On 11/05/2021 at 12:00 p.m (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest Fuji102x, CTO of Crabada . Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

Hello and welcome everyone to our 2nd epic discussion/AMA with Team Crabada. Today we will get down to the nitty gritty, the brass tacks, to where the still waters run deep by performing a more technically specific AMA with none other than @fuji102x Welcome, how are you today?

Fuji | Crabada

Hi everyone, it’s a good day, we’re working hard.

Very nice to be here today, thanks for hanging out.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

I’ll bet. Appreciate you taking some time out to be here with us today.

Fuji | Crabada

Cheers. Let’s not make the people wait — getting right into it and to ease us in, why don’t we start by having you introduce yourself? Tell us a little bit about your background and what led you to be working in the explosive blockchain gaming industry?

Since I was a student, I was already farming in-game on some games. It was always quite difficult to cash out, and I mainly did it via p2p just like how bitcoin was in the early days.

I have been working in the blockchain space since 2016 including designing and implementing the very first backend system of a leading crypto wallet. In 2018, l wanted to make a game based on CryptoKittens because I couldn’t do anything with my collection.

Since then I have been trying out many blockchain games due to curiosity and following extra closely during the covid pandemic when we shifted to a remote-first world. I felt that the games out there were not really entertaining so that made me want to work on a game project to bring something new to gamers and players.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

A solid background to be where you are — sounds like manifest destiny. Was Crabada always going to be built on the blockchain, or was this something that became obvious over time?

Fuji | Crabada

Actually, yes it was going to be built on the blockchain from the start. Working in the space since 2016, I saw how the space grew and it had a pretty big impact on the community around me. This laid the foundation for some of our plans.

Our team’s background was across working in various roles on blockchain applications. We wanted to apply what we knew was possible to something we were all passionate about which was gaming.

So we planned for it to be built on the blockchain from the start.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

From the development point of view, what part of building Crabada was the most challenging and would this still have been a challenge at all, had you been building in the traditional game ecosystem as opposed to building on the blockchain?

Fuji | Crabada

It’s been pretty smooth so far, but I would say the top priority for us now in terms of development is growing the team.

We have really great talent currently, but we are still actively looking to grow our team in order to build out our roadmap. It could definitely go faster with more hands on deck. So that’s the key priority now. We need more blockchain developers.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

Pretty smooth so far…you don’t hear that very often 😄

What about Avalanche’s architecture makes Crabada possible here, and not on other chains. What issues related to scalability have you faced and tackled?

Fuji | Crabada

We’re just very lucky, we have incredible team supporting us.

The Snowman consensus model allows blocks to be confirmed with finality and much quicker than most L1s.

It does not suffer from blockchain reorganization which can potentially lead to bad user experience.

It’s also highly scalable and it’s hard to foresee congestion issues happening as of yet, especially with Apricot Phase 4 Snowman ++ has improvements that address MEV issues that lead to congestion.

It’s overall a really good chain to build on.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

Appreciate that. Here’s a question that users may not recognize the implications of just yet…Do you have any plans to develop on a subnet? What applications make sense for a blockchain-based game and gaming ecosystem?

Fuji | Crabada

Definitely, it’s already in the works. This was also one of the reasons why we wanted to build on Avalanche.

We plan to launch a zero-fees gaming blockchain — initially for our own use and later extend it to other games.

The first step would be to migrate the idle game in Q1 2022. Subsequently, we will launch the Battle Game on it, also planned for Q1 2022.

We think that a persistent game identity, like a player profile that can be brought across different games on our gaming blockchain is an area that we want to explore in the long run.

We believe that there is vast potential in the future for zero-gas gaming and foresee the opportunity to bring over other on-chain games or even port over traditional games that are not on the blockchain yet. So this is something that we are really excited to work towards.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

That’s a Great plan!

What parts of Crabada live on-chain, and conversely, off-chain? Can you talk about the thinking around this and how the end result services the vision?

Fuji | Crabada

Important data will always be stored on-chain. For example, Crabada pets, other game assets, tokens, battle proof, etc. The other stuff like images, audio, game details are stored off-chain.
We use the hybrid model to reduce on-chain activities but still keep the game transparent.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

How big is the development team, and how many developers are dedicated to building Crabada?

Fuji | Crabada

Currently we’re at about 12 members, but we’re trying to grow to a team size of around 20 members. Current team consists of about 2 backend developers, 2 frontend developers, 2 smart contract developers. 2 game engineers, and 4 artists.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

you guys are well diversified in each specific area.

