Play to Earn — Public Access to the Private Round

Alt Shift Games
5 min readSep 12, 2021

As anyone interested in blockchain projects, and that’s also on cryptoTwitter, knows, there’s a lot of commotion around non fair-launch projects, where tokens are pre-sold to large private investment groups ahead of the public sale.

Typically the private investors make around 50x-100x profit between their pre-public token purchase and the public release, and even in the realm of 550x-600x profit, as we saw in the recent launch of play to earn space game.

To do some simple math here, if a particular private investment group puts in $1M, a few months later, they turn that into $550M — $600M. Not a bad return on investment when you have pre access to projects that the public don’t.

And where does this profit come from?

Well, from the public investors that only get access at the exchange launch price of course.

Naturally, there are those in the public micro investor space that think that this is unfair, and the SEC tends to agree with them, as they disallow US investors to participate in these projects, as these private pre-investor arrangements lead to the public investor finally ‘buying in’ at 50x-600x the private investor price, thereby putting liquidity into the market for the private investors to pocket.

Why does this happen?

Put simply:

  • It’s much faster and easier for a project to deal with a handful of investors that can take out an entire round.
  • Private investors have influencer, exchange and market maker connections that can help raise awareness for a project when it launches public.

Is there no other way?

That’s what we’re here to discuss.

Going back to the initial spirit of blockchain, it was about decentralization. Putting control and opportunity into the hands of many, as opposed to the pockets of a few.

So that’s what we’d like to do with an upcoming project from Alt Shift Games, called Wonderman Nation.

The opportunity

We want to open up the ‘private’ round direct to the public.

This will give ALL investors, from public blockchain investor entrants, right up those with deep pockets, an equal chance at being part of the Wonderman Nation journey.

So if you’re a public investor, and you’ve been begging to get a chance at a private round at the discounted token prices. Then this is your chance.

The campaign

As mentioned earlier, there are advantages that come with the connections that private investment rounds bring. And so opening our private round up to the public means that we’re going to be relying on you, the public investor, to help us make this work, to your own benefit, and to the benefit of public investors at large.

And if this goes well, we’ll also bring other project’s private rounds direct to you … but more on that later.

As a start, we need to know that there’s enough public investor interest for this to work. So we’ve set a milestone that needs to be hit before we make our token publicly available. For each milestone we’ll open up 25% of our private round tokens.

Milestone 1 = 1k followers on our Twitter and Telegram channels.

Milestone 2 = 2k followers on our Twitter and Telegram channels.

Milestone 3 = 3k followers on our Twitter and Telegram channels.

Milestone 4 = 4k followers on our Twitter and Telegram channels.

The campaign ends on Sunday, the 3rd October.

If we don’t achieve these milestones before this date, then we’ll take the round to the private investors.

So if you want to see this campaign succeed, and have this, and future projects, give you first dibs on their tokens, then be sure to follow the steps below!

The game

It’s an Axie Infinity eco-system, meets Final Fantasy game mechanics, with a South Park meets Calvin & Hobbes narrative. It couldn’t get any better right?

Correct.

Well, almost.

It also happens to be built by a world leading team. But we’ll leave that detail to the whitepaper and pitch deck.

Check out the Wonderman Nation website and follow the links.

And check out our cinematic trailer.

The token launch

The tokens will be made available on Pavillion Hub. This means that you’ll be able to pick up your tokens using a multitude of cryptocurrencies, using credit card, or PayPal, and we also have Metamask integration.

So it couldn’t be easier.

Besides getting access to your tokens on Pavillion Hub, you’ll also be able to access Wonderman NFTs, and the game itself.

The token sale will go live AFTER the milestones are met.

There will be a couple of weeks between the first milestone being completed, and the first round of tokens going live.

Assuming that you’ve followed us on Twitter, joined our TG channel, and sub’d to our newsletter, you’ll get all the details as they come.

We’ll be sure to give everyone a heads up on the release date AHEAD of time, so you’ll have time to prepare, AND you’ll have your tokens held for you for a period of time, so you don’t need to stress about bots coming in and taking your allocation, or having to set alarms at 4am to be online.

The token standard

We’ll have an ERC20 and a Phantasma Chain variant. You’re able to easily swap between chains in Pavillion Hub. So do with your token what you will.

We look forward to having you join us in the launch, and meeting you in Twitter and Telegram.

Sincerely, the Alt Shift team.
