This has been a long time coming.
It was September 2022, shortly after getting back from AxieCon in Barcelona, when I decided to start writing the first version of the Tribally whitepaper. I took my laptop on a family holiday and every night when my wife went to sleep, I would stay up for hours working on my grand thesis. She was delighted, as you can imagine.
Roll forward 18 months, 3 full re-writes and 8 rounds of iteration later, and on 11th March 2024 we released Triballyβs whitepaper to the public. Despite all those revisions, our core long-term vision has remained the same - create the most welcoming and rewarding gaming community the world has ever seen.
From the very beginning of our journey in web3 gaming, the Tribally team have always been a little turned off by some of the crude NFT and token launches which have been used as hollow fundraises for a project which has nothing but a whitepaper to show. We wanted to be different.
We wanted to launch the live product before launching the whitepaper.
The Tribally social platform went live in November 2023
We wanted to prove some product market fit before introducing tokens.
We have 25,000 users in our first 3 months, with no paid activations or token incentives
We wanted our token to be utility-first, and a financial instrument second.
We are introducing a full earning/spending loop of Totems on-platform before TGE
$TRIBAL is not just another pump and dump crypto project. There is no single-sided staking mechanism to over-inflate the price and ultimately devalue the token. $TRIBAL is a vehicle to allow value to be transferred between those who want the attention of gamers (games and brands) and those who wish to provide that attention (gamers). We want the value of our ecosystem to be driven by an increasing network effect.
There are three key reasons to be bullish on our plans over the next 6 months:
Web3 gaming is the perfect environment for a social-fi platform to thrive
Tribally have a 3-year track record of delivering AAA web products for web3 games
Through $TRIBAL, holders can share in the value of a growing ecosystem
Weβre immensely proud to be sharing our full vision with our friends in the community we love so much. Having to keep people like Rare and TQ from leaking our plans for all this time has been difficult (they are very excitable) so itβs a huge relief to be able to let them loose!
A huge thank you to my colleagues at Tribally, who have all put in an extraordinary amount of work over the past few years in order for us to reach this point. And an even bigger thank you to the amazing people in the web3 gaming community who have supported us on our journey so far. We hope you are as excited by our plans as we are!
- Best
