            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*WooBqWvy2YmPVtdbE-eC8A.png" /></figure><p><strong>Attention all SWDTKN presale participants!</strong></p><p>Don’t miss out on an incredible opportunity to maximize your rewards and secure a substantial <strong>10% BONUS on APR</strong>! Sign-up at the end of this article!</p><p>By staking your presale tokens early, you’ll unlock exclusive benefits that will significantly boost your earnings. This limited-time offer allows you to gain an extra edge and be part of the select few who seize the advantages of early sign-up. Embrace the potential for impressive returns and actively participate in the growth of Swords of Blood.</p><p>But first, allow us to explain what staking is —</p><p><strong>Staking</strong>, in the realm of cryptocurrencies, has emerged as a fundamental mechanism for achieving consensus and maintaining network security within various blockchain ecosystems. Unlike the energy-intensive mining process associated with Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchains like Bitcoin, staking is a key feature of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and some Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) networks. In the staking process, participants, known as validators or stakers, voluntarily lock up a certain amount of their cryptocurrency holdings as collateral to be eligible for validating transactions and creating new blocks. By staking their tokens, these participants actively contribute to the network’s operations and decision-making process, ensuring transactions are processed securely and efficiently. In return for their efforts and commitment, stakers earn rewards in the form of additional cryptocurrency, fostering a system of incentives that encourages widespread participation and helps fortify the integrity of the blockchain network.</p><p>The concept of staking not only enhances the security and decentralization of blockchain networks but also offers a range of benefits to crypto investors and token holders. Through staking, investors have the opportunity to earn passive income and participate in the growth of their favorite cryptocurrency projects. The potential returns earned from staking can be attractive, and the process is generally more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to traditional mining. Furthermore, staking often provides a level of flexibility, enabling participants to unstake their tokens and access their funds at various intervals, depending on the specific blockchain protocol. As the cryptocurrency space continues to evolve, staking is expected to play an increasingly pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of blockchain networks, driving innovation, and aligning the interests of stakeholders in the pursuit of a more decentralized and sustainable financial future.</p><p>You can stake your SWDTKN for:<br><strong>365 Days</strong> | 30% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting<br><strong>180 Days</strong> | 12% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting<br><strong>120 days</strong> | 8% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting<br><strong>90 days</strong> | 5% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting<br><strong>60 days</strong> | 3% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting<br><strong>45 days</strong> | 2% APR + 10% APR BONUS for prelisting</p><p>The 10% Bonus is calculated from the APR that your staked tokens will gain.</p><p><strong>What is APR?</strong></p><p>APR (Annual Percentage Rate) in staking represents the nominal interest rate that stakers can earn on their staked cryptocurrency over a period of time, without considering compounding. It is a straightforward percentage that shows the potential returns from staking, assuming the staking rewards remain constant throughout the year.</p><p>The formula to calculate APR in staking is:</p><p>APR = (Staking Rewards ÷ Total Staked Amount) * 100</p><p>Where:</p><ul><li>Staking Rewards: The total rewards earned from staking over one year.</li><li>Total Staked Amount: The sum of all tokens staked in the network.</li></ul><p>Join us now and take the first step towards a prosperous SWDTKN future! Act fast, as this special bonus is for early adopters only. Don’t wait — sign-up now and watch your rewards soar!</p><p>Prelist for the SWDTKN staking here: <a href="https://forms.gle/quB1Q5CzHWxN7EWN8">https://forms.gle/quB1Q5CzHWxN7EWN8</a><br>Prelisting closes 30th July 2023</p><p><strong>TGE: 2nd AUGUST 2023</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1e870c960528" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Ws-biE9Q5AI1GaiVLTwflA.png" /></figure><p><strong>We are overwhelmed by everyone’s excitement and support for Swords of Blood! We are delighted that you are all part of our awesome community!</strong></p><p>There are a few news we would like to announce:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*ipetuAX1WpTae0xT" /></figure><p>Exchanges in the Top 10 require further community growth in our numbers and activities. That being said, we are extending Presale 3 till 9th June to ensure listing as we build the community bigger and better. We would like to get listed on 2 or 3 Top Exchanges and although we have received listing invitations from some of them, we still want more options. Listing on much bigger exchanges ensures that: 1) the project gets more exposure to more users through user marketing, and 2) there is the likelihood of listing in more, smaller exchanges (often for free!), therefore also growing the number of token holders.