Since 2012, the crypto scene has gone restless: the inflow of new projects sparkled by the birth of NFTs, Non-Fungible Tokens, is keeping the industry at the top of the business world. 2022 alone accounts for over 100% increase in NFT collections, which is why this niche already poses a serious competitive threat to the well-established crypto. Being able to encapsulate the value of any asset - be it physical or digital, - NFTs clearly outdo Bitcoin on the breath of practical applications. This has already been reflected through government, corporate and local initiatives, which gives the first signal that NFTs are going to enforce a dramatic change to the way people live and interact anywhere.

For many, NFTs may become a fun and engaging way to earn extra income. By choosing from a variety of Play-to-Earn games, players have a chance to reap unique rewards, which later serve as access to the gaming world of Metaverse. Such is Infinity Arena, the project that combines sci-fi and tactical play-to-earn NFT card game and builds a world in which players travel across space in search of Zeronium and conduct battles to earn rewards in parallel. By increasing their participation, players also expand the chances to expand the collection of NFTs, which would later enable them to engage in next-level battles with other players. Created on Binance Smart Chain, Infinity Arena attains low gas fees on mining and exchanging activities, which enables limitless participation; this assists the project to attain its ultimate aim of creating a space in which mining, trading, gaming and earning take place in a unique gaming environment with the use of artistically-crafted NFT assets. At this stage, Infinity Arena is ready to announce the jump-start of its INO, which is about to take place on 28 September 2022; NFT Mystery Packs and other extra benefits are sure to be included.

To find out more about the upcoming launch, I reached out directly to the CEO of Infinity Arena, David To.

   1. Hello David! Thanks for joining me today. To begin with, please tell us a few words about yourself.

Hello, it’s a pleasure to be here! My name is David To, I’m the CEO of Infinity Arena – while in parallel, I also run an award-winning software development company in Vietnam. Most recently, it was listed among the Top 10 Blockchain Companies in Vietnam, which is a matter of pride both for me and my co-workers. When starting with Infinity Arena, I brought to the table over 10 years of experience, which I consider an invaluable contribution to any start-up company and the first real key to success. In our team, we managed to assemble people with both passion for innovation and profound expertise in the area. By learning from my past, I’m also trying to be realistic about future trends – nowadays, the area of Decentralized Finance faces radical expansion, which is the first sign of the upcoming mainstream adoption.

    2. What is the mission of Infinity Arena, and where does its novelty lie?

Speaking about the short-term goal, we aim to build a P2E game that triggers players’ interest to go beyond traditional gaming. This is why, we created a powerful narrative-driven exploration game, which, apart from extraordinary gaming experience, allows players to obtain an extra source of income. We are definitely among the early supporters of the new technological trends in gaming. Our profound interest in NFTs allowed expanding the gaming audience from traditional gaming lovers to those who have a passion for novelty, like the world of DeFi. By using a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy gaming modes, we deliver the original gaming experience, which also monetizes users’ commitment to Infinity Arena.

   3. Could you please highlight some of the most important details of the upcoming INO?

Alright! Let’s start with INO Whitelist Sale – it kicks off at 10 AM September 28, 2022 and lasts until 10PM the same day. By this time, we already know the results of the Whitelist Competition that are announced at 10AM on September 26, 2022. The competition itself starts on September 13, 10AM UTC. The public sale will start at 10PM on September 28, and will close at 10AM on September 30. Those who participate have no purchase limit during Public Sale – however, each entrant in Whitelist Sale can have a maximum of 10 Mystery Packs. The sale acts on a first come first served basis; both $INAZ and $BNB currencies can be applied.

   4. Thanks for the information. How can anyone get whitelisted?

As a rule of thumb, we keep an entry barrier for INAZ stakers: those who currently possess not less than 100,000 INAZ accumulated in Staking Pool, are entitled to participate. Also, we have recently announced the details for Gleam participants. Finally, as a tribute to the most active members of Infinity Arena (both Telegram and Discord), we generously enlist the Top 3 participants, in a hope that others will follow their example.

   5. Now, what are the exclusive benefits that are kept only for participants of this event?

Above all, we store 2050 NFT Mystery Packs, plus extra benefits for all participants of INO.

