we are really excited about the upcoming AMA with you. by the way, will you be one speaker?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Same time for me, where are you from?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
@TheKroge should be on shortly. He might have been pulled into something real quick.
I’m located in the midwest of the United States. Illinois more specifically.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Btw, nice to meet you Nick😃
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Likewise.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Please give us a short introduction about you!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Great 👌 thanks! let’s start 🚀
Introduce yourself, please. How did you get to be involved in crypto & CryptoBlades?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Sure I’m happy to start and @TheKroge can hop in.
My name is Nick Newcomer and I am the COO for CryptoBlades. I’m a lifelong gamer, mainly RPGs, and a collector of sorts. Until this year I was a math and science teacher at a college prep school but have kept tabs on the crypto space because of my connection with Philip and his interest. In July, Philip offered me a position on the team and we have been working very closely since.

Nick | CryptoBlades:
This was really fun.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
I really like this tweet 😁 on your page.
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Hi everyone I’m here as well!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Hi Philip 😁 nice to e-meet you 😊 welcome to Satoshi Club
Nick | CryptoBlades:
To give some context to this, the knight that is dancing is from CryptoBlades. This is a contest that is currently going on where users are able to submit a video of them dancing. Philip did his on Halloween in his costume. He is somewhat far away, but he is Edward Scissorhands. And yes, he does leave on a zipline.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Great background btw, by we have several gamers in our group. So please tell us what is the essence of Cryptoblades?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
I can take this one!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Haha.. you funny guys! and I like you😁🔥
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
CryptoBlades is an NFT-Crafting role-playing game where players can create powerful characters, level them up, fight enemies, participate in raids, and take part in our soon-to-be-released PvP. CryptoBlades Kingdoms is our Metaverse offering where we have a play to earn game mode, as well as an interoperable metaverse layer for any GameFi project to interact with their own NFTs
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Please tell us a bit about your team
Who is on the project team core?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Our team is made up of myself, Philip Devine, Owner of Riveted Games. I started Riveted Games in 2014 and have released multiple award-winning games on multiple platforms, while also participating in the crypto community personally since 2014.
Kyle is our lead open-source developer and leads a team of 10 developers working on a multitude of different projects within the CryptoBlades ecosystem, and coordinating with over 50 open source contributors at github.com/cryptoBlades
Nick is our COO and manages our extensive list of partnerships, heads our Knighthood Program where we incubate other GameFi projects and coordinates our team to make sure all loose ends are tied up
Aaron is our CMO and leads an extensive team of Social Media Managers which has so far granted us over 2,000,000 impressions per month on socials, and leads our marketing efforts for informing users about our products and partnerships
Dan is our lead game designer and has been working with me since 2015 in the Game industry and is a game-design savant.
Nick | CryptoBlades:
What was great, but also provided an early challenge was how quickly the project took off. Because of this we have been stretched and have now brought on some truly wonderful people to our team. I think it allows us to focus more on what we, individually, are great at and further elevate the project.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Real dream team👏👏👏
Thanks for a great introduction, we have several questions which were selected for the 1st part. Ready to start?
Q1 from Telegram User @Ajpaa
Reading about the CryptoBlades project I noticed that you highlighted the release of V2.0 which will integrate features like Custom marketplace, Seasonal rewards, and Cross-chain Bridge… How will the custom marketplace work and what are its unique features? How will the seasonal rewards be deployed and what are the requirements to be eligible for these rewards? What are your plans for the Cross-chain Bridge? When should we be expecting this V2.0?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
The marketplace has been developed already and is one of the most heavily transacted marketplaces in the world with over 1,000,000 NFTs sold. The NFT and Token Bridges are both in active development, with our initial Token bridge working on WAX and BSC, and with our SKILL token is available on Polygon, Heco, OkexChain, and BSC. Our proprietary NFT bridge will bring our unique gaming NFTs to all of the above chains.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Wow! these are really great achievements👏👏👏
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I can take part in this here too.
Something that I am particularly excited about is our new marketplace. We are developing a program to help younger projects grow and support established projects. A part of this partnership will be to offer their tokens as rewards in CryptoBlades, which will increase token holders. We will also list their NFTs directly on our marketplace for users to spend their tokens.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Please give us a link to your Marketplace
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
https://app.cryptoblades.io/#/market
Nick | CryptoBlades:
https://app.cryptoblades.io/#/market
Something very cool right now is under the “Skill Shop” tab, users can purchase Lands for the upcoming CryptoBlades: Kingdoms using either SKILL or KING.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
It looks great🔥
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Amazing🥳
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
What’s your favorite feature? 😁
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Of the market specifically?
