Hyperium DAO : Play2Earn, MMORPG, Metaverse, Fantasy DeFi
Proposal overview
Hyperium is a multi-faceted Play-to-Earn MMORPG game and metaverse launching on the great, fast, and inexpensive Harmony ONE network.
Soon, Hyperians will be able to battle one another in a TCG-style play-to-earn game, and create colonies on different worlds throughout our solar system.
Hyperians will be able to mint, own, and trade Character NFTs (for the battles), and Worlds NFTs for land plots on various worlds throughout our solar system.
Hyperians holding Hyperium NFTs will be able to participate in HyperiumDAO governance.
In the future, the HYPER token will be implemented in the Hyperium Battles and Metaverse, and will be the main token used for trade and governance, in addition to the NFTs.
Holders of Hyperium NFTs will be airdropped the HYPER token. Initially, the only way to acquire the HYPER token is to hold Hyperium NFTs.
The second method of acquiring the HYPER token will be playing in the Battles arenas.
Our team have been working for many months to cultivate one of the finest P2E experiences in the blockchain space.
This is the beginning of something special!
What stage of the product or idea are you (and your team) at? Is it live on Harmony and/or another chain?
We are working on our Beta version. We would like to partner with more blockchain and game developers to bring the best possible P2E and metaverse design custom-fitted to the Harmony ONE mainnet, and we are hoping Harmony ONE team can help us with this aspect.

Thank you for submitting a proposal to Harmony’s $300M Ecosystem Fund. Allow me to be your representative on behalf of the Grants committee. We are in the process of reviewing your proposal.
If you have more details to add, please do so by replying to this thread. We would also love to have the Harmony community participate to ask questions and provide feedbacks.
Do you currently have a testnet version built for the game?
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.

Hi, I’m with Harmony core team working on Metaverse. Saw your Launch grant application, and was checking in on how progress to prototype was coming, would be excited for you to launch on testnet! Please PM me and let me know timeline and how I can help.
Also to mention, I don’t work for the grant committee anymore and have stopped since around mid-April. The current grant committee is evaluating grants and funding related.
