The Roadmap | Arcaden Whitepaper v2.0

Kickstarting Arcaden.com & G3M NFTs.

Our first attempt at gamification, with Arcaden.com as well as the V1 G3M NFT Campaign

💎 G3M NFTs

Our first NFT Collection, launched via Galxe.com.

✅ Salad Passport - Launching Salad Ventures’ official SBT

Before 2022 ended, we launched the Salad Passport campaign on Galxe. It is the official SBT (Soulbound Token) for Salad Ventures, using KYC (Know Your Customer) as the condition to mint via the ownership of the Galxe Passport. As of 25th Feb 2023, more than 25,000 NFTs have been minted. This is the first key requirement for our community and users to enter and explore the ever-evolving Salad X2Earn ecosystem.

✅ Genesis G3Ms - Introducing a Gamified Rewards System

In line with our Salad Passport launch, we soon introduced our G3M campaign via Galxe. The Campaign launched with the following: ✅ The Genesis G3Ms: Purple, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Rainbow. Split into several tiers, users can mint and collect these NFTs via completing a variety of tasks.

✅ Forging Materials - Season 1: 4 Types of Forging Materials were introduced. These NFTs were created solely for the purpose to forge the Genesis G3Ms to higher tiers.

✅ Artifacts Series - Season 1: 5 Artifacts were introduced to the G3Ms campaign. Each artifact had increasing rarity and contributed to more points to the leaderboard. Users will get higher rewards depending on the level of difficulty of the task.

As of 25th Feb 2023, over 930,000 NFTs from this collection have been minted.

✅ KYC-gated Forging System

While anyone can participate in the G3M Campaign and mint Purple G3Ms after completing a variety of tasks, forging them to G3Ms of higher rarity is only eligible to "real users". This KYC-gated feature requires users to own the Salad Passport to unlock it.

✅ All-Time Leaderboard

To kickstart our gamified rewards system, we will be launching an all-time leaderboard to rank collectors with a point-based system. Each G3M NFT is accorded a specific number of points and a user’s points will depend on the number and type of G3Ms they collected.

The All-Time Leaderboard will rank collectors according to the number of points they earn from their G3M NFTs. Higher-ranking users will win Limited Edition NFTs, and also get more entries to join a raffle to win additional rewards consisting of NFTs, Tokens or Both (at the discretion of Salad, on a month to month basis).

The leaderboard will collect on-chain data and all G3M collectors who hold a Salad Passport will be automatically qualified and added to the leaderboard. Payouts will be distributed at the end of the month to the top-ranking collectors and reset every month.

🕹 Arcaden.com

Our Play2Earn Hypercasual arcade.

✅ Wallet Connect

Legacy whitelist feature via deposit has been replaced by Wallet Connect. Users can now automatically connect a wallet to their Arcaden.com account by logging in and connecting a wallet.

Transition from v1.0 to v2.0

Preparing for G3Ms to merge with Arcaden.com , where it truly belongs.

✅ Pegging the Arcaden Credit to $SALD✅ Pegging the Arcaden Credit to $SALD

Prior to v2.0, each Arcaden Credit was pegged to $0.20USD. Moving forward, Each Credit will be pegged to 1 $SALD.

Users will still be allowed to use other currencies such as stables (USDC, USDT), or popular currencies such as $BNB or $ETH to top-up.

✅ Tickets will be replaced by Shards

A minor update to naming & visuals. In order to keep to the G3M & Moxie narative, Tickets earned from playing games will now be replaced by Shards.

✅ Upgrade to User Profile Page

🟢 User profile page has been merged with the legacy "Owned Prizes" page and now displays all Collectibles owned by the user, as well as Collectibles that have not been collected.

🟡 User profile page now displays the History of user's Credits, Shards as well as Collectibles.

✅ Referral System Adjustment

🟢 Referrals now give 50 Shards to both users, instead of 10 Credits.

🟡 Cap for number of referrals of each account has been increased from 50, to 1,000.

🟡 Shards per Game adjusted

Previously, Shards (tickets) earned per game was capped at 50 regardless of the game. Based off of our user feedback and our testing, we have adjusted the maximum number of tickets possible to be earned on a per game basis. Games that have a much higher average play time will have a higher cap on the number of Shards that can be earned by the user.

❌ Gacha Machine Removed

The legacy gacha machine and prizes will be removed and replaced with a temporary holding page as we work towards launching v2.0 Arcaden in phases.

