Overview of Nifty Wizards

Nifty Wizards

Nifty Wizards is a WAX Blockchain NFT powered RPG (Role Playing Game) that is played inside of the messaging application Telegram. Wizards can buy, sell, trade, and participate in a user centric economy. The game has already started and it will never end. It starts in Telegram but it can expand into other chat platforms, new blockchains, video games, and physical games. The possibilities are endless.

As a Wizard, you complete quests to earn new items (NFTs) and get access to new rooms within Telegram while casting spells and contributing to the growth of the game. What started from grass roots has now grown into a hilarious cult. A collective of RPG and NFT enthusiasts, learning about WAX while enjoying their friends and meeting new ones. Everyone can participate in creating the game. This suits us well as we run the game in a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) fashion where members actually play key roles and earn rewards for getting involved via secondary market economies. We have various “chambers” where wizards make items and decide the direction of the game. We’re attracting people within the community but also those who have yet to learn about the WAX ecosystem. Nifty Wizards is a safe and fun environment where people can network while earning rewards. In addition to this we’re finding new and innovative ways to expand the utility of NFTs. So in summary, call it a virtual RPG running on telegram. A Telegram Choose-your-own-adventure where people become literal stakeholders in the system itself; Where anyone is welcomed into the WAX ecosystem with a key and a scroll. People are equally incentivized to participate and grow the game.

Significance: We're combining old and popular role-playing games and social interactions with a unique WAX learning experience; a twist on proven models with new technology that truly allows players to be able to own their in-game assets.

Our DAO Model

Nifty Wizards is not fully decentralized but it is implementing functional DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) through incremental decentralization.

Owners of specific items can gain access to specific groups (Chambers) and there they can vote on initiatives in the game. Ownership of the NFT is required to vote, therefore ownership gives a Wizard power to steer the fate of the game.

We have 6 functional voting chambers and have already voted in dozens of initiatives that were implemented. DAOs and DACs in traditional crypto are not friendly for every day gamers; this one is.

How Chambers Work

Chambers are rooms in Telegram and they can be thought of much like any other dungeon crawler, take Zelda for example. Players can gain access to new Chambers by leveling up their Wizard. Some Chambers are for Wizards who have earned certain powers, like the power to create NFTs. Masters of Chambers can mint the NFTs and give them to players who earned them or sell them for profit on the markets. Masters also get to decide who else can mint NFTs and can either collude or compete with each other to control prices.

Market size and opportunity

People love fantasy games. The global role playing games market reached a value of nearly $15.7 Billion in 2019, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.84% since 2015, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.22% to nearly $22.4 Billion by 2023.

Traction In a couple of months we have attracted hundreds of players to our active and growing telegram. Our user interaction and retweets on Twitter are larger than most of the alternative applications in the ecosystem. Our sales on AtomicHub have quickly grown to more than 20,000 WAX and we have attracted many dedicated collectors. We have a hard time keeping certain items in stock, and we have been profitable since day 1.

Some of the statistics at the time of writing this include Twitter 1864 followers

We’ve earned over 92K impressions on twitter in the last 28 days alone with over 350 retweets.

Telegram Rooms Total - 30+ Rooms (Chambers)

Players - 700+

Our Profit Model

• For every Nifty Wizard NFT sale we receive 5%.

• We mint and sell items directly for 100% profit.

The unique thing about Nifty Wizards is that we're not the only ones profiting. As Wizards climb the ranks, interact with the ecosystem and perform certain tasks, we elect them to be able to make and mint their own items. Players in the game can start their own chamber and promote an nft of their own design, and take a 20% cut of the profit. This is the first NFT set to give such a huge opportunity to players.

Acquisition Strategy

The ever growing WAX and EOSIO community are our first priority. Secondarily, gamers and mainstream collectors will be our focus.

We've performed successful airdrops on our Twitter and plan to ramp this up more aggressively.

In order to continue to attract new Wizards we have a pay it forward concept called “mirroring” where we will reimburse any approved item that a Wizard gives to a new player. (Up to five items)

We have allowed the current Wizards the ability to forge items right from Telegram with the simple click of a button. This allows Wizards to interact with the WAX ecosystem while Netflixing on the couch, hitting their Wizard pipe and binge watching Breaking Bad.

Future acquisition plans involve targeting Ethereum NFT enthusiasts by demonstrating the technological prowess of the WAX ecosystem over Ethereum. Nearly feeless and lightning-fast transactions without congestion make Ethereum users an easy acquisition target. We are also considering launching a set on ETH

We will continue to implement referral systems. Part of the gameplay will continue to evolve around inviting new friends and being rewarded for that.
