Moon Robots Harmony Grant Application
Application type
Product Launch
Proposal overview
Moon Robots is a cross-chain economy strategy P2E game with RPG elements launching on Harmony One blockchain. The first NFT minting (10k of Robo Eggs) is scheduled for 25 April 2022. The project’s lore and elements of strategy go beyond “stake to earn” or “hold to earn” mechanics that can be seen in other P2E games. The full set of the game features will go live one month after initial minting.
The game
The NFT Robots are heroes that players will be able to collect, breed and trade. Robots will be hatched from minted Robo Eggs, and players will be able to increase chances of getting rare Robots by upgrading Eggs by spending $OIL. After hatching, Robots will be able to participate in several quests that will bring $OIL and NFT items as rewards. The quests will be of various types like: harvesting, scavenging or breeding. $OIL spent on upgrades or other in-game activities will be partially burned, partially distributed among LP stakers.
The Lands
Parallel to game start (a couple weeks from Eggs minting), players will be able to purchase NFT Moon Lands. Land owners will be able to earn passive income from their Lands which will depend on their share in the Land Rewards pool. To keep or increase their share, Land owners will have to upgrade their Land which requires NFT items that Robots find during Quests. It encourages unpredictable and varied dynamic between Land and Robot owners, facilitated by ability to trade Lands, Robots and Items on NFT marketplaces.
The LP Mining
LP staking model will be one of the mechanics utilized for initial distribution of the token (Token Distribution Phase). 70% of Max Supply will be emitted during that phase (emissions shared between LP, Quest and Land rewards) totalling ~80% of remaining Max Supply being emitted 6 months after the Moon Landing event. LP staking will still be used after the emission ends to sustainably support token liquidity after all of $OIL tokens have been emitted (Post-Emission Phase). Game economy during that phase will require sustained demand for $OIL token and players spending $OIL to play. Spent $OIL will be partially burned, the rest is used to reward players and LP stakers.
The Tokens
To support all game mechanisms there will be 4 tokens: $OIL, $STARDUST, $ENERGY and $GOLD. First two tokens are tradable ones. $STARDUST and $OIL are already listed and can be swapped on FoxSwap. Listing on a CEX is planned, but will probably not be implemented for some time as the LP staking model might be able to provide sufficient liquidity while providing fairer token distribution.

Proposal Ask
The project has already raised $500,000 from the presale, which combined with upcoming minting events covers the required development budget for the launch. We are applying for the Harmony grant to establish close relationships with the Harmony team and to expand and strengthen our ties with the Harmony community.
Therefore, the team decided to limit our ask to $50,000 worth of $ONE which will be used to attract more users to Harmony ecosystem. As our project and development team grow, we will be working with Harmony more extensively towards increasing their involvement with the project.
Deliverables
- First tranche after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
- Second tranche after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multi-signature with our DAOs
- Third tranche after launching on our mainnet with audit
- Fourth tranche after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
- Fifth tranche after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)
