Miko: Puffverse is a hybrid Web2/Web3 project behind a new 3D gaming metaverse designed to revolutionize the mobile casual gaming industry. We aim to connect Web3 innovation to Web2 reach, starting with the PuffGo party game and expanding into an entire ecosystem of dApps and products built on the Ronin blockchain.

First, we have PuffGo, an on-chain multiplayer royale party game, similar in gameplay to the Stumble Guys or Fall Guys. PuffGo rewards users who actively play in the game by integrating an NFT economy into the gameplay.

Another part of the Puffverse ecosystem is PuffLand, which is a UGC workshop for the PuffGo game. PuffLand allows users to create, customize, and publish new maps and game mods for PuffGo, adding versatility to maps and gameplay in the game.

Next, we have Pufftown, an all-in-one control panel for all assets related to Puffverse. Pufftown displays players’ game records, achievements, as well as enables users to manage their assets and wallets for gaming purposes.

And coming soon, we have Puffworld, a gaming metaverse designed to connect players across all the Puffverse’s ecosystem games. Puffworld will support UGC and AI-generated content for a more holistic virtual world powered by our cloud gaming platform.

Q: What are Puffverse's advantages in an increasingly competitive Web3 landscape?

Miko: Created in 2022, Puffverse has since secured the support of some of the biggest names in both Web2 and Web3.

From the start, Puffverse was supported by Xiaomi, one of the biggest phone and smart device companies in the world, and our team had extensively worked with Xiaomi and Alibaba, another Web2 giant.

On the Web3 side, we secured investments from some of the biggest names in Web3 gaming, such as Animoca Brands, Ronin, Sky Mavis, and more. Our partnerships deliver us great growth opportunities. For instance, Xiaomi is planning to create a gaming hub in the future, where Puffverse will be quickly accessible to all Xiaomi phones and across the 600+ million users of Xiaomi devices.

Aside from our partnerships, Puffverse has been building since 2022 with Web2 audiences, giving us great traction to move to Web3 for a better, more rewarding experience, while still maintaining the reach that we have with Web2. As proof of our reach, our apps are on IOS, Google Play, and Xiaomi app store.

Q: Can you tell us more about PuffGo the game and how people can earn from it?

Miko: PuffGo is an on-chain multiplayer royale party game that allows players to earn while having fun. The game contains several levels and gameplay modes that offer players a choice of matchups from solo to multiplayer.

The game aims to allow players to operate various game characters, and provide players with an intriguing and differentiated game experience by trying out diverse themes and levels with varied costumes. We have multiple main characters with distinguishable personalities and nonidentical appearances, each with their own story and customized skills or attributes that play to their strengths in different application scenarios.

There are many ways to gainfully participate in the Puffverse economy via PuffGo. First, you can get an NFT that you can use in our Seasons, where you can compete for a prize pool and play-to-earn. No issue if you are a beginner, you can grind your way towards earning an NFT that you can use in the game as well. You can earn $PFVS and other in-game items by participating in PuffGo’s seasons and upcoming features and promos.

We believe that the Party Game segment is a potentially lucrative field within GameFi. For comparison, Stumble Guys and Fall Guys have reached a total of over 200 million downloads with $20–50M in revenue. Hence, the success of these Party Game projects sets the pace and injects great faith for Puffverse to develop across both Web3 and Web2. For the purpose of building a healthy and sustainable game model with Web2 & Web3, acquiring more users via localization & Independent platforms in Web2, and building upon the Web3 users.

Q: What is $PFVS and how does its tokenomics work?

Miko: $PFVS is used as a circulating token for major paid scenarios throughout the Puffverse, allowing users to consume $PFVS such as for PuffGo Passes purchasing to join PuffGo League, for game props, for UGC editing, for cloud-gaming power purchasing, etc. Not only does it motivate and encourage users to actively engage in the Puffverse ecosystem, but it also rewards developers who contribute to the development of the game.

Aside from these functions, $PFVS allows you to get some vePUFF, the governance token in Puffverse. vePUFF may also be obtained as a reward by engaging with certain PuffGo games. Most importantly, vePUFF contributes to the governance of the Puffverse ecosystem as it allows holders to vote in the Puff DAO.

PFVS and vePUFF can be converted to each other at a fixed rate, 100:1, which means 100 PFVS can be locked as 1 vePUFF to share rewards and get voting power. Also, note that the duration of holding the vePUFF and the amount of vePUFF that one has will be taken into account for reward distribution. PFVS and vePUFF are both important tokens in the Puffverse ecosystem, and they are closely related to each other.

