Frumps | OIG: Greetings OIG Community! We are excited to bring you another amazing AMA today!
We have Nest Arcade with us today, Play, Earn, Connect. Access To Unlimited P2E x NFT Games All In One Mobile App. Joining us is Tye Howatt (Co-Founder)
Welcome to the OIG Main Stage @metatye! Can you introduce yourself briefly to our community?
Tye: Hi everyone! I’m Tye, one of the co-founders of Nest Arcade. My background is in marketing and product development. A few months ago I have left a previous marketing startup to go full time into crypto and it’s been incredible
Frumps | OIG: It's a real pleasure to have you today and hear all about your amazing project
Tye
Thank you :) happy to answer any questions you have today
Frumps | OIG: Let’s jump straight in!
What is Nest Arcade? How would you describe it?
Tye: Great question
I would describe it as Netflix for P2E Games and NFT collections.
Users can play from a wide variety of casual P2E games all in one place + majority of games will have NFT support
Frumps | OIG:😍 Netflix for P2E Games and NFT collections — — I love this answer, that is a very exciting concept
Tye: Thank you, We think so too 🤩
Frumps | OIG: Can you tell us about the key features of the Nest Arcade platform?
Tye: For sure
In short the top features I would say are:
1️⃣ Stream Unlimited P2E Games from 1 app
2️⃣ Nest Marketplace (Trade Playable NFT collections)
3️⃣ Weekly Bonus Rewards (For activity)
Frumps | OIG: Brilliant! Each of them sounds great, especially the weekly bonus rewards! That will keep players engaged and motivated!
Tye: Definitely the plan 🤝 little incentive to continue playing with Nest
Frumps | OIG: We read that Nest Arcade will be the parent company that hosts a bundle of sub-products. Can you tell us a little about these
Tye: For sure would be happy to touch on this. Some sub-products that Nest will be launching in 2022 are:
1️⃣ Nest marketplace (for NFT collections that are playable in Nest Arcade) — play after collecting
2️⃣ Nest Hub (Launchpad for NFT collections + Games) + bring web 2 games into web3
3️⃣ Nest Tournaments (Tournaments + Streaming + competition)
Frumps | OIG: Wow! This is an extensive product list. That's incredible to hear, there is so much happening! 2022 is going to be a HUGE year for you guys
Tye: Yes, very exciting things coming for 2022 🔥🥂
Frumps | OIG: Can you tell us about some of the mini-games you have coming out?
Tye: Of course, I’ll list a few notable ones
few notable games currently in development are
MetaBirds (flappy bird style game w/ NFTS) — demo end of this month 👀
Crossy Road Style Game (W/ New Nest NFT collection)
2048 Style Puzzle Game
Doodle Jump Style Game (W/ NFT Support)
Dune / flappy wings game
Golf ⛳️ w/ NFT collection
Racing game 🏎 (more info soon) — will have a fun 3D car NFT collection
Skate game 🛹 (more info soon) will also come with its own NFT characters + accessories
And others
Frumps | OIG: 🚀 That is an exciting range of games, excellent stuff!
How does the play to earn aspect work? What are the different ways players can earn in Nest Arcade?
Tye: Thank you 🚀🚀🚀
Few ways
Players earn in-game by playing well, collecting $FTH or competing goals in game
+ Players earn weekly platform rewards for activity of the app.
Other ways would be from tournaments and winning multiplayer bouts or races
Frumps | OIG: 💰💰💰There is a good amount of potential income from playing then!
Tye: Will try to add as many as possible 💸
Frumps | OIG Great to hear
Can you tell us a little about your NFTs and their utilities?
Tye: For sure
Nest NFTs and any NFT collection looking to partner with us
Will be playable in 1 or multiple games
Earn you 10X the rewards while playing
+ unlock weekly rewards on the platform
More benefits will come soon
As for now
MetaBirds will get you 1,000 $FTH upon listings + beta access to the app and metabirds game
Frumps | OIG: Wow! Clearly it is of great benefit to own an NFT, especially the MetaBirds one!
Tye: Yessir! Will add more benefits as well in the future but believe it’s a good start 🤝🥂
Frumps | OIG: What is the $FTH token used for?What are the holder benefits?
Tye: In short, the list would be:
💸 Earnings
⚡️ Weekly Rewards
💥 Power ups & in-app purchases
⛳️ Transaction Fees
Frumps | OIG: Again, like the NFTs, clearly there is great benefit in having $FTH!
Tye: Little more in-depth $FTH is essentially Nests in-game and on-platform economy.
Users can use $FTH to purchase power apps, game assets, entry or normal TX fees, purchase power-ups and earn $FTH in game and from weekly rewards. 🙌
Frumps | OIG: So it's truly an integral part of the platform!
Tye: Of course plus it’s tradable which is a plus haha you can sell the in-game currency
Unlike current web2 games
Where you rent their assets and currency — and can never get your money out
Frumps | OIG: A big improvement, this will motivate many and create a good supplementary income for playing and having fun
Tye: Yes! Very big improvement
Frumps | OIG: What is coming up in your roadmap that we should know about?
Tye: Earliest event coming up will be our IDOS across several launchpads.
Date currently January 28–31st before Listing where $FTH is tradable
These dates will be updated on our website under tokenomics
We will also have our game demo for MetaBirds Live end of this month as well! For MetaBird NFT Holders only before public a little later down the line
Frumps | OIG: So there is a great deal happening soon! I recommend our community follow your socials to stay up to date with the great deal of exciting news that will come out
Tye: For sure if they are interested most info is on our Twitter \ TG and website
Frumps | OIG:Well Tye, It's been amazing hearing about Nest Arcade, its now the community chance to ask questions, there was a huge number to choose from, clearly people are very interested.

