Can you tell us about your company/project?

Heroes of NFT is a metaverse where players can create their own Metasphere, roam the universe, interact, and trade Avalanche NFTs with other users while enjoying the play-to-earn games in our battle arenas. Our entire project is named after our first game, Heroes of NFT for the time being. In the future, we plan to use a different brand for the overall project so that we can offer additional games to our users. Also we will provide infrastructure to use our game economy to launch their own game. Heroes of NFT is a turn-based collectible trading card game where you need to devise a strategy rather than rely on pure chance or the strength of your heroes. You will battle with your heroes against your opponents to complete missions and reach victory. Players can compete in arena battles or enter tournaments to show off their talents while using distinctive hero cards
Can you tell us about the team behind this?
Memur Halil Shayad -
Hello, I'm Halil. I am a graduate of Electrical and Electronics Eng. I also did my MBA at the same school. I have systems engineering and many years of management experience. I am an early investor of Avalanche. I have validators. I've been in crypto since 2016. Now we wanted to do our own project in crypto, which we love and turn it into a lifestyle. I have been developing the Heroes of NFT project with my teammates since April 2021. I am the CEO of the project. Two of cofounders are graduate of computer engineer and one of them has master degree in the same department. His master thesis is about AR and VR technologies. Our last cofounder has financial background with strong skills in financial analysis. We graduated from the same university and know each other for a long time and living in the same city.
What is it that your project is trying to simplify/solve in this space & how??
Memur Halil Shayad -
Our aim is to solve the problems that we faced in GAMEFIs. - we are solving the entry barrier limitations for the new games. - creating a game ecosystem that is linked to the overall metaverse. - play2earn mechanism that people who wants an extra income can benefit from - having an economic model that can be used as a passive income strategy by staking
What has been the biggest challenge for you so far & how have you overcome it?
Memur Halil Shayad -
For the marketing and awareness we had some problems but we are able to overcome with the avalanche community and our community support.
Could you please help us understand your token a little better & how do you plan on controlling excess dumping for $HON, if any?
Memur Halil Shayad -
The HON Token serves as a governance token. We'll distribute majority of HON supply via gaming, yield farming, and NFT with HON token staking in addition to our sales rounds. Staking NFT with HON token is for our small investors who do not want to lose money in any impermanent loss. HON tokens will be staked together with NFTs to earn more HON tokens. Additional utility will occur by the creation of new NFTs. For example, players will stake their NFT character cards and will need to utilize HON tokens to construct new NFTs such as items, weapons, and power-ups as erc1155 NFTs with a drop rate according to the rarity of staked NFTs. Holding HON token also grants players entrance to special competitions and tournaments with extra yields. These yields are not limited to HRM rewards but also items, collectibles, and power-ups. Another benefit of the HON token is that it will be used in the marketplace by our users. Our Metasphere (land) sales will also be conducted in HON Token. Because the HON token serves as our governance token, it is designed to make sure that HON holders are satisfied with the overall mechanics and economics.
From what we understand, HeroesOfNFT is an online card game to attend tournaments & defeat your opponents to rise to victory. Could you please emphasize more on the cards being used for playing? Is it something you create or the users will have to create? And, does HeroesOfNFT hold a tournament, or is it something that any organisation can organize?
Memur Halil Shayad -
The NFT assets are the core component of the gameplay. The players will be challenged by the game and by each other with the hero (HRO) cards. Other NFT assets which will be generated by players in the game and sold in the marketplace will enrich the gameplay thus making it more enjoyable. While NFT assets are player-ownable, they’re also tradable on the marketplace. Moreover, by staking NFT Cards together with your Hon tokens, you can have passive income. Also, As an organizer, you are going to have the privilege to create your own rules for your tournament. For example, it's up to you to set up the entrance fee and adjust tournament prices. Only the landowners organize tournaments with their desired rewards
We must say that bringing the story of heroes prior to fighting is very unique and HeroesOfNFT has nailed it. Could you please let our readers know more about the statement;'unique story structure that allows you to enter a metaverse in the year 2073'. Basically, what is the story being referred to here for heroes?
Memur Halil Shayad -
2073 specifically because one of the developers of the game is a huge fan of Douglas Adams's 1979 novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and there Adams makes a pun about how 42 the answer to the ultimate question of life, universe and everything. Well, if we disregard the 0 in 2073 2x7x3 is 42 so we hid a little reference there. But at the same time you can add the zero and the final answer will be zero, so maybe reality is nothing
I understand HeroesOfNFT is a cross-chain platform. Could you please help us understand what all networks are you specifically targeting?
Memur Halil Shayad -
Heroes of NFT is a subnet ready project. Avalanche is combination of many chains such as p chain, x chain and c-chain. These chains are called as subnets. Our token is xchain and cchain compatible. The only project token that can have this highest technical level on avalanche is Hon token. Also there will be Heroes of NFT subnet in the future.
Would you please emphasize more on Economics mentioned on your website? I see there are three separate modules NFTCard, HON Tokens & HRM Tokens.
Memur Halil Shayad -
We have three categories of users which are namely Farmers, workers, and gamers. Farmers are the investors in yield farm protocol and farming is a way to generate rewards in the form of additional HON tokens. While providing funds for the game economy, they will also be shareholders of Heroes of NFT ecosystem. They will be able to benefit from the generated income. Farmers are expected to be from the early adopters, especially those coming from a private sale. They will provide HON tokens to the ecosystem. Gamers are expected to be mostly younger users, especially from developing countries. They will be online on the game to earn more HRM Tokens. But they will also be the ones who spend AVAX to buy NFTs and spend HON in the marketplace for Hero NFTs, skins, lands, Hero Superpowers (HSP), Hero Items (HIT) and spend HRM for in-game items. Workers will be the ones who do not play the games as much as gamers but want to have an income from the game. They will spend AVAX to buy Hero character NFTs to stake together with HON Token to generate HSP NFTs and HIT NFTs for the gamers. Generation of HSP NFTs and HIT NFTs will require either burning of HRM or spending some percentage of HON Token that was staked as a fee. Workers naturally will be HON holders as they need to stake HON.
Where do you see the project in the next 5 years?
Memur Halil Shayad -
Our future plans include renewing the arena design and creating 3D versions of the characters in order to make the experience more realistic and effective while playing the game. In addition, we plan to integrate in-game voice chat and emoji chats to increase interaction between players. In the process of moving our project to the metaverse, we have plans to launch our metaverse lobby screen, sell land, start using avatars, and launch AR/VR applications. As an end goal, you will be able to create your own Metasphere, roam the universe, interact, and trade Avalanche NFTs with other users while enjoying the play-to-earn games in our battle arenas. You will start by designing your own Avatar, create your own NFT stand where you can display and list all your NFTs from Avalanche projects for sale. Then you will let your Avatar roam the universe, visit your neighbors, mingle with other Avatars, and explore their NFT stands. You will be able to make a bid on their NFTs or make swap offers.
