The team behind the melee-centric online arena game, Moonray, has recently unveiled exciting information about the complimentary minting of their Godspawn NFT collection. This event is set to occur on Magic Eden on Wednesday, October 23rd, commencing at 8 AM EST.
Introducing Moonray Godspawn
Moonray Godspawn is an innovative NFT profile picture (PFP) collection that consists of 5,000 distinct digital avatars. Each avatar is more than just a digital representation; they come equipped with exclusive utilities designed to enrich the Moonray ecosystem. These avatars represent “the power and mystery of Moonray’s cosmic lore” and provide holders with access to a variety of Web3 gaming experiences, deepening their engagement with the IP’s celestial story.
Benefits of Owning a Godspawn NFT
By holding a Godspawn PFP, users can enjoy a range of benefits:
- Exclusive in-game items
- Seasonal rewards
- Access to special mints
- Participation in playtests
- Utilization of a unique soft-staking and questing platform
Those who own a Godspawn PFP can expect to begin using the soft-staking and questing platform by Q4 2024. This will involve engaging with the community through various quests and raffles to earn rewards, as detailed in the project’s roadmap. More specific details will be shared later.
Upcoming Developments
Post-launch of the questing platform, PFP holders will receive exclusive access to a closed playtest for Moonray’s mobile-first autobattler game in Q1 2025. A significant content update is also anticipated for this period, addressing community feedback with new gameplay features for both NFT holders and traditional players. By Q4 2025, the Web3 UE5 game will broaden its reach to additional platforms, including Steam and consoles, alongside a major content update. Recently, Moonray also announced plans for a PlayStation 5 release next year.
Details on the Free Mint of Moonray Godspawn NFTs
Out of the 5,000 total NFTs, 750 are reserved for the treasury, while 70 are allocated for the development team and their partners. This leaves approximately 4,180 PFPs available for free minting on Magic Eden via the Ethereum blockchain. Although there is no mint price, buyers will still need to pay gas fees using $ETH.
Minting Phases
The minting process consists of three phases scheduled for October 23rd:
- Guaranteed Phase: Starting at 8 AM EST, each whitelisted wallet can mint one NFT. This phase will last for three hours.
- Waitlist Phase: Commencing at 11 AM EST, this one-hour phase allows eligible wallets to mint one NFT on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Public Phase: If any NFTs remain after the earlier phases, users can mint one NFT per wallet at 12 PM EST.
To check your wallet’s eligibility for these phases, use the wallet checker available on the official mint page. If eligibility discrepancies arise, you may need to wait a few hours as more wallets are verified.
Currently, it appears that obtaining a whitelisted spot may not be feasible, but participating in the official Discord can keep you informed about any surprise opportunities. Recently, community members gained whitelist access through various Discord events and contests, as well as being recognized for their contributions in assisting new users in navigating the dynamic world of Moonray.
Exciting Updates in October
Beyond the free mint, October also marks the rollout of the Alpha 2 update for Moonray on the Epic Games Store. This update will introduce a new duel game mode and a revamped game economy, officially transforming the sci-fi title into a free-to-play experience for both Web3 and Web2 players, who can engage in the fully free October Battle Pass for NFT rewards.