Can you expand on the analytical tools available on the marketplace? Are there plans in the pipeline for building more?

Fuji | Crabada

Currently the marketplace provides simple data at both transaction-level and aggregated.

For transaction-level, we show recent listings, and recent sales.

For aggregated market data, we show the total number of sales, volume done, and average price over the past 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days.

Let me quickly show a screenshot of the marketplace from the test environment now

Depending on user feedback from their experience with it, we will improve it further.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

looks interesting

How quickly do you expect these tools to be adopted? What metrics will you use to measure this success?

Fuji | Crabada

We really wanted to build something that is easy to use. We expect many users to pick it up really quickly. In terms of support, we have been putting out step-by-step user guides as well on our help portal, otherwise users can also ask in our telegram or discord chats, we have an awesome community that loves to help new users figure things out!

I think the most important metric for us would be the transaction volume of the marketplace. Aside from that we will be launching a portal for users to provide feedback directly to the team. We love to hear suggestions!

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

What approach to game security have you taken thus far? What are your biggest concerns related to vulnerabilities?

Fuji | Crabada

Security is our big concern, there are many ways to attack a game in general. We are building this project with security in mind, and all developers always apply OWASP principles in their daily work. For the blockchain part the smart contracts are undergoing audit by Verichains.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

appreciate that

What has developing on Avalanche been like for you? What has been your impression of the developer community?

Fuji | Crabada

Avalanche C-Chain is like Ethereum in the development aspect so we are familiar with all development tools and environments.

We also have experience with customizing the Go-eth(Golang Ethereum fullnode) and working with coreth to build a new game subnet is not a big problem so far.

We really need to praise the developer support for Avalanche. There are many channels for community support such as discord, reddit , meetup and even their own forum.

It’s really easy to talk to the Avalanche team and community of other developers when we have any questions. It’s been great so far.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

Final question before we move on to the twitter portion of our program — What part of the Crabada ecosystem are you particularly excited about? Which feature do you think has the most potential?

Fuji | Crabada

I’m really excited about bringing new features to players and introducing more modes of play to players. We have many ideas that we have planned, and we hope our players will enjoy growing together with us as we improve the game.

Besides this, building out the private chain and growing the Crabada ecosystem to support many games is another big goal. It’s less work on smart contracts and more on the blockchain layer, but it’s critical infrastructure that we need in order to scale.

Personally, I am very blown away by how much support we have received so far. We’re just really excited to wake up and build every single day.

Lovish Shahi | Avalaunch

We are excited too

Now let’s go ahead with the Twitter questions.

Twitter questions

@trinhcrypto1997 — Traditional gaming industry are inconvenient for game management. How will blockchain technology in combination with Crabada Play-and-earn model solve this issues?

Fuji | Crabada

Just to cover the technical implementation part, in our first implementation that is more or less fully on-chain, there’s less development tasks and infrastructure that needs to be built.

Instead of building a login flow, you can do an integration with metamask. Instead of payment integration, you can rely on the blockchain to track transactions.

You also don’t require complicated architecture for database solutions to track game assets and transactions since blockchain will handle that for you. And of course, the blockchain handles the infrastructure and security as well.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

I’d like to thank @shahi297 for his interim hosting. I’ll be taking the reins from here. So, infrastructure, security and simplicity…can’t ask for more from the blockchain. Next up is from @LukasDuong1 — How can you ensure that gamers and Crabada have a long-term relationship? Do you have any tax or staking system?

Fuji | Crabada

We have our own native marketplace that charges a small transaction fee. Within the game, renting Crabada from the Tavern from other players also incurs a small fee. These fees will go to the treasury for CRA holders to manage. This approach would be sustainable long term to us as game makers as well as game players without suffering from power creep seen in traditional games.

We will implement staking about two weeks after launch. Staking initially provides benefits for investors to get involved with the game. Eg, lucky draw for rare Crabada, increasing team size.

There are staking rewards set aside for CRA stakers as well.

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

Sorry to pause your roll here but what is “power creep?”

Fuji | Crabada

power creep is when a game continually introduces new skills and abilities that makes older ones seem weaker. it’s not fun for players

it also devalues older skills and abilities as a result

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

Interesting. Thanks for that. From @Elnazvera1 — What was the biggest technical challenge Crabada faced when starting to develop your project?

Fuji | Crabada

One challenge that we faced is with the parser (we are using The Graph). It does not provide enough features that we need for complicated data aggregation so we have to take additional steps to process the data before it’s ready for the database.

