IOTA Heroes are coming home!
Published:
TL;DR: Ensure your IOTA Heroes tokens (Gold, Heroes, Game Items) are in a wallet you control and not in smart contracts like liquidity pools or marketplaces. THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE THE SNAPSHOT ON JULY 8th AT 18:00 CET.
We're moving to IOTA EVM!
Over the past eight months, our heroes have been spreading their wings on ShimmerEVM, battling monsters and hoarding loot. But the name of the game is IOTA Heroes, and it feels almost prophetic that we can finally settle down on IOTA EVM. Moving can, of course, be stressful, but we're here to guide you on how to pack your bags and prepare for new adventures!
What should i do to prepare for the migration?
First, you can mark 8th of July 2024 at 18:00 CET in your calendar. That is the time of the token snapshot! We will go through the three different types of tokens below.
⏰ Snapshot Date: 8th of July 2024 18:00 CET
Gold
Precious gold!
Please make sure to withdraw your gold tokens from any DeFi pools or marketplaces where you have allocated them. Many people have been providing liquidity on various DEXes, with the largest pool being on MagicSea. As of now, approximately 2.5 million gold tokens are locked in the SMR/IHG liquidity pool. Since we can't easily determine ownership of the gold tokens, you need to withdraw them to a wallet you control. This must be done before the snapshot date; otherwise, your gold will not transfer to IOTA EVM! Additionally, cancel any open trades on the Trading Post to ensure your gold is securely in your own wallet.
Heroes
A squad of IOTA Heroes.
This step is easy: as long as you have the hero in your wallet, it will be migrated. It's fine to have open adventure contracts, and it's also okay if it's listed for sale. As long as the hero is in your wallet, you're good to go!
Game Items
A selection of IOTA Heroes items
Of course, we need to bring along all the cool items you've been gathering! Just make sure your items are in your own wallet and not in a smart contract. Cancel any open trades on the Trading Post and retrieve your items from any other smart contracts you might have sent them to.
When can I start playing on IOTA EVM
After the snapshot is complete, there will be a period where the game is offline as we migrate to IOTA EVM. For the migration, we need to:
Airdrop all your tokens and ensure everything went smoothly.
Revise, test, and deploy our smart contracts.
Set up indexing for new contracts on IOTA EVM.
We are already actively working on all three areas, supported by a grant from IOTA Grants specifically for this purpose. Rest assured, we're committed to bringing the game back online as quickly as possible. Your patience during this process is greatly appreciated as we strive to ensure a smooth transition.
What's Next?
We have a great opportunity to make some changes to our smart contracts as we redeploy them on IOTA EVM. There's no better time to make your voice heard and suggest changes to our game mechanics. Over the past several months, we have collected feedback on Discord and will be working to improve the experience wherever we can.
We have a bunch of smaller changes and fixes, along with major updates such as The Hatchery to finally crack those eggs. Additionally, we are introducing the first major PvP system, which has been designed and now needs to be implemented. You will hear more about this as we get closer to launching it. Finally, we have been making changes to the combat engine, which might lead to more interesting adventures.
We are incredibly excited to see all our players on the new IOTA EVM! This migration marks a new chapter in the IOTA Heroes saga, and we can't wait to embark on this journey together. Get ready for new adventures, epic battles, and endless fun. Thank you for being part of our community, and we'll see you on IOTA EVM!
