Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
We are looking forward to the AMA 😄👍
SatoshiClubbers are used to that already 😂😉
Perry:
LOL sorry guys
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Yes they are.. and they are excited as well for this AMA
Perry:
Will make sure it’s worth your time.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
So, Perry: to start up with, can you please make us a short intro about SolChicks? Also, tell us a few words about yourself 🙂
Perry:
Sure!
My name is Perry. I am Head of Partnerships at SolChicks.
SolChicks launched 10 weeks ago and have grown from a team of 10 to 70 with various experiences in marketing, strategy, community building, etc.
We are all avid gaming and blockchain enthusiasts. Our ultimate goal is to create a game that is both fun, engaging, AND lucrative.
We are doing this by designing a game that incorporates traditional gaming features inspired by timeless classics like Diablo, League of Legends, and Dota and integrating complex play-to-earn mechanics!
SolChicks is a real-time combat play-to-earn fantasy game built on the Solana blockchain.
Raids, tournaments, PvP, PvE, quests, and more! 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
That’s an impressive growth within 10 weeks
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Willing to hire more people? 🧐
Maybe SatoshiClubbers are interested in that too
Perry:
Our playable game demo just launched on our website as well: https://www.solchicks.io/
Yeah! In 10 weeks, we have grown our community to 500k+ members and our team is STILL expanding over the next few weeks as we approach our launch.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
I am also a blockchain and gaming enthusiast, I think we are going to be great friends 😄
Perry:
YASSS
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
👏👏
Perry:
Blockchain is great – we’re honoring the philosophy of gaming which should be FUN and engaging but also incorporating play-to-earn mechanics to make the game lucrative for players.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Thank you for the great intro, Perry 🙂
Perry:
Yw 🙂
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
SolChicks is undoubtedly a huge project 👀👏
Perry:
Yes! We’re one of the first movers in this game-fi space on Solana. We’re
riding the wave to the moon.
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
This is super exciting..
Perry:

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for sharing
Ready to start with community questions?
We have many great questions. I’m sure you’ll like them all 🙂
Perry:
Yes! LET’S GO.

🚀🚀
Q1 from Telegram User @cheriemike
For players to play your game, they need to have a Solana wallet such as Fanthom or SorFlare with at least 1 SolChick NFT and connect to the game client and players will need to select their SolChick NFT as their avatar or pay 1 SOL to create a non-NFT version with no attribute and start a “saved states”.So is it really compulsory that users must have an SOL wallet to connect to the game client before they play the game? Is there no alternative? Will you use only the Solana platform and not integrate it into other blockchains in the future? What is the cost of having attributes in your game since 1 SOL of creating a non-NFT version of SolChick won’t grant players any attributes? And lastly, Can you tell us what you mean by “saved states”?Please explain Thanks
Perry:
So far now we’re only on the Solana network. We’re looking at supporting
multi-chain (currently designing weapons/equipment and other items on BSC and
seeing if this can be integrated into our game).
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Those are amazing news 👀
Perry:
So you can only play our game (for now) if you have an SOL wallet AND own a SolChick NFT/rent a SolChick.
You can breed 2 SolChicks to create a new NFT version of a SolChick (shares attributes that parents have similar to real-life breeding).
The cost of having attributes in the game has not been determined. We will have an in-game marketplace where you can trade items. The value of these items depends largely on what people are happy to buy/sell them for.
I’m unsure what you mean by ‘saved states’ without any context. You can email our support if you have any more questions: info@solchicks.io
Hope that answers all your questions. 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Yes, I’m sure it does.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Amazing!!
Which are SolChick NFTs usecases? Only for gaming?
Or can we stake and earn passive incomes with them?
Perry:
Great Q.
SolChick NFTs are used to enter into our game but can also be used to unlock passive income pathways!
You can use $CHICKS to breed 2 SolChicks and create a new NFT SolChick. This NFT SolChick can be RENTED out to other players, who can then play the game without an original NFT.
You can rent it out for a flat amount! 🙂 Higher rarity chicks may be slightly more expensive to rent because they offer players some slight buffs in-game.
Furthermore, we’re designing weapons + skins, and other items which can be equipped in-game to boost your stats. Holders of $CHICKS and our SolChick NFTs have a chance to be airdropped some of these items!