@jamesch8825 “Idle Crabada that are not mining or looting can still earn rewards by being deployed to the Tavern as mercenaries” Can you explain this concept?

Fuji | Crabada

We want to provide many ways to win for players. Maybe some players do not get involved directly in gameplay, and we built the Tavern for them to lend out their Crabada to miners or looters as reinforcements.

Telegram Questions

Trum Cryp

CAN you tell us about the security measures adopted by your platform? what is your project status regarding AUDIT? Are your smart contracts audited already?

Fuji | Crabada

we have cleared audit for our sales, breeding, time lock contracts. we will release the public audit soon
the game contract audit is currently underway

TONY KIEN | TRADER 💪💪

Almost 80% investors have just focused on price of token in short term instead of understanding the real value of the project. Can you tell us on motivations and benefits for investors to hold your token in long term?

Fuji | Crabada

We really want to create an investor-player class where you own the game and play the game. So we have planned many benefits for CRA stakers who play the game in addition to investing in it

Alex | GEM LOUNGE

NFT ecosystem is huge and there is fierce competition in the DeFi+NFT space Which NFT project do you see as your competitors? And how do you plan to compete with them?

Fuji | Crabada

Yep I think we will see this space continue to grow. It’s really positive when we hear about large game publishers taking an interest in blockchain gaming. Also in the play-and-earn space, I think many great projects are also in the building phase. We will stay focussed on our own mission to build a fun and sustainable game that anybody can join. Rather than see it as competition, we see it as potential partners for our zero-gas gaming chain.

Migoi | BUY THE DIP🐈🐈

What is PROJECT’s revenue model? In which ways do you generate revenue/profit?

Fuji | Crabada

Crabada generates revenue through economic transactions that happen on the platform, for example through marketplace trades, and lending and borrowing.

Ciluk_BA

As we know that every AMA program in a project, we all always talk about the advantages/pros of the features of the project. It’s rare for projects to notify about their project’s lack of features. So can you honestly tell us what your project lacks/cons in features?

Fuji | Crabada

So currently it’s a little hard for us to support guilds due to lack of scholarships. We plan to offer more support for guilds with new features in 2022. Maybe not exactly scholarships, but we believe in the value of mentorship and want to support play-together features.

On the flip side, this is an opportunity for early players!

Dave Donnenfeld | Avalaunch

A big thanks and maybe a hug (can’t speak for everyone) from the Avalaunch community. We appreciate @fuji102x taking time out from what I’m sure is a rigorous schedule and spending time with us today. Look forward to Crabada’s launch, the tavern if I haven’t mentioned, and an overall successful launch.

On 11/01/2021 at 12:00 p.m (PST), an AMA session was held on Avalaunch with special guest 0xTender, Co-Founder of Crabada . Below we present to you an excerpt from AMA with questions and answers.

---

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Welcome everyone to the Crabada AMA. Today, we’re going to do an overview of this promising project. Our esteemed guest and colleague is none other than @Oxtender an instrumental part of the Crabada team. Welcome. Are you ready to lock horns with our vibrant community?

Tender | Crabada

Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to participate, and very excited to be here today

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Our pleasure. Let’s jump right in — To begin with, please give us a bit of background on yourself. What did your career and education look like before crypto, and how did you end up focusing on blockchain gaming?

Tender | Crabada

For sure. So a quick summary is that I went down a more “traditional” route, having gone to business school and starting as a business analyst as my first job. However, as I grew in my career, I became more exposed to crypto and blockchain, having worked in product roles across both traditional and blockchain products, such as digital exchanges and cloud backup providers

As my exposure and experience in crypto grew, I became increasingly interested and passionate in the future of the space. This eventually led to my decision to start a small team to provide consultation on product and architecture for blockchain products.

As for blockchain gaming, it came about from my team’s shared passion for playing games. We were all avid gamers in our youth and these experiences stuck with us even as we began to delve into the crypto space. From this background, Crabada came about due to our desire to marry our passion for gaming with our strong conviction in the future of blockchain.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Awesome. Thank you for that. So from humble beginnings to Crabs. I like it — How did this strong technologically-minded team come together, and what was the turning point to building this Play-and-Earn game?

Tender | Crabada

We conceptualised and started working on Crabada in 2021, so there were already various role models and inspirations of what gaming on the blockchain could look like. So really we were just standing on the shoulder of giants.

