Project Goal
Tronjoy wants to introduce the Free-to-Own concept in Tron network.
Free-to-Own is the combination of Free-to-Play, which was the main innovation in web2 gaming, and NFT ownership.
Simply put, we will allow users who are currently supporting other Tron projects to claim one of our NFTs for free.
We won’t sell a single NFT, all of them will be given away.
These NFTs can be used to play and compete with others in an increasing number of skill games to win crypto rewards – such as TRX, stablecoins and other NFTs that will have utility inside Tronjoy ecosystem –.
Involving other Tron communities
We believe that web3 should open the doors to a more cooperative environment, looking for synergies that could be beneficial for both parties involved.
That’s why we welcome any Tron project to get in touch with us for a potential deal.
We will create personalized traits in our NFT collections for these projects. In addition, the holders of these projects will be whitelisted so they can mint one of our NFTs for free.
In return, we only ask that this agreement should be shared with their community, so users are aware of it in case anyone is willing to claim their NFT.
Project Details
In TronJoy we have 3 different types of NFTs: arcade machines, game cartridges and heroes.
All of them will be given away for free, in different ways:
Arcade machines
Our first collection is inspired by the arcade machines of the 80s, and it will consist of a total of 10,000 NFTs.
Users will be able to claim their free arcade machine NFT in 2 ways:
-
By being a holder of any of the projects we partner with (details will be announced in due time)
-
By helping us to create awareness around the project completing some simple marketing tasks
As an arcade machine holder, users will be able to play in numerous skill games and win cartridges by completing different challenges.
Game cartridges
Our second NFT collection is inspired by the game cartridges of the 80s and 90s consoles, such as NES, GameBoy and MegaDrive.
The only way to win one – or more – game cartridge is by holding an arcade machine NFT, and playing the skill games that we will be adding to our platform.
Game cartridges will be divided in 4 types or rarities: platinum, gold, silver and bronze.
By combining an arcade machine and a game cartridge, users will be able to mint a free Hero.
Heroes
This is where the real fun begins!
Users can mint a Hero NFT by combining an arcade machine and a game cartridge.
The type of the Hero minted will depend on the traits of the arcade machine and the rarity of the cartridges that are being combined.
The cartridge used during the process will be burned. Not the arcade machine, that will allow you to create more than a hero.
Hero NFTs will give you access to tournaments to compete against other people in an increasing number of skill games and earn rewards in TRX and stablecoins.
The rarity of the Heroes will determine how many times the users can play a game in each tournament to save the highest score.
Project Milestones
THE PRESENT
This includes all staff that we are working on at the moment, or that will come shortly.
Partners within Tron ecosystem: In Progress
We welcome any Tron project owner and/or developer to get in touch with us and discuss the details of the free mint for their community members.
Arcade Machine NFT minting: In Progress
The smart contract has been tested in shasta and is ready. We have several designs created for the arcade machines, once we close some deals more to create personalized traits for other projects, the minting will start.
Introducing the first games: In Progress
The first 3 games are already available in our website. We are connecting them to blockchain and the moment and developing the smart contracts that will allow users to save their scores in a safe manner.
Single player mode and game cartridges NFT rewards: In Progress
The design of the NFTs is ready. Once we have the arcade machines minted this will be implemented almost immediately.
NFT marketplace: Coming soon
We will more likely use partially the code from a project we already partnered with, so this should be pretty fast.
Heroes minting platform: Development starts soon
This will allow users to combine their arcade machines and cartridges to create a Hero NFT. We already did some research on the best ways to perform this part, and development will start shortly.
Game tournaments to win TRX and stablecoins: Coming soon
Once the heroes minting platform is ready, the first tournaments will be implemented. We are planning to have at least a tournament weekly, with new games being introduced regularly.
THE FUTURE
Once we are achieved every goal from THE PRESENT, we will work on some improvements and new developments. There is no date for these developments yet:
New gaming modes
-
Duel: You can play a game against other user(s) and bet your TRX. The winner takes it all!
-
Highest score: We will record the highest scores for all each game. Each time someone plays this mode and tries to beat the top score, the user with that highest score will be rewarded.
Tronjoy token launch
This is something that we are considering, but will only happen after we have added plenty of new games, run several successful tournaments, created the different gaming modes that we have in mind, and most importantly: have a decent number of users and players.
Multiplayer games
Once we have enough players, we are planning to add multiplayer games. We have been working on some ideas in this sense that we are very excited about and willing to start developing them.
