July was a month of historic growth for MatchNova. Our governance token $WCC underwent its Token Generation Event (TGE), marking a significant shift in our token economy. Moreover, we took remarkable steps to make MatchNova more sustainable and firmly adhere to our visions, ensuring a fun-filled gaming experience for our players.

Pioneering Strategies

Instead of selling $WCC through the Blind Box event, we opted to directly reward our loyal players through an airdrop event. As a result, more than 50% of the circulating supply of $WCC has been distributed to players. This allocation amount will be transferred to the players' share, enabling players to get it through gameplay.

Dynamic Pricing System

The Dynamic Pricing System (DPS) is an algorithm pioneered by the MatchNova Numerical Team, aiming to empower players with the pricing authority within the game. The required amount of token consumption varies according to the demand. NFT Hero’s Level up, Gem’s upgrade and NFT Hero’s Mint are the very first three features that the dynamic pricing system implemented. The system will utilize both $WCC and $MCC. Additionally, we've activated the $WCC burn mechanism, and $WCC spent in the dynamic pricing system will be regularly burned, making it a deflationary token.

From Crisis to Opportunity

After $WCC TGE, we encountered several days of significant volatility. However, we turned this crisis into an opportunity. The MatchNova team was swift to implement a zero sum economic model previously unseen in Web3 Gaming, successfully combating inflation. This decision has led to a 700% increase in our $MCC token from its lowest point, resulting in a rapid recovery of the game's economy. This not only demonstrates our increased resilience but also reflects the unwavering trust our players have in us.

The Journey of MatchNova

We have achieved incredible milestones together with loyal players. We deeply appreciate our players, and we are committed to growing together. Since our inception in April, we have achieved the following:

• Registered accounts: over 50,000

• Games hosted: over 3,000,000

• $MCC holders: over 10,000

• $WCC holders: over 3,500

The original mission of MatchNova remains unchanged: to provide easy-to-play and fun products, and to bring joy to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

What to Expect in August

• Treasure Hunt

• Fortunata

• Free Daily Leaderboards

MatchNova's Visionary Persistence

No matter what challenges we face, we won't back down. Creating a fun game is always our core value. Compared to our long-term vision, we're still in our infancy. $WCC will always be the governance token for future games and products offered by SuperNova Lab Ltd. We will continue to fulfill our promises, accompanying our loyal players on this incredible adventure.

• MatchNova is live on the Apple App Store, including the US.

• Revealed innovative feature which allows users to directly purchase Warriors using fiat. *Exclusive to iOS

• Despite current macro headwinds, we now have over 30,000 registered accounts, which is a 300% growth, and over a staggering 1.5 Million games played.

• Ranked Top 10 in DappBay Gaming sector.

• $WCC Airdrop Campaign launched, over 5 million $WCC have been claimed.

• Updated ranking leaderboard and badges features, adding more fun and challenge to MatchNova.

• We've received attention from numerous media outlets in different languages, including Crypto Times, CoinPost, Coin68, BlockTempo, and BSC News.

What to expect in July:

• $WCC TGE

• Dynamic Pricing Feature

• MatchNova Girls

• Multiplier will be even more exciting than before

The Dynamic Pricing Feature, a pricing strategy exclusively developed by the MatchNova team and never seen before in the industry, adjusts in real-time based on supply and demand, optimizing the balance of profits and output for more efficient resource allocation. This will ultimately allow players to decide their own price.

The $WCC TGE will be a major highlight. $WCC airdrop event will be massive. While we could have done an IEO/IDO, we believe in challenging the norm and rewarding our most loyal users. If the traditional way isn't optimal, we opt for the MatchNova Way.

Launching a project during a Bear Market is seen as an impossible task. We are very proud of our team and thankful to our users for helping us achieve over 150% growth in the first operating month. We believe the traditional model of GameFi is not sustainable. The motto of “Play to Earn” is very gimmicky and with this unhealthy culture well over 95% of projects fail to reach even 1,000 DAU (Daily Active Users). Somehow, these projects often achieve valuations worth tens of millions despite not having a working product.

