Introduction
CryptoFun
Q1. Can you please introduce yourself and what is your background?
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Sure, my pleasure. My name is Elan, you can find me on Twitter @ElanNadav (Crypto S. Thompson).
I became involved with crypto in 2017 as an investor. It was clear to me that crypto was not going away, and after working in other industries all my life, last year, I had the opportunity to join Levana.
Now I am the marketing & community leader at Levana, so that is why I have the fun opportunity to come and talk about our project with this community. Indonesian crypto community is very important!
CryptoFun:
Q2. Please describe with simple sentence, what is Levana Protocol?
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Levana is doing something unique: we are merging entertainment and DeFi into something we are calling DeFi-tainment
Levana stands for LEVerage ANy Asset.
The DeFi platform is a financial tool for traders to increase their exposure to tradable assets. This is built on a technology called Perpetual Swaps.
This technology is extremely popular in traditional finance, but not yet in crypto. We believe it is the better technology to build a DeFi protocol around, and it is also suited for a Metaverse and gaming experience, similar to DeFi Kingdoms, ( if you are familiar with that) . . We also have an Indonesian Telegram group we just started for our Indonesian community - you can join it here
Levana was born as an idea in 2020. The best way to understand what we are building is to read our Indonesian blog
The core product of Levana is a leveraged synthetic asset trading platform for perpetual swaps. That's a long way of saying we're building the most advanced decentralized exchange in the Terra ecosystem.
We have an experienced team, the top investors in the space, and an amazing community of excited supporters.
At the same time, simply building an exchange is boring. Adventure and magic make life fun. The team is composed of sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure geeks, so we decided to trailblaze the Terra NFT space.
We established an entire world of backstory and lore around dragons (leverage), dragon riders (leverage traders), and the community of dragon keepers who enable the platform. You can read the first chapter here
Our first product is simple to understand: It is the Luna2X token. This means when holding this token, you are twice as exposed to the price of Luna, compared to holding the regular Luna token.
This article does a good job of explaining the Luna2X token
A good way to understand how we are mixing DeFi + NFTs + Play 2 Earn is to read this blog post about "DeFi-tainment"
It's a very ambitious project, but we have an incredible team, and behind the scenes a lot of people are helping us - for example Do Kwon (founder of Terra) and other big names - for example Animoca - they are the teams behind Axie Infinity.. Now they are helping Levana
CryptoFun:
Okay, thanks for all explanation in details. We are happy to learn more about Levana
Q3. What are the major milestones Levana achieved so far & what are in the future pipeline?
Elan - Levana Marketing:
About 3.5 months ago we launched the largest NFT mint on the Terra blockchain - almost 42000 meteor NFTs. We had over 6300 people participate. Now we have more than 10,000 holders of Levana NFTs. Very soon we will do an airdrop of the LVN governance token to our community. The way we know who is a member of our community is by who is holding the Levana NFTs...
In roughly 1 week, the Mars protocol will launch, which is a money market on Terra. It’s a big protocol, and there will be a lot of excitement. Levana’s first leveraged product, the Luna2X token will launch around 2 weeks later - so in roughly1 month from now. After that we will release new leverage trading products.
But wait - we are a gamified DeFi platform - there are already games we created you can play now - for example, Salim's Adventure
And now, the Faction Wars are about to begin....
You can see our updated road map here:
Elan - Levana Marketing:
The next phase in the Levana Dragons NFT game is genetic modification of your nested dragons. That means you can choose how your dragon will look when it hatched. It includes eye color, wing shape, body, horns.... Our NFTs are unique - they are EVOLUTIONARY NFTs. That means they can change, depending on the actions of the player holding the NFT.
