Lands
Lands are a cornerstone feature of the CardanoLands Universe and one that enables us to leverage the power of the Metaverse.
What are Lands?
The different types of Lands
There are currently 2 Land types based on their location within the game. These are known as “Forest” and “Winter” biomes. Each type offers unique benefits for its owner, but it does not necessarily add an element of rarity. “Forest” Lands produce more Wood resources, while “Winter” Lands produce more Stone resources. Both are important within the game, and the biomes are randomly distributed among Lands during their minting in the third quarter of 2023.
Aside from biomes, Lands also come in three different sizes. There are Small Lands, which are 4 cells in size, Medium Lands, which are 7 cells in size, and Large Lands, which capture 9 cells in size. The differences are described in the image below:
Becoming a Land owner
When users mint a Land Parcel, they receive the coordinates of the parcel on the Valley (global map). The coordinates represent their property and they become a Land owner. This is where the fun starts.
The Valley is publicly accessible, irrelevant of Land ownership. Everyone can click on Land parcels to review their owner and activity. But there is more. Instead of simply displaying areas on the map, CardanoLands will introduce interactive features and server-based locations that open up a whole new world of possibilities.
An important thing to keep in mind is that all Lands that will become available for minting in Q3 2023 are equipped with a limited edition EXO Mine building. This feature grants users access to the Gold Rush Event (a.k.a. EXO Staking), which distributes 15% of the total EXO supply over a period of 3 years. During the Gold Rush event, Land owners will be able to upgrade their properties, hire workers, and scale their EXO mining activities.
Where & how to buy Land
Users can mint Lands directly through the official CardanoLands website - [LINK will be published before mint start].
The price of the Land depends on its size, and the biome is randomly chosen.
The price of Lands will be valued in USDT and converted to ADA/EXO (the payment methods) on the mint date. If users choose to pay using ADA, an equal amount of EXO will be removed from the available Sale supply. This way users don’t need to first buy EXO prior to buying Land.
EXAMPLE
Supposedly, a particular type of Land costs 200$. If, on the mint date, the ADA/USDT rate is 0,4 the Land will cost 800 ADA or 26667 EXO ( open mint rate EXO/ADA 0,03). If a user decides to pay for the Land using ADA, 26667 EXO will be removed from the available EXO supply.
The exact price for each type of Land will be announced 2-4 weeks prior to the mint, and a total of 4910/5000 will be available for minting. 90 Lands are reserved for giveaways and airdrops (72 of them already distributed).
Looking ahead
The upgrade of Lands. Users will be able to increase the size of their Land Parcel anywhere from 4 to 16 parcels, as they prime it for real estate development.
New buildings, artifacts, and tools that will expand gameplay utility.
New Avatars, which can lead expeditions and participate in major events. Users can train their avatar, helping them specialize as either a crafter, an explorer, or a warrior. The choice of their specialization determines your direction in the game.
The formation of guilds.