We are here to change this! During the creation phase of MatchNova, we asked ourselves “ultimately, what is a game?” The answer was clear, players play because it is fun to do so. Thus, MatchNova’s product and idea of “Instant FUN” was born. We like to call our game “Play to Play”

The Genesis NFT Sale saw 10,000 unique NFTs sold out in under 30 seconds! This demonstrates the immense interest and confidence our players have in MatchNova, and it sets a promising tone for our future endeavors.

The excitement didn't stop at the NFT sale. As soon as the game launched, players flocked to engage in the thrilling Player versus Player (PvP) match-ups that MatchNova offers. Over the first week of launch MatchNova saw over 3,000 active users and has completed a staggering total of over 50,000 matches. 

Moreover, our mission to be a global gaming platform was manifested in the wide geographical reach of our players. We received players from over 30 different countries/regions during the first week. This demonstrates the global appeal of MatchNova and solidifies our commitment to creating a universally enjoyable gaming experience.

We want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all our players for their overwhelming support. Your enthusiasm and participation have been instrumental in making the Genesis NFT Sale and the first week of gameplay a tremendous success. Your passion fuels our dedication to deliver an easy-to-play and entertaining product that brings joy to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

As we celebrate these milestones, we remain committed to the continual development and improvement of MatchNova. We will keep striving to enhance the gaming experience and introduce innovative features that will make our game even more exciting and engaging.

Let’s get that EXTRA MOVE!

With the Beta Test ending successfully, MatchNova is set to launch the highly anticipated Genesis NFT Sale on April 22nd 1pm UTC+8. OG & WL players will be able to download the game one day before to deposit BNB in preparation for the sale. All other players can access the game on April 22nd 4pm UTC+8.

MatchNova Genesis NFT Sale will be conducted in the following four rounds:

Round 1: OG & WL Limited Round (1 NFT max per user)

Round 2: OG Airdrop Round

Round 3: OG & WL Unlimited Round

Round 4: Public Sale followed by Game Launch!

*The price will be 0.2 BNB each

Delivering a playable product sounds a lot easier than it is. We appreciate all the patience and support from our players as our team and product become more polished over time. We are in the very early stage of growth and am excited to have you all here with us. MatchNova aims to deliver “Instant-FUN” to players across the globe through interactive gaming. We want our products to be played by ANYone, ANYtime, and by ANYwhere!

Another highlight of March is the announcement of MatchNova’s fundraising details. The team revealed the successful $1 million Seed Round. Leading the round was Aipollo Investment, with participation from LinkVC, Ace Direct International, and other investors.

With a burgeoning following, MatchNova has garnered media attention from the following medias:

ABMedia (Traditional Chinese) - Link

BSC Daily (English) - Link

BSC News (English) - Link 1, Link 2 

ChainCatcher (Simplified Chinese) - Link

ODaily (Simplified Chinese) - Link

TikTok KOL (Vietnamese) - Link

*Medias listed in alphabetical order

Moreover, we are delighted to have gained recognition from BNB Chain, marking a major milestone for the project - Link

Apart from industrial moguls, MatchNova is seeing a growing number of hardcore fans. We have also seen a large influx of new supporters from various countries who are passionate about gaming and believe in the MatchNova vision.

We appreciate and value all members of our community and our partners. We remain committed to ensuring that MatchNova is a project that we can all take pride in. April will be an exciting month!

The Alpha Test was a resounding success, thanks to the invaluable feedback and support from the 500 participants who took part. To show our gratitude, we've distributed $10,000 USD in rewards to eligible participants.

Moving forward, we're excited to invite our earliest supporters to experience new features in the next “Closed Beta” phase, which starts on April 7th. After Closed Beta, we'll be doing special airdrops leading up to the launch of our genesis NFT sale, which will be limited to 10,000 units in total. We anticipate very high demand for the genesis drop so make sure you secure a whitelist prior to the sale!

We’ve updated our whitepaper by adding the following four topics: introduction to our various NFT characters and their ultimate moves, explanation for the four different maps in-game, a “Tips & Tricks” section to help you gain tactical advantage, and lastly additional information on “Lucky Spin” outcome probability.

We can't wait for you to join us on this exciting journey and experience all that MatchNova has to offer. Stay tuned for further updates by following our Twitter https://twitter.com/MatchNovaGlobal. Let's keep the fun rolling!