To make it easier, we split NFT Mystery Packs into different categories with corresponding price segments. As the result, we obtained the following list:

• 800 Veteran Packs - Each worth 20,000 INAZ or 0.15 BNB
• 800 Master Packs - Each worth 60,000 INAZ or 0.4 BNB
• 350 Legend Packs - Each worth 100,000 INAZ or 0.7 BNB
• 100 Elite Packs - Each worth 170,000 INAZ or 1.2 BNB

As a way to pay tribute to our community for their support and patience, we will give out special exclusive gifts to all INO participants. For INO Public

Round participants, this includes early access to Battle Game PvP Beta, which will stretch over a random 100 entrants, and a Gift Package for the corresponding Mystery Pack, which includes 100/ 75/ 50/ 25 Lucky Tickets to be used in Lucky Games. For INO Whitelist participants, we saved a different perk: they will receive a discount of 10% for all Mystery Packs.

   6. Can you say a few words about categories of NFT Mystery Packs, and how they differ from one another?

One of the uniqueness of our INO event is that it gives each participant a chance to get equipped with various types of NFT Mystery Packs, prior to jumping straight into Zeronium world. For such, we invented 4 levels of NFT Mystery Packs, each comprised of items varying in rarity. For example, Veteran Mystery Pack includes 1 Package of Mining Tools, with random Rarity to be Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary. When we look at the Master Mystery Pack, we see that, same as Veteran Mystery Pack, it includes 1 Package of Mining Tools, but also has 1 Land Ticket on Planet Unius (with random Rarity to be Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary) on top. Then, Legend Mystery Pack has basically the same content as Master Mystery Pack, but with 1 Legend Guardian Pack as an extra addition. Finally, Elite Mystery Pack, as the most precious one, goes beyond Legend Mystery Pack by replacing the Legend Guardian Pack with 1 Elite Guardian Pack.

To be able to join the Mining Game, all that is needed is a Veteran or Master Pack. 

However, it is a Legend or Elite Pack that provides the full spectrum of access and enables the owner to join Mining Game together with Battle Game.

   7. As October is approaching, what are the most anticipated events for the upcoming month?

I won’t conceal that October is one of the most proliferate months for Infinity Area, as several hot game releases are coming out. First and foremost, Mining Game Release: this is a part of the game in which players will use their mining tool kit to mine Zeronium on any space - be it their own land, rental land or a planet.

Then, Lucky Game Release follows: all of the 4 Lucky Games in Lucky Arena - Jackpot Galaxy, Space Invader, Space Treasure, and Wizard Dart - will go live this month. All participants have to buy some NFT Tickets from the Marketplace - or otherwise, use the Tickets obtained from NFT Mystery Boxes.

Finally, Battle Game PvP Beta Opening is set to take place in October, which is the most thrilling part of the month. In this, you will acquaint yourself with the Heroes, Guardians, and even embark on the first conquering journey in the universe of Zeronium. Before anyone else, chosen players will have a chance to look deeper and explore Infinity Arena’s battlefield, which will be followed by multiple contests with remarkable rewards.

   8. What is the tokenomics of INAZ, the native token of the Infinity Universe?

Infinity Arena Zeronium Token– that’s the full name of INAZ - has a total supply of 1,000,000,000. The token can be minted to enable more people to join in. In our universe, Zeronium is considered the most important limited resource, but also the only mean to defeat the dark side. Zeronium can boast the richness of applications: from buying NFTs and voting in DAO governance, it can also be mined and staked to receive extra rewards. By paying the collected fees, users ensure the functionality of the system through rewards on staking and all-around growth of the system.

   9. What has been the most significant landmark of Infinity Arena so far?

The first round of INO, which we kick off in September, has definitely been our most significant milestone. This means, that after the long process of trial-and-error in the development process, we finally arrived at the proposition that we are ready to unveil to the public. Another achievement was the successful launch of INAZ in IDO in March 2022, which made our token a public property now. Infinity Arena is gaining traction, and more is yet to come until the end of this year.

   10. What are your future plans?

As mentioned earlier, October will become the landmark month of Infinity Arena, as it will simultaneously mark three outstanding Game Releases: Mining Game, Lucky Game and Battle Game PvP Beta Open. For updates on the coming months, stay tuned and follow our newsletter.
