Mary: Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with Seascape! Welcome to Satoshi Club
Kerel: Hey Guys, nice to meet you
Mary: Glad to see Seascape again in our club!
You already have been here, but we have a lot of new members in the group so, i will ask you to introduce yourself and Seascape again
Kerel: Hi, my name is Kerel the CMO of Seascape. I'm have been working in marketing all my life, mostly in gaming and crypto. Joined crypto professionally in 2017, and never looked back ever since.
David: Greetings. I'm David, and I'm founder and creative director of the Seascape Network. I've been developing games now for nearly ten years, with a diverse background ranging from mobile games to AAA titles. Around 2015, I became heavily interested in the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities. Excited by the prospect of decentralization, and the potential impact this could have on gaming in the future, I partnered up with my long-time work partner, Nicky Li and got to work on trying to bring what we thought was missing to the industry.
We worked on BLOCKLORDS, a medieval blockchain strategy game that launched on Tron, Neo, Ethereum, Matic, Loom and Icon, before deciding to launch Seascape.
Kerel: Seascape is the ultimate blockchain gaming platform built around the DeFi and NFT economy. We are building a gaming ecosystem incentivizing both developers and players, where you will be rewarded for interacting with any part of the platform.
Mary: I see that you are using your experience to the fullest, Seascape has grown a lot and reached insane heights!
Kerel: Yeah, these last few months have been very exciting with a lot of releases and partnerships.
David: Yes, our token launched on Feb. 1st and it's been a wild ride since then. Our token, NFTs, and games are now fully live on both ETH and BSC, with Moonbeam version coming soon.
so far we've got over 30K NFTs minted from our games, which is a truly amazing number.
D. Moderator: do you have unlimited supply of NFTs
David: The NFTs are minted by our users, so as long as there is demand from the users, the supply can always increase. That said, it takes CWS to create those NFTs usually, or some other form of network participation such as LP mining. There is also a time limit in how the games are divided into seasons similar to games like Fortnite So when a season ends, it will impossible to get that same NFT in the early season generation again.
Mary: Yes! And i feel more are coming! Did your team also become bigger?
Kerel: Yes, we have been growing and getting more people from everywhere around the world and will continue to do so. We have aso gotten some active users helping us out so it's really been a blast, and we're looking forward to the future.
Mary: Maybe you have some news to tell us today? š We love secrets, news and hints here. And of course, if you ask, we won't tell anyone.
David: I'd say the most important and secret news is the gaming-focused launchpad that we are working on these days as getting new games to Seascape is a top priority, we are designing a system that will allow our loyal users to get first dibs on new tokenized game projects.
These IDO's will help fund new great game projects that will take defi gaming to the next level. We are introducing this via our Player-Created-Coin system, or PCC, which is quite innovative, all new Seascape IDO tokens will be backed by CWS, meaning if the new project were to fail, the player would still be able to exchange the new token for the backed CWS this will create a more stable launchpad system with a clear goal, delivering excellent defi games for our users, and making loyal seascape fans early investors in a ton of new projects that benefit the network.
Mary: When do you plan to launch your launchpad
David: It's still in the design phase, so still a few months away. But we're doing our best to bring it to our users fast and have already picked out a couple of projects to begin this process with.
TELEGRAM COMMUNITY QUESTIONS
Q1
Your latest DeFi game is focused around NFT staking, we are talking about Staking Saloon and you made it through the big door with an event named the Combo Blaster Campaign, can you tell us what will be this event about? Will the Satoshiclubbers get a special chance to participate? What are the requirements?
Kerel: Our latest game, staking saloon has now been live for a few days and in it, you can stake up to 3 NFTs per wallet. When staking an NFT you are then given rewards in the form of CWS depending on the power of your NFTs and how long you have been staking it for.
