Bit.Country Pioneer Crowdloan on Kusama
We will make history by bringing mainstream adoption to web3.0, we invite you to join us as we will bring individualized worlds to people.
Bit.Country & Metaverse.Network is a platform & blockchain ecosystem for user-created metaverses, games, and dApps.
Community owners, influencers, KOLs, and individuals can launch their own metaverses for their members, fans, followers, families, and friends.
All you need to launch a metaverse is at least one land block plus $NEER token to pay a small gas fee.
In your metaverse, you will have your own name, map, subdividable land blocks, economy, styles, stories, and your own sky in the 3D world which you and your members genuinely own.
Why Support Bit.Country Pioneer
- Our core founding team launched three other successful global startups in tech, education, and real estate since 2013.
- We’re launching the world's first Metaverse Career Academy with support from the SG government department — IMDA, Animoca Brands, Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator, and Republic Realm. See the partners.
- Accepted participant of Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator (2021), Bootcamp (2021) at Creative Destructive Lab of Toronto University, and a Web3 Foundation Grant Winner. A member of Substrate Builders Program.
- Our testnet has over 1600 node operators. Node operators are excited about energizing one of the biggest social experiments on web3.0.
- On our early access waiting list, there are 60,000+ users eager to create their own metaverses for their people, and grow it into a valuable asset.
- We designed our token distribution in a community-first approach.
Just as Bit.Country will serve as the de-facto metaverse portal of Polkadot, Bit.Country Pioneer will serve as the metaverse portal of Kusama.
New Creator-Fan Economy
We are disrupting the current creators’ value system built by web2.0, as traditional social platforms are harvesting the value from the community’s time, only distributing a portion of the profits to the creators while members are only being entertained, but not rewarded.
We are building a future for metaverse owners to have the ability to grow exponentially while letting the members take ownership and earn through a variety of opportunities, benefitting directly from the development of the metaverses they are in.
Crowdloan Reward
As part of the crowdloan, we present an opportunity for those willing to back us by locking their KSM for 48 weeks to help us to secure a parachain slot on Kusama. The decentralized code on Kusama will return the KSM to you automatically after the loan expires.
In return, we will reward the contributors with 15% of the total supply of $NEER tokens, plus other interesting bonuses.
😇Base Reward
For each KSM you lock away for 48 weeks, you will receive at least 68 $NEER tokens on the Bit.Country Pioneer Network.
*We will use the base reward as the basis for each bonus calculation described below. (In case of any doubt, they don’t compound.)
⚡Bonus Reward 1 — Early Bird
The first 1000 participants will receive an extra 10% bonus.
⚡Bonus Reward 2— Referral
If you refer someone and that person uses your referral code, both parties will receive an extra 5% bonus split (2.5% each) based on referred’s contribution.
For example, if you referred someone who received 100 $NEER from their base reward, we will award an extra 2.5 $NEER to you and the referred.
You will receive a referral code after making a contribution on this page.
❤️Bonus Reward 3— Land for Your Own Metaverse🌄
We will gift you land block(s) if your contribution is qualified. This additional reward will enable you to launch your own metaverse for your friends, families, or communities without breaking the bank.
You can subdivide your land block(s) in your metaverse, sell or gift them to someone who deserves a space in your world. Check this for future land potential.
The details of land rewards for participants will be announced after we win the Kusama parachain auction.
HINT: We will pay attention to early contributors as well as the total KSM you contribute, also we want to have a fair distribution to maximize community interests. Since this is an additional gift, the final details are at our discretion.
The main reason we do not reveal the details now is to provide a fair plan after we win and use the data to decide and honor the true users.
* Friendly reminder: The contributions using split wallet addresses will have less advantage than those who contribute using a single wallet.
Reward Distribution
We will distribute 30% of the total reward at the Token Generation Event (TGE). The remaining 70%, will be distributed to you linearly over 12 months.
If you were gifted with land blocks(s), we will distribute them shortly after the Bit.Country app goes live.

