Claim NEER Reward — Live Now

Pioneer Crowdloan Contributors can start to claim their NEER reward now using the following link:

NEER Token

https://ksmcrowdloan.bit.country/reward

Please find the steps of screenshots below.

Step 1

Click Claim NEER Token button

Step 2

After you claim your reward, the system will schedule a request for NEER distribution, please allow up to 48 hours for tokens to be distributed to your wallet.

By claiming any reward, you agree to the terms and conditions set on the website. (Transfer will be enabled in the near future, please see roadmap below for more details)

Step 3

Check Your Balance

For Ledger Users

As Ledger doesn’t currently support Parachains, including Bit.Country Pioneer Network, it won’t be possible to claim your $NEER tokens using the Reward Claim page, if you used Ledger.

The engineering team is currently working on a solution for our community members that used Ledger, so they can claim their tokens to a different wallet should they want to avoid the wait until Ledger supports our network.

A Ledger-specific process will be released in approximately 3 weeks.

For Exchange Users

The exchanges will go through the claiming process and go ahead with distribution to their users once their own infrastructure is ready. Stay tuned for future announcements.

For more details about the token schedule, please visit our documentation hub.

What’s Coming Next

After the token distribution and audit, we will release the protocol portal Dapp of Metaverse.Network and enable token transfer on Pioneer.

Currently, the team is busy finalizing and testing the protocol portal of Metaverse.Network. The portal web app allows NEER users to mine BIT.

Both NEER and BIT are required to participate in a number of use cases available in ME101 — the default Machine Economy model on the network, it is an economic tool for building and growing future communities.

In ME101, users would be able to mine for resources using BIT & NEER and use them to obtain NFTs that have various utilities in the metaverse(s).

For instance, by mining the NFT of an Avatar or wearable, or mine an NFT that has the permission to operate certain services in ME101.

We will make more details available when ME101 & the portal Dapp go live in April / May 2022.

Roadmap of 2022 & Early 2023

Here is a sequence of events that are going to take place in 2022 and early 2023.

Please note, we plan to roll out the following features gradually, simultaneously on alpha-testnet first around the proposed time. This is to ensure the stability of each module before it is live on pioneer network. We prioritize stability over the dates, we may decide to delay certain features if we don’t think they will be ready for production. Stability and security always come first.

Please see the roadmap and estimated dates for features to be deployed on alpha-testnet.

In parallel, we will publish standards around avatars, wearables, and spec for 3D assets; and the user-created games API/SDK. And we will continue to conduct Bit.Country Parallel’s desktop development.

Metaverse is far more about visual, power, economy, and A.I., we feel it needs to be everlasting across generations and carry on stories of individuals. We like to think only a fully users-owned approach would make our vision possible. We planned out a roadmap for a decade to embark on the development of the metaverse future. Bit.Country is only a start.
