For those who missed our AMA in the Puff Discord and those who haven’t joined at that time, we organized an overview of Oct 14th’s AMA.
Let’s take a look!
AMA Overview
1.First off, let’s start with a brief introduction of Puffverse, shall we?
Sure. I’m glad to see all the future Puffs gathering here through Web 3. This is exactly what we are trying to do, to build a Disney-like dreamland of the 3D metaverse that aims to connect virtuality in Web 3 and reality in Web 2. We have an amazing and mature development team as well as solid backers to provide us with engine and game-building support, we also have a great community here at the very beginning. To bring you into the Puffverse, you have to know that we have unique storylines and extraordinary characters with different personalities. Web 3.0, DeFi, and SocialFi are our goals. Puffverse is a multi-end interactive universe with characters as NFT assets, allowing players to experience different content in different scenarios using their characters. Users can use their characters as NFT assets to experience different content in different scenarios. They can collect multiple characters with unique and diverse costumes, various characteristics, skills, bonuses, and more. We are not a GameFi project, but we contain 4 main products which are PuffGo (Royale party game like Fall Guys), PuffTown (Simulation game and also wallet integration and web 3 control panel to control all 3 products), PuffLand (UGC for game design, no coding needed), PuffWorld (UGC for metaverse building, no coding needed), Passcard (SocialFi), etc. So, it’s never to late to join Puffverse, especially since we are now in quite an early phase!!
2.Great to hear from a potential rock star. I’m just curious how the team came up with the idea to do the Puffverse?
Well, in short, it’s because of dream vs reality. The dream is pretty simple, as the crypto market being bullish since the end of 2019, everyone has a dream to step right in and build their own project here. But when we saw a lot of projects who didn’t really have an outstanding game or product but only a good tokenomic model, we knew we’d do better because of how strong our development team is. The reality didn’t hit us, but only was the catalyst of realizing the Puffverse. Starting from 2019, due to the limits imposed by the epidemic, the majority of people worldwide are unable to travel as freely as before, but the socialization need still remains. With 300 million users worldwide, Xiaomi is a user-centered platform where quality content and platform will complement one another to create positive feedback in a loop. As a result, a team from Xiaomi decided to expand the investment in content production while choosing this track in the medium casual competitive category given the overall situation at the time (COVID-19). Hopefully, this will increase the viscosity of the platform and product users. The team also collaborated with Unity to develop the underlying framework of the product and designed a full set of Unity technology to realize the product planning. Unity provided all the technical support for the Puff project, and the best TA team in the world was brought in to realize the Puff product’s art and animation. The team created the base framework of the editor based on Unity to give the best action game experience to the users after it was introduced to the public.
3.Hear many great names, really looking forward to the launch! So, tell me, what are the differences between Puffverse and its competitors? What’s special about Puffverse?
First off, let’s start with the Web3 crypto view - we are a few metaverses that actually has a metaverse product, to be honest. Many projects tend to build their tokenomics first, and extend the real product launch, which is pretty Crypto but not professional. As we have so many solid backers who provide all the development sources, engines, etc, we have everything planned out and in development so that we have the confidence to be the most outstanding metaverse. Metaverse is a huge word, so in Puffverse it also includes different products in the ecosystem. The whole Puffverse is separated into 4 stages, PuffTown, PuffGo, PuffLand, and PuffWorlds as I said. I will cover these later when I talk about the roadmap. Overall, the typical single-character settings were abandoned in favor of a character set that emphasizes “Who I am” by letting the users choose from different characters. Each character has their own character traits — Everyone is born different, and everyone can confidently be their best self — There is always a role whose character can be projected onto the individual player, triggering the maverick GenZ users' empathy for "being brave and being yourself," allowing them to accept and integrate into Puff's world. Basically, you are able to choose your Puffidentity to enter all products, no barriers here. And if we take this from as Web 2 point of view, I have to talk about our first product release - PuffGo, which is an on-chain multiplayer royale party game that allows players to earn while having fun. Our Web 2 competitors might be Stumble Guys and Fall Guys, which are both trending party games. Our PuffGo will be the first Web 3 party game. So either in Web 3 or web 2, we are confident that we can be the outstanding one.
4.Elaborate more on the PuffGo!
It’s only the first step of our Puffverse release, and our goal is not to play to earn, but Skill to Earn and Play to Own. You can see it as the Gate to Puffverse. We are now having our Alpha version online, you can get a WL and test it out! We will be having PuffGo Beta FIFA World Cup version online next month as well. One thing to note is that the modes and levels we released now are only a small portion of all modes. Stay tuned for the official!
5.I’m gonna try it after the AMA! But I’m more curious about the overall roadmap, do we play to earn? Do we have other metrics or mechanisms? What’s the rough plan for the next 6 months to 1 year?
