Internet has opened a pandora box filled with endless opportunities to make money. You just need to find the right opportunity that fits your skill and interests. There are many ways to make money online, and it’s not as hard as you think. You just need the right information and some motivation. This step-by-step guide will get you started on a successful journey towards making money online.

Decide on your online income goal

The first and foremost thing that you need to decide is how much do you want to earn from online business. The online income goal can help you focus on the right direction and also decide what online business model you need to use for your online business. You should also be realistic with your online income goals. If making $5000 a month is your online income goal, then you should start your online business only after researching, finding the right opportunity and making a plan to reach that goal. You can also start with smaller online income goals like earning $100 a month from an online side hustle or an online business. Once you get the hang of it, you can scale up and increase your income goal.

Start a blog and build an audience

Bloggers make money in a variety of different ways, but the most important ones are affiliate marketing and sponsored posts. Blogging is a great way to make money online. You don’t need a large following or website to get started. Even a basic blog can bring in a significant amount of money if you put enough time and effort into it. Basically, you are creating content (blog posts, videos, images, etc.) that will be useful to your audience. You are also curating useful information from other sources and reposting it on your blog. Blogging is an excellent way to make money online because it’s a skill that you can use to create income for years to come. And the more you practice, the better you’ll get.

Become an affiliate marketer

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways to earn money online. The basic idea is that you promote other people’s (or company’s) products or services, and if someone buys something through your link, you get a commission. You can promote any product you like, but you should choose something that’s related to your audience’s interests. For example, if you’re a dog lover, you can promote dog toys or dog food products. You can also promote other stuff like clothing, travel deals, health and fitness products, etc. You can make money with affiliate marketing in different ways. For example, you can create an account on Amazon Associates. Amazon Associates is an affiliate marketing program that lets you earn money every time someone buys a product through your account.

Earn with drop shipping

Drop shipping is an online business model where you don’t keep the items you sell in stock. Instead, you purchase the items once your customer places an order. Then you ship the item directly to your customer. This model works best with items that are easy to ship, such as certain clothing and accessories. You can start a drop shipping business with something like Shopify or you can use a drop shipping wholesaler like DaDaBIB. You can also create an account on a drop shipping website like Dropship Direct. You simply find a supplier that offers a drop shipping service and then create a store on the website. You can then promote your products online and let the drop shipper ship the items to your customers.

Earn With Online Tutoring Or Teaching

If you have expertise in a specific niche, you can earn money by teaching online. You can create videos and upload them on YouTube. Alternatively, you can create an account on a website like Tutor.com or TutorVista.com and start teaching online. You can also sign up for online forums and start engaging with people in your field of expertise. This is a great way to network and make some extra money from tips and advice that you share with others.

Conclusion

Making money online can be a great way to earn a full-time or part-time income. There are plenty of different ways to make money online that suit a variety of skill sets. The important thing is to find an opportunity that excites you and fits your skills and interests. The best way to start is by taking action. Simply pick a method that interests you and start working towards making money with it. It takes time to build a profitable online business, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results right away.

What’s up my fellow Mavians? This is the Rebase King here with a new installment called Meet a Mavian! This segment is exactly what it sounds like: I will be interviewing 1–3 Mavians a week and highlighting the unique personalities that the Mavia vision has enthralled. These interviews are conducted via video chat and I shape them up in a nice text format for entertainment and viewing purposes.

1. Where are you from?

A region called Riga in the country of Latvia. This is a region with many different beliefs, ranging from the very progressive new-school way of thinking to the old-school Soviet Union mentality. It is a very diverse place to live.

2. What languages do you speak?

Korean, Russian, German, Ukrainian, and English. When I went to school, I had only German there, so after school, I realized that I did not need German, but I needed to learn English. So I learned English by myself without a teacher. I am currently learning Spanish… I just get bored and want to learn a new language.

3. What is a brief background on yourself:

I am a speaker, a sales coach, and I write articles about myself. I really like to read, which led me to you. Your [Rebase King’s] newsletter article was the first article that sparked curiosity. Most are copy paste from all the sources, whether its the pitch deck, Discord, or AMAs. The language you utilize is amazing. Totally in love with your [Rebase King] articles. I am sure that Aiven will say yes to an interview one day, I know that is a passion of yours [Rebase King].

4. How did you get into crypto, and what excites you most about it?

I have known about crypto since 2012. I learned about it, but did not believe in it at that time. This was due to experience with the banking system and their control over financial industries. When I learned about the cryptocurrencies, the idea was cool but did not want to get involved.

Then I bought my first couple BTCs and sold them for $100. After BTC hit 50K I told my friends to stop reminding me of that silly folly.

