NFTs have added a new dimension to the crypto space, and Legends of Crypto (LOC) stands out as one of the most anticipated NFT projects currently in its initial market penetration phase. LOC aims to build a gaming ecosystem that bridges both the crypto gaming community and traditional gamers. By leveraging DeFi and a DAO governance model, it offers a unique NFT game where players can collect, earn, and play.
A Brief Introduction to Legends of Crypto
Legends of Crypto is essentially a collectible trading card game wrapped as an NFT project, powered by blockchain technology. Its distinctive approach focuses on the crypto industry's prominent members and influencers. The game runs on both the Ethereum and Matic (Polygon) blockchains. Matic powers the underlying DeFi economy, core gameplay, and DAO governance, enabling cross-chain playability, lower transaction costs, higher speeds, and a bridge to Ethereum for greater stability and efficiency.
Players who own NFT cards can earn rewards from prize pools. The game's ability to leverage DeFi and DAO governance creates a sustainable gaming ecosystem. Characters featured include top blockchains, top cryptocurrencies, DeFi legends, crypto cities, and NFT legends—notable figures like the Crypto Whale Investor and Binance's CZ are included.
How to Play Legends of Crypto
Gameplay is simple, following a top-trump style card game. Each card contains a set of numerical data, and players win by comparing the value of cards in a chosen category. The player with the highest-value card in that category wins. A minimum of two and a maximum of six players are required. LOC also includes a built-in referral program to incentivize engagement.
The $LOCG Token
The native token $LOCG is the backbone of the Legends of Crypto ecosystem, with a capped supply of 150,000,000 tokens and compatibility with both Matic and ERC-20 standards. Key use cases include:
- Play-to-earn: The more you play, the more $LOCG you receive.
- Purchase kickbacks: Buying NFT cards or decks from the marketplace rewards players with $LOCG.
- Staking rewards: Stake $LOCG in pools to earn NFT airdrops.
- Governance: Token holders can vote on game changes, propose new features, and those with sufficient tokens may join the DAO LOC Council.
- Rare card customization: Holders can modify attributes of certain rare NFTs.
- Discounts: Using $LOCG for payments grants discounts on decks and NFTs.
Gameplay and Features
Cards are scored on six criteria—innovation, dev skills, net worth, community, impact, and influence—each rated from 1 to 100. Players choose a category, and the highest total wins. Each NFT card features unique design and rarity, tradable on the LOC marketplace or third-party platforms like OpenSea.
The team behind LOC, led by Mik Mironov, Lise Lefebvre, and Mathew Sayed, brings deep experience in crypto and blockchain. They are supported by advisors with expertise in NFTs, blockchain, and gaming. The private investment round was led by top blockchain venture capital firms including LD Capital, SL2, Signum Capital, NGC, and Moonwhale Ventures.
With a clear roadmap for 2021 and innovative gameplay, Legends of Crypto is poised to build a decentralized ecosystem fueled by NFT growth. For anyone interested in the NFT space, this is a game worth watching.
