Among the many applications of blockchain technology, some teams are discovering its social dimension. The combination of blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the Metaverse The Sandbox is attracting a lot of developers.
Today we will look into the Boku No Babes project, a new initiative aiming to exploit blockchain’s social perks. We will focus on its key aspects; those wishing to receive updates from the team can visit their social channels.
About Boku No Babes
The Boku No Babes initiative aspires to provide users with the possibility to see their NFTs being animated in the metaverse. The general idea of the team is to let anyone interact with their digital partner online.
The whole project will take place, in the first instance, in the form of a 2D NFT. Later, the team will launch “3D Babes”, and holders in the Metaverse will be able to enhance their social experience.
The following subsections will help us understand some of the main aspects of this new social initiative.
The Team’s Vision
In Japan, the term nijikon refers to a particular affective perception of two-dimensional anime characters. Nijikon highlights the apparently enhanced attractiveness of these characters compared to real-world people.
The team began its work on this concept and decided to bring it back from the 1980s to the modern era. The merge of the concept of nijikon and the decentralized blockchain technology resulted in Boku No Babes.
The Minting Phases
The NFT minting process will happen in two phases. The first one, labeled “Sedai0”, will feature:
Moekko, with common scarcity (50%)
Kuudere, with semi-rare scarcity (30%)
Dandere, with special scarcity (15%)
Yandere, with ultra-rare scarcity (5%)
During the limitless minting phase, users will receive rewards as $WETH. Furthermore, almost half (45%) of the minting liquidity will go into a redistribution vault.
The second phase (or “Sedai1”) will follow a similar mechanism, beginning ten days after the first one.
The Vault Club
The social core of the project will be “The Club,” with a corresponding liquidity vault. As already mentioned, the initial role of the vault will be receiving a part of the NFT minting liquidity.
Users will be able to stake their NFTs at the club, benefiting from receiving a $WETH passive income. Each NFT will bring a different benefit to the community, with the following distinction:
Score 1: NFTs with common scarcity
Score 2: NFTs with semi-rare scarcity
Score 3: NFTs with rare scarcity
Score 4: NFTs with ultra-rare scarcity
As one may guess, the higher the score of the NFT, the larger the reward of the system. The team promises that Boku No Babes will not limit the amount of NFTs that anyone can stake.
At the moment when all the The Sandbox universe will be accessible as well as the mansion, The Club will reach its second phase.
The Tokenomics of the Project
The overall liquidity of the project will adhere to a pre-determine subdivision. The following subsections will provide more information on the matter.
To be noted : 50% of all secondary market sales on Opensea as well as all Metaverse events tickets sales will be added back to the Vault system, the idea is to create a self-sufficient vault system.
Vault – 45% of the Funds
The community will be able to use the vault by staking their NFTs. The project’s tokenomics will continuously feed the vault thanks to transaction taxes.
The team aims to keep the vault fully operational at all times and distribute passive income to holders.
The vault will allow us to present a preview of the final experience which consists of The Sandbox mansion, where a portion of the revenue generated will be redistributed to the vault.
Team – 26% of the Funds
The team will keep 26% of the project’s funds, a typical choice in most blockchain projects.
Build – 23% of the Funds
This part of the project will allow the team to launch the Mansion part of the project. We will provide more details on the matter in the dedicated section, but, for now, let us mention the following:
Mansion building
Mansion modules
Evolution within the Mansion
Evolution from 2D to 3D NFTs
Voxel Art NFTs
Going beyond the Mansion component of the initiative, the team will use these funds for other future developments.
Marketing – 6% of the Funds
Each new project needs a marketing strategy to penetrate the market. Its aims are reaching a greater number of individuals and developing a community.
The team anticipates using partnerships and agreements with influencers as their primary marketing means.
Understanding the Mansion System
The Sandbox metaverse Babes mansion
The team has a virtual mansion that anyone can find on OpenSea. This concept will let users join digital games, spending time with their NFT girlfriends.
Furthermore, the project will feature several special events that should improve the engagement experience of the community.
The team will also put up for sale 500 rooms in the mansion. Each room owner can decide to rent the property to other users. Finally, each NFT will have an artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to improve the user experience.
Final Thoughts
Boku No Babes enters the market as a new way to exploit blockchain technology. The industry keeps an eye on all the new initiatives that bring NFTs and the Metaverse together.
It will be interesting to see the team’s future steps and the growth of the Boku No Babes community. In the meantime, we remind the readers that the project has an official website and several social pages.