A while after that, I had many businesses including a real estate agency in Spain, but I wanted to work with something else. So I started to teach people about sales, and most importantly the motivation to generate sales. Through this type of networking I started meeting people that talked extensively about cryptocurrency, tokens, altcoins, etc…

And I thought… Why am I staying away from this experience that could benefit myself?

In the beginning I invested in OneCoin. This project was a huge ponzi scam that hurt many people in the long run. They said they had their own private coin and blockchain. A lot of people believed in it. Most people want to do nothing and get a lot of money. So many are desperate, poor and see crypto as a way to get there. This OneCoin project was based on network marketing and took advantage of this popular sentiment in crypto. This is how I learned that anything connected through network marketing is a scam.

Although I lost money, I learned much knowledge to navigate the space even further and still continue to navigate it today

5. How did you hear of Mavia?

My best friend told me about Mavia. She said we should collaborate and educate each other to support each other around this project. Mavia is my first big project that I have been enjoying since the Discord server had around 40,000 people. I was reading all the messages, watching all the videos, and started to understand the project in-depth because I have to understand it inside and out. I have really enjoyed residing in the Mavia universe.

6. Why do you believe Mavia will be successful?

Mavia will be successful because Tristan (Selenium) said they want to see the actual contributors to the company. He has been the managing director, and in the video, the first words of the AMA, he explained why is ready to give them lands. It was not for gimmicky giveaways, etc… but it was meant for REAL people that believe in Mavia and they will reward Mavians with actual talent and dedication.

I have a strong belief that you never get anything else than what you put in. The Mavia team puts in effort and time into the project, and it is extremely apparent, especially when you watch Aiven’s modeling in Discord. The Mavia team wants to make sure that the people put in time and effort into the project as well.

I believe that Mavia will be the “Tesla” of the gaming industry. They are not so unique, but the way they think and the way Heroes of Mavia is built is the unique part. They thought about every single person who is going to be in this game. There is a place for people for no money, there is a place for whales with too much land, there is a place for any type of individual that wants to interact with the land.

The community is the third reason that I believe the game will succeed. The management set the tone/vibe of the project that created such faithful Mavians. The only thing we have to do is keep our eyes centered around the project and do our part as a faithful community.

You can tell that Mavia keeps a close eye on its community. Individuals who stand out, get to be moderators. You can be yourself in all the chats. The moderators and community have the patience to answer the same question 50 times a day. There is no negativity amongst the Mavians. This is where the strongest aspect of the game lies. The 70k Discord members are just the beginning to a huge following.

Furthermore,the game emphasizes using your brain to strategize. The AAA graphics, the animation you get to see Aiven modeling the actual characters in real-time…. This is such a special thing to show to the people. This is a true genius to watch. This amazing skill shows the creation of the game to keep people engaged. It is like no other gaming project in this way.

7. Where do you see Mavia’s future going?

Mavia’s future is becoming a big player in the gaming industry. This will be a gamechanger in the crypto world. Most of the tokens are based on nothing. It is speculative, manipulated, etc…. These tokens will have NFTs, in-game rewards, and actual utility to the game in a unique way. This will be the first game to utilize the dual-tokenomics model. They will be leaders in the market in 1–2 years.

Mavia does not present themselves as an asset. They will let you make money, but the first priority is the game, not the money. The play-to-earn is secondary because the gameplay is first and foremost. They are marketing to all ages, the whales, the poor, to anybody that likes mobile games or just likes NFTs and this is their biggest strength.

I told a friend that doubted Mavia… wait until the end of this year…. I will tell him, “I told you so”.I know he will eat his words, and now he keeps his eye on the game too.

8. Are you a gamer? How do you want to participate in the game?

I am not a gamer at all, I have not played any game like that in my life, but I really like to watch how it plays. Mavia is a project that can offer any user, even non-gamers. You want to make money, you’re welcome. You want to play for free, welcome to the community. You want to own a bunch of NFTs, welcome aboard the S.S. Mavia.

This is the first game that I want to be a player of as well and it’s not for the play-to-earn perspective. I want to introduce this world to myself and it is what I want to do. I am so inspired by this project that I want to join it as a player. Hopefully I will learn fast.

I am a first-time gamer and am so honored to have Mavia as my first. It is a big deal for me to choose this as my way of passing time at an airport or at a coffee shop. I also have one person in my family that plays the game so perhaps we can team up and win some RUBY together!

9. What is a fun fact, or a talent, an extraordinary short story about yourself that makes you unique?

There are so many of them. The funnest story that I can think of is the one I tell to all my trainees.

To give some background: I am in a Soviet Union country. I have a lot of people that know the USSR and a lot of people that do not know that era. Very old-school mentality among those that remember the Soviet Union. I am a salesperson that trains many people over the years and I happen to have a bunch of old ladies in training on this day.

