Play-to-earn game Cryptosnake has made the decision to move to Discord. Previously, the leading platform for community communication was Telegram. Everyone who joins the Discord server can get a valuable playable character for free.
Cryptosnake.game is an incremental nostalgic game based on a snake from the nineties-noughties. Cryptosnake differs from the classic “Snake” in the presence of different characters with unique characteristics, game artifacts, advanced gameplay, and so on. But the main difference, of course, is in the blockchain mechanics. The Cryptosnake game is implemented on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain using NFT. Thus, a player can earn SNK tokens by collecting gaming pixels and selling them on the cryptocurrency exchange.
Why Move to Discord
The transition to the new messenger will make communication more convenient since Discord is explicitly designed for the gaming communities, and many other gaming projects in the crypto industry also accumulate their audience there.
“Transferring the chat to Discord, in the long run, will contribute to the growth of the number of players and accelerate the influx of players from different countries”, the official Announcements Cryptosnake channel says.
The Telegram messenger really played a big role in the formation of the community. To date, the total number of confirmed users is more than 100 thousand people. You can hardly remember at least one game that would have brought together so many players in the Durov messenger, even outside the crypto industry. This is a bright precedent.
However, Telegram has its drawbacks. For example, it is unpopular in many countries. Thus, a significant part of the community members were residents of countries where Telegram is widely distributed: Russia, Turkey, and so on. Meanwhile, in many countries, including the US and South Korea, Telegram is not as popular, and this slows down the growth of players from new target countries.
Discord is equally popular in many countries and, most importantly, it is popular with the gaming community. The messenger also has other advantages:
- Automatic translation of messages from the original language to the user's language
- Convenient sorting of several channels and chats within one game server
- Ability to conveniently conduct voice chats
- Ability to use multiple helper bots
All this simplifies communication within the gaming community. Not without reason, the largest GameFi projects are based in Discord, such as Axies, The Sandbox, Decentraland and others.
NFT Airdrop for New Members
To motivate the community to move to Discord quickly, the team announced the start of the NFT Airdrop. To participate, you need to:
