Copies of Bankster’s Mining Scrolls!

Why you should take advantage of this opportunity and how NFTs will upend the gaming industry – by Alexandru Carbonariou, CEO and CMO Bankster.

About the banksters and what is happening now

Banksters is a web 3.0 game that includes various blockchain-based features including NFT tokens and cryptocurrency tokens.

The game has launched several campaigns to expose its ecosystem and engage with the community:

Airdrop: Banksters hosts airdrop events where players can earn free in-game items or tokens by completing certain tasks or participating in the community. NFT Sale: The game sold mining scrolls as NFT, allowing players to purchase these special assets and mint special avatars with enhanced abilities. Token Sale: Banks have held token sales on several launchpads, giving players and investors the opportunity to acquire the game's native cryptocurrency tokens. Listing: The game's tokens are set to be listed on crypto exchanges in mid-May, allowing players and token holders to trade on secondary markets.

These campaigns have helped Banksters grow its community, which now has over 50,000 players, and have created excitement in the game's ecosystem.

The successful token sale across three launchpads demonstrates the community's interest and support for the project.

As Bankster continues to grow and expand, the team plans to introduce more engaging features such as new weather campaigns, Zilly missions, and collaborations with other Web3 and Web2 projects to keep the community engaged and invested in the gameplay.

Banksters Minting Scrolls are special NFTs that players can earn to enhance their gaming experience and gain additional benefits. These scrolls allow players to create unique avatars with unique abilities and perks in the game.

For example, players with a Trader avatar extracted from a roll have x4 mining potential, while those with a Reptilian avatar have x9 mining potential. These enhanced abilities give players the opportunity to earn in-game rewards and progress through the game.

Mining scrolls not only provide practical benefits, but also add customization and rarity to the player's experience. Owning a uniquely crafted avatar sets players apart and allows them to define who they are in the Bankster community.

How will NFT sales help the development of the game?

NFTs add a new dimension to the game by introducing unique, tradable digital assets that players can collect, trade and use in-game. This not only increases player engagement, but also adds depth and value to the gaming ecosystem.

NFTs give players real ownership of in-game assets, allowing them to buy, sell and trade goods on secondary markets.

This creates a sense of value and rarity, as players can find unique or limited edition NFTs that play an important role in the game.

In turn, all of these factors affect game development, player development, and especially player engagement.

What does it offer players and developers?

For players:

Ownership: NFTs give players real ownership of in-game assets, allowing them to buy, sell and trade digital goods on secondary markets. This gives players a sense of ownership and control over their virtual assets. Value: NFTs imbue virtual assets with real-world value, as players can acquire rare or unique items that give them value in the game. This adds depth and meaning to the gaming experience, motivating players to collect and cherish NFTs. So for example, the different avatars of the players in Banksters, give users different opportunities and benefits. For example, with the Merchant avatar the mining capacity is x4, and with the Reptian avatar x9. Customization: NFTs allow players to personalize their gaming experience by acquiring unique characters, skins, weapons, or other virtual items. This customization improves player engagement and allows individuals to express themselves in the game. Community Engagement: NFTs foster a community of players eager to collect and trade digital assets. This community-driven aspect encourages social interaction, cooperation, and competition among players, enriching the entire gaming ecosystem.

The Banksters community currently has over 16,000 members. Not only do they compete against each other to be high on the leaderboards, but it's also a global community that competes to collect avatars.

For developers:

Monetization: NFTs offer developers new monetization opportunities through the sale of in-game items, characters, or special abilities such as NFTs. Developers can generate income from secondary market transactions from initial NFT sales, transaction fees, and royalty payments. Player Retention: NFTs can increase player retention by providing players with tangible rewards and incentives for their in-game performance. By offering valuable NFTs as rewards for completing missions, reaching high levels, or participating in events, developers can encourage players to stay engaged in the game for a long time. Community Building: NFTs facilitate the creation of a community of players invested in the game and its ecosystem. Developers can use this community to gather feedback, test new features, and foster a sense of ownership among players, increasing player loyalty and advocacy. Content Expansion: NFTs allow developers to expand the content and longevity of their games by continuously introducing new and unique digital assets. By regularly releasing limited edition NFTs, developers can generate excitement and enthusiasm among players, generating continued engagement and revenue generation.

What are the steps to start and run an NFT collection?

Define NFT use cases: Determine how NFTs will be used in your game, for in-game items, characters, land ownership, or other virtual values. Choose a Blockchain Platform: Choose a suitable blockchain platform for issuing and managing NFTs. Consider things like scalability, security, interoperability, and community support. Developing Smart Contracts: Create smart contracts that define the rules for working, trading and communicating with NFTs. Make sure the smart contracts are secure, audited and compliant with industry standards. Integrate NFT Functionality: Integrate NFT functionality into your game's backend infrastructure, including features for extracting, transmitting, and displaying NFT functionality within the game environment. Design User Interfaces: Design user-friendly interfaces that allow players to seamlessly view, manage and trade their NFTs within the game interface. Launch and Market: Launch NFT integration with a marketing campaign to attract players and generate excitement. Engage with the community, promote NFT sales and encourage engagement to drive adoption.

Whether or not to bring NFT into play is an individual decision for each team. Bankers tried to tell you about the stages and opinions their team went through before they started NFT in their game.
