Introduction of Meli project.
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Hello satoshi clubbers! Today we are excited to announce our ama session with Meli games! Welcome to satoshi club 😄😀
Today’s guest are @alain_garner and @warrenmthw! Welcome! Great to have you here!
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
We are glad to tell about you Meli games! Welcome to our dear guests.
Alain garner::
Thank you so much, glad to be here
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Hello alain, it’s a great pleasure for us to have you here at satoshi club🥳
How are you today? 😁
Alain garner::
@warrenmthw is my colleague And co-founder
It’s really late here in Hong Kong
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
What hour there?
Alain garner::
Friday night tough 🥳 It’s 9 pm
Warren matthew::
Hi everyone
Apologies, we had technical difficulties 😂
Alain garner::
Weekend tomorrow 🥳
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Yeay 🥳
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Aww I have fond memories of my friday nights
And that’s a plus 😉
Alain garner::
We can play the game we made 😊
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
So, let’s have a great time and learn a lot about Meli games. Please let’s begin the ama with a short introduction about you for our community.
Alain garner::
I think a great way to start is watching our 22 second game clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tknqngvemw
Warren matthew::
Sure, we have a string team of various backgrounds. Including blockchain, video games, hardware and traditional finance
Alain garner::
Warren calls them the string team, I call us the all star team 🤩
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Beautiful introductory video 🤩
Alain garner::
Warren matthew::
We came together for two things, to create the greatest p2e game that helps people make money and our love if video games!
Meli games are focused on making great video game experiences that pay you to play!
Our first game launches this month and we are so excited to share with you! Haha I meant strong 🤣
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Maybe you can use both – “the strong star team” 😁🤩
Alain garner::
But we are computer nerds, so not that physically strong 🤓
Paul mont | satoshi club::
You can be in-game strong though haha
Warren matthew::
That’s true! Spend Meli to earn more Meli! It’s so easy to do
Paul mont | satoshi club::
How long has the Meli games project been in development up until today?
Warren matthew::
Gosh, Too long
We started late last year, so at least that long
Alain garner::
Too many late nights coding
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Good things take, great ones take even more time, right? 😁😉
Alain garner::
I like how you say good things take, but no mention of time 😜 Only great ones take even more time.
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Great teaser, what games inspired you to create the Meli games?
Warren matthew::
Well. We love the zelda series. Most of the team grew up with sega/snes titles
Alain garner::
Zelda is a legend
Warren matthew::
We wanted to bring a sense of familiarity to the game
Alain garner::
Pun intended
Warren matthew::
But also keep it new for entertainment. So we settled on a team based PVP/PVE. Similar to final fantasy series but on mobile
Alain garner::
One of the best ones, I may add, I may have a biased though 😅
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Gotcha, we can see similar aspects in the design of the characters
Warren matthew::
Yeah, haha.You may recognise some payable characters from pop culture. We had to change them to avoid copyright strikes. Playable*
Alain garner::
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Lovely art 😀
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Well, we are excited to know more about the project. Ready to proceed with the community questions?
Warren matthew::
Of course!
Preselected questions about the Meli DeFi project.
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Q1 from telegram user @cheriemike
I noticed that Meli game have two token,the $pce (clean energy) and $Meli token.my question is,what does the letter “p” stands for in the $pce token?$Meli token has a limited supply of 1 billion but $pce has unlimited supply.since $pce is unlimited,they may sometimes lead to high inflation,but some developers design the ecosystems in the way that it is actually never really unlimited.is that the same with $pce token?what is the value of $Meli when compared to $pce?and what price can one purchase both tokens before engaging in your game?
Warren matthew::
That’s a good question haha
Alain garner::
Warren matthew::
Some of us say powerful, some say protected it’s an internal argument what it means
Alain garner::
42
Warren matthew::
Meli is the rockstar in the Meli universe, pce is designed to compliment the system and avoid players who stock up on Meli during ido to beat every other player
On launch the price will increase so much so we expect players to take advantage of this.
Alain garner::
Our two tokens can be used for leveling up characters or hatching new ones
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
What are the main usecases of each token?