I find myself taking a look at the “Browse NFTs” tab longer than I would like to admit searching for swords that I feel are being sold under their value.
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Raids are a really unique feature that acts as an NFT lottery in a way, where
players stake their NFTs and can win multiple kinds of rare NFTs just for
staking. These NFTs can be traded with other players, utilized as power-ups in
the future, and even drop the ultra-powerful 5-star cryptoblades, which offer
the most play-to-earn rewards
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
And it’s very tempting 🤩🤩🤩
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for the great answers, let’s go with the second question or do you want
to add something else?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I was just going to add on to what Philip mentioned. Overall, I think raids are really fun within CryptoBlades, but I’m really looking forward to some features that are on the horizon.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Absolutely agree with you😊⚔️😊
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
As a gamer, definitely I have to play it 😁
Q2 from Telegram User @JesusFre1tes
Your game model allows me to create powerful NFT weapons and characters to defeat my enemies or trade them in your exclusive marketplace. This is really cool, but we have seen experiences from other projects where the overproduction of NFT leads to a devaluation and depreciation of them. My question is, how will CryptoBlades control this? What methods will they use to keep NFT production from outstripping demand? As with other tokens, will these NFTs have a certain shelf life that allows them to be burned in the short or long term?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
We have a unique NFT Burning system where you can combine the power of NFTs to upgrade them into one massively powerful NFT. We also are implementing Character Burning which will act in the same way to make a single character more powerful, which also, in turn, reduces the gas required to play the game. Finally, the utility is in their play-to-earn potential as well as interoperability with our metaverse, and other partnered metaverses.
Nick | CryptoBlades:
This is a really great question. One thing that is active right now is the ability to make “dust”. And dust is really cool because it is created by taking weapon NFTs and burning them. You can then use the dust to increase the power of one of your other swords.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Oh yeah… The Metaverse is a crypto trend today. And I love that you did it
before it was mainstream.😁
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Yes! Interoperability is a huge push right now for our team. How can we increase the utility and value of our NFTs not only within CryptoBlades but within other partnered projects as well? This is very exciting for us.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Talking about burning, have you any deflationary strategy for your supply of tokens? Burning token event for example
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Our token does not have burn events, and instead, we recycle them into our rewards pool. So 100% of the income we make in SKILL goes back to our rewards pool!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Great system.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Another great reason to invest in $KING 😎
Q3 from Telegram User @Cheriemike
On your website, you only have the numbers of those CrytoBlades has partnerships with, which is 16 partnerships. So can we get to know those you have collaborated with to enhance the growth of your project? So far how have they supported your project in terms of becoming the best amongst other platforms? What skills/techniques have they all brought to your platform to make it an enjoyable one for users? I also noticed you had a partnership with Chainlink, knowing that Chainlink is an oracle network. What role will they play on your platform? Are you also in talks to have more partnerships? Please Explain Thanks
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
We have a variety of partners that assist us in:
Advisory and strategy
Marketing support and user acquisition
Play-To-Earn strategy
Networking and Business Development
Technology and Infrastructure support
Funding for large projects such as our Metaverse
All of which came together to help us launch 2 tokens successfully, continue innovating in the blockchain gaming and metaverse space, and drive a healthy community to our project. And there’s more to come!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Could you tell us about the main use cases of those tokens?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I can take part in this question too.