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*lwFoWOr_Z060Kp4B" /></figure><p>IDO round with launchpads will begin on 12th June — marketing to begin next week.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*sNZr1P181tL8y_rS" /></figure><p>Based on popular demand, we are bringing back the Loot Box Sale on 20th June!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*Eb7JZjOah3HLPc4s" /></figure><p>We are working on getting onboarded with one of the top market-making companies! Some of the currencies in their portfolio are XRP, Ethereum, Polkadot, Limewire, and Vega. More news on this soon.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*O6o8yd7IS2OCO4kK" /></figure><p>As requested and advised by the Exchanges and MM team, we have adjusted the Tokenomics to significantly improve token allocation/distribution, initial market cap, and valuation. Please find the new table here: <a href="https://swordsofblood.com/allocation/">https://swordsofblood.com/allocation/</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*esTCzSL82cKFawma" /></figure><p>In relation to the above, the Seed, Presale, IDO, and Launch token prices were also adjusted. We did our best to stay as close as possible to the old Tokenomics model, specifically to the pricing schedule. Improving this part of the project opens a lot of opportunities for much bigger partnerships and listings for the token, therefore better exposure to more communities.</p><p>Seed: $0.0075<br>Presale 1: $0.0095<br>Presale 2: $0.011<br>Presale 3: $0.012<br>IDO: $0.013<br>Launch/TGE: $0.015</p><p>However, as we are not able to change the presale contract anymore, you will encounter some discrepancy in the presale price VS the number of tokens you will get. Rest assured that we will adjust your token allocation prior to TGE based on the amount of USD you paid. You will see your correct token allocation when the claimer page is up and running (in a few more weeks).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*rP8_0mrfDUH5svJd" /></figure><p>We are about to open the pre-listing for Staking! Locking your tokens prior to TGE entitles you to 10% more token rewards compared to post-TGE. Staking tokens are also limited. Please stay tuned for announcements.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*v_BQtnyXIx7GP-ma" /></figure><p>With all that was mentioned above, the TGE is pushed to the last week of June. Do expect more marketing activities coming over the coming weeks!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*ccstTzaDo28MT7tt" /></figure><p><strong>We are confident that the project is moving in the best possible direction and we are dedicated to bringing its and its early adopters to success!</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/96/0*-y4LZiWoXHRd3db6" /></figure><p><strong>What can you do as part of the Swords of Blood community and ensure its growth and expansion? </strong>BE ACTIVE AND PROACTIVE!

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/936/1*dty0NEZRz7eSzCLwy-Emog.png" /></figure><p><a href="https://www.swordsofblood.com/">Swords of Blood</a>, the first hack and slash RPG mobile game with blockchain integration and utility token support, is finally releasing information on its long-awaited $SWDTKN tokenomics.</p><p>To avoid problems associated with P2E economies, we’re challenging the status quo by reinventing Play-to-Earn with a more sustainable Play-to-Own (P2O) concept where players are not only rewarded with in-game currency and items through play but also enjoy value through fun.</p><p>Beyond purchasing and upgrading items, players will always have a wide range of options, allowing the community to counteract inflation through different possible uses of their assets. Here, the value of $SWDTKN will flourish because players will invest in Swords of Blood’s immersive gameplay rather than focusing on earning a quick buck.</p><p>As the origins of our game are unique — so are the utility and token mechanics for the $SWDTKN token.</p><h3>About $SWDTKN</h3><p>Every fee, fine, reward, or other payment on our ecosystem will be paid in $SWDTKN, our native in-game currency.</p><p>Players must<a href="https://swords-of-blood-1.gitbook.io/swords-of-blood-whitepaper/swdtkn/token-utilities"> purchase $SWDTKN tokens</a> to get past a certain hero level, advance using in-game gold (for crafting gear) and in-game gems (to access exclusive content), and acquire season battle passes or enter PVP tournaments.</p><h3>Token use-cases</h3><p>Because items in the game are automatically generated as game utility tokens, players must pay in $SWDTKN to trade commodities, characters, skins, battle passes, etc., in our<a href="https://twitter.com/swordsofblood_?lang=en"> marketplace</a>. The token is also purposeful for leveling up, accessing tournaments, and season ranks.</p><h3>How can I find $SWDTKN?</h3><p>You can purchase or earn <a href="https://swords-of-blood-1.gitbook.io/swords-of-blood-whitepaper/swdtkn/tokenomics">$SWDTKN</a> in two ways: by trading on a centralized or decentralized exchange or by participating in tournaments and PVP seasons: let’s focus on the latter for now.</p><h3>Participate in tournaments to earn $SWDTKN tokens</h3><p><strong><em>NOTE: This route of earning $SWDTKN is strictly in line with your skillset and does not depend on the time spent playing the game.</em></strong></p><p>Swords of Blood is a Free-To-Play game that doesn’t need P2E elements to succeed (although it has one) — here, late-game content must be unlocked by spending $SWDTKN.</p><p>Players must participate in various PVP matches and win particular tournaments to secure tokens. Any player ranked #10 and up on the ladder for each season will receive $SWDTKN from the prize pool, which represents 15% of the tokens, intended to reward community members and top-performing players.