Warren matthew::
We want this game to be accessible for all, so we started on designing the ecosystem to ensure players can earn money in the most simple way. @alain_garner has a fantastic grasp of the ecosystem
Alain garner::
So for hatching a new character represented as an NFT you need two Meliora’s and Meli tokens
For leveling up your character, you need clean energy tokens pce
Or you can purchase a really high level character with Meli tokens
Warren matthew::
The cost of pce is extremely low, as its main purpose is to govern the ecosystem. Around 0.001 usd
Meli will be launched at around 0.5 but if you join the whitelist you can get Meli much, much cheaper if you see the same vision we do 😉
Alain garner::
https://jack-sanders.gitbook.io/Meli-games/
Paul mont | satoshi club::
So the pre-sale whitelist is open right now? What are the criteria users need to meet to be eligible/participate?
Warren matthew::
It’s not right now. But you can join our social media to find out when
Warren matthew::
Hint: it’s very very soon
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Haha great, and here’s a great moment to share your social media links 🙂
Alain garner::
My hint might be too strong
Warren matthew::
Maybe earlier 😉
Paul mont | satoshi club::
I guess that’s a revelatory hint, thanks @alain_garner 😁
Alain garner::
Hahahah, I need to find it lol. This is our telagram
https://t.me/Meli_games
I guess as were seeing you on telegram you think telegram is the best 😜 We are also on discord and twitter
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Don’t miss out satoshi clubbers! Especially when such great opportunities present themselves in plain sight, join up! 😉
Thank you for the clear answers guys. Are you ready to proceed with the next question?
Alain garner::
Your welcome. What about twitter 😂
https://twitter.com/0xMeligames
Paul mont | satoshi club::
I would sign up to all of the social channels, just to be sure I won’t miss on a particular notification lol
The second question fromour beloved community is knocking at the door 🙂 Are you ready?
Alain garner::
Yep fire away
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Q2 from telegram @arisabela
The global economic crisis has led citizens of countries like venezuela, vietnam and the philippines to use blockchain games as a real life saver, however one of the biggest barriers is the high initial investment costs in most games … you can tell us if Meli games is a cheap alternative so that users from the most needy countries can generate income with skills and hard work? What is your vision in relation to this issue?
Alain garner::
That’s what attracts us to play to earn games. We want to empower people
Warren matthew::
Of course, so one NFT can be sold around $20 usd
Alain garner::
Make the world a better place and also fun, watts not fun about games 🕹
Warren matthew::
But to breed an NFT, it only costs arund $2 usd! In places where the monthly salary is around $250usd this makes a huge impact on the players lives.
Alain garner::
Wow thats a lot of profit. I want to play 😄
Warren matthew::
But when you take into account how much a player can earn from battling, farming, and also breeding the upside is enormous!
Paul mont | satoshi club::
So, will it be possible to play the game without any (or minimum) initial investment?
Paul mont | satoshi club::
If there’s an initial investment involved, what could be a *rough* estimate of that starting commitment?
Warren matthew::
Very minimal. We want people to earn from these games
In my past experience, some people spend thousands of dollars from these free-to-play games
We want players to earn real money from our games. NFTs will be sold first for $20 usd but who knows how high they can go. Especially when you’re using them in the game! But special items and even land can be bought and sold
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Nice 🙂
Warren matthew::
I would really focus on the ido/igo later this month. There’s no way Meli will be this low price forever!
Alain garner::
Basically everything to be bought and sold. We want the players of our game to own our game. NFT lets us do that
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Have you already chosen igo/ido partner platform(s) for the event?
Alain garner::
We love NFT’s in games
Warren matthew::
We may have, we may not 😄 We are speaking to our final partners next week so expect some announcements soon!
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Hahaha joking 😉 But we love secrets here in satoshi club 😁
Warren matthew::
You may join our social media to find out before anyone else 😉
Alain garner::
We love satoshi club
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Anyway guys, super hyped about the answers, thank you very much 🔥 The next question is a very specific one
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
We love great projects like yours😃
Warren matthew::
Thanks, it means a lot after the hard work we put in. And especially with so many scams in this space we have worked very hard on earning our users trust. We even work with a regulated, compliance partner in the us
We work with a trust company in the us to custody all of our tokens. And we all know how strict us regulation is!
