In the realm of blockchain-based gaming, Moonfrost is preparing to launch its first-ever NFT mint, known as the Frost-Hunter Genesis collection. This marks a significant milestone for the game, which combines farming simulation with social interaction elements akin to Stardew Valley.

The upcoming mint event, designed to reward dedicated players and community supporters, emphasizes inclusivity through carefully managed whitelist and reserve lists. As Moonfrost gears up for its Alpha 3 release featuring The Village, a new social hub, players eagerly anticipate enhanced gameplay experiences and community engagement opportunities.

What is Moonfrost

Moonfrost is described as a life-simulation farming RPG currently in development by Oxalis Games. The NFT game combines the charm of classic titles like Stardew Valley with modern web3 gameplay elements. Players can customize their farm, build relationships with a diverse cast of characters, and uncover the "secrets of the mysterious Frost.'  

In the charming character-based farming experience players can farm, gather resources, craft items, decorate their homes, and attract a variety of non-player characters (NPCs) to their town. While primarily a single-player game, it includes social features and requires an active internet connection - currently available on PC and mobile. Notably, crops and other timed elements will continue to progress even when players are offline, and the game promises a cruelty-free experience with no animal killing.

Introducing the Frost-Hunter Genesis NFT Mint

The Frost-Hunter Genesis collection will consist of 500 limited edition NFTs minted on the Ethereum blockchain. These NFTs will not only grant guaranteed access to all future alpha and beta tests but also offer the potential to claim airdrops of FROST tokens, the exclusive crypto asset of Moonfrost.

Whitelist and Reserve List Details

Moonfrost has designated the top 100 SHARDS collectors from the recent Farming Fest event to join the whitelist for their upcoming NFT mint. Players can check their SHARDS balance here. Those who accumulated over 14,580 SHARDS are likely eligible for a whitelist spot.

Additionally, Moonfrost conducted raffles using SHARDS for entries, including one for participants who completed all Farming Fest tasks and another for those who played at least 60 minutes during the event. A few whitelist spots were also given to selected community members and supporters.

Farming Fest Event

Each individual is entitled to only one whitelist spot to ensure that each NFT minted finds a unique owner. Emails confirming whitelist inclusion have been sent out to all recipients.

To address any unclaimed NFTs during the initial mint, Moonfrost has established a reserve list. Emails for the reserve list will be distributed shortly (or may have already been sent). If activated, the reserve list will operate on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis.

Participants selected for either the whitelist or reserve list are advised to monitor their email and complete the required form to qualify for the mint. Please note, that there will be no public minting event for the Frost-Hunter Genesis collection, and details regarding the date and location of the mint have yet to be disclosed.

What Are SHARDS?

Moonfrost Alpha 3 Preview

Scheduled for release in July, Moonfrost Alpha 3 introduces "The Village," a new social hub featuring shops, NPCs, and interactive player environments. Although character customization won't be available initially, players can expect equitable changes to SHARDS distribution and leaderboard mechanisms. SHARDS function as an off-chain token serving as an in-game currency and points system, with integration plans for the FROST token.

Earn SHARDS Through In-Game Tasks

Participants earn SHARDS by completing various in-game tasks. While the exact purpose of SHARDS remains undisclosed, they are expected to play a significant role in the game’s economy.