Those are the current use-cases for SolChick NFTs.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Thank you for the explanation 😉
Perry:
All good 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Very interesting use cases..
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Do you want to add something else? Or shall we proceed with the next question?
Perry:
Next question, please!
Q2 from Telegram User @chinyere2020
I found out that the supply of SolChicks will be limited to 10,000 and more will not be added in the future. The only way new SolChicks can be added is through the “Breeding” process. Users can breed SolChicks to produce a SolEgg which will hatch to a brand new SolChick NFT. Can you give more details about the Breeding process? What are the requirements that users and their SolChicks must meet to be able to breed and produce a SolEgg? How long does it take for a SolEgg to hatch? What determines the characteristics of a new SolChick NFT gotten from the breeding process?
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Let’s go!
Perry:
So as I said previously – you will need $CHICKS tokens to breed SolChicks to
create a new SolChick.
The requirement is that both parents must be at least level 45. 🙂
It takes 3 days for a SolEgg to hatch. You can read a more in depth guide about our breeding process via our website: solchicks.io
Similar to real-life breeding, the attributes that a SolChick equips is determined by its parents. SolChick is more likely to get traits from their parents.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Do I need to pay some fees for breeding?
Perry:
However, there are ‘recessive traits’ so SolChicks can sometimes end up with
attributes that their parents may not have.
Yes! The fee is $CHICKS tokens.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Please, share $CHICKS tokenomics, so that we can see how the economy will work.
Perry:
Sure! 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
But can a user decide on what individual traits to pick from both parents for their new SolChick NFT’s?
Perry:
This is the game economy:
No, they cannot. It’s randomized. 🙂
Full info on our tokenomics is on our website.
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Oh, I get It..
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Thank you, Perry, 🙂
Perry:
That’s the incentive for people to buy rarer chicks (offspring is more likely going to have rare traits).
Rare traits = more advantageous in-game but also can be rented out to players for a higher amount. 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
😎
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Btw, how about CHICKS tokens?
How can I buy or earn some?
Perry:
So when you win a game – you win $CHICKS and other valuable battle spoils like items (equipment, weapons, etc).
These can be traded in the in-game marketplace for $CHICKS.
That’s the main way to earn $CHICKS right now. 🙂
We have various game modes: co-op, raids, tournaments, PvP (1v1,3v3,5v5), brawl, quests, and more! There are so many ways to win.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
And are they tradeable? Where?
Gamers won’t get bored 😂🚀
Perry:
They are tradeable in the in-game marketplace for now. Possibly in secondary
markets too but this is still being revised.
Haha yeah! We wanted to launch a blockchain game that was not only fun for casual players, but lucrative for grinders who want to earn an income.
Our first priority is making sure the game is fun for players.
No point attracting players and then not being able to retain them because the game is a flop!
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Then you are following the correct path 😉
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
This is the number one essence of Games.. (Entertainment)
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
👏👏
Perry:
Yesss!
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
You are right! That’s the key 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Thank you for your answers, Perry!
Perry:
No worries 😄
Jonah 🏅🎹 |
Satoshi Club:
Here is the Next question
Q3 from Telegram User @Highpee
SolChicks will have a game mode which is known as SolChicks Gangs. According to this game option, players can gang up against their SolChicks with others to form a pact which will increase their probability of winning battles. Can you tell us more about how players can use their SolChicks to form alliances with other SolChicks and how this can help to create a more efficient battle system? How is Ganging different from SolChicks merging/breeding and how will the battle-winning reward be shared between the individual SolChicks that form the gang? Since you said ganging up together will result in a faster gain of experience, will the experience gained be in the form of group experience or will it be added individually to each SolChick that forms the gang?
Perry:
- This is just one of many co-op options. You will be matched with other players based on MMR (to make the game fair).
- Ganging is different from merging/breeding because you’re essentially battling but in a group.
Other information in your question has not been released in our game mechanics paper. We’re still in the phase of ensuring our game is balanced and fair – how this will translate into a division of rewards is currently being revised.
Full game mechanics:
https://www.solchicks.io/papers
Next question! 🙂
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
This might sound strange, but I have no extra questions for this one :p
Do you? @Jonahapagu 😉
Perry:
Haha, information on raids has not actually been released in our game mechanics paper.