We might only have 16 partners listed, but I feel like we have been connected with at least a hundred different groups. Some of our close partners we meet with about weekly to discuss strategy and marketing. We also bounce ideas off of each other. Many times too, different partners are working with projects and they make an introduction. If it is a good fit, which most of the time it is, we work out some type of collaboration. Our partners are invaluable to us and we are incredibly lucky to be connected with such amazing people.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Congratulations, partnerships make projects become stronger, and we are happy to be part of your marketing partners, it is a great honor for our community.💪
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
KING is the native token that drives our Metaverse offerings while SKILL drives the CryptoBlades ecosystem and services we offer there. SKILL is specifically used for purchasing NFTs, participating in our Marketplace, buying power-ups and cosmetics, and upgrading NFTS. KING is collected from resources within our metaverse and is used to reward players in CryptoBlades Kingdoms
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for the clarification!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for clarifying😊 let’s proceed to the next question if you don’t mind🚀
Q4 from Telegram User @kimzyemma
In the gameplay, you stated the four different elements which are FIRE, EARTH, LIGHTNING, and WATER. Going through the functions of these elements I found out that they also possess two different types which explanations about them are not given, can you enlighten us more about the functions of each element? Can users choose their favorite elements or element of the character that will be assigned at random? Before entering combat, how can we mint weapons?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Weapons are minted in the Blacksmith after you Recruit your first character from the Plaza. The elements synergize so an EARTH weapon will synergize with an EARTH character and be more effective against LIGHTNING monsters, but weak against FIRE enemies. The idea is to collect a powerful CryptoBlade with the same trait as your character to double up the bonuses.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Could you share images of the live game? Let us check those amazing graphics😃
Nick | CryptoBlades:
There are 4 different elements for both characters and weapons. Weapons, however, have an unaligned option too. Within the game, there is a system where if you fight with a water character and a water weapon, there is an advantage over a fire enemy.
Fire < Water < Lightning < Land <Fire
You are able to create a new character that is a random element, but what I would suggest doing is taking a look at the marketplace and picking up a character that has already been leveled up a little bit, and find 4 that are all the same element. When crafting a new blade it is typically random, but there is an option to select your desired element for a little extra. Again, I would suggest taking a look through the market at listed weapons too.
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Here is my personal inventory of blades, highlighting my 5-star blades:
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Here is the current raid that is taking place as well as the Skill Shop within our market.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Amazing designs, would be great to have a physical version of them for collectors.
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
And while CryptoBlades Kingdoms is in development, you can also see concepts here at cryptobladeskingdoms.io
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Excellent system and playability, congratulations for your team, you have everything well planned👏
Nick | CryptoBlades:
That is an interesting idea. It would be cool to offer in the future as part of a limited collection or something.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
What is the inspiration behind the designs? Maybe World of Warcraft or age of empires?
Completely agree, I think physical NFTs are the next step of the market.
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Definitely Diablo-esque as well as high-fantasy!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for your great answers 😃 ready to proceed to the next question?
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Great game as well, one of the most popular ever
I think everything is very clear, time to proceed😁🥳
Q5 from Telegram User @Orlemys
I read about something called staKING or king staking on your telegram group. It seems that it is a feature you will release in the future. Tell us more about it. What is it about? Why has it taken so long to release it? Do you have a set date? Will it be better than taking on the LP? If so, how?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I’m sorry I got disconnected there for a bit.
I’m wondering if the same happened to Philip.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Don’t worry, take your time
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Do not hurry. You are our guests and we want you to present your project as best as possible.😊
Nick | CryptoBlades:
In regards to the KING, staking goes, that is something that @TheKroge has taken on and I haven’t had too many dealings with it. I can confirm that it is something to be released soon and there will be an incentive to drive users to do so.
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
https://app.cryptoblades.io/#/stake
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Perhaps we can move on to the next part of the AMA while Philip works to
reconnect.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
That’s a great feature of the projects, usually staking is the best option for long-term holders.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
You’re the boss😁
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Ok. Let’s proceed😊 @AndresM77
Q6 from Telegram User @Pavel_Jarosh
The idea of Combat is that a player can select the combatant (among 4 enemy combatants) that they want their character to face off against. The selection will be based on different criteria however it is not described which characters are stronger or weaker than the other ones. Should the selection be done randomly not knowing which character has more chances for a win? How does the engine reacts when 2 identical characters with identical weapons meet each other? Does the gameplay suppose to use strategy and tactics to win? Thank you!
Nick | CryptoBlades:
We also have just completed the lands sale for the follow-up to CryptoBlades, CryptoBlades: Kingdoms. There is a staking mechanism for the NFT lands themselves that is also in the works. We are hoping to release it soon and start rewarding those who believe in CryptoBlades: Kingdoms so early on.
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Thanks, we will be waiting for news about that!
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I would like to say that these have all been fantastic questions so far and want to thank everyone for being here and being a part of it. I’m truly looking forward to reading and answering the community questions now!
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Likewise!
Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:
Anything else to add about this question before proceeding with the second part?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
This is explained on the combat page and also through the Likelihood of victory. We also have tutorials on our YouTube for combat!
Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community
Q1 from Telegram user @MKS4750
The 2022 year will be extraordinary for METAVERSE projects. Are You going to create CryptoBlades Metaverse? How do You imagine it?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
Metaverse is something that is VERY hot right now. From very early on we have been focused on providing utility to NFTs within our project and others. I don’t want to say too much here, but we have some big plans for interoperability and a metaverse spin for CryptoBlades.
