⚡️ New Games Coming Soon!

🗣As we continue to prioritize the development of our decentralized ad network and AI-powered marketplace, we're also excited to introduce a variety of new games that are disconnected from the main reward system. These games offer users a chance to earn big and provide another use case for the IGU token. Let's take a look at what's in store for Iguanas:

🕹The Mystery Of Likes
This guessing game allows users to earn by tapping into their taste. Determine the popularity of the most creative and well-designed NFTs and get a share of the pool.

🕹The Beauty Pageant
The best-looking NFTs will get the biggest prize. Upvote NFTs of other users and use your most creative one to show what you're capable of.

😎 But that's not all! We have more games in the pipeline, including NFT Royale and Breeder's Bounty. We can't wait to share more details about these exciting games.

💱The economy of all games will be organized using the pool model outlined in the Whitepaper. This model is sustainable, and the PvP approach allows for better outcomes for the most skilled users. Before introducing the new solutions, we want to shift the focus to these sustainable games from the old reward system. The old system should be viewed as a version of long-term hold before the release of the new products.

✈️ The IGU token will benefit from these changes, as the reward pools will be taxed with commission fees. Additionally, we expect an increase in IGU turnover as more people will have an incentive to trade it.

❕ These games will be gradually rolled out, so don't expect them all to be available at once.

More exciting news is on the way 👀

⚡️A sneak-peek into the The Like Mystery

⏺ We've long had the functionality of likes and dislikes in the app. Well, now you'll learn about the first utility for them.

🎮 We are excited to announce that PvP games will soon be available in our app! In this series, we'll introduce you to the gameplay and mechanics of these games, starting with The Like Mystery.

🗣The Like Mystery is a guessing game that challenges users to guess the number of likes for a given NFT. To play, users must commit a certain amount of IGU tokens to the reward pool before the game begins.

❕ In each round, players will make guesses about five different NFTs. Users will be presented with several options, each representing a range of possible likes. The game will pair each user with a random opponent who will go through the same process.

💰If a user makes more correct guesses than their opponent, they will win the rewards from the pool. If there is no clear winner, the committed stake will be returned to the players.

❗️This is a mere presentation of the game concept. The realization of the game is subject to change.

⚖️ The pool model employed in the design of the upcoming games is superior to traditional GameFi models. It has proven to be a sustainable and effective way for users to enjoy playing and earning rewards.

👀 More details to follow soon!

⚡️The AI-powered Marketplace: Concept Overview

🕹Finding external sources of revenue has been an important task for our project since we committed to building a blockchain app to bring a new audience to crypto. The idea of an AI-powered marketplace has been floated since the very release of the app, and we spent a lot of time conceptualizing it and discussing the possible pros and cons of such a solution, as well as fleshing out the idea and building the necessary basic infrastructure. Now that we're determined to bring this concept to life, we would like give our users an overview of the concept, as well as discuss the potential benefits of this solution.

❕ The marketplace we're building has the flavour of all the features we've created so far — it is a feature so grandiose that it is more akin to an ecosystem. This solution combines the strengths of three features:

⏺ a regular marketplace similar to OpenSea or Magic Eden that have proven to be successful models with a large revenue;
⏺ an AI-powered NFT creation engine that is meant to provide users the tools for the creation of art and art collections without the meticulous work needed for art creation now;
⏺a promotion feature that adds to the novelty and the competitive success of that project and solves the problem of the immense distance between the creator and the buyers — it is meant to facilitate NFT art reaching its prospective audiences and potential buyers;

🗂 According to Token Terminal, OpenSea has earned more than $260 millions in revenue in the past 365 days that went to the development of the project. We believe in the success of the community-focused solutions, where early adopters and project supporters receive a large chuck of the revenue. That's why in the model we opted for our community will receive a share of revenue from holding tokens and owning Genesis NFT (these are your Playable Character NFTs!).

❗️It is important that the fate of the project does not hinge on the success of the new, more novel features of the marketplace — although we believe they will be pretty much a success — creating a marketplace is already an established revenue source that has proved to work.

✔️ The AI engine is the feature that makes the product attractive for regular users that would rather use a user-friendly and convenient app that empowers them and creates new opportunities for them. It is well-understood by the key players in the industry. Recently Binance announced that they are integrating an AI creation engine, Bicasso, into their own marketplace. Exchanges know well how to attract new users — this is a step that helps them grow by making it more convenient for users to create art. Another notable example of an NFT marketplace success that really builds on the notion of convenience is Blur, which, according to The Block, has closed the funding round at a valuation of $1 billion.

