Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Hello Satoshi\nClub! We are happy to announce our AMA session with Kaby Arena! Welcome to\nSatoshi Club😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Today\u2019s guests are @nhan_bui @AnhPhan88! Welcome!\nGreat to have you here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phan Anh:\n<\/strong>Hi everyone, it’s our pleasure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Hello, guys! Happy to e-meet you! How was your day?🙂<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>We are working double time to get everything ready for IDO 😂<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Oh, i can only imagine 👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Hard work will bear great fruits 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>I think we can start our AMA than🙂<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>We are ready 💪<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Could you please introduce yourself and tell us more\nabout Kaby Arena 😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Hello everyone, big thanks to your interest in our project and for\nattending this AMA and. I’m Nhan, co-founder and CEO of Kaby Arena. I’m here to\nanswer anything you’d like to know about the game, about our vision, hopefully\nby doing so, you guys will join us on this exciting adventure ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A bit about myself, I have a background in competitive gaming with Dota\n1. With the release of Dota 2 on Steam and Steam Marketplace, I got into\ncollectibles trading and made quite a bit of money in 2013-2014. However, with\nSteam, you never truly own the items and P2P trading for profit is trust-based\nand prohibited by Steam. That’s why when the idea of NFT game came out, it\nimmediately clicked to me. In Kaby Arena, we want to replicate the success of\nthe Steam Marketplace and their Free-to-play model. I believe by combining them\nwith the trending Play-to-Earn model, Kaby Arena will become a pioneer in NFT\ngaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes, that’s a good time now to start such kind of\nproject! So, how long did it take you to develop Kaby Arena?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Perfect timing, I’d say – the crypto gaming niche is\nliterally exploding right now 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Our studio have several games in the making since the beginning of this\nyear, but after we decided to adopt blockchain technology inbto Kaby Arena in\nMay, we put everything else on pending and only focus on this project since\nthen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Gotcha 👍 Also could you tell\nus more about your upcoming IDO😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>At the moment we have pretty much wrapped everything with our launchpads,\nonly waiting to sign all the paperwork now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If nothing goes wrong our IDO will be available on 31 August, on 4\nlaunchpads: DAO Maker, Red Kite, Gamefi, and Gate Startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>That’s right around the corner! Save the date\nSatoshi Clubbers! 🎉🔥<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Nice platforms i need to say and not so long to wait👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>We have some community questions ready for you to\nanswer, so we can get deeper into what Kaby Arena will offer to its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Ready to answer them? 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>We are 💪<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Let’s go 🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q1 from Telegram user @Ajpaa <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n League of Legends, Dota 2, CS:GO, Fortnite, etc. all\nimplemented Free-to-Play games like Kaby Arena. So What is unique about Kaby\nArena? Kaby Arena intends to always keep the enthusiasm of its community and\nplayer base through Competitive scene like dynamic ranking system, matchmaking\nalgorithm and competitive tournaments hosted periodically all year round that\nwill separate Kaby Arena apart and bring longevity to the game. Can you briefly\nexplain these dynamic ranking system, matchmaking algorithm and competitive\ntournaments? How are they implemented in your ecosystem? Are there requirements\nto participate in these competitive scenes and will they avail community\nmembers rewards?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Kaby Arena employs an ELO ranking algorithm that rank you based on your\nrecent performance against other opponents in PvP mode. If you win against a\nhigher ranked player, your rank will improve dramatically while if the opponent\nis lower rank than you then it will only improve a liitle bit. You can see this\nmechanism in many other games such as Dota 2, Fifa , etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customizable pairing system (or more commonly known as matchmaking sytem)\nprovide you with more options when you find PvP match. You will be matched with\nopponents that are similar rank with you and match your criteria. For example,\nyou can choose to exclude players who have a full team of NFT heroes from the\nopponents pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The two features provide fairness to all players and make the game both\nfun and competitive to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>We will host 3 kinds of tournaments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Weekly tournament: everyone can participate, 4 similar rank players\nwill be grouped together. The winner receive the prize and the weekly cup<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Quarterly tournament: Only the holders of the weekly cups can\nparticipate. 8 random players will be grouped together. Winner receive prize\nand the quarterly cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Annual tournament: Our biggest event of the year. Holders of quarterly\ncups can participate. In addition top 100 rank players can participate too.