FTX-Backed DeFi Land Opens Public Testing of Gaming Platform

DeFi Land, the agriculture-simulation game that won recognition in
Solana’s summer hackathon, is inviting GameFi enthusiasts to put
the platform through its paces. The launch of DeFi Land for public
testing – on December 22 at 4 pm UTC – follows an intensive
six-week period of behind-closed-doors testing involving 3,000
verified users, a third of whom were active daily. Ahead of the
game’s full launch in Q1 of next year, DeFi Land’s developers are
eager to let the public experience all that the ecosystem has to
offer. An all-in-one amalgam of DeFi, gaming, NFTs and metaverse,
the colourful release is open to everyone: all that’s required is a
wallet containing some SOL. Demystifying DeFi Land The first game
on Solana to conduct a public testing event prior to its full
public launch, DeFi Land is laser-focused on shipping products and
meeting milestones rather than endlessly building hype. During
public testing, players can complete mini-games to win rewards,
farm for yield, trade tokens, fish, and explore the vast, visually
rich landscape at their leisure. In other words, they can get an
accurate impression of what’s in store come February/March.
Ostensibly, the farm-themed project brings disparate DeFi protocols
under a single roof, making it altogether easier for users to
manage their portfolio from a single dashboard – while having the
opportunity to earn additional income in the metaverse. Key to the
game is its native DFL token, which will variously be used for
governance, staking, trading and NFT crafting. Interestingly, DeFi
Land recently partnered with decentralized music streaming platform
Audius, the end result being that players can listen to the radio
station directly while gaming. The sound waves will be beaming from
Audius Radio Tower, a 3D fixture recently added to the metaverse,
from the time of launch on December 22. Soon, social elements such
as a chat function will be integrated to provide a richer and more
interactive experience for players. Although a great many DeFi
protocols have tumbled off the production line in 2021 (around 70
new crypto games are debuting each month), the core team at DeFi
Land believe their release offers something far more satisfying,
not just from a visual and aesthetic perspective but also in terms
of the learning curve: both DeFi novices and O.G. liquidity
providers can connect their wallets and get a kick out of the fun
gameplay, DeFi mechanisms, and various gamified elements. Rather
than providing the infrastructure for users to acquire tokens and
passively farm, the brain trust at DeFi Land believes the DeFi
community is crying out for more. Thus, players who conduct swaps
and farm tokens will also get to embark on quests and record
achievements, with results and rewards filtering into their
portfolios. Rewards, incidentally, will include those generated by
the platform itself and others that come from DeFi Land’s extensive
partner network. At this public beta testing event, users will be
able to assess several implemented features of the project
including gamified DeFi services (swapping, LP, farming),
aggregator, mini-games for XP and leverage, and map edit mode. The
project’s creators intend to add further play-to-earn (P2E) models
and NFT integrations in the near future (Q1 2022), with a continued
emphasis on gamification and user experience. They have also teased
a reward for the dedicated players who participated in the public
testing phase that commenced in October, with further details on
that front expected soon. Go-Time for Gamefi The public’s appetite
for Gamefi is undeniable, with half of those connecting crypto
wallets in November doing so for the purpose of playing games.
Little wonder Solana Ventures this week pledged to invest $150m in
startups building play-to-earn games for its ecosystem. DeFi Land,
it would appear, is launching at just the right time. Having
already closed a $4.1 million funding round, the platform’s promise
has been recognized by several dozen major investors, among them
FTX, Animoca Brands (Axie Infinity, Dapper Labs), Alameda Research,
Jump Capital, NGC Ventures, Solana Foundation and Gate.io. The
latter platform, incidentally, supported the recent public sale of
DeFi Land’s native DFL token, alongside Raydium and Solanium.
Conducting a public testing phase is a bold step, and a sure sign
that DeFi Land’s anonymous team (each of their names are prefixed
by ‘DFL’) expect a significant volume of players to whet their
appetites for the full launch next year. They’re probably right.
