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

Hi Halil, love to see you here ,Heroes of NFT is one of my favorites, I’m glad you came 🙂

Halil | Heroes of NFT

thank you very much. it is my pleasure

yes i am ready! lets go!

Telegram Questions

Erdem Uçar

which character makes you guys very enjoyable when you were making it?

Halil | Heroes of NFT

I created Sun of Art personally. I told to my team mates, we need to add Sun of Art. He is representing group of people that under oppression and living difficulties. For me, Sun of Art is more important than any other NFT characters. He represents something. Sun of art has a soul. I love you Sun of Art!

Queen Sana

Nobody can guarantee the security of Smart contract. But Audit play an important role to find out the known bugs of smart contract. Can you tell us describe how strong is your security? Have you done an audit by any third party?

Halil | Heroes of NFT

security is our priority and our contracts have been audited by certik. I can not paste the link here. but you can make a search on certik website

Puspa Martha

Is This Your project only for elite investors, how about others with small funds, is it open to everyone?

Halil | Heroes of NFT

yes sure we have many places for every kind of investors. especially staking our nft cards with hon tokens is for small investors. we don’t believe in elitism. heroes of Nft is the project of common people.

Monsouleil

Up to now, how HeroesOfNFT team’s background and experience have been on the project’s development. How do you aim to revolutionize the blockchain and NFT and Metaverse sectors?

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.

Lovish Shahi| Avalaunch

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
