Another NFT mint is upon us. This one is from Paradise Tycoon and gives users a chance to mint a Gold Pass NFT, which will act as a premium battle pass for the game and provide other benefits, potentially including future token or NFT airdrops!

Free mint? That’s right! The mint for the Paradise Tycoon Gold Pass will be completely free. In fact, since the mint is taking place on the Immutable zkEVM network, there won’t even be a gas fee!

If you don’t already have the Immutable zkEVM network setup in you wallet, you can read the official instructions for setting that up here.

However, you will need to be on the whitelist for this Gold Pass mint. And unfortunately, opportunities to grab a whitelist spot have already come and gone. You can check your whitelist status at https://dashboard.paradisetycoon.com/

The guaranteed whitelist round starts at 1pm UTC on May 3rd, with the Waitlist round starting at 4pm UTC that same day. Only 1500 passes are up for grabs, and the waitlist round operates on a first come first served basis. So I expect all of these passes to be all minted pretty soon after 4pm!

What is the Paradise Pass Gold NFT?

The Paradise Pass Gold FT is Paradise Tycoon’s equivalent of a premium battle pass. Players can earn MOANI tokens and other rewards by completing daily and weekly tasks, and by just holding onto the NFT.

Pass holders will also have exclusive access to the multiplayer portion of the game during beta. Invite friends to your island and impress them with your decoration skills!

Additionally, Paradise Tycoon plans to start their play to airdrop campaign for MOANI tokens soon, and owning a Paradise Pass will offer more opportunities for rewards!

Supposedly players will be able to trade these Passes on Sphere (https://sphere.market/). A direct link will be released after the mint.

What is Paradise Tycoon?

Currently in open beta, Paradise Tycoon is a farming / building game along the lines of Stardew Valley. In this case, the player has won a lottery granting them a tropical island of their own. Only catch? It’s covered with weeds and a bit worn down. The player is tasked with cleaning up their island, fixing up the buildings, crafting items, completing quests, and decorating to their heart’s content!

Players will be able to trade in-game resources, as well as NFTs for crafted items and blueprints. Paradise Tycoon is currently in beta and free to play. Though there are already NFTs available on secondary markets, Paradise Tycoon is moving from Avalanche to Immutable, so you may want to check up on NFT migrations before you make any purchases.

Paradise Tycoon is available to play as an Android app or through a browser.

These days, token airdrops and play to earn events seem to arrive on a near daily basis. Even the distribution platforms are getting in on the action as Elixir Games launches their own play and earn event across the platform and with numerous partner games!

Here’s another chance to earn some prizes by playing web3 games. This event comes from Elixir Games, in partnership with numerous games on their platform including Katana Inu, Chronos Worlds, and One Tap, just to name a few. And Elixir is going big with an inaugural season event offering over $1M in prizes to participants!

The Elixir Season Pass opened on April 19th and runs through June 3rd. Players will have the opportunity to complete daily tasks, some of which involve interacting with the game platform (such as writing a review), others with playing certain games.

And while the general quests and social quests are mostly quick to complete, the game quests do require you to play the game a bit to get good enough to meet the requirements. Leaderboard rewards will be distributed to the top 20,000 players.

Elixir is also holding a free mint on April 25th, for Elixir NFTs. Holders can then burn their NFT for a spin on the prize wheel. Or they can hold onto the Elixirs for potential future benefits

More about the Elixir Season Pass

There are a limited number of quests available each day, so you will need to check back daily to earn maximum points. Participants can join and check their current status at https://store.elixir.games/rewards.

Players earn tickets as they level up their Elixir Season Pass. Use these tickets to enter various giveaways on the Elixir platform. In addition, each of the game partners for this event will hold their own game tournament, all with significant prizes as well!

This Season Pass event should work as a great catalyst for getting players onto the Elixir platform, and exposing them to a variety of different games. I just today played three games I had never heard of before so I could grab some quest points. And I’ll probably do the same thing tomorrow!

Participating in the Elixir Season Pass event is free. Just sign up for an Elixir account and get started!

You can read more about this event on the official Medium post.
