oblivion’s reach and influence. Outside the walls; the further you go, the more it takes.

    Players own a ‘Guild’ and gather heroes, compete against others, and complete missions to become the ultimate guild in the city of Last Hope! Players can PvE by sending their heroes beyond the walls of the city, to defeat enemies found roaming the map, uncover nodes and buy the land to claim them, find dungeons and claim artifacts, complete missions. PvP elements include Guild vs Guild or Team vs Team by creating alliances between guilds allowing for Tournaments and Leagues (official or unofficial).

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Thank you for the comprehensive answer.

    Heroes Chained is branded as the game to challenge the ‘Play to Earn’ concept and instead introduces the ‘Play And Earn’ notion. Can you explain to us where this idea came from, how it is different from the norm, and how it fits within the game ecosystem?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We started the project looking for an answer to the question where do you find the money to pay gamers when the hype is gone in play-to-earn. We have over 3 billion real gamers in the world willing to pay 200 billion dollars a year. So the answer is we have to develop a game that players love to play. Game-first. That is why we introduced play and earn as an alternative to the play-to-earn approach. That is why we created a team with great AAA game development experience.

    Heroes Chained is one of the best doxed teams in crypto. I recommend people to check the team section on our website. Mev Dinc, our Executive producer, has developed award winning games for his studio, Activision, Ubisoft, Nintendo, etc. Onur Cayli has created the White Walkers race for Game of Thrones, and did the same for The Amazing Spider Man, Terminator Genisys, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Antman, Man in Black 3, Marvel vs Capcom, Sonic, etc. We aim to be the Blizzard of GameFi.

    By the way, our blockchain team won the Avalanche Hackathon. So we are equally strong there.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Will take a moment to take this in

    Congratulations on that. Not something you’d normally associate with a gaming project so big props for it.

    Even as an action RPG game there are several other blockchain-games out there. What would you say sets Heroes Chained apart from the competition? What are its key, unique features and how do these features work together to put HC up in the league?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Let me repeat that our team is outstanding even among the most prominent GameFi projects out there. We are visual animals unlike dogs. On the visual effects, animation and 3d modelling, we aim to lead the sector. We have Onur who has created the White Walkers race for Game of Thrones, remember. Just check the testimonials on our key team members, please

    That being said, we develop both mobile and PC clients. Our default mode is self-custody wallets but for the non-coiners out there we develop a custodial wallet option. It is automatically installed, configured and integrated to the game UI. We are trying to make it fiat friendly as well. We really want to help blockchain mass adoption via play-and-earn. We are also working on a module to help them learn blockchain at their own pace.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Agreed. I don’t think there’s been anything like your team in the space yet. It is nonpareil.

    With such a diverse theme, backgrounds and races that the world of Ventuna offers, I’m sure there’s a lot planned. What does the long-term vision for HC look like, and what steps have you taken (or are planning to take) to ensure this long-term vision is attained?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    With our great team we plan to create this fantastic Middle Earth world of Ventuna and develop better and better gaming experience on it. expansion packs and in many aspects of game play. We want to be the Blizzard of GameFi and the best way to secure it is to gather the team. There is no shortcut.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Well kudos! One major element of the game besides the ‘Play and Earn’ feature is the NFTs artwork. Can you expand on that, in particular how these in-game assets aim to stimulate the game economy?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We have two types of NTF’s. First NFT’s with utility. These have utility in game mechanics. Hadron Glove is a good example. When your hero wears it it increases unarmed attack, defense against melee attack etc. With the team we have we also want to introduce high quality artworks to those NFT’s. I suggest people to check our Hadron Glove video. On the other hand we will also have NFT’s of artworks, thanks to our great artists. Some NFT artwork items will have cosmetic utility in the game as well. NFT’s will also have DeFi and staking yields

    This is where Avalanche eco system is strong

    we are talking to great DeFi apps on Avalanche to increase passive income for our token and NFT holders

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    With a gaming experience like yours and these benefits, it is indeed a potent combo.

    Anybody looking at the litepaper or skimming through the website will determine that Heroes Chained is supported by strong backers. Are there plans for any future alliances with or without their presence in the gaming space?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We are open to collaboration. So far we have a strong backer team. Also with a great variety. We have t1 mainnet, t1 exchange vc, t1 launchpad, guilds, daos, defi experts, long term vc’s with concrete contributions. It is expanding. Any partner that can contribute to our project is welcome. In the short term we are talking DeFi apps on Avalanche. In the long term interoperability among GameFi metaverses, multi-chain support are in the vision.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    As with all games, Heroes Chained has an in-game currency based around the HeC token. Can you tell us about its utility, and how it is designed to serve its holders?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    First of all, we are play-and-earn not play-to-earn. We are game first, fun first. We also use the same NFT and token mechanisms of play-to-earn. So, earning part is similar. Everything valuable is in the form of NFTs. Heroes, Land, Guild, Caravan, items, spells, cards, decks, etc. We have PvP modes inside the city, and PvE outside the city. In active income you can battle in the arena, leagues and tournaments (official and unofficial organized by the players). Arena rewarding depending on the player arena rank. We have royal event winners at the Royal Palace. Open contracts where you undertake quests and missions.

