Everreach Labs, the gaming studio developing PvE-focused FPS R3V3NGE has announced that there will soon be a free mint of only 800 Founders Pass NFTs on the Xterio ecosystem, with whom the company formed a strategic partnership. Before that happens though, the team has published details on all the benefits and utility that come with owning this upcoming asset.

What Ecosystem Benefits Does the NFT Bring?

The Everreach Labs Founders Pass (FP) NFT is set to provide holders with a host of unique benefits within the studio’s own unified ecosystem. Featuring a limited supply of only 800, acquiring this asset will make you eligible for the platform’s $EVER token airdrops, with an automatic airdrop included at TGE followed by monthly rewards that will depend on the chosen staking option and amount of time the asset is held by the owner. Staking for longer will lead to higher points and multipliers, in turn leading to bigger token rewards. Reaching certain staking duration milestones will lead to increase daily points earnings, allowing you to potentially get more rewards every month.

This NFT also gives you exclusive access to the seed round of the $EVER token, where investors will have the opportunity to buy at $0.0075 per token with a $20,833,333 FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation). From this round, 8.5% of tokens will unlock on TGE followed by a 3-month cliff, after which tokens will unlock monthly over a 14-month vesting period.

Holders will be able to participate in DAO treasury governance, meaning owners will have the right to vote on various important ecosystem and game-specific decisions, contributing to development and influencing the use of in-game revenue and more. This will allow you to share in the growth of the DAO treasury, with a certain percentage of funds generated from asset sales in the ecosystem going towards the treasury.

Alongside all these benefits, FP owners could also get access to exclusive time-limited events that could feature unique challenges or an increase in rewards.

What About In-Game Benefits?

When it comes in-game benefits, pass holders will have the opportunity to unlock exclusive in-game emojis, achievements and special titles, so you can not only show off and express yourself in unique ways, but also display your dedication to the ecosystem.

Speaking of expressing yourself in distinct ways, holding an FP NFT will allow you to unlock exclusive skin and gear only available to pass owners. These assets will be soulbound to the NFTs, and as such will not be tradable, allowing holders to truly stand out in the ecosystem’s games with these exclusive items.

That’s not all though; there may also end up being exclusive access to unique in-game pets and accessories that might feature gameplay benefits instead of just serving as cosmetics. There will be custom special location markers and custom tags that are said to improve “guiding capabilities” while further providing you with distinct visuals to show your holder status.

If you want extra currency and XP boosts, then owning a Founders Pass NFT is the way to go, as doing so gets you 5% extra $EVER-to-premium currency conversion, while giving you 10% bonus XP from gameplay that is said to have no impact on the player’s leaderboard score. Even if you don’t own this pass, you’ll want to have at least one player with it in a match, as this NFT also grants 5% bonus non-additive XP to all participants who are in the same match as the player holding the asset, encouraging holders and non-holders to interact with each other instead of alienating both groups to themselves.

Last but not least, becoming a pass owner is rewarded with Super-Tester status. This means that holders not only get access to beta releases where they can provide feedback on various new features, but they are also permitted to receive “deeper insights” into game development, giving them an opportunity to potentially affect certain changes to the game being tested.

How to Mint

While no specific date is available for the free mint aside from an August timeframe, in order to become qualified, you will need to participate in a Zealy campaign featuring various social media-based tasks that you’ll want to complete to try and climb to the top of the leaderboard, as the total supply is only 800, so spots will likely be tight. The final tweet containing the Zealy link at the end of the official thread also encourages the community to comment a specific word for a chance at winning a spot to the upcoming free mint. Similar forms of ‘giveaways’ may also appear in the lead-up to minting.

Another tweet reveals that users can also claim the NFT through EVER points, a Discord currency gained through community involvement as well as through event and challenge participation. The team will host various activities in the official Discord server, where you will be able to convert the points into $EVER, exclusive in-game items, and an exclusive whitelist application.
