## Name of Project / DAO / Company

Duelist King

## Application type

Partnership

## Proposal overview

### Description

Powered by in-house Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Oracle and Random Number Generator, Duelist King is the first generational NFT card game that aims to transform the way people play, participate and earn in card games through top-notch game play, asset designs and advocacy for the sustainable future of Win2Earn.

As the first NFT game powered by PancakeSwap IFO with 640 million USD committed, Duelist King is built on BSC and supported by Fantom, Polygon and Cronos (powered by [crypto.com](http://crypto.com)) to provide a cross-chain supporting platform for NFTs and later Duelist King tokens.

### Goals

We aim to democratize the card game industry by leveraging the power of blockchain and unleashing more values to the stakeholders of the game. Fairness is the core narrative of the game powered by:

- In-house card distribution infrastructure with self-developed commit scheme and oracle that allows verifiable and randomized distribution on blockchain
- Unique gameplay of using cards and rolling dice to offer luck-based excitement in the game
- The DAO governing model is to be implemented in 2023 tentatively to engage stakeholders of the game i.e gamers, designers, creators, investors to participate in decision making of the game play and design

### Development stage

The closed alpha version is to be released on March 3rd followed by public alpha in April 2022. The NFTs are now deployed on Fantom and Polygon and we are planning to integrate with Harmony.

Currently 23,000 registrants have applied to try the closed alpha version. We are aiming to gather 50,000 registrants for the public alpha version.

### Upcoming milestones

- June 2022: Player vs. Environment beta version
- December 2022: Player vs. Player alpha version
- 2023: the DAO and multiplay feature/e-sports tournament

This looks like an amazing game. Game mechanics are meant for shorter attention span for duels and the depth is not the emphasis here (though the roadmap and upcoming ideas may surprise us). Setting a Testnet and Mainnet milestone (see below)

Approved for $20K **Launch** grant. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing this built out with the first milestone for a Testnet Launch built on Harmony 🎉

> “Testnet Launch” means launching a feature-complete product on [Harmony Testnet](https://docs.harmony.one/home/network/wallets/browser-extensions-wallets/metamask-wallet#2-filling-the-endpoint-information). We define feature complete to include a user interface, connection to a wallet (Metamask, Harmony ONE Chrome Extension, etc.) on Testnet, and can be tested end-to-end by at least 100 users.

Funds will be released upon completing these milestones

> $10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet  
> $10K after launching on our mainnet with audit (with launch video, full PR promotion)

> Meanwhile, to prepare receiving funds, email your identification documents to [kyc@harmony.one](mailto:kyc@harmony.one) and create a Gnosis Safe MultiSig wallet at [https://multisig.harmony.one](https://multisig.harmony.one/) and using instructions below
