AMA Recap: CRYPTO MINERS X DRAGON MAINLAND

Dragon Mainland is an encrypted collection game with PvP (Player versus Player) and PvE (Player versus Environment) combat, advanced breeding, free exchange, and collection development. Inspired by “How to Train Your Dragon”, players can continuously strengthen and trade their dragons in the game. The dragons can freely fight or breed, and at the same time, players can earn tokens during the game in Dragon Mainland.

We hosted an AMA session with Dragon Mainland on 23rd October at 12 PM UTC.

Mr. Ramsy from Crypto Miners hosted this ama and Mr. Jason Dekker, CEO of Dragon Mainland was our guest. He shared delightful knowledge and unique features of Dragon Mainland.

Segment 1️⃣: Introduction

.

Ramsy:
Hello everyone 👋 and welcome to the Crypto Miners AMA session with Dragon Mainland

Thank you all for joining us today!❣

To help us learn more about the featured project of this AMA session, we are lucky to be joined by Mr. Jason, Welcome to our community 🤝

Jason Dekker:
Hey! Thanks for having me!

Glad to be here!

Ramsy:
Thanks for bringing Us Dragon Mainland ❤️

I’m pretty sure that our AMA participants are very much excited to learn more about Dragon Mainland, so let’s get started if you’re ready!

Jason Dekker:
Ready!

Ramsy:
Alright, Here's the our first question

Q1)Can you briefly describe what is Dragon Mainland? We would like to know more about it and how it works.

Jason Dekker:
Dragon Mainland is a brand new “play to earn” game that’s a fully immersive 3D encrypted NFT collectibles game.

The idea of Dragon Mainland came from How to Train your Dragon. Dragons have long captivated both Eastern and Western cultures. Most recently with movies and TV shows like Avatar, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and many others.

We feel like the idea of breeding, raising and fighting Dragons 🐉 will captivate gamers and is something exciting.

We aim to create a fully decentralized community or a DAO . The community will be able to validate all transactions and activities inside the game which provides a level playing field for everyone.

It’s the intersection of gaming + DeFi + NFTs in a Dragon Ecosystem.

In terms of how the game works there is PvE and PvP described more below:

PVE:
Battle unit: 1 to 3 dragons on our side, and up to 3 dragons from the enemy. Each can attack multiple times at a time.

Attack rules: If there are no special card effects, priority will be given to attacking the dragon closest in front of the enemy.

If the enemy's foremost unit is side by side with another the restraint unit will be attacked first among the two. If there is no restraint, priority will be given to attacking the parallel units below the enemy.

Preparation: In this stage, players play the five skill cards in their hands according to their own energy points. Some skill cards require energy consumption, while others do not.

The skill cards played correspond to the dragons one by one. At this stage, only the player manually enters the next step before entering the round battle phase.

PVP:
The battle among the players focuses on the player's choice of placement and strategy for each round.

Players: Both sides can only supply 3 dragons.

Preparation: In this stage, players play the six skill cards in their hands according to their own energy points, some of which require energy consumption and some do not.

The skill cards played correspond to the dragons one by one. There is a countdown at this stage, and it will automatically enter the round battle stage when the countdown ends.

The round battle phase is the same as the PVE round battle phase.

Ramsy:
Thanks for the well detailed answer

Is the 3d encryption available only in pc? And can we use the game in Mobile phones??

Jason Dekker:
We are starting with mobile IOS and Android to start and PC and Mac will be ready in a few months.

Ramsy:
Oke, Now moving to our second one of this segment

Q2)What games are the Dragon Mainland team developing? How do I join your game?

Jason Dekker:
We have a game studio but as far as Blockchain games we are focusing solely on building Dragon Mainland.

It’s taken us almost a year to develop the game and we plan to make sure this is a big success before moving on to developing any other games.

Our team is betting big on Dragon Mainland and that’s our sole focus!

Ramsy:
Q3)What is the Dragon Mainland team's $DMS token sale plan? where can i buy it?

Jason Dekker:
DMS which is our ecosystem and governance token is not yet trading in the open market. We have completed our Private Sale and we plan on having our Public Sale via an IDO in late October or early November.

Ramsy:
Q4)What role does the $DMS token play in your ecosystem? What are the benefits of long-term holding?

Jason Dekker:
DMS can be used in below for:

1. Marketplace Payments:
Our marketplace will be opened simultaneously after Dragon Mainland is online, and users can purchase dragons dragon skulls and Dragon Miracle Potion (DMP) and more.

