$200M+ TVL Reached
It has almost become tradition at this point. It’s crazy to think that we have surpassed over $200,000,000 in TVL so far.
To celebrate this milestone, we have distributed 300 JEWEL and 20 Tears to 20 lucky winners on Twitter. If you aren’t following our Twitter account already, we highly recommend doing so to get involved in community giveaways like this.
DeFi Kingdoms Team Breakdown
We understand. As we continue developing as both a project and community, it is important to know which team member is part of which department.
Currently, DeFi Kingdoms is composed of three main departments: Design, Marketing and Development (as seen in the organization chart above). We will always make announcements, and even job requests if needed, when onboarding new people onto the team.
Introducing the Town Crier & Nolan the Sage
The Town Crier is our official short and sweet community newsletter, which we will also be posting on a weekly basis.
You’ll be able to stay updated on community contests, upcoming events and important team announcements via the Town Crier!
We would also like to introduce you to Nolan the Sage, a new face in the Kingdom that’ll act as a helping hand as we are creating a simple user tutorial for newcomers getting started on DeFi Kingdoms.
Speaking of Sages, we will be releasing a guide very soon covering the two new Elite classes: Dragoon and Sage!
Tavern Goes Live on Beta
The past week has just been filled with testing before the Alpha release. We have been extra careful and rigorous during this process, as it is crucial we make sure there are no errors. The last thing we want is for Heroes to be sent into the void!
We also had to build out an entirely new subgraph API to power this data-hungry Tavern, and everything has been working amazingly so far! We released the upgraded Tavern on October 24 at 12 PM EST on Beta.
Revamping UI & Graphics
You can already see how the Tavern has been re-designed above in the Beta! But, you’ll be happy to know that locations are not the only things being revamped. The design team has also been extremely busy revamping the Hero card designs!
Changes like this really help set the tone of DeFi Kingdoms and bring the game to life. Shiny cards also have more lively visual graphics now, to really make them stand out in comparison to other Heroes.
