We know that you’ve been excited to see a little of what’s been going on behind the scenes at Revolve Games!

For the last two months, we’ve been working tirelessly to roll out Phase 1 of our development plan, and we’re delighted to announce that development has been going according to schedule.

This article will give an overview of the work we have completed in the development of Phase 1, as well as a sneak peek of what’s to come in Phase 2.

Revamped website

The website has undergone a serious revamping, check it out!

UX Flow

The UX flow has been optimized to seamlessly onboard new users onto the platform.

When you visit the website, you are presented with a sign in/sign up button. You are first prompted to connect your Metamask wallet.

Once your Metamask wallet has been connected, you will be presented with an email sign up form. This links your Metamask wallet with an email address. Choose a username, enter in your email and set a password… Click confirm and you are set! You have now set up your Revolve Games account, it’s as easy as that!

By clicking your username in the top right corner, you are brought to your user page; which displays your email, linked wallet address and RPG balance. From this page you are also able to change your avatar.

Liquidity Staking & Leaderboard

In Phase 1, we are merging liquidity staking with gaming, through our first flagship game Ape-in. Liquidity staking rewards are dependent on a players in-game performance. Users high scores are ranked on the leaderboard, with users who place into any of the top 3 tiers receiving staking reward multipliers.

The tiers for rewards multipliers are as follows:

Tier 1: Top 15% of players. Receive a staking multiplier of 200%

Tier 2: Top 30% of players. Receive a staking multiplier of 150%

Tier 3: Top 50% of players. Receive a staking multiplier of 125%

The idea here is not only to incentivize players to stake their tokens and provide liquidity but to also hone their gaming skills and compete with each other to win multiples on their staking rewards!

Note: Our native token RPG will be available cross-chain on both the Ethereum and the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) networks. As the transaction fees on Ethereum are astronomically high, only the RPG-BNB stakers on the BSC network will be eligible for staking multipliers.

The liquidity staking and leaderboard UI clearly displays relevant staking statistics; including rewards update countdown timer, current score, active staking multiplier, currency APY and LP stake stats.

Our first single-player blockchain game Ape-in is here!

As promised, we’re delivering our first single-player blockchain game… Ape-in! It’s a simple yet addictive high score-based game where players compete to be the first draw against the opponent (bot).

Players who wish to become eligible for ranking on the leaderboard and unlock staking rewards multipliers need to sign up with their email and connect to the game with their wallets.

You can play the game for yourself here!

What’s next?

As Phase 1 is being wrapped up, we are diving head first into the next stages of development.

In Phase 2 of development, our main focus is integration of tethered NFT assets, beginning with characters. These actionable assets are generated by staking RPG tokens, each NFT is tethered to it’s stake of the native token, giving it a constant, underlying base value. In order to unstake the RPG amount, the NFT will need to be returned back to the staking contract.

When a character is generated, it will randomly acquire traits; some rarer than others. Traits will be distributed according to a weight based system. The larger the stake of RPG, the greater the chance of acquiring rarer traits.

Generated assets will be available in the inventory/wallet, allowing the user to view a characters attributes and rarity score, as well as unstake the tethered stake of RPG and return the NFT back to the staking contract.

We will also be introducing the levels system and moving onto creating the Revolve Games marketplace.

So stay tuned… we have a lot to come, we have only just begun!
