Crypto Unicorns, the popular web3 game focused on breeding, battling, and collecting unicorns, has officially launched on the XAI network as of June 25, 2024. The game’s transition from the Polygon Network to the Arbitrum layer-3 blockchain brings a host of new features, including a native marketplace, faster gas-free transactions, and the introduction of XAI and CU token rewards for its users.

Shadowforge Feature and NFTs

One of the most anticipated updates following this migration to XAI is the new "Shadowforge" feature, which is set to go live within days of the game's release. Shadowforge promises a more passive gameplay experience, allowing players to earn additional rewards through resource harvesting, ritual crafting, and minion minting. These activities not only help players improve their leaderboard standings but also prepare them for future Shadowcorn vs. Unicorn game loops.

Daily login tasks and specific in-game activities will enable players to earn XAI rewards. Additionally, owners of Shadowcorn NFTs will gain extra rewards by engaging in the Shadow Forge. These enhancements are part of a broader strategy to enrich the player experience and incentivize active participation in the game.

New Play to Airdrop Campaign

The launch of Crypto Unicorns on XAI sets the stage for the upcoming "Play to Airdrop" campaign, commencing on July 1, 2024, and running for two months. This campaign will offer players opportunities to earn additional XAI rewards by completing in-game objectives.

Concurrently, XAI will introduce the Vanguard Campaign, featuring a series of Crypto Unicorns quests designed to motivate players to achieve various in-game goals. Aron Beierchmitt, CEO of Laguna Games, the developer behind Crypto Unicorns, expressed his enthusiasm for the game's launch on XAI.

“Launching Crypto Unicorns on XAI is a game-changer for our community,” Beierchmitt stated. “With faster, gas-free transactions, a new marketplace, and enhanced features, the player experience is significantly improved. By combining these advancements with hyper-deflationary tokenomics, we are setting the stage for a stable and sustainable in-game economy. Two years of bear market building is finally coming to fruition!”

Since the announcement of its migration, Crypto Unicorns has garnered significant interest from the XAI and Arbitrum communities. Esteemed partners such as Neotokyo, Game 7, and the XAI Foundation have actively promoted the launch online. Key opinion leaders in the crypto gaming space have been among the first to explore the revamped game on its new blockchain platform.

Two DAO Proposals and CU Tokens

To ensure a sustainable in-game economy, Crypto Unicorns will implement two key DAO proposals to manage the circulating supply of CU tokens. The first proposal involves a buy-and-burn system, where 50% of all ETH earned by the treasury will be used to purchase and burn CU tokens.

The second proposal introduces a monthly token burn mechanism, where CU tokens used in-game will be regularly burnt from the supply, including a retroactive burn of 6.48 million CU tokens to account for the past two years of in-game activity. These measures aim to reduce the total token supply by approximately 15%.
