In the summer afternoon, the air was filled with a hot and humid atmosphere, as if every breath was filled with thick water vapor, making people feel suffocated. The currency circle in the swamp and the muddy village exuded a smell of corruption, mixed with the blood left by the sickle and the smell of the rotten corpse of the leek, which was disgusting.
The thick tree canopy blocked most of the sunlight, and the interior of the forest was hot and stuffy. The silent army of blockchain games was constrained by the disorganized vines and project roadmaps, and was surrounded by dense swarms of flies and blockchain game brokers, like a huge net that trapped people.
Every bright sunrise contrasts with the boredom and depression of the world. The long-suppressed FOMO rises with the sunrise, but is hit hard again. The iron chains that suppress the friction of the floor want to break free in the blazing midday, but are cooled down by the heavy dusk.
This extremely squeezed tension is silent but permeates the entire air. The frog sounds of those who have withdrawn from the circle seem to hypnotize you who are unwilling to lie dormant. But, do not walk gently into that good night. Kind people, when the last wave passes, shout out their fragile good deeds!
Luther, who is not swallowed by the financial butcher and the dark forest, must not die on the eve of dawn now. The sleepiness of midnight will paralyze your will and make you lose the keenness to seize the opportunity again. Pinch your thigh, tomorrow's big bull and Game summer are about to explode!
With Matr1x Fire taking the lead in launching the first shot of GameFi Summer coin listing, the blockchain game track has been in a turbulent stage. The blockchain game project parties are sharpening their knives and taking frequent actions, trying to break free from the seal of not being able to go online for testing, and are ready to take the baton and rush ahead at any time. However, the last depth bomb of the market, Mentougou, still exploded. Since then, there has been no more black swans, and GameFi is timely. "The bull market is definitely coming soon"!
In the preparation stage of the GameFi war that is destined to go down in history, a player with a prestigious project background, a newly born economic model, and a cart full of $3 million rushed into the top circle of blockchain games, and then stared at you and said - do you want to get rich? This is the blockchain game project I want to introduce to you today, and it has been quickly reloaded - Metacene. The project will be launched on July 28 to start the gold-making journey. From an investor's perspective, I will analyze for you why I think you must not miss the Web3 gold rush.
Prestigious project background, source of investor confidence
A strong project background is one of the thresholds to become a top chain game. Strength and pattern are directly proportional. Project parties without strength cannot get too much financing, and often cause the project to die suddenly because of some petty profits. Project parties with strong backgrounds usually have the ability and patience to expand the plate and consider longer-term development plans for the project. Metacene is one of them without any surprise. The founder of Metacene is the famous Tan Qunzhao, the former chairman of Shanda Group and one of the co-founders of Shanda Group. He has released and produced dozens of popular Web2 games, such as the famous IP "Legend of Mir 2" with a history of 20 years, as well as large-scale online games such as "Legend of Mir 2", "Dragon Nest" and "Aion". Such a powerful figure in the Web2 game world has no domineering attitude after switching to the Web3 chain game track. Metacene's important AMA will be explained by Tan Qunzhao himself. Compared with many other projects' AMAs that only send a younger brother to speak, or some teams do not even have real names, Metacene has already won at the starting line.
Metacene received a total of 15 million US dollars in financing from July 2023 to May 2024. Many friends may wonder why the project founder is so awesome, but he can only get 15 million US dollars in financing? Tan Qunzhao could only respond calmly: "I'm sorry, I have been financially independent for decades." We don't speculate too much about Tan Qunzhao's exact wealth, but he is obviously not short of money. What he lacks is Web3 resources. Therefore, we can see that many top Web3 chain game investment institutions participated in Metacene's financing, such as SevenX, Hashed, Animoca, Xterio, Spartan, etc. They can bring Metacene many Web3 resources including marketing, operation strategy, economic model design reference, project cooperation, etc., to assist Metacene's Web3 growth path.
The redesigned economic model reflects strong expectations for listing
This round of testing for Metacene is their fourth test, but they have completely reworked the economic model in the previous test. The newly designed gold system will be completely centered around the official governance token $MAK, reflecting a strong expectation of listing. Let’s first talk about why Metacene wants to redo the economic model. In the past three tests, although Metacene has gained a lot of players, the economic model in the game is more biased towards PVP (player versus player) and GVG (guild versus guild) modes, resulting in pitiful income for ordinary players, which has a great impact on the reputation of the game. Let's take a simple example. In Metacene, there is an asset called mining machines. Guilds need to put the mining machines in the mines to mine. However, guilds can attack each other's mines, so each guild needs to send people to protect their own mines. But people have to rest after all. Except for the Black Slave Guild in Southeast Asia, most guilds cannot stay online 24 hours a day. Guilds in Southeast Asia such as YGG will send people to work in three shifts online 24 hours a day to guard their own mines. At the same time, they can also take advantage of the time when guilds in other regions sleep at night to sneak attack each other's mines. Therefore, guilds in Southeast Asia have obtained far more benefits than guilds in other regions in the test. This imbalance has led to complaints from players in other regions about the game.
