Final week’s visitor was a mission that reproduces the DeFi mannequin with NFT and permits staking many Cardano NFT collections to earn HEXO tokens.

This initiative is a degree of reference for NFTs on Cardano and each week or two we are going to invite somebody to reply some questions and provides us an replace straight from inside the Cardano group.

Contemplating that lots of our readers are new to the crypto area, we could have a combine of straightforward and technical questions.

Hey, glad to have you ever right here. Please introduce your crew, the place are you from, what are your backgrounds?

My title is Oliver and I’m one of many founders of Phoenix Area NFT.

I’m primarily based in Glasgow, Scotland. I graduated from regulation faculty however discovered little interest in it. Since then I’ve labored in administration, gross sales and engineering.

I’ve been concerned with cryptocurrencies and ADA since early 2019. All the abilities from my previous work experiences have been helpful in the case of Phoenix Area.

What’s Phoenix Area and why have you ever chosen the Cardano blockchain on your mission?

Phoenix Area is a Cardano NFT mission creating a P2E RPG-style autobattler sport. The core gameplay revolves round gamers selecting their squad for battle from the character NFTs they personal, deciding on their objects, abilities, and assault sequences, and battling towards different gamers.

The meta gameplay revolves round buying and creating abilities and kit, and creating new hero/squad builds to climb up the leaderboard. Phoenix Area has bought 3 NFT units: Max, Diver, and only recently the set known as Fluffy.

The NFTs passively reward customers with the mission in-game forex WARI and different belongings. The NFTs will even present house owners with an in-game identification and objects for his or her stock.

We’re drawn to Cardano for its scientific and engineering rigor to ship a decentralized, safe and scalable blockchain. We imagine Cardano could have a deeply optimistic influence on how humanity organizes itself. We hope to be part of the evolution of this superb platform by our modest contribution.

How would you clarify the potential of NFTs in gaming to essentially the most skeptic avid gamers who suppose NFTs and P2E/P&E (Play to Earn/Play & Earn) are basically the identical as P2W (Pay to Win) mechanics?

As a gamer one of many issues that frustrates me essentially the most is which you could grind for a full 12 months e.g FIFA23 construct up your squad after which it’s important to begin from 0 once more when the following sport version is launched. There isn’t any ROI other than the leisure.

Not solely are NFTs most definitely the way forward for gaming however they’ll permit thousands and thousands of gamers to work together with and compete with on-line avid gamers whereas incomes tokens inside a digital world.

Now you can earn whereas enjoying and personal, acquire, and even promote your in-game objects. P2E may even be a boon to your price range if you play as a facet hustle.

You’re collaborating with a number of different NFT tasks together with Cardania and Cardano Lands, are you able to inform us extra about this? Why are these cross-projects collabs vital? Is cooperation higher than competitors?

Phoenix Area has a collaboration format the place their NFT characters have objects which have been created within the spirit of the mission they’re collaborating with. The earlier Diver NFT had a collaboration with Cardania the place Diver has a set of Cardania-themed objects and Cardania-themed Divers additionally obtain Cardania RADTokens as passive rewards. The newest Fluffy NFT drop has themed objects in collaboration with Cardania, Melting Moonboys, and Derp Birds.

The token partnerships create a bridge between the completely different tasks and is one thing distinctive within the CNFT area. With 1 NFT you’ll be able to earn as much as 6 completely different tokens, introducing you to doubtlessly 6 completely different communities.

I’m a agency believer that it’s wiser to work collectively reasonably than towards one another. As an illustration if a mission desires to construct a market and the preliminary funding is 50K would it not not make extra sense for five tasks to all make investments 10k every to construct software program that may very well be utilized by all 5?

Thanks kindly on your time. Any closing ideas? The place can individuals be taught extra about Phoenix Area?

We’re constructing a P2E sport that’s interesting to each the informal and the aggressive hardcore avid gamers alike. PA collaboration system has the potential to deliver the entire area collectively and battle within the Phoenix Area. We aren’t solely constructing a sport, we’re constructing a model.
