Wanted to give a short update to this tweet: https://x.com/oAcido/status/1741379682879390061
I think most users here realize 2024 was harder than we may have expected for our native token, many projects on the blockchain have had to cut funding and focus on survivability and we were not immune to it.
Things started off really well, our project received a lot of delegation support but eventually it was cut in half while the price of Hive kept dwindling making it harder to pay developers and artists with the weekly powerdowns. We had to resort to pausing the progression in certain fields and risking losing artists to the breaks but we are very happy to have gotten lucky with long-term loyal artists and devs for the game and on hive.
I personally want to thank everyone for supporting Holozing in all different ways and especially Hive itself, even at its worst it made it possible for us not only to survive but also continue to progress. Our Hive-devs have been amazing and patient in delaying their pay to make sure the project can focus the funding on game development.
With only one game-dev working on the project and the complex workings of it being implemented for an alpha game it was understandable that it would get delayed but the prices did delay things even further.
I'll update on the things listed on the tweet as a comparison.
87.3M Zing distributed
71M Zing staked
12M Zing and 35k Hive in LP
221k Hive raised through delegations
1600 social followers (hive, x, reddit (more socials to come))
1889 subscribers to our Hive community
2355 registered accounts on holozing.com with @keychain
Too many posts and fanart about Holozing to count
1602 accounts holding more than 0 zing in their hive-engine wallet
$50k marketcap
Over 40 finalized creatures, 6 finalized healers, 40 finalized items, 16 finalized 3D creatures
Closed alpha on the horizon
Starter Vial sale coming right up
Beta with real nfts and PVP earnings planned for Q1 2025
We're glad to see a reversal in the markets and hoping for up only soon to speed up development and allow us to invite more devs and helpers to the team. While we aren't too focused on the price of Zing at this time since it doesn't speed up development due to its fairly launched nature, we're looking forward to how it will perform once the game is live and burning of zing comes into play!
If you haven't registered on the holozing website yet, I left a link with my referral. The thing about launching a fair gaming token where founders and team have to buy into it themselves if they want to partake is that we gotta make due with referral links when we can. ^^
Thanks to everyone who's placed me under their referral, appreciate it and looking forward to see this take life! Been a long year but I'm sure there's a greener period awaiting us all in the near future!
