Hi, community!

In this short article we would like to recap the previous months and highlight our goals for the new period.

The main updates we been working on include:

1. Digital Fashion Week participation
2. Bringing NFT jewelry to Metaverse
3. Design contest with the Jewelry Workshop

Let’s review them:

Digital Fashion Week

On September 11th and 18th, Brilliantcrypto took part in Digital Fashion Week (DFW) in NYC and London.

DFW is an annual event that showcase the future of Web3 and digital fashion, including NFTs, virtual apparel, and metaverse avatars, for global industry leaders.

The event provided a hybrid experience to the attendees, taking place in real-life venues and inside an immersive metaverse space created by Pixel Canvas. The venue had giant screens broadcasting the virtual world with digital avatars. Brilliantcrypto users could adorn their avatars with NFT jewelry that they had made in the Jewelry Workshop.

Meanwhile, in the physical venues attendees could visit Brilliantcrypto booth and try designing their own jewelry .

Prior to the event Brilliantcrypto held a jewelry design contest in collaboration with DFW, the creators of the top 5 winning designs could see their works exhibited at the DFW metaverse.

Bringing NFT jewelry to the Metaverse.

Digital Fashion Week in NYC and London marked the first time for Brilliantcrypto users to wear and showcase their jewelry outside of the game environment.

This was made possible by a partnership with U.S.-based developer Pixel Canvas. Since June 2025, we started a collaboration with Pixel Canvas to integrate NFT jewelry into all Pixel Canvas metaverse environments, including the one created for DFW.

During the online events, users could adorn their avatars with the pieces they crafted in the Jewelry Workshop, simply by connecting their wallets to their Ready-Player-Me accounts and Pixel Canvas metaverse.

Having the DFW event s a start, we aim to actively seek out collaborations with other projects to integrate jewelry with NFT gemstones into diverse digital environments and achieve widespread adoption.

Additionally, we aim to partner with more brands and designers to introduce more captivating and original designs to the game, at the same time attracting the creative and fashion communities to Brilliantcrypto platform.

Collaboration with fashion communities

In August and September, Brilliantcrypto teamed up with DFW and GLITCH magazine to organize jewelry design contests.

By promoting this initiative Brilliantcrypto users got the opportunity to showcase their designs to art and fashion professionals. Simultaneously, it offered external creatives a chance to explore a new, gamified design tool.
Here are some examples of the winning Top 5 designs created in the Jewelry Workshop for the DFW contest and Halloween Jewelry contest:

We were excited by the overwhelming response and stunning submissions, and we thank everyone who participated!

We plan to host more contests in the future and warmly invite both the BC community and external creators to join in designing new jewelry pieces, so stay tuned to get more updates!

Hi, community!

As we head into summer (for the northern hemisphere), it’s the perfect time to talk about our achievements so far during the spring! Over the past three months, we’ve made substantial strides, and we’re thrilled to highlight the key updates on the project:

1. Jewelry Workshop release
2. Pixel Canvas Collab
3. New Region release
4. PSG collab pickaxes

Let’s review them one by one.

First and foremost, in April we finally released the Jewelry Workshop.

April marked the launch of Brilliantcrypto’s Jewelry Workshop, a feature that lets users design and craft NFT jewelry — rings, earring, bracelets and necklaces — from the mined digital gemstones.

And for those who want to show off their collections of jewelry, we have added a Gallery feature. Now you can display your jewelry pieces in your own Gallery and also check other players’ collections!

Additionally, the recent Jewelry Catalog update means you no longer need to own digital gemstones to participate in the jewelry crafting. You can create your design and directly put it for sale, allowing other players to purchase it and combine them with the gems they have collected.

We’re now aiming for the next step to make NFT jewelry fully compatible and wearable by metaverse digital avatars across a variety of virtual platforms.

Our first step in the direction of metaverse compatibility is the collaboration with Pixel Canvas announced in May.

Pixel Canvas is an innovative, US-based next-generation metaverse that’s redefining virtual experiences. Breaking free from traditional barriers, it’s a web-based platform accessible directly through your browser, meaning that no installation is needed. Moving beyond static single-world designs, Pixel Canvas specializes in building custom metaverse spaces for every partnership, this makes Pixel Canvas metaverse a powerful hub for creators, brands, and users. This innovative model has already drawn significant industry attention, including collaborations with Perfectoverse (in the field of musical and entertainment) and Digital Fashion Week(in the field of fashion and art).

Pixel Canvas will work to integrate the NFT jewelry in all its worlds, so that any jewelry created in Brilliantcrypto Jewelry Workshop can be worn in platforms developed by the company.

The works to integrate the jewelry will start in summer 2025. You can read more about it here: https://brypto.net/news/20250526001.html

Taking this first step to bring the jewelry out to other digital spaces and attach a new value to it, we will continue to expand our reach to other games and Web3 platforms.

Brilliantcrypto’s new region with new gemstones is about to be released very soon on June 17th 2025 — South East Tanzania.

Players will be able to acquire new mines and find new types of digital gemstones that have not appeared yet in the game.

