New battle pass is live!
Congratulations to @alexlin and his team for an incredibly successful launch.
See you in Token2049 🙇♂️ – at Kyoto-shi Minami-ku, Kyoto

we’re excited to reintroduce @valhalla’s battle pass!
we redesigned the mechanics of the battle pass from the ground up, simplified its mechanics, and shipped it in ~3 weeks!
TLDR
our new battle pass is now more akin to what you’d expect from the NFT majors.
⟡ points are now bound to the avatar.
⟡ avatars can earn daily streaks that add a multiplier to their point emissions.
⟡ holding multiple avatars adds an additional points multiplier to the entire team.
⟡ selling or listing your avatar stops points emissions and resets your streak counter.

⟡ other considerations
what is the battle pass?
the battle pass is a simple loyalty program for the valhalla community. holders can earn points for holding their avatars and redeem them for upcoming ecosystem rewards.
why do we need a new battle pass?
I covered this in a prior post here: xitter.cf/notalexlin/status/1795…
TLDR: in our prior iteration, we allowed holders to mint their rewards because we believed it embodied digital ownership (and thus the spirit of crypto). in retrospect, the experiment was not a net benefit for our holders; the portability of rewards removed the incentive/lock-in for users to hold after they minted their crates.
because of this, we decided to redesign our battle pass and model it after other projects that have successfully implemented something similar.
as a reminder, all season 1 rewards (crates) will still be honored.
why now?
over the next few weeks, we’re going to start rolling out crypto-based features and rewards on @joinstacked (and more 🤠)!
before doing so, we wanted to ensure our community’s interests were heard and accounted for. because of this, it was imperative that we re-enable the battle pass before announcing anything else.
how do I earn points?
stake your avatars to earn points on a daily basis. each avatar’s point emission is determined by its type.
original types
⟡ human - 10/day
⟡ toxic - 20/day
⟡ mech - 20/day
⟡ eternal - 50/day
⟡ demon - 50/day
community types
our community has also designated the following traits valuable, thus warranting the following point emissions:
⟡ balaclava - 40/day
⟡ dark mech - 60/day
avatars can receive bonus yield in the following ways:
daily streaks
⟡ 15 days - 25% boost
⟡ 30 days - 50% boost
⟡ 45 days - 75% boost
⟡ 60 days - 100% boost
reminder: selling or listing your avatar will immediately reset its streak.
team bonus
⟡ 3 avatars - 15% boost
⟡ 5 avatars - 50% boost
⟡ 10 avatars - 75% boost
⟡ 25+ avatars - 150% boost
other considerations
we spoke extensively with several members of our community about how comprehensive we should make reward emissions.
⟡ should point emissions vary based on rarity?
⟡ should every trait have a different emission rate?
⟡ should we take season 1 rankings into account?
⟡ should we reward people who held through the fud?
ultimately, we decided to keep the structure simple because the reality is that we’ve hit rock bottom, and our community just isn’t that big anymore; fewer people will be fighting over our points, thus automatically yielding a greater piece of the pie.
the greatest advantage is staking early.
if you’re a prospective holder, this is a great time to consider joining our community as well. we’re rebuilding our community’s culture from the ground up, and you have the opportunity to write the next chapter of our project’s story with us.
I am in our discord daily, so feel free to ask me (you can @ me) or any of our community members if you have any questions.
thanks for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to updating everyone on what we’ve been working on over the past year!

this week, we had a constructive call with the @valhalla community on discord regarding the mechanics of our upcoming battle pass.
we identified three important objectives:
1. establishing a clear alignment between the community and the core team while quantifying upcoming rewards.
2. learning from past mistakes and adjusting rewards based on rarity, including those deemed rare by the community, such as dark mechs and balaclavas.
3. providing bonus rewards for holders who endured difficult times, likely through a snapshot.
we recognize that simply implementing the battle pass is not enough to reignite interest in the project.
we’ll need to demonstrate meaningful progress in the products we’ve been building (@joinstacked) and ensure they meet user needs.
this will be measured by metrics such as monthly user growth, TVL, and on-chain transactions over the next few months.
we also acknowledge the significant challenges we face.
NFTs are currently in a bear market, and there’s a considerable opportunity cost in joining our community when there are potential 100x meme coin opportunities.
either way, we believe the new battle pass is a foundational piece of “community infrastructure” that creates long-term alignment between holders and the core team.
@owen_roe is currently designing v1 of the battle pass, and we’ll be sharing the designs in discord for the community's review before implementation.
we expect the new battle pass to roll out by the end of the month, and we’ll be sure to remind everyone to activate it.
thanks for reading!

hello! here are some recent developments re: @valhalla.
–
new battle pass - we’ve expedited our timeline for building on-chain products that will yield rewards for our community.
based on community feedback, we’ll also be completely redesigning and engineering our battle pass from the ground up.
in our prior iteration, we allowed holders to mint their rewards because we believed it embodied digital ownership (and thus the spirit of crypto). in retrospect, the experiment was not a net benefit for our holders; portability of rewards removed the incentive/lock-in for users to hold after they minted their crates.
because of this, we’ve studied the NFT majors that have successfully implemented something similar, and we’ll use their structure as a foundation.
we realize that the lack of clarity around crates was also a negative contributing factor. originally, the crates were supposed to drop materials that could be combined to create a second collection. unfortunately, given market conditions and our position at the time, we ultimately determined we didn’t have the market interest to successfully support a second collection.
with that said, all season 1 rewards will still be honored and rolled into season 2.
in terms of timeline, I estimate we’re 4 weeks out before we release. we will be actively sharing preliminary mechanics/designs in our discord if you’d like to contribute to the feature.
thanks to @0xlang_ and @jackkk for bumping this for me.
–
keyboard - yes, the keyboard is massively delayed but it’s still in the works and will be delivered.
the tl;dr is that our boards have been stuck in queue for 2 months at the anodizer (prevents the metal from rusting). our manufacturing partners have incredibly high quality standards, so it’s been tough trying to make compromises in quality in exchange for speed.
the keyboard is likely still 2 months away, but given our delays, I’m hesitant to commit to a date because our team does not have a direct ability to expedite the process.
once complete, we intend to give away a significant portion of the keyboards to our community for free.
the team and I remain excited about getting the boards into the hands of our community, and we’ll discuss how the lottery will take place (taking into account type, quantity held, etc).
–
I appreciate the patience our holders have shown to me and the team.
I remain excited about the products that we’re about to release in Q3/Q4, and we’ll be sure to post updates that are more frequent and concise than this one.
I’ll follow up soon with more clarity around how the community and core team are thinking about rewards re: stacked.
we welcome you to join the Discord and contribute to the conversation anytime.
thanks for reading.
