At 14:00 UTC on October 25th, Minh Nguyen joined AMA on $PSB’s Official Telegram Group. During the AMA, Minh introduced PSB’s project, staking program and alpha test. He not only shared the economic model but he also answered many questions from users. In addition, $300 would been given to the 10 best questions (including pre-ordered questions and selected and highly rated questions in the live-question).

Planet Sandbox is the ultimate physics-powered sandbox shooting game. Build and own arenas to fight other players in different game modes using your own NFT weapons and accessories. Powered by the $PSB and $PULV token, PSB is the new Metaverse’s world with P2E !

Minh Nguyen’s sharing knowledge points are full, and here we will sort out the essence of AMA for everyone to review.

Q1: First of all, can you briefly introduce yourself as well as your project to all audiences?

Minh Nguyen: Sure. As you know, Planet Sandbox is a game that combines building and real-time PvP game mode. Players can build their own worlds or join intense fighting mode using NFT weapons and accessories.

Project is based on Binance Smart Chain.

The project’s vision is to create a metaverse built and controlled by players. It can serve a wide variety of players. Not only to earn but also to enjoy the game.

Q2: Every member of our community is very excited about the staking program. Can you elaborate more on the details of the pools available?

Minh Nguyen: There are 4 staking pools, each has a different committed staking duration: 15 days, 90 days, 180 days and 365 days.

The APR, minimum & maximum staking limit per user, and pool cap of each pool is also different. Please refer to this table for details:

Q3: What are the benefits of staking with Planet Sandbox? Can members unstake anytime or is it locked?

Minh Nguyen: There are three benefits of joining our staking program:

1/ First merit is the very attractive APR (annual percentage rate). The longer you stake, the higher interest rate you are eligible for. Instead of letting your $PSB sit there ineffectively, you can utilise them to stake with us to earn even more $PSB.

2/ Secondly, the whitelist for Alpha test program is another perk of staking. Even though this advantage is not available for pool 15 days, for pool 90 days you only need to stake at least 2000 $PSB to be eligible for the whitelist of Alpha test. For pool 180 days and pool 356 days, the whitelist is automatically distributed to stakers of these pools.

3/ Last but not least, we also have incentives for early-birds. For the first 10 stakers of each pool, we will reward them 50 $PSB each. This amount will be added to the total amount to be unstaked at the end of pool’s duration.

Members can unstake anytime. However, if you unstake in advance, only the principal amount will be returned to your account and you will not be able to redeem your interest, as well as the early-birds prize if applicable.

Q4: When will the staking portal go live for members to stake? Is there a limited timeline for the pools to close?

Minh Nguyen: As we prioritise our community’s security, the staking portal is going through the audit process with CertiK. It is expected to be released on 28 Oct 2021. The exact time will be announced soon, don’t miss out on the chance to become early-birds.

There is no fixed timeline for the pools to close. However, each pool has a different pool cap. Once the pool reaches its capacity, it will automatically close.

Q5: Can you sneak peak which game mode will be available on the Alpha test?

Minh Nguyen: There are two game modes available for this Alpha test: Builder mode and Survival mode. For the Builder mode, the player will be offered with a default land with mountainous terrain to customise. Land owners can set the location of items such as guns, buildings and lootbox. Moreover, they can customise the statistics of game features such as limit on players each session, time for each session, center of map, etc.

Eagle Eye will be a part of our game, will you open it in lootbox.

Survival mode is a shooting game — last man stand will win.

Warriors will enter a session in the land of their choices. Guns will not be equipped from the start but they will have to find it. The map will shrink along with time and players will lose blood when outside of the playzone.

Q6: How can members get whitelisted for the Alpha test program?

Minh Nguyen: The available slots are approximately 2000 testers. As mentioned before, we offer a whitelist for Alpha test to our stakers.

Other than that, we are partners with some game guilds and will also offer a whitelist to their scholars.

If the whitelist slots are still available, we will airdrop them through an Gleam airdrop for the community to participate.

Q7: What about the incentives for Alpha testers?

Minh Nguyen: The prize pool is up to 5000 $PSB for top players in leaderboard and also for most viewed Youtube review of our Alpha test.

Details will be announced soon. Other than that, we also have a feedback portal to receive opinions from the public to improve our game.

We may randomly reward the most constructive and critical feedback from community members.

The questions from the community question part.

There is no pandemic at all for Planet Sandbox. We are big project and development for very long time so it’s just a development time and token is very stable right now.

Q2: Do you guys feel satisfied by seeing your progresses and achievements till now, when you look back to the day when you have started this project?

Minh Nguyen: I’m very proud of my team, they have worked very hard until now for their current achievement. We have a big community and a strong plan.

But we need work harder in the next time because the game needs a big focus on best quality possible.

Q3: Truly, you’ve done AMA in many telegram groups, so what next, what other way will you make your project more popular?

Minh Nguyen: It will be streamers and influencers play our game. There will be a collab plan with other NFT projects to make it metaverse and globally like the NFT gun, vehicle can use between multiple game or renting feature and anything possible.

Q4: Many projects have problems with UI / UX and this one turns off new users. How do you plan to improve the interaction with new users and with users outside the crypto space?

Q5: Can you tell me more details on the IDO? The schedule and contribution for each?

Minh Nguyen: We support multi platform web, mobile, pc and try our best for the low end devices. Not only about hardware, we are making a Play To Earn and Free To Earn system. But if you want to withdraw token, you need a wallet. You can join our game as a “warrior” role without initial investment.​​

Q7: Do you have a coin burn / buyback system or do you plan to increase the value of those token burn tokens and attract investors to invest?

Minh Nguyen: Yes we do. we have AI to calculate the market balance and auto burn $PULV.

On the other hand, there will be manually buy back for PSB or NFT which not fit with the game meta and burn.

Q8: Did you consider community feedback/requests during the creation of your product in order to expand on fresh ideas for your project? Many projects fail because the target audience and clients are not understood. So I’d like to know who your ideal consumer is for your product?

Minh Nguyen: We have $PSB as a governance token. $PSB holders are able to have a chance to vote and affect our game meta.cWe’re developing our feedback portal to support quick conversation between developer and community.
