Grant Description

We are a GameFi and EduFi project that helps everyone easily get into crypto by just playing a simple Snake for Crypto game (Desktop and Android demos are available). So, We want to solve a well-known problem: a lot of people want to get into Crypto, but they are afraid of losing money (even several $), don't have time to learn it, and don't want to take any risks.

We came up with a simple solution - “Snake for Crypto” game where a snake also crawls around the screen, but collects cryptocurrencies, not just game points. Users just have to play this game to make their first steps in crypto. Our game is free, simple, and doesn't require any special knowledge (even a wallet).

We also help projects (crypto and non-crypto as well) get new users. We can run promo for them and airdrop of any digital assets as gift-cards, promo and discount cods, digital coupons, tickets and almost everything what can be digitalized. Moreover, we can teach people about our partners (run edu videos & quizzes).

Overview

Snake fo Crypto - a unique combination of a simple game and Revenue Streams:

1. in-Game Marketplace (skins, features, graffitis)
2. Evolution of user's snakes (faster, features last longer, etc)
3. Services for our partners: in-Game Airdrops, Tournaments, Educational videos with quizzes - they have to pay us for these services
4. Fees from in-Game tournaments with paid entry
5. Selling 8G virtual coin in the Game (it is not a crypto coin so that we have no regulatory problems and no problems with AppStore and Google Play; users cant sell it, send to someone, etc - just spend in the game)
6. 1% fees from the dex. We are to have a simple dex with farming and staking to give newcommers opportunity use their knowledge in practice (will provide step-by-step guides) We will be glad to receive your advice on improving our revenue model. We are sure that with your help we will make it win-win-win (for investors, users and project).

Speaking of competitors: In crypto:

1. Rabbit Hole - https://rabbithole.gg/ - a very simple educational platform without any entertaining element has ~100k users a month (stats from SimilarWeb)
2. Gleam.io - https://gleam.io/ - platform to run Airdrops Non-crypto:
3. snake.io , snake rivals - they have nothing common with crypto, but these game mechanics are very elaborate, so we will have to compete with them for users

Our advantages: Our game is free, simple, and doesn't require any special knowledge (even a wallet). At the same time we do really help users learn at least the basics of crypto, we make their journeys safer and smoother. And users will be really motivated to learn more - to get in-game items, coins, tokens of our partners, opportunity to enter special playing modes