Twitter Community Questions:
Questions 1)
Tye: Very good
Many rewards for launching with nest — plus the convenience is a big bonus

2. Launch your game on nest (earn % of TX Fees)

Frumps | OIG: Wow, you are going to attract a huge amount of interest from creators and developers!
Tye: We hope so! Plan to be the primary Arcade for P2E the coming years
Question 2)
Tye: I like this
I would say scroll the top 100 games on the AppStore or Google play store — You will see a lot of small games but with great graphics and mini — story lines
Like angry birds or cut the rope etc
That’s the plan with nest — small complete games with incredible visuals and effects + characters will be NFTS 🙌
Frumps | OIG: Very true! Solid plan
Question 3)
Tye: Very qualified we’ve recently have done a large team expansion not all are visual under the team section on the nest arcade site
We have a team of 5+ full stack app developers and engineers
2 blockchain specialists
And 2 in/house game developers with blockchain experience
Our advisors and others around us are also amazing at team management and product development
Plus marketing connections and experience is on point at the moment
Frumps | OIG: You clearly have an eclectic and well-balaced team that can fulfil your vision
Tye: Plus we got OIG 🙌🥂
Frumps | OIG: 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 Love that answer! WE ARE FULLY BEHIND YOU
Tye: Woo! 🚀🚀🚀
Question 4)
Tye: Not sure about the NSN mention but for games
We will launch with 8–10 games developed in house and 2 NFT collections
Including some from the list above.
We are partnering with many NFT collections and games now to host on the platform
Hoping to launch with 50+ to start
We will release new games from Nest every 1–2 months following the release 🏰
Frumps | OIG: 50+ on launch and new games from Nest every 1–2 months- that is amazing to hear, this will keep all gamers happy
Tye: Will be very nice to see it come together!
Question 5)
Tye: Retention is more important than acquisition in business but we will balance both
Tons of cold audience marketing across social platforms for sign ups
And launching many new games, partnerships, tournaments and incentives to continue playing and referring 🚀⚡️
Frumps | OIG: Brilliant answer and with all the things going on for Nest Arcade and the huge number of games, retention and gaining new players will not be an issue!
Tye: Thank you! Yes getting users is easy but requires a great product to retain customers
Especially with a value prop of
Play games earn crypto 😂
Frumps | OIG: very true