Therefore, in the upcoming fourth test, the design of Metacene's gold farming system is more inclined to the PVE (man-machine confrontation) mode, and at the same time introduces a model similar to the time hourglass in Bigtime - source energy. Players can activate the source energy system after the character level reaches level 35, and obtain an empty source energy core. The source energy obtained by players in the game will be collected in this core. After the source energy in the core is full, players can cast the core into an NFT on the chain, and then burn the NFT to obtain $MAK tokens. In addition to source energy, in-game gold farming can also obtain equipment NFTs, but equipment NFTs are also for players to increase their combat power to obtain more source energy. In other words, like Bigtime, if Metacene's economic model flywheel wants to work, it must allow this group of players to make full profits. Metacene, which temporarily lacks internal player roles and level games, must need $MAK tokens to take over in the secondary market. If it only relies on the expectation of a token airdrop and does not go on the exchange for a long time, this economic model will be difficult to maintain.
Therefore, I estimate that the $MAK token will most likely have a TGE in September or October (no inside information, all speculation), and then create a wealth effect by winning people over with the increase in price, making the flywheel run in the positive direction. Then this test will definitely be the last boarding moment before Metacene takes off, and we will be the first group of people to reap the Metacene dividends.
Dual Token Model, Beyond Bigtime
The dual-token model designed by Metacene increases the market game points, solves the problem of the single economic model of Bigtime, and ensures the reliability of the Metacene economic model. As we all know, Bigtime is the trumpeter of the blockchain game track in this round of bull market. Relying on the bull market from October last year to March this year, it still attracted a large number of players and funds in the months after the official version of the game was launched. However, due to the single economic model, the market has been declining since March, which directly affected Bigtime’s gold-making income, causing the entire project to fall silent. Later, blockchain game project parties began to optimize on the basis of the Bigtime economic model, and evolved into a wide variety of complex economic models. Metacene is also one of them. On top of the Bigtime time hourglass system, a dual-token game was added. So how did this game come about?
Metacene's dual tokens are the parent token $MAK and the child token $MUD. Both tokens will be traded on the chain. $MAK can be used to purchase assets including PVP tickets, advanced materials, project dividend rights, etc., with a total of 1 billion tokens. $MUD is used to purchase NFT assets such as weapons and equipment in the game to enhance the character's combat power. There is no upper limit on the total amount. Players can directly use U to recharge, and the price is 0.01u/coin. When the energy core is fully stored, players have two choices. One is to cast the energy core into an on-chain NFT to exchange for $MAK tokens. The other is to directly exchange it for $MUD tokens on the in-game exchange. If the official adjusts the exchange ratio of these two methods in real time, there will be a bargaining point (the following is my speculation, the specific operation depends on whether the project party does this): 1. When the $MAK token shows a healthy and stable upward trend in the secondary market, the official can increase or maintain the originally set exchange rate between energy and $MAK, so as to ensure that participating players have sufficient gold-making income and effectively eliminate the NFT equipment bubble in the game; 2. When the $MAK token shows a continuous downward trend in the secondary market, the official can increase the exchange rate between energy and $MUD, or lower the exchange rate with $MAK, so as to encourage more players to choose to exchange $MUD tokens to purchase NFT equipment to improve combat effectiveness and reduce the output and selling pressure of $MAK.
Through this model, Metacene can avoid entering a death spiral like Bigtime when the market falls. In addition, Metacene also announced that it will use 30% of the total project profit to continuously repurchase $MAK tokens, further ensuring the stability of Metacene's economic model.
High profit expectations and release of asset liquidity Metacene has prepared $3 million worth of rewards for everyone to share in this test, including $MAK tokens and various NFTs. In addition, Mantle has prepared an additional 200,000 $MNT token rewards for Metacene's test. According to the current price of 0.85u, it is worth $170,000. That is to say, the total prize pool of Metacene's gold rush has reached an astonishing $3.17 million. At the same time, due to the strong expectation of the token's recent launch, players' funds can be released from NFTs in a short time. Compared with other projects with no end in sight for coin issuance, the investment risk and capital occupancy rate are greatly reduced.
The above arguments are the underlying reasons why VGG is optimistic about and decided to enter Metacene. We believe and expect Metacene to bring a gold rush with great wealth effect to the market. Then let’s take a look at how players at different levels earn profits: Krypton Gold Players or Studios:
1. Man Card (VGG already holds multiple Man Cards. Welcome everyone to join our TG community so that you can join our guild after the server is launched.
Man Card is Metacene's Genesis NFT series, which is the core asset of this test, with a total of 500. Man Card holders can obtain the following privileges and rewards:
An additional 4% basic reward based on the leaderboard, which can be continuously superimposed
Get a free Energy Core and a 20% bonus to the collection speed of the Energy Core
7-Day Character Double Experience Card
Exclusive aircraft NFT
The guild created by the Man Card holder has its own exclusive guild boss, while ordinary guilds can only fight for a limited number of bosses.
Maximum airdrop weight
2. Treasure Box (staking mining)
Treasure Box is Metacene's mining asset, with a total of 2,997. After staking it, you can get stable mining rewards, including $MUD, $MAK, and in-game equipment NFTs. This series of NFTs cannot be used to make gold in the game and has no auxiliary effect on gold making.
3. Weapons, equipment, and fashion NFTs
Weapons have the greatest impact on the character’s combat power. NFTs such as equipment and fashion can provide numerical bonuses for source energy acquisition. They are essential assets for making money and can be purchased in the game through $MUD.
4. Mining Machine
Mining machines can be used to mine ores, which will produce source energy and source iron. Source iron is a material used to upgrade skills and strengthen weapons.
Zero-player:
1. You can obtain in-game materials by defeating bosses, and you may also get equipment NFTs, which can be sold in the in-game market and exchanged for $MUD. You can wait for $MUD to be listed on dex and then sell it to earn profits;
2. Arrest the big dog owner. There is a chance that the equipment of the player will drop after being killed in the game.
