Description
We believe that we are bringing new metaverse users to decentraland. We have 60,000 people in our discord and ~3,000+ unique holders across ~6,700 unique NFTs. Our user base is not the âold schoolâ decentraland or âOGâ NFT collectors. The majority of our userbase is new to the NFT and Metaverse space.
As a project we have invested heavily in decentraland as we see dcl as such a meaning place for building our community and expanding our overall reach to the web3 community.
We are hosting a New Years Day party with 15+ Projects, a grammy nominated artist (Aloe Blacc), SpottieWifi, and hope to bring as many users online as possible in dcl.
While we love âpartyingâ in the metaverse, we want to show our community and the world what the next level looks like for Chibi Labs and the Chibi Nation in the metaverse. We also want to create âSticky-nessâ and a symbiotic relationship between Decentraland, our NFT holders, and the entire DCL and Web3 community.
Our team and our community has been researching Play-to-Earn and we see a very valid use case for Chibi Labs and the Chibi Nation to build out a Play to Earn game in DCL.
We know that Play-to-Earn is the next way for us to show our community about the next chapter of the metaverse. Aside from Wondermine and the casinos, play-to-earn seems super early in Decentraland. We understand the importance We have been impressed with the âSticky-nessâ of Wondermine and hope that we can show DCL, our community and the world that our Play to Earn strategy will be fun, and keep users coming back.
We also seek your guidance and strategy as to what can and canât be done with Play-to-Earn in DCL. We pride ourselves on investigating every edge of the Metaverse landscape. At Chibi Labs, we consider this just the beginning of our Journey in Decentraland.
As a project and as a community, we will always do whatever we can to increase awareness about the metaverse, decentraland, and web3 safety.

4. Daily Multiplier rewards to encourage daily engagement and âSticky-nessâ.
Players will race each other to complete a timed event that will be a checkpoint race course through the map that can be redesigned to make for different races. âSimply using a highlighted ball of light or something to indicate where to go will be enough.
POAPâs will be given to the high score of the day, and or one given to the highest score of the week/month. (1 of 1 POAP)(date/time/players name/etc)
Leaderboards need to be auto updated with usernames and times of completion

POAPs potential redemption process could include a chance to win a chibination
decentraland item or even an actual chibi
Leaderboards need to be auto updated with usernames and times of completion

Roadmap and milestones
A portfolio of your work to date:
Weâd like to add PLAY-TO-EARN to Chibination.dcl.eth.link ASAP. As soon as we receive funding we would be contracting with a team to build this.
We would implement this PLAY-TO-EARN Game as a phase 1 program. Implementation could be within 3-4 months.
Once phase 1 is complete. We can survey our community as well as the decentraland community and DAO for suggestions of improvements for phase 2 of our PLAY TO EARN game in Decentraland.
We feel that we are all still super early in this space and welcome the community to supply input, suggestions, and feedback of what they want to see happen next in Phase 2 of our PLAY TO EARN GAME.
In the short to medium term we feel it is super important to get started with the PLAY TO EARN GAME in Decentraland.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Cheers,
The Team at Chibi Labs
