Nyan Heroes is an NFT game built on the Solana blockchain, that is part of the ‘play to earn’ metaverse. The project’s goal is to deliver a high quality gaming experience that also supports the player centric ecosystem via a robust tokenomic structure. Earning incentives should drive a player’s desire to play a certain game, but the team firmly believes that it should not be the only incentive.

In Nyan Heroes, players will be able to collect Nyans (Cats) and their Guardian Robots as NFTs. Players will then use their heroes to battle other players in a shooter style action game. By simply playing the game, players will automatically participate in the player based economy by collecting tokens as rewards for completing tasks, winning battles, and progressing in adventure mode. Players will be also able to mint more Nyans, clone their Guardian Robots, collect rare and unique weapons and skins, and trade all of these as NFTs in the marketplace.

$NYN is a multifunctional governance token which will be allocated during private and public sales, with certain proportions set out for the core team, for staking rewards and for the community treasury. There will be a portion of $NYN that can be earned by players as part of playing the game, and $NYN will also be pivotal in performing various marketplace transactions for NFT trades.

$CTNP (Catnip) is an in-game utility token that van be earned by players as they play the game. These tokens will be used in-game to level up characters and weapons, craft items and modify land plots.

Play-to-earn game Nyan Heroes raised $7.5 million in a strategic round to fund game development. The Singapore-based company will use the money to hire more people and for community outreach. The investment values the company at $100 million. Investors included venture capital firms Kosmos Ventures, Sino Global Capital, Shima Capital and Petrock Capital. The company raised $2.5 million in a seed round led by Three Arrows Capital, Mechanism Capital, and Defiance Capital in late 2021.
