As we look back on our Alpha Red mint, we can’t thank our community enough for the support you’ve shown over the past two months.

Every comment, suggestion and tweak has lead us to where we are now. Thank you to every single one of you for the help, and know that you are appreciated. Our community can do anything together, including building a multi-national, beautiful hit mobile game.

Onward and upward!

On Alpha Blue;

Alpha Blue NFT Showcase: Keen Eye, “I don’t Sleep” — Fire Obsidian

With the rework of Alpha Blue, we added stronger collectability as well as an additional perk- token allocation. TLDR;

Rarity: 4 tiers of rarity, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Fire Obsidian

Let’s talk about the full breakdown of Alpha Blue’s utility:

  1. Zani Profile Picture NFT airdrop

These will be high-quality generative NFTs of a Zani’s torso and head for you to use as profile pictures on social media.

Airdropped to every Alpha holder, their total supply is yet to be determined. The work will be done by a professional concept artist, and is sure to be spectacular.

For those who don’t manage to mint either Alpha Red or Blue, these NFTs will also be available for a public mint in February. Alpha holders will have presale access to the public mint, but if they don’t mint out in presale, the public will be given a chance to own a Zani profile picture.

2. Token allocation

Token allocation will be determined by the rarity of your NFT, the higher your rarity, the more token allocation you will receive.

Bronze — 55%: 20,000 tokens

Silver — 30%: 24,000 tokens

Gold — 12%: 28,000 tokens

Fire Obsidian — 3%: 40,000 tokens

Between after the mint and our IDO, we’ll take biweekly snapshots of wallet addresses holding Alpha Blues (so, a snapshot every other week). Each snapshot will qualify your wallet address for a portion of the IDO airdrop to Alpha Blue holders.

Snapshot system:

Bi-weekly snapshots starts after mint is over, till the token launch in April. We will only declare the week we are taking the snapshot, no exact date for time will be given. In this scenario, listing your NFT will make you miss the snapshot taken.

Only hold your Alpha Blue halfway before the IDO? You will only be included in half of the snapshots we take and earn half of the total token allocation.

Hold for all snapshots and you will receive the total token allocation. These tokens that are airdropped will be at $0.005 a token, a discounted rate compared to what the public will have access to when we IDO in April, ensuring Alpha Blue holders to be a part of the early backer group.

3. Pre-sale Access to Original Edition NFTs — In-Game 3D Character (Base Model)

These will be 3D models of in-game characters, and these characters will be of the Zani species shown in the Alpha Edition.

The model will be a base model. Over time, Zoolana will be announcing mints of skins and cosmetic features (#5 on this list) that all Alpha holders will have presale access to, including exclusive cosmetics.

These models will be the actual character tokens used in-game. In Zoolana, your Zani characters will be able to level and rank up in a number of different ways. This will increase their base stats and unlock new passive and active abilities. These in-game Zanis will also be ranked using a rarity system- each Zani species can be found in Common, Rare, Mythic, and Legendary ranks.

4. Pre-sale Access to 3D In-Game Armor and Weapons Models

Starting in Q1 2022, Zoolana will be releasing armor and weapons that will be usable in-game. These NFTs will be 3D models and the actual playable game asset.

Weapons will come in 4 tiers in Zoolana, similar to our characters.

5. Pre-sale Access to Exclusive Skins + Cosmetics For Characters

These skins will be unique and rare to each character.

Zanis come in all shapes and sizes. Our high-quality skins will allow collectors to modify the appearance of their Zanis in a variety of ways. These skins will be high quality 3D models that change the appearance of your base character, letting you flex your Zani in Zoolana.

All Alpha holders will receive presale access to mints of cosmetics.

6. Airdrops of Ongoing Zoolana Story + Lore NFTs

All Alpha holders will receive exclusive airdrops of stories, art and lore showcasing various elements of life for a Zani in Zoolana. All the mysteries, conquests and various oddities from the world of Zoolana will be freely distributed to Alpha holders, Red and Blue.

7. Beta Tester For Game During The Closed Beta Test

Alpha Blue holders will be invited to the first round of closed beta testing alongside Teaser Edition holders and Alpha Red holders. They’ll playtest the game, provide feedback, and have a chance to shape the experience for players entering Zoolana for the first time.

8. Access To Special Discord Channel For Alpha Holders

Zoolana’s Discord will utilize Grape protocol to host Alpha holders in a special Discord channel. They’ll have access to an exclusive community of the most knowledgeable Zanis as well as exclusive content related to Zoolana’s development that won’t be available to anyone else (#9 in this list).

9. Monthly Progress Updates On Game Development & Sneak Peeks

Alpha holders will be kept informed routinely on the development status of Zoolana’s development with special updates not available elsewhere. We’ll be dropping alpha for the Alpha holders all the time, with sneak peeks of prototypes, concept art, design decisions, and more. You may even be asked to contribute to the game!
