Ethereum Game 'Kaidro' Launching Ronin Token This Week

The makers of anime-inspired role-playing game Kaidro: Clan Battles announced that they will launch a token on Ethereum sidechain network Ronin this week. With 35% of the supply allocated to community rewards, this opens the door to play-to-airdrop campaigns and other engagement rewards.

Kaidro is based on a webcomic series of the same name by Gadget-Bot Productions. It has since been spun out into the RPG Kaidro: Clan Battles, an audiobook series, and an upcoming animated TV series in collaboration with “Avatar: The Last Airbender” writer Tim Hedrick.

On Wednesday, December 18, the KDR token generation event (TGE) will take place on the Ronin network. If all goes to plan, then the KDR token will be available to trade via centralized exchange Bitmart and the Katana decentralized exchange on Ronin.

With the date now nailed down, detailed tokenomics have also been released. 

KDR will have a total supply of 100 million, with the largest portion of this supply at 35% being allocated to community rewards. The project plans to reward those who interact with Kaidro. from reading the webcomics to playing the game or purchasing NFTs. It appears that a transmedia play-to-airdrop campaign is on the horizon.

Another 25% of the supply is allocated to investors, with 12% for the team, unlocking every three months over a four-year period. On top of that, there is 11% set aside for liquidity, 9% for strategic advisors, 4.5% to support ecosystem development, and 3.5% for marketing.

'Match Made in Heaven': Why Ethereum RPG Kaidro Migrated to Ronin

Anime-inspired role-playing game Kaidro has already made waves on Ethereum scaling network Ronin since announcing its plans to migrate in February. A buzzy free mint in March saw nearly 350,000 free NFTs claimed by Ronin wallets, while Kaidro’s first premium mint on Ronin this week sold out some 9,999 Spark Suit NFTs—with 2,400 of those going in a public sale in just 10 seconds—generating $2 million in the process and pushing Kaidro to become the third most-traded collection on the Mavis Market....

In the announcement tweet, Kaidro’s developers explained that KDR will have utility within the anime universe. 

Namely, the token will present the opportunity to influence the anime series—likely through some sort of governance system—as well as the possibility to be a voice actor for the show. It will also unlock exclusive in-game items, allow fans to purchase merchandise, and allow them to earn in upcoming play-to-airdrop campaigns.

Once the token has been launched, next up on the project’s roadmap is for Kaidro: Clan Battles to enter closed beta and another title called Kaidro: Pocket Game to launch.