So unsure where the information was being pulled from.
Maybe they heard it in another AMA. But for now – the details surrounding raids have not been released. 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
I don’t have any extra for this.
Thank you, Perry!
Here comes the next question
Q4 From Telegram user @Ajpaa
I read from your social media handle recently of the announcement of SolChicks IGO (Initial Game Offering) on Cafeswap Launchpad. This public sale of $CHICKS token on CafeSwap is said to be scheduled on 29th November. So can you provide us with details for the IGO on Cafeswap Launchpad? Will there be maximum and minimum buy? What measures have you put in place to avoid whales buying and dumping leading to short-term hype? What advantages does Cafeswap Launchpad provide the ecosystem that made you choose it over other Launchpads? Thank you.
Perry:
I can’t tell you the specifics as to why we chose CafeSwap – however –
generally with all our launchpads (over 30+), we choose them based on how they
value-add to our company.
For our launchpads, we’ve been able to host AMAs on their channels and do a lot of co-marketing.
To avoid pumping and dumping, our IDO was launched 1-2 days ago with linear vesting periods of 3 months minimum.
I think we had over 150k people register for a whitelist spot, and of those people – we only let some invest via a lottery system for a very small amount so funds are spread among lots of people.
We also have exciting plans ahead – like game launch and pushing marketing in various regional areas. Our team is expanding every day and you will see more growth after we’re listed on DEX’s.
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
It was random?
Perry:
All our launchpads can be seen here:
https://linktr.ee/SolChicksLaunchPads
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
👀👏
Perry:
We gathered more traction than we had expected so had to lower the amount people could invest and only offered whitelist spots via lottery system since we were oversubscribed.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
OMG! Many Launchpads 😳
Perry:
•SolChicks IGO Details :
Token: $CHICKS
Date and Time: 29th November, 1pm UTC
ICO Price: 0.05$
Listing Price: 0.05$
Total Funds to Raise: 100,000$
Individual Soft Cap : 200$
Individual Hard Cap : 400$
Token Listing Date: 6th December
Public Sale Vesting Schedule: 25% unlock at TGE, 3 Months Linear vesting (700
slots will be raffled from Gleam registration).
This is for CafeSwap^
Hope that answers your questions 🙂
CafeSwap’s medium article: https://cafeswap.medium.com/solchicks-public-sale-on-cafeswap-49e2817bf754
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Oh yes, your well-explained answers do answer the question.
One more day to go.. 🔥
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Wasn’t the same allocation for all Launchpads?
Perry:
Different launchpads have slightly different allocations.
Each launchpad ran by its own rules but generally speaking they had low caps and wide distribution across wallets
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 |
Satoshi Club:
Everything is clear for me now
Thank you 🙂
Next question?
Perry:
Yep!

Q5 from Telegram user @Lena_V10
These 5 categories of SOLCHICKS in your platform, which are namely Legendary, Mythical, Rare, Uncommon, and Common. Can you please explain to us that how will these categories perform in-game? Can a player purchase a Rare Solchick at the beginning, if he/she tends to spend more money in your game? Or every player should start the game with a common Solchick? If a player holds legendary Solchick, how will it benefit him/her in the PvP battle? And, how will it affect the player’s in-game stats? Lastly, besides making the changes in the chick’s appearances, will you add anything more beneficial aspects to them according to their category? Thank you!
Perry:
- to make the game fair, the rarity of your solchick will give you very slight buffs in-game. We’re introducing other items like weapons, equipment, and other items which can also boost your in-game stats.
- You can purchase a rare chick from secondary markets like solanart, magic Eden, etc.
All marketplaces here: https://linktr.ee/SolChicksMint
You start the game with whatever SolChick NFT you join with. 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Interesting
Perry:
How these rarities affect in-game stats is still being balanced out. Our
priority before introducing play-to-earn mechanics is to make the game FUN and
FAIR.
For rewards, having a rarer chick grants you more $CHICK rewards when winning matches.
Specific numbers will be based on your MMR and other variables. 🙂
Hope that makes sense.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
I see you care a lot about fairness 🙂
Lovely 😉
As I saw on your whitepaper, there are 4 types of rareness, right?
