FRANK | Apeiron :
Yes! Hello everyone, Frank here 👋, I am the Cofounder and LoreKeeper of Foonie Magus. Apeiron is our 2nd franchise and our first attempt into Blockchain territory. Apeiron is also my personal dream project that began production with a small team since 2016. More on that later… a bit on myself
Quick rundown of my life -> born and raised in Hong Kong -> went to college in Wisconsin and worked in Chicago for 2 years as a management consultant -> went back to Hong Kong in 2009 to work in a private equity fund -> spent 6 years in the southern china region, invested in the tech and venture funds boom there -> then in 2016, I decided to leave the lucrative buy side and start my own digital entertainment company, one that focuses on game development and global franchising….
and.. the reason is… I love games! I have been an avid gamer all my life. My game library and accomplishments dwarves my normal resume LOL… I was a freaking warlord and gladiator in WoW damnit! And I did it as a feral druid before they buffed the class 😤 I was also in Cal-M in CSS, and I reach top 50 in red alert and starcraft ladders back in the days 💪… okok… digressing
so yea… I am just a silly dreamer…. who wants to create something truly fun and interesting… with a team of silly dreamers and crazy workaholics just like me!
We have 3 Overlords, one of them is Gem, our LoreScribbler! This dude started his own gaming company back in the days, publishing over a 100 projects… but he moved to crypto in 2018, he helped engineer the launch of the Measurable Data Token (MDT)!! It’s 2018, so they weathered the crypto winter, and to this day, MDT has a market cap of around 50 million! So yea… Gem and their team is on board Apeiron, with both game development and blockchain experience!!!
And last we have our Loremaster Orange, this guy’s knowledge and roots in the game industry is… what gave me the confidence to start this company and enter the business, fully committed. He is an extremely experienced developer, with his own game development company, which is very much a part of Aither now… he was in the industry for over 16 years.. over 40 great titles published and across all mediums you can imagine… he also sits on the boards and panels that approve government funding for other local developers and e-sports teams, that’s how we source a lot of our inhouse talents!

We started out with 5 in 2016, quickly expanded to 20 in the second year… out of these 20… only i am new to the gaming industry… all 19 other haves been around over 10+ years, they are all veterans in the industry… well anyway.. most of them are into development of the first franchise… then we moved to 30, with around 8 people working on Apeiron all this time. This number slowly increased, and with the decision to go into full production for Apeiron the block chain game… we moved up quickly, now we have 20+ developers on Apeiron team, another 10 coming on board next month, and then… around 15+ outsourced personnel from around the world, mostly for artwork outsourcing.

Sorry… this is the longest intro… because… we are a large team that has been working on Apeiron for over 6 years… But I promise this is the longest read, the rest will be shorter!! Relatively…. 😅
Host :
Thanks for sharing your background. Good. AMA let’s get started. ☺️☺️
SESI 1 (Poject Introduction)
Host :
Well we will continue to the first session, in this session I will give a question about APEIRON if you feel you have enough to give an answer, you can say “DONE”. Okey sir Mr. @Frankbocheng
FRANK | Apeiron :
More emoji and stickers, less words, easier for @Seulbe12 ☺️
Q1. 1) Many projects are just clones of existing ones, and an analogue of an existing one is created. Do you have different and creative qualities from those who look like you?
FRANK | Apeiron :
To be honest… there is none like us out there… definitely not on the block chain, and not in the entire gaming industry in this day and age.
We are actually a wanna be spirtiual successor of the original Black and White, a PC game in 2001. The god game genre has been very silent since mind 2000s, and it was my personal mission to revive them in the modern era.
We actually try to be innovative with everything we do, not just in the blockchain arena, but also new to the entire gaming industry. From our take on god simulation gameplay, to our unique card-based action RTS battle system… to a tritoken driven economy, and even our current airdrop events are a unique take of 12 consecutive events with a collectible reward element at the end! There really is nothing quite like us out there. Even our planet breeding system is introducing something new to the whole breeding genre, via the idea of Elemental purification!
DONE
Q2. Does project currently have a marketing plan? to attract the community to participate in your project how does the project promote the project? On what channels- users can find your project?
FRANK | Apeiron :
February is our core marketing awareness month actually! We will be partnering with 7 marketing agencies from around the world to launch promotional campaigns across 5 continents!
I myself am doing 3 AMAs a week as well to practice for the upcoming major AMAs with all the gaming guilds that have partnered with us!
We will be announcing the closing of our Preseed Round next week, one of the highest Preseed Valuations in Gamefi history, 3 million USD raised with a 50 Million FDV! Stay tuned to our Twitter! That’s the centralized channel for all major announcements!
