🍺Happy Hour Q&A🍺 — W2
Since we have Happy Hour section in Discord, the core team have collected many good questions from our dear users. Here we’ll put questions & answers together, in case anyone misses out on what they might want to know.
Q1:
Hello sir. First of all, thanks to give this opportunity I have a question about Plant Crossing’s future. Are you thinking of bringing this on to another chain to expand it further?? Like polygon chain ??
A1:
Good question! As we introduced in our roadmap, we already have plans to support multi chains. The first one is ethereum and L2 since there are many NFT players and infrastructure on ethereum while L2 will be helpful for applications like Plant Crossing once we achieve the goal of mass adoption. The team is working on it. It will happen later this year. We will also announce L2 partners once timing is ready. So stay tuned!
Q2:
hi team, will there be some new Botans species released with the rare Botan box sales? thanks
A2:
Yes, currently there are only 16 Botan species that have been released so far. New species will be released in the future through Genesis Sales, In-app Breeding and other events.
Q3:
First of all, congrats on the project. Like to Stay that its seems very Addicted and enjoyable. First question. Is it gonna be a long term project or a first come first served ? Second question. What’s the Difference between c Botans or rare Botans besides the price?
A3:
Thx for the support! The project is definitely long term focused. As introduced in the alpha version whitepaper, Plant Crossing is our first step. Ultimately we will launch a NFTFi platform to connect web2/web3 IPs with more real utilities like Plant Crossing and etc through platform protocols. $AVA token will be the only token for ecosystem projects as well as Avalon platform. During the future TGE, a $AVA airdrop will be performed based on contributions of our early participants. In the Alpha stage the quantity of Rare Botans will be much less than C Botans. Rare Botans can also have a higher chance to breed SR level seeds than C Botans. In addition, in the future farm mode to be released by the end of this month or early next month, R Botans will enjoy better performance than C Botans.
Q4:
What rarity will the genesis Botans be and will the price of leveling be changed?
A4:
Currently, the team is working with potential important industry partners to collaborate on our genesis sale. We cannot disclose the details yet. But the planned price of the sale will be less than the Genesis NFT’s expected value on the secondary market. We will keep giving away incentives for our users like the previous airdrop of Botans and Lands. Most importantly, the farm mode will also be designed to reward users who hold specific NFTs either gained in the App or from the Genesis Sales.
Q5:
I have gathered questions from our community (around 7 people) so there is more than one question
1. There is no need to use coins for breeding and this will lead to market overflow very soon. For example in WLKN there are gems needed for breeding and its slowing progress rapidly making the game more sustainable. Do you plan to introduce the requirement of coins to breed?
2. We have never seen anyone asking for AVA shop in our community or on this discord yet you have created AVA shop and instead of ending it after some time you have increased its duration while nobody asked for it. We understand that profits from this shop are going to app development but it can be done the other way rather than “semi” ruining the game economy when players can directly purchase AVA with multiple accounts (different phones, ip, wallets..)
3. Even after patch we are seeing a very very very low win rate about 2in10 (20%) that’s not acceptable because it would take us like 50 days to level up with only using AVA from arenas and personally I have level 25 and it’s earning less than lvl 10 Botan. We understand that you are “forcing” people to buy AVA from the in-game shop but you should change this really fast and find other sustainable ways.
4. Breeding — according to Whitepaper it’s impossible to breed lower rarity than you are breeding this will cause again market overflow and every breed is gonna be profitable until people start dumping prices just to have chance to breed higher rarity thus breeding will be non profitable and when breeding starts to be non-profitable usually games die within few weeks/months rapidly.
Do you plan to change breeding like in your competitor WLKN so for example if you breed R + R you can get C ? This will cause slower progress, less Botans on the market thus higher price and rarity will be really rare rewarding long time players.
For example genesis players could receive higher rarity Botan that they can breed and a lot of them would breed lower tier Botan.

That’s really a lot of questions! Let me just summarize your questions into one answer first so that it is fair for other members.
I think most of your questions are related to the tokenomics design of the $AVA token. So I will try to address your concerns as best as I can at the current stage.
First, we have a veteran product team from both the traditional mobile game industry and web3 industry which has lots of hands-on experiences as well as learned from projects like Axie Infinity, STEPN, etc. The key of our tokenomics design is focused on long term sustainability from day 1 when we started the project.
Second, the project just entered into Alpha stage. We only launched less than 20% of the current product plan while $AVA token is not designed as the utility token in other projects that have inflation issues. On the contrary, we will use tokens like $BNB to encourage users through different modes to be launched later, e.g. farm mode. Thus supporting $AVA purchase is needed. Meanwhile the team is fully aware about the multi account issue and has already been taking actions on that (check project account lock notification update). We will continue working on that to ensure a fair environment of our community in the long run.
Third, the Breeding system is not fully tested yet. We will collect more data and feedback from Alpha stage to keep optimizing that. There will be more modes to be released to increase the demand of low level Botans (this is a very common problem to solve in many traditional games) So no worry about the inflation of low level Botans through Breeding.
Last, the team is working hard on the product development as well as important partnerships to drive more new users into our app. Finishing the core game loop of collet to earn while keeping growth momentum are the most important focuses of the team.
Q6:
What will the NFT farming look like ? The reward will be based on what?
A6:
Just stay tuned! We will start introducing this mode later this month. It will be very fun. Generally speaking, factors like rarity of Botans, different species will affect the performance in the Farm mode. Also the farm mode will have several upcoming updates with different gameplay to be introduced later.
🎁 “bg9qiv” Wow… you found an Easter Egg! 🎁
Q7:
1. Do you have any approximate idea of how much AVA token will be issued?
2.There are a lot of unusable Botans with low stats on the marketplace. Will some kind of fusion or other mechanic be implemented in the game to help burn Botans for, for example, a higher Botan level.Or are you going to deal with it in the form of some one-off event like in other games to reduce their surplus ?
3.Are there plans to list the AVA token on a major CEX exchange ?
4.Will the player have any advantages if he owns all kinds of land ? If applicable, please specify which ones.
A7:
Last answer for today’s AMA. Guys you are really amazing! Thx for your support!
The team has considered the inflation of low rarity Botans as well as Botans with low attributes at the initial stage when they design the Plant Crossing app. More modes will be introduced later to solve your concerns (fusion is one option the team already considered) But the team has to work hard to deliver many features as planned one by one. We are just in the early stage and do not want to rush everything before careful tests and evaluation. Currently players with different Lands already have advantages over others since they can switch lands in different situations to enjoy different benefits. As for $AVA listing, we cannot disclose that yet. The team is only focused on the product and growth as for now. I think once we achieve the goal of mass adoption, there will be no problem of listing in any top exchanges in the world. It also is the common goal of both of our team and our lovely community.
If none of the above answers solve your confusion, be sure to go to Discord for a Happy Hour every Friday from 1pm to 2pm (UTC) and feel free to ask questions!