2. Game consumption:
A certain amount of DMS is required for the breeding and cultivation of dragons in the game (skill upgrade / bone absorption / bone fusion).

3. Governance:
Holders of DMS will be allowed participate in the platform governance and voting by staking the tokens.

4. Staking:
Users will be able to staking DMS to get weekly rewards.

5. Liquidity Mining:
Users can provide DMS liquidity to the revenue aggregator to obtain DMS token rewards.

6. Marketplace Dividends:
The platform will repurchase the market's DMS by the proceeds earned by the Marketplace.

The advantage of holding DMS is that if you stake your tokens and participate in our DeFi opportunities you will earn more DMS!

Next, 50% of the marketplace revenue will be used to buyback DMS and permanently freeze it. This means that there will be buy pressure from gameplay on a daily basis and the overall available token supply will continue to decrease on a daily basis.

The more people play the game the more DMS tokens that will come off the market. This in itself should drive investors to stake the token and hold it AGAIN decreasing the available supply on the market.

We strongly believe in deflationary token ecosystems to create long term value for our holders and we believe in rewarding our token holders that stake their tokens to earn bigger returns.

Ramsy:
Wow, lot of good usecases👌👌, Here’s the last question of this segment

Q5)Can you please tell us the current Dragon Mainland road map ? How far has Dragon Mainland been developed at this time? and what will you realize in the future?

Jason Dekker:
The 2021-2022 Roadmap is:

Genesis Dragon Egg Rush(4th and 5th round) This week.

Launch IDO late October or early November

DEX Listing
early November, 2021

Launch Marketplace, Breeding System, Liquidity Mining
November, 2021

Launching blind box and training system
November 2021

Launch Combat System PvP
December, 2021

There will be both PvE and PvP combat battles in the game. They will be launching in late November and early December.

Launch Land and building system February, 2022

Version 2.0 of DragonMainland 2nd or 3rd Quarter of 2022

Much more to follow but that’s the immediate roadmap and we are on schedule!

In terms of what’s been achieved so far:

We feel like we’ve achieved a lot in the last year in building the project. Here’s what we’ve done:

1. Fully built a super fun highly engaging game. DM is fully immersive 3D with rich game play. The full game launches officially in early December.

2. An incredible in game economy! Players need to be able to earn good returns while they play. We aim to be one of the top payout GameFi platforms. In addition, we think our deflationary token model + DeFi with our staking and revenue aggregator and liquidity mining help a lot.

3. A proper successful model for marketing and user adoption. We have a very powerful proprietary user acquisition strategy already in place and we are working on major partnerships and working with KOLs globally!

4. TIMING! We started developing about 10 months ago and we are ready launch 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
A lot of competitors are 6+ months behind us. We are catching the wave just perfectly!

5. We’ve built a vibrant community of 78K+ on Telegram and 73k on Twitter.

6. We’ve successfully completed Rounds 1, 2, and 3 of our Genesis Dragon Egg Rush.

We are super proud of our efforts and very excited to see all of our hard work pay off for both us and the community.

Ramsy:
Thanks for that well detailed introduction about Dragon Mainland🤝
That wraps up the first part of the AMA session✅

Let’s now proceed to the Twitter Questions section,

Jason, shall we go..

Jason Dekker:
Let’s go!

Ramsy:
Here’s our first question from twitter

Q1)You have 5 types of dragon which are “Fire dragon, Water dragon, Rock dragon, Storm dragon and Thunder dragon. What are the basic attributes of each dragon and what features do they have? How will users obtain each dragon and how will they improve their computing power?

Jason Dekker:

Dragons can be obtained from our Dragon Egg Rush happening now or they can be purchased in our marketplace. Or, two dragons can be bred to create new dragon babies.

Ramsy:
Q2) I believe that creating deflationary token ecosystems is the best way to create long-term value for the token and the ecosystem. What are the characteristics of Dragon Mainland that will allow it to be a strong platform in the medium and long term?

Jason Dekker:
We feel our experience of being in the Blockchain/Crypto space over the last several years has shown us that inflation is not good for token prices or NFT values.

As such, we have an extremely strong permanent token lock up model where 50% of the Marketplace transaction fees will be used to buy back and freeze DMS. This will dramatically decease the total supply of tokens in existence and that should be great for creating long term token and ecosystem value.
In addition, we have Blind Boxes and purchases of those will burn tokens.