\nLargest prize pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our only concern is the current COVID-19 situation that can prevent\noffline events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>May be you can host online events instead?😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>offline tours always have their own unique type of hype 🤘<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>For sure! When do you plan your first tournament?😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>but pretty much impossible considering the covid situation \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I agree, but the kind of vibes that give you goose\nbumps just minutes ahead of the tournament 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>I never thought this will be so long and annoying 🤷<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>We will have to wait until it’s\npossible to travel internationally without 14 days quarantine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>at least with some sort of vaccine passport<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Hope so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I’m pretty sure that good organization and a great\nproduct will make up for the unfortunate impossibility of hosting a rea-life\ntournament for the time being 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you for your answers, guys! Ready to proceed?😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q2 from Telegram user @Jmagsss<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I saw an article about Kaby Arena acquiring a\n\u2018Developer-Grant\u2019 from the Polygon Network. From this, I would assume that Kaby\nArena will be building network support for the Polygon blockchain. Can you tell\nus more about from this partnering and are you already in talk with the Polygon\nteam following this news? Also, what do you think will be added into Kaby\nArena\u2019s features and value once Polygon\u2019s utilities are implemented into your\nproducts, NFTs and the game itself?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Actually we built the game on Polygon chain before applying for the grant\n\ud83d\ude42 We decided to choose Polygon due to the low gas fee, which will enable a lot\nof cool things such as covering the gas fee for our users, and make the game\ngas-less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be extremely important since we intend to onboard even players\nwho have no idea about cryptocurrency. They will be able to check out the game\nwithout a Metamask wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>What are the main benefits of Polygon grant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>It’s mostly about recognition from the Polygon team, they will give us\nextra coverage from their social media. We will do an AMA with Polygon team\nduring our IDO launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>So you’re only considering Polygon blockchain to\nwork with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>The game will run on Polygon, but the token sale will be available on BSC\nas well. Lots of people asked for BSC so we think it’s best to launch on both\nchains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Brilliant, thank you for the comprehensive answer 😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Ready for the next question? 🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Ready 👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q3 from Telegram user @Jonahapagu<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the assets that will be available on Kaby\nArena is the Kaby Non-NFT Heroes which is untradable and will be issued as a\nFree reward from PvE mode and it is also stated that these Can be ascended to\nNFT Heroes using Kaby token.. since this asset is untradable, what will be the\nuse or importance of this asset in kaby arena and how can players ascend this\nasset into NFT Heroes using kaby token, what amount of kaby token will players\nneed to achieve this..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>The untradeable non-NFT heroes are randomized and given out to every\nplayers to make the game Free-to-Play. You can use these heroes to play the\ngame without investing anything (unlike most other NFT games).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a player got familiar with the game and understand the Play-to-Earn\npotential of Kaby Arena, they can ascend their best free heroes into NFTs by\nspending KABY tokens or buy NFTs from other players. Ascension will give your\nheroes better stats, and the process will be simple with only one click. As for\nthe cost, we are in the process of balancing the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Will the free heroes still be able to compete\nagainst “ascended”, NFT heroes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Wow, i like this system! Can users earn tokens by\nplaying using free heroes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Of course, the game is tactical so you can definitely win with slightly\nweaker heroes. There’s also the Crypto Wars mechanism to close the gap vs Premium\nplayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>So, i think it’s also answer to my question😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Yes they can, but there’s a weekly cap to the amount of tokens they can\nearn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However there’s no limit to other drops such as treasure chests,\nequipment, or upgrade scrolls. All of these can be sold on the market, just\nlike Dota or CSGO items in the early days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Fantastic! 🎉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you for your answers, guys! Ready to jump to\nthe next question?