PolkaWar x Satoshi CLUB AMA Session 26 May 2021
PART 1. Introduction of PolkaWar project and community questions.
Hello, Satoshi clubbers and guests of this site. Let’s talk today about DeFi game with play-to-earn formula.
PolkaWar is Innovative DeFi and NFT Gaming Platform. The NFT-based decentralized fighting game with game form — Play to earn.
Introduction of PolkaWar project.
I’m Jackson Mohr, CEO & co-founder of Polkawar. Graduating from the national university of Singapore in 2002, I have many years of experience in the field of 2d & 3d game programming.
Knowing the cryptocurrency market in 2016 as an investor, I have a lot of experience in the field of investment and management
In addition, I have more than 5 years of experience in the field of blockchain programming.
Polkawar is a decentralized fighting game platform on the blockchain network. Inspired by the nft subfield, Polkawar will create a vivid fighting game world.
Players will build character systems with weapons and equipment with different levels, to engage in combat with other players; participate in quests in the game as well as buy and sell items in the marketplace.
The game is not mainnet yet, but I will send you some design resources. These are the 3 main characters in the game.
Q1 from telegram user @nataliyakil
One of the Polkawar products is the Polkawar marketplace. The players can acquire funds by selling their upgraded equipment and weapons, in the native pwar token. What does the process of improving equipment and weapons look like? Are there any levels and in order to upgrade their equipment does the player have to spend their pwar token? Why are these improvements needed at all, what new functions does equipment and weapons acquire, what opportunities do players have?
Very good question
Polkawar’s character system will have 3 types of characters: warrior, magician, archer. There are a total of 5 levels. Each level has a different hp, mp, XP, and attack stats.
Total equipment and weapons will have 10 types (sword, big knife, tessen, bow & arrow, gun, scepter, a magic vase, armor, helmet,
Wing), and there are 3 different levels. Each level has different hp, mp, damage, accuracy stats.
To upgrade weapons and equipment, you must buy stones to practice. Stones you can buy or do quests to get. Of course, the higher the level, the higher the item’s stats will be
Q2 from telegram user @ruttiee
The game system will have the characters of warrior, archer and magician. Each with different strengths and weaknesses, complete with a diverse range of weapon systems and equipment. Does Polkawar dev team has any future plans to include more characters? Will gamers/users be rewarded for completing missions successfully?
Currently, Polkawar only directs and focuses on building 3 characters that are magician, warrior and archer. In the future, we will open many levels for the characters, maybe up to level 50, 100. And moreover, focus on building equipment and weapons for the character, open more levels and more maps.
When you join a battle, if you win the battle, you will receive the battle bet money (pwar, BNB ) and gain experience points.
When you complete the mission, you will get experience points and PWAR tokens.
Q3 from telegram user @manugotsuka
One of the most interesting thing about Polkawar logictics is the possibility of “hold the nft” in the real world, but considering that some of your nfts are weapons, how do you exactly will represent that in the real world? A real weapon or a toy version?
Good question. I guess this person really likes to own weapons haha.
It’s a real-world weapon and equipment, not a toy version. We have connections with a number of small merchants, so the supply of items is not an issue. We will go through some legal issues, before deploying this module
Real sword we already have
Q4 from telegram user @jonahapagu
On your roadmap there is a plan to launch your game on casper blockchain mainnet, this happens to be one of the first games I have come across that will be built on casper, so can you explain why you decided to build on casper blockchain mainnet, what are the advantages of doing so, and will building on casper blockchain mainnet also be beneficial to you in building your multichain marketplace.
Casper network is a new blockchain platform that has many advantages and differences compared to the rest of the competitors. It inherits the good aspects of the Ethereum blockchain and improves on its weaknesses, such as the problem of almost zero transaction fees and very fast speeds, using pos.
Moreover, we wanted to try something new, especially the casper ecosystem is small, so we decided to aim to casper. I believe that if Polkawar successfully builds on casper network, it will be a very significant breakthrough for us.
Next time, we will coordinate with the casper team to conduct construction. Of course, the first step is still to run on Binance smart chain first
Others, we will also aim to build Polkawar marketplace on another blockchain like Ethreum, Polkadot, Matic.
Of course, it will take a long time to develop
Q5 from telegram user @h1drx
Generally speaking, a game requires tens or even hundreds of people in some cases, and the general production cycle is several years. To develop a game like Polkawar, specialised professionals in different fields are needed, who are capable of designing, drawing and programming. I am interested in knowing more about the team behind Polkawar, how many people make up your team? How are they trained and what expertise do they possess?
Polkawar’s development team has 2 developers, they are experienced in game programming and nodejs. There are 2 designers, they are experienced in 2d & 3d game character design, animated design .
