HECO AMA Series Recap — NEXTYPE
Guest: Ronn, COO of NEXTYPE
Host: Andy of HECO
Introduction — Segment I
Today with us we have Ronn from NEXTYPE! Welcome, Ronn! Could you tell us about yourself? What did you do before NEXTYPE and why did you choose to work for NEXTYPE?
Ronn: Hey, thanks for having me here to hold this AMA! Glad to be speaking with the HECO community.
I’m Ronn, COO of NEXTYPE. Before working at NEXTYPE, I have 10 years’ experience in a famous game company, in which I was in charge of the operation of more than ten games. Some of them are truly successful and the MAU is up to 1 million.
I chose to work at NEXTYPE because I find blockchain fascinating. Moreover, I believe DeFi and NFT are going to revolutionize the traditional game industry.
Q&A — Segment II
Q1. Could you briefly introduce NEXTYPE to our members?
We define NEXTYPE as the cross-chain GAME+NFT+DeFi integrated application ecology, which will create more efficient and freer NFT swapping protocols for the blockchain world and provide users with high-quality blockchain game Dapps.
In fact, NEXTYPE not only needs to complete the underlying technical support and the self-research of blockchain games, but also provides an ecological platform for partners to participate in co-construction, co-governance, and co-sharing.
To realize this mission, we will launch 8–10 self-developed games with various themes and playing methods in this year, and link at least 10 cooperative games to construct NEXTYPE Games matrix.
And the open beta test for MiningTycoon, the initial game of NEXTYPE, was launched on 19th July.
Copy this link and open it in the wallet browser using HECO chain, and you could experience the fun of the game and earn remarkable revenue.
AirDrop held with CoinMarketCap is ongoing, which will distribute 30,000 USDT valued NT. Get free NT through some easy tasks: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nextype/
Q2. Could you provide some information about MiningTycoon, the initial game of NEXTYPE?
MiningTycoon is aimed at developing an interesting game with the properties of games and blockchain, which is developed in the path of traditional games.
MiningTycoon uses virtual mining as a core game method. In addition to NT reward, mining will also produce other buff props, such as Mining License, which is an essential prop to participate in the high-level BTC mining pool. Players can collect and stake the Mining License to get BTC every day. In the future, players can get NFT through staking mining.
Yes, that is right. You can get REAL BTC in MiningTycoon!
This is the gameplay introduction video which tells you how to get more BTC.
Besides, unlike other blockchain games that require you to purchase props or NFTs in advance, there is no cost for you to play MiningTycoon. You can stake to get yields and withdraw it at any time you want. Basically, it’s a free game for you to make money.
Q3: You said the open beta test of MiningTycoon has been launched, how is it going now?
Thanks for asking. Yes, it was launched at 4pm SGT on 19th July. The reason why we launched this beta is to get feedback from players, so that we will know in which aspect we can optimize to improve players’ experience and game performance.
Because of too many players entering the game than we expected, we had a little problem at the beginning. But now, everything is back to normal. And thanks to the excellent performance of the HECO chain, MiningTycoon is running smoothly right now. The top player has mined almost 700 NT.
We sincerely invite you to join this open beta test and leave your valuable suggestions to us, which will be helpful for us and MiningTycoon. And there will be rewards for players who join the test and stake successfully: https://btcmining.game/
Q4. What milestones have you achieved since the last AMA in HECO?
When we held the last AMA, the Airdrop held with HECO was still ongoing and it has ended now. And the result is very impressive, there were more than 20K users participating and those who completed all the tasks have gotten their airdrop!
Besides,$NT, NEXTYPE ecological token, has been listed on CoinMarketCap before the launch of the initial game, which happens rarely unless they agree that the project has great potential. And Airdrop with CoinMarketCap is ongoing know, you could participate to be one of 2000 lucky winners to share 400,000 NT: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nextype/
Moreover, NEXTYPE CMO, David Gulasi, as well as a Video Blogger with more than 20 million fans worldwide, has started the global promotion for MiningTycoon! That will help us to reach millions of potential users. https://youtu.be/y3Ac2V2L4KQ
Q5. What will be the role of the NEXTYPE token? What are the benefits of investing in the long run?
NT is not designed just for one game. It is the financial support of the whole platform. Every game presented by NEXTYPE will take NT as the main payment method. And we have designed several scenarios for NT consumption:
1) Stake: Players can gain extra yields from all kinds of games presented or supported by NEXTYPE through staking their NT. For example, there are several staking mechanisms in MiningTycoon, including NT single token staking and NT+USDT double token staking with higher yields. The APR of the latter one will exceed 240% at the early stage of after game launch.
Even more, advanced players could stake to mine BTC in the game every day.
2) Game Purchasing: Every game launched by NEXTYPE will set NT recharge functions. Players need to use NT to purchase NFT, props or other value assets in the game, to realize NT buybacks and increase NT value.
3) DAO Governance: Players could participate in the NEXTYPE Governance through NT voting, such as games launch, popular recommendations.
4) Burning: In the future, 15% of each week’s yields, generated by the MiningTycoon and other cooperative games, will be bought back from the secondary market to burn. And the upper limit of burning is 20% of the total supply.
With all these consumption scenarios, NT circulation will decrease, while the investment attraction will rise.
Q6. Members are always worried about the security of their assets. How could NEXTYPE guarantee that there won’t be security issues?
Users’ assets security is guaranteed in NEXTYPE.
First, every operation related with users’ crypto assets is carried out via well-tested and deployed smart contracts. There is no way for anything (including NEXTYPE developer team) to manipulate users’ assets.
Second, all smart contract source code is available in the GitHub repo. Anyone is welcome to review the source code and compare it with the deployed version on the blockchain.
Third, our smart contract source code has been audited by the prestigious security company CertiK. Before our launch, they have helped us test and improve the security mechanisms. Here is the audit report: https://www.certik.org/projects/nextype
So we can guarantee that users in NEXTYPE will never face the security issues.
Q7. Could you share with us the next plan for NEXTYPE?
At present, the most important thing for us is to make sure of the success of the open beta test, then we could release the official version.
As for further plan, we will focus on 2 main aspects:
1.Products
As I said earlier,the open beta test of the initial game, MiningTycoon, has been launched.
Except for MiningTycoon, we will also launch 8–10 self-developed games with various themes and playing methods in this year and cooperate with at least 10 games to create NEXTYPE games matrix and build a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain games.
2.Marketing
We have made a good start in cooperation with the Japanese market. Next, we will continue to develop more market cooperation, such as KOLs, communities and other institutions that will help us.
And we attach great importance to community awareness. The number of members in our global community is almost 40K. Besides, official Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian and Pakistan, Arabic communities have been created, and Japanese and Russian communities are in preparation.
And if everything is going well, we will plan to promote $NT to the Exchanges this year.
The future of NEXTYPE is promised, so why don’t you join us right now?
