As promised in the roadmap, we have released the beta version of the ITO's breeding feature on 28th Feb. We expect to launch on the mainnet in about 1 to 2 weeks depending on the results of the tests. While designing the game, we think a great deal about how we could provide more benefits to our holders and players. Therefore, we decided to add more utilities to both ITO and ITO2. Read on to learn about those benefits as well as the breeding fee structure and the logic behind them.
Utilities
The following chart shows the utilities of both genesis ITO and ITO2:
As stated in the whitepaper, genesis ITO holders have access to beta testing, receive MCOS tokens, and can purchase properties at a discounted price. Additionally, ITO holders are guaranteed a whitelist slot for land sales and can stake their ITOs for passive income (this is not automatically done, you still need to register for the whitelist). Just like ITOs, ITO2s are playable game characters that can offer whitelisting, staking, and MCOS tokens to their owners. Although both ITO and ITO2 holders share similar benefits, their magnitudes differ as follows:
MCOS token airdrop and staking mechanisms are designed so that ITO holders will receive more tokens than ITO2 holders.
First on the whitelist for land sales are wallets with ITOs. After all slots for ITOs have been filled, wallets with the most ITO2s will be considered. Public sales for non-ITO holders will then follow.
Level skipping. ITOs can skip levels when they start the game based on how many times they breed. Therefore, they can earn sooner than those who breed less or never.
Breeding fee
To guarantee the most fulfilling experience for our players, we have always committed to giving our full energy and investment to our project. For this upcoming breeding feature launch, our design team is spending days and nights brainstorming and executing the new concept for ITO2s. Especially, the making of the legendary ITO2s requires tremendous effort since we need to make sure that they look as cool as possible while maintaining the characteristics of their parents. Furthermore, certain investments are necessary for front-end and back-end development, marketing, and content creation.
Additionally, we want our fee structure to reflect the value of our project, and we don't want it to be too low or else our project will be devalued. Therefore, after careful research and consideration, we have finally decided on the breeding fee structure which is listed in the table below. Please note that the cost is per ITO per breed time and is sorted by background. The fee will continue to rise with breeding frequency in an effort to regulate inflation.
So how exactly does it work? Consider this example: the first breed fee for a blue-coral couple is 20 ADA but the fifth one for the same couple is 34.6 ADA. In the meantime, it will cost 27.5 ADA for a purple-yellow couple for the first breed and 68.4 for the seventh breed.
To wrap up, breeding offers tremendous advantages to holders such as in-game characters, passive income, and the opportunity to be whitelisted for the upcoming land sales. Hopefully, everything is now crystal clear to you. If you still have questions, please contact one of our moderators in our discord channel.
Last but not least, we are thankful for our holders who put their trust in us despite the fact there are plenty of projects out there. Our sincere thanks go out to all of you, especially to those who have been with us since the beginning. Although we don’t want to overpromise you anything, please know that we will do our best to deliver what we have planned.
Have fun and see you next time!
