VikingChains AMA Summary Recap with Shin Chan Community
We held a live AMA with Co-Founder, CK from VikingsChain on 11th September 9:00 PM (UTC+8). Here’s the recap for those who missed it.
Introduction
Serene: What kind of a team is building VikingsChain and perhaps if you could touch a bit on your backgrounds in general as well?
CK: I am CK, Co-Founder of VikingsChain. I am a fan of gaming and have been in the IT and blockchain space for around 6 years. Of which, I am particularly keen in the gaming space. We are a team of 5 currently with a diverse background in gaming development/blockchain, designing etc. We are building based on Unity software where we aim to integrate and connect gaming to the blockchain world.
Serene: Can you give an overview of your awesome project, VikingsChain. What is it about and what are you visioning for the future with it?
CK: Essentially, VikingsChain is a BSC multiplayer battle game that provides users to train heroes and win rewards in tournaments. It will not be your typical NFT games where users do not enjoy the gaming experience, but rather it will be a good hybrid combination of how we can find the sweet spot between them, to give gamers the fullest experience. The future of Gaming blockchain is certainly a huge market out there.
Serene: Your multiplayer games pivots it’s focus on in-game assets, do you think by using Blockchain it could solve a number of related problems: eliminating fraudulent items, creating scarcity, and incentivizing more purchases by making items transferable across games?
CK: Yes definitely, security is our top notch priority during the entire game development. We emphasized this heavily and decided to go with closed-beta for the start. Blockchain is able to solve certain problems but there are definitely cons, so why not fuse both and adopt a better solution?
Serene: You are organizing some tournaments in your game. Would those be single player and some score-based or would there be a possibility to play directly player versus player in some live format?
CK: The game will only be built in the multiplayer mode where users will have the opportunities to showcase their competitive skills and have a friendly match with other users. In our future development, we aim to offer more features such as PVP Modes: 1v1,2v2,3v3. That would be part of the future development pipeline.
CK: Rest assured that we will have a bi-weekly update to inform our supporters on the progress.
Serene: When would the game itself be live?
CK: Our closed beta is set to be ready at the end of September. This closed beta serves to gain more feedback from our users so as to prepare fully for the actual game play. Do take note that based on our timeline, we are moving really fast as compared to many games blockchain startups who have yet to launch anything yet. Full launch would be in Q4 2021.
Definitely, we understand everyone is excited and we aim to implement our game out as soon as possible.
Twitter Section:
Q1: Id notice that Vikings Chain is similar the video games Street Fighter but in mini version, am I right? The game will only be built in the multiplayer mode, Are there leadership board? If so, do you have any reward/incentives given to the gamers?Does the leadership board is based
CK: You can imagine this similar to the mini version of street fighters, where each individual can equip with better weapons/armours to prepare for tournaments. The leadership board would be based on the number of wins etc, and we have incentives/prizes given out monthly for the top xx winners. Users will be awarded tokens in which they are assured that they will earn more than spend within the game itself
Q2: Legendary multiplayer battle game that allows users to train heroes and win rewards in tournaments using BSC technology. Why did you decide to join BSC? Being using BSC technology, what benefits does it leave you? And, will the Vikingo chain be available in applications such
CK: Low fees and speed are our two main considerations. ETH gas fees are way too expensive. On top of that, the integrations between the network and the game itself, BSC offers the best.
These advantages have convinced the team to utilize the BSC network and there are no regrets since then.
Q3: How about $VikC tokens? What kind of utilities will they serve in your ecosystem? What kind of utilities will they serve in your ecosystem?
As an economic medium to buy these assets I assume at least?
And What else can we do with tokens?
CK: The tokens serve two main purposes:
1) Users are required to use these tokens to access tournaments. In addition, tokens can be used to purchase and upgrade deadlier weapons etc.
2) As we mentioned that we are introducing taxations, we are rewarding token holders who are strong believers, at the same time, not forgetting that we are burning the total supply as well (with the taxation itself).