But the fun is all in our communities though 😜, our community game master is hosting a poker tournament right now!!! Oh how I wish I could join them…. https://discord.gg/8YrjDuEZ
Done
Q3. Who are APERION strategic investors?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Well our official announcement is next week, but I’ll let you guys in on a sneak peek.
ZombieClub- Asia’s first Web3 thinktank, backed by major chinese celebrity KOLs and technology conglomerates. Apeiron and ZombieClub will work together to revolutionize and promote best practices in the web3 space.
YGGSEA, Snackclub, Freedom Nation- Up and rising crypto gaming DAOs, harbingers of crypto hungry nations, eager to tap into the potential of the metaverse. Early Apeiron believers who will help set the stage for Apeiron to become an epic game-centric Godiverse.
Leo Ventures, IVC, Trill Ventures- New crypto venture funds with passionate and dedicated teams who shares Foonie Magus’ vision. to create lasting franchises in the metaverse and enable future pioneers to build grand projects for the metaverse.
Enzac Research, Skyvision Capital – Veteran teams in the web3 space, offering indepth experience and professional support to ensure the fundamentals of apeiron are of the foremost standards in the ever shifting metaverse.
Sing Tsang, Aither Entertainment- Real world franchising partners that will help build the bridge between physical world audiences with the metaverse, driving adopting via the power of storytelling and merchandising.
Q4. Almost 80% investors have just focused on price of token in short term instead of understanding the real value of the project. Can you tell us on motivations and benefits for investors to hold your token in long term?
FRANK | Apeiron :
I think most investors look at P2E tokenomics just like any other Defi project, which honestly only encompass part of the whole. All P2E games are about both NFTs and Tokens, you can’t correctly valuate a P2E game if you don’t take into consideration how the NFTs come into play. More often than not, the NFT themselves have greater short term value than the Tokens themselves!
The simplest way to answer this question is, well, our tokens are used to help you create rarer NFTs, and our yield farming mechanisms from out tritoken economy shall provide one of the most attractive yields in the most stable Play 2 Earn economy. Can’t really say more to this, we have a novel take on liquidity pool staking mechanisms that is really our secret weapon… sorry.
But.. as for pricing… Lol… I am actually fighting every step of my way to hold my token price hikes between rounds low LOLOL!!! 🤣🥳And I will continue to hope and do so to ensure a gentle uptrend until game launch!!
You see… I am actually from an old school finance and private equity background, and I don’t really like the current hype based 3000%+ models… If you are looking for that in our price… I am sorry, I believe there are many other opportunities out there… So pls… Pls don’t come to apeiron…. 👋👋
Because for projects like Apeiron… Of this size, scope and dedication… We want to do it proper, proper for the web3 community, and proper for the gaming industry… we want to show the Blockchain is more than hype and quick money… And it is the best grounds with which great games should be built on! 🚀
Yes.. I am an idealist… And borderline unrealistic… thank God I have great cofounders who keep me on the ground… 🙇 But… yea… I believe I have the best project…the best team, the best partners… I have the best deck ♠️ in my hand! So I am not going to flip it away for a 50000% price jump, I am here to build a lasting franchise on the Blockchain. ♾
Q5. As an investor, safety is always one of the biggest concerns. What kind of security protection do you provide for the APERION platform? How to ensure the safety of customer assets?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Well… We are going to audit all our smart contract with leading blockchain security companies like CertiK. 🧐 But… the reality is that no code is perfect.No one can say they’re immune from getting hacked,🤷♂️ even after we follow the best practices out there to protect ourselves and our users. So that’s where the second phase of our blockchain security operation comes in. Headed by our Cofounders and Lorescribbler,😈 Gem, who engineered the Measurable Data Token (MDT), we’re developing an in-house monitoring system, a unique algorithm that will monitor transactions and help us to sniff out anything fishy.🐡 With this system in place, we’ll be able to react immediately in the event of any issues. A preventative AND reactive security measure so to speak 👍

SESI 2 (Twitter Question)
Q1. Seperti yang Anda ketahui, kekuatan komunitas akan memimpin proyek untuk berkembang secara global. Karena dunia DeFi berkembang sangat cepat & menjadi lebih kompetitif, apa rencana Anda untuk menarik komunitas? apakah Anda memiliki tim pemasaran yang baik? Acara apa yang Anda persiapkan untuk menarik investor?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Epic pasting action at the ready! We actually have our own inhouse marketing team, we have 2 franchises, and the first one is set to be launched globally in 1 month. Our team encompasses individuals with over 20 years of digital marketing experiences in the Asia Market. As for the global reach, well, we are utilizing both gaming guilds and marketing agencies from different continents across the world!
When we say we are building a game-centric Godiverse, we actually start out by partnering with gaming guilds from all around the world, to have them help us build our community there. A lot of the gaming guilds are very well connected to the local crypto communities, because of their potential, and it is through them, that we will also be sourcing all sorts of contacts and community building! We don’t just employ them as a service, we also help them promote awareness via our community events that will be broadcasted across the world with our media partners!