</p><p>Through a profit-sharing method, the platform will rebate 10% of game tournament/PVP season rank rewards back to in-game players.</p><h3>Tokenomics</h3><p>Our ecosystem is expected to thrive thanks to $SWDTKN’s distribution scheme, which rewards active members of the community and token holders and encourages participation through community events and collaborative development practices.</p><h3>Distribution at-a-glance</h3><p>In terms of supply, the total supply will be capped at 1 billion tokens and distributed via different tranches, i.e., 11.5% of the total supply will go towards the seed round and public IDOs, with 10-month linear vesting periods.</p><p>20% of the tokens will be distributed equally between staking and the in-game rewards system, 34.5% will be allocated for development, i.e., fund projects and future initiatives, whereas 20% (200,000,000) will be purposed towards community and marketing.</p><p>Finally, 14% of the funds will be set aside to incentivize our team and investors. So we’re awarding 75% of the total token supply to the community — a rarity in the gaming industry.</p><p>Remember that 35% of the money spent playing the game will buy back $SWDTKN or the $SWDTKN’s are burned. However, the deflationary nature of the token means it can maintain its value over time, further enduring and supporting widespread adoption. This aspect is fundamental for guaranteeing user experiences and preserving token accessibility.</p><h3>Token Vesting Periods</h3><p>We have established one or two methods for token releases to ensure healthy and sustainable growth.</p><p>For instance, looking at the ‘Team and Advisors’ tranche:</p><p>● 0% unlocked at TGE</p><p>● Twelve months for the team and nine months for the advisors</p><p>● 24-month linear vesting period</p><p>Because of the cliff option, the team and advisors must wait for some time before the token release begins. However, to avoid any adverse market impact resulting from having an ample supply of tokens being unlocked at a single point, the remaining team and advisor tokens will gradually become accessible after 24 months.</p><p>To check the details of the vesting periods for each tranche, please visit<a href="https://www.swordsofblood.com/allocation/"> this page</a>.</p><h4>We’ve created a passionate fanbase by consistently delivering more than we promise.</h4><p>Participating in Swords of Blood is more than creating unique experiences for yourself; it’s about being an early investor in a mobile RPG revolution.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=474aaea5084b" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

However, hack-and-slash RPGs allow players to be heroic figures in their own stories and explore fantastical worlds full of danger and excitement. They also let players pit their wits against one another in contests of quick thinking, outwitting opponents, and outmaneuvering them.</p><p>Slashing through hordes of enemies with little thought or strategy may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s no less than that either — there’s a lot of room for this gaming genre in the industry. Because of their accessibility and replay value, we’re seeing more action RPGs being released yearly.</p><h3>Swords of Blood: An Overview</h3><p>This is the first blockchain-based RPG with hack-and-slash gameplay and support for Game Utility Tokens (aka NFTs) to debut on Solana.</p><p>Swords of Blood is an ambitious immersive action RPG with an incredible gameplay hook that improves the more you master the basics.</p><p><a href="https://www.swordsofblood.com/team/">According to the team</a>, the game emphasizes user empowerment by combining the best of the slasher genre with blockchain technology — to provide gamers with new possibilities.</p><p>Game utility tokens, for instance, can grant players progression and real-money items, adding more functionality and appeal to gamers who want to enhance their game experiences with their creations.</p><h3>Gameplay</h3><h4>Setting</h4><p>The game is set in the <a href="https://www.swordsofblood.com/about/">World of Ezura</a>, a once flourishing fictional world ravaged by the evil Dragon Betrayer, a supernatural being with immeasurable power and equal greed.</p><p>For a thousand years, Betrayer’s armies have roamed the land, creating chaos, acting with complete impunity, and slaughtering without mercy — with glumness and despondency engulfing the entire realm. There seems to be no hope for survival from the desolation.</p><p>Until Sentinel, a goddess from ancient times, revives you, the protagonist, as the only remnant of the Bladebound Order, the last hope of humankind sent to salvage what’s left of eternity.</p><h4>Playthrough</h4><p>Players rove through barren desert battlefields and dense jungles overlaid with ancient architectural structures from a top-down perspective on a journey to vengeance.</p><p>Armed with a sword, the protagonist comes upon several perilous dungeons — all infested by monstrous, fiendishly designed creatures and beasts. Options are available to upgrade your character and obtain better loot to battle and slash through these enemies in dynamic gesture-controlled combat methods.</p><p>Bringing down a weapon to deliver the killing blow, or blasting enemies with skills that rip through the flesh from their bones, though, results in tremendous gratification.</p><p>However, aside from the hard-hitting, fast-paced style of Swords of Blood’s combat sequences, the eruption of gold and treasure into the air, once an enemy is defeated, is enough to induce a rush of adrenalin.