Hey folks, thanks for having me here. My name is Faizy, and I also go by the name DG. I’m the CEO and Co-founder of Astra Nova. As pioneers, Astra Nova is the first Web3 RPG from Saudi Arabia, aiming to cater to the MENA and SEA demographic. Our global team of over 80 members has worked truly hard to bring this project to life. We’re excited to talk about our game, which integrates high-fidelity AAA graphics, AI-enhanced gameplay, and a deep, immersive storyline in a seamless blend.

You are also the first project we have partnered with that has roots in Saudi Arabia and we are delighted that you have chosen to work with us, we are impressed with the level of development of your project, both technically and visually!
You claim to be building your project using technologies such as unreal engine, hedera, Immutable, and zkEVM, can you tell us briefly what your use of these technological advances is?
Faizy
Astra Nova has a multichain approach, supporting multiple blockchains, to mitigate the lack of Dapps and liquidity. Currently, we support Hedera, Immutable, zkEVM, and we are powered by Polygon and opBNB.
You can expect a multi-chain approach for our project and our $RVV token.

The $RVV is the main token in your ecosystem, can you tell us more about its usefulness, and what makes it different from other tokens that your competitors offer in their gaming projects?

$RVV is key in supporting a sustainable play & own gaming economy.

I’d like a segway from your latest, answer, can you tell us a bit more about your Black Pass and please explain how to easily farm $RVV?
Faizy
The Black Pass is a SocialFi platform integrated into the Astra Nova ecosystem, offering players a competitive edge through social engagement and rewards tracking.
Here’s how it works:
Access and Participation: Players can access the Black Pass platform through a free soulbound NFT. Once on the platform, they can participate in various social quests and activities.
Reward Tracking: The Black Pass tracks players’ in-game activities, such as completing missions, participating in events, and engaging with the community. Players earn shards (points) based on their participation and achievements.
Token Airdrops: Players can redeem their accumulated shards for $RVV tokens, the official token of the Astra Nova game. These token rewards provide players with additional incentives for active engagement within the game ecosystem.
Seasonal Journey: The Black Pass operates on a seasonal basis, with each season centered around specific events or milestones within the Astra Nova game. Players embark on a journey throughout the season, earning rewards and progressing through tiers based on their activity and achievements.
Piotr
This is a very interesting solution, in an age of very high competition it is hard to find the right tools, I am glad you have come up with something innovative, it will certainly pay off in the long run!
What do you consider to be the biggest advantage of your project and what would you say to an undecided person who is considering investing in $RVV to look at your project with a favorable eye?