And when you claim your rewards the NFT will be burned but one of the most interesting mechanic of the game comes from the bonus system. When staking all 3 NFTs you can get a bonus applied in the form of a multiplier to all your rewards so finding some of the best combos can multiply your earnings by as much as 100%.
We have launched a new campaign called Combo Blast that rewards players for sharing the combos they have found to the community.
**Mary: That's cool! Btw, what is your the most expensive NFT?
David: Well here for example you can see 3 legendaries are earning over 3 CWS per day, and it was even higher at the start of season 1 of staking saloon, so we have seen legendaries sell for prices in the 10's of thousands of dollars.
And this is only the first season. These early gen legendaries will only increase in earning power each generation. And since they are burned whenever the saloon prize is claimed, and can't get minted again since the season ended, we expect them to only increase in value.
Q2
Any game released on Seascape has the optional feature of creating their own blockchain with its own set of rules, how customizable would those blockchains be, how many experiences would be required to be a developer in Seascape?
David: Each blockchain has a unique set of limitations regarding usability, scalability and fees. While the first version of Seascape is more focused on delivering a cross-chain experience across eth, bsc, and polkadot, we do not think that is quite flexible enough to attract some of the largest game developers and publishers in the industry. so over the long term, our aim is to create customizable chains, where the game dev can mint their own platform native coin, set fees, nodes, validators, and governance designed entirely around each game.
This will all be backed and funded with CWS of course While it is still a few years away, the game chain concept is something we are constantly reiterating and designing based on our current cross-chain launch experiences.
Q3
Every player who owns Crowns will receive a āPayWaveā drop, I have been reading how it is obtained I am confused, how is the supply of PayWave depends on the spending of tokens in the ecosystem? How does this mechanism work in relation to the amounts of tokens spent?
Kerel: Tokens are used in some of our games lick NFT Brawl, and instead of being burnt these tokens are locked away in a smart contract effectively reducing the circulating supply instead of having to burn them. These tokens would then later on be redistributed back t the community as a form of incentive for interacting with the ecosystem. Hodlers of CWs would receive the tokens for simply keep on hodling.
As we release more and more games the amount of tokens spent would add to the pool and more would be given back to the community.
Q4
Iām a CWS token investor as I know Binance and many other companies invested on Seascape. Now with my tokens where can I make leverage trades and where can I stake my tokens for getting the highest APY? Could you please share the details for farming with CWS and pCWS tokens and the details of pools of your partners whose has Crowns token pools?
Kerel: Right now we have farms in uniswap for ETH and bakeryswap and pancakeswap for BSC, we also have add vaults made in beefy finance and autofarm for the juiciest APYs.
my personal favorite for APY right now is Auto: https://autofarm.network/
autofarm.network (https://autofarm.network/)
D.Satoshi: How is it better than cake and bake?
David: Autofarm autoamically reinvests your cake and bake earnings into new LP tokens, which compounds your deposits and grows your earing power every day. It's slow at the start, but the growth is exponential if you give it a few months or a year. The Autofarm pCWS vault is giveing out over 2K% APY yearly currently that is pretty insane to be honest.
Kerel: as for leverage trading we partnered with wowswap to give you leverage trading up to 5X. With pancake V2 up they have to reformat the smart contracts but it should be back u in a week or two and we'll hold a trading competition over there as soon as it's live.
Q5
I could read on your Medium Blog that very soon you will establish a partnership with the Moonbeam team, in order to expand to many more users, but really how important is this partnership for Seascape? How many benefits would you get from establishing this partnership?
David: We will be one of the first teams to deploy a defi product on Moonbeam. They are giving us great support, both with technical support and also via our grant. we are commited to redistributing this grant to our user, so playing our game will actually be one of the best ways to earn Moonbeam tokens after it launches. So I strongly suggest you guys get involved in seascape if you want to get on that train.