✔️ However, the key original feature which will bring success to the future IguVerse marketplace is promotion, which works in conjunction with the other solution we seek to launch — a decentralized ad network. Now NFT creators don't have a chance to find potential buyers from their collections without organizing their own marketing campaigns and building speculative hype. It is widely known that it is impossible to live off NFT art without heavily investing into community and social media building, as well as being involved with the NFT folks. This is the reason why most beginner NFT artists fail — it's hard to do all of that without huge investments or prior recognizability. The crowd-sourced promotion feature of the IguVerse marketplace challenges this standard.

🔔Want to learn more about it? Well, stay tuned. Exciting news to come soon.

⚡️IguVerse To Obtain Government-Approved License In An Undisclosed Country

😎 As part of our efforts to expand into Asian markets, we are in the process of obtaining a government license in a key country to increase IguVerse's influence in the region. We are confident that the license will be granted and will make an official announcement once the process is complete. This move has the potential to mark a new era for IguVerse, especially if timed well with the launch of our upcoming products.

❕ Currently, we are developing PvP games that incentivize users to earn by challenging each other, as well as an internal marketplace for IguVerse NFTs (not to be confused with the upcoming external marketplace). The games will also have a significant impact on the users' earnings by substantially increasing them. In addition, we have plans to launch a decentralized ad network and an AI-powered marketplace in the future.

✈️ We are excited about the potential for this move to drive unprecedented growth for IguVerse. Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon!

⚡️Unlock Increases After PvP Update

🦎 On track for better unlocks

💰We're excited to share that we've been hard at work on a new PvP Upgrade. This upgrade is designed to provide you with better returns and an opportunity to earn rewards that are separate from the main reward system. Additionally, this upgrade will help us to expand into new markets and attract new users to the app.

💯 Despite PvP games being separate from the main reward system, we have included a significant benefit for NFT owners. Those who possess NFTs will not only have the opportunity to earn more in the games, they will also enjoy a higher unlock rate based on their activity in PvP games. An NFT is key to improved returns! So, the more you play, the better the unlock you'll receive. To ensure fair competition, we'll divide users into tiers based on their PvP volume, with higher tiers receiving better unlocks. We'll also take into account special user characteristics we'll talk more about in the future.

🏖️ We'll provide all the details about the upgrade after the PvP games are released. Keep an eye out for more information.

🕰 Approximate release date: April 5 — April 15

🗣Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait to see you in the arena!

⚡️A sneak-peek into the NFT Evolution game

🕹In this post series, we've provided a general overview of the upcoming games and offered a detailed description of the Mystery of Likes. Now, it's time to introduce NFT Evolution, a game where mutations work in your favour.

✈️ Do you want to enhance your existing NFTs' Rank, or reach a locked Rank that cannot be obtained through purchasing? NFT Evolution offers you the opportunity to do so! It's an exciting game of chance where breeding two NFTs will produce another NFT with a certain probability. The NFT will be minted with a huge discount!

❗️ Don't worry; the NFT parents will not vanish into thin air! When you breed two NFTs, you'll receive three NFTs in return: the two original ones and a newly created NFT.

✖️ According to our current plans, the probability distribution will favour higher rank NFTs, though there is a low chance of getting a lower Rank.

😎 We've also added a creative twist to our AI. Inspired with your creations, it will generate four versions of an image based on your NFTs, and you can choose the best one.

🍸 All future games will utilize VIGU (essentially IGU) — a clear use case for the token that will undoubtedly contribute to its demand.

👀 We have much more to cover! Stay tuned for further updates on our upcoming games.

⚡️The Mystery Of Likes update is here

🕹 The work on The Mystery Of Likes is complete, and the update has already hit stores. In addition to being our first PvP game release, The Mystery Of Likes update includes several enhancements to the overall game experience: bug fixes, a separate wallet for PvP games and much more!

🧐 The Mystery of Likes is a PvP guessing game where players must choose the number of likes for each individual NFT. With each round, users will clash by going through 5 NFTs, and the one who guesses better will win the game. To participate, players must stake a certain amount of IGU tokens. The winner takes it all!

👀 This is the first game in a series of four where players can challenge others and earn tokens outside the main reward system. Moreover, playing PvP games will also increase your unlock very soon!

🥺 Our team is also working on another update that will be released within the next two weeks. This update will increase your unlock based on your activity in the game. We will examine the game stats and adjust the parameters of the update accordingly to ensure that you have the best experience possible.

✈️This is only the beginning of our PvP odyssey — an epic journey to the new IguVerse. And we shall sail now!