And, lastly we have the Dragon meritocracy which will keep the number of Dragons 🐉 in check!
Deflation for token and NFT values is a must to protect and to help gamers earn money.

Ramsy:
Q3)Is the DragonMainland project a global or a local one? Which market are you currently focusing on, or are you building and expanding to gain customers, users, and partners?

Jason Dekker:
Our project is Global with a local focus. To really expand our market we are partnering and focusing on our regional communities. Without a strong communities nothing good can happen.

We plan to focus heavily on Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East where the play to earn gaming markets are strong. We hope to partner with the likes of YGG and other similar Guilds or groups that will help accelerate user growth.

There will be a huge focus on working with different community leaders to build telegram groups and the like in different languages so there support and a communal network. We are already working with KOLs and groups to make sure we provide all the resources necessary to support the communities in every region.

We are also focusing on a lot of non-English speaking regions. We are also working with our developers to potentially allow users to choose their language when they sign up and sign in.

The global community is going to be what makes Dragon Mainland successful and we plan to support them as much as possible!

Q4) I saw that Dragon Mainland has two tokens namely Dragon Mainland Shards (DMS) and Dragon Miracle Potion (DMP). Can you tell us, why these two tokens are needed and the difference in utility they provide? Which of them is the most important in the Dragon Mainland’s ecosystem?

Jason Dekker:
Dragon Mainland Shards (DMS) is the ecosystem and governance token of the Dragon Mainland, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 and will never be increased.

It can be used for: marketplace payments (buying dragons or dragon bones in the marketplace), governance (platform ecosystem governance), staking, liquidity mining, Dragon Raising(dragon breeding, dragon skull absorption, devouring other dragons) and Marketplace dividends.

Dragon Miracle Potion (DMP) is the utility token issued by Dragon Mainland and used for breeding and some in game purchases. It doesn’t have a fixed total supply. It can only be obtained through completing daily quests, dungeons, and combat. It will be consumed during dragon breeding, dragon bone absorption, and devouring other dragons.

It will be consumed during dragon breeding, dragon bone absorption, and devouring other dragons.

DMS will issue 1 Billion DMS tokens but the total supply will never reach anywhere close to that because of the token burns and permanent token freezes. This is one of our strongest advantages is we really focus on creating long term ecosystem value for players and token holders.
In addition, the DeFi aspects of staking, LPs and the revenue aggregator will provide even more long term ecosystem value and incentives.

Ramsy:
Alright, Now moving to our last question of the Twitter segment

Q5)Knowing that Leviathan Knight Guild games are a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to invest in NFTs and that you have recently partnered with them, what are the fundamental characteristics of such a long-term partnership and what is the mission of this partnership?

Jason Dekker:
Game guilds like LKR will provide rocket fuel to Dragon Mainland by providing scholarships or partnerships for players that may not be able to afford the price of admission. When looking into Axie Infinity‘s success, the game guild have professional player groups, strategy squad and more completive game atmosphere.

At the same time, they are able to gain insight into the growth of the game from the perspective of the players, which is different from the our developers team. I think this is a win-win cooperation and promotes the long-term sustainability and prosperity of our game. By the way, they also have tons of benefits and events along the way for the Dragon community.

Ramsy:
Impressive 👍👍

Thanks Your Valuable Answers,❣
And that's enough for our twitter question segment

Now Moving on to our last segment - Live Q&A.

Jason Dekker:
Thanks

Ramsy:
I hope you're ready for Live Section!

Jason Dekker:
Ready

Live QnA:

(In this segment group was opened for 60 seconds and miners sent hundreds of questions. Mr. Jason choose the best to answer)

1) Your Project Only For Elite Investors, How About Others With Small Funds, 2 It Open To Everion?

Jason Dekker:

Our GameFi platform is for all crypto skill levels. It’s more of a game and you won’t really even know you’re using crypto.

We are definitely targeting the mass market and as such we need to make it as easy and user friendly as possible to do so.

There’s no way to gain massive user adoption if it’s only for super experienced crypto veterans.

Outside of the game itself there will be tons of tutorials, support groups, YouTube videos in many different languages to help make it as easy as possible to learn every aspect of the game.

2) Can you explain how is your Tokenomics Distribution? How many tokens Will be minted ? And How many tokens will be locked by the team?