    You craft gear, and materials from lower tier resources which you can sell on business plots inside the city. This helps buyers save time and effort. You can use your gear and resources yourself as well. For passive and semi-passive income, you explore outside the city walls and find chests, rare NFT items, and resources. You do dungeons for looting items and tokens. We have puzzle dungeons as well. Battles against NPC enemies. You can stake your coins and NFTs for defi yielding and income. We are working closely with DEXes and DeFi partners for integrations. Compounding and yield farming. You can own business lots in the city. Business lots are where you can sell your crafted gear etc. You can rent your business plots to other to get fees. You can own land outside the city and whenever a gamer gets an income on that land you can get fees. In brief it is a metaverse mimicking the real economy. But since it is fun the economy is sustainable.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    The “play and earn” distinction is noted and will certainly reveal itself more with time.

    I have to say, this game is sounding more and more awesome. Related to the roadmap, there are a number of exciting targets to hit along the way, including the beta release and the NFT marketplace. Which of these milestones are you most excited about?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    IDO is next Monday you know. Then we will have our beta release at the end of Q2. It will be very exciting. We have fair drop for our beta testers. And a Bounty program for bug reports and successful proposals. Collaborating with them will be awesome. Until that time we will have NFT Sales rounds. We will first sell a unique hero race NFT’s, a race you can’t buy or earn in the game. They will have some privileges. Then we will start selling land. Selling land from the Ventuna world is so exciting. Our full release will be towards the end of Q3. And then comes expansion pack release. RPG games never stop expanding, you know.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    A CTO’s work is never done 😄

    And a final question before we move on to the twitter section of the program — are there any last points you’d like to discuss, or share with the Avalaunch community?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We thank the Avalaunch team so much for the support you have given us so far. We saw the people first approach and take it as a role model. This is how you get the amazing community you have. Proud to be a part of it

    And i have to tell you that everyone in the whole eco system respects the Avalaunch team. It is a reference in the space

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Likewise. Congratulations for completing the first leg of your AMA journey on Avalaunch and on the grander scale, we are very happy to be supporting you as you all makes us look good 😃

    Twitter Questions

    @tieuphung98 I believe the whole space will experience huge growth in the upcoming years — what role do you imagine Heroes Chained playing in this?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We definitely agree that the crypto market will continue to grow and tokens, particularly in gaming are the glue that bonds a project to its audience. We believe that we are a seminal project that will hopefully act as a template for future games. It is not enough to provide rewards; the user experience must be state-of-the-art and the storylines must be truly thoughtful for the space to thrive.

    @borz_yaroslava — At the moment, all tokens go down in price even with working products and great fundamentals. Do you see it as an opportunity to develop more quietly and gain momentum or is this a strategy you have in mind?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Good question. I’d say yes and no. Crypto is volatile as it is new and markets love certainty. What we are certain of is our ability to deliver a truly unparalleled gaming experience and that is always our focus, regardless of market conditions. That said, being blind to the market conditions is irresponsible to our community so I’d say that you have achieve a balance between the two and a quiet market can give an opportunity to focus a little more but it is not something we are counting on.

    Our team comes from the conventional gaming industry. The rules of the gaming industry helps here. No matter what keep developing a great game first.

    @ganimat_p — Heroes Chained is currently going well and receiving positive attention. What are your plans to sustain momentum after the launch?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    If you visit our roadmap you will see how everything from the token unlocks to the market center around the launch of the game. We already have an active community and will continue to grow that and raise awareness through additional channels as we gear up for our launch. We plan to launch our NFT Sales until beta release. First unique race heroes, than land sales. we started with a teaser. Then we will be releasing the game play videos, Characters and pieces from the game. Step by step.

    Then we have really good Central exchanges we have been talking to. We will be onboarding them with good timing.

    I am talking about really good global exchanges.

    this is 5 months till the beta release.

    @ehlers_magda — While you build your project, do you take into account community feedback and requests?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Yes, absolutely. One thing every web2 game developer knows is that they are only as good as their users and audience. This is who build for and we must consider feedback if we are to optimize the user experience. This is often overlooked by projects but it is mission critical in everything we do. We have been outside the stealth mode for a little over a month maybe but we have over 40 K followers on twitter. Our telegram and discord is so rich for a starter. We have been listening to our members so far

    We have decided the whitelist listening to them for example

    Mev Dinc has developed globally award winning games over and over again. He developed IKV the MMORPG of Turkey, active for 15 years despite being acquired by Turkish Telekom and later being abandoned

    It was the gamers community that kept IKV alive.

    So Mev Dinc and the team know how to build a gaming community.

    Blockchain is all about community, gaming is all about community and our team is experienced on both

    Guilds are the organic DAOs.