$NEER Token Utility
$NEER is the wild cousin to $NUUM. Just like $KSM to $DOT.
$NEER, the native utility token on the Bit.Country Pioneer Network, is used for paying transaction fees and future participation in the governance of the multi-metaverse civilization.
$NEER is also used for major transactions inside Bit.Country Pioneer Network.
- Bidding for periodical land auctions on the platform
- Minting new assets
- Trading
- Or any blockchain level transactions & extrinsic.
The total Supply of $NEER is 100 million or 100,000,000, and it is a deflationary utility token.
Envisioning of Your Own Sky
Everyone wants to have their own rooftop, now you can have the sky that you desire, whether you like your world hovering in space or creating a new culture on a faraway planet that only you can imagine.
Think of a name for your world now, and that will be yours in the $NEER future. Only a few clicks to have a map and exciting 3D world, ready for you to deploy the land you win. For you and your fam to enjoy together.
Turn your dream into a reality; create a legacy with your community that is forever recorded in the Kusama metaverse machines.
Bring or mint your cool NFTs, for your community to enjoy and benefit from. Don’t let them gather dust, put them somewhere special, and maybe the surrounding land units could be very sought-after.
Subdivide your land block into land units or group them into estates, to trade or gift them to people who would like to be part of your world. (Save a good spot for us ;-))
Let the subdivision landowners co-build your world. No technical skills are required, we support 3D models within the voxel world (similar to Minecraft) that you can design using your favorite tools.
Community developers will bring you new games; members can join different missions taking place in your world.
Your wallet(s) holding land are visible on the public ledgers of our Bit.Country Pioneer Network, nobody knows who and when someone might drop you some goodies.
Traversing through the metaverses on the Continuum (global map of metaverses) with your favorite shoes and sunglasses, you may step onto something undiscovered.
Tons of possibilities, surprises, and fun awaits.
Land Means Value, Mining Power & Staking Rewards
There is a limited supply of total land blocks, however, there is no cap on the number of metaverses.
As metaverse owners want to expand their world size, new metaverses will need at least one land block to activate, and land will become rarer and rarer.
Land Owner’s Mining Power
- Wallets owning land have mining power allocated according to the total area.
- Wallets with mining power can mine $BIT — the in-game currency.
- You can mine $BIT by land staking (see below) or by completing tasks or completing challenges in the games.
- $BIT is used as base material to build on top of your land, it is also used as power to energize items.
- $BIT is also used as part of the matrix to upgrade the metaverse level. Land within a higher level metaverse has more value because of its higher mining power.
Staking $NEER to your Land to Receive Passive $BIT
- To ensure the land or land subdivision is managed in accordance with the specific metaverse’s code of conduct, landowners must stake into their land; we reward a portion of $BIT production per period.
- Local metaverse councils and network metaverse councils are responsible for land code of conduct & slashing proposals
More details about the land economics on Kusama will be released after the crowdloan event.
Community First NEER Token Economics

NEER Tokens
Q. What is the purpose of the NEER token?

No.
Q. What is the difference between NEER and NUUM?
- NEER is for Bit.Country Pioneer Network on Kusama
- NUUM is for Bit.country Network on Polkadot (Future)
NEER to NUUM is like KSM to DOT.
These two networks are independent, you can think of them as Matrix I vs Matrix II films, they have different narratives, policies, and excitement.
In the metaverse context, they are two different dimensions that co-exist allowing assets bridged across to one or the other through a “Space-timeWarp”.
After the Parachain Auction
Q. If I contribute my KSM after the candle has gone out, does my KSM stay locked up until the end of the slot?
Yes, all KSM in the crowdloan module will remain there until it is released either after the lease period ends (if the auction is successful) or after the end of auction 10 (if unsuccessful).

After Bit.Country successfully wins a slot, all KSM participants will be eligible for a minimum of 68 NEER Tokens for every 1 KSM contributed as a “thank you” for their support.
Q. How long before Bit.Country becomes decentralized, and the crowdloan is paid out?
There are a few technical steps here, so we cannot provide a firm date when the crowdloan reserve payout may occur. Key milestones are:
- Secure Bit.Country Pioneer parachain slot via crowdloan
- Launch Bit.Country Pioneer mainnet
- Test and launch Bit.Country governance
- Decentralization of the network and activation of governance
- Governance votes on the distribution of the crowdloan reserve
Q. Will I have the choice to participate in another parachain offering in the future after this first parachain lease ends?
A. Yes.
Q. How much is a NEER worth?
NEER is not yet live, is not yet tradeable, and is not yet on exchanges; therefore, it currently has no developed market value.
Q. What happens at the end of the Bit.Country parachain slot lease?
At the end of the parachain slot lease, your KSM will be returned via the crowdloan module.