⚡️The Decentralized Ad Network: Concept Overview

🤩 This post marks the end of a series in which we've outlined the solutions we've been building since the beginning of the year. Our aim is to create a new profit-oriented, sustainable economic model that's supported by external revenue sources. You can find the basic idea behind our solutions here and learn about the AI Marketplace here. Now, let's dive into our latest concept: the decentralized ad network.

😎 Advertising can be tough. The modern ad industry has chosen the path of invasive advertising with omnipresent banners and "in your face" intrusiveness. However, people are becoming more and more apathetic towards ads, developing the protective mechanism of banner blindness. We believe that there's still a way to make ads effective, and that's through decentralization!

🟢 We propose to use what has already shown its effectiveness as a means of promoting our app - the social task in our app that has let our membership skyrocket manifold in several weeks. This example of "word-of-mouth" advertising, where microbloggers with audiences ranging from a few close friends to thousands of people effectively promote a product due to the high trust built in such communities.

💼 What if we could make an industry out of this? That's exactly what IguVerse is trying to do. Imagine that Pet ID is now an ad of a random company that paid for promotion. For the end user of the app, that's the only difference.

💱 This model is perfectly sustainable, as rewards come from client companies that pay for advertising. We only take a small commission for maintaining the platform, while most of the payment goes to users who post those ads.

🕹 The decentralization aspect of this is also important. We want the process of placing an ad request by the company and sharing the ad by users to be as independent of a single central entity as possible. That's why we need to create a blockchain platform that follows all the rules of decentralization, making the ad placement process easy and simple.

✈️ So, this is what it comes down to - a lot of hard work and patience, and we'll pull through.

⚡️Open User Profiles

🌐 At IguVerse, our mission is not just to build a sustainable Web 3 ecosystem, but also to enhance social interaction within the app. To achieve this, we're working on creating user profiles, which will encourage a competitive spirit and allow players to learn more about each other.

❕ The user profiles will include data such as the user's address (with some big news on that coming soon!), their statistics, NFTs, and more. We're also developing the ability for users to invite each other to duels in game rooms and battle it out in groups. Although the system is still under development, we plan to release it soon after some of our other upcoming updates.

❗️Don't forget, our referral system works for PvP games as well! In addition to the mint discount, you can earn extra tokens from your referrals. Both deposits and commissions of your referrals will give you 1% from indirect referrals and 2% from direct referrals. And there's also a 5% deposit bonus!

⏺ We understand that many of you are eagerly awaiting some other updates, and we want to assure you that they are currently being developed and analyzed. Stay tuned for more exciting news!

⚡️Unlock Increase Redefined

🧐 We have been carefully examining the feasibility of implementing an unlock increase and, in the process of discussion, decided to give this update a new form. This is the optimal formula for the changes we've outlined preciously. So, what will the update look like?

🕹 The player activity in the game will still play a crucial role in defining the player's benefits from the update. However, the rewards themselves will be framed as PvP bonuses unrelated to the unlock.

❕ How does it function? The system will award additional rewards based on your performance in PvP games, with the rewards being proportional to your turnover. These rewards will be deposited directly into your gaming wallet. If you possess an alive NFT and get more than 60 energy a day, you will automatically qualify for this bonus simply by participating in the games! The bonuses will be given out daily based on the previous day's stats.

🕰 At present, this is a tentative, temporary measure with no set end date. Nevertheless, we are considering making it permanent!

🗣 The PvP bonuses described here will come out in the next update which is releasing really soon.

🤩 Keep playing our PvP mode and claim your share of the hidden PvP treasure stash!

⚡️A New Socialize-to-earn

🦎 Iguanas!

🕹We're excited to announce the latest upgrade to our socialize-to-earn task and to give you all the details.

❕ Firstly, we want to ensure that our coverage is as comprehensive as possible. Therefore, all users must attach the app link to their story in order for the task to be considered complete. The link will be available during the sharing step. If a user shares Pet ID without the link, verifiers must mark the task as incomplete and label it as "Pet ID not found."

🗣We've also given the templates for Pet ID a complete makeover, making them more visually appealing. The templates now include a designated space for the link, which seamlessly fits with the style and design of Pet ID.

❗️The PvP bonus, as well as NFT Evolution are to be released in the next update coming this week followed by the social task upgrade outlined here.

⚡️ New Update with Massive Additions is Here!

😳 We know you've been eagerly awaiting game updates, and now we're thrilled to announce that a substantial update, featuring two major releases and numerous enhancements, is finally here. Let's dive into the details.

