Web3 Narrative

The game's narrative unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where a mech-wielding faction clashes with powerful magic users. Kaidro introduces a unique gaming experience with three teams of three players each, engaging in various missions and battles against enemies. The game seamlessly combines player versus player (PvP), player versus environment (PvE), and a quest system.

Sky Mavis CEO and co-founder, Trung Nguyen, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating: "We are excited to announce our partnership with Gadget-Bot. The Kaidro franchise, spanning webcomics, games, and animations, is prime for web3 integration, and we see great potential in collaborating to bring uniquely crafted IP to Ronin and beyond."

Coinciding with this announcement, Kaidro has released its latest trailer, created in collaboration with Tim Hedrick, known for his work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: Legend of Korra, and Voltron: Legendary Defender. The animated TV series also features contributions from the Odesza duo, renowned for their Game of Thrones music.

Mint Details

While Kaidro became a world-famous web3 offering on the strength of its lore, the Gadget Bot founders have a few other aces up their sleeves – including a passion for community building.

They’re approaching this mint with early supporters in mind, which is why Journal NFTs minted during the free mint period will grant their holders exclusive benefits as their universe unfolds. The mint will reopen at a future date, but those minters will not receive the full suite of benefits today’s minters will secure.

Here are a few key details surrounding the mint:

Cost: All Journal NFTs are FREE to mint

Limit: One Journal NFT per Ronin Wallet

Reveal: ~24 hours after the mint is over

Duration: The mint will be open for 24 hours from March 13th, 6 pm PST to March 14th, 6 pm PST

In web3, early NFT holders often have the opportunity to become ambassadors in their communities. After all, Jiho was an axie holder and player before joining the Sky Mavis team. Kaidro’s inaugural mint is 100% free, which gives everyone an equal opportunity to get involved from the start.
