MPC takes shaping the bottom layer of NFT chain games as the starting point, so as to attract a large number of developers, players and capital parties to settle in. After forming a huge application ecology, it will directly access the metaverse space from multiple dimensions such as technology, economy, community and culture. .
What excites NFT players is that MPC is an efficient MAAS (Metaverse as a Service) platform. Any type of users, including game developers, artists, KOLs and players, can create Metaverse works with one click according to their personal ideas. It can be compared to issuing ERC20 tokens on Ethereum. As the NFT auction event approaches, MPC has attracted more attention. At 8 pm on September 8th, MPC CMO Ray Elaine visited the Odaily Chaohua community to give you a detailed introduction. The following is the essence of shared content, edited and organized by Odaily, enjoy~
The following is a record of the community interview, organized by Odaily:
Q1: Please briefly introduce yourself and your team's working experience.
Ray:Hello everyone, I am Ray from MPC. I am in charge of marketing in the team. I used to work for Ogilvy America. I have more than 15 years of industry experience in the field of social expansion and brand building. I have worked for Volkswagen, Cisco, IBM, Shell, Nestle More than 50 brands have provided advertising planning, and have had a relatively excellent record in marketing.
The MPC team is mainly composed of technical talents. The founder Elon has more than 13 years of experience in the Internet industry. Mainly engaged in games, AR, blockchain applications and other fields. He has participated in Nintendo BDD-related work, and has extensive experience in building business models for various game businesses and blockchain applications. Once received venture capital support from True Ventures, participated in the operation of The Club, Plague Inc and other game projects.
The current technical director, James, is a senior practitioner in the Internet and data network industry, and once led the team to participate in the development of Unreal Engine 3. Good at engine development, algorithm development, distributed technology. Proficient in a variety of computing languages, has in-depth research on open source blockchain algorithms such as Ethereum, a senior researcher of IOT, and has participated in the formulation of ETSI security standards.
In addition, the chief game designer of our team, Carl, is a senior operation expert in the game industry. He has served as an operation consultant for several game projects in companies such as Three Mel and Hive5. He participated in the early stage of Playdom game business cooperation and operation, and provided publishing consultation for independent game developers around the world. service and assistance.
Q2: As a "special field" public chain positioned on NFT infrastructure, what are the differences between MPC and existing public chains in terms of functions?
Ray:The essence of MPC is the underlying platform of metaverse concept games. We will continue to develop new games with the iteration of technological concepts. Therefore, the storage of game information and the retention of traffic information are very important to us, so the main functions of MPC It is to efficiently store information and support the smooth circulation of assets in the game. In addition, MPC focuses more on the advantages of the P2E model, through the innovation of gameplay and economic model, allowing players to achieve both entertainment and income during the game. The traditional public chain is more about providing a technical carrier. In terms of basic technical optimization and efficiency iteration, all public chains are actually the same. Compared with MPC, the traditional public chain lacks some in the level of application expansion. Imagination and multidimensional creativity.
Q3: In order to realize these differentiated functions, how is MPC designed in terms of technical architecture?
Ray:The public chain is the underlying architecture of blockchain technology, but due to immature technology and other reasons, there are inevitably disadvantages such as low speed, poor compatibility, unsafe security, and high cost of use. For example, Ethereum, the "king of public chains", has not yet solved the problems of high Gas fees and low TPS. Aiming at these ills, the MPC (Modernizing Park Chain) team technically proposed the following solutions:
1. Multi-asset protocol support, that is, fully supports asset protocols such as ERC20, ERC721, BEP20, ERC1155 and ERC998, to achieve efficient interaction of value on the chain;
2. Compatible with smart contracts, that is, the MPC public chain can run based on WASM and EVM smart contracts at the same time, and also has multiple built-in system contracts, which improves the programmability of the MPC chain and reduces the cost of use and learning threshold for developers;
3. The original TFBT consensus mechanism, in which each round of consensus decision-making is divided into five stages: voting, proposal, pre-voting, pre-submission and submission, and the rigor of the review ensures the acceptance of the consensus by the community. The TFBT consensus mechanism ensures the fairness and security of the entire system while mobilizing the enthusiasm of nodes to participate. In this way, MPC can also choose whether to add more consensus nodes or synchronization nodes according to specific business needs, and the scalability is greatly improved;
4. The P2P network based on libP2P can realize encrypted and authenticated transmission and resist man-in-the-middle attacks. The underlying network services can accommodate multiple protocols operating on a unified link.
