Here’s a quick recap of our first AMA with the BOSS | Crypto Community. We launched our AMArathon with the Devil Boss.

Devil 😈 Boss:

Welcome 🎉 to the ama section with Starchi
I hope everyone will be excited to know about STARCHI 🤩

Moon Trips:

Thanks for having us!! Excited to share the Starchi World with your community!

Devil 😈 Boss:

Nice
Before starting the session,
Please introduce yourself to our community..

Moon Trips:

Sure! I am Angela Brasington, VP of Marketing at Starchi. I have a long history of global marketing and entrepreneurship that I bring to the team and I’ve been working with @StarterXyz since we kicked off earlier this year. I started my crypto journey in 2016 and have been having a ton of fun marketing some really interesting projects. I must say, the DeFi journey has been the most fun and working with such a credible team of people at Starter and Starchi only adds to my excitement.

Devil 😈 Boss:

Great experience 🔥
Can you tell us a bit about Starchi? Would like to learn more about What you’re going to bring.

Moon Trips:

We are going to bring SO MUCH!!! 🤩 We’ve been working on Starchi for a while now and to see it coming to life is extraordinary! Starchi is a Tamagotchi-inspired story of Hope reborn, an experience for players to nurture, battle and earn. We’ll get into more of the game and story later.

We started rolling out our marketing campaigns earlier this week, with a ton of great news and content to share. We received a grant from the Polygon Foundation last month. We closed our seed round, which was oversubscribed by 500%. We then closed our private round, also oversubscribed. We have a few weeks to go until our early November IDO and MVP. And we have some truly amazing partnerships secured that we will begin announcing soon.

Devil 😈 Boss:

Excited 🤩
Can you list some exciting features of Starchi?

Moon Trips:

Starchi Collectors are responsible for acquiring and nurturing their Starchi, preventing them from extinction, and preparing them for battle. To prepare for battle, Collectors must do the following:

1. Wake Up
2. Eat
3. Play
4. Sleep

Each Starchi possesses unique attributes and stats indicating its current state. A Starchi can possess one or more elements with a power ratio from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). Elements dictate attack vectors during battles.

1. Stats include: HP (Hit Points), Energy, Exercise, and Hygiene
2. Elements include: Neutral, Wood, Earth, Water, Fire, Metal, Animal, Poison, Undead, and Lightning

Any Starchi Collector can create a battle arena for a low fee and decide which Starchi from their collection will attend the battle. Winners collect the majority of the fee plus earnings in reward tokens.

1. Any eligible Starchi Collector can join
2. Winners earn 85% of the START token fee plus the in-game rewards token
3. 10% of the remaining START tokens goes to staking income and the last 5% is burned

Various analytics are tracked to help identify top Starchi Collectors and their Starchis. Those higher in rank can earn more wages. Key performance indicators include:

1. Oldest and healthiest Starchis in the village
2. Most active Starchi Collectors
3. Most battle wins and losses
4. Top Starchi Collectors
5. Least healthy Starchis and their Collectors

How’s that for some exciting features?! 😎

Devil 😈 Boss:

What are you trying to bring in this crypto space ? what’s your aim in this crypto space

Moon Trips:

Our aim is to bring a positive, friendly experience for players to have fun, care for their Starchi, and earn while doing so. We want to change the game, literally and figuratively, so our community gets the very most out of our game. If you look at the Starchi Story, you can see that we are trying to pick up humanity and bring it back to a happy and cheerful place. That’s not just inside the game, that’s for real life and the crypto space as well. So many people from different communities do not have the ability to stay home or even stay in their own country to work and feed their families. Our game allows people to do just that. Let’s create a better world, and a better life, for all!

Devil 😈 Boss:

Is there Any Events/Product Releases Planned For the near Future?

Moon Trips:

Yes, we will have our IDO in early November and the MVP live right after. More contests lined up as well as some other exciting things but we’ll share that soon — make sure everyone is following @StarchiAnnouncements so you don’t miss them!

Something we’re super stoked for is that staking will be live at launch. Several core Staking Income Pools exist to compensate Collectors for their hard work:

1. Stake $START to earn rewards
2. Stake $MATIC/$START or $MATIC/$ELIXIR LP to earn rewards
3. Stake in one of two modes: VESTED or LIQUID
- LIQUID — rewards subject to a 2.5% burn & no vesting
- VESTED — rewards are 2x LIQUID & subject to vesting
4. Earned rewards can be claimed as vesting START or as liquid ELIXIR in-game tokens

“Starchi is an P2E blockchain game. Most P2E games only focus on profits, as this is one of the major attractions of blockchain games. My question is, does Starchi focus more on the player experience in and out of the games to create a balance for playing and winning?”
BY : @Lidiamga

Moon Trips:

Good question! Yes, at Starchi, we are very concerned with the entire EXPERIENCE of our players. It’s not just about playing to earn, we want everyone to truly enjoy their interaction with the game, with their Starchis, battling with other Starchis, collecting and nurturing them, and equipping and preparing them for battle. Additionally, being a part of the Starchi community is where a lot of the fun takes place as well. We are very adamant about keeping our community up to date with news, releases, contests, and more to make every interaction with Starchi a great one and focus on the people that are playing our game and interacting with us.