These new gem types include:

1. Yellow Diamond
2. Ruby
3. Paraiba Tourmaline
4. Tanzanite

All of these gemstones will be available to mine with the pickaxes from Region 1, but what’s more, in Region 2 a new type of pickaxes will be introduced as well — “2nd Technology” pickaxes. These pickaxes are adapted to region 2, and have better performance in the region compared to region 1 pickaxes.

The new pickaxes can be used only in Region 2, as they are adapted to the new characteristics of South East Tanzania mines, while “1st Technology” pickaxes can be used to mine in both regions, but they are less powerful in region 2 than 2nd technology pickaxes.

Just recently we released Paris Saint-Germain pickaxe, developed to commemorate the collaboration between Brilliantcrypto and the world-acclaimed football club which won the biggest European championship at the beginning of June.

PSG Pickaxe「2nd Tech P1150 — PSG Blue」were released in Brilliantcrypto’s [PICKAXE SHOP] from 02:00 UTC, June 10th, 2025. All collection of 100 pickaxes were sold out in under 2 minutes for 3 batches.

The purchasers of PSG pickaxes also received exclusive PSG uniform skins with customizable shirt number and username featured on the back. In addition to that, the rare gemstones mined with PSG pickaxes will feature PSG aspects to their unique name and history if they were eligible for this.

The PSG pickaxes have the same characteristics as 2nd generation pickaxes and will be available for use and rent to scholars only in Region 2.

These are the main updates that we have been working on recently in the past 3 months. We hope that you are looking forward to the release of new regions and gemstones.

What’s more important, June 17th marks one year since Brilliantcrypto launched!

Reaching one year of operation is a huge milestone for a web3 game and we’re planning some awesome new activities to celebrate this with all of the community, so please stay tuned.

Thank you for your support of our project, we will keep our best efforts to provide a smooth and enjoyable game experience to our players and elevate the project to the next stage!

Hi, Community!

As you already know, in February we released the very first collection of NFT jewelry, created by professional designers, and now we are working on the launch of the Jewelry Workshop that will allow ordinary users to create their own jewelry pieces and turn them into NFTs.

We believe that the Workshop will become a new enjoyable feature for our players and that they will be able to reveal their artistic potential creating NFT items, but also, we hope that the Workshop will come in handy for digital fashion enthusiasts and professionals that would like to try themselves in a new field.

Digital fashion is a new developing field attracting attention from both the traditional fashion sector and tech enthusiasts, and while working on “The First Collection”, we engaged with digital fashion creators, who are pioneering the industry.

In this short note we would like to share with you some of the designers’ insights on working with Brilliantcrypto and their expectation for the future of NFT jewelry crafting.

It became a great honor for us to work together with one of the trailblazers of fashion in the digital space; the AUROBOROS brand, who created a magnificent Serpent Coil necklace representing the digital brand’s philosophy and aspiration.

The Co-Founder and Creative Director of AUROBOROS, Paula Sello, joined Brilliantcrypto at the NFT Paris exhibition and shared her views on this new type of jewelry craftsmanship:

-What do you think of the concept of NFT jewelry and its future?

Paula Sello: I think jewelry has always been a status symbol and obviously, as we merge with technology in various ways, in the future status symbols will be digitalized as well. So I think it makes sense that digital-native jewelry will inherit such value.

Also, in the traditional industry there is a raw material background — as a creator, you are playing with materials to put pieces together.

In the digital space, Brilliantcrypto is creating a new ecosystem of craftsmanship and giving it to people, so I see a big future for this.

-What motivated you to join Brilliantcrypto in the project to create the first collection of NFT jewelry?

Paula Sello: I think Brilliantcrypto’s approach to our work was so genuine and lovely with such an appreciation for digital narrative and culture. And I loved the fact that the game was built around collecting raw materials and gemstones and developing these materials into jewelry. There is a real craftsmanship attitude in this game and I think that it is what we have always been about and we are interested in accelerating it in the digital space.

-What was your inspiration behind the Serpent Coil?

Paula Sello: The Serpent Coil, I think is so much truth to our name — our brand name is AUROBOROS, which represent ancient alchemical symbol of a snake biting its own tail. Its a symbol of reinvention, one of the oldest symbols of innovation that is found all across the globe, and it’s a beautiful symbol that ties the future to the past, and we believe in both — heritage and future legacy. What’s more, this year is actually the year of the snake, so as you can see it’s all connected.

About AUROBOROS:

Auroboros is a luxury tech-fashion house, founded by award-winning creatives Paula Sello and Alissa Aulbekova, dedicated to the integration of fashion and technology.

Their biggest achievements include being the first digital brand to present at London Fashion Week, as well as showcasing its works in 10 major art exhibitions, including at renowned institutions like the Victoria & Albert Museum, Google Arts & Culture, Saatchi Gallery London and The National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.

The brand has worked with cultural icons such as Kim Kardashian, Usher, Grimes, and digitally reimagined Marilyn Monroe, shaping the growing movement toward digital fashion and redefining self-expression.

These were short insights from a professional designer working with Brilliantcrypto, and we hope that the upcoming Jewelry Workshop will inspire our users to create their own collections and engage with and bring new concepts into the realm of digital fashion.

Hi, community!

Here is a recap of all the activities that happened for Brilliantcrypto in February 2025.

First of all, we have good news for our players in Vietnam!
We have completed all procedures and BRIL is finally listed on one of the biggest Vietnam’s exchanges — Nami Exchange.