Each of us were already working with EVM-based applications in different capacities, and as gamers ourselves, it seemed an interesting thing to explore.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with gaming as it is now, but using blockchain for games allows us to explore new models like play-and-earn just because of how tightly knit you can make the game and financial layer. Game assets could easily transform into financial assets frictionlessly and it opens up new modes of play that’s sustainable for game makers and players.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Play and earn is compelling…the GameFi thing is really taking.

At what point did you decide on developing on the blockchain, and how many iterations did it take before arriving at Crabada and its theme?

Tender | Crabada

For sure, it’s a really exciting space and we feel very blessed to be working on interesting problems

Right from the start, we were already planning to have our game built on the blockchain, as we were all believers in the future potential for web 3 and crypto to revolutionise the gaming industry.

We could see how the rise of decentralised applications and the growing acceptance of crypto in institutionalised settings would only continue to grow and therefore we wanted to ensure that our project would be built on the platform of the future.

Regarding the theme of Crabada, we definitely went through many iterations before eventually settling on our current concept.

We chose to use hermit crabs as game pets because they are originally creatures that were somewhat modular, they change their shells when they need to grow, and we believe that this represents our vision for a game and community that also continually evolves as they grow. While shells are the most distinguishing feature, we have expanded the concept to make all parts of Crabada modular.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Nice. Hermit crabs can live more than 30 years and I expect you all to have a long life span. 😄

From what I’ve seen there are a few unique features that sets Crabada apart from the myriad Play-and-Earn games out there. Can you talk about Crabada’s economy? How the integration of the NFTs, the native token (CRA), and the in-game currency (TUS) come together to serve the Crabada universe?

Tender | Crabada

For sure, sustainable economy is key problem we work hard on. It’s really awesome for players to play a game which you can make long-term bets on

Treasure Under Sea (or TUS) is our in-game currency and it’s used in our native marketplace from the start. Players and collectors will be able to buy and sell Crabada using TUS, and subsequently in-game items and resources will be introduced as well.

CRA, our governance token, has some innovative designs. We see potential for it to accrue value from platform use via ‘Marketplace’ and ‘Lending’ fees in the future. Most immediately it’s being planned as a membership model that makes playing Crabada more convenient and benefits players. For example, increasing the maximum team size, speeding up battles, participating in lucky draws for genesis Crabada.

It’s really about giving power to the investor-player class where you own the game and play the game!

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Why focus on an “idle game” and how does this serve the vision of the project?

Tender | Crabada

We chose an idle game concept because it’s a game mode that most people are familiar with. Time is a scarce experience and we want to create a game that can be easily picked up and learnt, but still very replayable and players feel good to invest their time in it.

We want Crabada to be played by anyone, anytime and anywhere. Learning how to play is relatively easy, and it’s not disruptive to everyday activities. Heck, we want players to play Crabada alongside other games as well

For our next game, ‘Battle Game’, we still retain idle game elements and also bring in more complex battle dynamics, and nation-building concepts into the game. Still want to keep the barrier to entry low, but also give players interesting problems to solve and provide many ways to win.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Props to Crabada for some really sophisticated art and game design. I am curious what the process of creating such a unique world looks like.

Tender | Crabada

We’re really glad that you enjoy them!

Regarding how this all came about, it was definitely a team effort, with everyone pitching in to help ideate, refine, and then challenge the various themes that would influence the art and game design. Through this iterative process, we slowly built up the game’s visual aspect to what it is today. Special thanks has to go to our lead artist Min, who sacrificed many nights of sleep to build out Crabada visually, through his amazing talent to translate our ideas into art.

We explored various themes around the different classes of Crabada. We really just wanted to have fun with it, and I think this energy was transmuted into some interesting ideas, for example, there’s a class that consists of blockchain networks crabs, which is really distinct and people really seem to love.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Ha. Having looked at the Roadmap, I noticed that there are quite a few features that unlock after the launch. Can you cover some of these briefly, and what the token holders should be expecting within the first 6 months or so?

Tender | Crabada

After the token distribution events, it will be followed by our special breeding event for IDO participants and early supporters, where we reward them with the special opportunity to breed the original supply of crabs in Crabada!

After that, the next major milestone for us will be the launch of our idle game on the 15th November, supported on web browsers. Once the launch has successfully stabilised, we plan to release support for mobile browsers, in order to allow our players to enjoy Crabada on their mobile devices.

