Gaming operations
After pivoting away from a strong focus on the Play-to-Earn model, we’ve been dedicated to perfect our gaming operations on various levels; logistics, testing and engagement.
Through the initial release of our gaming platform, we’ve collected tons of feedback from the initial set of users and our beloved community. That said, a UI/UX overhaul is worked on as we speak, as well as removing the barrier of creating an account before being able to go through the platform. We’re slowly but steadily moving towards a platform that can support our gaming operations completely.
In terms of engaging our community, we organized our first gaming tournament last weekend. Sixteen teams were allowed to join with five people per team, meaning 80 gamers in total participated. The matches were streamed on Facebook and there was great audience participation. We are currently analyzing the data and learning lessons to further work on our tournament strategy to ramp up these activities.
To conclude, we’re excited to improve our gaming testing operations with each game we go through. Having recently wrapped up testing Raini, we’ve shipped a long list of feedback to the team. Eventually, this process can help us assess both our current investments, and upcoming investments supporting our recent thesis of focusing more on high conviction plays.
Treasury overview
The treasury balance as of the 31st of July 2022 is $107,328,764
When calculating our treasury’s balance, we only include non-native assets. This means we do not count the balance of MC tokens towards the total balance of our treasury since it might paint a diluted picture of the reality.
Since MC tokens will not be utilized for investment purposes, they will not be included in our balance sheet. Those interested can view the current balance in the main wallet to be viewed in the wallet overview beneath. In that sense, we have not included the AXS & SLP balance, since both are mainly used for breeding purposes marking them as working capital instead of additional treasury funds.
We will break down the treasury in four categories; cash, staking, NFTs and tokens & equity.
Cash
Staking
NFTs
Tokens & equity
