About MetaCelo

1. Project Overview

MetaCelo is a Play-To-Earn Metaverse NFT Game on Celo Network where players become monster trainers and experience their own adventures in an open-world role-playing blockchain game.

MetaCelo, with its vintage design and nostalgic feeling, is a metaverse formed from childhood dreams of Pokemon on the Game Boy Advanced portable game device which is a nostalgic and delightful experience. It was founded with the intention of creating a place for players to mingle and connect while exploring the cryptocurrency metaverse. As a community-driven project, we would like to provide our users a secure and pleasant environment.

Vision

Our goal is to establish the Metaverse to connect individuals in the DeFi sector, assist them in earning money via game features, and simplify DeFi by utilizing our dapp as a one-stop shop for all DeFi platforms.

MetaCelo is integrated two main features. DeFi features includes DEX, Farming/ Staking, NFT, Launchpad. The other is Game Feature.

  • DEX: We will integrate SushiSwap and cLASwap, the two biggest decentralized exchanges on Celo Network, where users can directly purchase cMETA to participate in MetaCelo world without opening any other application windows.

2. GTM Strategy & Product Viablitity

In early December 2021, the MetaCelo conducted research and discovered that there has been no game development on the Celo Network, they recognized this as their golden opportunity to establish the first blockchain gaming on this potential network. The team was founded at the time.

Following that, MetaCelo approached CeloLaunch Labs, the venture capital of CeloLaunch — the leading launchpad on Celo Network. After passing their proposal evaluation stages, MetaCelo garnered significant interest from CeloLaunch users and 30+ partners. This was the great GTM strategy from MetaCelo.

MetaCelo team is well aware that the majority of Play-To-Earn games available follows a click-to-earn playstyle which makes players feel bored. They chose to create a nostalgia gameplay based on the childhood game named Pokémon where you can control your character to interact with other NPCs and players, join the battles of monsters, evolve monsters to be stronger, explore the game world,… The gameplay will keep players engaged in the game and also keep them focused on playing and experiencing rather than earning.
