Greetings Pilots,
Consider us blown away by these first couple of weeks in our Solarbots community.
We knew we had put together an incredible team with the backing of a set of advisors that constitutes a veritable "who's who" of the metaverse scene, but nothing could have prepared us for welcoming 3,000 people in the first 24 hours.
Thank you for being here with us as we lay the foundation of the Solarbots metaverse.
As we get ready for the upcoming Solarbots mint event, we feel it's important to communicate our vision so that you know why we're building this world. The whitelist mint will take place on December 20th and 21st with the public mint happening on Dec 22nd.
With the rise of Axie Infinity came a whole slew of new Play-to-Earn games eager to replicate this business model and capitalize on the hot trend of the moment by riding the fomo of the naive. These low-effort replicas larping as "metaverses" are transparent in their profit-seeking nature, but their proliferation hints at something real, something we also see.
It shows that people intuitively recognise the potential of games that reward players with a share of the value that they help generate through their presence and contributions.
But while we recognize and admire what other projects have done well, we're not here to copy and paste revenue models into yet another soulless iteration of a cash-grabbing "GameCorp."
We're here because we love both games and blockchain technology.
We care deeply about storytelling and gaming and our absolute top priority is to create a game that we want to be a part of and play, to build a world with a vivid and deep lore, a rich history, and a future that is both exciting and uncertain.
We want players to spend time in our metaverse because it's fun, in addition to also being a blockchain-enabled land of opportunities and an outlet for their creativity.
Isn't that what the metaverse is supposed to be?
This Play-and-Earn vision hinges on our ability to deliver a meaningful experience through a compelling story that accurately reflects not just the human condition, but also our world: a metaverse wrapped around a storyverse.
We’re bootstrapping an economy, a culture, a shared philosophy, our own nation of like minded people from all walks of life who come together in the Solarbots metaverse to explore the meaning of life.
With Solarbots we are both building our dream and living it.
And the great thing about dreams is that they're not scarce. They can't be locked away in a wallet, staked in a protocol, or farmed for yield. Anyone can have a dream, and they can share the same one too.
So if you're looking for a quick flip for a quick buck, good luck. There are plenty of projects out there for you.
But if you share our dream and want to help us build the Play-and-Earn metaverse that delivers that dream, then welcome.