However, on this particular day, I was running late to work so I was not able to dress in my business apparel. So my arms were showing as I was giving the training. During the presentation, I could clearly see that the people were not following along, or seemed to not understand the material. After 15 minutes, I stopped the presentation and asked,” What is wrong?”

One of the old ladies stood up and asked, “Do you believe in God?”

I asked, “Why do you ask that,” and I said, “Yes”.

She said, “Because tattoos come from the Devil.”

I was speechless. Anybody that knows me, would say that it is very hard to make me speechless since I always have something to say.

They were unable to focus on the training that they paid for because of my tattoos!

I said, “If you are ready to get the information, then you need to get tattoos out of your mind.”

After that funny moment, the woman came up to me afterwards for a great talk. I realized after that training, that I did not need to teach people how to sell, but I needed to teach people how to BE THEMSELVES.

Now I start off all my talks telling my trainees that I have tattoos, I have two girls, etc…. I exemplify how comfortable I am to be myself.

I can understand her mindset, back in her day, the only people who had tattoos were prisoners. The judgment in this type of region is very old school, so the judgment is very high. You can be judged for having pink hair, having tattoos, or being different. However, I know that you can be “weird” and still be successful in this type of atmosphere. This is what I focus my training sessions on now.

A fundamental belief of mine is that you can like whatever you want. You can be old-school, new-school, it does not matter. I do not like tattoos on my face. However, I do respect someone who does believe in it and makes them happy. There is a reason why the old-school thinking existed, it worked for that time, back in the day. There is a reason why there is new thinking, to progress the future forward. None of it should be shunned and people should follow their heart and their unique individuality.

10. Give a shout out to Mavia, to charity, to your family, or whatever you want to promote!

The fact that, Mavia as an idea, as a project, is making a lot of people’s lives better. I believe that if every single person chooses to help another, even once per day, that this would make the world much better. I believe Mavia can make people much happier and this is why I support this project so much. Choosing to do good is what I promote most in my life and Mavia shares this vision. I am a big fan that will always support the Mavian dream.

$UNIV and Spookyverse plan to pay up to 2,044% APR with NFTs while creating a sustainable Metaverse. These protocols depend on players upgrading their nodes by compounding their daily rewards. Every 4 hours, a node owner will have the choice to compound their rewards or collect the rewards from their nodes. If they choose to compound, they will be paying a small fee to “not collect their rewards” and gain a bonus percentage to their NFT.

For example, the first node will start at around 4% daily, but leveling up the node after the 1st four hours, will give it a 1% bonus, equaling a total of 5% a day being earned. If the player keeps doing this, they will max out their tier 1 node at 5%. If they choose to level up again, the node will go to tier 2, where the bonus increases are smaller (around 0.5% every level up) and the node will increase in value. Spookyverse is gamifying this model!

Spookyverse is the first DaaS NFT metaverse that will allow you to ape into a faction to win the game which will reward the winning faction greatly. By the looks of the Discord setup, it appears that “players’’ will invest a certain amount of $Scream into the protocol to choose which faction they belong in. The 5 factions, from lowest budget to whales is:

1. Skeletons Faction: Low budget of $Scream
2. Ghosts Faction: Crypto minnow amount of $Scream
3. Pumpkinheads: have some $Scream
4. Vampires Faction: considerable $Scream
5. Reapers Faction: lots of $Scream
6. Wizards Faction: inexhaustible amounts of $Scream

Leaked node information on their Twitter indicates that their nodes will have different tiers that increase the number of rewards.

The lowest node revealed is the Pumpkin Head Node. This Node is a tier 3 node that gives 5–10% bonus to the daily rewards. Owning one of these nodes gives 60 pts to the faction of your choice.

The next node revealed is the vampire node that grants a 10–20% reward increase. Upgrading this node will increase the percentage by 0.1%. This tier 4 node also rewards the faction 80 points to a mystery reward.

The last node revealed on their official Twitter is the Reaper Node. This tier 5 node grants a 20–30% bonus rewards. This high-level node will give 100 points to a faction.

If Spookyverse continues to copy the $UNIV model, the 1st node tier will be the Skeleton Node that has a 1–5% bonus when upgraded. It will also provide up to 20 points for a faction. The 2nd nod tier will be the Ghost Node which will most likely earn an additional 5–10% bonus on node rewards and earn the owning faction 40 points.

So far, they have up to 2000 members online with WL announcement, dashboard, roadmap, and much of the Discord needed to be built out. But if it is able to mimic $UNIV magic with their innovative Node-as-a-Sevice technology…..

Then we live in quite a Spooky World indeed.

Announcement Updates:

1. Starting with the announcements for the week, it was revealed that the WL land opportunities have been given out to around 1000 lucky Mavians, including yours truly! If you did not receive land during this phase of the WL event, DO NOT WORRY. There will be more WL revealed this Sunday, January 31st, and the following Sunday after that.