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes, looks amazing 🔥<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>The next question is about the heroes features and\nskills 🙂<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q4 from Telegram user @Cheriemike<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Kaby Arena Battle for a player to progress in the\ngame, players will collect heroes and each hero is one of the 5 elements: Wind,\nFire, Water, Light, Darkness.My question is,Can you tell us each heroes unique\nstats and abilities?Are there any similar skill derive on each heroes\nelement?What are the advantage of each heroes when used in the battle mode?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>In Kaby Arena, we have hero elements, categories, races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. There are 5 elements as you mentioned, which forms a counter system:\nFire counters Wind, Wind counters Water, Water counters Fire, Darkness and\nLight counters each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. There will at least 20 races at official launch, which decides race\ntalents – special skills that is unique to that race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Other than 5 elements, Kaby heroes are divided in 4 different\ncategories based on their stats distribution: Attack, Defend, Speed, and HP.\nThese categories define the main attribute and the skills pool. For example,\nSupport Hero will have Support skills<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more detail, please follow our “Get to Know Kaby Arena”\nseries on our medium: https:\/\/medium.com\/@kabyarena<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Cool! Are we still on time to join the testing phase\nof the game? 🙃<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>I think we still missed one important detail in our\nAMA😀 tell us please, who are in your team and who is\nresponsible for creating such great concept for your game😀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>At the moment our client is still in internal test phase. Official demo\nwill be available in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes, that’s also a pivotal question to be answered 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Our game studio is Ziga game, we mostly focused on web and mobile games\nbefore. Kaby Arena will be our first blockchain project, the blockchain code\nand smart contract will be assisted by our partner Rikkeisoft<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>And this is also very interesting question 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Perfect, thank you very much! Crystal clear answers!\n👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul\nMont | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Let’s move onto the next question, shall we? 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q5 from Telegram user @Highpee<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Project usually makes use of IDO or IEO during the\ninitial crowdfunding presale phase. However, I found out that your project has\nlaunched Community Venture Offering (CVO) and I don\u2019t think I am familiar with\nthis type of presale system. Can you explain how CVO is done and the advantage it\nhas over IDO\/ICO which made you to prefer it? How is Community Ventures\ndifferent from Venture Capital? Who can join this event and how many\nparticipants do you need at this stage? Also, I learnt that investors who will\nbe whitelisted will be able to send $300 for the purchase of token to you but\nonly 24% of this bought token will be released at launch. When will\nwhitelisting ends and When will the remaining tokens be released?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Kaby Arena’s private sale has concluded a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That particular CVO is actually not provided by us. It’s an offer from\none of our VC – DEC Ventures. They were one of our earliest investors, and now\nthey decide to share some of their own private round allocation to the\ncommunity under the format of a CVO. Hence the small ticket size. 24% unlocking\nat TGE is the same schedule with private round. You can check details in our\nwhitepaper (https:\/\/docs.kabyarena.com\/whitepaper)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Our public sale will open at the end of this month, and details on\nwhitelist will be released within a few days on https:\/\/t.me\/KabyArena_ann <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please stay tuned 🙏<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Satoshiclubbers, i want to remind you – don’t miss\nyour chances!👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary\nSatoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you for your answers! Ready for the 6th and\nlast question from this part?🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q6 from Telegram user @Manugotsuka<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading about your project I saw that It says\n\u201cAssets for rent\u201d, so can you explain us how this rent system works? Also which\nassets can be rented?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nhan Bui:\n<\/strong>Good question! Renting is a way for NFT owner to make passive profit from\ntheir unused NFTs and a way for F2P players to experience the NFTs with minimum\nfee. We offer two method of renting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Peer-to-peer: renting through smart contract directly between the\nusers. To avoid risk for both parties, a collateral is required. Often the collateral\nis higher than the value of the rented NFT. It will be locked during the rent\nduration and will be awarded to the owner of the NFT if the renter fails to\nreturn the item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Using Kaby game studio as a trusted 3rd party: no collateral is\nrequired. The NFT will be locked by us, a non-tradeable copy will be sent to\nthe renter, and destroyed by the end of the rent. This method is cheaper than\nthe previous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only NFTs can be rented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