Starting a project in a bear market is no easy task. Startups itself face a ton of hurdles already, but with the lack of confidence market wide, the headwind will be especially strong. However, the team at MatchNova sees opportunities to be had in a bear market, particularly in the Web3 GameFi arena.

1. True builders stand out: endless projects blossom in a bull market. This can create intense competition and make it more difficult for one project to stand out and succeed. As famous American poet Robert Frost once said “Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Here at MatchNova we share this vision. We have the utmost faith in our product and our team to weather the storm and come out ahead.

2. Belief in GameFi potential: according to CoinMarketCap, the amount of funds raised by projects related to the Metaverse and gaming saw a significant increase from $874 million in 2021 to $2.4 billion in 2022 led by VC’s such as Sony and Sandbox. MatchNova also successfully raised funds from several tier-1 Venture Capitals. Product wise, Match3 games have a great track record in the Web2 space. The game has been around for over 10 years, appeals to all ages, and generates significant revenue across the globe. Additionally, bear markets actually allow a patient team to gradually polish the game at a reasonable pace instead of a frenzied one. We are devoted and are confident of our chances despite the market conditions.

3. Bear market is cyclical: by history, it is NOT permanent. During a downturn, by being resilient and keeping a long-term perspective, projects that are able to weather the storm may be well positioned to take advantage of the eventual recovery. During this time, it is easier for us to acquire true users as opposed to speculators during a wild bull market. With that said, we would like to reward our earliest supporters with a chance to win free cash prizes and be the first to test out our game. This promotion, named CashNova, will distribute $10,000 BUSD to alpha stage game testers. Stay tuned for more details by following our Twitter.

What is Web3 GameFi?

Web3 GameFi is a term used to refer to a type of decentralized gaming platform that is built on top of Web3 technology. In essence, the core of Web3 technology focuses around the use of blockchain and smart contracts. They enable the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) that are not controlled by any single entity.

Web3 GameFi platforms offer a number of benefits over traditional gaming platforms. For example, due to the nature of decentralization, the games are not subject to the same types of censorship and control that centralized platforms face. This means that developers have more freedom to create unique and innovative games without worrying about any interference.

The decentralized theme carries over to users as well, it offers players direct control over their own assets and data. In traditional gaming platforms, players often have to trust the platform to not abuse the use of their personal information or make amendments to in-game assets (an example would be nerfing). Being a player and stakeholder at the same time (through possession of tokens), users are incentivized directly to participate in the game, both for fun and for potential profit. 

Although the Web3 integration sounds exciting, a game is, at the fundamental level, something that has to be fun to play. This is where MatchNova is prepared to shine!

Why a PvP matching game?

MatchNova is a match-three puzzle game developed and published by Supernova Lab Limited. In the game, players must match three or more icons of the same color to clear them from the board and earn points. The game has very little learning curve and will appeal to all age groups. Although easy to play, the game has plenty of tactical depth and also includes some elements of luck! Per our research, similar games world wide have around 500 million active users every month! We are confident that the potential market is massive and could last up to 10 years. 

In MatchNova we have a special mode called Battle mode which allows users to select opponents and challenge them directly. We also have a creative element called “Lucky Spin” in which users will have the chance to win even more tokens after a “Normal game” play. This will certainly add an additional twist to an already exciting game. We will also randomly airdrop prizes to users to spice things up!

Our unique NFT system adds a ton of tactical depth to the game. With each NFT comes a different “Ultimate move.” The combinations of when to use which character is going to be an exciting part of the game! Users can also freely transact their NFTs in the marketplace or can choose to upgrade their NFTs using by burning tokens. 

What you should know about Match Nova?

We started the project in September of 2022 and quickly completed seed investment by October. Our team of over 30 members come from all over the globe and have extensive backgrounds in blockchain, AI, and gaming. We are finalizing the project and expect the alpha release to be in Q1 of 2023. Currently we are backed by several tier-1 Venture Capital Groups. The list will be revealed soon.

With such enormous support, MatchNova is in an extremely promising position to become one of the most popular Web3 PvP games of this decade.