Q2. Each platform will model the “Game Metaverse” in different ways in their project. With #ApeironNFT, what does the Metaverse concept mean to you and how did you apply it in this platform? How does this help improve the game system in #ApeironNFT and improve the user experience?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Our definition of the Metaverse is that.. well. there is only ONE metaverse, and it is a digital nation that encompasses the entirety of web3! It should be the ultimate DAO so to speak, where no single entity should claim ownership of. It would be the ultimate digital collaboration platform for all web3 developers. Well… we believe the Metaverse is still a good 3-5 years away… but what NFTs and NFT games could engage in now is the concept of digital property rights, which no real world copyright or trademark can hope to provide.
Apeiron shall be laying the pebbles for the grand road towards the metaverse. We are a game first, so Apeiron’s task is to provide utility for NFTs, our most versatile offer in the beginning is to allow various PFP NFTs to interact with our worlds as Gods! The hand you see in our trailer? That’s a PFP NFT! It could be a punk, a kittie, an ape, a zombie… We extend open arms to all forms of collaboration between different projects and developers, please read our medium article on our take to the metaverse!
Done
Q3. Game developing on blockchain is great idea but there are continuous bug fixing, updated versions, new levels should be added for any game So, these questions the level of decentralization and do you think we can have fully decentralized game development using blockchain?
FRANK | Apeiron :
yes, we will offer development direction votes for our governance token holders, we will offer our own proposals, as well as proposals from community suggestions up to be voted on. ☑️This will typically involve the use of our treasury, new content priority, funny good and evil scenarios with which the canon Apeiron story is gong to take etc….
but
we believe a true DAO should not only take into consideration the voting power of governance token holders
being a P2E game, with 3 tokens, NFTs and a large gaming community
We will consider the weight and fairness of all asset holders, to ensure the decision is made by the entire community, not just APRS holders!⚖️
Of course, APRS holders will have their fair share of votes… after all.. thats the fundamental point of a governance token 😅
Ultimately, though… I still don’t see the possibility of fully decentralized governance of game development using blockchain… well.. at least not with a project with the size and scope of Apeiron… I want the ones who decide to have the ultimate dream of having Apeiron become a franchise just like us…
Q4. Many games released and releasing everyday. But Other NFT games are currently having difficulties managing the number of NFTs that are inflated in the market, causing their value to be influenced and damaged. So, what is #ApeironNFT plan to deal with NFT inflation?
FRANK | Apeiron :
For Planets, we have the Chronomerging gameplay feature. Planets have an age in Apeiron, once minted, they will age, just like wine! Each month is like 100 years in Godiverse time, depending on the star you orbit around, some ages faster (due to gravity wink). The older your planet, the more Relic slots (aka equipment slots) it can hold. You can speed up aging, by merging another planet NFT with yours, which cost ANIMA only.
For Relics, Relics are actually NFTs of NFT! They need to be installed into your planet to become part of your Planet NFT! Once installed, it is burned, and the only way to turn it back into an NFT is by using out governance tokens to mint them back into Relic NFTs! The cost of each mint will increase, so, the same volcano can only be minted into a Relic so many times, before the price gets too high and not be worth the effort.
Yup, NFT burning mechanisms to enhance gameplay
Done
Q5. There are many NFT projects incorporating Metaverse today. So there should be high competitiveness in the market, and users more selective when participating in new platforms. So, what are the excellent features that make @ApeironNFT stand out from other blockchain projects?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Well….. honestly…. every feature in Apeiron stands out from the crowd… but if I am allowed to name one… that is the epic guild content of our Mythology galaxies. Our mythology galaxies all feature giant guild contents… dungeon raids, world bosses… GvG battlegrounds… seasonal eSports events…. this is where guilds have to compete and fight to earn our precious Ringularity token. Each mythology galaxy functions like an entire continent expansion in MMO games… offering new and interesting ways for guilds to compete and engage in the story rich content reimagined from different creation myths from around the world! This is also the reason why we are forming our economic back bone with MANY gaming guilds, to set the stage for the most epic guild gaming action on GALACTIC proportions!
SESI 3 (Telegram Question)
Js Mag :
Part of Apeiron’s community activities is its 12 events which may include airdrops and prizes. The first two events are already done. May I know, when are you planning to conduct the third one? How can we be updated with the news like these?
FRANK | Apeiron :
We feature many different events each week, but yes, the 12 Origins Apostles are our main event. This is actually the 5th event we are running now. 7 More to go! The 12 Origin Apostles encompasses the 12 classes of Dood Apostles that will accompany your Avatar in combat. Each with their own unique skills and outlooks.
