Acquisition Royale is our play-to-earn M&A-themed battle royale NFT game. If you haven’t already, take a read of our intro blog post. 💼👨‍💼⚔️💰

Since the commencement of The Founding (our distribution event) last week, we’ve been listening to feedback from the community, and have identified numerous points of friction for setting up on Polygon to play our game.

So we’ve made two big changes to make things easier:

1. You can claim a free Enterprise NFT (while supplies last) and also receive enough free MATIC to play the game.
2. Enterprises will now be sold for a fixed price of 15 MATIC rather than being priced in ETH, meaning you don’t need two different currencies to make a purchase. You can buy Enterprises from our website.

For more details on changes to The Founding, see the bottom of this article!

How To Claim Free NFT+MATIC 🎁

There are two different ways to claim your free Enterprise + MATIC — you could even claim both!

Method 1: Tasks

1. Complete 3 tasks HERE**
   **e.g. join Discord, follow both Twitter accounts
   (this also makes you eligible for a rare NFT giveaway)
2. Enter the Secret Code (find it easily in our Discord)
3. Enter your Polygon wallet address
4. Wait for the Enterprise to be airdropped to you at the end of the month!

There will be a limited number of free claims — first come first served!
We will update this post when there are no free claims left.

Method 2: NFT Ownership

1. Own an NFT from the ‘List of Projects Eligible for FREE NFT’ below
2. Join our Discord
3. Type !join in the #verify-nfts channel
4. Provide your wallet address in the form in the #claim-free-nft channel (note: you will only see this channel if you have an eligible NFT from the list below!)
5. Wait for the Enterprise to be airdropped to you at the end of the month!

Only a limited number can be claimed per project, so be quick!

There will also be another special airdrop for whichever projects claim their free Enterprises the fastest — so make sure to spread the word in your project’s community!

The Founding Changes (in more detail)

Before we start the game, it’s important that we’ve distributed enough Enterprise NFTs (which you need to play the game!).

The purposes of the changes here are to increase the number of participants such that the game can be played as intended.

Auction Changes

For simplicity, and to not disadvantage those who purchase earlier, the auction will now be for a **fixed price of 15 MATIC **per Enterprise.

The auction will continue until supply runs out, however the game may start before the end of the auction if enough Enterprises have been distributed.

As a special thank you for being early, any users who already bought an Enterprise through the falling price auction will be gifted more Enterprises to reflect the new price, plus a free Rebrand Token and a free Rename Token.

Pricing in MATIC

As mentioned above, the auction (plus some in-game actions) will now be **priced in MATIC **(the native token of Polygon) instead of ETH, which has the following advantages:

• An approval transaction is no longer required before participating in the game/auction, which is great for both UX and security
• Removes a number of additional steps required to acquire both ETH and MATIC
• Reduces friction in understanding and participating in the game/auction

We’ve updated our step-by-step guide with *6 different methods *for getting MATIC onto Polygon, so there should be an approach that works for everyone.

Since pricing is in MATIC, the lottery giveaway (where you had to purchase a ticket with a small amount of ETH) no longer makes sense, so all existing lottery ticket holders will simply be gifted an Enterprise.

VIPs

Originally, we had the concept of ‘VIPs’ in The Founding, who were eligible to claim free Enterprises from the website if they owned an NFT from certain eligible NFT projects at a certain snapshot block. These VIPs also had a 25% discount in the auction.

We’ve decided to remove the ‘VIP’ concept in favor of giving out free NFTs to those who join our Discord community and verify ownership of an eligible NFT via CollabLand.
