Proposal overview

AVE METAVERSE is a virtual world of AVE team where users can explore Metaverse, play mini-games and collect or trade tokens.

We’ve made a collection of unique avatars that are optimized for the Unreal Engine as 3D models/skins. With them users can start their journey in Metaverse.

The first avatars NFT collection (39 copies from 0.2 ETH for each) is already sold out. Now we’re working on the next collection.

AVE ROOM

As an avatar NFT owner you can access your private room (AVE ROOM) where you can customize the interior, create your own NFT gallery and play mini games. There a butler will be your guide and various minions will create a sense of comfort. You can also connect your friends to AVE ROOM and demonstrate your NFT collection.

AVE ROOM is divided into three areas:

THE MAIN HALL serves as a gallery where a user can place his NFTs. There are interior objects in this area that can be customized individually or by using presets. For example, in the center of the main hall there is a big picture window and the user can change the background. Wall color, lighting, furniture, plants are customizable, which makes each room unique.

We plan to create more unique interiors in collaboration with other artists, such as Pokras Lampas and others in future.

ARMORY is an area where obtained avatars, as well as weapons and accessories from AVE collections, are stored. The user will also be able to customize avatars here later.

GAME ZONE includes an arcade with the NFT game of our partners and the user will be able to play it with another player. The first arcade “Noft Games” will be available with AVE ROOM launch.

The interior in this area depends on the design of the arcade. AVE ROOMs owners can change the arcade to any of the available ones. After choosing another arcade the zone design will change too.

Winning a mini game gives you a collectible item (NFT) that gives you special advantages in further games. You can sell obtained collectible tokens in the in-game store or buy new ones.

We plan to make our own card game and also provide royalty for mini games developers in future phases.

BUTLER & MINIONS

The butler helps you to customize the room. The appearance of the butler can also be changed by purchasing new skins in the in-game store.

You can buy NFT minions in the in-game store as well and they’ll walk around AVE ROOM just like pets.

MORE LEVELS OF AVE METAVERSE

We plan to expand Metaverse by integrating it with another developer and create two more levels:

AVE GALLERY is a large interactive space, where a user can be personally involved and interact with art by the world’s artists and AVE team. It’s a mix of night life, exhibitions, theater, and music shows.

AVE EXPERIENCE is a mini game based on specially designed levels for individual walkthrough and immersion in the AVE team’s art. We want to take art paintings to a new level: from images or videos demonstration to real worlds with a player engagement.

Team

The project is founded by AVE team NFT artists, Senshi Repin (@ave.repin) and Di Mel (@melnukoff). Two developers, two 3D artists and a web designer are also working on this project. We’re also looking for blockchain developers.

AVE is a special visual culture. Art is our weapon, a way to communicate and share our values.

We’re not obsessed with only one genre or discipline, no matter if it’s photos, videos or 3D. Every artist in our squad is a content machine with a unique personality, style and vision.

What I saw while looking through your materials is very cool! I hope everything works out for you. Ordinary NFTs are already boring, but you definitely have a new level! I would like to be able to earn real money while in your metaverse, this is definitely a new future for the gaming industry!
It’s good that you already have your own fairly large audience on social networks, as well as connoisseurs of your work who have already bought NFT avatars. I am glad that you have chosen the Harmony blockchain to launch. Good luck with your project!

Thank you for submitting a detailed proposal. Artwork looks great and I personally would love to see the main focus being on Harmony and launching a testnet version whenever you are ready.

That being said, This proposal fits best to the Launch grant based on the guidelines at Apply for Grants or DAO

Applications of each launch must have prototyped a feature-full product. Harmony helps incubate these founding teams with product development, fundraising, and talent recruit.
We recommend a $50K equity-free contribution each:

$10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet,
$10K after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs,
$10K after launching on our mainnet with audit,
$10K after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion),
$10K after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process).

Moreover, we recommend a 5-out-9 multisig account on Gnosis Safe with 3 governors from the project team, 3 governors from the project community, and 3 governors from Harmony DAOs – namely, ONEcommunityDAO, ONEdeveloperDAO, ONEincubatorDAO.

In all cases, we ask for 3-month exclusive campaigns with Harmony before more porting with other chains. We also offer follow-on investments – see 50 Investments ($20M) above; but, at the moment, you must have an outside, lead investor for us to match the funding terms. All codes, development materials and production assets must be fully open, preferrably with MIT or BSD licences; weekly updates must on sent on forum; and, all server deploys or mobile apps must be easily clonable.

Can we agree to the above terms?

Hi there,

Following up on the above to see if you had a chance to review the terms. Please let us know, otherwise we will archive the application for non-response.

Thank you for choosing to build on Harmony.

Hello! Thank you! Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, we’re agree to all terms except one: 10k daily active users. The thing is that we’ve made a research and realized that such numbers are just beyond reach. Maybe it’s actual for projects with a much higher budget. How can we reconsider it?

10

Hello AVE,
It is a milestone you can reach if the project team aims to build a good quality project that will make a positive impact. Otherwise, the NFT collection launch itself can provide you the necessary funds to fund this project itself, without the need for Harmony to fund it further.

Please let us know. Looking forward to it.

11

Well then, we’re agree to all terms :slight_smile: Thanks again!

We’re working on it right now and optimizing it for web.

14

Great. Do you have an estimate of by when you think the prototype might be ready?

15

It takes 2 or 2 and a half months, so it should be ready in April.

16

Thank you. Sounds like it is not ready at the moment for a launch grant in that case. Please resubmit your application when the prototype is ready and we will be happy to move forward.

Unfortunately, your proposal is not ready for a Launch grant based on the guidelines at Apply for Grants or DAO due to the following reasons:

Applications of each launch must have prototyped a feature-full product.

We hope you continue to build on this concept and circle back when it is ready to be discussed further. Thank you for choosing Harmony.

Hi Ave - I’ve checked in on your Twitter roadmap and am curious if you have any more detail on a prototype for your q3 P2E game.