Q2 from Telegram user @Einsteinyl
I see that CryptoBlades Kingdoms also have NFT Land, can you explain what is Land use for? And where we possible to get NFT Land?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
You can buy land at app.cryptoblades.io/#market under SKILL SHOP and you can purchase them with SKILL or KING. The lands drive our Metaverse where CryptoBlades Kingdoms is played as well as hosting and adding a new way to experience your existing NFTs in 3D within a AAA gaming experience.
We are already the first movers in the Metaverse space and have more utility to add in the near future!
Q3 from Telegram user @Nhairym
How the CryptoBlaste Kingdom differs from Clash of Clans, what is the character with which it can overcome it, what have been the difficulties to be able to create immersive games with AAA quality in the space of cryptocurrencies, why the need to create 2 tokens, how are $ SKILL and $ KING different, plan to add new tokens, CryptoBlades is one of the largest crypto communities in the world, what are your expectations about the decentralized system and crypto culture in the long term?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
The KING token has reflection to PERMANENTLY power rewards on its own, already generating 1.5MM in rewards which we are happy to announce will be distributed for staking land NFTs!
Q4 from Telegram user @Kaitlyn_meher
Can you explain to us more why should we invest in your project and have you done any partnership and raised funds from strategic investors?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
We are the #1 most well funded and experienced game in the crypto space, having already raised over $15MM to create the best Metaverse experience the crypto world has ever seen.
Q5 from Telegram user @Shershah412
There are many New Crypto Users who do not aware of Connecting and Integrating the METAMASK WALLET, Is there any Tutorial available which guides them about it?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
This is a big issue in the space, no doubt about it. There are those who have put in the time and effort, like yourselves, to become knowledgeable and understand the crypto space. Others feel overwhelmed, are hesitant to join, and are often presented with some barriers to entry. We are actively working to make it easier to understand how to play our game and get started. We have a “Getting Started” page https://cryptoblades.gitbook.io/wiki/getting-started, have a YouTube series for tutorials https://www.youtube.com/c/CryptoBlades, and have made obtaining SKILL and BNB as easy as possible on the site.
Q6 from Telegram user @isabella_blackk
What do you think is the reason for the success of CryptoBlades so far? Are communities important for CryptoBlades, do you consider community feedback in your project?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
We have the most active development team in any game community. When buying into any p2e ask yourself: why is the team not public? Why are they not in the chat communicating daily with everyday players and investors?
The answer is they are not taking any risk or putting skin in the game so they can make a quick exit. Meanwhile, our team is fully transparent, doing stream sessions multiple times per week with the community, answering questions, and supporting the project and investors we love.
Q7 from Telegram user @Sins666999
What is your target token value on King or Skill even just your rough estimate will do?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
SKILL $1000
KING $2
Our fundraising has just finished and the funds are being deployed as we speak for marketing and development.
Q8 from Telegram user @Silica432
Every Project possesses Some Unique feature That makes it above the other platforms, Can you tell me Some specialty of the Cryptoblades?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
We are the only Metaverse project with play to earn as well as true NFT interoperability with any NFT that wants to be integrated.
Q9 from Telegram user @dondetect
I checked your website and see that CryptoBlades is really nicely designed and built project and my question is what is your most recent project right now?
Nick | CryptoBlades:
I appreciate you saying that. We are very happy with how our site is designed and our project. However, we CANNOT wait until the new design is complete. If the current site is a 7/10, then the update is an 11/10. It looks amazing. Here is just a taste: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bqp7RZjE9pm-gIo_yCMin6NLzG0E58xw/view?usp=sharing
To answer your question, however, CryptoBlades: Kingdoms is the big project we are developing right now. CryptoBlades itself is still getting lots of love and we have some really cool things coming up, but yeah CBK is going to be epic.
Q10 from Telegram user @Gutike95
You point out that “Level up your kingdom to increase the resources and production of KING”, but how can I really level up? Will it be through fulfilling certain daily missions? or will they have many more ways to do it?
Philip [Will Not DM First]:
Multiple ways, through raids, dungeons, PvP, guild and guild battles, exploration, and upgrading.
Part 3 – Quiz Results
In the final part, we tested your knowledge in terms of CryptoBlades. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part. The total reward pool for the quiz was 300$.
