MixMob (MXM): Building a Web3 Gaming Empire on Solana

The Solana blockchain provides a next-level frontier for DApp development due to its fast, secure and user-friendly technological architecture. As such, many DApp projects are leveraging Solana to efficiently create smart contracts used to build innovative and dynamic web3 products. 

One such project is MixMob, a gaming platform that blends culture to offer a lifestyle brand combined with a card strategy racing game for players aiming to influence others.

Let's learn more about MixMob and its unique gaming mechanics.

Key Takeaways:

• MixMob is a play-to-earn gaming platform on Solanaa and features the first card racing game powered by Solana, Racer 1. Players get to create and own game assets in its thrilling game universe.

• Two tokens power the gaming platform: MXM, the native governance token, and SUD$, the in-game currency used for participating in Turbo Arenas and to incentivize players.

• MXM can be bought on Bybit as a Spot pair (MXM/USDT).

What Is MixMob?

MixMob is a play-to-earn web3 gaming platform on Solana. It focuses on user-generated content in which the players own power over their creativity, skills and assets in the game. MixMob’s gaming world is a fusion of culture that remixes music, fashion and movies, allowing gamers to seamlessly merge their gameplay and lifestyle. It features the world’s first card strategy racing game, Racer 1.

Built by a team of gaming veterans, MixMob promises players thrilling gameplay mechanics powered by an open economy, which starts with creating a unique avatar that you can empower in the virtual and real worlds.

Headed by co-founder and CEO Simon Vieira, the veteran gaming developers running MixMob have worked with FIFA, PokerStars, Microsoft and Halo, among other notable brands. The game’s partners include Solana, Microsoft, LEGO, Virgin Unite and Xbox.

MixMob’s gaming economy revolves around MixBots and Racers, and is powered by a dual token system consisting of MXM and SUD$ tokens. The two tokens play a crucial role in fostering MixMob’s community, which is the backbone of the project’s vision.

MixMob GamePlay

The story behindMixMob is based on the possibility of AI deleting our culture, whereupon humanity has to start over and gather/rescue what little is left. The MixMob community is like a resistance force fighting AI to retain our culture. The team has issued 5,000 anonymous Gen0 Masks which players use to create unique identities in the game.

Each MixMob Raider is a human-sized avatar that can flex its master skills to win battles against the master AI that’s robbed humanity of its culture. Raiders can remix their styles if they own a mutable Gen0 Mask.

MixMob’s gameplay is based on an open economy that consists of play-to-earn gaming mechanics. Its game loop is structured as follows:

• Style – Avatars are a large component of MixMob. You can create, customize and remix your unique avatar, MixMob Raider, and use it for various interactions in the Racer 1 game.

• Battle – Use your MixMob Raider to enter battle arenas, where you'll need skill and agility to succeed in the car racing game.

• Remix — Since the game is heavy on NFT culture, its community is incentivized through rewards that come as either influence points, in-game currency or NFT cosmetics.

Racer 1

Racer 1 is the flagship product of MixMob’s card strategy gaming. The game combines the thrilling type of racing in Mario Kart™ with the card strategy in a game like Clash Royale, resulting in a fast-paced, fun and rewarding gaming experience.

Since Racer 1 is powered by Solana, you’ll need a Solana-based web3 wallet (e.g., Phantom wallet), which you’ll load with SUD$ tokens used to pay the entry fees into the arenas. Once inside, you’ll get an Alpha MixBot that you can use to race in the Turbo Arenas and win rewards.

MixMob NFTs

MixMob features NFTs of varying rarities to power its user-generated content economy. Players can create, collect and redeem these NFTs in-game.

MixBots

Raiders need MixBots to participate in the Racer 1 game. These customizable, robotic in-game items come in two types: Mutant (animal-based) and Mecha (mechanical-based). The robots are the main weapons used in arena battles. You can train your MixBot to fight, win its trust in the game and earn attractive prizes in tournaments.

To obtain a MixBot, you’ll need to purchase an MXM package that consists of a capsule (resting place for the bot), a Base Unit Bot (B.U.B), and a cartridge that gives your bot its personality.

Card Decks

Your Card Decks are vital in unleashing the power of your MixBots in the game. There are three card types: Offensive, Defensive and Remix. To win in Racer 1, you’ll need to master your deck and that of the opponent.

You can use Card Decks to tweak your MixBot's appearance and capabilities in order to enhance its performance. MixMob has three decks available: Alpha, Styler and Tek Decks. The Alpha Deck is designed for beginners, and features straightforward cards; the Styler Deck helps boost your strategic capabilities; and the Tek Deck elevates your technological prowess.

Gen0 Mask

Gen0 Mask is a mutable NFT that will evolve over time, and serves as your unique identity in the game. Each Gen0 mask is a remix of unique attributes, such as sketches, stickers, pop culture, 2D and 3D features, music and more. A total of 5,000 Gen0 Mask NFTs are categorized according to four traits: Common/Uncommon, Rare, Legendary and Mythic. 

What’s unique about a Gen0 Mask NFT is that you can add or remove undesirable traits from it (since it’s mutable). With a Gen0 mask, you’ll gain privileges such as exclusive priority access to games and tournaments, the unlocking of exclusive arenas and tracks, and the ability to participate in staking programs.

MixMob Tokens

MixMob operates a dual token system that comprises MXM and SUD$. Let’s take a deeper look at these two tokens.

MXM Token

MXM is the governance and utility token for the MixMob ecosystem. As a holder of this native token, you’ll be able to:

• Earn from MixMob reward pools

The vesting schedule for the tokens is as shown below:

SUD$

Another token in the MixMob ecosystem is SUD$ (formerly called CDX). SUD$ (Subdomain Dollars) are the in-game currency for MixMob. As a unidirectional token, SUD$ can only be used for internal transactions to power Mixmob’s in-game economy. SUD$ can be earned through:

• Winning racer wagers in Racer 1

• Staking SUD$ in a Turbo Arena

• Introducing new players via the referral program

• Owning a Gen0 mask
