Increase New players with better Egg Economics

Voting ended almost 3 years agoSucceeded

We should allow new players to join right away and see some benefits of the game without having them wait for the eggs for staking.

Background / Context:

Degen Zoo is a mirror of Crypto Zoo and eggs were an essential part of the tech, however, Degen Zoo felt that it was scammy to sell eggs, therefore they decided to use them as staking rewards. However, unless we make Eggflation very high it takes time for people to get their first egg and this makes new player onboarding difficult. The eggs are both a reason to hatch and also not to hatch as they cause restrictions.

For DZOO to perform better it requires easier onboarding of new joiners. Therefore I want to make two proposals:

  1. Offer Eggs in exchange for burning Tokens:

Currently, players need at least 3000 tokens to hatch an egg. The average ROI is 50%. I propose that we allow people to get eggs in exchange for burning 250 DZOO tokens.

150 tokens are 5% of 3000, therefore if people claim eggs then they would reduce their average ROI to around 5%. It's very likely that everybody that burns tokens for the egg would hatch them. This option creates more friction then option 3 but causes a bit of deflation.

Option 2: Increase Eggflation:

Another option would be to keep the game the same but increase the inflation of eggs by 500%. This would lead to new joiners quickly getting eggs, without waiting long.

Option 3: Make eggs claimable for free

Allow people to claim eggs for free, they would just have to pay the gas fee for getting the egg. Someone that claims an egg would also very likely hatch the egg. We could investigate limiting the number of free eggs to 5 or 10, for that we need to investigate the smart contracts a bit more. However, anybody could easily abuse this restriction with multiple wallets.

Option 4: Change nothing.
