Team Update

We'd love to welcome: Dave Stann, Michel G., and a very familiar face on Hive (AJ) @abrockman to the advisory team. They will share their expertise with the NFT Studios/ChiFiBots team that will hopefully look over some aspects we didn't anticipate.

We're thankful for their contribution and belief.

Marketplace Update

Hooray! We've successfully created a Stacks wallet login for ChiFiBots that is able to display a users NFT collection on Stacks.

One of our favorite aspects of the Stacks Grant was we were able to use that fund to hire ExiledWolf who helped accelerate our progress and been a fantastic contributor to the team.

Another great aspect is when you connect your wallet and you do not own a Stacks wallet yet, it will link you to the Hiro wallet similar to metamask or hive keychain, so new users can create one right there and then.

There's still a lot to do with the marketplace integration, but we also had an amazing chat with the lead dev of Gamma (Stacks marketplace) and head of growth Brett, and looking forward to further collaboration.

Cards Update

The "Day One" card set is locked in and the focus shifts to the next expansion "Base Set" that will release alongside the "Day One" starter packs.

The base set introduces new cards that will be playable in the "standard battle mode" which include:

  • Object (played as many times during your turn)
  • Module (played as many times during your turn, with specific requirements)
  • Help (played once per turn)
  • Environment (played once per turn)
  • Artifact (played once per match)

Above is an example of a help card "Junk Dump" which has you discarding all the cards in your hand into the junk pile and drawing 6 fresh cards from your deck.

What's important is we've changed the background colors to help users recognise them from a distance.

Exclusive ChiFiBots Update

Hive Power

Hive Power!.png

At the start of the year we opened up pre-sales for our NFT packs. Tier 3 onwards would receive a exclusive in game ChiFiBot dedicated to the Hive community called "Hive Power."

Drawn by our community, decided by the community.

It's with great pleasure that we announce the winner of our Hive art competition as @japex1226 . We all felt the design best represented the blockchain and fun nature, whilst staying true to the art style of ChiFiBots.


Stacks

As we inch closer to mint day, it's looking like the initial idea of a "Stacks" exclusive ChiFiBot will be an option but not as a pre-sale. More than likely the team will be making it a promotional ChiFiBot for x amount of packs bought on Stacks.

Just like Hive Power, we'd be honoured if an artist from Stacks would draw the "Stacks" exclusive ChiFiBot. More info in the coming weeks about this.

Setting Up a Stacks Wallet

If you'd like to get familiar with the Stacks ecosystem, there's a fantastic blog by Gamma on:
How to Create a Stacks Wallet

You will need a Stacks wallet to receive your pre-sale packs, as well as buy new packs or buy/sell/trade ChiFiBot NFT's. We do intend on making a Stacks-Hive bridge later on, but know you'll need a Stacks wallet to interact with the game, so why not start early!

@shaddrak can attest to how great the ecosystem is on Stacks.

It's good to hear and see things coming along. Looking forward to the future.

I've been exploring Stacks for quite a while now and the ecosystem is cool. There are lots of resources available to expand your knowledge on it. They also have very interesting Liquidity Pools with STX that earn you BTC over several cycles. Good times ahead!

Stack it up!
