We are proud to announce the successful rollout of Racket Rampage’s public beta globally for both the Apple App Store and Google Play. We are thrilled to share that, to the best of our knowledge, Racket Rampage stands as the first full-featured mobile web3 game (as opposed to a "light" hyper-casual experience) to launch on major app stores with full compliance and equipped with a dedicated team, robust backing, and an enthusiastic/supportive NFT holder community from our Genesis collection.
We are now poised for success: tens of millions of players enjoying the Super Champs universe across our games like Racket Rampage and Bullet League as well as our media efforts such as the Kigu video channels on TikTok, Youtube, and Instagram.
While we will be expanding the scope of tokens and NFTs in the Racket Rampage economy over time, our focus for the moment is to ensure that our Genesis holders continue to receive community, game, and ecosystem privileges for these pinnacle assets. To that end, we wanted to summarize the benefits for player accounts in the game with connected Genesis Champs that we will be rolling out as we launch on mainnet:
- Ticket Generation: Holding Champs increases the rate at which tickets are generated. Tickets are needed to participate in Seasonal Events - which are necessary to progress through the Season Rewards. More tickets let you play more Seasonal Events. The factor by which Ticket Generation increases is dependent on the quantity and quality of Genesis NFTs held in the wallet. (Q1 2024)
- Monthly HODL Benefit: A monthly Slammers allocation is available for Genesis holders. The allocation is decided by Joyride and will be provided to Genesis NFT holders who have connected their wallets to their Joyride accounts. Slammers are useful for playing the game and trading assets, including purchases of Genesis Champ NFTs. (Q1 2024)
- Exclusive Content: Genesis NFT holders get access to exclusive events, gear, and seasonal content. Some of this exclusive content provides unique and entertaining paths to progress, and some is purely for bragging rights (you show-offs know who you are!). (Q1 2024)
- One-time NFT HODL Bonus: Slammers will be awarded the first time a Racket Rampage Genesis Champ is connected to a Joyride wallet post mainnet launch. Slammers are in-game premium currency that can be used to upgrade Champs, upgrade gear, participate in premium tournaments, or trade items on the Joyride marketplace - including purchases of Genesis Champ NFTs. Slammers will be given out based on the quantity and the hodl duration of the NFTs in the wallet that is connected. Once claimed, Slammers can't be claimed for the same Genesis Champ even if it changes hands (wallets). (Q2 2024)
- Season Collectibles: At the start of each Season, Collectibles are allocated to Genesis Champ holders who have connected their wallets to their Joyride accounts. Collectibles are necessary to upgrade Gear. Only Genesis Champ Holders can sell Collectibles in the in-game marketplace for Slammers. (Q2 2024)
- Marketplace Privileges: Only Genesis NFT holders have the ability to list Collectibles for sale in the marketplace during a Season. This exclusive capability allows Genesis holders to participate in the economy as sellers of desirable collectibles to other players. All players (including web2 players) need Collectibles to upgrade their gear, which in turn makes their Champs stronger on the court. (Q3 2024)
Keep in mind that all features in the game, including these planned benefits, are dynamic and subject to change; we’re on a journey together in building and evolving the game as an ongoing service.
Beyond these in-game benefits, we will continue to give Racket Rampage Genesis Champ holders a privileged place in the game community and in the broader Super Champs ecosystem as partners in building this franchise together. As our other games launch and start incorporating NFTs, please also look out for additional opportunities to participate in these new and exciting developments.
The journey is just starting, and we’re excited that you’re along with us for this amazing joyride! If you have any further questions, please follow us on Twitter or join us on Discord and we’ll be happy to address them.
