[SeekingFeedback] Tiny Dragons NFT Games & Yield Farming

Proposal details

Project Name

Tiny Dragons NFT + Dragon Crypto Gaming Farming

Project Type

On-chain Games, NFTs, Yield-farming

Proposal Description

Tiny Dragons is an NFT gaming platform with a unique play-to-earn gaming mechanism. The initial, highly successful offering of Tiny Dragons was deployed on the Avalanche network and all 1,000 were minted in under 10 minutes.

Each Tiny Dragon NFT is completely unique and assigned a rank depending on the attributes that it has, such as colouring, eyes, etc.

In order to distribute the in-game currency, we are creating a Yield Farm for our aptly named IoTeX token: $iDCG. The yield farm also includes auto compounding vaults, audited by Paladin.

Currently, Tiny Dragons offers gladiatorial league fights (Tiny Dragons Arena) that reward the top winners with entry fees minus a small commission. Rewards are also given to top Tiny Dragons on the leader boards. Users can upgrade their Tiny Dragon’s stats by paying a fee, which allows them to boost their stats to enter higher-tier matches.

More than 900 users have participated in the arena.

Soon, we will be releasing Tiny Dragons Adventures. Users will also be able to earn rewards (which includes tokens, DNA, and equipment) by sending their Tiny Dragons on adventures (comparable to staking). Rewards will vary depending on the Tiny Dragon’s level and the duration of the adventure.
We are also developing the Tiny Dragon Lab where users will be able to extract DNA from pairs of Tiny Dragons and use it in combination with DNA earned in Tiny Dragons Adventures to create rare and powerful offspring.

We are looking for funding to further develop Tiny Dragons, re-imagining them, specifically for IoTeX, with new accessories and backgrounds more relevant to the chain.
We’re choosing IoTeX as it offers a new opportunity for our project, we’re excited about a relatively new chain and the first-mover advantage. IoTeX also fits well, due to the large number of interactions required by the nature of on-chain gaming, which requires cheap, fast transactions.

We are requesting a total of $100,000. As well as funding, we are looking for IoTeX’s advice with product development and marketing.
