GameFi Project DeFi Land Announces Public Testing Launch for December 22

An agriculture simulation game that won recognition in Solana’s summer hackathon, DeFi Land is pleased to invite GameFi enthusiasts to put the platform through its paces. Following an intensive six-week period of behind-closed-doors testing involving 3,000 verified users, the launch of DeFi Land for public testing is scheduled for December 22 at 4 pm UTC.

By all indications, DeFi Land’s developers are eager to let the public experience all that the ecosystem has to offer with the game’s full launch in Q1 of 2022. The FTX-based gaming project is an all-in-one amalgam of DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and the metaverse. To access DeFi Land, all that’s required is a wallet containing some SOL and the colorful release is open to everyone.

Unveiling DeFi Land

DeFi Land is laser-focused on shipping products and meeting milestones rather than endlessly building hype. Moreover, it is the first game on Solana to conduct a public testing event before its full public launch.

Throughout the public testing, players can complete mini-games to win rewards, farm for yield, trade tokens, fish, and explore the vast, visually rich landscape at their leisure. That is to say, they can get an exact impression of what’s in store come February/March.

Basically, the key to the game is its native DFL token, which will otherwise be used for governance, staking, trading, and NFT crafting. The farm-themed project brings diverse DeFi protocols under a single roof, making it easier for users to manage their portfolio from a single dashboard while having the opportunity to earn extra income in the metaverse.

DeFi Land will not just debut like every other game out there, it recently partnered with decentralized music streaming platformAudius. This means players can listen to the radio station directly while gaming. The sound waves will be beaming from Audius Radio Tower, a 3D fixture recently added to the metaverse, from the time of launch on December 22.

DeFi Land will offer something far more satisfying, not just from a visual and aesthetic perspective but also, in terms of the learning curve — both DeFi newbies and veterans. Instead of the usual process of providing the infrastructure for users to acquire tokens and passively farm, the brain trust at DeFi Land believes the DeFi community wants more. Hence, players who conduct swaps and farm tokens will also get to embark on quests and record achievements, with results and rewards filtering into their portfolios.

The public’s quest for GameFi is indisputable, with half of those connecting crypto wallets in November doing so to play games. It comes as no surprise that Solana Ventures this week pledged to invest $150m in startups building play-to-earn games for its ecosystem. DeFi Land, it would appear, is launching at just the right time. In addition, Gate.io incidentally, supported the recent public sale of DeFi Land’s native DFL token, alongside Raydium and Solanum.

In the future, social elements such as a chat function, play-to-earn (P2E) models, and NFT integrations will be integrated to provide a richer and more interactive experience for players. At the moment, liquidity providers can connect their wallets and get a kick out of the fun gameplay, DeFi mechanisms, and various gamified elements.