Since March 5th, all players with their region set to Vietnam are able to receive BRIL directly from the game.

For more details click this link: https://brypto.net/news/20250219001.html

As the project develops, we will work to make BRIL available in more countries, and the next potential country on our list is the UK.

Another big achievement for us in February was the NFT Jewelry Exhibition at NFT Paris 2025.

This year it was the second time for us to participate at the NFT Paris event, and unlike 2024, this time our focus was switched from gaming to digital fashion.

Brilliantcrypto is currently working on our Jewelry Workshop release and to demonstrate the artistic potential of the digital gemstones, at the event we exhibited 10 unique NFT jewelry pieces, created in collaboration with renown designers. ( https://brypto.net/news/20250130001.html )

Apart from each jewelry piece being a work of creative craftsmanship, each incorporated digital diamonds, aquamarines and red spinels mined by Brilliantcrypto players in the game.

This year we set up a jewelry boutique/gallery with screens to display the very first collection of digital earrings, necklaces, and rings. Each had a QR code through which the attendees could view the jewelry on OpenSea and get information about the NFT piece and its creator.

At NFT Paris Brilliantcrypto also took the main stage to speak to the attendees about the background of the jewelry collaboration, the vision of the Brilliantcrypto project, and updates coming to the game soon. On the stage we were joined by one of the designers who worked with us to bring about this very first collection of NFT jewelry.

Paula Sello from AUROBOROS, a luxury tech fashion house from the UK, shared her insights into the recent developments in the field of digital fashion and the potential that the launch of the Jewelry Workshop app has for bringing digital craftsmanship to a new level.

As the launch of the Jewelry Workshop App is coming closer, we plan to move further in the direction of digital fashion and at the next stage of our project we aim to engage more with creators, so the NFT gemstones mined can be used in the environment outside the game to create digital pieces for metaverse.

The reception of the first collection of Brilliantcrypto NFT jewelry and our keynote was great, and the project got some significant attention from fashion and art communities, and for the side event, which was held at PSG’s stadium Parc de Princes, we received more than 600 applications to participate in the exclusive cocktail and jewelry party.

At the party, our guests enjoyed the night view of the stadium with exquisite dishes and beverages.

But what’s more, some members of the Brilliantcrypto community in France joined us at the party. It was a great chance to speak to the community directly and hear their perspective on how things have been going for the project recently.

In the future we plan to work more to organize live meetings with our community members, similar to this cocktail party in Paris, or the 2024 gemstone holders’ meeting in Vietnam.

(Find a short recap of Gemstone holders’ event in Vietnam below here: https://x.com/LongCryptoG/status/1870852193089368125)

As a result of a week in Paris, we made a lot of meaningful connections and gather valuable insights to apply to the next stage of Brilliantcrypto project development. In particular, we saw that there is a huge potential to engage with fashion and art to give Brilliantcrypto a new artistic aspect and assemble a community of creators inside a game.

In the next phase 2, we will also focus on building a new creators’ economy relying on the NFT gemstones and in phase 3 we aim to bring the NFT pieces created in Brilliantcrypto to other digital realms.

This was a short overview of Brilliantcrypto in February. Thank you for your support and staying with us at this transitional period!

You can see a video report of Brilliantcrypto at NFT Paris below.

Hi, BC community!

The more attentive players will have noticed that last week, the acquirable mines count reached less than half of the total amount. Of the total 500,000 mines, less than 250,000 remain. And now, we can now confirm that more than 250,000 mines have been closed.

This is extremely important when thinking about the total gemstone supply in Brilliantcrypto.

As most crypto and NFT enthusiasts will know, a limited supply is a large contributing factor to the overall value of a digital asset.

Bitcoin was the first, and is still the most important example of this: as the supply dwindles, the value of Bitcoin inevitably rises due to its limited nature.

Brilliantcrypto’s gemstones are no different to Bitcoin because they too have a maximum supply, and this is linked to the mining in-game. So how can we understand more about the supply?

First, remember that Northwestern Tanzanian gemstones will not be acquirable again.

While that does mean that there are new types of gemstones coming in region 2, using this information, we can now calculate the estimated total supply for gem quality Northwestern Tanzanian gemstones using the information below.

As there are only half the remaining mines left in region 1, we can calculate the estimated total supply of each type of Northwestern Tanzanian gemstones, simply by doubling the amount that has been mined so far.

Looking at the chart, it is surprising that only an estimated 15 gem quality diamonds above 5ct. remain to be found.

Some users may also be expecting these valuable gemstone types to be available on the marketplace forever, and plan to purchase them once the jewelry workshop (phase 2 of the project) is available.

However, the truth is that jewelry creation is already underway. Brilliantcrypto has already been purchasing multiple gem quality gemstones in all categories to be used in these collaborations, and other users may also be making their own preparations.

As always, Brilliantcrypto will also aim to achieve brand collaborations and expansive metaverse utility to increase the demand for these jewelry pieces.

In conclusion, we decided to release the number of gemstones mined in certain categories in order for users to consider the dwindling supply of diamonds and other gemstones, and what jewelry they want to create or others might want to create.

So if you’re a gemstone/jewelry collector… are you ready for Phase 2?

