Another week, another NFT mint (or two)! In this particular case, we’re talking about the upcoming mint for Kepler Citizenship Passport NFTs, a founder type NFT for the MMO, sci-fi shooter, Earth from Another Sun.

A new mint is coming on May 10th for an epic, sci-fi, MMO / FPS known as Earth From Another Sun. This mint is for Kepler Citizenship Passport NFTs. Collection size of 1,000 and a price of 2 SOL each.

These limited edition Passports offer a number of benefits. This includes future NFT airdrops, early access to alpha and beta tests, bonuses to contribution points, whitelists for future mints, and entry into exclusive events!

The mint opens on May 10th, 2024 at 6am UTC on Magic Eden. The guaranteed whitelist phase runs for 6 hours, followed by 5 hours for the FCFS (first come first served) whitelist, and then a public sale if any NFTs remain available.

It’s too late to earn a whitelist spot, but you can still sign up at https://citizenship.efas.io to see your status and prep your account for season two missions, which will lead into an upcoming airdrop. These missions are social based — inviting friends, participating on Discord, etc. It seems like the Earth From Another Sun team plans on using this same system moving forward, so if you are interested in this game, it doesn’t hurt to sign up!

What is Earth From Another Sun?

Earth From Another Sun is an open-world style, sci-fi, MMO that sees players navigating the stars, and engaging enemies on planets while commanding their own personal army!

Players roam the galaxy, battle hostile enemies, both human and non-human, complete quests, and bolster their army with new weapons, vehicles, and mechs. But this isn’t just a static universe. Every battle and quest completed will have some sort of effect on the galaxy. Even if these effects are minor, as more players play and engage with the system, the game may change based on these interactions.

Earth From Another Sun offers solo play as well as cooperative play throughout the game with groups of up to four players. They also plan to release 10-person raid-type events.

The game is in alpha testing. Currently only PvE mode is available, though the team plans to add some sort of PvP gameplay in the future. You can gain access to the alpha by owning a Passport (mint coming soon) or a Companion NFT (current floor price ~0.2 SOL)

Earth From Another Sun wants to be an ever-growing universe, and hopes to realize this goal by implementing the ability for players to create custom content such as quests, NPCs, and even custom planets!

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.
