Introducing Horizon's Node Bootstrapping Event

Today marks an exciting milestone in the evolution of blockchain gaming. We're thrilled to announce VEMP Horizon's Node Bootstrapping Event, a pivotal moment that allows you to become a key player in shaping the future of on-chain gaming economies.

The Vision: Empowering Community-Driven Gaming

At VEMP, our commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain-based digital experiences has led us to create Horizon, a specialized blockchain designed to make deploying community-driven game economies effortless. It is targeted at indie and smaller game developers.

The global gaming market is projected to reach $584 billion by 2030, with indie games representing over 20% of market revenue. Horizon aims to catalyze this growth by providing a scalable, cost-effective blockchain environment tailored for on-chain assets and economies.

Horizon Nodes: The Backbone of Our Ecosystem

At the heart of VEMP Horizon lies a distributed network of verifier nodes, which are crucial for maintaining network security and performance. These nodes preserve network robustness and accuracy, verify transactions across community-owned economies, and ensure an uninterrupted, immersive gaming experience. By becoming a node operator, you'll be at the forefront of maintaining and securing Horizon.

The Node Bootstrapping Event: Your Invitation to Participate

Our Node Bootstrapping Event is more than just a technical milestone for mainnet launch—it's your invitation to join a transformative movement in on-chain gaming.

Here's what you need to know:

• Node License Keys: To be eligible for validator rewards, you must acquire a Node License Key. These unique NFTs authenticate verified node operators and are essential to our network security and reward system.

• Limited Supply: Only 20,000 Node License Keys will ever be available, ensuring the scarcity and value of each key.

• Two-Phase Sale: We're offering keys through a private sale (3,500 keys) and a public sale (16,500 keys) with a 10-tier pricing structure.

• Transferability: Keys are transferable across wallets, allowing for flexible management of your node operations. Once all keys have been sold, there will be a secondary market.

Benefits of Becoming a Node Operator

By participating in our Node Bootstrapping Event and becoming a node operator, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

• Financial Rewards: Earn through a dual reward system, combining a three-year fixed incentivized reward scheme with a share of network transaction fees. More info to follow.

• Governance Rights: Gain voting power on critical network decisions, allowing you to influence the network's evolution directly.

• Exclusive Access: Receive priority access to VEMP-built applications, upcoming product launches, and partner incentives, including airdrops and whitelist opportunities from our official launchpad.

How to Participate

Participating in the Node Bootstrapping Event is a straightforward process designed to be accessible to all interested and qualified parties. To get started, ensure you have a compatible wallet and sufficient funds. Keep an eye out for our upcoming announcement with details on registering for the sale, which will take place through NodeOps. If you're eligible, you may have the opportunity to get whitelisted for priority access, giving you an edge in securing your Node License Keys. When the sale begins, simply connect your wallet and purchase the number of Node License Keys you desire.

One of the unique aspects of our system is the ability to scale your participation. By acquiring multiple license keys, you can increase your stake in the network and boost your returns. This model allows you to grow your involvement in the Horizon ecosystem over time, aligning your investment with your confidence in the platform. Remember, the more Node License Keys associated with your running node, the greater your share of the overall rewards. This scalability feature provides flexibility for participants of all levels, from individual enthusiasts to larger operators looking to play a significant role in the network.

Looking Ahead

In the coming weeks, we'll release more information on our roadmap, developer tools, and SDKs. These resources will provide everything you need to build and operate on Horizon. We're proud to partner with industry leaders like Arbitrum, Caldera, and NodeOps to enhance Horizon's capabilities and provide robust support for our platform. We'll create a more inclusive, innovative, and rewarding gaming ecosystem for all.