Alain garner::
Paperwork , so much paperwork 😰
Warren matthew::
Haha yes that’s true. And so many lawyers!
Paul mont | satoshi club::
And sometimes not so crypto friendly, but I think we might get there as well one day 😁
Warren matthew::
We hope so! Luckily our trust partner is dedicated to managing crypto assets. So they know how to be compliant and regulated. They have given us a lot of advice this pasty year
Alain garner::
As the russian proverb goes trust but verify
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Great! Question number 3 homing in!
Q3 from telegram user @victorogb
As stated, as users perform certain transaction and operation with the Meli token within the game, the spent Meli tokens end up in what is called the n7 asset trust. Even as the n7 trust literally provides other ecosystem advantages, can we know the primary duty and functions of the trust, what is it’s ultimate goal and how does it help gamers and provide a better economic and financial outlook for your project? Also, since you have partnered with some reputable brands and companies for the management and operations of the trust, may we know overall financial, legal and economic advantages this will give your n7 trust?
Did I mention it’s a very specific question? 😁
Warren matthew::
So the trust partner serves a few purposes. One is to act as the legal custodian of the assets, funds and reserves
Another is to act as our legal us representative And another is make sure no one can steal the assets, as user security is very important to us
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Who are your most important partners?
Warren matthew::
The team for sure. In terms of industry partners, we can not disclose that just yet. The trust partner is very important to us and our users. As they help us control the supply of the token
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Have you done audits to verify that the legal items are ok?
Warren matthew::
100%
Not just on the trust partner due diligence but also on our smart contracts
There’s a small company called certik that took great interest in how compliant we wanted to be. Spoiler: certik have some of the largest crypto projects as their clients
Paul mont | satoshi club::
We know certik as one the most trusted auditing firms in the crypto space 🔝
Andrés m. | satoshi club::
Which problems did you find or everything is ok?
Alain garner::
Wow you also did your homework 😝
Warren matthew::
We found some minor issues with NFT breeding, but nothing that would affect our users. Meli came back 100%
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Haha it’s common knowledge 😉 Thanks a lot for the answers guys!
Are you ready to proceed with the next question or do you want to add anything else?
Warren matthew::
Fire away!
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Q4 from telegram user @itsMelissa3
I read that in player versus player (pvp) mode, the player plays against other online players to earn Meli tokens. What aspects is the system based on when assigning opponents? My understanding is that winners can win pce tokens. How many games do we need to win in order to receive those rewards? Is there any penalty for the user who loses the match?
Alain garner::
It is kind of hard to answer this question because you’re basically right. You are put against similar players
Warren matthew::
There’s no penalty if you lose but you have everything to gain!
Alain garner::
It is just like in sports if you win, you go up a rank
Warren matthew::
The game also monitors rarity of your NFT characters
Paul mont | satoshi club::
Can we assume that high ranking players will get prizes for ending up, e.g., in the top 100 ranks of the leaderboard?
Warren matthew::
Of course!
Alain garner::
If you find yourself losing a lot you can upgrade your character
Warren matthew::
We will hold weekly leagues for players to prove their worth!
Alain garner::
That sounds like a challenge 🕹
Paul mont | satoshi club:
I am also curious, what kind of benefits will bring lands into the ecosystem? And how many lands NFTs will be available (provided that this is not another secret to keep before launch 😁)
Warren matthew:
So. That’s a feature for future games
Meli is our first title, next year we have multiple games players can spend meli. We can’t disclose how many land titles will be available but it won;t be enough for everyone
A player that holds a meli nft land title can earn money from other players who join their land, and those players eanr extra meli from the games!