</p><p>Besides a well-thought-out character progression system, Swords of Blood’s competent level design rewards exploration of its extensive environments in several ways — including plenty of gear crafting options, making progression even more satisfying.</p><p>And since NFTs are integrated, anyone can earn real money by selling in-game items. Players can also trade these items to advance themselves or their characters.</p><h3>Why Swords of Blood Deserves Excitement</h3><h4>AAA standards</h4><p>To enjoy Swords of Blood, players must learn to switch between combo options and a pleasing rhythm of battles. The coordinated PVP and PVE battles are dynamic and straightforward to adjust to, and even the slow periods are worthwhile to take a break from the usual chaos. Swords of Blood demonstrates how to expand the action genre with aesthetics and substance with a natural mixture of strategy, excellent combat, impressive exploration, clever puzzles, and solid progression mechanics.</p><h4>NFT Incentivization</h4><p>Swords of Blood considers the platform a structure for modding games, providing players with the option to monetize their engagement by awarding NFTs monetary value. Players can purchase weapons, armor, and other goods and sell them to other players.</p><p>NFT integration increases excitement by allowing players to earn real-world value for in-game items. For instance, anyone supporting Swords of Blood early can expect special offers: beta access to games, a whitelist spot on the Genesis NFT minting, and the opportunity to earn a limited-edition GUT weapon minted by Forged in Fire’s champion<a href="https://www.history.com/shows/forged-in-fire/cast/ben-abbott"> Ben Abbott</a>, plus more!</p><h4>Community</h4><p>Gaming projects depend on their community’s strength and interconnectedness to flourish. Swords of Blood operates on democratic principles, guaranteeing <a href="https://swords-of-blood-1.gitbook.io/swords-of-blood-whitepaper/">everyone has a say</a> in how the project is developed, operated, and governed.</p><p>Besides utilizing NFTs and in-game rewards to empower players and keep them engaged — Swords of Blood has established that asset holders can review and assess certain aspects and features in the Beta programs before they are publicly available.</p><h4>An upgrade from Bladebound and a step up for RPGs</h4><p>This game, developed by industry veterans at Hitbox Games and loaded with a creative story by <a href="https://swordsofblood.medium.com/swords-of-blood-the-diablo-of-web3-5c3a0e92e802">Jakub Szamałek</a>, principal writer for projects like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 — will be a game-changer.</p><p>Swords of Blood represents a new direction for P2E and P2O (Play-to-Own) games and a robust ecosystem to benefit blockchain gamers and the entire industry.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=73ac2be3e9e4" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

And just why are we so optimistic about this particular game, you might ask?</p><p>That’s a good question, with a great answer.</p><p>SoB is the on-chain development of the blockbuster Bladebound, the mobile classic launched in 2018 by Artifex Mundi: the game has been downloaded 1.3 millions of times between Appstore and Google Play, with an average 4.5/5 rating from over 100k reviews.</p><p>That’s not too bad to begin with, is it?</p><p>And the best has yet to come:</p><p>HitBox Games is going to be developing the on-chain iteration of the game, which will of course feature vast improvements on an already classic game.</p><p>The 3D isometric graphics will be kept, as will the action, rogue-like elements of the original game, but so much more is going to be implemented.</p><p>The first noticeable addition will be that of a plethora of new skins and weapons, but the game changer will be the inclusion of what the devs have termed GUTs, or Game Utility Tokens.</p><p>These tokens will take the form of NFTs and will represent unique in-game objects, which will be re-sellable once you have found upgrades for your character.</p><p>All you will have to do is head to the GUT marketplace, where you’ll not only be able to buy or sell weapons and armor, but also your leveled-up characters, in exchange for our game token $SWDTKN.</p><p>To make sure that the game does not follow the downward path of previous play-to-earn games, the developers have devised a new, more sustainable concept: Play-to-Own (P2O).</p><p>Swords of Blood doesn’t only offer loot and in-game currency, but lets the player enhance its character by unlocking special upgrades, allowing gamers to craft their own weapons, for example.</p><p>The P2O will allow for more sustainability within the game economy and tokenomics, and will give priority to the fast-paced gameplay, lore and character development, rather than focusing on making money alone.</p><p>That’s why the barrier to entry for Swords of Blood has been eliminated completely: remember when you had to spend a small fortune if you wanted to even have a chance at winning in Axie Infinity?</p><p>Swords of Blood will be completely free to play, and what your character’s path will be will depend entirely on your choices.</p><p>Whether you want to explore the rich world of Ezura, or become a legendary monster hunter, whether you want to pit your elemental skills against the world’s monsters (PvE) or battle it out with fellow gamers (PvP), SoB has all your gaming needs catered to!</p><p>Make sure to follow our socials to be updated on anything SoB, and keep an eye out for our upcoming IDO and IGO!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=42f9e9ab452e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