The World of Arcaden Upgrade (Phase 1)

Fusing G3M NFTs, Moxies and Arcaden. And upgrading them all.

🟢 Arcaden Chests (New Gacha Machines)

The legacy gacha machine will be phased out and replaced with 3 new Arcaden Chests. Users will be able to earn Collectibles which will act as Whitelists for them to mint the prizes as NFTs (once the minting feature is released)

🟢 3 New Shard Chests added. Chests require 5, 50 and 500 Shards Respectively Per Pull. Each Chest contains increasing rarity of collectibles in its pool of prizes.

🟢 Chests have received a small UX upgrade where users are able to pull 11x at one go, at the cost of 10 pulls. (50, 500 and 5,000 Shards Respectively)

🟢 Update to Gacha Page UI, now displays most recent rewards claimed by any user and also the drop rate of each respective chest.

🟢 Video animation of Chest opening added, together with a skip button.

🟢 G3M Collectibles

G3M Collectibles will be introduced to Arcaden. In order to make full use of the ERC-1155 contract, users will be allowed to earn Collectibles and consolidate them before minting them in bulk in fewer transactions, saving on gas fees.

🟢 Daily Rewards

Salad Passport, Moxie/ SALDiamond and Club Salad Genesis Pass holders will be allowed to claim Shards once a day. This resets at GMT+8 (SGT) 00:00 daily.

🟢 Shard Merchant

Users can use their Shards to purchase specific collectibles instead of using them on Chests. The Shard Merchant will have a fixed selection of Collectibles available, and have seasonal offers & discounts off certain collectibles that refresh periodically.

🟡 Quests - Challenge Feature

Moxie / SALDiamond holders will be able to use this gated feature to challenge bosses daily in order to win exclusive rewards.

🟡 Burn Island - Recycling v1 G3Ms for Collectibles

Legacy G3M Holders (the original ERC-721 Collection launched on Galxe) will be allowed to burn their V1 G3Ms in exchange for Collectibles, which in turn will be used to mint V2 G3Ms (ERC-1155) in the future.

Every NFT Burnt will reward the user in Shards in order to give them a legacy users' benefit.

🟡 Use Arcaden Credits for Gas Fees

Arcaden will implement a relayer into its smart contracts, which will allow us to pay gas on behalf of the user in the native token of the chain used. This will allow us to integrate with multiple chains, and users will only be required to use Credits to pay for fees instead of having to own multiple crypto currencies.

The World of Arcaden Upgrade (Phase 2)

Fusing G3M NFTs, Moxies and Arcaden.

🟢 V2 G3M Contract

V2 G3M NFTs will be launched using the ERC-1155 token standard, on Base chain. This is a new contract that will be deployed by Arcaden to replace the old V1 G3Ms contract that is a ERC-721 Standard on BNB CHain.

🟡 Minting of V2 G3Ms from Collectibles

Users will now be able to mint V2 G3M NFTs from the Collectibles they have earned from Arcaden.com

🟢 Forging of V2 G3Ms

Users will now be able to start forging their V2 G3M NFTs, into rarer NFTs, on Arcaden.com

🟡 Introducing pCredits & fCredits

A distinction between Paid Credits (pCredits) and Free Credits (fCredits) will be introduced. fCredits will only be usable for playing games, whereas pCredits can be used for all purposes including paying for fees.

Rebates, certain rewards and promotions will be distributed to users as fCredits.

🟡 Arcaden League - Play2Win

An upgraded version of the Legacy G3M Leaderboard; Users get points for each V2 G3M NFT Collected and climb the leaderboard. Top scorers of the Leaderboard will be eligible for a seasonal prize pool that will be distributed in $SALD.

The base prize pool will be guaranteed by Arcaden, and 20% of all Credit deposits on Arcaden will be added to the prize pool.

🟡 Celestial Arena - Battle your Celestials

The Celestial Area will be introduced to allow your Celestial pet NFTs to battle it out. Every battle will occur between 2 pets, with the winning pet getting an additional point on the Arena Scoreboard, as well as Shards.

Losing pets will be burnt. The top performing pets of each season will be rewarded with the prize pool, in the form of $SALD.

The base prize pool will be guaranteed by Arcaden, and 20% of all battle fees (transactions for sending pets to battle) for the Celestial Arena will be added to the prize pool.