First Swedish company to join WEMIX PLAY global blockchain gaming platform
New RPG games feature innovative blockchain-based elements VoYd Tokens, VoYd Heart and VoYd Soul
Fully inter-operable: VoYd Tokens and NFTs earned can be used across all current and future games built on MYSTiC GAMES’ Catalyst platform
Leading global game developer Wemade has signed an onboarding agreement with MYSTiC GAMES, the first Swedish game studio to onboard games to WEMIX PLAY, the world’s biggest blockchain gaming platform.

“Call of the VoYd” is a free-to-play, mobile-first cross-platform top-down ARPG Roguelite game with auto-aim precision. As players progress through the game, they collect various characters and items, each with its unique set of skills and abilities.
“Heroes of the VoYd” is an easy-to-play idle RPG that combines simple effective core gameplay with strategic decision-making. Players must fight against monsters to unearth new heroes and unique weapons.
They can trade, sell, or use these in-game items inside and outside the game to customize their characters. These items will also be transferable between players, and can be spent in-game as well as staked and sold.
VoYd Tokens, Voyd Heart, Voyd Soul
VoYd tokens and NFTs will be shared across future games with the tokens playing a crucial role in “Heroes of the VoYd”. Serving as an in-game currency, players can utilize tokens for various purposes, but the primary focus is on using tokens to level up their Heroes.
The games feature innovative blockchain elements like the prestigious VoYd Heart and VoYd Soul which offer a range of benefits including the ability to safeguard gameplay progress by saving levels, and unlock additional game content like heroes and chests. VoYd Souls will also include an increased role in the MYSTiC DAO that will manage the entire gaming ecosystem.

Saitama, an esteemed pioneer in the Web 3.0 domain, has made an exciting announcement regarding its latest creation, SaitaChain. This revolutionary Layer 0 blockchain has the potential to reshape the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape by offering exceptional transaction speeds and competitive fee structures. SaitaChain stands as a testament to Saitama’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology and fostering innovation.
SaitaChain is not simply an incremental improvement on existing technology; it represents a fundamental shift in blockchain architecture. By leveraging advanced sharding techniques, this Layer 0 blockchain addresses the pressing challenges faced by Layer 1 counterparts, such as congestion and exorbitant gas fees. The launch of the alpha testnet this month signifies a strategic leap forward, providing developers and users alike with a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly environment.
The SaitaChain Roadmap – A detailed glimpse into the future.
At the heart of the SaitaChain ecosystem lies the Saitama Token, a versatile cryptocurrency that plays a pivotal role in facilitating transactions and fueling gas fees. The integration of the Saitama Token within SaitaChain emphasizes Saitama‘s vision of a decentralized financial system that prioritizes efficiency and affordability.
In conjunction with the introduction of SaitaChain, Saitama has also revealed the operational launch of XBridge, an innovative blockchain bridge connecting the Ethereum (ERC) blockchain with the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Released on October 23, 2023, XBridge is an impressive technological feat that unlocks unparalleled interoperability and flexibility in the realm of DeFi. Users can now seamlessly transfer assets between these blockchains, gaining enhanced market access and increased liquidity options.
Saitama‘s commitment to making DeFi accessible to everyone is evident in their suite of products. The Saitama Token, the SaitaPro app, and the SaitaCard are all part of a cohesive strategy to demystify and mainstream DeFi. The SaitaCard, in particular, stands out with its global ATM access, diverse payment options, and seamless integration with the SaitaPro app, all without the burden of monthly fees.
SaitaPro, a non-custodial wallet that supports multiple blockchains, offers a secure and intuitive platform for asset management. Its collaboration with ePayme enhances the user experience by simplifying the purchase of cryptocurrencies.
Saitama’s expansion into logistics with SaitaLogistics, in partnership with ePayme, exemplifies their innovative use of blockchain technology in practical, real-world applications. This peer-to-peer logistics system facilitates secure cryptocurrency transactions, streamlining the shipping process on a global scale.
SaitaChain serves as the cornerstone of Saitama’s expanding ecosystem, which includes SaitaSwap, an innovative multi-chain decentralized swap platform designed to cater to cryptocurrency investors with secure token trading capabilities.
In reality, SaitaChain is much more than just a blockchain; it serves as a strong foundation for constructing a more integrated, inclusive, and efficient blockchain ecosystem. Saitama‘s pioneering work in Layer 0 technology is helping to chart a path for the future of DeFi, setting the standard for future evolutions of the blockchain landscape.
As Saitama continues its leadership role in advancing blockchain technology, SaitaChain will play a crucial role in supporting a more secure, streamlined, and accessible financial system. Saitama’s vision of a decentralized financial future depends on their innovation and execution, and their continued dedication to progress will help create a more decentralized, efficient, and equitable financial world.
