Should the following Tier 6: up to $240,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Gaming category be approved?
Abstract
In Dice Masters, players gather resources and battle enemies to craft gear and NFTs that boost stats in game. Interacting with NPCs sends players on quests to earn more resources and limited edition NFTs. Mini-games and hidden areas throughout allow players to compete for leaderboard spots and exclusive NFTs. Players select classes and join guilds, gaining access to VIP clubhouses and perks in Dice Masters and beyond.
The opportunities for expansion in Dice Masters are endless, and our team of talented individuals is continuously producing new ideas. Our ultimate goal is to develop and expand Dice Masters DCL into not only a successful P2E RPG, but into a popular hub offering a variety of games and activities for any type of DCL visitor.
