Myko (CryptoDiffer)
Superb! Thanks for the answers Q2: Can you introduce CropBytes to us?
Sandeep Kumar
CropBytes is a crypto farming game that was launched in 2018 and has been growing ever since. Today it is one of the few Crypto games to be available on Android, IOS and web. We recently closed our seed round funding and are now going public with our token (CBX) on 5th November i:e in 3 days. ๐ฅณ๐ The game is built with a sustainable economy and our players love the farming and strategic business challenges to play and grow their crypto farm. In this virtual farm, players grow crops, raise animals and produce goods to build their crypto farm and own crypto coins.
CropBytes has created real value for gamers around the world in the form of virtual currency. We believe that second life gaming will be a source of income for millions of people on the metaverse.
Today we have 250K players worldwide, 100k+ downloads, and 4.2* Avg store ratings.

okie oh
my device lagged ahah, sorry
Q3: Let`s now talk about the milestones you have achieved so far and about your upcoming plans?
Sandeep Kumar
Ha ha that's ok In 2018, we started out as a simple farming simulation game. He game functioned without any complicated wallets or software and it was available on Android, IOS and Web app.
The latest version of CropBytes features a robust collection of assets, a beautiful 3D game environment with high-quality graphics, new Ui, 3D elements & more.
The in-game exchange is one of the biggest breakthroughs in gaming. Even modern games today use traditional list-style trading. Itโs an outdated concept and lacks key features that are found in CropBytes.
We have some exciting features coming up on CropBytes, these include tokenization of assets. All FTs and NFTs in the game will be on-chain and will be tradable on public platforms. We're also constantly optimizing the economics, but this will also include major feature updates like Staking, PVP mini-games, PVP Superhero battles, and much more.
Myko (CryptoDiffer)
that's comprehensive! final one
Q4: There are many Crypto games out there, is there anything that makes CropBytes unique?
Sandeep Kumar
That's good question ๐ The fundamental innovation in the game is the replicating the economics of real-life, which sets it apart from all the crypto games in the market. There is a perfect mix of fungible and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) while most other games today are focused only on NFTs. This solves multiple issues around liquidity, ultimately contributing to the gameโs growth and development.
Players build their farm in the CropBytes metaverse using crypto as a means for transactions with other players. This is a real world economy just like a nation of citizens that work towards building their portfolio and in turn also boost the economy of their nation.

It's a known fact that most of the games nowadays are running behind NFT trends, however, NFTs are plagued with liquidity problem. This will become more worse when the market becomes bearish, only few gaming projects will be able to survive when this period comes. What do you think could be done to help avoid such thing from happening to Cropbytes? What are the sustainability strategies you've come up with? Sheryl Varghese
Hello Friend, yes this is exactly the problem we had fixed in the bud 3 years ago by working out an economy in the game metaverse. We have a subtle balance of Fungible tokens and Non-fungible tokens in the game. All the daily essential assets in the game are FTs, so there is enough liquidity in the in-game market when the player wishes to sell or buy. NFTs exist as well, but only 30% of game assets are NFTs. Another thing to note is that the NFTs are not just cosmetic collectibles, they add or boost your farms output when you add them to your game inventory. The balanced game economy is our strategy for sustainability, much like the real world, just that even better. Cryptodiffer Community
I won in your AMA last 2019 (my first AMA win) which Play to earn is still not famous
as far as I remember your Concept is like FarmVille
Is your plan about Metaverse also like FarmVille concept?
I also remember that you build in TRON
What Blockchain are you build right now?
Sandeep Kumar
1) what we are building is virtual Economy. Although it feels like farmville, the real game is economy here. For any economy the basics comes from food, that the reason why our first layer of economy deals with farming.
2) We are migrating to eth, later we have plan to add a bridge to bsc & polygon.

CropBytes was launched in 2018. Can you tell us some of the ways it has created value for gamers since its inception? What achievements have been made so far? And why was it built around gaming? Sandeep Kumar
1) The game assets in cropbytes are not just collectables, each & every asset in the game is contributing for the growth of game economy & at the same time it is giving passive returns to the users. You can see the cropbytes in game market place, cropbytes.com/exchange it shows what value we have created to our in game assets since 2018.
2) The biggest achievement for us is, earning trust from our users.
We just not only built the amazing game but an awesome community too.
Cryptodiffer Community
๐Do you have language support as players from all over the world will participate? Do you also support regional languages โโfor players? After completing a title, can players sell their assets or use them in the next game?
Sheryl Varghese
Right from the start we have a very global community of players, from south-east asia to latin america. And we have many regional communites as well, including, Vietnam, Indonesia, Phillipines, India, China, Japan, Spanish and more. We also have localised playstore and appstore pages for a few languages and will be adding more post IEO. We are now, working towards localising the game for our global audience and this should be completed as a project in the next quarter. Cryptodiffer Community
