Bloktopia is a tokenized decentralized metaverse on Polygon, with the aim of being a central hub for gamified crypto education. BLOK is the name and ticker symbol of Bloktopia metaverse's native utility token.
The cryptocurrency universe can be complex to navigate and monetize as multiple channels and products exist. To solve this issue, the Bloktopia metaverse built a 21-storey virtual reality skyscraper where users can educate themselves on crypto, earn revenue through real estate ownership and advertising, play games, create virtual events and much more.
Blocktopia gamifies their ecosystem through their non-fungible tokens (NFTs), REBLOK and ADBLOK. REBLOK NFTs give you ownership of the purchased space and enable you to develop it as you please using the Bloktopia SDK. On the other hand, ADBLOK NFTs provide you with advertising rights in the Bloktopia metaverse. By purchasing ADBLOK NFTs, you will get 50% of all the revenue generated through your ADBLOK.
Bloktopia has partnered with Venly to develop their digital assets, including fungible and non-fungible tokens. Bloktopia also partnered with Anzu, a leading in-game advertiser backed by WPP and Sony, to place ads in the Bloktopia metaverse.
BLOK tokens are the native medium of exchange in the Bloktopia metaverse. Using BLOK tokens, you can purchase REBLOK and ADBLOK NFTs, access exclusive privileges and VIP events and participate in play-to-earn (P2E) games and their launchpad.
BLOK price and tokenomics
BLOK has a total supply of 200 billion tokens. Bloktopia's initial DEX offering (IDO) was held on October 5 and 6, 2021 on four launchpads – Seedify, Red Kite, Oxbull and Trustpad.
Out of the total supply, 19% were distributed amongst the following: 3.29% to early adopters, 4% to a seed round, 4.15% to the first private sale, 6.16% to the second private sale and 1.4% to a public sale.
33% of BLOK tokens were reserved for the Bloktopia treasury. From the remaining supply, 25% was allocated to the staking reward pool, 15% to the team, 7% for Bloktopia advisors and 1% for exchange liquidity.
With a high fully circulating market capitalization for the project, BLOK charts typically show a downtrend when vesting unlocks. To control the effects of this sell pressure on BLOK's price, Bloktopia burned $1 million worth of BLOK tokens on February 2, 2022.