Subsequent to the launching of our idle game, we will continually roll out more exciting events and features for players, such as mining zones where players can mine faction resources that will be a key part of our eventual battle game mode.

We are also preparing to introduce staking in a few weeks after the launch, which will allow players to access staking benefits and further support the development and growth of the Crabada community.

Lastly, looking ahead to 2022, we are preparing for the launch of our cross-platform battle game mode sometime around March. I think players can look forward to more complex battle mechanics, great in-game battles where Crabs display their amazing array of skills, and exploration of the ancient Kingdom of Crabada via PvE

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Wow. That is packed roadmap and a lot in the near term. Very impressive. The space has come a long way since raising money for a mainnet to be named later. I’ll put November 15th in my calendar and have an eye out for staking.

Is there anything that you can reveal at this time, about the long-term vision of the Crabada kingdom, does it expand beyond minting, breeding, looting and battling features?

Tender | Crabada

At the present, we have planned out our roadmap with a 1.5 year runway. We have already made plans to introduce more competitive features to the game such as PVP tournaments, as well as social elements such as in-game guilds, claims and play-together with friends

While it is still early days, in the future we plan to expand the Crabada universe by branching out to other genres, like Tower Defence, or by allowing our crabs to be used in other games that cater to a wider variety of gamers.

We believe that there is vast potential in the future for zero-gas gaming and foresee the opportunity to bring over other on-chain games or even port over traditional games that are not on the blockchain yet. So this is something that we are really excited to work towards.

Lastly, while these are still early days we see great value in the potential of creating a metaverse for the fans and players in our Crabada ecosystem. With the growing adoption of technology across every aspect of our lives, we hope that one day we will be able to provide members of our community with an ecosystem where people can potentially use their Crabada avatars to explore virtual worlds and interact with their friends, trade NFTs, and enjoy a multitude of services all from one single unified Crabada platform

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

There’s that word…Metaverse

This is indeed a very exciting time to be building on Avalanche. Since Crabada will be the first (hopefully of many) Play-and-Earn games building on this blockchain, I wonder what were the critical factors that determined building the project in this community?

Tender | Crabada

One of the really key factors that drew the team toward building on Avalanche was the overwhelming community support that we were receiving. When the project idea was first conceptualized, our team did extensive research on which ecosystem would be best to launch the game on. We were quite blown away by how warm and welcoming the Avalanche community was. Shoutout to Avalaunch (of course), Ava Labs, TraderJoe, Avaxholic and everyone’s favourite — CederNets

Another key factor for consideration were the transaction speeds and gas fees of L1 chains. With Crabada being a play-and-earn game, our main priority was to provide players with the best on-chain gaming experience possible, especially for our initial idle-game phase where we were going to be pretty reliant on on-chain transactions for game actions.

The transactions needed to be quick and affordable. Avalanche is — quote-unquote “Blazingly Fast and Low Cost” which was exactly what we needed. Additionally, the Apricot Phase Three upgrade couldn’t have come at a better time for us, where C-Chain fees were essentially being reduced by up to a whooping 66%. That was just really great news for us, and the Avalanche community itself. 😍

So I think from there, we were kinda fixated on the idea of having Avalanche as the home-base for the Crabada-verse.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

The old Apricot Phase Three upgrade in the nick of time.

That’s something you don’t hear every day

Tender | Crabada

We like the Apricot

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Finally, 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?

Tender | Crabada

Our vision is simply to create a game that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere, at any time. We are extremely excited to build towards a game that will not only be enjoyed by crypto natives, but also by the masses. We hope that everyone here is as excited as we are, and to work claw-in-claw towards bringing the GameFi revolution to new heights.

Remember, wake up and like the crabs. Are you ready for the Crabalanche? 🦀🦀🦀🦀

Twitter questions

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

I am ready. My body is also ready. NGL, that was a pretty epic Q&A. Great stuff. First up from our supporter over on the twitter comes from @cryptoyaos who asks — we can only buy Crabada from other players after the breeding event, is that true? Will there be any other NFT sales from the team?

Tender | Crabada

Thanks for everyone who contributed questions! So many nice ones, and really feel the warmth and excitement of the Avalaunch community

So besides the initial breeding event, there’s also a lucky draw format for CRA stakers to win some Crabada. We have prepared 64 genesis Crabada in total, 10 of which will be distributed via the Special Breeding Event, and the remaining 54 will be distributed in a lucky draw format for CRA stakers.