As I said we don’t play to earn, but you will surely be rewarded for playing, it’s just not rewarding for every set of matches. And the main tokenomic circulation is not within the PuffGo, but the other three products. Imagine if you can set up your own modes or level, you can get your own games running as play to earn or else.
Let me share the roadmap with you guys, but please note that the roadmap only represents what we can predict at this point, so it’s possible that we change priorities according to the market and feedback from the community. We will do everything to ensure the best possible experience for our users.

6.Solid plans right here. I’m more curious about how we can get ourselves into the Puffverse and how we can benefit from it?
To start your Puffverse journey, you must get a Puff NFT for yourself! The first round of mint has already begun, but you are still able to join the Premint for Whitelist for the second round on Oct 14th. If you participate in our events for WL, or register via Premint with a minimum of 0.01 ETH balance in your wallet, you will be able to get the WL and mint Puff Tickets for free. Then, you can use your Puff Tickets to participate in the Genesis NFT lottery section which will earn yourself a Genesis NFT for free! Note that Genesis NFT can participate in all four products in the Puffverse and have all the privileges you can imagine. AND! Genesis NFT only has 2,500 in quantity, and we will not be minting more in the future. So this is your best chance to get your NFT and earn later on in Puffverse. Here’s the detailed guideline:
7.Woah! How can we participate in the Regular Round? When can we mint it for free?
To elaborate on the ways to participate:
-
Follow our Twitter and Discord, for more events coming up. We will be doing a lot of activities for WL dropping.
https://twitter.com/Puffverse
https://discord.com/invite/puffverse
Participate in those events, and if you are lucky enough, you will be whitelisted and you can mint the Puff Tickets for free on Oct 14th! -
Follow our Twitter and wait for the Premint Link. Make sure you have 0.01 ETH in your wallet address and use that address to register for our Premint Event. If you are lucky enough, you will be whitelisted and you can mint the Puff Tickets for free on Oct 14th!
-
Or! If you hold other blue chip NFTs, you will also get WL to mint Puff Tickets for free NOW! Cuz you were already whitelisted!!
Now we have Bored Ape Yacht Club, Sandbox, Azuki, CloneX, Doodles, Moonbirds, GOBLIN, ISEKAI, Pudgypenguins, and WEBA included. If you are a holder of the above projects, we took a snapshot on Sep 26th, you are whitelisted already!
Go mint it now! https://puffverse.pro/mint
During the Puff Ticket mint period, whitelist winners can mint up to 2 Puff Tickets. With each Puff Ticket, a user can use it to draw in the Puff Lottery to win the Puff Genesis.
Please take notes:
Once a user wins Puff Genesis, the used Puff Ticket will be “burnt”. However, the user can still participate in the Puff Lottery if they own more Puff tickets.
If the user is not lucky to win the Puff Genesis, the user can continue to use that Puff Ticket to participate in the next Puff Lottery after a cooling-off period.
If the user can’t win the Puff Genesis until the end of the campaign, the user still has the opportunity to join the following Puff events with earned Puff Ticket(s).
8.When is the mint period? How many days do we have for getting WL and mint?
Puff Genesis Giveaway consists of a total of 1 week Early Bird Round and another 6 weeks for users to participate and win exclusive NFTs (15,000 Puff Tickets & 2,000 Puff Genesis in total for the whole campaign).
To appreciate our early supporters, we are determined to gradually lower the possibility of NFTs winning from time to time. It means the sooner you join, the higher chance you will win NFTs.
9.Amazing! First in first served! Puffs, remember to follow Puffverse on Twitter to keep yourself updated! I think Puffverse will be the blue chip in the later days after the official launch. And we did see many successful projects like Axie Infinity, do you see Puffverse grown like that or otherwise?
In our opinion, Axie is surely a great project but only a GameFi project. So when it comes to the metaverse, we are more complicated yet more comprehensive. We don’t only have GameFi, but SocialFi, DeFi mechanism, and also hardware-related products. We see a bigger potential here, especially with all the Web 2 support we have.
10. Indeed! But let’s state a fact that we are in a bear market, do you think you will be affected by the bear market?
We are surely affected, but in good ways mostly. A bear market is a great time to build. When you are in a bull market, a project tends to try everything new and anything pops up profitably. Is it a good thing? Well, it provides diversity, but it’s not healthy for the market. Because the more forks you have in the market, the larger the bubble is. In a bear market, we have time and patience to stick to our plan and adjust accordingly. The overall mission and vision will stay the same without all the bullish chaos. That’s why I said it’s in good ways. Again, we are confident in what we are doing and why we are doing it. To be the bridge between virtual and reality, to be the medium of Web 2 and Web 3, and to redefine what GameFi looks like. We go for the long term, and hopefully, I can see some Puffs here 3 years later.
See you in the next AMA!!