🗣NFT Evolution

Enhance your NFT collection with unique pets! Simply select a pair of NFTs and breed a new one with a random Rank. Note that your original NFTs will remain available in your collection.

🗣PvP Bonus

An increased unlock rate in a new suit. Engage in PvP matches and earn extra tokens, proportional to your activity level. This functions similarly to the unlock increase, but the rewards will be deposited into your Gaming Wallet.

🗣The update also includes:

- Bug Fixes
- Stability Improvements
- Gaming Wallet Enhancements

⚡️IguVerse enters into a partnership with DWF Labs

🤯 We are excited to announce that IguVerse will receive long-term financial support from Web 3 powerhouse DWF Labs. This collaboration involves a substantial contribution in the seven-figure range, which will provide the resources needed for the ongoing operation of our app, as well as the development of new solutions, including a decentralized ad network and an AI-powered NFT Marketplace.

✈️ This significant milestone marks a turning point for our project and our dedicated community, enabling a seamless and more efficient transition towards the new IguVerse ecosystem. Our commitment to creating innovative platforms for native and trustworthy advertising will now be bolstered by the ample resources essential for achieving long-term success. As a natural progression, the solutions under development will generate external revenue streams, which in turn will strengthen our existing gamified ecosystem.

⚡️Introducing the Internal Marketplace: The Latest Installment in Our Update Series

🔔 We are excited to announce our plans to launch an internal marketplace in an upcoming update. Let's delve into its features and understand how it differentiates from the AI-powered marketplace scheduled for release at a later date.

❕ The internal marketplace will serve as a platform where you can buy and sell your NFTs. However, only IguVerse NFTs will be allowed for trade. This marketplace will boast an array of functionalities including placing orders, browsing, analyzing NFT stats, reviewing transaction history, and more. Notably, even while your NFTs are listed for sale, you will retain the ability to utilize them!

👨‍💻 Our intention is to make this marketplace the exclusive platform for trading our NFTs. We aim to streamline this process and make it as user-friendly as possible, eliminating the need for you to navigate the potential risks of external marketplaces.

✈️ In contrast, the AI-powered marketplace, our more extensive release, is designed as a multifunctional platform independent of the app. It will enable users to trade any NFTs. This marketplace will offer advanced browsing functionality, AI generation tools, and a promotional feature to effectively advertise users' collections. This is a significant project, and the development of the internal marketplace will undoubtedly expedite the development of its more extensive counterpart.

⚡️New Update Out! The Internal Marketplace Ready To Take Its First Orders.

🏖️ The feature you've all been eagerly anticipating is finally here in the app — we've launched the internal marketplace. Upon its release, it boasts complete marketplace functionality and is designed to offer a seamless and user-friendly experience tailored specifically to the needs of the IguVerse community. Let's delve into what this update encompasses.

🗣The Internal Marketplace

This is an in-app marketplace crafted exclusively for trading IguVerse NFTs. Placing an order, browsing, and checking NFT stats and history and more — everything is available at your fingertips. Take a look at this marvel of technology and make your first order!

❗️Due to App Store policies, the marketplace will only be available in the Android and Web versions of the app. For your convenience, we've implemented a button leading to Web App in the iOS version.

🗣User Onboarding Enhancement

To further facilitate the user onboarding process, we've added some intuitive screens, aimed at assisting new users navigate through our app.

🗣New Socialize-To-Earn

The update comes with a huge visual improvement of the social task templates. What's more, the logic of the social task is now different as well. Users need to attach the link to the app in their stories. If not done, verifiers should choose "Pet ID not found."

🗣Bug Fixes

We've addressed and rectified the most annoying issues that have been troubling our users recently.

⚡️The Great Reset: Renewing The Leaderboard

😎 The introductions of PvP games has radically changed the nature of competition in the app. Naturally, a redesign of the leaderboard would bolster the competitive spirit among Iguanas, so we went for it right away. Today, it is almost done being developed and we're ready to present it to you!

💼 In addition to the daily task completion leaderboard, we are introducing a novel tab. Here, PvP enthusiasts can boast off their progress, featuring turnover, PNL, and the total number of games played. By the way, brace yourself for another exciting feature in the app that promises to render your position on the leaderboard even more unique 👀

✈️ What truly elevates this experience is the forthcoming ability to explore user profiles directly on the leaderboard! Consequently, your efforts to excel in PvP games will not only bring rewards but fame.

‼️One last thing though. Due to this complete redesign, current stats will be reset. This is a small thing that will make the redesign possible.

📣 Our competition-themed update is just round the corner. Don't let it take you by surprise 🍸
