More than Play-to-Earn

Arkverse is created by animal lovers, for animal lovers. A primary objective is to create a world-first ecosystem that allows users to explore, design, and share content related to animals. Its open-world environment has a theme around animals, and participants will interact with it. The Arkverse model incorporates play-to-earn games that allow individuals to earn real money.

Arkverse is more than just a play-to-earn metaverse. Notably, it extends into developing the world's premiere virtual ecosystem. Users may immerse themselves in an exciting open world of creatures. In addition, they can learn about many environmental challenges. The initiative plans to empower people by contributing to animal rights organizations.

ARK Animal-based NFT

Arkverse seeks to create a close-knit community of animal lovers. To accomplish this, it intends to allow users to cooperate and share user-created material, hence supporting the metaverse's organic growth. The ecosystem integrates NFTs, governance tokens, and in-game economics to provide users with a structured, sustainable, and rewarding gaming loop.

Before introducing their Metaverse, Arkverse will launch a series of ARK NFTs. Each NFT series will have its tokenomics, which will be linked to its IDO and Metaverse. Arkverse will introduce the first Arkverse NFT series, consisting of 2,022 Tigers with considerable holder benefits, on February 1st, 2022. Further down the road, Arkverse intends to launch a 3D NFT.

Arkverse Tokenomics

The Arkverse is a multi-coin system with two separate tokens - $ARK and $Haven. The project will determine the exchange rate for the two tokens before the launch of their metaverse. 

$ARK is the governance token for the Arkverse Treasury and DAO. On the other hand, $Haven is an in-game currency used in the metaverse for in-game transactions.

About $ARK token distribution, 30% of the total token supply goes to ecosystem rewards. 20% will go to the token sales, where the project will distribute tokens in purchase according to the lock-up schedule.

Metaverse development will take over 20% of the $ARK tokens. The amount allocated as a reward for team members who contributed to the early stage of the project is 10% of the total token supply. Meanwhile, the amount set aside for the animal monetary foundation is 5%. DAO's governance will determine both the donation method and amount. Meanwhile, advisors, partnerships, and marketing will all receive 5% and liquidity.

What is Next for Arkverse?

For the first quarter of 2022, the project plans to launch the pre-seed sale and a DEX listing. From there, the first NFT minting will go live involving the 12 Zodiac Animals series, followed by the opening of an NFT marketplace. There will then be a second and third minting of the 12 Zodiac Animal series, respectively. 

The first minting for the ARK NFT Animal Lives Matter series will be for the second quarter. Then, there will be the revelation of concept art and core gameplay elements. Finally, the ARK NFT Animal Lives Matter series will be the second minting.

The third and fourth quarters will release the Arkverse Alpha version and governance, respectively. Finally, there will be an Arkverse open beta in 2023.

About Arkverse

Arkverse is a blockchain-based metaverse ecosystem built by and for animal lovers. Everyone in Arkverse is free to produce, distribute, and trade content to receive economic incentives. The project aims to become a leading P2E metaverse ecosystem for exploring, creating, and sharing animal-related content.

Over the course of the past decade, the world has seen a dramatic shift on several fronts, changes that affect millions of people on a daily basis. One of these has been the decreased stigma around marijuana, and the subsequent decriminalization and legalization afterwards. The other is the advent of cryptocurrency. Now, a project emerges that seamlessly links the two, dipping its toes into two burgeoning markets to create a remarkable product. That project is TOKE.N.

Created by the same team as the PICNIC Launchpad, Cheems Inu, MicroMachines / Warbots, and Metavault, Toke.n is the next step in a broad range of projects that will be tied together in a grand plan revealed later in this article. The primary developer, Scotian OG, has years of experience in the real world marijuana industry, and in the past year has built up experience delivering innovative contracts and projects on the blockchain. 

This co-developer and partner, Inked Up, has serious experience delivering coordinated marketing, community organization, and overall project management, and the two have worked together for a long time.

TOKE.N offers multiple services and uses, but its core purpose is to offer a degree of transparency to customers that the new big-cannabis dispensaries and corporations cannot. Additionally (and equally important), it adds value for the cannabis farmers, processors, and retailers. TOKE.N seeks to return the personal nature of black-market cannabis transactions to the consumer, providing traceability, information, and a better overall experience throughout the process. Regardless of whether or not you are a casual consumer or medical patient, TOKE.N aims to restore some of the magic to the cannabis experience.

How will TOKE.N deliver these claims?

First, by using TOKE.N, the consumer will have access to information regarding where the product was farmed, the conditions it grew in, how it was processed, its genetic history, and much more. For a product as comprehensive of an experience as marijuana, people want more than an eye-catching strain name and THC/CBD percentages.

Companies that integrate with TOKE.N will have the ability to issue an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) included with the purchase of their product. This provides the company with an opportunity to directly market their brand, and adds value to the product by pairing it with a unique token that will have utility on the blockchain.

The NFTs

The NFTs available from cannabis packaging will be collectible, tradeable, and sellable. The first generation will consist of cannabis seeds that evolve into fully mature plants. Other collections will feature cannabis culture themed art and music.

For users outside Canada, NFTs can be purchased on our Marketplace or minted from our website. Users can collect sets of all strains from a grower, breeder, or region.

The Marketplace

The TOKE.N site will have both an NFT marketplace as well as a traditional online store.

The online store will provide a wide range of cannabis related paraphernalia and home growing supplies. It will be available internationally and accept TOKE.N and other crypto currencies as payment along with standard fiats.

In Canada there will be a federally licensed online medical cannabis dispensary where consumers with the proper medical documents can legally purchase cannabis and cannabis products from our partners. It is our goal to eventually accept crypto currencies for payment on this site as well.

In the past year, Scotian OG has obtained seven cannabis licenses from Health Canada for third party growers, and we have full confidence in obtaining the proper licensing for the TOKE.N project.

The Metaverse

TOKE.N will be integrated as the primary currency in a VR game called New Block City.

Players will be able to stake their TOKE.Ns and their collected or purchased NFTs on their own virtual farms in a borough of NBC called Agrestic.

The top 50 TOKE.N holders will receive free OG farms when the gaming platform launches.

NFTs will start as seeds and mature over time after the user plants (stakes) them. Seeds have genetic attributes and terpene profiles which affect their growth, yield, and value.

Users can “breed” two NFT seeds into one hybrid plant that will have genetic components of each seed. These hybrids can be more or less valuable then their parents on the marketplace. Each user creation will be unique and provide for varied gameplay over time.

New Block City Integration

NBC is an upcoming play to earn gaming experience. It will take place in a virtual open world city. Players will compete against each other for money, property, power and fame among five unique city boroughs. Successful players will master the New Block City economy and earn real wealth.

The Founders:

Agrestic — TOKE.N

Gotham — Cheems

Hawkins — MMAC

Springfield — MiniKishu

Charming — Picnic / MetaVault

Agrestic (TOKE.N) — Agriculture — The super-crop, hemp, is grown in abundance here. Hemp is used throughout the city for fuel, food, building supplies and medicine. Agrestic residents receive passive income from all legal city activity and TOKE.N is accepted city wide as currency for any transaction.

TOKE.N is not only its own powerful and innovative concept, but it is another step in the rollout of the New Block City metaverse, a crucial component in a cohesive plan. Wait and see what else is coming.

As a gamer myself, I spend a lot of time (too much probably) imagining what the future of gaming will look like. I do have to admit that I have been very disappointed in the slower than expected advancement of gaming technology over the past 20 or so years. I remember playing Super Mario 64 […]
