<\/strong> Thanks! 🔥<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Today our guest is @eimajine, welcome sir<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How is going your weekend? 😃<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Superb. At the office. Greece has snow for the first time in decades. Very surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> But good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to Satoshi Club 🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wow, an exciting moment haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Could you please introduce yourself and tell us more about Vulcan Forged 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Sure thing.
British here, but live in Greece now. Guess I\u2019m one of the \u2018lucky\u2019 ones that had a blockchain idea a couple of years ago and it took hold.
Started with a small digital art NFT site called VeriArti, and before long, things have escalated into a full-fledged NFT ecosystem. We’ve got 10+ games and dapps, over $5m in trading volume, a team of 21 now. And our main game which is currently in beta for 300 users is VulcanVerse, which is taking the metaverse decentralized sandbox into new realms<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> [In reply to Jamie | Vulcan Forged]
Super growth! Why art and NFT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always been into NFTs since the silly kitties arrived. So though I’d try my luck at a digital art NFT site. And as we do something called fee delegation, it means there are zero gas fees to make NFTs with us. Because of that plenty more games started using our engine
And then we decided to get into virtual worlds.
Which is where we’re at now really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Vulcano? It is related to the Roman god I imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> But why did you choose this name specifically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Here are some shots of our games and VulcanVerse by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2021-02-21_21-00-00-1024x531.jpg\")

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Vulcan yes.
As it’s the God of fire and forging.
And we forge NFTs.
So kinda made sense.
And sounds better than Hepastses or however it’s pronounced
The Greek name for it.
And also, I think Greco-Roman fantasy is really coming back into style now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So do you have some games that explore this type of mythology? It is an exciting style of videogames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> I like the sense behind your Vulcan Forged 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yes exactly. I mean we have some completely unrelated games like ‘Block Babies’ which is a cute collectible game and some others, but a lot of our games revolve around this mythology. We’ve got a hearthstone game called Berserk which is one of our most popular
It uses the characters from VulcanVerse in it
And of course, everything is an NFT.
Your land, the creatures, your cards, spells.
It’s all very connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excellent graphics, is it necessary to have a good gaming PC to play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not really. Designed for potato PCs really.
Our economy which we’re launching next week revolves very much around play-to-earn.
So you can earn what we call lava by smashing someone in a game of chess or Berserk and duse that to earn rewards or level up creatures in other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> 👍👍👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awesome, I really need to try it, I love mythology and chess😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Then you’ll love our battle chess. All the Vulcanites (our creatures you fight with) are animated on teh chessboard and in the virtual world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Thank you for your intro! Jamie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Ready for the live part?😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m sure I will 💪<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pamp it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em> Vulcan Forged has grown from a small digital art NFT platform to a multi-dApp platform, game studio, launchpad, and a top 5 volume NFT marketplace and just recently you confirmed a cross-chain partnership with Matic Network to launch your ecosystem-wide token $PYR. So aside from MATIC\u2019s rising dApp popularity, what other reasons why you chose to have a partnership with them? Also, what are the Incentives in Bridging to Matic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Well Matic, now Polygon, is probably the top Layer 2 solution, and offers next to nothing transaction fees, fee delegation and quicker settlement times\u2026and to be honest, we had three chains asking us to move there, but the guys at Matic offered the most support.
And tapping into the eth community for our games and NFTs is essential.
Was a little boxed in on VeChain, not much entertainment or dapp usage there.
And the fact we’re the number 1 or 2 biggest usage of their chain kinda tells us we need a bigger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had AMA session with them these days, a great project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Yeah, they’re making big moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, are the high fees of ETH network making work difficult in your NFT platform?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> When we will see the results of your partnership?😉 Or we already can?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
no, because we’re not on ETH. Our NFTs are on VeChain. And our token PYR will be on Polygon\/Matic. Both of which offer next to nothing fees which we sponsor anyway.
Any game or dapp that builds with us never pays fees and we pay the fees needed for NFT transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got it, great decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Why I think Layer 2 solutions are the future for now.
Until eth 2.0 perhaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Thanks for this clarification, are you ready for the next question? 😃<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Always!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em> We almost all are familiar with NFTs but we do not fully know the production process and post-period. Since we can mint NFT on Vulcan platform, can you tell the overall story of an NFT, please? How do we mint, what is needed (images, videos, their formats), how much do we pay, how long does it take, how do we move it to a market, create an auction, etc.?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, we have a customized form for every dapp or game that wants to join us.
They don’t need to worry about fees and such.
It gets minted directly to their wallet, they get a dapp ID in our marketplace and they sell.
Some pics of it is at vulcanforged.com\/anvil<\/a>
You just have to apply to be a game or dapp with us and we take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking about your NFT market, it is a hot topic these days, what makes Vulcan Forged different from its direct competitors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Btw, I like your first NFT so much😂<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those that care for these sorts of things the first-ever officially minted VRA token on mainnet is a tattooed Marilyn Monroe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2021-02-22_08-03-21.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Haha, it’s Vulcan, not Vulcano. But we have no fees for listing, no gas fees to create NFTs, it’s one of the most if not the most advanced NFT marketplaces there is. You can do batch NFT sales, NFT swaps, multiple auctions, very user friendly.
market.vulcanforged.com<\/a> if you want to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crazy, 2\/3 years ago that.
Now we’ve nearly 50k NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wow haha, that’s how MM would look if she was born in this century, I think 😅<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My wife made that actually.
We used it as a test.
And yet here it is.
BTC breaking 60k right now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your wife is really talented 😍<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haha sorry, that’s how is spelled in Spanish 😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah, forgiven then. Vulcan would have been angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haha I’m sure he would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are living a new era in crypto, it is looking for more adoption, what do you think about it?🥳<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think the times of whitepapers and vaporware are finished. I may be a bias of course, but I think the entertainment side of blockchain will flourish this year.
And finally the words crypto and blockchain might finally separate
Which is kinda good<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have other amazing designs to share with our community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not from her no, she’s a tattoo artist, and not sure it’d be relevant here, but take a look at some our models and creatures in VulcanVerse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong> We’ve got one of the best sculptors globally, and that’s not an exaggeration. Every card you see there, that’s an NFT and it has a 3D model attached to it.
Which can be used in the world and across all our games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, which are the most famous characters in the VulcanVerse? apart from Vulcan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wow, a fantastic graphic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are 20 vulcanites of different levels, put the cards up there. But we also have the 12 Titans and 12 Olympians:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2021-01-13_13-10-57.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Cool thing about the gods is that they start as babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which gives you more rewards and game buffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> This is the above god Cronus as a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/cronus1-1024x929.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Have you thought about releasing a physical version of these cards for collectors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haha so cute and powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Yes, we’ve got a board game being made and a card game also.
Actually here’s a good plug about the gamebooks coming out. We’ve got the fighting fantasy authors writing 5 gamebooks on VulcanVerse being released from March.
https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/fantasy-authors-turn-the-vulcanverse-nft-game-into-a-trilogy-of-books<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great, we will be waiting for news about it 💪<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Want to make VulcanVerse a really established ecosystem and household name.
Also got the Gorillaz doing its soundtrack.
Moving away from the voxel web browser sandboxes.
Into AAA graphics with fantasy MMO functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Do you have any trailers of the VulcanVerse?
Maybe an introductory video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are dozens of videos all over Twitter from users and their experiences there. You can see them build and talk through their time. Let me fetch a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong> Sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
