Collaborative DeFi game “Wonderland” has been elected a validator node on the Harmony Blockchain.

Becoming a validator node allows the Wonderland team to more actively participate in the Harmony network.

And there’s money-making potential in here, too, for crypto holders:

Everyone who stakes with our Rabbit Hole validator node will be eligible to earn from the reward pool of 1,000,000 SHROOM tokens every month (the reward pool is subject to change each month). The tokens will be distributed when we go live in Early Q2 2022, and the snapshot will start within a week.”

Individual rewards will be calculated based on the percentage of ONE staked, with snapshots taken hourly.

ONE is the Harmony Blockchain’s native token. SHROOMs, meanwhile, are Wonderland’s token, and allow you to enter, own, buy and trade, participate and govern in the Wonderland ecosystem.

Of course, this raises the question, “Why should Iconists give a crap about any of this?”

Well, for starters, even though Wonderland’s “Chapter One” is deploying on Harmony, “Chapter 2” will be deploying on ICON parachain ICE. So there’s that.  

Plus, as we’ve noted earlier, the Harmony Blockchain is one of BTP’s growing number of partners.

But more immediately, Wonderland is promising rewards for ICON members and “Shrommies” who want to get involved with the ICON ecosystem.

  • ICON members will be able to mint character NFTs with ICX, though this is an admittedly off-chain solution as there is currently no bridge.
  • To do this, you need a Harmony MetaMask wallet and ICON wallet.
  • The offchain solution will handle the ICX collection and airdrop the NFT to the Harmony MetaMask wallet.
  • Minting with ICX will get you discounted mints, though the exact discount will be announced later.
  • Members whitelisted with both ICX wallets and Harmony MetaMask wallets will get SHROOM reward airdropped from 1,000,000+ pool (a fact intentionally buried near the bottom of the Twitter thread. Cheeky).

Inspired by “Alice and Wonderland,” Wonderland is a trippy P2E risk protocol game that allows characters in the game to risk and gain Mushroom Tokens — SHROOM — from each other. The three characters Alice, Queen and Cards will have unique NFTs and abilities to play strategic risk games with their SHROOM to gain even more.

The game also has strategic partnerships with GangstaBet and ICONOsphere.

In particular, the game leverages ICON’s BTP technology to connect to multiple chains.