Q: What's the overall vision for Puffverse?

 

Miko: At Puffverse, we envision the creation of a virtual gaming ecosystem that exhibits the best of both Web2 and Web3.

On the gaming front, PuffGo is just the beginning. Other than PuffGo, we do have more different games in stock, such as card strategy, MMORPG, etc. They will all come with their IP, digital assets, and more, patterned after the success and lessons we gained from PuffGo.

These upcoming games further enrich the experience that the Puffverse ecosystem is already providing. And since these games can be played by both Web2 and Web3 players, we do have fiat income out of them, and part of the net profit will be used to buy back $PFVS tokens, rewarding our community of gamers further.

On the tech side, we envision the creation of an AIGC + UGC system for Puffworld, our upcoming virtual world. UGC is User-Generated Content, which our community will create to add value to the overall platform, with incentives for these participants of course. To supplement any gaps that may be missed by UGC, we’re also using AI technology to create an AI-Generated Content system to fully supplement whatever’s missing from the UGC-created assets. With the combination of AIGC and UGC, we’re able to create a more holistic virtual world for gaming, social interactions, and more.

With the foundations we have built since 2022, plus the launch of the $PFVS token, the economic systems are in place for the Puffverse ecosystem, we just need to build bigger on top of it.


Q: Now that the $PFVS token is launched, what's next for Puffverse?

 

Miko: Alongside the recent TGE of $PFVS, the Puffverse team has also launched PuffGo Official League Season 1. It runs until 10 June 12PM UTC. Puff NFT holders (PuffGenesis type) will get free chances to join the official PuffGo game plus power boost-ups (for vePUFF).

Also, we are launching the Puff Onboarding Carnival, which will serve as a grand introduction for new players of PuffGo. More details are coming soon, but I’m pretty sure it will be rewarding to our new Puff players!

And of course, we have the ongoing  KuCoin Gem Pool: Stake $KCS, $USDT or $PFVS to earn $PFVS tokens. The campaign will run until 3 June 12PM UTC, with a total prize pool of 3 million $PFVS.

Free-Ask from the KuCoin Community to Puffverse

Q: What role do community members play in shaping the future of Puffverse — is it just a game or a player-driven universe?

Miko: Puffverse is definitely a player-driven universe. Here's one reason why.

 

Aside from playing the game for $PFVS rewards, you can create your own game via PuffLand. Then, you can share this game to the Puffverse virtual world and people will participate there, with you earning some of the benefits from your efforts.

 

Many more reasons from participating in governance to personalizing your digital identity, but hope this answers your question.

 

 

Q: Can you explain how vePUFF holders earn revenue from the platform and how that aligns with long-term sustainability?

Miko: vePUFF contributes to the governance of the Puffverse ecosystem as it allows holders to vote in the Puff DAO. With the DAO proposals, you can vote on changes to how the game economy is being run.

 

You need to hold on to vePUFF and $PFVS to retain these privileges, so there's a mutual benefit for all sides to keep on holding. I guess that mainly handles the long-term sustainability part.

 

Q: How will the AIGC Cloud Gaming Platform in Puffverse improve user experience and gameplay creation compared to traditional game engines?

Miko: Our AIGC (AI-Generated Content) cloud gaming platform represents Puffverse’s most ambitious technical advancement. This system will leverage artificial intelligence to generate dynamic content, personalized gaming experiences, and adaptive gameplay that responds to individual player preferences.

 

The cloud infrastructure will eliminate device limitations, enabling high-quality gaming experiences across all hardware platforms.

Q: Puffverse introduces a full Web3 gaming ecosystem—what’s your strategy to onboard Web2 gamers who may not be familiar with crypto or NFTs?

Miko: Actually, while we are Web3 because of our Play-to-Earn mechanism, the PuffGo game is something that you can play and use even without needing to go with Web3 first. We want to foster a more natural gaming experience where Web2 (non-crypto) gamers can experience the game like a normal app, then they get enticed organically with joining Web3 when they see the exclusive perks we have in store for our Web3 gamers.

 

And we pay extra close attention to making sure that the Web3 onboarding experience is as easy as possible for Puffverse users.

 

Q: How does Puffverse differentiate itself from other GameFi or metaverse projects?

 

Miko: I guess one key difference we have with many other GameFi projects is the strong backing we have not just with Web3 but also outside of it. Having Xiaomi, Alibaba, Unity game engine, and many more supporters/allies in Web2 allows us to focus more on growing the market for Web3 via new entrants from the Web2 side.
