Dear Guardians,

We are thrilled to announce an exciting evolution to The Guardian Mint and Collection that will enhance your gameplay experience and provide even more opportunities to unlock unique rewards. The web3/nft Space is changing in new and exciting ways, driven by gameplay and participation.

Virtua seasons is a first in web3, with exciting opportunities and exclusive rewards at every step of your Virtua journey and the Guardian collection will be more connected to the seasons than ever!

Rather than going with the old ‘mint then utility’ model we have seen in the space to date, we want to reward participation in the Virtua season. The right to mint and own a Guardian will become a FREE reward for everyone who reaches Level 50 in the season pass.

To reflect this new approach, we have updated your user journey!

  • Keys and Premium Track: Keys will now get you on the premium track, granting access to over 50 additional rewards. Starting this season and continuing in future seasons, you will automatically be on the premium track as long as you hold a key. If you don’t own the key, the cost for the premium track will be $25 per season.
  • Key Distribution: The top 12 players on the leaderboard will receive a Level 4 Key (worth 0.1 ETH), which will put them at Level 40 on the Season Pass. Players ranked 13 to 150 will receive a Level 3 Key (worth 0.075 ETH), putting them at Level 30. Those ranked 151 to 500 will receive a Level 2 Key (worth 0.05 ETH), putting them at Level 20. Finally, players ranked 501 to 1000 will receive a Level 1 Key (worth 0.025 ETH), putting them at Level 10.
  • Key Sale: The remaining keys will be available for purchase through the dashboard. However, please note that there will be limited supply. The pricing for the remaining keys will be as follows:
  • Key 4: 0.1 ETH (approximately $170)
  • Key 3: 0.075 ETH (approximately $130)
  • Key 2: 0.05 ETH (approximately $90)
  • Key 1: 0.025 ETH (approximately $45)

The Guardians:

The Guardians will now be available as a free mint when you successfully complete all 50 levels of the Season Pass. Once you reach Level 50, you can claim your free Guardian. Please note that users will be responsible for paying the gas fees during the claim process. Each user can only claim one free Guardian. If you wish to acquire more Guardians, you will need to explore the secondary market.

Exciting Future Features: In the months to come, we have some exciting features lined up for The Guardians collection with Virtua Labs (NFT Editor). Customize your Guardians with off-chain asset switching, faction integration, and name-changing options. Explore the trait marketplace, access exclusive weapons and shields, choose elemental skills, and select unique voice packs. Stay tuned for updates on these exciting features!

Additionally, we would like to inform you that reveal for The Guardians will occur at the end of the Founder’s Season.

Stay tuned for further updates and information regarding the exact date and process of the NFT mint and reveal. We can’t wait to see you claim your Guardian and experience all the incredible features and rewards that await you!