Paul mont | satoshi club:
Excitingly cool! 🔥
Warren matthew:
We want payers to earn. That’s the main focus of meli
Paul mont | satoshi club:
I’m pretty satisfited by your answers 😉
Alain garner:
Paul mont | satoshi club:
I’d say, let’s hop onto the next question
Alain garner:
We have so much more to make
Paul mont | satoshi club:
Q2 2022 is not that far – lands integration is coming peeps 🗺🌎🥳
Alain garner:
It doesn’t sound too far away for you , for me and @warrenmthw it’s a lot of sleepless nights cooding
Paul mont | satoshi club:
Hahaha i can picture that 😂
Paul mont | satoshi club:
But you gotta work to make this game great for the masses. Okay guys, great answers, here we go with the next question 😉
Q5 from telegram user @chinyere2020
“clean energy and meli tokens are needed to breed new gynoids. Breeding takes 5 days each time.” Where and how can users get “clean energy”? Is there a life span for the gynoids? How often do users need to bread new gynoids? Can gynoids be converted back to meli tokens and clean energy?
Alain garner:
Lets go one buy one. Can gynoids be converted back to meli tokens and clean energy. I know it’s a bit cliché but i want to use the chicken nugget example
You can turn the chicken into a chicken nugget. Kind of hard to do that in reverse
Warren matthew:
Technically you can sell your nfts for meli!
Alain garner:
So new gynoids are a one way street
Warren matthew:
Pce is earned from various battles in the meliverse
Alain garner:
Pce is clean energy. Battles agenst the cpu
Warren matthew:
Correct 😄
Alain garner:
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Thanks for your answers, now we have the last question of this first part of the ama, are you ready to go ?😃🥳
Alain garner:
Fyi our game narrative
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
That’s the key for the success of a game, a great lore to keep the attention of the gamers 😁
Q6 from telegram user @nhairym
The space of technological games and cryptography is becoming wider and more now with the merger of both sectors, as the team plans to do to include countries with languages other than english, i read that they also have traditional cantonese available, but it takes much more than 2 languages to be a global project, how has covid-19 affected or benefited your platform, what can we expect from meligames by 2022, what are your plans and priorities for next year?
Warren matthew:
So we actually will have bahasa (indonesian) vietnamese, turkish and a whole bunch of other langauges available after launch, join our tg group and let us know what languages you want to see!
Alain garner:
With covid-19 it’s definitely been a hard year for many
Warren matthew:
During covid we saw the potential of play to earn games and we want to make people as much as possible
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
What about an spanish one?
Warren matthew:
As much money 😄 We have a growing latin american community but we don;t have enough to justify a new language!
If we have more spanish speaking players join our community it’s 100% a possibility
Alain garner:
A lot of people are in lockdown looking for new ways of making money. Meli is fun way to make money
Warren matthew:
Maybe if more players join we can focus on integrating spanish or portuguese as quickly as possible
Paul mont | satoshi club:
I’m pretty that will come soon 😉 the spanish communities are big throughout the world, especially in the crypto space!
Warren matthew:
Of course!
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Yes, even we have an spanish community with more than 4k members, would be a pleasure to have you there 💪
Warren matthew:
Oh wow! Let them know, we want as many people to earn meli as soon as possible!
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Btw, could your share us your whole roadmap before to proceed with the live segment?
Paul mont | satoshi club:
Maybe that’s the next step/place where you can showcase meli games @warrenmthw @alain_garner 😉😁
Warren matthew:
If you join meli first you can become an ambassador and even earn meli from new players you invite!
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Amazing, let’s join satoshiclubbers @meli_games
Well, @alain_garner and @warrenmthw, it has been a pleasure to have you with us in this first part
Warren matthew:
It’s been our pleasure. This is the most fun ama we have had!
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Now, the satoshiclubbers are excited to interact directly with you 😃
Paul mont | satoshi club:
And the best is yet to come guys 😉
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
We hope to have you with us again into the near future
Paul mont | satoshi club:
Time to interact with our community members live now😁
Andrés m. | satoshi club:
Well, let’s open the chat for community live questions🥳
PART 2.Questions about the Meli project from the live chat of the telegram community.
In this part, we open a chat for the crypto community for 120 seconds. Then the guests from the Meli crypto project choose the top 10 questions. The 10 crypto enthusiasts have earned cryptocurrency in the sum of 100$.
Q – 1 from a telegram user @satishgmr
Why do You say MELI platform is much easier to operate than other GameFi Projects?