Thank you for reading this far. If you did, here’s a word of advice as a reward: keep an eye on our social media over the next week, as there’s a big announcement on the way 💎

With almost half a year since we have released the Brilliantcrypto game, we are currently moving on to Phase 2 of our project roadmap.

Phase 2 will be focused on uniting the game with the realm of digital fashion, with users being able to create their own NFT jewelry and accessories with digital gemstones.

As we move towards the next project stage, let’s recap the major events in the past 6 months.

Since the very release of the game at Phase 1, our goal has been to make the game accessible on multiple devices and platforms and to make BRIL available in more regions, increasing its circulation and visibility.

After initially releasing for PC and Mac only, in late July Brilliantcrypto released a scholar-only mobile version for iOS.

In this version, users, playing as scholars, can borrow NFT pickaxes from owners for free and earn BRIL by playing on their mobile device.

Around the same time, the full version of Brilliantcrypto for Android, that included the same features as the PC version, was launched and became available to download at our official website.

Additionally, with the full PC version being released on the Epic Games Store, the game became available for a huge player base of more than 270 million total desktop PC users.

In November, the full version on iOS became available for download on the Aptoide App Market operating in the EU.

We aim to continue to make the game more accessible for users who don’t own a PC and for those who want to play during their spare time or while on the go.

In September we had some good news for Brilliantcrypto players in Brazil — with BRIL being listed on one of the largest platforms Bit2Me, it became possible for players in this region to get the token immediately in the game.

To commemorate the listing, the Brilliantcrypto team appeared on the stage of NFT Brazil held in Sao Paolo in September, and gave a speech on stage introducing the proof-of-gaming concept and the NFT gemstones to a broader international audience.

Starting with Brazil, we have continued to expand in Latin America, and in November, BRIL also became available in Argentina and Ecuador.

At the beginning of the next stage 2, we plan to list BRIL on exchanges in the UK and Vietnam, where the game has the largest player base.

Speaking of listings, the BRIL token was listed on CoinMarketCap — one of the largest crypto tracking platforms in the world. This move has been a key part of improving the token’s visibility and trust. At present, along with CoinMarketCap, those interested in the token can monitor the BRIL price and learn more about the token on CoinCheck and Bit2Me.

In November 2024, we announced the launch of Phase 2 with the release of several sneak peaks of the Jewelry Workshop App.

This app will allow Brilliantcrypto users and jewelry designers alike to create unique NFT jewelry using the gemstones mined in the game. For Brilliantcrypto miners, they will get to experience being a professional jewelry maker working with various materials, gemstones and shapes. For an experienced digital fashion creator or jewelry designer, the tool will provide the opportunity to easily create NFT fashion pieces at the click of a button.

At the current stage of the Workshop development, the players will be able to choose from rings, earrings and necklaces of different shapes and colors. The app will include a free placement function, which means that the users will have the freedom to place gemstones almost anywhere on the jewelry structure, allowing them to come up with their own original designs for NFT wearables.

The launch of the jewelry workshop app will likely provide a spark for the establishment of a new community of independent NFT creators, made up of both current players and external fans of NFT fashion.

In this phase, Brilliantcrypto aims to connect with and innovate the digital fashion realm.

Along with the jewelry workshop video release, it was announced that a digital fashion ambassador with experience working with brands such as Gucci, Ferragamo and Ferrari and specializing in luxury brands and web3 activation has joined the team.

As digital experiences continue to develop and gain more popularity, many brands (such as LVMH, Gucci, Balenciaga and many others) as well as fashion designers have entered this realm to broaden their reach and customer engagement.

To reach out to younger generations that form the core base of players in the metaverse, brands collaborate with gaming companies to create unique skins and virtual items, organizing showrooms and fashion shows specially crafted for the digital world.

We can announce that we are currently working on preparing something special and soon we will reveal our next big step for 2025, which will hopefully excite some gemstone owners!

We hope that you will continue to support the project in this transitional phase!

It has been almost two years since the Brilliantcrypto project began and 4 months since the game launch, and from the very start our community became truly international. Players from Asia, Latin America and Europe have gathered to mine digital gemstones in the game, and as BRIL becomes available for more countries around the globe the community keeps growing.

Building and running such a huge community would have been impossible without our dedicated supporters and ambassadors. Some of them have been with us since the first stage of the project, helping us to run the first game tests.

Closed testing began in 2023 and we were very honored to have players from regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America and Japan and more joining us from Web3 guilds and DAOs. We were even more honored when some of our alpha testers joined the Brilliantcrypto community as official ambassadors, assisting in the daily communication between players and developers.

Now as we begin to move to stage 2, we want to bring light to some of those that helped to bring together and run the Brilliantcrypto community at a global scale.

We interviewed some members of our ambassador team. We hope you enjoy reading what they have to say!

Please introduce yourself!

Cyril — @cyril1999: Hi! My name is Cyril, and I’m from China. I am fluent in Chinese, English, and French. I have been living in Paris, France, for seven years. I manage Chinese and French-speaking communities.

Killua — @killuaazooldyk: Hello, greetings to everyone! I’m known as Killua, I’m from Argentina, and I’m a native Spanish speaker with an intermediate level of English. I am located in the South American region and manage the Discord server, as a community ambassador for Spanish-speaking channels.

