Final week’s visitor was a mission that reproduces the DeFi mannequin with NFT and permits staking many Cardano NFT collections to earn HEXO tokens.
This initiative is a degree of reference for NFTs on Cardano and each week or two we’ll invite somebody to reply some questions and provides us an replace immediately from inside the Cardano neighborhood.
Contemplating that lots of our readers are new to the crypto area, we can have a combine of straightforward and technical questions.
Cardano NFT mission: Phoenix Enviornment
Cardano NFT mission Phoenix Enviornment has 3 collections: Max, Diver and Fluffy
Hey, glad to have you ever right here. Please introduce your group, the place are you from, what are your backgrounds?
My identify is Oliver and I’m one of many founders of Phoenix Enviornment NFT.
I’m primarily based in Glasgow, Scotland. I graduated from regulation faculty however discovered no real interest in it. Since then I’ve labored in administration, gross sales and engineering.
I’ve been concerned with cryptocurrencies and ADA since early 2019. All the talents from my previous work experiences have been helpful in the case of Phoenix Enviornment.
What’s Phoenix Enviornment and why have you ever chosen the Cardano blockchain to your mission?
Phoenix Enviornment is a Cardano NFT mission growing a P2E RPG-style autobattler recreation. The core gameplay revolves round gamers selecting their squad for battle from the character NFTs they personal, deciding on their objects, expertise, and assault sequences, and battling in opposition to different gamers.
The meta gameplay revolves round buying and growing expertise and equipment, and growing new hero/squad builds to climb up the leaderboard. Phoenix Enviornment has offered 3 NFT units: Max, Diver, and only in the near past the set referred to as Fluffy.

The NFTs passively reward customers with the mission in-game foreign money WARI and different belongings. The NFTs will even present house owners with an in-game id and objects for his or her stock.
We’re drawn to Cardano for its scientific and engineering rigor to ship a decentralized, safe and scalable blockchain. We consider Cardano can have a deeply optimistic impression on how humanity organizes itself. We hope to be part of the evolution of this wonderful platform by means of our modest contribution.
How would you clarify the potential of NFTs in gaming to probably the most skeptic avid gamers who suppose NFTs and P2E/P&E (Play to Earn/Play & Earn) are basically the identical as P2W (Pay to Win) mechanics?
As a gamer one of many issues that frustrates me probably the most is you can grind for a full 12 months e.g FIFA23 construct up your squad after which you must begin from 0 once more when the following recreation version is launched. There is no such thing as a ROI aside from the leisure.
Not solely are NFTs most actually the way forward for gaming however they are going to permit tens of millions of gamers to work together with and compete with on-line avid gamers whereas incomes tokens inside a digital world.
Now you can earn whereas taking part in and personal, accumulate, and even promote your in-game objects. P2E may even be a boon to your price range once you play as a aspect hustle.

You’re collaborating with a number of different NFT initiatives together with Cardania and Cardano Lands, are you able to inform us extra about this? Why are these cross-projects collabs necessary? Is cooperation higher than competitors?
Phoenix Enviornment has a collaboration format the place their NFT characters have objects which have been created within the spirit of the mission they’re collaborating with. The earlier Diver NFT had a collaboration with Cardania the place Diver has a set of Cardania-themed objects and Cardania-themed Divers additionally obtain Cardania RADTokens as passive rewards. The most recent Fluffy NFT drop has themed objects in collaboration with Cardania, Melting Moonboys, and Derp Birds.
The token partnerships create a bridge between the totally different initiatives and is one thing distinctive within the CNFT area. With 1 NFT you’ll be able to earn as much as 6 totally different tokens, introducing you to probably 6 totally different communities.
I’m a agency believer that it’s wiser to work collectively fairly than in opposition to one another. For example if a mission needs to construct a market and the preliminary funding is 50K would it not not make extra sense for five initiatives to all make investments 10k every to construct software program that may very well be utilized by all 5?
Thanks kindly to your time. Any closing ideas? The place can individuals be taught extra about Phoenix Enviornment?
We’re constructing a P2E recreation that’s interesting to each the informal and the aggressive hardcore avid gamers alike. PA collaboration system has the potential to deliver the entire area collectively and battle within the Phoenix Enviornment. We’re not solely constructing a recreation, we’re constructing a model.
You’ll be able to be taught extra by way of our Twitter.