Q4: I’d like to trade VikC tokens, but I’m not sure where I may do so. Is it possible for you to provide the official contract’s address? Do you have any intention to integrate NFT into the VikingsChain ecosystem, given that it is currently the hottest discussion in the crypto space?
CK: We are aiming for PancakeSwap for the start where we will provide the required liquidity for the start. Most importantly, we have not provided the smart contract yet. Please be careful of Scam!
Yea, NFTs will be introduced as part of our rewards system. It has to be unique and only given to the true warriors. Only the top ranking warriors will stand an opportunity to win these NFTs.
Q5: As you know, many people value projects based on token prices.
What should you say to investors?
What is VikingsChain’s plan to increase token demand?
CK: With much consideration, we want token holders to be well-rewarded as well as those individuals who have committed to the game. Therefore, we implemented a 5% taxation model where: 2% goes to token holders, 1% will be locked forever, and 2% to fund tournaments. Sounds enticing? ;)
Telegram Live AMA Begin:
Q6: I read from your Medium article that VIKINGSCHAIN will have a TRIPLE IDOs Launchpads Sales on BSCpad , KCCPad and Safe Launch . Can you tell us why you organised three Launchpad at the same date . Is there any benifit of buying the token from a particular launchpad ?
CK: The dates were coordinated between our advisors/launchpads. As such, they find this highly effective. There is free whitelisting available at BSCPAD/KCCPAD. However, we will advice our investors to check on the respective launchpads!
Q7: What strategy will you provide which users can adopt?
CK: There are two strategies in which an individual can consider : 1) Users can convert these tokens to in-game credits to have fun and achieve the top leadership boards. Do take note that upon converting to in-game credits, users are not allowed to change back to VIKC crypto tokens. Kindly spend wisely when required. 2) Users can hold their tokens in their cold wallet where they will enjoy the 2% token distribution which will share more later on the taxations.
Q8: VikingsChain is said to be a multiplayer game on the blockchain. How is VikingsChain different from other gaming platforms? What is unique about VikingsChain that other gaming platforms don’t have?
CK: Other blockchain games focuses too much on NFTs which loses the gaming experience. We want a balance, and this will be most effective solution that we have researched and found out.
Q9: Have you being audited ? Have not heard you talk about that security of funds is what every investor craves for and plans to escape incase of insecurity if funds,scams and rug pulls ? How strongly built are your security put in place?
CK: Oh yes, audit is key importance to us: https://t.me/VikingsChainNews/37 — Take a look at our audit report from SolidGroup. ;) Security is important.
Q10: I see that Vikingschain Three IDO’s are coming, Can You give us more update about the Launchpads,
Why did You decided to 3 IDO’s?
CK: Most gaming startups only engage 1–2 IDO launchpads. Why 3? We want to maximize the number of token holders, giving a fair opportunities to others. Ie to say, those who are eligible for IDOs are only able to invest a small amount of $$. Wont that be fantastic for individual who decided to buy off the market? Do take note that we only raised $200k+ in private sales, while the rest are via IDO sales. Rest assured that dump protection has already been considered.
Q11: I see there are various Weapons on the platform,
How can its Tiers be increased?
What advantage does it Weapons provide during the Battle?
CK: During MVP, we will introduce a range of weapon with different damage . Once our full launch is done in Q4, we will introduce more different features such as armour etc.
Q12: As an investor/user class, we are wondering who the team members are, can we learn which positions you have held before, for reassurance?
CK: Team members have a rich experience of gaming development for the past 5–10 years. Rest assured that the VCs and KOLs has already done their HW/filtering in which why VikingsChain is hyping up ;) Join us here to find out more: https://t.me/VikingsChain
Q13: can you tell how many do you hire KOLs and strategic partners in your project?
CK: We have a total of over 30+ KOLS, and the number is increasing. Do visit us https://t.me/VikingsChain and you will find the summary/investors that are onboarded with us.