Dorian — @dorian7564: Hi! I’m Dorian and I’m from Taiwan and speak mandarin. I manage mandarin language channels as an ambassador.

What brought you into web3 games and what motivated you to join the BC project?

Cyril: I am interested in all things new, and gaming is one of my biggest strengths. I have nearly two years of experience in Web3 community management and operations.

I entered the crypto world around 2021–2022, when NFTs and ICOs were booming. I quickly learned the industry and built friendships and influence across various communities.

As for my motivation to join BC as an ambassador, honestly, in the Web3 industry, Japanese projects have always had a great reputation. Whether it’s NFTs or traditional alpha communities, they’re very well-regarded. BC, as a Web3 game backed by a long-established Japanese gaming company, is top-notch in terms of game background, content creation, and external promotion within the industry.

Joining this project allows me to learn a lot, and managing and operating such a large-scale community gives me even more valuable experience.

Also, I’ve been playing consistently from the early testing phase to the current official version, so I’m quite familiar with the game’s mechanics and strategies. But what excites me the most about the game is, of course, every time the detector alarm goes off — haha!

Killua: What led me to crypto gaming was that at the age of 16, I became very interested in investment topics and finding multiple income sources. This interest led me to discover and join the largest Spanish-speaking web3 community, OLA GG, it was primarily there that I was introduced to the world of web3, gaming, and cryptocurrencies, as well as to account moderation and management.

Since I joined OLA GG, I participated in all the activities they held, such as events, giveaways, AMAs, and more. Once, they invited people to join an alpha/beta testing of a project, and fortunately, I was selected. That was when I discovered Brilliantcrypto.

I truly enjoyed the game from the alpha/beta tests. The idea of mining on a mountain to find gems is really entertaining, and personally, I find it relaxing.

I think the most attractive part is that the game is easy to understand and play, and what really stands out is that it’s web3. Having these two aspects — a simple game and web3 — attracted many people to try this project out.

My experience in the game led me to want to become a moderator for Brilliantcrypto. I remember that, at that very moment, they were looking for ambassadors and moderators, so the opportunity I had been looking for presented itself and I didn’t hesitate to apply.

Dorian: Play to earn is common but mine to earn is a unique concept, especially if you’re playing as a miner to find gems. It’s a fresh experience when you hold a pickaxe, search and dig the mountains. That’s why I decided to help promote this project.

How was your experience as a community ambassador so far? What have you done previously and what would you like to do in the future?

Cyril: As an ambassador, I introduced Brilliantcrypto to many Chinese-speaking gaming communities and created threads and promotional content to introduce the game during its early stages. I’ve met many experienced ambassadors and connected with numerous players by sharing BC with some alpha communities. I also guide users on how to participate in the game and address game-related issues.

I am someone who enjoys sharing and promoting, and being an ambassador lets me gain a deeper understanding of the project and promote it to more players. My goal is to help more people discover and appreciate a good game.

Killua: I’ve done many activities, like moderating all the channels on the server, translating announcements, answering questions and guiding people about the project, proposing events, suggesting possible improvements for the server, and serving as support staff during Zealy campaigns.

I plan to keep performing all assigned tasks to the best of my ability and I’d also like to organize an event from scratch and manage it myself, though this might be a bit more challenging.

Dorian: Being a community manager, my main task is to help players solve their problems and keep the community positive and, if it’s possible, in the future I hope I can have some offline events.

As the Jewelry Workshop’s sneak peaks have been recently released, what are your expectations for this new game feature? Do you have any gemstones?

Killua: This is one of the main things I’m looking forward to, and I think it would be fantastic to export the NFT gems into the metaverse world.

Currently, I have some gemstones, but I mostly use them to get tickets for the mountain and continue mining, so I can gather more gemstones and have a chance to get a really valuable gem.

Though I don’t have any high-value gemstone now, previously I managed to get a diamond with a unique history and name of gem quality. It was the best at the time, and I was able to sell it for 2000 MATIC.

Cyril: For now, I have about 6 to 7 gemstones, but they’re of average quality. I want to try some synthesis once the Gem Workshop becomes available.

Dorian: Right now I don’t have any because I’m not a good miner. I always lose direction in the cave when I look around. When Jewelry Workshop opens I’d love to check out others’ works.

Any message to the community/developers and feedback?

Dorian: I’m looking forward to the BC team to do more collaborations with other projects and making BRIL available in even more regions, increasing its value.

Cyril: I believe that we could make game economics better by increasing the functionality of gems. It could potentially be integrated with some Web2 applications, for example, such as redeeming them for merchandise, etc. Let’s keep moving, guys! WGMI

Killua: I believe the developers team has an incredible vision and the community is what makes Brilliantcrypto great, as without the community, it wouldn’t have been possible to achieve such big goals. A big shout-out to the entire community and the developers!

We hope you enjoyed this short introduction of our international ambassadors!

As new players from all around the world join the game, we always welcome those who want to become a part of our team and help spread the news about digital gemstones.

If you are dedicated and experienced BC players and you want to get involved into building an international community and using your language and communication skills we encourage you to apply to become an ambassador!

You can do it from our website or on our Discord server.

