Hello Astar community,
Greeting from Mones team! I am Jack, Project Manager of Mones. We’d like to apply for the Astar dApp Staking listing!
I. Project Overview: Mones Astar
Mones is an NFT game, in tactical turn-based RPG game genre, which challenges players through a new unique mechanism called Time Stop. Specifically, players can stop all ongoing activities to strategize battle to adjust or control any character in the formation.
Mones on-chain feature is published on Oxalus Platform (http://oxalus.io).
Mones is currently running on BNB Chain, published on App Store and Google Play Store, and we are going to release a new server on the same existing installation. It will be for Astar Network and Astar users. We called Astar server in Mones is “Mones Astar”, in short.
-
With the tagline: Here for the Play-Own-Earn revolution, Mones has compelling competitive advantages compared with other NFT games in the market:
-
Superior game design with high-quality 3D graphics & gameplay. Actually, Mones is a remake of the traditional game called Ceres M that was released years ago, to ensure a complete gameplay experience, not the type of click-to-earn games (we have the right from Neoul Entertainment Game Studio).
-
Social-driven features:
a. In-game chat
b. Guild: This is a feature that has just been released in the game. Any player can create a new Guild or join an existing Guild. Members in Guild will contribute Taxes (which are deducted automatically when players passed any stage in Adventure mode). Guild owners will use this Tax to upgrade features in Guild, helping to increase the overall strength of all members.
c. Profile Visit: Players can visit other players’ profiles to see all Heroes that other players own (including Equipment), making Mones more transparent than ever.
d. In-game Mailbox: Players can send messages to each other through the in-game mailbox.
e. Friends: Players can make friends and send Honor to each other daily. Honor is an in-game currency for summoning stronger heroes for free.
… and many more interesting social features… -

II. Our Mission & Vision
With the success of Ceres M - the traditional version of Mones, we decided to convert it into a web3 game on blockchain named Mones with the mission to “Make NFT game great again” and the vision of onboarding both web2 and web3 users worldwide.
Mones has gone through a development phase on BNB Chain, has a certain set of users, and after reviewing all previous data, we determined that Japan is one of the most potential markets for Mones. By developing a separate server for Astar Network but on the same installation (which was released on both App Store and Google Play Store), Mones players on BNB Chain can be navigated through Astar Network very easily, thereby increasing the number of users for Astar Network.
Mones Astar will have an Online Checkin feature (this is the page on BNB Chain: Mones Daily Checkin | Oxalus.io for example). Checkin Online is a very important feature that helps onboard web2 users to web3, by giving incentives for users to interact with smart-contract to check-in. We hope that becoming a member of Astar Network is an extremely important milestone, helping Astar Network become more widely known, as well as being the first springboard for us to join Japan market.

V. dApp Staking Reward Usage
Rewards from dApp Staking will be used only for rewards in Arena mode. Mones team does not withhold any reward from dApp Staking. When there is a specific number from the reward from dApp Staking, we will have a dynamic notification to update this number in real-time right in Mones Astar for all players to understand.
VI. Usage of ASTR Token in Mones Astar
At all in-game use-cases such as Evolving Hero, Crafting, and Searching for an opponent in the Arena mode, players can use ASTR tokens instead of using Diamond (purchased through In-App Purchase).
To be able to deposit ASTR tokens into Mones Astar, players will need to prepare ASTR tokens on AstarEVM, then visit https://oxalus.io/game/gateway?game=mones-astar, connect wallet and make a deposit ASTR into smart-contract - this data will be updated to the balance in the game.
Players can also use ASTR Tokens to buy NFT Chests (Hero and Equipment) on-chain. In detail, you can refer to the original Mones chest sale page here: https://oxalus.io/chest-sale/mones. The number of ASTR tokens will be updated automatically and pegged to the USD price.

Thank you for your support and Happy New Year!
I am wondering if users on BSC could bridge their heroes and items on Astar easily, or it is better to start the game from scratch again?
Will wait for Your reply
