It’s here! Soccerverse Beta 4 is now live on the Polygon mainnet.

Soccerverse is a multiplayer, community-driven, football management simulator and trading game, using Xaya technology to allow for highly complex computational game logic.

Become a manager, agent, club owner, share trader, speculator, scout, or any combination in one huge, persistent, autonomous and open-ended game universe.

  • Every one of the 300 clubs is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) run by shareholders, as are all of the 11,000+ soccer players.
  • Player and club shares are traded in the in-game decentralized exchanges (DEX).
  • Players are traded between clubs using a decentralized auction system.
  • Every soccer player is essentially a fractionalized NFT owned by shareholders, but also controlled by Managers and Agents, who are voted in cryptographically using the integrated voting system.

League matches are played every Wednesday and Saturday, while cup/shield matches are every Monday at 3pm UTC.

The first matches take place on Saturday, August 13th.

In case you don’t already know, Soccer Manager Elite was rebranded to Soccerverse. The old beta version was running in a Unity client on Windows only.

The front end had been entirely rewritten to work in any web browser or in the Metamask mobile wallet. Now, everyone can play on whatever device they wish, be it desktop, tablet or mobile.

You can find out more about the game on the Soccerverse website link below.

New in Beta 4

For those that played in the previous betas, these are some new features in the core game logic and front end:

  • Agents can now set contract lengths and other options
  • To propose an agent, you now need >10% of the player’s shares
  • To propose a manager, you now only need >0.001% of the club’s shares
  • Each club and player now has 10 million shares in total (not including share dilutions which can be proposed)
  • A “Free Bench” is now available for managers and scouts
  • Initiating a bid on a freebench player will start an auction
  • Managers can renew contracts for their own squad (assuming the agent has flagged their player as “open for renewal”)
  • If clubs are in debt at the end of the season after they have received their prize money (for league/cup/shield matches), their most expensive player (by wage) will be automatically added to the transfer market. And, if they are at the minimum number of “squad” players (21), they will automatically gain the lowest rated player on the free bench so they do not fall below the minimum number.
  • Payouts have been reduced for dividends
  • The economy has been optimized to minimize inflation
  • New club share packs can be bought
  • Shares in clubs are initially purchased with share packs (see below)
  • Shares in players are initially on the order book
  • Chat system added
  • Chat uses your Xaya name on Polygon along with XID (https://github.com/xaya/xid) to allow for decentralized authentication onto our XMPP chat servers. End-to-end encryption will be added in the future.
  • Each club now has their own chat channel that can be accessed via the Club overview page
  • Mobile and tablet optimised versions work seamlessly in the Metamask browser for mobile devices
  • And more!

Share Packs

Club shares are now initially distributed by buying “Share Packs”.

Each share pack includes 20 shares in 5 clubs (totalling 100 shares).

Each share pack costs 1 WCHI (Xaya’s ERC-20 token).

Will my assets be carried over to the full game?

No. However, you will be airdropped in the full game based on your participation, which could be a portion of from 1% to 5% of the total shares in clubs, at our discretion (depending on total participation and number of testers).

Participation will be based on purchases of SMC (the in-game currency) and share purchases, end share and SMC balances, and contributions to improving the state of the Soccerverse.

The full game is scheduled to be released in Q1 2023.
