TreasureDAO has become one of The brightest pieces on Coinbase and Binance since The Beacon hit treasuredao. TreasureDAO, which stands in the market spotlight, hasn't stopped to bask in the popularity they've lost in a long time, and they're trying to bring a gaming ecosystem called "Kuroro" into the world of TreasureDAO.

As you can see from the tweet above, "Pokemon" is one of Kuroro's hashtags. What's the magic of this "Web3 Pokemon" that attracts TreasureDAO? Pulsating BlockBeats takes you inside.
Project overview
Kuroro has been operating since late November, raising more than $3 million through the sale of Golden Ferry Ticket Golden Ferry Ticket and Silver Ferry Ticket Silver Ferry Ticket NFT.

Game introduction
Currently, there are two games in continuous development under its ecosystem: "Beast Brawl" and "Kuroro Wilds: Call of the Islands."
Beast Brawl
A similar to "Pokemon" strategy class turn-based combat games. Collect various "beasts" in Beast Brawl and design your battle lineup to fight against other players to rank up, unlock season battle pass rewards, and earn tradeable special items.
According to Kuroro, three pro Pokemon VGC players, including a world champion, were involved in designing the game's mechanics to make Beast Brawl a "more esports friendly" game. Some of these design improvements, such as "reduced randomness" and "flexible round length," are specific to the experience of competitors and spectators. Some of these things might have hurt the fun of the game, such as "erasing a lot of repetitions before you get to the full game experience," which they chose to develop Kuroro Wilds: Call of the Islands to make up for. Even the NFT is part of the "better for esports" concept -- no more having to buy a Nintendo Switch and a Pokemon strip to join the game.
Beast Brawl's two core features, Lineup Designer and Rank Matching, have been in private beta since April, primarily for members of its community. At the end of November, Beast Brawl entered a beta phase called "Pre-Alpha", where the game was much improved and more complete.

Each NFT series introduction
Golden Ferry Ticket Golden Ferry Ticket
The "Golden Ferry Ticket" went on sale in January this year, with a total of 740 tickets (30 reserved by teams, half allocated to team members and the other half to be given away in partnership) priced at 0.15 ETH. The launch of the Golden Ferry Ticket went very smoothly, selling out in seconds and performing well in the market for more than 3 months, with the floor price staying around 1 ETH. However, Golden Ferry Ticket has not been able to withstand the bear market attack, since mid-May floor price and volume have continued to decline, currently on OpenSea floor price of about 0.19 ETH.

The Golden Ferry Ticket is available on the websiteexchange. When redeemed, you can get one "original Beast", one "Origin Beast" and one "Gold Trainer Medal". In addition, Origin beasts acquired by redeemable Golden Ferry tickets have a 10% chance of having the "lucky" attribute (like Pokemon with the "flash" attribute). Each Golden Ferry Ticket is destroyed after being redeemed, and there are currently 175 Golden Ferry tickets in circulation.
Silver Ferry Ticket Silver Ferry Ticket
A total of 5,860 Silver Ferry tickets (60 reserved for teams) went on sale in early May. Of these, 3,400 were sold through a fair Dutch auction with a starting price of 0.45 ETH and sold out at 0.3 ETH. On the contrary, 2,400 copies were left for the white list, but the price of 0.15 ETH was not sold out, and the team finally chose to keep the remaining 988 copies for future development. In any case, it was a pretty good launch for the market.
The Silver Ferry Ticket came at a bad time for the market, which is in a downward spiral. The current floor price on OpenSea is about 0.04 ETH.