We don’t intend to sell NFTs to players directly but instead, let players craft them. There are plans for more NFTs for the game including equipment, skill books after Battle Game is launched in Q1 2022. These will be craftable by players!

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

They are not always so warm but they are awesome and seem to be quiet and listening to you. Muting the channel helps as well with this. Question 2 from Twitter — @dydd2020 The project slogan is “Play with Earn,” i want to know how do you keep the balance between the play and earn?

Tender | Crabada

Good question — we chose the term “play-and-earn” instead of “play-to-earn” to further embody our vision for Crabada to allow users to have a gaming experience first, and a crypto experience second. It’s really an ethos for us

We want to make an inclusive game that welcomes people from all walks of life, even those who are not invested in crypto full time but are interested in an enjoyable game experience with the added potential of monetizing their effort.

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

You had me at “Crafted by players.” @AdcDavidtai1999 You are Planning to Launch the BETA VERSION
of the Crabada So that Many players Like me Can test and Overview this Exciting Platform?

Tender | Crabada

Ok short answer — Currently, yes, we will consider open beta for the Battle game in Q1 2022, but currently no fixed date for it yet. We’re really excited to get it into the hands of players!

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

@M31Em In explaining it you mention it as an idle game.. which in game currency would you be earning while idle.. or is it both?

Tender | Crabada

Players will be earning primarily TUS from the games. Also when we launch a new game mode, we set aside some CRA incentives for it, so players will be earning both CRA and TUS when we launch the idle game. We always want to reward players for trying new things! 😇😇

Dave Donnenfeld| Avalaunch

Final question from Twitter before we release the Kraken and let you pick 5 magical questions from our enchanting community. @IvaniWu01 What characteristics differentiates Crabada from other P2Eearn project & what is the strategy to follow in order to position itself in the market and offer confidence, solidity & profitability in an innovative and creative way & not disappear sooner than desired?

Tender | Crabada

Will preface this by saying that building gaming with a blockchain layer is still a very new and interesting problem. There’s not really a playbook here. While we can come in with our hypothesis and models, we are prepared for iterations and experiments alongside our players. Shoutout to 0xRyze from Cryptoraiders for being a true fren of Crabada and helping us along the way

One interesting problem we give players to solve is around nation building / community building. We start to introduce factions early on after launch, as a taster for more faction mechanics in the Battle Game (Q1 2022). We want to give players the option to align themselves with certain factions and contribute to the overall faction, while not overly restricting modes of play. So I think factions have potential to become a core mechanic, let’s see.

Economy is also an interesting topic. How to create an economy that does not overly rely on new players coming in to support it. On one hand, we have to compete with other games that promise endless rewards, but we believe in building a sustainable game that can stand the test of time.

With the battle game, we will implement a trifecta of inflation-reducing mechanics including fusing NFTs, using game NFTs as ingredients, and battle injuries with the aim of creating sustainable emissions. We want to push the boundaries a little, and hopefully take the blockchain gaming space a little further.

Telegram questions

Derry,S

What main reason that make Crabada chosen play and earn models instead click to earn, free to earn, play to earn and etc. How are the difference of play and earn that Crabada brought.

For traditional mobile games, there are limited business models, the most popular being play-to-win, where it’s not really a great experience for players who have to spend to keep up with the game. Unfortunately, the reality is that this is required for operating cost for game developers. With blockchain, we can tap into the financial layer easily, and create new and sustainable business models where players can have a good experience and at the same time, developers can cover operating costs to keep building great game features.

Ambassadors play a very important role in every project, Do you have an ambassador program? If yes, how can I be one ?

Tender | Crabada

For sure, we are planning ambassador programs. We want to empower players that do well to impart their knowledge to the community, and teach others as well. This is still in the works, but hopefully we can announce it soon!

Most of the priority of the cryptocurrency community & investors is the symbolic price. When the price of $CRA token soars/pumps, the community rejoices and grows. When the price of $CRA your token drops/dumps, many people are fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) of Crabada.

So, How do you deal with this or how do you deal with your investors panic if $CRA token price drops/dumps?
What are your plans to strengthen and grow your community & investors so that they don’t just value Crabada in terms of the price of $CRA tokens only?

Last question! We built our economy for resilience. Currently in idle game we want early adopters to earn tokens easily. With battle game, we introduce many more ways to play, and this means many more ways to win!

We really care about our players, and alot of hours have gone into designing economy to survive ‘demand shocks’, such as allowing Crabada to become ingredients like Crab soup? 🤔

I hope players will look forward to them!