Q4: Which of the above paths will MPC prefer to adopt to attract end players and NFT users by investing large funds to encourage the migration of mature chain games and NFT projects, or incubating original explosive models with unique directions, or signing contracts with big IP parties? What are the specific supporting measures?
Ray:MPC is the underlying facility of NFT games. The vision and goal is to provide a carrier for all entrepreneurs on this track, so that all DAPPs have a strong and stable support. Therefore, our thinking is different from other underlying facilities. We first strengthen the underlying technology and architecture, and then build an application ecosystem, so as to attract developers to voluntarily settle incremental projects into MPC and migrate stock projects to MPC. . This is the most basic and bottom-level logic of our team: continue to invest huge sums of money and talents in technology research and development, and constantly optimize our bottom-level performance.
The points mentioned in the question just now, I think, are more considered from the application level. This is what we need to focus on after the ecology takes shape, but now we have started planning. Mainly from three aspects, to increase fans for our MPC drainage:
1. Set up a normalized developer incentive plan and hold player reward activities from time to time: Specifically, we may reward the fastest growing app and its developer in the form of a fund or prize pool, allowing them to In the process of starting a business, you can avoid worries and concentrate on research and development. In addition, for players with high loyalty in the MPC underlying ecology, we will give certain token rewards, and even organize specific communities to hold airdrops and other activities. The criteria for loyalty assessment are, of course, the player's online time, the number of participating projects and the number of tokens held.
2. Bind with well-known IPs and jointly develop popular games: The explosion of NBA Top Shot and the popularity of several racing games launched by Animoca Brands are all bonuses brought about by binding with phenomenal top-tier IPs. We have a very deep understanding of this point. Therefore, we have already begun to approach some well-known IP parties, of course they are very interested in NFT games. This is a process of complementary advantages, and we will continue to adapt in this process. When the critical point breaks out, the bottom layer of MPC will hatch a series of well-known IP chain games, which will have a self-evident effect on the drainage of the entire ecology.
3. Self-developed explosive game products, cultivating exclusive incubation capabilities: We actually position ourselves as Nintendo in the blockchain world, which is the existence of a top game development team. Because this is the core capability and the entrance of traffic. So, you can see that Terra Nulla, a chain game we are currently launching, already has many exclusive core advantages, and has been strongly concerned by the media and the community before. Regarding the gameplay and mechanism of this game, I will give you a detailed introduction later.
Q5: What is the current development stage of MPC, and what is the future roadmap? What big moves or milestones will you have in the near future?
Ray:Specifically, the development of MPC is planned into three stages: the creator economy layer, the human-computer interaction layer, and the exploration and discovery layer. At present, MPC is in the creator economy layer. The specific status of these three stages is as follows:
1) Creator economy layer: Players can mint NFT by themselves, project funds create dividends for users, and user game assets can be exchanged with mainstream digital assets;
2) Human-computer interaction layer: The most cutting-edge virtual reality technologies such as AR, VR and IOT are integrated into the gameplay and scenes, so that players can realize real human-computer interaction;
3) Exploration and discovery layer: MPC has completed the construction of a closed-loop value ecology, and all digital assets in the Metaverse can freely flow and be realized in the MPC ecology.
After MPC plans to go online, while optimizing and iterating the underlying technology, it will also vigorously deploy some new games. With the help of the traffic brought by the earliest developers and players, the innovation of subsequent games will retain traffic for the platform. In the MPC plan In the end, we will use the advantages of platform traffic to connect with companies such as Niantic Labs and Funomena, and build a multi-dimensional integrated Metaverse platform through the combination of XR technology for entertainment, social interaction, and enjoyment of time to create income, and finally break the barriers between the virtual and real worlds and create an immersive entertainment experience. Become a new form of investment or a survival business for some people.
