Valley Report - 7.16.24
The Great Blast Migration
It's been just over 7 weeks since Wolf Game started its migration to Blast, and a lot has happened in a short timeframe. Here's everything you need to know, how to get started, and what to expect over the coming months.
A Quick Review
The overall health of our ecosystem has made great strides in these last 8 weeks. Here's just a few:
- Successfully onboarded over 8,200 wallets currently playing Cave Game, up from 600 wallets how participated in Valley Season 1.
- These new wallets have recently started adding WG assets to their wallets as well, particularly gen 2 animals.
- Since Cave Game launched in late May, we've burned 180 million wool, and currently are burning about 2M wool per day.
- Wolf Game secured one of the top distributions for Gold during this first phase of Blast season 2 at 532k gold.
- The WG team has proven a successful revenue model from selling golden boxes to Cave Game players for ETH, which they are using to fund operations and giving back to the community in the regular "Cash Grab" Jackpot. lmao.
- Mobile app launched for improved Cave Game experience. This is a real win as it's a top priority for our community Gold allocation from the Blast team.
Current Cracked Caves - What you can win
Caves are currently open for any players with WG assets and/or soul bound Blast Sheep. In cracked caves, you will earn Wool, cash points, and gold points. Cash points are used to determine the Cash Grab leaderboard, which is typically distributed players along with the Gold Distribution which you earn with gold points. The first gold distribution for Blast season 2 is due by Aug 1st. Here's a brief preview of my performance so far in caves this month:
- Wool Found - 392,000 (about 230 wool per day per gen 2 sheep)
- Cash Grab - $600 current value, will likely finish near this number by end of month
- Gold - I'm estimating 400-500 gold found this month, a current value of $400 based on Blast price
Important reminders - 1) Wool found in caves can be claimed in pouches, which vest over 4 years. 2) Blast Season 2 will last into 2025 as well, meaning rewards are not available for unlock for another year or so.
Bridge Your Animals & Wool
To get started playing cave game, first you need to claim your free soul bound Blast Sheep at https://claim.wolf.game/. You can bridge all your current wool, animals, and pouches currently at https://bridge.wolf.game/. Once bridged, head over to https://cave.wolf.game/ to start earning your wool, gold, and usdb. You can play cave game in two different modes: Caves and Quests. WARNING: BOTH GAME MODES ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. Caves are more of a grind it out 1 animal at a time, while quests provide larger players a way to save time while stacking rewards.
What's Coming Next
Now that Caves are up and running smoothly. The team is working towards creating utility for other assets like land and farmers and positioning Valley for a relaunch on Blast. It's unclear when this re-launch will happen, but I expect it to rollout gradually over the coming weeks/months. For example, we may see the team introduce new utility for assets like land and farmers on top of Cave Game, then later on see breeding and stealing launch. There are many paths forward here, and the team is working on a solution to optimize onboarding as well as bringing back our Glorious Valley that many OG players miss so much. One thing is very clear, there will be many many ways to earn Gold as the game rolls out over the coming months. The team has many big things planned for Wolf Game season 2, including hints of Wool staking, alliances, and many other aspects of Alpha Game from the past coming to the Valley.
The future is bright for Wolf Game. The team successfully navigated the last 8 weeks and have positioned us for massive success over the coming year. Migrations like this are never easy and won't go perfectly, but the team has shown its ability to adapt quickly and keep many players engaged.
Happy Farming Everyone,