The vision of Digital Gemstones was born almost two years ago.
A world in which diamonds, aquamarines, red spinels in the digital world hold real value. Two years ago, most people were calling us crazy, and they couldn’t be blamed for it.

Who would’ve guessed that in just 1 month after the project officially released, this vision would become reality?

It may sound cliche, but these things don’t come true if people don’t believe in them. And we are truly grateful to the amazing community of players, supporters and partners alike who have continued to believe in Brilliantcrypto.

In this article, we talk about what we’ve achieved together in the last month, and where we’re going next.

“Who will buy the gemstones when the game releases?”

The golden question we’ve been asked over and over again. There are lots of different answers, such as NFT investors, hardcore Brilliantcrypto fans, metaverse fashionistas, and more.

But the truth is, no matter how many times you say “trust me bro”, the conclusion is that people want solid proof when it comes to investing their money and time.

Today, over 10,000 gemstones have been traded inside Brilliantcrypto.

It’s safe to say there is no question about whether there are buyers for the gemstones any more, and the trader community is continuing to grow exponentially.

Remember, you can always check how many trades there have been on the in-game marketplace by navigating to the “Recent Trades” screen and looking at the total amount of items.

“Are they really going to be worth anything?”

This is probably what the man who paid 10,000 Bitcoin for 2 pizzas was thinking when he decided to hand them over. In other words, in the beginning, not everyone sees the value of digital items in the same way.

It took 10 years, but now 1 Bitcoin is worth more than $60,000 dollars.

And now, just 1 month after Brilliantcrypto’s launch…

People are now paying as much as $3,480 USD for 1 gemstone.

This is an incredible start, but we’re only just getting started — there’s a long journey ahead for the value of digital gemstones.

“Who is going to spend time mining?”

Brilliantcrypto is a new type of game. There are no other games where you focus completely on mining. However, mining games do exist — people spend hours mining for digital resources in games such as Rust and Minecraft.

The truth is that not everyone thinks that games = guns and explosions. Some people just enjoy spending time looking for treasure.

Brilliantcrypto’s release has delivered not only the mining experience, but also a completely comprehensive play-to-earn experience. All you have to do is register, create a wallet, choose a mine and find Brilliantstones. That’s why…

Brilliantcrypto’s player-base is growing in areas such as Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, and in other regions all around the world.

Where most games with scholarship elements fail to provide an easy solution to the idea of borrowing NFTs to play a game, Brilliantcrypto makes this a smooth process.

“But I don’t have a computer to play the game with!”

Coming soon: The “Brilliantcrypto Scholar” App on Mobile Devices!

Soon, people around the world with compatible devices will be able to play Brilliantcrypto anywhere, whether they are on the train, at home, or have just a bit of left over time. Those who have been waiting to play but don’t have a PC will also now be able to play, which will boost the number of scholars substantially.

In the future, we plan to allow people to turn their gemstones into jewelry, and wear them in digital worlds.

This is just the beginning of that journey, and we hope you’ll stick around to witness the evolution of Brilliantcrypto!

Have you played Brilliantcrypto yet?
Since the beta test ended in January, no new beta tests have been announced as the team continues to focus on the game’s pre-release.

Many people have been community members since our very first alpha test and have played the game many times, but we know many more have not been so lucky — especially new joiners.

In this article, we’d like to give a full overview of the development history of Brilliantcrypto to bring all our new community members up to speed. We hope you will learn something about the Brilliantcrypto journey, and the future to come!

The Founding of Brilliantcrypto

Brilliantcrypto, Inc. was founded on November 9, 2022 as a subsidiary (child company) of the Japanese mobile gaming giant COLOPL, Inc. Naruatsu Baba, the original founder of COLOPL, Inc. was announced as the CEO and project manager of the Brilliantcrypto project.

However, it was not until July 25, 2023 that Brilliantcrypto’s intention to create authentic gemstones in the digital world was announced. Before then, the development team worked in secret to build the foundations of the game that would power this ambitious vision.

Initial Internal Testing

>>> Internal Test 1&2 New Features <<<
🔸 A basic mining environment and scenery
🔸 The core mining mechanics and experience
🔸 Original including the detector, ladder, illuminator and explosives
🔸 Rough Gemstones, then-called “Loose Gemstones”

The very first internal play-test, codeword “muscle”, occurred in secrecy on December 8, 2022. It was a basic version of the game tested by the core members of the new company Brilliantcrypto, Inc. The first priority for developers of Brilliantcrypto was to create the mining experience and mechanics — but as this game is the first ever game focused entirely on mining, this is easier said than done. Developers played the game with an intense focus on understanding what it would feel like to players to play the game for hours on-end.

For that reason, high-quality design and detail to the environment were put on hold, as developers aimed to create an experience that felt satisfying, but not over-stimulating. The aim was to allow users to relax while playing and enjoy the experience.

The previously unreleased image below is of an old version of Brilliantcrypto. The 2nd ever build, and only played

>>> Internal Test 3 New Features <<<
🔸 Upgraded detail to the environment & scenery
🔸 Invention of the tunnel systems that are made when users mine
🔸 Adjustments to mining speed & mechanics
🔸 Changes to design of items & pickaxe (more futuristic)
🔸 Upgrades to the gemstone inspection scene

The next tests focused on two major issues — building the environment of Brilliantcrypto, and developing an authentic gemstone inspection screen for the gemstones mined in the game.

