Highlights

  • Balthazar launches LTI Program: Balthazar’s long-term scholar incentive program has been designed to provide their scholars with skin in the game, allowing them to gain exposure to Balthazar’s long-term success. Every Balthazar Wizard in the scholarship program, new and existing, will receive US$100 worth of Balthazar tokens. These tokens will vest after twelve months, which will encourage and reward long-term participation and value creation in our ecosystem.

  • Global Venture Capital firm, Side Door Ventures, has kicked off Balthazar’s new NFT lending platform, with $1 million of Splinterlands NFT assets. The VC, which is one of Balthazar’s backers in its Token Sale, has enlisted Balthazar to manage its 1.3 million Splinterlands NFTs to be used by Wizards through its scholarship program.

Product

Balthazar is a scholar-driven NFT gaming platform for the metaverse. It aims to have the most scholars deployed by managed NFTs and distribute them through our NFT gaming platform. Gamers get to access play-to-earn games with no upfront cost, supporting a fun and competitive ecosystem.

The NFT gaming platform focuses on four key pillars of commercialization.

Research

Research reports create thought leadership and demand for games to form relationships with Balthazar. A monetary byproduct is the opportunity to invest in games and NFTs at an early stage, generally at a steep discount to the public sale.

Launchpad

Games will be incentivized to launch on Balthazar’s launchpad due to our large community of scholars and investors. We will charge either a transaction fee or accept payment in the form of an NFT, which can then be sold.

Lending

The lend-to-earn feature where Balthazar uses its community of gamers to utilize investor’s NFTs, automating payment back to the investor, the scholar, and Balthazar. Balthazar supports the guild members through social networking, educational resources, and training and development around gameplay and learning cryptocurrency investment.

Marketplace

Our Marketplace is where investors can buy and sell pNFTs where by pNFTs are Balthazar’s unique solution to creating a marketplace for trading a portfolio of NFT assets attached to an ongoing scholar relationship.

Tokenomics

Token Utility

Providing a tokenised exposure to the rapidly growing metaverse

Balthazar Bricks have designed to capture the value of all areas of the ever-growing Metaverse through a range of revenue-generating activities, allowing the token to grow in value in proportion to:

  • The increase of NFT asset values
  • The increase of our liquid treasury asset value
  • Revenue derived by:
    • Yield is retained when utilizing Balthazar’s scholars to play with third party investor’s assets (”lenders”)
    • Yield generated by Balthazar’s NFT assets
    • Exit fees incurred where lenders return their assets
    • Transaction fees for lenders trading their pNFTs on our marketplace
    • Transaction fees/NFTs earned for games using our launchpad
    • Transaction fees earned for game IDOs
    • Access to discounted valuations on early-round investments
    • Gaming and eSports partnerships and sponsorships

Governance

Balthazar aims to be a fully Decentralised Autonomous Organisation. This means decision-making ultimately rests with our token holders rather than a centralised authority. In line with this objective, token holders will be given the opportunity to make and vote on various governance proposals.

Voting will occur through a portal where token holders are able to start proposals which will be voted on by other BRIX holders. The portal will also act as an open forum for members to discuss the various proposals.

Launchpad benefits

Balthazar token holders will be able to stake BRIX to receive a higher probability in receiving a randomised whitelisting/allocation to pre-launch games and tokens. A higher amount staked, along with a longer lockup period, will contribute to increasing your probability booster.

Premium dashboard

Staking $1,000 worth of Balthazar tokens will unlock a premium dashboard and allow lenders to be paid in stablecoins rather than in-game reward tokens.

The premium dashboard will provide an aggregated profit and loss across our launchpad and lending services.

Staking Rewards

Balthazar token holders will be able to stake their tokens in order to receive additional tokens. These tokens will eventually be funded by platform revenues, creating deflation and scarcity over the long term
