Nexus Interactive, a web3 gaming studio supported by Animoca, has recently launched a Free Mint Whitelist campaign for its anticipated game, Everdawn: Champions. This free-to-play, turn-based strategy game made its early access debut on the Epic Games Store in September this year.
Overview of the Free Mint Whitelist Campaign
The campaign began on October 17 at 00:01 UTC and will conclude on November 6 at 23:59 UTC. During this period, gamers have multiple opportunities to secure a whitelist spot for one of the 999 VIP Passes available on the Base chain. It’s worth noting that each wallet can only claim one VIP Pass, ensuring exclusivity for participants.
Ways to Earn a Whitelist Spot
Participants can engage in four different types of events, each offering a unique number of whitelist spots:
- Champion NFT Staking (80 spots)
- Weekly Leaderboard Questing (80 spots)
- Weekend Gaming Events & Raffles (80 spots)
- Discord Community Events (30 spots)
Champion NFT Staking
The NFT staking event allocates 80 whitelist spots to the accounts with the highest number of staked NFT Champions. This event concludes on October 22 at 12:00 UTC, prompting participants to stake their Champions diligently to secure a top position. You can browse male and female Warriors via the Questing Realms web app, with links to purchase them on OpenSea. Currently, the floor prices are:
- Women Champions: 0.019 $ETH
- Men Champions: 0.0242 $ETH
Weekly Leaderboard Questing
If staking isn’t your preference, you can earn Silver Coins by completing quests in both the main game and the browser-based Questing Realms. This category also offers 80 whitelist spots split into two top 20 leaderboards, with participants competing in the following ways:
- Top 20 Silver Coin collectors from weekly quests
- Overall top 20 earners of Silver Coins for the duration of the campaign
Weekend Gaming Events
The Play Weekends offer an exciting way for players to earn whitelist spots by achieving a top-8 rank based on their performance in Everdawn: Champions. Additionally, random raffles will take place throughout the campaign, targeting players who reach specific gameplay milestones, as detailed in this Medium post.
Discord Community Events
Within the official Discord server, only 30 whitelist spots are accessible through various contests and raffles. To enter these raffles, participants must connect their wallets and purchase specific roles. Points can be earned through social tasks in the #engage channel. Roles available for purchase include:
- Swordsman: 80 points
- Arcane Archer: 150 points
- Warden of Realms: 250 points
Opting for higher-point roles increases your chances of winning raffle spots.