A reminder that you can only win the allotted land that you submitted work for, and that you may be upgraded depending on your continued submissions. For example, although I got two common lands for my submissions, I just got upgraded to one common land and one rare land for my continued work in my pools. Do not give up, keep up the Mavian work. Also, CHECK ALL YOUR EMAIL FOLDERS FOR WL. Mine was in my promotional folder.

2. All 50k members of the Discord that completed the submission form will receive a free rare mystery hero costume. This was chosen out of three options. The other two options were a mystery rare base decoration and 25 RUBY. The results of the first two Discord gifts have been Hero skins, without much support for the other options. Are there other gifts that would entice the Mavia community to choose something other than skins for their Heroes? Only time will tell.

3. Congratulations to the winners of the Legendary Land giveaway on Twitter. The lucky winners were:

Mavian Discord Interview with biggdaddy

Interviewing Mavians, presenting their stories, and giving a shout out to the Mavia project and a faithful Mavian is a true joy of mine. Without further ado, one of my favorite Discord Mavians, who spends so much time helping others and hanging around the voice chat is biggdaddy! He is a recognizable name, who has become a Balkan mod for the Mavia Discord through his dedication.

Q1. How did you get into crypto, and what excites you most about it?

Biggdaddy: I saw my parents being interested in crypto(around oct 2020), so I jumped into the rabbit hole and have been here in space everyday ever since. What excites me the most is that we are still early to this blockchain/crypto revolution and of course buying the dips excites me

Q2. How did you hear of Mavia?

Biggdaddy: I saw a small youtuber in the middle of December talking about it. I can’t remember his name, but his thumbnail was what made me watch the video. So glad I did!

Q3. Why do you believe Mavia will be successful, and where do you see its future going? How do you want to participate in the game?

Biggdaddy: I believe Mavia will be the best crypto game at some point. I believe it’s the next evolution of Clash of Clans. The RUBY model, the team(Skrice Studios) and of course the community, will make this project very successful! I see Heroes of Mavia as a BAYC for crypto games. The only thing they need is marketing in my humble opinion. I am looking forward to playing the game myself and partnering up with some of the people I met from my years of playing Clash of Clans and some that I met in the Heroes of Mavia Discord.

Q4. What is a fun fact, or a talent, an extraordinary short story about yourself that makes you unique?

Biggdaddy: I was a professional basketball player and stopped playing 18 months ago to start full crypto. One of the best decisions in my life!

Q5. What’s a business, a crypto project, or something you want to promote to all the Mavians out there!

Biggdaddy: Don’t sleep on Heroes of Mavia, that’s all I have to say for that question.

Congratulations and Thank You to Biggdaddy for being my first interviewee. I will be asking in the Discord at random to conduct voice chat/text interviews to highlight all the diversity and amazing souls in the Discord community (and hopefully interview Aiven and the team one day). Support Biggdaddy by hanging with him on Discord and Twitter:

First Heroes of Mavia Medium Article: Whitelist and Community Updates

Whitelist details have been updated in the official Mavia Medium page. Highlights include making 1,000 additional Land NFTs available in the WL. Additional land plots will be added to each of their 4 pools: 450 more for “Content Creator, 350 more WL for “Community Engagement”, 150 additional WL for “Arts and Memes”, and an additional 50 WL for “KOLs and Influencers”. The split will be 70% common, 20% rare, and 10% legendary. So the total number of WL will be at 3k, with the public sale having 1k available, making a total of 4k land NFTs available to Mavians.

Another highlight is that the Land NFTs will be made available in batches, to help include more of the community that is coming into the Mavia Discord at later dates. The three batches will be dropped as followed:

Batch #1: 1,000 Whitelists Announced on January 23, 2022

Batch #2: 1,000 Whitelists Announced on January 30, 2022

Batch #3: 1,000 Whitelists Announced on February 6, 2022

A third major change will be that the mint date will be moved to Mid-February. A 1-week buffer will be provided to allow people to gather their funds appropriately.

A fourth major change is that 50 Additional WL will be for Community Events (see Game Night above). These 50 are still available from the pre-sale round, so they will go to the community to reward them for participation in the community.

The fifth and final change is that the Public NFT sale is being discussed internally to help prevent bots from taking advantage of the system, while trying to pay as little in gas fees as possible. Once this has been figured out, a public sale date will be released immediately.

Second Medium Article: Mavia Token and NFT Disclaimers

This article is well worth a personal read for any serious investment into Mavia. It highlights the differences between web 2.0 gaming versus web 3.0 gaming, which essentially breaks down to where ownership of the game (and its in-game assets) belong. In web 3.0, players will be rewarded for all of the time and effort in-game, as they will earn rewards that are actually worth a real-life value outside of the game. NFTs and tokens allow players to experience complete control over their assets and customize them as they see fit.

