DeFi Land, an agricultural simulation game recognized during Solana’s summer hackathon, is now inviting GameFi enthusiasts to test its platform. Following a six-week closed beta involving 3,000 verified users—of which one-third used the software daily—DeFi Land launched its public test on December 22 at 4 PM.
Ahead of the game's full launch in Q1 next year, DeFi Land’s developers want the public to experience what the ecosystem has to offer. This is a game integrating DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and the metaverse, made accessible to all versions of the public—all you need is a wallet holding SOL.
Unveiling DeFi Land
DeFi Land is the first game on Solana to undergo public testing prior to a full release, prioritizing product functionality and continuous development over endless marketing. During the public test phase, players can earn rewards by completing mini-games, farm land, trade tokens and fish, and expand their plots whenever they have time—making their farms appear larger and more vibrant. In short, they’ll get a clear preview of the version launching in February or March.
On the surface, this farm-themed project combines various DeFi protocols, enabling users to manage their investment portfolios in one place while also earning extra income within the metaverse. The game’s native DFL token sits at the core, being used across varying degrees for governance, staking, trading, and NFT creation.
Interestingly, DeFi Land recently partnered with Audius, the decentralized music streaming platform, allowing players to listen to radio stations while playing. Starting from its launch date on December 22, sound waves will be broadcast from the newly added 3D structure in the metaverse—the Audius Radio Tower. Soon after, social features such as chat functionality will be integrated, offering players richer interactive experiences.
While numerous DeFi protocols have rolled off the production line in 2021 (with around 70 new crypto games emerging each month), DeFi Land’s core team believes they’re offering something more satisfying—both visually and aesthetically, as well as in terms of learning curve. Both DeFi newcomers and veteran liquidity providers can simply connect their wallets and enjoy fun gameplay, DeFi mechanics, and gamified elements.
The brains behind DeFi Land believe that beyond providing infrastructure for token acquisition and yield farming, DeFi Land must offer users more. Thus, players swapping and farming tokens will also begin completing tasks and tracking achievements, with outcomes and rewards tied directly to their portfolio performance. By the way, rewards will include those generated by the platform itself, as well as additional incentives from DeFi Land’s network of partners.
During this public test event, users will evaluate several implemented features including gamified DeFi services (swaps, LP, farming), aggregators, mini-games for XP and leverage, and map-editing mode. The creators plan to add further play-to-earn (P2E) models and NFT integration in the near future (Q1 2022), emphasizing gamification and enhanced user experience. They’ve also teased rewards for loyal players who participated in the public test starting in October, with further details coming soon.
The GameFi Moment
Undeniably, public enthusiasm for GameFi is high—half of all cryptocurrency wallet connections in November were for gaming purposes. It’s no surprise then that Solana Ventures announced this week it would invest $150 million into startups building games for its ecosystem. Given this momentum, now is indeed the perfect time to launch DeFi Land.
The platform has already secured $4.1 million in funding, with dozens of major investors expressing strong confidence in its potential, including FTX, Animoca Brands (Axie Infinity, Dapper Labs), Alameda Research, Jump Capital, NGC Ventures, Solana Foundation, and Gate.io. Incidentally, the latter platforms—alongside Raydium and Solanium—supported the recent public sale of DeFi Land’s native DFL token.
Going public with testing is a bold move, signaling that DeFi Land’s anonymous team (each member using "DFL" as a prefix) aims to build anticipation and attract a large player base next year. And they may very well be right.