Not only are these Apostle NFTs playable… these Apostles also hold a great secret value!!! For they are a collection set! We will announce the collection rewards this Friday actually! So yes… please participate in our weekly Origins event and get your hands on them! Their value is about to sky rocket after we announce the collection rewards and after the ZombieClub celebrities tell you about them!

Sen :
Apeiron aims to be a spiritual successor of Black and white game, but can you tell us how many devices will be able to play it? will you support only PCs or Mobile devices as well?
According with your ecosystem, Apeiron have 3 different tokens on its platform, so why do you need 3 tokens ? Can you tell us what are their uses cases?
FRANK | Apeiron :
We will launch on both PC and Mobile, we are developing with Unity and have the mobile platform in our mind first and foremost. As for the 3 tokens… allow me to copy and paste some templates!!
APRS is our governance token, akin to AXS of axie infinity, it has a limited supply of 1 billion. They can be acquired mainly from the exchanges or in the arenas as rewards in the higher tiers. They are used mainly for Celestial Conjunction (planet breeding) and Relic Minting. Player progress in Apeiron would normally be lost when you reset your planets to earn ANIMA. However, you could actually “save” part of your progress: the volcanoes and waterfalls you groom, the pyramids the doods built for you… and even heroic apostle you recruit from the dungeons! By consuming APRS, you can mint them into Relic NFTs, and use it in a new cycle right from the start! Or, you can always sell them in the marketplace!
ANIMA is our play 2 earn currency, akin to axie’s SLP, it is unlimited and minted by players themselves, it is created mainly by players “resetting” and sacrificing their progress. (much like tap tap games if you have played any) They will be used mainly for Chrono merging and Celestial Conjunction, that’s planet aging and planet breeding. Breeding should be easy to understand enough, but the planet aging part is new. For you see, Planets have an age in Apeiron, once minted, they will age, just like wine! Each month is like 100 years in Godiverse time, depending on the star you orbit around, some ages faster (due to gravity wink). The older your planet, the more Relic slots (aka equipment slots) it can hold. You can speed up aging, by merging another planet NFT with yours, which cost ANIMA only.
RNGU functions like a premium team 2 earn token, it is also unlimited and minted by player actions, but this one is REALLLL tough to mint, for you need to participate in Zodiac (guild) level events that take place in the Mythology Galaxies. The things you can purchase with RNGU in our market place are unique, limited, powerful and generally awesome. RNGU is managed and distributed by the Zodiac as a whole, the guilds can set their own incentives and distribution methods just like a mini dao to incentivize engagement themselves or follow out default distribution methods.
All Tokens shall be tradeable in various CEX and DEX, they can also be staked via unique yield farming mechanisms offered in our Marketplace (it is a unique and new staking and liquidity pool staking mechanism, but i can’t say more, it’s our secret weapon to revolutionize the P2E economy, sorry).
Suhirin Win :
Many people want to learn about your project but they have problem with English, so do you plan to spread awareness about your project in different countries where English is not good? Do you have a Marketing strategy aimed at developing many different communities?
FRANK | Apeiron :
Apeiron is a global game 🌏 we have other language channels ready in our Discords and moderators lining up to handle other languages. But… I am sad to admit this… 🙈although our language of choice is English… but we actually have extremely strong backings from different partners around the world EXCEPT the core english speaking markets! 🤣LOLOL!! 🤣
With our coming celebrity KOL and marketing agencies support, we are actually highly saturated in the Asia region, with strong partnerships reaching to Russia and South America as well! But… we actually lack core partners in the States and Europe themselves! 😢 This is also the reason why I am reaching out to some funds in the States and UK early now, before our seed round, to see if I can find any great partners over there to work with. 🤝👍
As for indonesia, we are talking with two gaming guilds over here, and they are both excited to come aboard Apeiron. We also have an Indonesian channel in our discord, please! Come join the fun!
Apox :
Why does APEIRON adopt 3 Tokens at once? what are its functions.
which generally only adopts 2 tokens. Can you explain??
@Frankbocheng
FRANK | Apeiron :
Well… this comes in 2 aspects… we want to promote longevity in our game, so late game and alliance content is a very common way to solve this… it’s a practice prevalent in online games and grand strategy mobile games (our first game is a grand strategy mobile game too actually). Having an extremely valuable guild reward is our way to engage with the various guilds that will populate Apeiron… you should wait and see our Gaming guild partnership announcements…. its like world war 3… and the most intense action will be in SEA!!!
The second aspect is that we are trying something extremely new with our liquidity pool staking mechanisms… but I really can’t say more… rest assured that the ecosystem of our tritoken economy and our NFTs will form a great revolution in the P2E landscape!
There! Did I answer all 5!?!?!? Looks like I did!!! DONE!
CLOSING
