Gamers and NFT enthusiasts alike are gearing up for the latest mint event from Paradise Tycoon, offering a chance to secure a Gold Pass NFT. Set to commence today May 3rd, the mint promises exclusive perks, including premium battle pass benefits and potential future token and NFT airdrops.

In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about Paradise Tycoon's latest Gold Pass NFT mint event offering free access to premium benefits, multiplayer features, and $MOANI token rewards. Read on to learn how to join the mint and explore this Stardew Valley-like farming game.

Stardew Valley of Web3

Paradise Tycoon is a well-known multiplayer RPG by the studio Empires Not Vampires Ltd, built on the Immutable (IMX) blockchain. The game allows players to build and manage their virtual paradise island, set in a tropical metaverse where they start with a small piece of land and limited resources. 

Timo Juuti, the COO of Empires Not Vampires Ltd, recently revealed exclusive key details for their beta phase which started back on March 4th. Timo also shared news about the successful closing of a seed round, bringing the studio's total raised funds to an impressive $2 million dollars - backed by notable VCs such as Shima Capital and MoonRock Capital.

Beta Newest Features 

While the team says they are "just scratching the surface of the full features set", the beta phase has introduced some exciting new additions, including:

• Immutable Passport Integration: A new partnership with Immutable introduces a one-click wallet and account system, nothing short of a game-changer. This seamless integration is a bridge to captivating a massive mainstream audience.
• A Bounty of Resources and Buildings: The multiplayer environment is richer with an extensive amount of new resources and buildings to build.
• Free Camera Rotation: The much-requested free camera rotation is here. Enjoy a 360° view of your paradise, ensuring no detail goes unnoticed.
• Creative Freedom with Building Materials: Dive into unparalleled creativity with simple building materials and blocks for decorative constructions.
• Other Upgrades: Plenty of smaller upgrades such as more dynamic farming mechanics, bug fixes, and UX improvements.

New building materials not only pave the way for User-Generated Content (UGC) but also invite players to push the boundaries of island design, and quite possibly the limits of game design and server infrastructure.

Details of Mint Event

The mint event kicks off with the guaranteed whitelist round at 1 pm UTC, followed by the Waitlist round at 4 pm UTC on May 3rd. With only 1500 passes available, the allocation is expected to be swiftly claimed, especially considering the first-come-first-served basis of the Waitlist round.

Zero Cost Entry

One distinguishing feature of today's mint is its zero-cost entry, as it leverages the Immutable zkEVM network, eliminating gas fees entirely. However, participation requires whitelist status, which unfortunately closed prior to the event. Interested individuals can verify their whitelist status on the official Paradise Tycoon dashboard.

Paradise Pass Gold NFT

But what exactly is the Paradise Pass Gold NFT?

Functioning as Paradise Tycoon's premium battle pass equivalent, it offers players access to exclusive multiplayer features during beta testing. Additionally, pass holders can earn $MOANI tokens and other rewards by completing various in-game tasks and maintaining ownership of the NFT.

Furthermore, Paradise Tycoon plans to introduce a play-to-earn campaign for $MOANI tokens, with owning a Gold Pass offering enhanced rewards opportunities. The NFTs are set to be tradable on Sphere, with a direct link to follow post-mint.

More About Paradise Tycoon?

For those unfamiliar with Paradise Tycoon, it's a farming and building game reminiscent of Stardew Valley, where players inherit a tropical island and must revitalize it by cleaning, crafting, and decorating.
