Why $10M is Conservative

Consider:

  • Presale raise: $100K

  • Market cap at $10M: Only 100x the presale

  • Similar projects: Often reach 1,000x - 10,000x

  • Free-to-play: Massive addressable market

  • Proven games: Not experimental mechanics

At $10M market cap with 300M+ circulating:

  • Only $0.0325 per token

  • Very modest for crypto gaming

  • Extremely achievable target

What This Means for You

If You're a Player

Even at conservative market caps ($500K-$1M):

  • Top daily players earn $600-$1,200/month

  • Monthly tournaments worth $800-$1,600

  • Weekly tournaments worth $130-$260

  • All completely FREE to enter

At moderate market caps ($5M-$10M):

  • Life-changing income from gaming

  • Better than most jobs in many countries

  • Completely skill-based - fair competition

If You're an Investor

Presale entry at $0.0005 offers:

  • Low-risk entry point ($100-$1,000 minimums)

  • High upside potential (1,000x+ not impossible)

  • Real utility from day one (not speculation)

  • Deflationary pressure (buyback + burn)

  • First-mover advantage (early GameFi on Arbitrum)

Risk Considerations

These scenarios assume:

  • ✅ Successful presale completion

  • ✅ Strong player adoption

  • ✅ Positive crypto market conditions

  • ✅ Effective marketing execution

  • ✅ No major technical issues

Market caps are not guaranteed. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile. See our Risk Disclaimer for full details.
