Minimum Viable Product

https://steemknights.com/
https://steempeak.com/introduceyourself/@steemknights/steemknights-introduction

SteemKnights (@steemknights) is the first multiplayer 3D game on the steem blockchain. Each game takes place on a chess like battlefield with several knights on it. The players have to set a stationary king. The battles play out with the rock, paper, scissors principle only with sword, bow and wand. Additionally you have one trap on your field wich kills every knight that is walking into it instantly. The goal of the game is to reach the enemy king and slay him with one of his own knights.

Business Strategy

Fiat Revenue Strategy:
For every game the player bets a fixed amount of steem and we take a fee for matchmaking (10%). 20% percent of this fee will be distributed in the daily payout to the players.

Fiat Revenue Projections in $/user every month:
$2

How will this increase the amount of STEEM being powered up?
Every move in the game is a separated transaction in the blockchain. This results in many transactions the user has to make resulting in an increasing amount of steempower.

What financial incentives are you willing to provide to Steemit, Inc.?
50% curation rewards earned from the delegation during the delegation period to be burned.

How will you become financially sustainable once the delegation is removed?
The delegation should help us building a larger user base. This will sustain our revenue flow on it's own.

KPI Progress Measurement

KPI1 description: Count of active Users
KPI1 target: 100

KPI2 description: Count of Games
KPI2 target: 200

KPI3 description: Count of Transactions
KPI3 target: 10000

Token Offering

No token offered.

Delegation Request

How much of a delegation are you requesting?
Test-Tier

Specify the desired time frame for the delegation in 6 month increments:
1 year

Which one of the following answers best describes how the delegation will be used to add direct value to Steem:
The following 3:
A. It will be used to create new accountsgoods and/or services through our platform
C. It will be used to incentivize the creation of content that promotes Steem on external platforms
D. It will be used to provide limited trial or discount services to clients to encourage them to hold Steem and delegate in the future

We agree that our business will continue to leverage the Steem blockchain as long as we are receiving a delegation and 1 year following the removal of the delegation. During this time we also agree to promote the Steem blockchain as a valuable technological protocol that delivers unique value. We are willing to sign a legally binding contract with Steemit, Inc. to this effect.
