DUELIST KING is a card battle game, this game uses a battle method more similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, Players can use follower cards to summon followers to fight, or use magic cards and trap cards to predict the situation, which is more playable and strategic than ordinary turn-based battles. The biggest difference from traditional games is that the assets in the game are firmly in the hands of the players. Although this is a must for any blockchain game, it is still huge compared to the traditional game world. innovation.

Rhythm BlockBeats: Please introduce yourself and introduce DUELIST KING to everyone.

Nicole Nguyen: Hello everyone, my name is Nicole, since 2016 I have been in the blockchain market since the beginning and have been in it. My recent work is mainly focused on Tokocrypto. I am currently serving as the international marketing director of Tokocrypto. Tokocrypto is the largest exchange in Indonesia and the company behind the TKO token. TKO is The 19th project of Binance launchpad.

Duelist King has an excellent team of 20 people and aims to pass the top game Gameplay, asset design and advocacy of Win2Earn, a sustainable future concept, to change the way people participate and earn income in card games.

Duelist King consists of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Oracle ( Oracle) and Random Number Generator to provide investors with dual value using token and card sales (estimated ~$40M). The Duelist King project launched in February of this year, with founder and CEO Chiro drafting a technical paper around a fair distribution model. Our founding team firmly believes that blockchain can bring fairness and equality to the distribution of game assets, integrate the centralized power of game publishers, and empower the community to develop and expand games.

Rhythm BlockBeats: As an old crypto player in 2016, how did you come into contact with NFT and finally decided to make a blockchain game?

Nicole Nguyen:In 2020, the NFT market itself has grown by two times, reaching 250 million, considering that only a few basketball collectibles, artwork, card games, and music items are circulated in the NFT market, which actually means that this field has huge untapped potential. Nowadays, online card games are becoming more and more popular, but other projects on the market have hardly developed a mature NFT card game platform related to blockchain .

Thanks to Gods Unchained, Illuvium and AnrKey With the popularity of other games, the NFT card game ecosystem has expanded significantly. As the first showcase platform on DKDAO, Duelist King will be designed as a decentralized card game, where upstream and downstream solutions, such as tokenization, distribution algorithms, and governance, are implemented through decentralized tools such as dRNG, decentralized oracle, and DAO) while maintaining the full experience of a card game.

Rhythm BlockBeats: Yu-Gi-Oh is relatively difficult in the card game. Are you worried that DUELIST KING adopts similar settings and Will the gameplay lead to a higher threshold?

Nicole Nguyen: Let me start off by saying that we will be offering Gwent style gameplay - our website white paper has just been updated.

There are 2 modes - Free2Play, which is more novice friendly and standard , and provides higher strategic skills. Also, Standard Mode requires you to own 22 cards, which equates to only $22, which is already a fairly low barrier to entry compared to other card games, so we believe we can attract more mainstream users.

Rhythm BlockBeats: What do you think is the biggest difference between blockchain games and traditional games? Does a blockchain game have to have Play to Earn mode?

Nicole Nguyen: Yes, I think there are many differences between blockchain games and traditional games, and "Play to Earn" is just one of them. Traditional gaming platforms are fairly rigid in terms of development and gameplay - external parties cannot contribute, change, or vote for their favorite game design, gameplay, or trade assets between different games. However, this also presents many opportunities for blockchain to decentralize games, break down silos between games, and reintegrate the absolute power of distributors.

Play2Earn is a great feature that helps attract More mainstream users, but not all games have to be.

The important thing about "Play2Earn" is that it helps to improve user experience and rewards. For us, the gamer experience is the most important, that's why our message is Free2Play - Play2Win - Win2Earn. This may sound old-school, but we believe that the sustainable way to move games forward is through the games themselves to get people to enjoy-engage-earn in them.

Rhythm BlockBeats: What is the Play to Earn mode of DUELIST KING? What other benefits can players get?

Nicole Nguyen: We have multiple utilities for our tokens, including P2E - game winners will be rewarded with additional cards, but they must use tokens to "unlock" and "claim" or "own" the cards.

There are additional benefits for token holders like lifetime discounts on mystery boxes, governance rights , mint rare NFTs, and earn profits from our in-game profit pool.

Finally, I believe you will be amazed by our gameplay and game design. Our demo of the game was released on September 25th, so I can't wait to share it with you all, and a first-hand trailer can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDNydwAeUE

Rhythm BlockBeats: Duelist King Yes All kinds of cards. Can we profit with cards that are not used in the game? For example, using other reward systems like staking

< b>Nicole Nguyen:We really hope to provide users with more practicality and products, not just staking and passive profit

There are many benefits to holding cards:

-Early access users can participate in the demo version and the first version of the game.

-Own and trade NFT: Cards as NFT can be traded on the NFT market, such as the Openseas platform.

Special discounts for VIP members: the top 100 users with the highest monthly traffic/recommendation can get special discounts from the ranking club (including airdrops, box discounts, etc.) .

IDO Wish: Cardholders can get a seat ($500 investment per seat) to attend our IDO without being listed on the leaderboard One of the top 50 members of the club. We've also assigned 50 other slot slots to random buyers who own Legendary cards.

Rhythm BlockBeats: What are the uses of DKT tokens ? How are tokens distributed?

Nicole Nguyen : 10,000,000 DKT (Duelist King Token) will be issued, and Token holders will have the right to vote on governance. DKT token holders can participate in DAO governance by locking their tokens to gain voting rights. The Duelist King DAO voting mechanism is based on weighted voting. Additionally, the tokens come with several utility features including lifetime discounts on mystery box purchases, minting and staking rare NFTs, and in-game cash rewards.

Rhythm BlockBeats: When is ID0 and how to get the airdrop?

Nicole Nguyen: This is a very interesting question, and I'm sure many of you are also concerned about it. IDO will be held around mid-October, and the specific time and platform will be announced through official channels soon.

We are now talking to top startup platforms like Polkastarter, OccamFi, KMS Starter, FantomGo and will make a decision next week. So folks, stay tuned, and stay tuned to our channels to get the latest news as soon as possible.

Rhythm BlockBeats: Will DUELIST KING build its own metaverse in the future, or will it be linked with other blockchain games?

Nicole Nguyen: We are now in discussions with other projects in the space, most recently JennyDAO, Decentral Games and others joining their metaverse. Our DKDAO platform could be an excellent platform for other game studios to enter our ecosystem and the joint metaverse we plan to build with our partners. We believe in the collective power of the Metaverse and the value of bringing more value to the space without us having to create another one.

Rhythm BlockBeats: What do you think will be the future development of NFT?

Nicole Nguyen: Since joining the blockchain space in 2016, I believe NFTs are one of the few trends that will persist. NFTs are increasingly finding their use cases in industries such as gaming, art, and collectibles. Coupled with the influence of the metaverse, NFT is a brand new emerging business, rather than a competitor in the traditional field, and its growth space is unlimited.

But there is still a lot that needs to be done in terms of onboarding (new user education), payments and solutions to accelerate NFT adoption, but I believe this Just a matter of time.
