Joint Proposal: Age of Chronos & NFT Bridges on Astar Network/Soneium
To the Members of the Main Council and Community Council,
With this joint proposal, SFY Labs and NFT Bridges @ilan ask you to evaluate a project that is more than just a video game; it’s a strategic initiative for the entire Astar ecosystem. We ask the Main Council to reconsider its position in light of this new proposal and the Community Council to evaluate everything we have discussed in recent weeks, taking into account the will of the community and the potential of Age of Chronos (AOC) as a tool to increase interaction on Astar and as a bridge to Soneium for the next saga.
We hope this proposal will be accepted by at least one of the two councils.
We’ve had several calls with the NFT Bridge team and structured our idea as best we can to change your mind.
The Vision: An Interoperable Bridge for the Future of Gaming
Astar Network is at the forefront of Web3 innovation. This collaboration aims to create a practical and interactive demonstration of interoperability, uniting technology, storytelling, and the strong spirit of our community.
At the heart of it all is Age of Chronos (AOC), a role-playing game (RPG) that transforms NFTs into evolving heroes. Combined with the infrastructure of NFT Bridges, we are not just creating a game, but an adventure that travels between different blockchains. Our goal is to demonstrate that digital assets can move freely, evolve, and thrive beyond the boundaries of a single chain.
Our Work Plan
The project is divided into several phases, with the goal of launching a complete gaming experience that leads to a cross-chain migration.
The journey begins on Astar, where we will launch Age of Chronos with smart contracts for NFTs, an on-chain progression system, and the first playable adventures. Time-limited epic dungeons will be created to challenge players, who can earn the exclusive “Teleporter” NFT. This NFT is not just a trophy, but the key to the subsequent phases of the project.
The “Teleporter” NFT will open the portal for the Great Migration through NFT Bridges, a crucial moment that will allow players to transfer their heroes from Astar to Soneium. This migration is not just a feature, but the first true cross-chain saga in blockchain gaming, which will bring the Astar spirit to new chains, amplifying our reach and reputation.
Upon arrival on Soneium, the adventure will continue with a new saga and global campaigns. Every player who migrates will participate in monthly raffles with rewards in $TLPT tokens, distributed fairly via Chainlink VRF. Special badges and exclusive items will honor players as pioneers of interoperability.
Funding Breakdown
-
$30,000 for Age of Chronos:
-
Expansion of on-chain logic, character progression, and development of the first levels.
-
Creation of exclusive dungeons and the “Teleporter” NFT.
-
Marketing campaigns to increase adoption and visibility.
-
-
$10,000 for NFT Bridges:
-
Implementation of RMRK NFT bridging between Astar and Soneium.
-
Integration of Chainlink VRF for transparent raffles.
-
Informational campaigns for the community on $TLPT incentives.
-
There will be a total of four milestones, with the last one focusing on the bridge we discussed earlier.
SFY will integrate everything needed for this phase into the current milestones.
Conclusion: Writing the Legend Together
This proposal is an invitation to adventure, not just a simple funding plan. With your support, we can:
-
Launch a blockchain-native RPG that grows and thrives on Astar.
-
Demonstrate the true potential of interoperability in a tangible way for players.
-
Position Astar as the benchmark for cross-chain gaming in Web3.
This collaboration is just one of many possibilities once the game is live. In fact, since the game is based on dungeons with different maps and exploration, we could, at the request of the councils, also create ongoing events or unique gaming weekends, interacting with other projects and communities.
We have the concrete ability to create the game, there is no doubt about that. We have already created a saga on Moonbeam, and we will certainly have the ability to create sagas on other networks as well, with the goal of cross-chain. NFT Bridge will be a future ally for much more.
We have discussed and presented our work with three public referendums, refining and improving everything you asked of us. The public referendum to date has expressed incredible community support; it is not an adequate means of supporting teams seriously interested in developing. It could be done in the future with a higher voter quorum, but not today. Suggesting the public referendum as a governance test is fine, but suggesting that we, or any other team, commit time, resources, and money to developing on Astar in the public referendum at this time is essentially utopian.
We are taking the public referendum vote as an aid in supporting a YES vote in the evaluation of the following proposal, and we will not get into polemical and sterile discussions about voter confidence.
Astar needs community movement and events, and this proposal allows for exactly that.
We hope to receive a response as soon as possible, considering all the efforts made by the team, and that many others can participate in this discussion.