Q6: Which game will MPC promote in the near future? Please tell me how to play this game.
Ray:Terra Nulla, the first game on the MPC platform, will be launched in the near future. Its gameplay revolves around land NFT assets and tokens, and derives a game mechanism of persistent profit. The game is a sand river game placed in the metaverse space. It integrates various interesting mechanisms such as role-playing, fighting upgrades, building computing power, and stealing assets. Then plunder fully mobilizes the emotional value of players, and integrates the concept of "recreational income" into every detail, which truly embodies the core essence of GameFi.
For the specific gameplay highlights, we divide them into three points:
1. Work hard, if you are just a DEFI miner and don’t want to spend a lot of money to buy land, then you can choose the role of a worker and mine on different lands to obtain mining benefits. Due to the consumption mechanism, you need to spend a certain amount of energy to pay attention to and replenish the status of workers in time.
2. Fight for financial resources. If you have a lot of funds and connections, you can choose the BOSS role to obtain commission income by purchasing land and recruiting other players (workers) to mine on your own land. This part of the income will depend entirely on how much land you can take in the game and how many miners you can recruit
3. Fight luck. There are four levels of land in the game. The high-level land is the object of every BOSS player due to its scarcity and high profitability. The price is much higher than that of ordinary land. If you Believe that you are lucky, you can obtain these rare lands by opening the blind box, and sell them in the Marketplace, easily earning ten times or even hundreds of times the income.
Q7: How to extend the life cycle of NFT games or collections? Can you predict the future development direction of the P2E model?
Ray:The life cycle of the game depends on the player size, activity, token liquidity, and game experience. We have seen that Axie Infinity, the most successful chain game at present, combines pet health care + competitive gameplay, and has millions of daily active users in Southeast Asian countries. Its game development team is also the most professional technology company in Vietnam. It is said that the team has worked internationally. Won prizes in competitions. Therefore, the extension of the game life cycle is a systematic project, and it can even be said that it needs to be comprehensive in the development process. As the bottom layer of NFT, MPC will provide a series of guidance for developers of game applications that will be carried. In addition, we will make full use of industry resources to invite top practitioners in the industry for these developers to get the most direct reference and reference. Avoid unnecessary costs.
There is no doubt that the P2E model is the underlying advantage of NFT games. "Play while earning", from the current point of view, the industry still pays more attention to earning than playing. But if the industry wants to develop healthily, it has to work harder on "play". Therefore, MPC, as the bottom layer of NFT games, pays more attention to the ingenious combination of earning and playing. We pay attention to the upgrade of the gameplay and the optimization of the economic model, and continue to iterate with the development of the project. In the future, if MPC maximizes its core advantages of "earning while playing", the changes to the NFT game track will be subversive.
Q8: Currently, does MPC have upstream and downstream partners? Can you briefly introduce the external cooperation of MPC?
Ray:At present, some leading media in the circle have noticed us and reported on it. In addition, some communities have also sent us cooperation invitations, hoping to share users and traffic, provided that we open up the game development authority. In addition, in order to 100% protect the security of users' assets, we also cooperate with security audit companies to ensure that the code has no loopholes. Right now, friends from all walks of life who have faith and enthusiasm for the Metaverse are welcome to contact us.
Q9: What is the distribution mechanism and usage scenarios of MPC tokens?
Ray:secondary title

Q1: What is the current development progress of the MPC public chain? When is the internal beta of the game expected to start?
Ray:MPC and TERRA NULLA have entered the sprint stage and are expected to be launched simultaneously in late October this year.
Q2: Please briefly talk about MPC's next planned cooperation IP. Secondly, in the first year when NFT became popular, is there any benchmark product in the market for MPV?
Ray:Cooperating with IP for platform planning is an important choice for us, but at this stage we expect everyone to pay attention to our 1.0 product, which is a brand new game experience created by our team.
Q3: Does the game have Chinese settings? How to buy tokens?
Ray:In consideration of adapting to the global users we care about, we will set up multiple languages for development. For the purchase of Tokens, we will sell them in cooperation with high-quality capital and platforms in the market and high-quality communities willing to share traffic with us.