So you see, even though our DeFi platform is not live yet (1 more month), already the game is going. And players will get the Levana tokens. And in roughly 12 months, our Magnum Opus, the open world Metaverse will be live. Until then, we are releasing fun minigames every month
I know it's a lot to understand - but we are taking the things that make Axie Infinity and DeFi Kingdoms fun games to play, and building a bigger world with dragons on top, so player's actions in the game have real-world consequences. It's going to be fun and very lucrative for people who learn how to play the game
All built on top of a leveraged trading platform on Terra :)
SESSION 2: QUESTIONS TWITTER
CryptoFun:
1. To play games we have to buy NFT first? Why did you decide to make this provision? Can users play for free? Twitter @Rawahion
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Good question! Some games are free for everyone to play. For example, tomorrow we will release a Discord "Choose your own Adventure" game in the Levana Discord. If you are not there, come join! We have over 9k people there today, and growing fast.
Some games require at least 1 Levana NFT in your wallet to play. We are focused on building a fair launch DeFi platform. We will airdrop the LVN tokens to our community. The way to join our community is to hold a Levana NFT. Therefore there is a lot of incentive to hold our NFTs - and therefore the price of them keeps rising.. we are still early
Here is our Discord link:
https://discord.gg/aErtQkTDUv
CryptoFun:
very interesting, Levana will also hold an LVN token Airdrop
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Yes - airdrop will be in roughly 6 weeks... at the end of the faction wars. So if you join your team and win, you will get a better airdrop.. ;) 👀🐲👀🐲
There will be lots of fun games in the Faction Wars - each faction has their own twitter and discord - hundreds of people are already playing for each team
CryptoFun:
2. I see that Talisman will be useful and valuable if used for adventure and no whale can squeeze the market? what if we have a lot of Talisman and all of them will be used to play? can we do that?
--Twitter @reykhanz
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Good question again :)
The talisman is useful, yes. We gave them for free to our community, and we airdropped also to the Galactic Punk community on Terra, which is one of the oldest and biggest NFT projects in Terra. Now we are discussing to airdrop more talismans to other big NFT projects on Terra, for example maybe to the Luna Bulls. Because we want to grow the game to all of Terra - and already it's starting to happen.
So - no whale can squeeze the market - we want the game to be open and available to everyone. That why we made a lot of NFT "tickets to play" (The Talismans)
If you have many talismans, I recommend you give or sell to your friends, so they can join your team!
Here is info on the Talismans
CryptoFun:
3. Why did you decide to delay in creating tokens? What quarter will you have tokens? Is there an opportunity to invest by buying your token or maybe an airdrop?
--Twitter @DurrahmanPython
Elan - Levana Marketing:
We did not delay in creating tokens.. we simply have not airdropped them yet... probably in around 6 weeks we will airdrop them. It is important to us that Levana is a fair project, with equal opportunity for everyone, not just whales. So anyone who has a Levana NFT will get our tokens :)
After we release our token, the only way to get them will be via the Airdrop and farming. Because we are a serious DeFi protocol for trading, so there must be an incentive for liquidity providers to help us maintain the platform.
CryptoFun:
4. What are the gameplay modes in Levana? Please mention and explain each point? Thank You
--Twitter @Kholik7777
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Sure- good question. For now, the minigames are for 1 player only. But soon, we will have an open world Metaverse game with dragons and Sci-fi adventures.
We are working with some of the top game companies to build it. We had a lot of requirements for them. You can see the requirements in this picture:
1. The player should be able to interact with the fame from a bird's eye view (from above)
2. A player should be able to see the Martian landscape
3. A player should be able to interact with many other players
4. The experience should be free and epic
5. Quest based - many new adventures added over time
6. Multiple teams wil be able to compete and create quests in this world
7. Daily farming rewards so people keep coming back
8. Different game modes: 1 player, 2 player, teams
9. The big metaverse will have smaller minigames inside
10. Web browser based - no requirement for downloading specific software to play
11. Mobile friendly, at least when it comes to daily farming
CryptoFun:
5. I am quite confused to see Levana's focus, what is Levana currently focused on? On gamefi or leveraged trading?
--Twitter @Hafid8000
Elan - Levana Marketing:
Levana is an immersive meta gaming experience built on leverage assets. Just like Axie Infinity is a game based on an AMM, Levana is a game built on a different kind of trading engine: A perpetual Swap. Without getting into too many details, we believe it is a better DeFi engine to build both a trading platform and a meta verse game on top.
