Q&A from KuCoin
Q: What is Pikaster? Can you share with us more in detail?
Luffy: Pikaster is a card battle P2E game with the goal to create a "Truly-play& Truly-Earn" Game through innovative product features to bring players both extraordinary gaming experience and handsome economic returns. Pikaster was strategically invested by KuCoin and launched IGO on it as the first project on April 11.
Four major features make Pikaster the game-changer:
1. More ways of gameplay
In addition to the common PVP and PVE, Pikaster also designed a variety of entertainment methods such as World Trees, BOSS challenges, etc.
2. In-game wallet and marketplace in the App
The product design that has never been seen in other Game-fi projects makes the operation of the entire game and the transaction in the game much easier and safer.
3. Creative Three-Token Economic Model
One governance token plus two game tokens are all issued in limited quantities. Adjusting the release-consumption relationship in one token to alleviate the problems caused by inflation of another might be the most efficient means to protect the long-term benefits of players
4. Profit-Sharing System
Pikaster provides various methods such as staking, referral, leasing, and community dividends so that friends who participate in community construction in any way can benefit from the platform.
Q: Why did you choose KuCoin?
Luffy: I would like to thank KuCoin for the trust in our Pikaster team.
KuCoin has always been very focused on the interests of its users and on projects that may have great value in the future.
First of all, our philosophy is the same. We all believe that the current Game-fi has relatively big problems in terms of products and economic models, and it isn't easy to attract more people to participate.
Second, we all share the belief that community is an extremely critical part of our development.
Finally, after they get an in-depth understanding of our product philosophy and our creative economic model, collaboration becomes easy.
Q: Since the IGO Round 1 is finished, can you tell us more about the IGO Round 2?
Luffy: Yup! I think everyone is excited for IGO today, and in less than 1 hour to go extra round will begin.

These two purchase links are different. NFTs are sold on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
Q: How can the players earn from these NFTs?
Luffy: First, those who have our NFTs can use NFTs to play the game. In-game version 1, which will be released in May, there will be four gameplays. In addition to the traditional PVP and PVE gameplay, we also developed new gameplays, such as Boss challenges and world trees. The variety of gameplay will bring more money to the players.
Second, besides playing the game, your NFTs can also be listed on our rental market. For players with extra NFTs, more money can be made by renting.
Third, our NFT can be traded on our official marketplace. Two NFTs can breed one new NFT by using RBS, SRBS, and MLS. All these NFTs can be sold on our official market to make money.
Our official marketplace will be opened today. This means you can trade here after buying.
All in all, there are many ways for players to make money through Pikaster. So, don’t miss the IGO on KuCoin.
Q: How many NFTs do users need to play the game?
Luffy: To play the game, at least 3 NFTs are required. But There are five battle positions, of which two Pikasters are substitutes. Players can be more flexible in adjusting their positions as well as the order. So 5 NFTs can make your team more powerful and more flexible and gain more earnings.
In PVP gameplay, there is a Stamina mechanism. Your stamina is based on the number of NFTs.
1 point stamina will be used in each PVP, which means the stamina determines your PVP rewards. This is the key point for earning.
Q: How about the payback period?
Luffy: This is the most important for all players. Based on our calculations, if you have 3 NFTs, the payback period is expected to be about 46 days.
If you have 5 normal-quality NFTs, the payback period is expected to be about 37 days.
If you have 5 higher-quality NFTs, the payback period is expected to be about 34 days.
If you have 10 NFTs, the payback period is expected to be about 33 days.
If you have 15 NFTs, the payback period is expected to be about 31 days.
All the expected payback periods are calculated based on the initial price of RBS, SRBS, and MLS. It’s not fixed.
But if you participate in IGO successfully, the payback period will be shorter.
If you can be the top player in the PVP season, your payback period will be shorter cause there is a large amount of MLS as bonuses.
Q: Do users need to have KYC to participate in Pikaster IGO on KuCoin? What are the requirements for taking part in IGO? And what are the methods of depositing fiat on KuCoin to take part in IGO?
Luffy: You don't need to have KYC to participate in IGO on KuCoin. But if you want to deposit fiat currencies to KuCoin, the KYC is required. In addition, KuCoin Fiat trading currently supports the depositing services for more than 20 fiats, including USD, EUR, and AUD.

NFTs are sold on a "first-come, first-served" basis in the extra round and round 2.
