### AstraAvatar and AstraPlay&#x20;

Under our NFT and AstraPlay initiative, the first use-case we plan to implement is a NFT-based online digital collectible card-game (Title : TBD). The game would enable players to prove their mettle against the in-game bosses (PVE) to journey ahead into the experience the rich and captivating lore OR battle against each other (PVP) to show-off their gaming strategy. The cards used shall be based on the various elements, types and character-based NFT collectible and tradable cards. Our unique and sustainable Play-To-Earn (P2E) mechanism will allow players to be participants in a real game economy and earn as they win! The players would require to play and master against the in-game rivals to level-up and unlock abilities to get strong enough to face the bosses. Beating a boss shall reward you generously with higher quality loot (weapons and gear). Weapons, cosmetics, abilities and other attributes will provide your Avatars the extra fire-power and your distinct play-style finesse to face your opponents as YOU like! The first collection shall be based on unique 3D NFTs created and designed in voxel form, stored on the BEP-721 contracts for the NFT holders to witness and experience the journey.

AstraPlay Collectible Card Game Plot: It is now year 3069, and our beloved Earth has been devastated due to the reckless exploitation by humans and eventually inhabitable with an acute shortage of most natural resources; starvation all around, water has become toxic. It took humanity 3 Nuclear Wars to finally realise the importance of unity after which countless space operations have been tried jointly (AstraAlliance) with only one mission. Survival. Space agencies and Astronauts all across the planet joined hands together to take on treacherous exploration journeys across Solar Systems. Few returned broken, but forever damned by the horrors. Others, lost in this unknown and unforgiving expedition, engulfed by the indefinite astral silence and numbing chill. It was when on one fateful day, a lone alien signal was broadcasted from a far-off solar system towards one such earthly spacecraft traversing through space. It took the entire humanity 13 years of joint efforts and AI excellence to decode the signal. Finally, there was hope.&#x20;

**The result:** The origin pinpointed to approx. 13000 light years away in a far-off galaxy, mentioning a planet with earth-like properties. Perfect for human survival. Along with that, a set of instructions to create advanced technology, far from human comprehension, now in our grasp. Interdimensional travels and use of blackhole portals is now possible. AstraAlliance Faction has taken the lead and have readied a team of astronauts on the BEP-721 chain to follow the signal and embark humanity's journey towards the promised land.

### AstraStaking&#x20;

As with most blockchain technology, it is possible to store assets on the blockchain. Collectible NFT Card-game, sports, or other cards are simple examples of asset storage.

AstraVerse will come up with its unique staking platform which will allow the investors to stake their tokens and AstraAvatars to earn attractive APY rewards. This staking platform will also be integrated with AstraPad. More details of the staking platform will be announced in the full version of the Spacepaper.

### AstraPad&#x20;

AstraPad will be an IDO launch platform for crowdfunding new Play-2-Earn projects using our own native tokens. AstraPad will be a means to distribute tokens and raise liquidity for new projects. This platform will benefit all token holders and enable fair launches, allowing traders of all sizes to invest in the best upcoming Binance Smart Chain projects. AstraPad will have a tier based system which will define the mechanics of the allocation process for IDO projects. Building an IDO platform requires a huge undertaking in terms of development and finance, hence AstraVerse will scale up the team to handle the requests of new projects. More details will be made available in the full version of the Spacepaper.