The team explains that they are not guaranteeing that the increasing of an NFT’s level, or a Hero’s health/damage, will cause the NFT to increase in the secondary market (such as the Mavia marketplace or Opensea). The game economy is completely laissez faire, meaning that the market will determine the price of the NFTs, not Skrice Studios. All in-game value and real-life value is up to the community and marketplace.

The Mavia NFT marketplace will be decentralized and the development team will never take custody of any NFT assets. All transactions in the Mavia marketplace will use strictly the MAVIA token, giving the token more utility to entice users to support the Mavia ecosystem.

There will be no public sale for MAVIA or RUBY. The Mavia governance token will be made available on DEXs and CEXs. NFT assets such as Land, Heroes, and Statues sold to the public will be made available through the Mavia minting website. Later on, NFTs may be supplied through staking and gameplay.

The team will NEVER take royalties or fees for NFT exchanges on the NFT marketplace. The DAO of Mavia may be able to modify these rules to establish a fee for the future of MAVIA and RUBY transactions but the team will never benefit from this and it will go back to the ecosystem (as it should).

RUBY is to be minted through winning battles and completing challenges and milestones, but a critical component to help balance out inflation is that the RUBY will be burned for nearly any in-game utilization. The burning and minting experience is to help create stability in the RUBY token, a necessary component to create a long-lasting web 3.0 game. This is where many web 3.0 games have fallen short.

Furthermore, RUBY speculation and price will NOT be influenced by the Mavia team. They would prefer the price to be stable because this benefits the game and community but they will never try to directly influence it through the secondary markets. Sustainability and balance is the goal, but it may take some time for the ecosystem to establish that.

The Team’s message in the next paragraph is so perfect that I am going to use it directly: “We [the Mavia team] do not make any promises to the value of the MAVIA or RUBY currencies, nor do we make promises for the Land, Hero or Statue NFT future prices. We also do not promise a certain amount of earnings or value to be gained as a result of playing the Mavia game.”

Do your own research always!!

The Mavia marketplace will be made available for everyone through public-facing APIs, so third party applications will be built on top of the game. The codebases will not be made public since there will be sensitive game mechanics and rules which would harm the integrity of the game, if it were made public.

Again this was a must-read for any serious Mavian, and perhaps some of the quiz questions tomorrow will be in this article.

Ways to earn and use RUBY

RUBY is the in-game currency that is utilized for most in-game actions. Most RUBY is minted/earned by the following actions:

1. Winning an attack: A player that decides to battle another opponent’s base can win anywhere from 1–3 stars if the battle is won by the offensive player. The way to win is to defeat a base with a minimum of 50% damage. The more stars earned, the more RUBY earned from the attack.
2. Successful defense: A defending base holding off attackers with 33% damage or less will earn RUBY. Upgrading your walls and towers by reinvesting the earned RUBY will increase those defenses permanently.
3. Removing base obstacles: random obstacles will appear on the base. By checking these obstacles and clearing them, the player will earn free RUBY. This creates a daily incentive to keep the base tidy.
4. Completing challenges: Just like Clash of Clans, Heroes of Mavia will have daily and, possibly, seasonal challenges that will earn RUBY.
5. Partnering a base with another player: Base owners can have a helping hand in establishing, creating, fortifying, and upgrading their base. Another player will be able to manage the base while providing additional RUBY income to the base owner.
6. Wagered matches: Each player can wager an equal amount of RUBY in a fight to the end, winner takes all.

It should be noted that most of these actions cause the minting of RUBY, which INFLATES the circulating supply. This is a negative pressure to the price of RUBY which is balanced through the usage of upgrades and buying anything in-game.

All NFT upgrades requiring RUBY will lead to stronger armies to capture more RUBY from other players. This is critical for any serious gamer, or landowner. All the uses of RUBY are:

1. Headquarter NFT upgrades: these are permanent value increases to the Land NFT. These upgrades increase the value for the owner, or anyone that plays the game on the owner’s land. As mentioned before, upgrading the headquarters will allow players to face higher level opponents, obtain increased resource rewards from assisting structures, and have a better chance of surviving an attack.
2. Hero NFTs upgrades: these are permanent increases to the offense/defense, and speed of your Hero. Each Hero will have different strengths and weaknesses that will become more well-rounded as their experience increases.
3. Statue NFT upgrades: Statues in Heroes of Mavia work like boosts in Clash of Clans. Whether it grants increased building completion time, further attack/defense boosts, or increased RUBY rewards is anyone’s guess.
4. Purchasing Gold and Oil: These resources are necessities to build assisting structures on the bases. Assisting structures will spawn resources, troops, and additional benefits for the base.
5. Process speed-ups: RUBY will speed up any required building or upgrade time. RUBY will also speed up troop training and other timed processes in the game.
6. Skins and Decorations: It still remains to be seen whether skins will add any in-game benefit, but these add-ons will surely give value to a player’s Hero and Base since it costs RUBY.

