Eyeball Pool — BallDroid PFP (Gen 0, Cronos)

BallDroids gen 0 is a collection of 4,001 unique utility PFP NFTs built on the Cronos blockchain that give its holders early game access to Eyeball Pool. On launch, as a holder you will be able to mint an in-game starter pack of NFTs and tokens. In addition, holders of the PFP will get “priority boarding” for in-game tournaments from a private discord channel and the right to vote on community polls.

Rarity and Variations
Each of the randomly generated PFP NFTs contain 10 different attributes per BallDroid varying in uniqueness and rarity. Of the 4001 total NFTs in the collection, 11 are handcrafted legendary ones with all new and 1-of-1 unique attributes. Each game starter pack will scale in value according to PFP rarity ordering score.

**Note: Rarity Ordering Score is not the Token ID

Rarity Order Score will be computed as follows:

where,
n attribute is the number of NFTs in the collection which has this attribute
n total is the total number of BallDroids in the collection (or 4001)

On game launch, cue stick “Base Stats” will differentiate rarity levels. Immutable “Base Stat” attributes are introduced to further separate cues of higher cost or rarity levels. Higher cost or more rare cues will have additional base stats to start with for an additional 5 base levels, 1 for each rarity type:

  • Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary

Max base stat per attribute depends on the cue’s rarity. Each base stat will be 2x of a normal stat. More expensive cue types or higher rarity have a greater chance of having an advantage over a regular cue.

Alpha Launch
As a BallDroid NFT holder, you will have exclusive access to a web-based single player tournament. In these tournaments, holders will have a chance of winning tokens and NFT prizes. These tournaments will be free to join, but only accessible to BallDroid holders. The more NFTs you hold, the more free tries you will have. As retries will have a cost. In addition, PFP holders will get voting rights on certain aspects of the game, like canned responses, naming of levels, cues, etc.

Beta Launch
Gen 0 PFP NFT holders will be able to mint their starter pack assets from inside the game for free. With the beta, we will also launch a Gen 1 PFP collection on another blockchain that will differ from Gen 0. The more PFPs you hold (regardless of Gen) the more free tries you have in tournaments, spin-the-wheel and lucky shots you get. The PFP NFT rarity level will be depicted as in-game vanity aspects. All PFP holders will get to vote on specific aspects of the game like canned responses, naming of levels, cues, etc.

Public Launch
PFP and potentially token holders will have priority access (through Discord) to tournaments and 1–1 challenges, as well as having the ability to see others players’ stats. PFP rarity will be visible inside the game like profiles and cue guidelines. PFP holders will also enjoy increased luck in daily activities that generate rewards.

Note: This does not apply for PvP levels, as this would cause an unfair advantage. Cues and currency packs will be available for sale (retail) through our own store as well as on secondary marketplaces.

Our Rationale for PFP Launch
We want to develop together with an engaged community that helps to firm our product and bring awareness to the project. We strongly believe that this is important to avoid mistakes and test ideas and theories to hit the ground running when we launch.

Fundraising Progress
We are not considering the NFT launch as a fundraising exercise. The bulk of our funding will come from a private round of investment from tier-1 institutional equity and token investors. The private funding progress will be disclosed soon.