“Acquiring Starchis implies that all Starchis can be purchased in various stages of their life from the local marketplace, whether they’re in the form of eggs, toddlers, teenagers, and adults, though, how do you boost the purchase of neglected Starchis already listed for adoption?”
BY : @Alistai89126620

Moon Trips:

We will promote neglected Starchi with fun teasers about who they could become with PROPER care and attention. We will remind everyone what you can do with healthy Starchi and all the fun that can be had and earnings to be made.

“How many characters are there in #OfficialStarchi and how the game is designed, could you tell us about the main features and give us some details of each of them, from the ways in which we can generate profits and the Marketplace that you have designed for the game?”
BY : @In_Sha_Allah78

Moon Trips:

We have many Starchi in the Starchi World and they will be introduced to the world one by one, to make sure they get the spotlight they deserve! Starchi Collectors are responsible for acquiring and nurturing Starchis from infancy to adulthood. They are also responsible for preventing the extinction of the Starchi-kind. Collectors earn wages via friendly battles to be amongst the top Collectors in their village.

Starchi collectors acquire Starchis by purchasing them in various stages from the local marketplace, as per below.

1. Freshly-minted Starchi eggs
2. Toddler, teenager, and adult Starchis listed for sale by their collectors
3. Neglected Starchis (those not well taken care of) that are listed for adoption

As mentioned earlier, any Starchi Collector can create a battle arena and compete to win as well as top leaderboards to earn even more wages.

“There are two things that interest me and intrigue me about a project, the first is ‘team expansion’. The second is the ‘marketing strategy and adoption plan.’ Can you give us more details on these two aspects of Starchi? In which work areas do you plan to expand?”
BY : @Lidiamga

Moon Trips:

The team has been carefully handpicked to ensure we have all grounds covered and never miss a beat. We are a well-oiled machine, if I do say so myself. We’ve expanded our team over the past month and are currently in a great place in that regard.

To answer your marketing strategy question, we have a massive marketing campaign filling our calendars through the next 2+ months, chock full of awesome announcements and activities for the community. We are always expanding our marketing work in order to make Starchi shine.

“We are currently in the midst of a blockchain online game business explosion, which is revolutionizing all DeFi and NFTS with its infinite value characteristics. Do you believe the games offered in #Starchi will be able to compete and keep up with a rapidly evolving market?”
BY : @bijoy_mamud

Moon Trips:

I definitely do. Our developers are the best in the game and we are constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve. The implementations we have in work for Starchi are second to none and we are truly proud to bring an amazing game to market. Along with that, we will continually release updates and innovations to our game, keeping things fresh and exciting for all players and communities.

The Tamagotchi inspiration behind the game has been well-received and there is a huge community of people that long for this type of experiential gaming. That fact that Starchi requires players to nurture and care for their Starchi brings a level of positivity to our gaming experience, unlike some of the others on the market. Also as stated earlier, we are more than just a game. We are an experience that you don’t want to miss out on.

“What is your strategy for building a strong community? Do you agree that the power of community will lead your project to develop globally? What services do you provide to the community?”
Shihad K

Moon Trips:

We very much agree with the power of community! We have partnered with some major players in the space to assist in community building, along with an army of powerful influencers and KOLs working all the time to promote the positive message of Starchi.

We are very engaged with our community, answering their questions, providing fun contests (like our current MEME contest going on now — make sure to enter!), keeping them updated with news all the time. https://twitter.com/officialstarchi/status/1448087167062925317?s=21

“For project development, the main priority is to have sufficient funds. Is your team financially able to carry [it] out? Do you have sufficient funds for development?”
Harizz Miq

Moon Trips:

Starchi is backed by Starter as well as many other high-powered and significant investors. Funds are not an issue so our bigger focus is on strategic support for all our endeavors. We have sufficient funding as well as a very qualified team in place to make Starchi go to the moon…and beyond! 🚀🌙

“What is your plan for global expansion? At present, which market [do you] focus on, or is it focused on building and growing to gain customers, users and partners?🥰”
@Anandhupnr

Moon Trips:

We are currently focused globally. Asia is a huge gaming market so we’re largely focused there as well. We are always focused on growing in all forms and the global adoption of Starchi is the main goal.

Some of the influencers we work with will be market-specific so we’re sure to reach all of the top gaming markets.

“Have you been audited’ ? Have not heard you talk about [what the] security of funds is. What [are the] plans to escape incase of insecurity if funds, scams and rug pulls ?”
Leslie sam kalloor

Moon Trips:

We will be audited by RD Auditors once the game development is complete. We’ve worked with them for a long time and both Starter and some of our projects have been audited by RD, so we’re confident in their security and you can rest assured Starchi, and your tokens, will be safe and secure.
