MetalCore, a popular free-to-play mech shooter game, just launched and introduced its new $MCG token today, June 28. The token aims to improve the in-game economy and enhance the overall player experience.
MetalCore’s decision to launch the $MCG token comes after experiencing significant growth in its community. The Closed Beta 2.5 expanded its membership to over 350,000 and attracted more than 123,000 active players.
Key Innovations with $MCG Token
The $MCG token is an ERC-20 token designed to serve as the primary currency within MetalCore’s ecosystem. It will facilitate various in-game transactions, reward player achievements, and support economic activities. Deployed on both Immutable zkEVM rollup and the Ethereum mainnet, the token ensures interoperability and a wide reach.
MetalCore’s economy features three other primary currencies alongside $MCG—CREDITS, HYPERIUM, and SHARDS—each with unique roles. Credits help with player progression, Hyperium is used for minting and upgrading NFTs, and Shards are geared towards crafting and leveling up accounts. The introduction of $MCG will allow players to buy Hyperium or Shards, mint game items into NFTs, and upgrade them, enhancing the gameplay further.
Economic Model: Faucets and Sinks
MetalCore utilizes a balanced approach using “Faucets” and “Sinks” to regulate the flow of $MCG tokens. Faucets distribute $MCG to players, enhancing gameplay engagement, while Sinks manage the token’s expenditure on different in-game assets. This model promotes active participation and sustains the token’s value.
Please keep in mind the following information: A total of 3 billion $MCG tokens will be distributed, with a focus on community engagement, team incentives, and ecosystem development. The game will remain accessible at no initial cost through a Beta Access Code. Players will also have the option to purchase Founders Packs for guaranteed beta access.
