Hi @everyone 

As mentioned leading up to launch, we are looking to add some CRYSTAL incentivized pools to the Ice Gardens. We can happily say that with the CRYSTAL airdrop release commencing tomorrow, we will also look to have 3 NEW POOLS as well --> CRYSTAL:AVAX, CRYSTAL:USDC , and CRYSTAL:JEWEL. We will be setting these up shortly with a temporary low allocation to ensure they work properly, and then raising them to a higher allocation just before the airdrops.

With the birth of Crystal and the Ice Gardens pairs starting to be built out, Phase 1 of the Crystalvale launch is underway and progressing well! That means we need to start planning for Phase 2 of Crystalvale --> Gen0 HEROES!

As we have said, we are looking to have the vast majority of the limited supply of Crystalvale Gen0 Heroes (Seer and Berserker classes!) go to the community as a reward for gameplay and overall participation.

We have already announced some interesting ways to do this, with Perilous Journey rewards and through the new Leaderboards competition and rewards system. But with the CRYSTAL airdrop upon us, we wanted to offer added incentive to those holding and staking CRYSTAL, so we will be doing a Crystalvale Jeweler-based snapshot to lead up to the release of these unique and limited Heroes.

We will be running a snapshot based on how much CRYSTAL a wallet has staked in the Crystalvale Jeweler, starting April 4th for 3 weeks, ending at 11:59pm EST on April 25th. Each wallet can only win once and the entry calculation will be an average over the time period. So the longer you stake during that period, all else equal, the higher your chances will be!

How it will work --> each 10 xCRYSTAL will earn 1 ticket for the raffle. There will be a multiple applied for milestones, adding 0.1x to each 100 xCRYSTAL. So at 100 xCRYSTAL, tickets awarded would be 10 x 1.1 or 11 tickets,  200 xCRYSTAL gets 24 rickets,  300 xCRYSTAL gets 39 tickets... and so on.

We are not holding back on this giveaway, we will have 100 (yup... ONE HUNDRED!) Gen0 Heroes as rewards for this special snapshot raffle.

We hope all are excited about the new realm and look forward to all the amazing features and additions to come! Happy staking!
