Dracards, Roadmap and Trust.
The last few weeks have been intense for the Dracards team and now that we have been listed on SundaeSwap and MuesliSwap for a few days, we took a moment to reflect on our planning and especially to position our players and investors who form an incredibly united community.
Listing our Token has been an incredible success and is something we are very proud of. A few days before the listing we were still selling the Token via P2P and with the increase in the number of transactions we saw some FIRE transfers fail and this required 50 hours of uninterrupted work to solve the problem and ensure that everyone received their FIRES.
Here’s a special thanks to Lucas Alsberg from Dracards team who led the fix for this issue and spent more than 24 hours without sleep working to resolve each of the problematic transactions.
With the listing, we started the process of controlling the inflation of the FIRE token, we know that it is great that our FIRE gains more and more market value, but we also know that an uncontrolled growth in value will increase the price of boosters and decrease the entry of new players, and we don’t want that, but as we know this is a difficult scale to balance and every action must be taken carefully.
Price adjustments in Boosters
Boosters will be sold for FIREs and initially the value of each booster would be 10,000, but we reviewed the calculations, saw that the appreciation of our currency was at a higher rate than previously planned and we decided to decrease to 3,000 each booster.
This is not a value that pleases everyone, but it is the value that we believe will be beneficial to the economy in the long term. Decreasing the value of boosters would affect the amount of FIREs people would have on hand, this would make the value of the FIRE lower and lower and not the other way around.
When launching a blockchain game, the initial moments and management of the economy are the most important as it is the moment when many tokens are in the hands of few people, so every action and control needs to be done extremely careful.
So, I would like to reinforce that even though it is not a satisfactory value for many of our players, it is a value that will keep the economy stable for a long time, which will help us achieve Dracards longevity objective.
Roadmap
The fulfillment of the roadmap is one of the first points where many rely themselves to consider a project to be trustable or not, I disagree a little, I think that being transparent is what brings us closer to the honesty, which is important when we talk about a project where people put thousands or even millions of dollars as an investment.
In our roadmap planned back in September 2021, we considered that we would deliver the PVP at the end of March, but due to several factors this can no longer be considered a feasible date.
We had the idea of being listed on SundaeSwap at the beginning of December, with several of our integrations already completed, but the delays in the releases of DEXs, the technical difficulties encountered in developing something on a network still under development made this date not so reachable, but it would be in Q2 2022, when we would have an even greater maturity in relation to development and we could accelerate deliveries even more.
Smart Contracts
We’ve come a long way with our smart contracts, which will need to be finalized and audited, but our contracts will control such amazing things that I’m ecstatic just thinking about it.
- We will have a market for NFTs (lands and cards) with a similar operation to SpaceBudz (thanks Berry Pool and team), where every NFT can receive a purchase proposal and also the NFT owner being able to list for sale at the value he thinks it should.
- We will have a land rental system where a person who does not have all the slots occupied in their land can make it available, so that others who do not have available slots can stake their cards. Through a smart contract deal, both sides win, one renting the slot and the other staking with the card on it.
- Blocking tokens via smart contract. As recently announced we will block all FIREs that come back into our hands for 365 days and we want to soon accomplish this through a smart contract that blocks and releases that same amount exactly 365 days after that block.
Agreements and Partnerships
We have been talking to many, many people from all over the world about investments and partnerships to accelerate the development of the game, they are people and investors from countries like China, India and even a Brazilian investment fund to make Dracards a really amazing game and you who follow us closely will be the first to know when something interesting happens.
Reliability
I confess that it makes me extremely sad and to some extent fearful when I hear news of rug pool or projects that people believed to be scams.
Be trustworthy has always been a concern of Dracards since day one, that’s why our names appear in the whitepaper, social networks, photos, some of Dracards’ players and investors even follow us on social networks, which I have always left open to anyone who wants to find me.
If I could give you a tip, I would suggest holding your FIREs, investing more in our universe with the purchase of lands and following our project that will be something really amazing, but I prefer to say… Keep following us and seeing the evolution of our project that is being made to be something lasting, immersive, fun and unprecedented.
One of the great characteristics of our team is the power of accomplishment and we are very excited to make it all happen, with the transparency and trust you deserve.
Thank you to all our investors, players and people who have made this project one of the main ones in the Cardano network, we are proud to have you around.
