The start of the year was much as we’d anticipated. WILD. After a sleepy Christmas, the team came roaring back to life with a laser focus on getting ready for the public launch of the BlockGames App, a raft of new appointments to grow the team, plus setting the course for the next 12 months. There’s a lot of ground to cover. In this recap, we’ll touch upon the milestones we’ve passed and the goals we’ve smashed.
Referrals rule!
We love to spread the love, and what better way to do it than through referrals? In January, with the closed Alpha of the BlockGames App going gangbusters, we extended our referral program from DICE holders only to any users who wanted to invite their friends and connections. This means that, now, anyone with Player Network access can just tap the ‘Referrals’ tab inside the BlockGames App, copy their unique code, and send it to the people they dig the most. Another cool thing is we made this a super-easy way for users to pile up even more credits, and get more Airdrop Points that turn into $BLOCK when the token launches.
Killing it with collabs
We aim to be a central player in the Web2 and Web3 gaming communities. Part of achieving that goal includes teaming up with other awesome players who share a similar vision. With that in mind, we climbed aboard the collaboration train making regular stops to meet, greet and team up with some of the very best gaming NFT projects out there. Part of our deal with these Web3 OGs was to grant their NFT-holding community members exclusive early access to the BlockGames Player Network. We discovered that this is a fantastic way to drive community growth and user engagement to new heights! Since powering up on collabs, we’ve smashed through 100K Twitter followers (there’s no going back now folks), and made more new friends than we ever thought possible. Here are some of the top-shelf projects we recently hooked up with.

Roadmap
This was a biggie to kick off the year highlighting what’s up ahead in the next few months. What’s more, the roadmap you see before you isn’t everything BlockGames is doing. But it does mark the major milestones we’ve passed and are striving towards as a team and community. At the end of January, we revealed a sneak peek of our tokenomics setting out specific allocations along with an outline of our distribution and vesting schedules. The hype has also been building as we draw ever closer to the public launch of the BlockGames App. This is, without doubt, a seminal moment for a new breed of mobile gamers. So get ready. It’s time to lock and load!
Rolling with the BG OGs!
Keen to amp up the DICE NFT experience for owners, we added a few more features, aka utilities, to keep the narrative fresh and community spirits high. With this in mind, we steeped every DICE NFT in a heady brew until the entire collection was infused with no less than 5% of the TOTAL supply of $BLOCK. That’s 50M tokens dropping directly into the hands of the 5555 DICE-holding community members in line with the vesting schedule outlined in our tokenomics. This, in addition to the 3% of $BLOCK tokens immediately available to the community as soon as the token launches. Prior to this, we introduced DICE Airdrop multipliers ranging from 3X to 10X depending on allocation criteria and rarity. Airdrop Points earned this way will be 100% unlocked at token launch. We knew you’d like that! We also introduced soft staking where owners get 1,000 Airdrop points for each held DICE in a connected wallet plus their Multiplier as long as the DICE isn’t sold, listed for sale, or transferred. Our aim is to keep the NFT utilities rolling as the Player Network continues to evolve. Number one tip? Sit on your hands and keep those DICE staked!
Airdrop Points: Powering up!
We heard that everyone loves a good airdrop. But we weren’t happy with that so we decided to take ours from good to GREAT. After all, what better way to reward our loyal community than amp up the DROP? So we added new ways for our users to get more points that they can convert into $BLOCK when our token launches later in the year. What did we introduce? 250 points for following @blockgames on Twitter, 350 points for posting about BlockGames, 150 points for linking a Twitter account, and more. In total, BlockGames App newbies can now scoop an easy 1000 Airdrop Points in less than 10 minutes just by completing a few simple tasks. All from within the app.
Let’s go shopping
Who doesn’t like shopping? Our guess is…nobody. So we were delighted to announce in January the launch of the BlockGames App Shop, a place where the credits you earned can be spent. Previously, credits could only be swapped for tickets for contest-based raffles. But now, you can exchange your credits for real-world rewards including Amazon, Paypal, and PlayStation gift cards, with more exciting options and rewards coming soon. So what are you waiting for? Get gaming, get earning, and get the things you really want!
Going big on games
It’s always been our mission to add an ever-growing number of high-quality games to the Player Network and give ever-greater value to our users, and that’s just what we’ve been doing. Having kicked off with around 200 games last year we added even more games in January. As much as we’d love to list them all here, it’s important to note that our games are geo-specific. So, those you might get to play in India, you might not get to play in the USA, and so on. But we are adding and adding and adding meaning that, whatever country you reside in, games are definitely coming your way!
That’s it for the January wrap. February is a shorter month, but we’ll try and pack as much into it as we can, so stay tuned to our socials for announcements and a heads-up on our next monthly retrospective. BG OGs, make no mistake…the best is yet to come. LFG (Let’s February Go)!
BlockGames is the world’s first cross-chain, cross-game Player Network, accelerating user acquisition for games and real rewards for players. Look out for the new App launching to the public soon. Follow our socials for updates.