The Silver Ferry Ticket is also available onlineexchangeHowever, the bonus is not as large as a Gold Ferry Ticket, and the probability of getting one original beast or one Gold trainer medal is only 10 percent. In addition, Origin beasts that are redeemed for a Silver Ferry Ticket have a "lucky" attribute only 1 percent of the time. Each Silver Ferry Ticket is destroyed after it is redeemed, and there are still 1,200 in circulation.
Origin Beast Origin Beast
There will be a total of 6600 Origin Beast, all of which are generated by exchanging Golden Ferry Ticket/Silver Ferry Ticket. So far, 4315 "Origin beasts" have been generated and cost 0.018 ETH on OpenSea floor.
There are a total of 12 "elements" in the "Beasts of Origin", and more may be added in the future. There will be a restraint relationship between the "beasts" of different "elements". In addition, there are "elements" to the "beast" skills, and a "water beast" can also learn "fire skills", but it is not good for the "effect crowd" -- not only the "beast" element "has to exercise restraint on the target, but also the" element "of the skill used.
12 Elements: "Water", "Soul", "Wind", "Poison", "Wood", "Light", "electricity", "Metal", "Fire", "dark", "Earth", "Fighting"
Table of restraint relationships between different "elements"
In addition, beasts of different "elements" will have some unique "resistance", for example, "electric beasts" will not be "paralyzed" or "wooden beasts" will not be "hypnotized".
The Origin Beast has six "base attributes" : Health, Attack, defense, Magic attack, Magic defense, and Speed. The "base attribute" is also called the "genetic value GV" because the "base attribute" is randomly assigned a value between 1 and 10 when the NFT is cast (except for "speed"). Because "speed" determines the order of turns in a battle, the "beast" with the highest "speed" on the field can attack first. To ensure game balance, the initial "speed" of all beasts is 5), which not only determines the innate condition of beasts, but also affects their "reproduction".
Leveling up Beasts earns them skill points SP to enhance Base stats. Each beast gets up to 100 skill points SP and a single stat can use up to 50 SP. In addition, there are three stages of evolution (perhaps four in the future), each of which can break the total value of the "base stat".
"Basic," "Rare," and "Epic" are the three rarity levels of "Beast of Origin." The higher the rarity level, the harder it is to draw. It does not affect the combat ability.
In the end, only the beast of Origin can reproduce.
Starter Beast Starter Beast
The Starter Beast currently has only 929 units. Compared to the "origin beast", the "original beast" although not "breeding", but more rare, and has some uniqueness. Currently, the floor price of the Initial Beast on OpenSea is 0.03 ETH.
The "original beasts" are more memorable. Based on the dog, monkey and toad, which have been popular in the community since the early testing, three "original beasts" have been developed, namely Argos, Koji and Torudo. Each "Starter beast" is a "light element whiteboard" and can choose any of the "fire", "water", "grass", "electricity" as the second "element" after "evolution", which will be done in Kuroro Wilds: Call of the Islands.
Three "primal beasts" : Argos, Koji, and Torudo
Golden Trainer Badge Golden Trainer Badge
There are only 972 Golden Trainer Badge Gold MEDALS available and they cost 0.025 ETH on the OpenSea floor. It's not a lot, but it doesn't have a lot of utility, and the biggest utility we know so far is that we're going to get $KURO.
$KURO
Officially, Kuroro has yet to release a detailed account of Token economics. What is known is that Kuroro will have double tokens. The $KURO will play the primary role in the entire Kuroro ecology, while the $DIV will serve as the in-game Token. But right now Kuroro has two games on his development list, and there may be in-game tokens beyond $DIV.
Known holders of Origin Beast, Starter Beast, and Golden Trainer Badge receive $KURO airdrops. The more you hold, the more airdrops you earn. Also, pledge "Origin Beast" and "Starter Beast" to get more airdrops.
如何参与 Beast Brawl 的 Pre-Alpha 测试？
Gold participation: Purchase 1 Origin Beast, Starter Beast, or Golden Trainer Badge, the cheapest currently being Origin Beast.
Liver Discord Participation: Participate in various Kuroro Discord activities (like retweeting/creating art, etc.) and redeem 50 Kuroro Discord points for a test qualification.
Once you qualify, you don't need to buy any additional NFT to play the game, and there are weekly updates of "beasts" that are free for all beta players to choose from. Kryptonite players have the advantage of being able to bring their own "beasts" into the game. In the future, Beast Brawl will continue To follow the Free To Play concept, with players getting more powerful beasts and being able to form more flexible linkups outside of the weekly Beast pool.
conclusion
Finally, there is TreasureDAO, a potential collaboration between Kuroro and Treasuredao. I don't think Kuroro is likely to fully become a TreasureDAO ecological project like The Beacon, where there won't be much progress any time soon, But small-scale tie-ups (such as co-hosting competitions/Giveaway like test slots to Smol Brains holders in TreasureDAO) should be there.
First, Kuroro himself has managed to raise sufficient funds and has already planned his own dual Token model. Kuroro does not need TreasureDAO much, either in terms of the money it has or the vision it proposes, and should tend to maintain its independence.
Second, Kuroro has been building his own games on Polygon (Beast Brawl is currently running on Polygon). Even if you really want to move to Arbitrum, the speed will not be too fast. After all, the migration of Origin Beast and Starter Beast from Polygon back to the ETH main network is not complete yet, Beast Brawl still needs to be optimized continuously, plus Kuroro Wilds: Call of the Islands' first Demo is about to be released, and Kuroro certainly has a lot of work on his hands.
It can be difficult to maintain the value or focus of a project during the long development cycle after a successful launch. This interaction between Kuroro and TreasureDAO is a good thing for both sides -- Kuroro improves visibility and TreasureDAO delivers a wonderful narrative. Will Kuroro help TreasureDAO move closer to its dream of "Web3 Nintendo"? Wait and see.