Perry:
Common, uncommon, rare, mythical, legendary.
So 5 rarities.
Jonah 🏅🎹 |
Satoshi Club:
Thank you for clarifying
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
Ops! I thought there were four 😂
Thanks for clarifying
Last question for part 1? 🙂
Perry:
Yes!
Jonah 🏅🎹 |
Satoshi Club:
🚀🚀🚀
Q6 from Telegram user @yellowchamp
According to your whitepaper that you will launch a Battle of a Solfox Challenge in the 1st quarter of 2022, but as your platform is named Solchicks so can you explain more about Solfox? What is the main contribution of Solfox to Solchicks? Can you elaborate in advance more about the Battle of a Solfox Challenge? What will be its mechanics and structure and how can anyone participate and be eligible in this challenge? What are the incentives and rewards behind this Battle of a Solfox Challenge? Thank you
Perry:
For now – we have not released any more information regarding what the battle
against the Solfox will be like.
- We just released our game demo on our website which you can play to get a gist of what the game will feel like though!
We only launched 10 weeks ago – so a lot of elements in our game are still being revised.
When you battle against the Solfox – you can win $CHICKS and other valuable items which can be traded in the in-game marketplace. It’s supposed to be super challenging – like a traditional ‘boss level.’
You can unlock certain parts of the game by leveling up – raids/quests/tournaments are unlocked as you reach higher and higher levels.
Hope that answers your questions! 🙂
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
Do these items have fixed prices in your in-game marketplace?
Perry:
They do not have fixed prices. Similar to CSGO – players can post these items
up into the marketplace for whatever price they want!
Their price will depend on what people are willing to buy and sell them for.
Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:
I like your idea 😉
Jonah 🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club:
👍
Thank you For your detailed and Clear answers
Perry:
No worries!! 🙂
Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community
Q1 from Telegram user @JaviSuBs
@eskyperryI want to get the Baby of an adorable SolChicks, what level must my NFTs have and what kind of rarity are compatible to get a Baby from an adorable SolChicks?
Perry:
Both adult SolChicks used to breed need to be at least level 45. ^_^
Q2 from Telegram user @rubel1224
Is your NFT available for buy now? What are the NFT marketplaces we can trade? On what blockchain will you launch it?
Perry:
SolChick NFTs are available to purchase via any of these marketplaces: https://linktr.ee/SolChicksMint
Q3 from Telegram user @highpee
When SolChicks participate in PvP mode, they will only earn SolCoin reward when they reach FLEDGING LEVEL 15. Does it mean that a player will have no reward for gameplay below this level? And since you have a game level up to level 60, does the SolCoin reward increase proportionately with increasing level?
Perry:
Levels 0-15 are to teach players the basic mechanics to play our game. You will not be able to earn any rewards below level 15 (for now – as per our game mechanics paper).
$CHICKS rewards will increase based on your level and difficulty of quests/tasks in-game.
Level 0-15 should not take more than a few days.
Q4 from Telegram user @sophiejohnson1
What has SolChicks accomplished? What is your focus in the short term? What are your most important competitive advantages to survive for the future and keep you ahead of your competitors?
Perry:
We launched 10 weeks ago and have grown (almost) exponentially!
- 70+ person team.
- Partnerships with some of the biggest companies in the blockchain – including ChainLink, and Brave Browser.
- Hired some of the best independent game developers who brought you timeless classics like Maple Story, PubG, and Dungeon Fighter.
- Released a playable game demo (on the website).
- Grown the community to over 500k+ members!
We’re also honoring the tradition of games – they are supposed to be FUN and ENGAGING. We have focused on building our game to honor this before incorporating other elements like play-to-earn mechanics.
Sometimes when I look at other games on blockchain – I’m like: “would people really be playing this if you removed the play-to-earn aspect?”
The answer is usually no. We want our game to be sustainable – and in doing this – have focused on designing a well-put-together game.
Q5 from Telegram user @adaatalay
How will SolChicks differentiate itself from similar competitors? And how will it become the platform of choice? What are your competitive advantages?
Perry:
We are differentiating ourselves on the quality of what we are doing. You can see this through:
Quality of our doxxed team: the team is driven, has real business experience, has run multiple successful projects, and has no issues revealing themselves to put their names to back the project. We now have >70 people working on the project.
