- A WEB 3 ENVIRONMENT -

It connects

BLOCKCHAIN & GAMING & MARKETING

with our physical world.


While having a positive Impact.

The Flagship-Project
on the Environment:


A web3 pixel art game where in-game choices have a real-world impact & real-world experiences have in-game influence.
- Our own Pixel Art Game
"Blue Kraken Online"
Open World
Go wherever you want. Follow the story questline - or find your very own path!
Combat & Peace
Fight monsters in action-based (not turn-based!!) combats and level up fighting capabilities or increase the skills in peaceful professions (e.g. dancing). Players are rewarded with $BF tokens for performing these actions.
Novel character classes
Get $BF and other loot from combat & peace activities. $BF is used to craft more powerful equipment for your character or to upgrade existing gear.
Loot & Crafting
Swine-O-Taur, Wolfpack, Shark-Man-Man-Shark, Timetraveler - to name a few. Definitely not the common RPG triforce of Warrior, Mage and Archer.

Creating Impact & Awareness
Environmental World
Plant trees in the game, and we’ll plant trees in the real world.
Scaling to endangered species, ocean-cleaning, energy saving etc. in progress
Marketing World
Imagine BKO gamers gathering in Starbucks stores around the world because they earned a voucher in the game.
And when using the voucher their performance in the game will get enhanced.
Modularly expendable to current social topics like diversity, equality, education etc.
Social World
Players benefit when behaving consciously in Frank´s world.
Infinite possibilities of integrating brands and establishing exclusive marketing channels.
Charity
Min. 1% of revenue is donated to charity.
The community decides on the social projects and they can propose their own projects.
Doing good in the game = doing good in the real world
Main Tokens and NFT Utilities
Our tokens and NFTs have a discrete utility to incentivize players to buy and hold them.

  • $BKO Token Utility

    • Governance

    $BKO holders can vote regularly which new in-game features should be implemented next.

    To name a few: new character classes, balancing, continents, biomes, monsters, and character skins.


    • In-game crafting

    $BKO tokens can be used to increase the success rate when crafting in-game items.


    • Staking rewards

    $BKO staked in game-validator Nodes rewards $BF.

  • $BF Token Utility

    • Reward

    $BF is used as a reward given to players for slaying monsters or pursuing various peaceful professions.


    • Crafting

    $BF can be used in the game's massive on-chain-crafting system to craft for the most valuable and rarest items.


    • Buy in-game objects

    $BF can be spent directly to acquire items of certain categories, e.g. skins and pets.

  • NFT Utility

    • Game Access NFTs

    Define the starting levels for peaceful professions and provide additional perks (e.g. alpha access, mount, higher income, and many more.).


    • Guild NFTs

    Let guilds conquer areas of the gameworld and build an upgradable fortress on designated guild land. $BF rewards of guild members are shared with the guild's treasury.


    • Character NFTs

    Players can mint any of their experienced combat characters as NFTs to sell them on common marketplaces.

Tokenomics


Blue Kraken Online will operate

a dual-token economy, plus a small additional

pre-launch community token.

$BKO is the governance token of the game.

Contrarily to the short vesting cliffs for the Pre-Seed to Public rounds, the team's tokens will have a high vesting cliff of 4 years. After that period, the tokens are released slowly over several months. The length of the lock period for the team is very high, because we want to underline our immense commitment to our ecosystem.
Note: read more about unlocks in the Whitepaper!

Additionally, most of the funds raised in $BKO investment rounds will go to the project's foundation. The foundation is going to support the game's economic health and increase the amount of $BF tokens earnable by players as well as buy and burn $BKO tokens from the open market. $BKO is burned whenever players use them in crafting as well.

$BF (Blue Fuel) is the in-game token.


50% of the token supply will be sold to the public in an auction. The remaining 50% will be supplied as liquidity on DEXs, e.g. Uniswap and others, starting at the final price of the public auction. $BF tokens will not be pre-sold or pre-allocated to anyone.


The sale is planned as a public token auction with a price discovery. 100% of the funds raised in the auction are allocated as liquidity on decentralized exchanges and especially in swap pools with concentrated liquidity mechanics (Uniswap V3), concentrated around the final price of the token auction.


Thereby a price floor (price stop to the downside) for $BF is created at which all tokens from public sale could be sold back to the liquidity pool.

$BKL
The small extra Pre-Launch Loyalty token.

As we have a community with members that follow us in Telegram since early 2022, we decided to create an pre-launch token with mechanics that reward our followers with special Loyalty-NFTs that are exclusive to the Loyalty Programm and will have special usecases in our gameworld.

People that join our Loyalty Program are able to earn loyalty points spendable for NFTs by following on social media, testing our demo(later), pre-testing the crafting smartcontract and many other activities. The only other way to get these loyalty points for the loyalty-NFTs would be to buy into the $BKL and burn it. Burning $BKL rewards loyalty points on a daily basis. The $BKL token is listed on Uniswap (ETH), with 100% total supply as initial liquidity (-> see Dextools). The UI for the Loyalty mechanics to reserve the Loyalty-NFT claims on launch goes online soon.

$BKL Contract ID is 0x228Ee1332CfEC2aB1363C4a50F8B3Bc6e697F369.