Nearly all of these actions BURN RUBY, which takes them out of circulation permanently. This adds positive pressure to the price of RUBY, increasing the value of it.

Another important aspect is the withdrawal tax surrounding RUBY which may deter a player from withdrawing RUBY into a player’s wallet. This tax is going to be around 15%, and all RUBY from this will be burned. However, the team incentivizes the buying of RUBY by adding a 10% bonus for every RUBY deposited into the Mavia game.

The team behind Heroes of Mavia have expressed an important aspect of RUBY: they wish to see the value of RUBY remain relatively stable, preferably around $1. The team also mentioned that free market economics would reign, and that they would not interfere if the market dictates volatility for the coin. This strategy is to combat a systemic problem in crypto play-to-earn games. The problem is that in-game currencies usually become overinflated, or are sold immediately, which tanks the price and thereby devalues the game. The team believes that by incorporating several of such mechanisms, they will keep RUBY stable and avoid the pitfalls of their predecessors.

Now for the other half of Mavia tokenomics:

How to earn and utilize MAVIA

MAVIA is the currency necessary to purchase anything on the MAVIA marketplace. MAVIA can be earned in several ways, such as:

1. Buying/Selling NFTs: MAVIA can be earned by the successful sale of Heroes, Land, Skins or Statues. The price of these NFTs will be dictated by their owners and the marketplace.
2. Renting bases: An owner may earn MAVIA by renting out their base for any amount of time. An owner will be able to mint a synthetic base for a player to rent, essentially eliminating the risk of losing the original Base NFT.
3. Purchasing from a market: MAVIA will be released on a DEX or CEX. More updates on which markets will be optimal to buy MAVIA still to come.

Owning MAVIA has multiple benefits. The primary benefit of owning MAVIA is their staking rewards which have bonus incentives. Token owners can stake their MAVIA in order to earn additional MAVIA, earning free NFTs as a bonus, which highly incentivizes the long-term holding of MAVIA.

The governance of MAVIA will be determined by token holders. Although the team will always provide their opinion, they envision a player-led game. The community provides the best feedback by making known the needs for further improvements within the tokenomics, gameplay, or UI experience.

The team would prefer players to sell MAVIA for profits instead of RUBY.

This supports the market by creating less selling pressure for the in-game token. The preferred way to transfer the value of RUBY into MAVIA is by upgrading NFTs with RUBY, and then selling them for MAVIA.

The tokenomics between MAVIA and RUBY can be seen here:

When will these tokens be released?

Around 40% of MAVIA’s total supply has already been allocated to venture capitalists, gaming guilds, and advisors. The public token launch of MAVIA is expected to be within Q1 of 2022. Land, Hero, and Statue NFTs will be released on OpenSea after the release of MAVIA. Staking for MAVIA and additional rewards will follow shortly thereafter.

RUBY will be launched in Q4 of 2022 when the expected v1.0 of the game will be released. This will be a joyous occasion that will be celebrated with many different NFT releases, battles, and wagers. All of this information begs the question…

When the call of battle arises, will you be amongst the Mavians… or their predecessors?

Bases/Lands uses and mechanics

Bases/Land is the crux of Heroes of Mavia: players need a base for his Heros, Statues and armies to reside. A base will come with several strategic decisions such as establishing different units in an army for offense and defense and establishing walls, towers, traps, and decoys to provide the maximum amount of firepower and shielding. The base will be monumental to up-leveling, gaining RUBY, and dominating the competition. Base NFTs are advantageous to own for 3 primary reasons:

1. Bases/Land is extremely limited and, thus, the most prized possession in the game. There will only be 2,000 lands available in the whitelisting event. This will change as time goes on, but 2,000 lands is an extremely small amount of NFTs. Guaranteeing oneself and their friends a base for future playing is quite the lucrative strategy. Naturally, it is expected for the Bases to become extremely more valuable as time goes on, since all upgrades made to a base are permanent. A player’s time upgrading his digital assets will never go in vain.
2. Renting out Bases/Lands earns the owner of the land MAVIA, the governance and NFT market utility token of Mavia Games that is not earned in-game (more on this in the next article). Renting out a base for a fixed, daily rate of income for MAVIA may interest those that have lots of land that they cannot develop, or perhaps, an owner of a Base that does not want to play the game extensively. The owner of the land will dictate the price, daily rate, and duration of the lease. The owner is not entitled to any of the RUBY, (the primary in-game reward token utilized for NFT upgrades), that is earned by the player renting the land for gameplay purposes.
3. Base/Land partnerships allow owners to keep control of their Base/Land for gameplay but allow another player to use and upgrade the base. RUBY proceeds are split amongst the player and the owner, dictated by the owner’s asking price. For example, the owner could set the rewards split 75% RUBY to himself, while 25% goes to the partner. However, the partner does not need to pay MAVIA for the land, unlike a renter.

