The New Hope of Blockchain Games: The Rise of Seraph

In the volatile environment of the cryptocurrency market, the blockchain gaming sector has also undergone multiple transformations, but it has always lacked a truly killer product. Although many powerful traditional game studios have entered this field in an attempt to address the issue of low game quality, there are still very few playable games available. Against this backdrop, the highly anticipated Seraph has emerged this year.

Seraph is a dark-themed Web3 game that has undergone two closed beta tests this year. By collaborating with various player communities, it has attracted 30,000 player registrations. The game data shows outstanding performance, with a first-day retention rate of 72%, a seven-day retention rate of 45%, and an average daily online duration of 5 hours per player, which is quite remarkable for a blockchain game. Despite the first two tests being wipe tests and only using test tokens, 55% of players still participated in on-chain transactions, and some major players even engaged in over-the-counter real money transactions, fully demonstrating players' recognition of the quality and playability of Seraph. Currently, Seraph is preparing for the third closed beta test with some assets retained and is launching a pre-heating blind box white list event, giving participating players a chance to obtain high-value game assets.

Recently, industry media exclusively interviewed Seraph's CMO Yezi to gain an in-depth understanding of the story behind Seraph, its economic system design, recent plans, and layout opportunities.

Originating from Loot, loyal to Diablo, surpassing Diablo

The Seraph team has rich experience in game development, Blockchain technology, and operational promotion, and has received solid financial support. They have been incubated by the South Korean online gaming giant Actoz Soft, backed by a mature product development and distribution system. The development team comes from well-known gaming companies, with experience in developing dark-style games dating back to 2008. Team members also possess experience in DeFi projects and have up to 5 years of wallet operation and maintenance experience, ensuring wallet security and continuously optimizing user experience. Recently, they also introduced an excellent Web3 market operation team, which includes initiators of multiple Web3 projects.

The creative inspiration for Seraph comes from the Loot project that exploded in popularity in 2021. Based on years of experience in developing dark games, the team believes that dark themes are highly compatible with blockchain games, and that they can integrate the rich and diverse equipment system of dark games with NFT technology. Coupled with the unique economic circulation and trading characteristics of blockchain games, this provides players with a unique gaming experience.

Compared to other blockchain games on the current market, Seraph has the following advantages:

1. Higher game quality and lower player learning threshold.
2. More diverse game content, including ten chapters of storyline, hundreds of maps, various playable professions, and a vast library of equipment affixes numbering in the billions.
3. A more stable economic design aimed at long-term economic circulation.

In addition, Seraph also supports multiple platforms, allowing play on both PC and mobile, and is working towards launching on Steam.

Web2 and Web3 work in tandem, NFT-driven game economy

The core economic cycle of Seraph is divided into two main lines:

1. Players participate in the Void Otherworld Dungeon, wearing NFT equipment can simultaneously achieve "gold farming" and obtain Soul Crystals.
2. Players consume Soul Crystals to participate in the Chaotic Secret Realm dungeon, with a chance to obtain rare asset drops.

The core assets in the game mainly include NFTs and the token SRF. The equipment NFT is the core, named the Unique NFT series, which includes the dazzling gold chaotic equipment that has appeared in the first two tests, as well as the extremely rare dark gold equipment that is currently in planning.

The third test without deleting archives is imminent, and the blind box white list activity is ready to launch.

Seraph is about to launch its third test, which will be a non-destructive test for some assets. Players can obtain Unique NFT equipment by participating in the blind box presale and use it in the subsequent actual gold farming test. In addition, there will be some fragments dropping in the third test, and players who collect the fragments can synthesize limited edition dark gold equipment NFTs from the Unique NFT series.

For early supporters, such as SPP NFT holders or players who participated in the first two rounds of closed testing, the Seraph team has stated that special rights and benefits will be granted. The recent surge in SPP NFT prices and trading volume reflects players' confidence and expectations for the game.

Deepen Community Engagement and Look to the Future

The Seraph team believes that the key to the large-scale application of blockchain games lies in providing high-quality game content, lowering user thresholds, and establishing community trust. They are working to optimize the gaming experience, reduce the learning costs for Web2 users, and build trust through continuous interaction with the community.

Facing the current market environment, the Seraph team stated that they will continue to build products during the bear market, hoping to create the most enjoyable and enduring games in the community alongside players, and to build the most powerful and cohesive community. They believe that good blockchain games can transcend bull and bear markets and even attract external funds, bringing new vitality to the market.