Q6
One thing that interests me most is the ease and uniqueness at which Seascape has been able to brilliantly gamify DeFi. Seascape has been able to incorporate concepts such as yield farming, staking, CDP etc., and turned them into fun gaming activities giving users and investors an opportunity to engage in critical financial operations while also having fun and earning rewards. Even as this approach appears laudable and great, how would you measure the general adoption of Seascapeās model by the gaming and DeFi communities, and what other brilliant DeFi themed games should we look out for in the coming months?
David: There are really no limits to what is possible. We plan to continue releasing a stream of new games centered around these DeFi concepts, and currently we are not short on any ideas as there are tons of ways of adding financial incentives to NFTs.
Also, the brilliant part about all this is that there's a ton of innovation in the space every single day, and as long as new defi concepts are introduced, we will be there with our partner developers to build games around those concepts!
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Q For the staking saloon, how many NFTs can I stake for each of my wallets?
David: Each wallet is limited to 3 NFTs at the same time on Staking Saloon. When you claim rewards from one NFT, it is burned and the slot will be opened up again. Combo bonuses are granted only if you claim all 3 NFTs at the same time. So there are a lot of different strategies you can consider when you decide which NFT to stake.
Q How important do you consider the community in the success of this project, what marketing skills are you using to build a STRONG COMMUNITY and AUDIENCE, IS there any AMBASSADOR event.
Kerel: As a blockchain and DeFi project our community and users are at the center of everything that we do. For marketing, we started by having social channels, which we are planning to increase the reach to new languages. We have an ambassador program for our most active users and are starting to increase our reach and engagement with influencers that like our project. We always encourage our community to come and participate more actively to help make the project bigger and better.
Q Can you tell us what website do we possible to do trade buy and sell NFT? Do you sell pack for your NFT, if yes how to purchase it?
David: Our NFTs are available on major NFT trading marketplaces on both ETH and BSC, Opensea and Treasureland are our recommended NFT markets. We are also working on our own solution
https://opensea.io/collection/seascape
Q In the world cryptocurrency competition, what features are most important to attract investors and the community!! Can you provide a list of deadly features that scare your competitors over your project?
Kerel: Usability, profitability and regular engagement are what you want from a project. We are currently one of the only projects bringing about increase usability for NFTs, and will provide new and more exciting new to implemenent DeFi and NFTs economies in a fun and engaging format by gamifying these element or even bring them to regular games.
Q What is the maximum amount of APY can I get from staking with Combo Blast?
David: Determining the exact APY is hard since the invested amount depends on how much you paid for your NFT, whether in NFT brawl or on the market, but the best combo in the game offers a 100% bonus on all accumulated rewards during the season.
Q Can you explain how Seascape gives utility to its NFTs? Are these just collectibles or have any particular usage?
David: We plan to continue providing many usecases for our NFTs, maine ones being gaming power, earning potential, and staking ability. We also will continue offering airdrops and other special perks to all our early NFT holders.
Q The first set of Arctic Seascape Studio badges, Blocklords has been displayed in no less than 6 different block blocks since its inception (ETH, TRON, NEO, loom, icon, and MATIC). Have you managed to add new blocks? Detail the progress made in this first quarter?
Kerel: Blockclord was actually the first blockchain game of the team, but our first game for Seascape was Profit Circus. Blocklord has you said was integrated into many different blockchains and it's the difficulty of implementing on new blockchains that lead to us wanting to create a platform for game devs to be able to use well made and documented tools to not have to suffer as we did. We do not plan to release it onto new blockchains but rather have other games be able to use our platform to release on several good chain projects with a strong audience and advantages.
Q What was the greatest achievement of SEASCAPE since it has started? What do you want more to solve and achieve in the world of NFT?
David: Honestly there are too many achievements to count at this point. Since our launch 3 months ago we've released our tokens on Eth and BSC, launched 3 games succesfully, given out close to $5m in game rewards, opened lucrative pools with great partners, and launched on several exchanges. We couldn't be happier but know that we still have. more work to do and will continue delivering to our supporters!
