After more than a year of preparation and development, Meli, the most anticipated GameFi project in 2021, will finally launch its debut Meliora NFT on the 21st, October! Meli is an NFT battle game incorporating elements from sub-cultures, and a variety of gameplays, such as matchmaking, ranking, incubation, and nurturing. Players can join in battles through PVE or PVP modes to enrich game rewards.
Each Meliora in the Meli game is a separate, playable NFT, which, along with PCE or MELI token rewards distributed to battle winners, can be freely traded on the in-game marketplace. Players can buy more powerful Meliora NFTs in this marketplace or sell them for stablecoins. Meli’s trading marketplace provides ample liquidity for all player transactions.
Details about the Launch
Meli will sell on BSC chain, and the payment token is ETH (BEP20). In total, 45,000 Melioras will be sold, and the event starts from 21st. There are daily sale and for every 24 hours a new round will start. The price of each round will increase by 7%. The details are as below:
Double benefits for participants
Lower participation cost ;
To participate in Meli’s battles you must have at least three Meliora NFTs. This means that the cost of acquiring Meliora NFTs is critical as it directly determines the player’s ultimate benefit
There are 7 selling rounds, and the price increases by 7% in each round. The earlier players participate, the lower the cost of buying a Meliora NFT. For example, players buy 3 Melioras in the first round for only 60, but in the seventh round, these Melioras will cost 90, an increase of 50%.
So players who want to participate in the Meli game must prepare ETH (BEP20) in advance to grab the opportunity of low-price Melioras in the first round, during which only 1000 NFTs will be available. First come, first served.
Join the genesis staking event ;
In addition to lower entry costs, the second benefit for players is the opportunity to stake PCE tokens which are an important part of Meli’s tokenomics and can be used to upgrade and incubate Melioras.
As a reward for early players who participate in the first round of Melioras NFT sale, Meli will open PCE initial staking at the same time. After Meliora NFT sale starts, players can participate in NFT staking for PCE tokens. That is, players can stake for PCE immediately after buying NFT. The benefits of initial staking are obvious for experienced DeFi players who are aware that the rewards will be much higher because there are fewer participants in initial staking pool. It is thus imperative to ensure you don’t miss the the first round.
The total number of PCEs in the NFT pool is 50 million, which will be staked for 20 days. The details are as follows:
How to play Meli?
Matchmaking
PVE ;
Each Meliora has a private territory for PVE. For each level up, the player is rewarded with PCE and experience, and the PCE can be used to upgrade and hatch Meliora. Each levels has different evaluations and when you pass the evaluation with 3 stars, you can unlock a new level.
PVP ;
In PVP, players can match and form a team to play against each other. PVP is the only way to get MELI rewards, which is a key asset for players to breed and hatch new Melioras. Participating in PVP is an essential part of the game for all players. During PVP, players will earn ranking points which will be used for references for distribution of all MELI reward. The higher the ranking points, the larger the MELI prize pool that players will share.
Upgrade your Meliora ;
Melioras in the game can be upgraded to get stronger battle power.
To upgrade a star for each Meliora consumes 1 Meliora of the same type and a certain number of PCE. The number of consumed heroes and PCE will increase as the level goes high.
The higher levels of your Melioras, the more difficult the upgrading. But their battle power will also become stronger as well, and gives the player more advantages in the game, which can greatly improve the winning rate. The highest ranking is 5 stars.
Hatching ;
Each Meliora in Meli has 4 skills and each skill is divided into three levels: low, medium and high. Players can hatch new Melioras to obtain higher level skills.
The hatching process requires the use of two Melioras (parent and mother), in addition to a certain amount of PCE and MELI tokens. The hatching of new Melioraes takes 5 days, but parent Melioras are free to participate in battles once the hatching operation is completed. In other words, they are immune from the restrictions of the hatching cycle.
Each Meliora can participate in hatching up to 7 times, and the more frequent the participation, the higher the PCE and MELI tokens consumed during hatching.
Meli’s tokenomics
Meli uses a dual-token model. There are two types of tokens in circulation in the game, MELI and PCE. The details are as follows:
Meli’s Advantages
Better Image Design
Visual effect is the first impression of a game to the user. An excellent game must be able to catch the user’s immediate attention. Meli’s founding team believes that most of the current GameFi projects lack aethetics and collection value. A game with a simple monster can no longer satisfy the players’ pursuit of gaming experience. Therefore, the team spent nearly two years on Meli’s image design. The visual design is of the highest level of technology stack and design elements in the blockchain, making the game experience a visual feast
More diverse game play
Meli game has PVE adventure mode, PVP arena mode, Meliora upgrading, breeding, etc. that relies on the Play to Earn model. These varied gameplays give Meli game more fun.
Each Meliora has an independent territory level, and the Melioras can get extra rewards in their exclusive territory levels. The more types of heroes the user has, the more PCE income can be generated; PVP arena holds contest on a weekly basis, and the reward is more widely distributed, allowing most players to have a chance to get MELI rewards; Meliora upgrading provides an opportunity for Melioras to improve their combat power. The mechanism of consuming NFT and PCE in the upgrade process further increases the scarcity of assets in the game.
Lower participation thresholds
In GameFi’s masterpiece Axie Infinity, the current price of an Axie is up to $300 to $400, and the threshold for first-time participation is over $1000, which is unaffordable for most users. Meli, on the other hand, is only $20 for a Meliora at the early stage, providing a new market opportunity for all GameFi players.
In addition, MELI has successfully reached deep strategic cooperation with game guilds and communities in Europe, America, Asia Pacific and Southeast Asia. These collaborations will open a convenient channel for wealth players to find a channel to earn more benefits, thereby meeting the needs of users in different markets.
Summary
At this stage, many blockchain games foreground the investment nature of blockchain before the fun character of a game. But no matter what the type of the game is, gaming always comes first. Otherwise it is just a merely blockchain product with fine package at its outside.
With the new financial model of GameFi, Meli integrates the fun nature of traditional games and the revenue nature of blockchain. At the meantime, it makes significant improvements in the visual design, playability, innovation and storytelling of the game. The game narratives allow players to regain the most authentic experience of traditional games, which caters to the culture and entertainment habits of young people and allows users to enjoy the game and get the corresponding benefits.
