MIGHTY PHALANX,
We’re heading straight to the whirlwind, the heart of the volcano. The following 2 weeks are BOMB after BOMB by the awesome team behind Echoes of Cryptalia. Each from their own expertise, artists, designers, comms, devs & everyone that hold them together is pouring their hearts to deliver the best game possible for our means and the best value we can offer to you, our companions in this journey. Today, we’re gonna settle on the details of two of the upcoming Key Dates, which need preparation the most: not one, but TWO awesome Mints to participate.
1. Genesis Unbreakable Oaths Mint Sale — FEB 17
We gotta start with the most important subject: Echoes of Cryptalia will hold its first Mint Sale in a matter of days. We spent weeks modeling what we believe to be an awesome value offer for our first & original players. You, who are here now, with us, at the very beginning of our epic poem. Genesis Unbreakable Oaths are serialized, unique ERC-721 NFTs & each one of them is tied to a unique Genesis Hero NFT, our main game asset and the key to access $ECHO rewards in-game. But we always strive for giving further value to the player, specially in the crucial first steps. That’s why we have also provided special use cases for our Genesis NFTs that future Hero Mints, which would be held to widen the player base, will not have ever again. You can read about those benefits in our deep dive article, where you’ll find Loyalty Program: Chapter 2 benefits, a description of our Mercenary system, our daily Whispered Urn NFT claiming proposal, our special Airdrop itinerary for Genesis Holders & exclusive access to [REDACTED], a game zone.
Although much details are covered in that article, we are here to communicate our Whitelist structure & provide you with the necessary information to participate in our Mint on February 17.
- TOTAL SUPPLY: 10,000 units
- 100 are reserved for Loyalty Program: Chapter 1 prizes.
- 100 are reserved for Chapter 2: Masters of Combat prizes
- 100 are allocated for marketing, partners, team & other collaborators.
- TOTAL SALE SUPPLY: 9,700 units
- PRICE:
- Whitelist: 25 USDC (max 3 units per wallet)
- Open Sale: 30 USDC (no cap)
- WHITELIST SIZE: 1,500
- Team decided on a “short” Whitelist. This way, every whitelisted gamer will have the guaranteed opportunity to Mint up to 3 NFTs.
- Why? Because 3 is the number we call a “Full Party”. Our unique combat system is a 3vs3, tag-team style, turn-based glory of game design.
- For this reason, a 9.7K supply actually represents 3.2K full parties, somewhat similar as you’d think about tabletop miniature games or even TCGs.
- It’s possible to play without Heroes, but you won’t earn $ECHO in combat this way. If you’re a holder, though, for each real NFT used in the party, you’ll get better $ECHO rewards, accordingly.
- The Whitelist Sale will be open for 6 hours, so gamers from every time zone are able to Mint without too late nights or too early mornings. After that, all excess units will join the Open Sale.
- Remember: As a Master Tactician, you can have more than 1 Party! Additional Parties can be sent to other Quests, pushing your progress forward.
- WHITELIST PROCESS:
- Approximately 1,100 Whitelist spots are going to be drafted among the PHALANX OF GAMERS that have supported us and are the reason we’re here. We’ve prepared 2 mechanisms to include different player profiles:
- Most Spots will be awarded to players using a formula that considers, above all, merit, account age & other metrics that reward the earliest players.
- The remainder bulk will be awarded to newer players, that joined after that, but show signs of strong compromise, with metrics like daily engagement, growth speed, etc.IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to be considered for a Whitelist spot through the Loyalty Program, you HAVE to submit your application in your Player Profile, above the Leaderboard. We want to make sure that players are actually prepared to use the Spot, so no loyal player who wants to buy gets left out. If you don’t wanna Mint, don’t submit your profile. If you DO WANT to MINT (Recommended! How could I not recommend? Not financial advise, always DYOR), you will need at least 2,500 Merit points and 1 IMX or WIMX in your Passport wallet to be considered. We do this simply to confirm that the player knows how to add coins to their wallet. After that, you’re good to go — & cross your fingers!
- Approximately 200 Whitelist spots are destined to marketing collaborations. Gamers that win a Whitelist spot in this way are automatically approved to Mint.
- And, finally, we have decided to save the last 200 Whitelist spots to make all kinds of parties & giveaways during the final days of the campaign. This way, our friends that recently learned about us through our partners at Immutable Play, also have the opportunity to join the Mint.
- Approximately 1,100 Whitelist spots are going to be drafted among the PHALANX OF GAMERS that have supported us and are the reason we’re here. We’ve prepared 2 mechanisms to include different player profiles:
2. OG Emblems FREE MINT — FEB 13
SURPRISE! We were dying to tell you: As a preview, a glorious appetizer for our Genesis Collection Mint Sale, we will also FREE MINT our OG Emblems, NFTs that mark Holders as part of the group that witnessed the beginning of our story. OG Emblems are badges of honor awarded to our bravest Heroes. As of now, we guarantee 2 use cases for Holders: a special OG Role with access to an OG chat & exclusive in-game content after Game Launch. We love the idea of adding more exclusive features to our OGs but, as you know, we’re very strict about promises, since we proud ourselves to always provide. These exclusive use cases can be obtained by minting one of these beauts, which have a much smaller supply (since there’re no parties involved).
This Whitelist is not the same and does not necessarily include every player from the Genesis Collection whitelist, even though we will use similar, but not identic mechanisms. You ARE NOT REQUIRED to submit your account for our Genesis Collection Mint Sale to be considered for an OG Emblem — they are completely different processes. It will be about 2,000 wallets long & we’ll be consolidate it the day before the Mint. Details:
- Total Supply: 3,000
- There will never exist more than 3,000 OG Emblems, but we will keep a share of the supply for future community activities.
- Total Mint: ~2,000
- About 66% of the supply will go to the Free Mint of FEB 13. Number is not exact, because we want it to be organic: No OG left behind!
- Time frame: TBA.
- Whitelist size: ~2,000
- Price: FREE
Aaaaaand that’s a wrap for today! If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask our Discord Moderators & Team Members for clarifications. If you’re shy, just open a ticket in our #support channel.
If you’re unsure as of how to add coins to your Passport wallet, know that some beloved community members are selflessly recording tutorials in three different languages to support you in the process.
HEAD ON WE MARCH TO THE GENESIS OF A NEW ERA
