Bridging the Gap from Off-Chain to On-Chain

Ragnarok: Monster World (ROMW) draws heavy inspiration from successful on-chain games like Axie Infinity, where player-driven on-chain activities are at the heart of the game’s success. However, to fully realize the potential of ROMW, it's crucial to create a bridge that allows players from the traditional web2 world to seamlessly transition into the web3 world.

Converting Off-Chain NFTs to On-Chain NFTs

In ROMW, players can earn off-chain Ragmons through gameplay (primarily by winning) or by purchasing them through traditional in-app purchases (IAPs), often in the form of random boxes. These off-chain Ragmons are generally less unique and more time-consuming to acquire compared to their on-chain counterparts.

Off-chain Ragmons require the same number of NFTs to merge on-chain but also need off-chain items such as Gold and Spell Books, which can be earned as rewards through gameplay. However, certain rare Ragmons, like Irochi, will only be available as on-chain NFTs, making them highly sought after.

Unlike on-chain Ragmons, off-chain Ragmons cannot be traded or exchanged with other players. Despite this, off-chain Ragmons are still treated with a degree of importance. Players have the option to convert their off-chain Ragmons into on-chain Ragmons after a designated cooling period. This conversion process also requires burning $Zeny tokens.

To protect the value of on-chain Ragmons, the conversion cost will be carefully managed. Offering free or low-cost conversions could undermine the on-chain market, so the cost will be adjusted periodically based on the on-chain Ragmon floor price, monitored of course by the developers and later by the DAO.

It’s important to note that this conversion feature will not be launched until the $Zeny token is live, ensuring the economic stability of the game. Further details on the conversion process will be provided in future updates.