It needs to be mentioned AGAIN that all upgrades of the Base, whether paid for by the owner, a renter, or a partner, will be permanent to the NFT, and thus the owner of the land NFT has significant value. When the Land/Base is upgraded, more RUBY is able to be earned, and higher opponents can be battled. Each plot of land that carries forth battles is unique in both design, geography, and layout. Plots of land can be bought/sold on OpenSea, and eventually, Mavia’s own marketplace.

So far there have been 4,000 plots of land already sold. 1,000 more plots of Land will be sold in the future, when the public release on OpenSea is announced in the nearby future… But for now….

On to the exciting part…

Whitelisting and Land Sale Details

2,000 plots of Land with 3 unique rarities will be made available for purchase:

1. 1,400 of the plots of Land will be Common (70% of total supply).
2. 400 of the plots will be Rare (20% of total supply).
3. 200 of the plots will be Legendary. (10% of the total supply)

The rarity of the Land will not affect offensive or defensive strategy. However, these Land NFTs can be soft-staked for rewards that will accumulate until the beta gameplay capabilities have been released (Q3 2022). The rewards for soft-staking Land have not been released. However, the developers have mentioned the staking will be quite lucrative….

The Whitelist application has four potential ways to earn a whitelist spot:

1. Digital and physical artists are welcome to add artwork to the Mavia universe. Artists may choose to work with any medium they wish including, but not limited to, videos, artwork, high-quality memes, GIFs, character/skin/statue designs, base decorations, and any other creative outreach that can be explored. However, there is a specific request from the dev team that the art must be Mavia related. There are even job opportunities for talented artists that want to join the Mavia team. Overall, this “pool” of candidates will be allotted 300 spots for Land.
2. Content creators are invited to post about the intricacies of the gameplay, the tokenomics, in-depth analysis of each component of the game, etc…. The platform for content to be posted is Instagram stories, TikTok, Blogs, Youtube, Twitter threads, podcasts, Reddit posts, Medium posts, Twitch streaming, and any other social media submission is welcome. Remember that the quality of the post is of the utmost importance, not the quantity. One really good submission is much better than two average articles. Linking the content back to the official Mavia website is absolutely necessary, and giving a shoutout to their Twitter, Youtube, Medium, and Instagram never hurts. No shilling or spamming, and especially no FUDing. Content creators will have 900 spots available for grab.
3. Commenters are community engagers whose talents specialize in strengthening the communal spirit of Mavia. The engager’s primary concern should always be to support the proliferation of content and growth within the Heroes of Mavia following. To be effective these commenters will need to engage in multiple platforms such as Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram. Again, quality will always reign supreme over quantity. The community helpers and engagers will have 700 plots of land to win.
4. Finally, influencers are able to Whitelist also. These are long-term partners that are interested in making content about Mavia, spreading awareness and knowledge about the game and ecosystem. The social media spaces that Influencers can be a part of include Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Esports, Twitch, Youtube, and other platforms. Mavia intends on giving 100 plots of land to those that are prevalent in their social media space and are willing to grow the game’s outreach into the crypto and gaming space.

The Whitelisting Event started on the 6th of January and will continue until January 20th. The lucky land settlers will be chosen on January 23rd. On January 23rd, the land will be minted in the wallet address put into the official Mavia Land Settler Google form. Everyone will select the rarity of the land that they want, but supplies can only last so long. For instance, if one selected a Legendary plot will have first choice to that, but if those run out, the next highest rarity will go to them.

It is not too late to join the community engagement for this project, check out the Medium article here that gives more in-depth details about Whitelisting. More articles covering the expansive Metaverse of Mavia will be coming shortly. The next article will discuss gameplay and the second-most important NFT and how to purchase them: Heroes.

“Free from desire, you can see the hidden mystery. By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real. Yet mystery and reality emerge from the same source. This sources is called darkness. Darkness born from darkness. The beginning of all understanding.”

Tao Te Ching Verse from Chapter 1.

What is Dark Therapy/Dark Room Therapy?

Dark room therapy is simply isolating oneself in a dark abode, usually it being a cave or room. This tradition stems from the Taoist tradition of using cave meditation practices to experience higher states of the mind. An individual will normally spend anywhere from a week to two weeks in order to get the desired effects. It is interesting to note that within the Tao Tantra, it is seen as a time to revel in yin, the divine feminine aspect of life. This practice is also closely associated with sensory deprivation, but most dark room retreats bring food or offer conversation during the therapy, as well as encourage activities such as meditating, writing, sleeping, or focusing on spirit-enhancing visualization techniques. Another unique way to find extensive sources on this subject is by investigating the “Perfect Inner Alchemy Chamber”.