I’m also a blockchain developer, have little knowledge about smart contract
Of course, among you here, who can potentially apply for a job at Polkawar. Just send your cv to email hello@Polkawar.com
Q6 from telegram user @andrey_seleznov
Hi Polkawar ! ⚔️
Could you please clarify more about the Polkawar genre? Is it a fighting game where players only engage in PVP in the arena or is it more of a 3d rpg game with quests, exploration, battles and all the fun that comes with this? I also wonder if you plan weapons to have degradation mechanics so that they can lose some of their value and stats after the battle?
Polkawar is a fighting game. You build your character with weapons and equipment, then challenge other players. The form of the match can be 1 vs 1 or team vs team.
Before participating in the match, both sides will bet an amount. Whoever wins will win that amount
When you win the battle, in addition to the money, you will have more experience points to upgrade your character.

Q — 1 from a telegram user @xperia3
As a Gamer myself I can say it is easy to get Gamers in Polka War since the game looks quite nice! How will Polka War team bring non-gamers to this project? What will be your marketing strategies in this direction?
I think PolkaWar will be a very easy for playing and highly addictive game. If you’re a gamer and have some blockchain knowledge, you’ll be fine.
Marketing is an important and necessary element of every project, especially at the early stages of a project.
we have good staff so this should not be a problem either.
To expand the market and introduce project to more people , we will regularly attend AMAs, meetings, online and offline events…
In the near future we also carry out advertising campaigns through KOLs, airdrop , giveaways campaign. I think those are effective approaches at first.
Q — 2 from a telegram user @Jodasf
Like PolkaWar, there are several platforms with their own blockchain-based NFT marketplaces, so what makes you different from your competitors, what features will allow you to participate to be one of the best platforms in the market and what strategies are you developing to attract a good amount of subscribers to participate in the sale, redemption and creation of the items you offer, for example?
PolkaWar’s Marketplace does not allow players to create items for sale, but only allows the purchase and sale of in-game items. That is our biggest difference from other platforms like Rarible, OpenSea…
Q — 3 from a telegram user @highpee
Later this month, you will run MVP TESTING for early participants and I learnt you will be giving out NFT Airdrop to these participants. This month is already ending. Are you still going ahead with this plan? Who can participate in this product testing stage and what will be needed to join?
The MVP will be launched on June 1. Along with that, the big airdrop campaign will also launch. Participating in the airdrop, users will receive items that are weapons or equipment (level 1) and 25 PWAR tokens . Everyone can participate
Q — 4 from a telegram user @Antoni_azx
From what I could read from its whitepaper, users in Polkawar will not be authorized to create NFTs, but to collect and trade them according to the availability of the system, can you tell us if due to the finite quantity of these items there is any limit for the purchase and sale NFTs per user? And with what currency can they be purchased?
There is no limit to the purchase and sale of items. As long as you have enough BNB or PWAR tokens, you can participate.
Q — 5 from a telegram user @xperia3
What are the use and benefits of holding and/or (if it is possible) staking $PWAR tokens? Can you give some reasons to the long-term investors to buy and hold $PWAR?
You can see the use cases of PWAR token here.
Staking and farming are two modules that are sure to be included in a Defi project
In the future, when PolkaWar attracts many players, do you think PWAR token will increase in price haha
Q — 6 from a telegram user @Tony253210
PolkaWar game remember me so much to awesome games of my childhood, and it looks so we’ll designed, so can you tell us what are the CPU requirements to install and play the game?
The game is built on a website platform, I think a basic computer can participate.
Q — 7 from a telegram user @feranno
Since POLKAWAR is a war-themed NFT game, can we use the NFT-created weapons and equipment outside of the game?
All weapons and equipment are represented as ERC721 tokens. So I think it can be used outside the game, on other marketplaces that support the listing of NFT items
Q — 8 from a telegram user @JoanaZ
The roadmap says that PolkaWar will be deployed on the Casper blockchain, but apart of this chains the game will be compatible with other popular networks?
PolkaWar will be launched on Binance Smart Chain first, then will expand to Casper and other blockchains like Matic, PolkaDot
Q — 9 from a telegram user @Sumione
I see that Polkawar already make 3 strategic partners from : PolkaBridge, ChinaPolka and BMW Capital. Actually I only know about PolkaBridge since they already do ama in Satoshi Club and they are great project. But how about the other two? Would you please explain what the benefit both project get from this partnership?
PolkaBridge is a decentralized all-in-one financial application platform. The PolkaBridge ecosystem is expected to include cross-chain AMM, Farming, Lending, Fundraising platform (Launchpad), Prediction, NFT, and more. All products will be developed with PolkaDot as the base of activity.
