DEFY: Operation Alpha — Start of a Revolution
Note: This article has been updated as of 4 October to officially wrap up Operation Alpha as it came to an end as of 26 September 2022.
Greetings, Operatives!
DEFY is one step closer to creating a community that rallies users behind the objective of taking down the internet dictator Future Systems. We would like to thank every one who acquired a mask to join the revolution at its earliest stage!
Operation Alpha
There are a total of five missions in this operation.
Mission 1: The Spark
The very first mission involves our earliest Operatives getting acquainted with and stress-testing the mobile application, using it to hack various Future System towers around the world and accumulating FCOIN for funds to set up the revolution. It is also important to ensure the exploit works regardless of an Operative’s location, therefore there will be a group task that requires Operatives to work together in efforts to solve a global puzzle.
Global Puzzle
This group task involves piecing clues together using information obtained from various cities around the world, as well as successfully pledging a total of 500,000 FCOIN to the revolution between all operatives.
Mission 1 Rewards
1. Pledging FCOIN Daily
While players may earn as many FCOIN they can within a given day, there will be a maximum cap of 2,500 FCOIN that can be pledged for $DEFY every 24 hours per mask. Amounts of FCOIN in excess of 2,500 FCOIN can be rolled over to the next 24-hour period to be pledged.
Note: Throughout Mission 1 all FCOIN pledged for $DEFY token rewards will have an exchange rate of 10:1. (i.e. 2,500 FCOIN pledged will earn an Operative 100 $DEFY tokens)
2. Ranking Top 25% in FCOIN Contribution
There will be a leaderboard in-game that tracks every Operative’s FCOIN contributions daily. A bonus reward of 5,000 $DEFY tokens will be awarded to each operative who finishes in the top 25% of the leaderboards at the end of Mission 1.
3. Successfully solving the Global Puzzle
Completing the group task and meeting the cumulative FCOIN pledge requirements will result in each Operative* being rewarded with an additional 500 $DEFY tokens.
This reward is only eligible for Operatives who download the application and connect their mask via their wallet. Holding the mask in a wallet and not connecting it to the application will not count.
Mission 2: C. R. E. A. M. (Crypto Rules Everything Around Me)
In this mission, Operatives are racing against the clock to gather and pledge as many FCOIN possible before Future Systems successfully executes their enhanced security measures. To help facilitate this, the amount of FCOIN that can be pledged daily by each Operative has been doubled to 5,000.
Mission 2 Rewards
1. Pledging FCOIN Daily
This works similar to Mission 1, with a couple of changes made to the system.
- Maximum FCOIN Pledge per day (per mask) increased to 5,000 FCOIN. Amounts of FCOIN in excess of 5,000 FCOIN can be rolled over to the next 24-hour period to be pledged.
- Pledging ratio between FCOIN and $DEFY increased to 50:1.
(i.e. 5,000 FCOIN pledged will earn an Operative 100 $DEFY tokens)
2. Ranking Top 2,000 in FCOIN Contribution
- 1,000,000 $DEFY Tokens will be split among everyone who tied first place, maintaining the max pledge score (Approx. 800 players)
- 500,000 $DEFY Tokens to be split among everyone after the max pledge score up till rank #2,000 and its tying score. (Approx. 1,200 players)
Mission 3: Smells Like Team Spirit
In this Mission, Operatives come together once more for a global group task involving the need for specific Future Systems towers to be hacked in efforts to intercept important information about their plans. Meanwhile Future Systems has begun rolling out Collector Drones to start collecting wallets scattered on the ground.
Mission 3 Rewards
1. Pledging FCOIN Daily
- Maximum FCOIN Pledge per day (per mask) — 5,000 FCOIN. Amounts of FCOIN in excess of 5,000 FCOIN can be rolled over to the next 24-hour period to be pledged.
- Pledging ratio between FCOIN and $DEFY — 50:1. (i.e. 5,000 FCOIN pledged will earn an Operative 100 $DEFY tokens)
Additional Reward: Users who actively contributed to the Global Group Task received a Special Operatives role within the Discord server.
Mission 4: Seek & Destroy
The fourth mission opened with a group task surrounding kha0s as it had been two months of no contact. Operatives had to work together with zer0 in deciphering their final conversation with kha0s to trace potential whereabouts. This led to a mysterious envelope with instructions to protect it, which resulted in a special video address by kha0s explaining his disappearance.
Operatives then faced new level threat from Future Systems as they come face to face with Hunter Drones, significantly increasing the difficulty in stealing wallets. kha0s has promised new weapons to take down the advanced drones, but for now the main objective remains to seek and destroy as many Collector Drones as possible.
Mission 4 Rewards
1. Pledging FCOIN Daily
- Maximum FCOIN Pledge per day (per mask) — 5,000 FCOIN. Amounts of FCOIN in excess of 5,000 FCOIN can be rolled over to the next 24-hour period to be pledged
- Pledging ratio between FCOIN and $DEFY — 50:1. (i.e. 5,000 FCOIN pledged will earn an Operative 100 $DEFY tokens)
Note: Special Boosted Pledging Rate of 30:1 for users who minted an Uprising Mask and received the exclusive Uprising Badge (i.e. 3,000 FCOIN pledged will earn an Operative 100 $DEFY tokens)
2. Destroying 100 Drones
- Bonus 200 $DEFY tokens and an exclusive Drone Killer Decal for successfully destroying 100 drones over the course Mission 4
Additional Reward: Users who actively contributed to the Group Task received a Special Operatives role within the Discord server.
Mission 5: Electric Feel
The fifth (and final) mission opened with several new features added to gameplay, including the ability to take down drones with an EMP weapon and with that — an alternative way to earn $DEFY. In fact, a lot of changes and improvements were made to the app as a whole throughout the month of August (read this article to find out more)
Mission 5 Rewards
1. Pledging FCOIN Daily
The maximum $DEFY earnings via pledging will be significantly boosted over the course of the mission. This will be exclusive to mission 5 to celebrate the end of our Alpha before transitioning into Beta.
Mission 5 will be split into five different phases with an increasing amount in maximum $DEFY that can be earned daily per mask.
Operatives who have participated in previous missions will also benefit from having a special boosted pledge rate throughout Mission 5 as follows:
- Participated in 1 Alpha Mission: 40:1 pledge rate
- Participated in 2 Alpha Missions: 35:1 pledge rate
- Participated in 3 Alpha Missions: 30:1 pledge rate
- Participated in all 4 Alpha Missions: 25:1 pledge rate
2. Gain Bonus $DEFY for Destroying Drones
Instead of meeting the daily $DEFY rewards limit exclusively via pledging FCOIN, players can choose to take down Hunter Drones as a strategy to earn $DEFY as well.
Operatives will gain 20 and 50 $DEFY for every Collector and Hunter Drone they take down respectively. It may not be as easy as it seems, however it could prove to be an effective alternative strategy to earning $DEFY!
Operation Alpha Badge Rewards
In addition to the above rewards, players who partook in each of the alpha missions are rewarded with a non-transferrable badge to commemorate their efforts. Users who own any one of the five alpha mission badges may claim a special ‘Alpha Operative’ role in our Discord server by verifying their wallet holding the badge.
Players who have taken part in every one of the five alpha missions will receive an additional Operation Alpha badge, which will also come with an additional ‘OG’ role on our Discord server.
In a future update players will be able to showcase their badges and achievements on their Operative profile in-game to indicate how early they were to being part of the DEFY revolution.