What is the key mechanism behind this practice?

The key mechanism starts with melatonin, which is created in the brain by converting tryptophan into serotonin, which is then converted into serotonin. There needs to be enough tryptophan in the body through diet. Then, the melatonin builds up over the course of the next few days. It builds up at the rate of 2–5mg per day which then tapers off at 15–20mg. The body then recognizes that melatonin is no longer needed and begins producing pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT, and DMT. THis part of the process takes about 3 days. Pinolene is released within the pineal gland (as all these compounds are) and produce “the light show” that is commonly seen in many psychedelics.

The DMT and 5-MeO-DMT is a key part of the therapy. During this point, “ego death” can be experienced with an increase in “beingness”. During days 6–8, 5-MeO-DMT (which is normally only found in the womb and in the first few months) is now reactivated. Around day 9–12, there is enough mono amine oxidase inhibition from the pinoline secretion to allow the melatonin cycle to be intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity to be converted into a DMT serotonin pathway. The DMT levels reach above 25mg which allows the body to transcend into “hyperspace” or the DMT realm.

Being familiar with the process, what does each individual compound contribute?

Melatonin most commonly known for maintaining the body’s circadian rhythm; an extremely important task. However, it has also been known to protect against oxidative stress which lessens the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Eye health is a huge part of melatonin, as well as migraine prevention. It has also been shown to treat gut dysbiosis and inflammation. Among many more benefits, the last one that will be mentioned is that melatonin is key for cardiovascular health. Dark room therapy resets the melatonin cycle, creating harmony within the brain, gut, and heart. It is interesting to note that melatonin has the same basic molecular structure as LSD, so it is not difficult to imagine this being synthesized to psychoactive molecules.

Pinoline is also suspected to play a role with neuromodulation within the retina and act as an antioxidant. Another study has found that it exerts an antidepressant like effect on the body. This is due to pinoline inhibiting the Nono Amine Oxidase enzyme which allows more serotonin to be present within the brain. This shows an important connection, depression may not be caused by light but by a lack of complete darkness (especially during sleeping hours). Another study, shows that a high dose of pinoline boosted the immune system 2.6 fold. The HeartMath Institute shows that 8 Hz frequency in the brain is created through compassionate thinking and meditation. This creates more pinoline (and melatonin) which instigates cell division, binds to DNA and helps share electrons with DNA base pairs. According to the March 1965 issue of Scientific American, pg 27, it is at this moment of superconductivity that superior 8 Hz is instigated and bio photons of infrared emerge from the DNA. Infrared has been shown to have very effective detox and life-enhancing qualities (an another article can be written about this alone).

DMT: dimethyltryptamine is very similar to a near-death experience. One normally leaves the physical plane of existence that we all know and experience another realm that is full of wonders such as elves, advanced beings, and angel-like beings. This may sound silly but many have had profound experiences while experiencing life-altering changes on the perspective of their universe and consciousness. Some have frightening experiences while others carry away great information and feel-good memories. The experience is so intense that one should not embark on a DMT experience lightly. It should be held with respect and one should think of “destination” or intention for the journey before they begin.

There are actual physical, health benefits being reported as well. DMT has been shown to protect neurons and immune cells under the lack of oxygen, implying that it does protect cells from oxidative stress. This may lead to DMT being used to help treat brain injuries, especially ones caused by the lack of oxygen.

5-MeO-DMT is within the tryptamine family, just like DMT. It has profound effects on the human body, very similar to DMT. A loss of ego, intense feelings of emotions, and unique visuals are common to these experiences. This compound acts on the serotonin system (just like DMT) and have anti-inflammatory and neuro-regenerative effects. The intense experiences also can cause pain relief. Both DMT and 5-MeO-DMT can produce anti-addiction effects due to the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors. Other studies have shown the 5-MeO-DMT may decrease neuron death and brain lesions while increasing brain plasticity (an huge element of learning).

So where does this leave us in conclusion?

Dark room therapy has been utilized for many years. The simple method is start this therapy is to make sure that 6–8 hours of sleep are in complete darkness. The more extensive therapy is to stay in complete darkness for up to 2 weeks. After a few days, profound compounds are released which can create amazing experiences that separate oneself from “who they think they are”, normally called an ego death. While it is strange for Westerners to regard this concept, of not being who we think we are, this is a teaching that stems across different religions and philosophies. Many have found this therapy to be highly insightful to the inner workings of their mind, body, and soul. Although some may be frightened at the prospect of light deprivation for an extended period, it is important to explore the potential benefits of naturally stimulating one’s own psychotropics instead of relying on outside means that could have negative additives or processing materials.
