What Is Crabada (CRA)?

Crabada is a crab-themed play-to-earn NFT game on Avalanche, where players assemble a team of three crabada to earn the in-game currency Treasure Under Sea (TUS). Being an idle game, players deploy their Mining Party consisting of three crabada to mine treasure. Each mining expedition takes four hours and returns 3.75 CRA and 303.75 TUS. Players can also engage in looting missions to try to take over another player’s mining party. Moreover, idle crabada can be lent to other players and deployed as mercenaries.

Crabada provides a detailed roadmap and plans to release several features over the next year. NFT avatars are targeted for December 2021. In early 2022, Crabada will expand its gameplay modes to feature daily and monthly quests, integrate player and crabada levels, and launch on other blockchains. For the second quarter of 2022, Crabada aims to introduce land ownership, with the remainder of the year featuring battle game content and improvements like PVP tournaments, boss fights, additional game items, and more.

Who Are the Founders of Crabada?

Crabada is the brainchild of several people that, reportedly, have multiple years of experience in blockchain applications. The project was co-founded by several anonymous developers that are only partly active on social media.

0xtender is responsible for business operations and has worked in product management, with four years of experience on blockchain products; Jay is the project’s product designer and previously worked at Binance; Fuji is responsible for blockchain engineering and has been in the blockchain space since 2016, having worked on smart contract implementation and Ethereum customization; NH is responsible for backend development and has four years of experience working on crypto projects like Infinity Blockchain Labs. Six other people are working as part of the creative and marketing team at Crabada.

What Makes Crabada Unique?

Crabada is one of the first functioning play-to-earn games on Avalanche and stands out with its intriguing gameplay and comic-y game design. In its currently available Beta version, players only have the option to choose between mining or looting as gameplay modes. Players can mine up to six mines a day and earn a maximum of 22.5 CRA and 1822.5 TUS if they are not looted.

For looting missions, players select another player’s mining party and engage in combat. Each looting mission takes between one to two and a half hours, depending on whether the mining crabada sends reinforcements to defend their mine. Looters earn a small bounty of 0.3 CRA and 24.3 TUS for each looting mission, and a successful loot results in stealing 65% of the mining party’s rewards (2.4375 CRA and 197.4375 TUS). Players can engage in a maximum of 16 loots per day and a 100% success rate would yield 43.8 CRA and 3547.8 TUS, although that would be subject to winning some loots without the defending player sending reinforcements.

Crabada come in six different factions, eight different classes, eight different breeds, and six different body parts. By balancing different crabada classes, players can complement their team and maximize their mining successes. Crabada have different genetic makeups, meaning when players breed them to create new crabada, the chances of receiving a desired outcome depend on the crabada’s genes. Crabada can breed up to five times and each breeding process costs 105 CRA and a non-fixed amount of TUS, that increases according to the number of times a crabada has bred.

Players can also trade their crabada on the game’s marketplace or lend them to other players for mining or looting missions in the so-called Tavern.

How Is the Crabada Network Secured?

Crabada is part of the Avalanche ecosystem. The Avalanche consensus mechanism is distinct from proof-of-stake or proof-of-work since it does not have one leader processing transactions that get validated by others. All nodes process and validate transactions simultaneously, with random polling to ensure that transactions are correct with statistical certainty. There are no blocks in this consensus mechanism, allowing immediate finalization and significantly improving the blockchain’s speed.
