It’s been an overwhelming and humbling few weeks for us here at Bloktopia. What a start to the Bloktopia metaverse journey — we are proud and privileged to have such a loyal following and to have created such an engaged social environment.

The rollercoaster ride to date

We held our IDO on four separate platforms, Redkite, Trustpad, Seedify & Oxbull. They have been truly supportive and we want to thank each of them along with their fantastic communities.

Following the IDO we launched on KuCoin, our exchange partner and witnessed some unbelievable volume, achieving over $100M in the first 24 hours alone! KuCoin also invested into Bloktopia, so to have them as a long term supporting partner is truly fantastic.

We have launched the most successful IDO of all time (based on ATH ROI USD) according to Crypto Rank. To be put up there with some of the most successful projects in crypto of all time, including Solana and Polygon is something truly special for both the Bloktopia team and you the community. It’s great to see people understanding our vision, and our long term focus.

We couldn’t anticipate some of the levels that we have reached. Since launch the demand for Bloktopia, has been quite extraordinary. The BLOK token price has more or less continued to rise, making our NFTs less affordable for all, so we also listened to our community and introduced a new product Joint Ownership Bloktopia Enterprise (JOBE). This was solely done to make owning a piece of our metaverse accessible to all.

We have also introduced staking as a new product and been inudated with demand.

Finally, we have also built up some great relationships with announcements from Kucoin, Coinmarketcap, Elrond, Avalanches, DexTools, Polygon, Polkastarter, Bitboy, Travala and many more to come. We are creating a metaverse for the crypto community and we will have the biggest Crypto brands in our metaverse. Combine that with our income producing NFTs REBLOK and ADBLOK, and we feel we have captured the eyes and ears of the crypto world.

A change in approach to the next token release

We were due to open our Bloktopia NFT Land Sale Portal, we ran into some issues which are now resolved and we are currently in final testing, so the portal will be live within days/weeks and not months for reference.

As a result of the rate of growth and success we have had in a very short space of time, Ross and I have had to take a step back and look after the long term interest of both the project and also the community who have supported us this far.

The decision that we have taken is to amend our vesting schedule slightly. We are doing this to unlock some tokens to early supporters who are expecting their next release of $BLOK tokens. Our vesting schedule wasn’t tied to a date, but the launch of the Land Sale Portal. The vesting is designed in a way to make sure that there are always enough $BLOK tokens in circulation to purchase real estate, REBLOK or advertising space ADBLOK, within the metaverse, and be rewarded for supporting the project.

We will be releasing 50% of the tokens today, and 50% after the Genesis Bloktopia NFT Land Sale. That means today we will release:

Early Adopters- 5%

Seed Round- 5%

Private Round- 5%

Public Sale- 10%

The token unlock will take place within 3 hours of this announcement. If you have bought through one of our IDO partners, please contact them directly about claiming your tokens.

This token unlock will be followed up with a second token unlock when the Bloktopia Land Sale Portal is live. This will be very soon as mentioned above. And you will only hear about it through the official Bloktopia channels.

The second unlock will then allow the community to secure both ADBLOK & REBLOK within Bloktopia, which was always our intention. However, security and confidence in the community is vital to the long term success of the Bloktopia metaverse.

Thanks again for your continued support and understanding.