Jason Dekker:

The total supply of DMS is 1,000,000,000 and no additional DMS will be issued. The full release will take place over 5 years or 60 months.

Token Allocation：
Mining Rewards 45%，
Foundation Reserve 15%，
Team 21%，
Advisor 4%，
Token Sale 15%

Team, Advisor, and mining reward tokens are locked and released monthly in equal increments over the 60 months. There is a fixed max supply or DMS but we have several mechanisms to make sure our DMS supply is deflationary to protect the value of it over the long term.

The advantage of holding DMS is that if you stake your tokens and participate in our DeFi opportunities you will earn more DMS!

Next, 50% of the marketplace revenue will be used to buyback DMS and permanently freeze it. This means that there will be buy pressure from gameplay on a daily basis and the overall available token supply will continue to decrease on a daily basis.

The more people play the game the more DMS tokens that will come off the market. This in itself should drive investors to stake the token and hold it AGAIN decreasing the available supply on the market.

We strongly believe in deflationary token ecosystems to create long term value for our holders and we believe in rewarding our token holders that stake their tokens to earn bigger returns.

We feel it’s a very strong model and one that aligns the incentives of the players, investors, and the ecosystem.

3) AUDIT play an IMPORTANT role in enhancing the stability of any PROJECT. Do you have AUDIT CERTIFICATES . Or are you working to AUDIT your project to make it more secure and reliable?

Jason Dekker:

We fully expect all the hackers and scammers and fraudsters to come. They are already here and already trying to disrupt our ecosystem. At this point happening so early we’ll take it as a compliment 😉

Platform security is of the utmost importance and it’s a huge focus for us!

Hacking is always a concern and we take cyber security very seriously. To protect the project we are tons of penetration testing, audit all the smart contracts, hiring hacking groups to try to break in, and using FileCoin and IPFS a to protect the NFTs.

All smart contracts are in the process of being audited by CertiK, a very well known smart contract auditing firm. We will publish the audit certificates publicly when the audits are complete.

To protect the NFT’s using FileCoin and IPFS provides a massive advantage because of the way they use content addressing. This ensures that if a breach did happen all the NFTs should be protected. This creates a truly decentralized solution to manage this problem.

This is an ongoing issue that will never go away and we will stay vigilant to protect our platform and our community!

4) For this DRAGON MAINLAND project Can you give me 2-3 advantages of this project, to convince me and other investors to invest long and long term in this project?

Jason Dekker:

We feel like our competitive advantages are:

• Our team’s experience with our primary presence in Dubai and South East Asia and China. We have significant KOLs and access developers and gamers in these regions. This will allow us to attract users quickly and easily.
• Our fully immersive 3D rich gameplay experience. A lot of the early blockchain games are very slow and clunky. They’re just not engaging. Ours has a ton of strategy and many different variables so players won’t get bored easily.
• Our tokenomics structure where we address the inflation issues plagued by many ICOs in 2017-18. Axie Infinity also has this problem with the ever increasing amount of Axies. DMS has a very strong Token Burn model which will cause massive token deflation which should be great for those that hold and stake the tokens. Also, weak Dragons can be swallowed and eaten thus “survival of the fittest” where it’s more of a meritocracy. This will also keep the number of Dragons in check.
• Timing, we have been building the game for a year and it’s ready for soft launch in October and full launch December 1. We are very early but there is a lot of competition coming in the next year or two. Launching early with significant experience and resources should be very helpful.
• Our community is strong as well with 80k+ on Twitter and 80k+ on Telegram. We also have some strong partnerships in the works coming soon.

5) How important is the community to Your project? and How can we collaborate or help share token for the development of the project?

Jason Dekker:

Community is everything! Without a strong community nothing good can happen.We plan to focus heavily on Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East where the play to earn gaming markets are strong.

We hope to partner with the likes of YGG and other similar gaming guilds or groups that will help accelerate user growth. There will be a huge focus on working with different community leaders to build telegram groups and the like in different languages so there support and a communal network.

We are already working with KOLs and local country groups to make sure we provide all the resources necessary to support the communities in every region.

How you can help is to start playing the game early, get involved and spread the word. The early players will be able to buy the NFTs, in game assets, at low prices, and start staking the tokens they earn to gain the highest potential rewards. As they then help spread the news about the game their potential for profit increases.

The whole token ecosystem is designed to mutually reward all the stakeholders over the long term. We look forward to working closely with your community!