    It is unfortunate that some projects are halfway through because developers abandon the concept because they are not able to raise the desired capital in the long run; How do you plan to make this project sustainable for its development?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Our project is very ambitious and requires a great team. we will have raised around 5 million dollars with the IDO including all previous rounds. This is a very good amount. Plus the team is the owner of the game like the gamers. It is our mission. If you check the team members they achieved great levels of success in their careers. And we doxed ourselves fully. We put our names on it. We have to succeed first to achieve our mission to revolutionize GameFi and second to honor our careers

    Could you name some of your partners? What are the benefits that you get from them? And is there any partnership that will be established in near future?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Our leading partner is Avalanche. We were impressed by the Solana — Star Atlas model. And the community voted a big yes on it. Also we have innovative ideas which requires deep technical collaboration with the mainnet team. Avalaunch has been more than a launchpad. Sharing with all the expertise and experience. OKEx Ventures brings the strength and approach of a T1 Exchange. We have many guilds. Good Games Guild, We have e-port teams, classical game guilds, DAOs and communities from our ecosystem. DeFi experts. We have VC’s with concrete contributions and that are here for the long term. Kyros helps so much for Vietnam for example. All the other partners are great. As said we are open to more guilds, multi chain and metaverse interoperability partners

    There aren’t many fantastic video games on Avalanche, So Why Did Your Team choose Avalanche? What variety of upgrades can be achieved by severing the Avalanche? What are the benefits of the Avalanche network for Heroes Chained?

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    That question has been asked several times. We believe in L1 for true decentralization. We believe Avalanche and Solana are the best two for our purposes. We studied them in more detail. We aimed for the Solana — Star Atlas model, in which the mainnet and the game project work closely. We contacted two mainnet. Both Solana Labs and Ava Labs responded positively. We chose Avalanche. We believe we would mean more to Avalanche as the flagship game-fi project on the mainnet. We believe with the game-fi subnets, Avalanche transaction fees will be lower and high capacity will be dedicated to the game(s) on the subnet with good parameters. Our technical team and Avalabs have a good communication which will increase with GameFi Subnet we are working on. With the Avalanche hackathon championship we have closer contacts with the leadership. We are impressed by the transaction speed of Avalanche. The time it takes from request to commitment on the ledger is the fastest we have seen on Avalanche. The capacity is also amazing. 4500 TPS. Also, the API is very developer friendly, which is super important. In the long term, I would bet on mainnet where the developers go. So, I am bullish on Avalanche in the long run. However, you are right Avalanche is not as strong as Solana, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, etc. on GameFi, and we all need to work hard to get Avalanche to where it technically deserves.

    Do you have any plans to attract non-crypto investors to join your project? Because the success of a project attracts more investors who haven’t yet entered the crypto world. What are the plans to raise awareness about your project in the non-crypto space.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    We are lucky to have the team from the non-crypto traditional gaming industry. They know the marketing and community building there. But we must build accly. We also develop custodial wallet support option for them. Automatically installed and configured. Key recovery, fiat friendly to make an easy start for them. That said, I believe the space is occupied enough to stand on its own. There are any number of sizable cryptos entirely supported by crypto users. That said, we must evolve as well. The web3 is to be for everyone and making this transition as seamless as possible is necessary. For us, we champion the cause of a great gaming experience as our top priority and most certainly, this will be pivotal in onboarding “normie” users.

    To start playing “Heroes Chained”, how much money do I need? Is it required that I have NFT characters or a specific number of $HEC Token’s?❤️

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    You have the free to play option to start our game. You start with common heroes and a common Guild. You can play and gain experience. But you may get NFT’s and tokens for resources etc. to speed up going to higher rankings. Like in all rig’s we have a ranking system. Heroes of similar ranks tend to match. And you tend to go to territories that fit your ranking. So you can buy to save time and also for cosmetic reasons, and collectibles. But we don’t have the high barrier we see in play-to-earn like Axie. Remember we are not p2e but p&e

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Play and Earn FTW!

    You’ve done it. A sincere thanks from us and our community. It was truly special to have you and to be aligned with such a great team and project. It is very much appreciated.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    It is interesting that great games are free to play and poor games of p2e have a high entry barrier.

    One last words

    Please google super rational attack to see my article on the Cryptography mail list

    I am working on a consensus mechanism called proof of turning (POT) an alternative to POS and POW. In POT gamers’ game play as detected by other gamers fuel the consensus anti sybil mechanism

    In POT the billion dollar transaction fees go to Gamers, not the miners.

    That s long term vision on the subnet we are trying to build.

    We are gamers. We are guild. We secure the metaverse we drive, we get the transaction fees.

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    A new consensus protocol…isn’t that how Avalanche got started? 😃 It’s great to have you in this ecosystem. Innovating and fostering growth. We very much look forward to Heroes Chained and the stir and change it’s going to create.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    Thanks

    POT can run under Avalanche

    So it is technically possible to have an Avalanche GameFi Subnet running on POT

    Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

    Understood. It’s just a nod to the innovation that brought us all here and the continued evolution on our base chain.

    Ersin Taskin| Heroes Chained

    All the Defi and every transactions happening there will send transaction fees to gamers. And it is very efficient and secure

    thanks
