Phase 1 includes the pre-launch phase, set in Hatta, during which users can explore the launch room and learn more about space exploration and the journey to come. Phases 2 and 3 continue the Everdome journey, from mission launch and life aboard the vessel, through to landing and settling on Mars.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Choosing Dubai, one of the world's most iconic tourist destinations, as the launch site is part of Everdome's ambition to drive mass metaverse adoption by creating a game that is accessible and understandable. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rob Gryn, CEO and Founder of Everdome and Metahero, said: \"Our goal is to introduce the metaverse to the public in a way that it can be understood by everyone. We're making considered decisions to open the metaverse gateway as wide as possible, removing as many accessibility limitations as we can. One way we're doing this is by setting the launch phase in Dubai's Hatta region. As a global landmark for tourism, innovation, and space exploration, Dubai was a natural choice for Everdome's Phase 1.\"<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to creating a super-immersive - and free to play - world for users, Everdome is creating highly effective yet accessible avenues for metaverse advertising. Phase 1 provides a solid introductory platform for brands and companies looking to expand their consumer engagement into the metaverse realm, via the Everdome launch room. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \"Advertising in the metaverse provides the opportunity for an even deeper level of connection with current and potential consumers,\" added Gryn. \"This is the next frontier of customer engagement, and there's no time like the present to start branching out into the metaverse.\" <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Built on Unreal Engine 5, Everdome will deliver a slick real-world-extended experience - pulling on the talents and vision of renowned concept artists, game creators, 3D designers, Hollywood VFX specialists, urban planning professionals, a development team that has been delivering graphics and effects for more than a decade, and a marketing team that has already found bounds of success in numerous industries.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n About Everdome<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Everdome aims to create the most hyper-realistic metaverse that will bring brands and people together - all with the intent of building the most realistic web3 experience.

As the first project to create a living NFT on the blockchain, players can breed, care for, and train their Kryptomons, NFT creatures with unique characteristics and abilities. Kryptomon\u2019s official launch arrives on the heels of two successful initial NFT egg sales on Binance NFT<\/u><\/a>, the NFT marketplace of the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange. The debut sale in November 2021 resulted in 2,000 NFT eggs selling out in under 1 second and generating $180,000 in sales, one of the fastest sales in Binance NFT\u2019s history. A second egg sale launched on February 8, 2022, generated $237,500 in sales again under 1 second for 2,500 NFT eggs sold, setting another benchmark for Kryptomon.\u00a0<\/p>\n \"We are happy and proud to have such a strong community of token holders and NFT players that amazed us again in our last sale on Binance NFT that ended in just 0.16 seconds, even faster than the previous one that ended in 0.27 seconds, even though we have sold this time more NFTs in less-optimal market conditions. Our community is really one of the things that make Kryptomon such an amazing and fun project\", said Tomer Warschaier Nuni, CMO of Kryptomon.<\/p>\n Kryptomon merges the core design concepts behind Tamagotchi and Pok\u00e9mon, reimagining them for the modern era of blockchain gaming, and bringing players an entire gaming Metaverse they can own a part of. Kryptomons are collectible virtual monsters, living NFTs with features defined by a unique 38-random parameter digital genetic code. The platform conducts monthly augmented reality treasure hunts during every full moon, sending players, armed with their smartphones and crypto wallets, on a real-world quest for loot boxes with consumables and NFT Kryptomon eggs. As part of the Stage 1 release campaign, players receive daily loot boxes with valuable consumables, including food, bandages, and training cards for their Kryptomon. The more Kryptomons users collect, the more loot boxes they receive daily. Players use the consumables to feed and train their Kryptomon, forging stronger bonds with their living digital companions. This will benefit players in Stage 2, with the release of a full-fledged combat system. If trainers neglect their Kryptomon, the creatures will freeze, with players having to pay a fee to unfreeze and continue using them. Starting on the 15th of February, players will be able to breed their Kryptomon NFTs and begin selling the new NFT eggs they generate on any of the 7 NFT marketplaces that have partnered with Kryptomon, including Kryptomon\u2019s official KMarket marketplace<\/a>. On the same date, Kryptomon will release its \u201cPlay to Earn\u201d (P2E) mechanics to the game, making it possible for players to start earning money in the form of $KMON tokens and NFTs as they enjoy the game. Kryptomon\u2019s marketplace enables Kryptomon NFT trading, purchases, and $KMON token staking to participate in NFT lotteries and generation of \u201ccandies,\u201d which are used as in-game currency to purchase loot-boxes and items.<\/p>\n Incorporating the first-of-its-kind blockchain \u201cWalk to Earn\u201d model for users to earn NFTs, $KMON tokens, in-game items, and new features, Kryptomon integrates real-world gameplay and Metaverse capabilities to create an immersive community experience through monthly treasure hunts. Alongside the treasure hunt, Kryptomon expands its lore, releasing the first issue of its comic book series titled Eva\u2019s Journey<\/i><\/u><\/a>. Each month, new issues will reveal more about the game\u2019s backstory and characters while giving readers helpful gameplay tips.