With regards to the environment, authenticity is important in Brilliantcrypto so developers took time to ensure they created an environment that feels realistic, while it is a digital world in essence. The gemstone inspection screen is also one of the most important features in the game: the whole project revolves around building authenticity and scarcity for the gemstones, so if they don’t look or feels true to life, then there would be no point in continuing.

However, creating a beautiful mining environment takes time. However, it has been clear that the world of Brilliantcrypto has become more and more scenic with every new build.

The image below is an old build of Brilliantcrypto. The 3rd ever build, and the first one played by our Community Managers.

The Closed Alpha Test

>>> Alpha Test Version New Features <<<
🔸 Further detail to the environment & scenery
🔸 More Adjustment to mining mechanics
🔸 Redesign of basic U.I. & settings menu
🔸 Basic English language translation
🔸 Further detail to gemstone inspection screen

Not every gamer is willing to play a new type of game. Even less are happy to play an unfinished game. Adding on that there was no public information about the game, and the only people left who would willingly test such a game are hardcore, dedicated web3 gamers.

We were very honored to have the presence of around 100 hardcore players for our first Alpha test. These players joined us through web3 guilds and DAOs, based mainly in South East Asia, Latin America and Japan.

We were extremely pleased when we realized that 91% of players clearly the objective for the game. But we were even more pleased to learn they genuinely enjoyed the game, and 86% of them said they felt real potential from the game. Since Brilliantcrypto is in a genre of its own, we truly didn’t know what type of response we would get, but it was a great result.

All alpha testers who completed the alpha test were given the “Trailblazer” role, and many of them still remain active community members today.

The image below is of the old build as of the Alpha Test last year, played by alpha testers.

Pickaxe Rush Competition

>>> Pickaxe Rush New Features<<<
🔸 This test used the previous alpha test build.

While development progressed, we ran multiple different projects for the community. One such project was the “Pickaxe Rush.”

Miners returned to the mines of Brilliantcrypto with the promise of NFT Pickaxes at stake. The 12 players who found the biggest gemstones would be delivered an NFT pickaxe around the launch period. Players naturally went wild for this opportunity, and the trailblazers tried their hardest in the mines, but at the end of it all, 12 players were victorious.

Until now, this is the only time players have ever had an opportunity to win pickaxes outright and was reserved for those who supported us at the very beginning.

Closed Beta Test 1–2

>>> Closed Beta Test 1–2 Version New Features <<<
🔸 Further detail to the environment & scenery
🔸 More Adjustment to mining mechanics
🔸 Redesign of basic U.I. & settings menu
🔸 Basic English language translation
🔸 Further detail to gemstone inspection screen

As Brilliantcrypto was revealed on July 25, 2023, it was announced that 3 different closed beta tests would take place in August, October and November. All players selected to participate would be eligible to win 0.02 ETH and would be entered into a lottery to win VIP seats and return flight tickets to Paris to watch Paris Saint-Germain play.

This was the first an opportunity for general users who hadn’t been invited to try out the game, and the initial release went viral as the partnership with Paris Saint-Germain was also announced. The response to the first two beta tests was as positive as the first, with users commenting particularly on the quality of the game and the concept.

The image below is of the old beta version of the game, provided by a player of beta test 1.

Closed Beta Test 3

>>> Closed Beta Test 3 New Features <<<
🔸 A.I. Generated Gemstone Names & History
🔸 A.I. Generated Profile Creation & Character Creation
🔸 More Adjustment to mining mechanics
🔸 Redesign of basic U.I. & settings menu
🔸 Additional English Language Translation
🔸 Further detail to gemstone inspection screen

Between the end of the 2nd test and the beginning of the 3rd, multiple new features were released to add value to the gemstones and immersion story-building to the game.

In the real world, there are famous gemstones which are so well known that they have been given names. And some have been around for a very long time. As we are creating authentic gemstones of the digital world, we expect they will be around even longer, and in the future, others will read the history and be fascinated about how they were found. Meanwhile, A.I. generated history and added character customization options allowed users to express themselves more in the world of Brilliantcrypto.

Users had a great time posting their gemstones and profiles on X and some of the better submissions were retweeted by the main account.

Many streamers in our community also gathered to play the new version, resulting in the compilation video below being made.

Multiplayer Beta Test

>>> Multiplayer Beta Test New Features <<<
🔸 Mountain size roughly increased x3
🔸 Amount of gemstones per mountain increased
🔸 Multiplayer U.I. and settings added
🔸 Quick-chat added
🔸 Changes to mining mechanics and pickaxe attributes

The Multiplayer Beta Test was a closed, invitation-only test specifically focused on testing servers and game functions. Only a few were invited as the test required players to be online at the same time. Players also had to work as a team to fully mine the gemstones in each mountain, while actively participating themself.

In the multiplayer test, features such as “mine selection” (being actively able to choose the mine you play in rather than being randomly given an automatically generated mine) were introduced. More excitingly, players were able to mine together for the very first time in teams of up to 6.

The image below is of an old temporary UI that enabled players to play together in Brilliantcrypto for the first time, in the multiplayer beta test.

