$ASTRA Staking Reward Tiers, T1 Familiar Showcase, and Animated NFTs!

$ASTRA Staking Reward Tiers.gif

$ASTRA Snapshot Reward

For those that missed our Discord announcement, we took a snapshot of staked $ASTRA just prior to our previous economy post. This snapshot determined who would be eligible to receive the first Early Supporter reward we snuck out during the presale:

An Eternal NFT Consumable currently named the "Astral Infuser"

The Astral Infuser is an Eternal Healing Consumable that can heal a single familiar to full health twice per adventure, but it cannot be upgraded like standard Eternal Consumables. The artwork is still pending, but the NFT will appear in your Astral Revelations inventory when our NFT Marketplace is up and running.

Who Is Eligible?

Rather than limit this reward to just staked $ASTRA—because some of you goofballs still haven't staked your $ASTRA 😅—anyone that had at least 100 $ASTRA at the time of the snapshot, liquid or staked, is entitled to receive one Astral Infuser.

Staking Reward Tiers

Going forward, $ASTRA staking rewards are as follows:

Staked $ASTRAReward
5k1% Presale Discont per 5k $ASTRA (max 50%)
10kT1 NFT Familiar (of your choice)
25kT1 NFT Eternal Consumable
50kT1 Supporter - Discord Role
75kCollectible NFT Eternal Consumable
100kT2 Supporter - Discord Role
125kWisp Bundle
150kT3 Supporter - Discord Role
175kCollectible T1 NFT Familiar
200kT4 Supporter - Discord Role
225kKeystone Bundle
250kT5 Supporter - Discord Role — (Max Presale Discount of 50%)
275kCollectible T1 NFT Keystone
300kT6 Supporter - Discord Role
325kAttunement Bundle
350kT7 Supporter - Discord Role
375kCollectible T1 NFT Attunement
400kT8 Supporter - Discord Role
450kT9 Supporter - Discord Role
500kDesign an NPC
1000kDesign (and receive) a Collectible Familiar

These rewards will be manually distributed or assigned (in the case of Discord roles) each week using the same staked $ASTRA amounts collected by the $STELLARUM airdrop snapshot. This is to limit the number of ways this system might be abused while also making it easier to know when you'll receive your rewards.

If you've received your $STELLARUM for the weekly airdrop, then your staked $ASTRA has been recorded for tracking staking rewards.


Collectible NFTs

As the name implies, we're creating alternate art NFTs for each type of NFT. These will build on the existing artwork, be limited in quantity, and periodically "rotate out" to make room for new collectibles.

Example: The first 50 players to stake 175k $ASTRA will receive the first collectible T1 Familiar.

As the player base grows, this would switch to limited windows of availability such as all players that stake 175k $ASTRA during the month of June receive the Nth collectible. A new collectible would then rotate in for the month of July.

These collectibles will be strictly cosmetic with no in-game power difference or advantage.

The plan is to steadily roll out new looks for our NFTs that let players personalize their gameplay experience. These collectibles won't initially alter in-game appearance—the core familiar sprites need to be animated first—but we plan on bringing collectible artwork into the game down the road.


Short-Term Plans

The current reward structure is heavily slanted towards presale supporters given that's where we're currently at in the development process:

  • For every 5k $ASTRA you stake, you'll receive a 1% Presale Discount (max 50%).
  • At certain staked amounts (125k/225k/325k), you'll receive free presale bundles.

When Astral Revelations launches, these will change to rewards better suited to a live game environment (when players can no longer purchase presale bundles).

Similarly, the T2-T9 Support levels—T1 will always remain at 50k—will eventually shift to larger staking amounts over time as the game's economy grows. For example: Each tier is currently spaced 50k $ASTRA apart. Once drifting begins, this will increase to 51k, 52k, 53k, etc. as the overall supply and player base increases over time.

Each change will be announced ahead of time.


Long-Term Plans

As we complete more NFT assets, new rewards will continue to be added across all staking tiers. The best example we can provide for this is in how we plan to transition through collectibles.

Initially, all collectibles will be T1 NFTs. After rotating through every T1, we'll begin releasing T2 collectibles in the same manner all the way up through T9. Ideally, the pacing for this will allow players to naturally progress to higher tiers of NFTs in-game before the collectible versions.

It's important to note that staking $ASTRA does not mean that you'll receive every new collectible NFT familiar from that point on. This tier represents the point at which you become eligible to receive your first collectible familiar. The same applies to collectible NFT consumables, keystones and attunements.

To continue receiving new collectibles, you'll need to stake increasing amounts of $ASTRA proportional to the type of NFT. When each new collectible is announced, we'll include the updated tier requirements for those receiving their second, third, fourth, etc. collectible for each type of NFT.

Wisp Bundle Presale

As mentioned in our previous post, the Wisp Bundle is the first NFT set being added to the ongoing presale.

5000 Wisp Bundles will be available for purchase starting February 17th.

Each Wisp Bundle will cost 10 $HIVE (or the equivalent $HBD) and contains:

  • 1x Fire Wisp
  • 1x Air Wisp
  • 1x Earth Wisp
  • 1x Water Wisp

If you love what you see as much as we do, show @japex1226 some love! He's done a tremendous job creating the artwork for Astral Revelations' familiars!


Familiar Sprites

If you've been following along with our development process in our Discord, you'll know that we've been actively expanding our art team with new artists to increases our workflow speed. The first artist we'd like to introduce to the Hive community is Endo (@seplevega)! He'll be translating our spiffy renders into in-game sprite animations.

Here are a couple examples of what those will look like:

Animated NFTs

The second artist we're excited to introduce is Mens59! Because we believe in making visually stunning NFTs, Mens will be animating every familiar render for our familiar NFTs.

Check out this smokin' Fire Goblin!

NFT_Fire_Goblin_PREVIEW.gif

(NOTE: The small preview size is due to Hive posting limitations)

The final NFT layout will showcase these animated familiars with customized UI overlays, symbols and icons to help players quickly identify each familiar's element, race, type (and variant, where applicable), etc. We'll be including an option to revert to the non-animated renders in-game for improved performance, if needed.

Mens is new to Hive and crypto in general, so visit our Discord to show him some love!

Opportunities

We are looking to translate and localize our game in multiple languages. While english will be the main language of the game, we are also looking to reach out to other regions as early as possible. We have need for Spanish and Chinese (中国人) translators to help us set up the foundations. If you feel you are the right person, please reach out to @spiritsurge through our Discord.

Our whole purpose of introducing the rewards tier is so that people can plan out which roles they want to target.

Impressive Artwork.

So if I understand correctly to get the staking benefits it is enough to have the amolunt of ASTRA staked at any snapshot. When the ASTRA staked is reduced later on this does not matter, or is it overwritten than?

Because I guess, that trhe rewards are not given out immidiately. Or when are they given to the players?

Correct...the rewards are going to be given out when the marketplace is up. As soon as the snapshot is done you are entitled to the rewards. If you unstake afterwards, you will lose your role in discord. Hope this clarifies your query.

Yes it does. Are the staking rewards only until the marketplace is opened, or will they stay longer? Do you have an ETA for the marketplace.

It may be, that I direct some additional funds into ASTRA, but this will not happen at once.

Each time a snapshot is taken the rewards for that account is set and locked. The marketplace will take little bit of more time due to the announcement in the discord as well as allowing more people to get into a good position considering the number of active gaming projects.

T1 Supporter - Discord Role

@astralrevelation looking forward to getting at least a t1 supporter role. at least 200$ needed? also had to pay back some loans xD
