If you’ve been following our channels, you’ve heard an awful lot about our Arena Genesis NFTs lately. But you know what else is emerging from the Fog right now? Launchpads. We’ve had a few already and we have quite a few more scheduled for the weeks ahead. Let’s dive into what that means for the project and for our magical $WZRD token.
What Is a Launchpad?
Some might be labeled “FlashLaunch” or “IGO” but, fundamentally, it’s a pre-sale of our Wizardia tokens. It’s an opportunity for investors and early supporters of the project to secure some of our $WZRD tokens now and, of course, at very favourable prices. (More on why the tokens will be useful later, but let’s just say that they’re the core utility token and in-game currency of the Wizardia game and its future metaverse.)
If you don’t already have it in your calendar: the next three weeks are the time to buy as an early investor. One thing to note in there: IEO listing is on March 24 on Gate.io.
IEO 24th of March
As ever, we’ll post a step-by-step guide on how you can participate here on our Medium too. Each Launchpad has its own rules about exactly how you can join the sales, but we’ll let you know at least a few days beforehand if you need to get whitelisted if the platform gives preferential access based on token staking, etc.
Why are we releasing our tokens staggered out across all of these different Launchpads? It’s important for us to reach a wide variety of interested investors and to make sure everyone who’s interested gets a bite of the apple. It’s important to note that there is a token vesting schedule, to provide security to early investors as well as ensuring price stability after the TGE, as explained below:
Why Buy (and Hold) $WZRD?
The key point from our perspective is that we’re building an awesome game and these tokens (as well as our beautiful NFTs) are at the very heart of its crypto economy. A total of 300 million tokens will be minted cross-chain on the Solana network (SOL) and Binance Smart Chain ($BSC). As of April 5th 2022, 7,740,000 WZRD are distributed and circulating in the market. Around the time of our TGE, we’ll launch a staking system on our website, offering generous rewards for token holders who wish to hold onto their $WZRD.
Token Utility in Wizardia
Of course, some will keep hold of $WZRD tokens as an investment in our project’s future. But it’s also important to get an idea of how they’ll practically contribute to our game economy, flowing between in-game institutions and back and forth among players. We can look at two distinct sets of use cases. First up, Player to player transactions:
- Players can buy and sell resources, primarily won in the Arena, to other players in exchange for $WZRD tokens
- Players can wager on PvP Arena battles and win/lose $WZRD tokens
- Players can buy, sell and rent Wizard NFTs between players in exchange for $WZRD tokens
- Players can spend $WZRD to summon (mint) new Wizard NFTs
- Players can buy and sell other NFTs items (introduced in the future) to other players in exchange for $WZRD tokens
- Players can buy and sell Artifacts/consumables to other players
- Players can spend $WZRD tokens to craft Artifacts/consumables
The second use case is Player to vault (to player) transactions. These could include:
- Players who own Arena Genesis NFTs earn passive royalties in the form of $WZRD tokens (a share of Arena transaction revenue)
- Players pay an entrance free in $WZRD to participate in Tournaments
- Players receive $WZRD tokens as rewards for Tournament wins
- Players receive $WZRD rewards for staking $WZRD tokens
Wizardia’s Launchpad Schedule
We’re not giving away everything all at once, but so far we’ve been part of three Launchpads as part of our Private and Community rounds. Our first Launchpad, with SuperLauncher, sold out 97% of the available allocation. A bigger FlashLaunch with metaverse pros TrustSwap is ongoing behind the scenes. And our February 26th IGO with MetaLaunch was wrapped up in a matter of hours.
Wizardia token do sell out, so make note of the dates below to get your $WZRD on your preferred launchpad. Our Community round continues on a steady schedule during March, leading up to our listing. Keep your eyes peeled on our Discord and Twitter feed for the latest announcements.
