Sky-Portal

Sky Portal

Inspiration: It all started with the idea of building a community token for CELO, which will be used to rewards the community, onboard more people onto CELO. But we choose DONUT, and that period we just had Donut Hard fork. We were told by the team that we cannot use that name.

So, we went back to ideas fast and brainstorming. After several days we decided we want to build a mobile gaming platform on CELO and for the community since there was not any yet. Also, we decided to build something unique.

LAPIS was birthed and later changed to Sky Portal - a blockchain game where people can craft, play and collect NFT. Also, a multiplayer NFT game on CELO let players earn $LAPIS by playing the game.

What it does: Gaming - Play to earn, build weapons, fight, win and collect rewards from daily pools. Multiplayer game, special NFTs that will serve as weapons etc.

How we built it: we employ freelancers, build the token, farming contract and the game ourselves.

Challenges we ran into: Insufficient funds, Low expertise, Unwilling team members, Arguments, Team member leaving, Ubeswap closing our Farming pools (which drain our liquidity pool and make the community members to lose trust in us), No mentorship etc.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: Token Contract Launch and Deployment, Farming and Staking Launch, Website Launch, Beta Game (already available for testing by the community and cLabs team)

What we learned: endurance, keep pushing and working even if there is no money, support etc.

What's next for Sky-Portal: building the game and bringing in more game developers, NFT marketplace, improving the UI/UX of our staking platform, pTickets, marketing etc.

We love to build a gaming platform on CELO, and we super determined about it. We need support from the team, and help too such as mentorships, recommendations etc