This was also the first time that external players experienced the expanded-size mine. This time, the mine was around 3x larger than it had been in previous tests — players truly had to cooperate to overcome this new challenge. It appeared that the most battle-hardened players were able to overcome the challenge more than new players, indicating that Brilliantcrypto had become more skill-based.

December Closed Beta

>>> December Closed Beta New Features <<<
🔸 Rupert the cat added
🔸 Mine selection mini-game added
🔸 New home screen/mining headquarters
🔸 Option to apply pickaxes to acquire mountains added
🔸 Music added to various different screens
🔸 Further changes to mining mechanics and gemstone placement
🔸 Gemstone Cutter character added
🔸 Support for 6 new languages added
🔸 Improved login infrastructure
🔸 Character customization options improved
🔸 Updates to items such as the detector

Brilliantcrypto fans became able to play the new version of the beta test and earn rewards once again.

In this new version, a feature was added where players were first required to scan a topological map for mines available to acquire. These mines were first-come first-serve and showed a prediction of how big each gemstone would be, so many of the good locations were taken quickly by the more hardcore players.

This was also the version of the game in which our beloved mascot, Rupert, made his first appearance. Rupert is your personal navigation companion and will give you everything from helpful advice to enthusiastic support as you continue your mining journey.

Despite the cute cat, in this beta test, there was a twist: In order to earn your reward in ETH, you needed to first mine all 5 gemstones out of the 90 stones lying in the mine. Then, each Brilliantstone you find after that would be worth a small amount of ETH. The more you succeed, the more your rewards add up — turning this into a more interactive play-to-earn experience

Finalizing Internal Testing

>>> Future Development Features <<<
🔸 Finalizing mining mechanics
🔸 Adding more story-building elements
🔸 Changes and additions to the gemstone inspection screen
🔸 Adding more features to the game (exciting!)
🔸 Perfecting in-game infrastructure such as wallet & marketplace
🔸 Finalizing translation and wording
🔸 And more…

The December Beta Test, which would turn out to be the last public beta test, ended in mid-January. Since then, the development of the game has begun to enter its final stages and as well as various new aesthetic aspects and features being added to the game, the final game balance is consistently adjusted so that the final product is as polished as possible. The team continues to test the game as this article is being written.

What’s Next?

As written above, development is in its final stages. Meanwhile, there is extra information about IEO, NFT and whitelist sale on the horizon. Additionally, the pre-release of the game is scheduled for Spring. You can check the roadmap below for the details, but you should know that announcements can take place at any time and we are nearing the busy phase before the release of the game.

Therefore, it would be wise to keep up to date with the development of Brilliantcrypto. Moving forward, the best place to read complex patch-notes and their explanations will be here on Medium, as well as X & Discord for the quickest news announcements.

We hope you enjoyed this article and that it was informative.

What is the relationship between football players and Brilliantcrypto?

As you can see from the video above, some of Paris Saint-Germain players (season 22/23) were pretty interested to discover Brilliantcrypto gemstones. But this doesn’t tell us how the partnership came to be.

Brilliantcrypto, Inc., the company behind the game, is the subsidiary of a large gaming organization called Colopl, Inc, which has specialized in the domestic market of Japan. But Brilliantcrypto intends to market the game globally, as blockchain has no borders. In order to achieve this and gain recognition on the world stage, the game needed a strong global partner.

Enter Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain is France’s most successful football club having won a total of 47 trophies since its inception. Some of the greatest names in international football history have played there, including Ronaldinho, David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimović, and more recently Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.

In other words, with many star football players from countries from all around the world, Paris Saint-Germain is the perfect partner to help Brilliantcrypto burst onto the global stage.

Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain’s global footprint in regions such as Latin America and Asia further increases the potential for a successful partnership.

During the official reveal of Brilliantcrypto at WebX Japan 2023, a talk session was held with two representatives of the club, Managing Director of Paris Saint-Germain in Asia Pacific, Sébastien Wasels, and former Paris Saint-Germain and Cameroon player, Patrick M’boma.

Sébastien Wasels made this comment in a previous press release.

It is an honor to have an ambitious partner like Brilliantcrypto place its trust in our Club to promote its brand and bring forth a revolutionary game that will allow our fans around the world to interact with the club on a whole new level.

Meanwhile, Naruatsu Baba, CEO of Brilliantcrypto had this to say.

I am very pleased that we have partnered with Paris Saint-Germain, a top global brand known for innovation that is directly getting involved with web3. Through this partnership… we plan to generate lots of excitement across the world.

So far, Brilliantcrypto has carried out some exciting campaigns with Paris Saint-Germain, including giving out signed jerseys from the players, and sending Brilliantcrypto Beta Tests players to Paris to watch the team play at Parc des Princes.

Furthermore, those from most regions watching matches of Paris Saint-Germain can see Brilliantcrypto’s branding being displayed around the stadium. We hope the Brilliantcrypto power helps power the team’s performance to greater heights!

Brilliantcrypto plans to carry out many more successful collaborations and promotional campaigns with Paris Saint-Germain, to build the global presence of the game, and spread the message of Digital Gemstones.

Aside from user acquisition, Brilliantcrypto’s current users are also quickly becoming passionate fans of the club, with the Discord server coming together to support them every time they play.

It’s clear there is a bright future ahead for our partnership and the game.