Warren Matthew:
I find this very interesting. First for the data 🙂 , but secondly because it’s a very interesting case for governance. The $TSX will allow users to vote, and the TSX will be distributed to users of the platform by liquidity mining. I find it very powerful and unique that the community itself will be able to decide what goes next, what should we change, enhance, etc. We are considering adding next soccer, and then e-sports in the original plan.
Q – 2 from a telegram user @Mercury654
I Read that Your All team members share the burning passion for video games , Can you tell us more about your Passionate team members , What are their expertise and past experience?
Alain Garner:
Video games we really love video games.
Alain Garner, [15.10.21 17:30]
@Warrenmthw has actually won several awards @Warrenmthw now is the time for you to blow your own trumpet 🥳 Tell us about how amazing you are 🤓
Q – 3 from a telegram user @Tahsinahmett
When MELI Game compares itself to platforms like AXIE Infinity, what are the main distinguishing features and advantages that its competitors do not have?
Warren Matthew:
So we have a much easier process to earn money over AXS, we also have plans to launch a wider ecosystem with land and other games where MELI is the focus. I wouldn;t be suprised if we overtook AXS in price tbh
Q – 4 from a telegram user @sirdefi
You mention that you have a better economic model and deflation mechanism than Axie Infinity, could you explain how your economic model works? What are its features and what makes it so strong and secure?
Warren Matthew:
So we work with N7 Asset trust in the US, who is 100% compliant for US regualtion, the world leader in making things difficult 😄 so because we have a trust partner, we can operate legally but also different than other companies. We can control the supply and demand of MELI to make sure players get a fair price for MELI and also attractive for new players!
Q – 5 from a telegram user @curiosoAMA
How many characters or NFT do I need to have to be able to play in Meli? Can I start playing for free to earn $MELI and reinvest them in order to acquire my first NFT in the game?
Alain Garner:
You have to buy at least three characters to play, it’s really easy to buy, much easier than other NFT games, that is one of our differentiators how easy it is to start playing
Q – 6 from a telegram user @jirencrypto
You say that when playing Meli we can win PCE and $MELI tokens, what are these PCE? What are they for and what is their function within the ecosystem? Why is it important to earn them?
Warren Matthew:
PCE is used to compliment the ecosystem, so only tru players can EARN MELI! This way no one can just buy a lot of MELI and dominate other players, look at AXS for example. Or even traditional free to play games, if you throw USD or AXS at a game you can win very very easily. In MELI you can make sure that only true players of the game are the best of the best!
Q – 7 from a telegram user @victorogb
The Meli Games team holds 8% of the available 1 billion MELI tokens, and as stated this allocation is exclusively reserved to support, develop and oversee various operational activities of the project. Can we know what specific ways Meli Games intends to render this needed support to the projec?
Alain Garner:
Actually the team has 15% 😊
Game rewards is one of our biggest, allocations
Q – 8 from a telegram user @rosary_23
CAN you tell me the Meaning of the project name “MILI” and Why you decided to set it as your project Name?
Alain Garner:
MELI comes from the Spanish word for better, and this exactly what we are striving to build better every day
Q – 9 from a telegram user @chinyere2020
Your economic model shows that 30% of the total supply of $MELI tokens is set aside for game rewards. What determines the share of rewards a user will receive? Does the higher the time spent on the game mean the higher the rewards? Will a user need to deposit, hold or stake $MELI tokens to be able to receive game rewards? Will there be a limit to the rewards a user can earn per day?
What devices is MELI game compatible with?
Warren Matthew:
SO we have future updates that include Staking, Farming and similar DeFi features. We feel we are the first to offer a true gamification of the DeFi world. Think about what this means, a game where you can earn 1000% apy. Things like this are what I personally dreamed of back in 2014 when ETH was first launched. We are very very passionate about making our players profit from our games!
Q -10 from a telegram user @Rinhere
On what theme, MELI Games has build its games?
What does these themes Signifies?
Alain Garner:
Good question, Meliora are split into three Factions referred to as Alignments that have strengths and weaknesses over each other.
Each of the three Factions also have their own storyline and quests encouraging replay value and community engagement.
Part 3 – Quiz about project
In the final part, we tested the knowledge in terms of the Meli project. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part, so everyone could be a part and answer. Participants had 10 minutes to answer. 300$ was distributed between the winners.