Quality of our work: we believe our game trailer, game demo whitepaper, and website speak for themselves. We are producing a game that is not only fun for grinders (who want to take advantage of the play-to-earn aspect) but also casual players.
We have partnered with Elite game developers who brought you timeless classics including Maple Story, Pubg, Dungeon Fighter, Heroes of New Earth, and Terra.
Q6 from Telegram user @Wong2008
Do you think the Solana network is a good choice for a gaming project?
What are the motivations that make you choose Solana to build solchiks?
Perry:
We are firm believers that Solana will become the leading blockchain given Ethereum issues regarding scaling capability and network congestion. Solana has shown to be a very reliable blockchain with higher TPS and better scalability. It’s a great foundation to build big, sustainable games.
Minimal minting fees are a big upside!!
Q7 from Telegram user @Alonhusk008
Many games based on Blockchain and Play to Earn, have been closed, abandoned, or broken, causing users to lose their money. What is your strategy to ensure long-term sustainability and fair rewards to Solchicks?
Perry:
$CHICKS token will have an audit available on the website prior to being listed on a number of decentralized exchanges (DEX) on December 6.
We want to instill trust in the project. We have done this by doing our team (all our LinkedIn on the website) and implementing fair and accessibly play-to-earn rewards in our game.
Our floor price in a number of secondary markets is over 14SOL with lots of trading volume going in and out. I think we’ve managed to secure the trust of the community. We won’t let you down. 🙂
Q8 from Telegram user @SUPERSONICCX
Is the SOLCHICK platform understandable for a novice user like me? And does the SOLCHICK project have video tutorials and guides? If so where can I see it?
Perry:
Our marketing is pushed towards people in the traditional gaming space so we’re trying to make the information as accessible as possible.
Right now we do not have any guides because our platform hasn’t launched. However – for guides for how to mint/buy and tokenomics, please visit our medium via: https://linktr.ee/SolChicksNFT
Or contact our support info@solchicks.io
Q9 from Telegram user @Gemshunter22
Can you tell us more about your team and background? Is it that your team is fully public and what experience do you have before?
Perry:
The team is fully doxxed on our website: solchicks.io
Background across strategy, marketing, community building, etc! We have experience building big, sustainable businesses that are PROFITABLE while being user-centric.
We are all well versed in the cryptocurrency space and love games/blockchain.
Our CEO William previously worked at some of the most prestigious firms in the world including McKinsey, as a trusted advisor to the most influential businesses.
Q10 from Telegram user @NAZMP2
On the Solana blockchain, SolChicks’ objective is to become the top fantasy NFT PvP and P2E gaming ecosystem. So, how do you plan to accomplish this mission? What makes SolChicks stand out amid a sea of fantastic projects, which is great for the crypto space? What will it do to take over the space?
Perry:
To be honest – there are not many projects (if at all) on Solana that have released a playable game demo and are actually launching within the next few months.
As one of the first movers, we’re taking advantage of our position in this space. We don’t plan to disappoint.
The quality of our game demo is spectacular (play it via our site and less us know what you think!)
Lots of blockchain games are played simply because there is earning potential. As massive gaming fans, we wanted to combine the best of both worlds (FUN AND LUCRATIVE).
For casual players:
Multiple game modes include raids, tournaments, quests, and more.
No play-to-win and all players matched based on MMR for fairness.
Game mechanics are easy to learn and derived from familiar games like Diablo, League of Legends, and Dota 2.
For farmers:
Making our game as accessible as possible. We are doing this by partnering with multiple guilds (to access scholar programs) and allowing players to rent a non-NFT to play the game and make money without an original NFT.
One thing that makes us stand out is how much thought we put behind the mechanics. Before we even considered play-to-earn mechanics, we made sure the game concepts were well thought out and that it was actually friggen fun?!
Making this game has been an extremely intricate process, assisted by over 70 people. In 10 weeks – we have broken so many records.
Like dayum over 30 launchpads (and more coming!), transaction volume, the speed that we push updates out. It’s amazing.
That’s all for today! Congratulations to all the winners.
Part 3 – Quiz Results
In the final part, we tested your knowledge in terms of SolChicks. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part. The total reward pool for the quiz was 300$.
