Iron Sail, a collective effort aimed at contributing to the development of the blockchain gaming space, will be launching an initial exchange offering (IEO) and initial decentralized exchange offering (IDO) for their latest NFT game, Ark Rivals, in collaboration with game studio, Topebox.
Launching on 22 February 2022, the IEO will be hosted on leading global digital assets exchange and crowdfunding platform, Huobi. Huobi’s IEO exchange platform, Huobi Prime, requires projects to undergo a thorough vetting process and is built for attracting investors of all sizes. By becoming an intermediary to the decentralized fundraising model, Huobi gives investors a sense of confidence and much-needed credibility.
Additionally, Ark Rivals is also conducting an IDO, which will be hosted on notable decentralized fundraising platforms – Polkastarter and KAIstarter. More IDO platforms are expected to be included further down the line and will be announced in due course.
The fundraising for Ark Rivals will reward investors with the game’s native crypto currency, the $ARKN token. Ark Rivals’ investors can use $ARKN tokens to participate in the game’s governance by creating and voting on different proposals, thus truly giving power to the players and shareholders within the game’s community.
This crowdfunding comes off the back of the successful alpha launch of Ark Rivals on 22 January, which opened 1,000 slots to registered players, giving them an early exclusive to the game. This was met with overwhelming support from the community, with almost 80,000 prospective players registering.
The $ARKN token crowdfunding is the next step in Ark Rivals’ journey towards a full launch later this year.
Tri Pham, Founder of Iron Sail, said: “The upcoming IEO, IDO and launch of the $ARKN token are significant steps forward towards realizing our vision of empowering a new generation of gamers, building strong communities that transcend borders, so together, we are able to make meaning contributions an accessible and equitable open metaverse. Iron Sail is focused on enabling game studios, helping them unlock the potential of NFTs and blockchain-based games. With Ark Rivals, we hope to introduce and empower gamers with digital ownership, while rewarding them for doing what they love doing. Topebox and their game, Ark Rivals, is looking to be an exciting experience for this and we look forward to the game’s full launch in the near future.”
Powered by the $ARKN token and developed by Topebox, Ark Rivals is a sci-fi action-strategy online multiplayer NFT game that is grounded in user-generated content (UGC). The game is free to play as well as rewarding gamers through digital ownership of NFTs and cryptocurrency. With its accessibility and dedication to mobile platforms, Ark Rivals helps to unite mainstream and crypto players within the same game and community. Ark Rivals also presents mainstream players with the opportunity to learn more about NFTs, and offers them access to large reward pools.
Ark Rivals will continue its journey with a dedicated roadmap, detailing updates and launches as the game readies itself for release. This includes an upcoming closed beta launch in the latter half of February. March brings with it the introduction of two of the games NFTs, ships and $ARKN miners, an open beta test on both iOS and Android, as well as introducing core parts of gameplay such as the collaborative Faction War and the technology upgrade system. These represent roadmap announcements for the first quarter of 2022, with many more to come throughout the rest of the year.
