These pools help us deliver a smoother, faster onboarding experience.

Node Reward Model: Transitioning Toward Long-Term Sustainability

<h1>Cornucopias February Update: A Month of Breakthroughs and Innovations</h1><h2>Introduction</h2><p>February has been one of the most exciting months we’ve ever experienced at Cornucopias. With deliverables coming to fruition and groundbreaking developments on the horizon, our momentum heading into 2025 is already snowballing into something massive.</p><h2>Major Developments</h2><h3>SuperVerse Partnership</h3><p>In November, we established a partnership with SuperVerse—a collaboration we have been extremely eager to unveil. The SuperVerse ecosystem sets the highest standard in Web3 gaming, boasting longstanding partnerships with Off the Grid, Metacade, Wilder World, Nyan Heroes, and more. With an outstanding reputation for collaborating with the best gaming projects in blockchain, we are thrilled to join the ranks of the elite.</p><p>This collaboration will enable us to integrate real-world brands into the Cornucopias universe in innovative ways. Expect features like customizable in-game structures, high-quality in-game advertisements, and special branded game assets purchasable with $SUPER.</p><h3>Weapons Development</h3><p>In February, we began dropping teasers about our evolving weapons system. Although we’ve only revealed a fraction of what we’re working on, our community is buzzing with anticipation for what’s to come. Soon, we will share more details about various weapon types, models, functionalities, and the intricacies of our comprehensive combat system.</p><p>In the next build, we plan to introduce a fully functional shooting range where players can test different weapons and determine which ones suit their playstyles best. This feature will include a leaderboard, adding an early layer of competition to this exciting new gameplay mechanic. We’re confident that gamers will be eager to explore this feature in the new Calido Pavillion area, known as the Glimpse of Esperanza.<br><br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfTQS8Lij8"></oembed></figure><h2>Art in the Multiverse</h2><h3>Glimpse of Esperanza</h3><p>Our community has been eagerly awaiting the release of our next major in-game biome dome, Esperanza. This ambitious project will increase our total in-game area by nearly 50%, adding 150 square kilometers of fresh gameplay space. Before the full release, we plan to offer a preview—similar to what we did for Solace—so that our community can experience a taste of what’s to come.</p><h3>Esperanza 1, 2 &amp; 3</h3><p>Esperanza 1 is nearly complete, and we continue to make significant progress with Esperanza 2 and 3. We are currently positioning the town centers and laying down land plots, and we expect our community to be thoroughly impressed when they explore the new layout.</p><p>Esperanza represents a major advancement in our approach to landscape and vegetation diversity. The Esperanza art kit is twice the size of the Solace art kit, offering twice as many creative assets to bring the biome to life. This upgrade will further enhance our biome development process, delivering a uniquely engaging experience in our game’s desert environment.<br><br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2046/373;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/eeyOFQ1fSe6NTWk1kxnX" width="2046" height="373"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2894/806;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/f63sfDjNSViFBZsljyYs" width="2894" height="806"></figure><h2>Upcoming Developments</h2><h3>Avatar 3.0</h3><p>The upcoming upgrades to our avatars are the most significant since the launch of our avatar creator. We are not only introducing new, dynamic movement animations but also implementing substantial visual enhancements that will be immediately noticeable. For example, we have integrated masculine and feminine skeletal structures to create a more natural baseline for avatar posture. Additionally, we are experimenting with details like “jiggle physics” to add an extra layer of immersion to the avatar system.</p><figure class="image"><img></figure><h2>Marketing</h2><h3>ETH Denver</h3><p>Cornucopias was honored to have a presence at ETH Denver as part of the Blockchain Arcade section. This opportunity allowed us to showcase our game to new audiences, reinforcing our potential to be recognized as a top-tier title in the industry.</p><h3>Upcoming Partnerships</h3><p>In the coming weeks, we look forward to unveiling several exciting partnerships with projects both within and beyond the blockchain industry. We have made significant breakthroughs in the realm of creative collaborations, and we believe our community will be just as enthusiastic about these new ventures.<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2837/780;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/9klIgk2wRzSyMXGc1RA3" width="2837" height="780"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2468/680;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Wgv8KGX6TzekwFEV2MtT" width="2468" height="680"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h1><span><strong>February 2025 Update: A Groundbreaking Start to the Year</strong></span></h1><p><span>January was a pivotal month for Cornucopias, with fundamental infrastructure materializing and groundbreaking advancements taking shape. As we step into 2025, we are pushing the boundaries of cutting-edge gaming technology, strengthening our market advantage, and laying the foundation for an immersive gaming experience.</span></p><h2><span><strong>Major Developments</strong></span></h2><h4><span><strong>Unreal Engine 5.5.1 Upgrade</strong></span></h4><p><span>Cornucopias continues to uphold its reputation as a future-proof game by consistently upgrading the tools used to build this expansive digital world. In mid-January, we successfully upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.5.1, marking a multi-phase enhancement already in progress.</span></p><p><span>The first phase, completed ahead of schedule, involved upgrading all team members and game files to the latest software version, followed by a thorough debugging process.

Our first implementation of these tools was with the new avatar animation system, significantly transforming the experience of exploring Cornucopias.</span></p><h4><span><strong>Motion Matching</strong></span></h4><p><span>In case you missed it, we showcased an early version of our new motion-matching avatar movement, featuring a "Terra" character navigating her environment with parkour-style maneuvers. This technology will revolutionize movement mechanics, making exploration more dynamic and visually engaging. Enhancing both gameplay and the visual appeal of our marketing content, motion matching is a top priority for 2025.</span><br><br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4ntRKdehc"></oembed></figure><h4><span><strong>Avatar Creator 3.0</strong></span></h4><p><span>Beyond movement, we are also refining the visual appeal of our avatars.

Leveraging insights from Solace, we have refined our workflow to accelerate landscape development efficiently. This streamlined process allows us to expand the game world at an unprecedented pace, with each new zone adding 150 sq km of playable real estate before our public launch.</span></p><p><span>At launch, players will have access to three zones—plus Calido—providing a total of 513 sq km of diverse landscapes to explore. Esperanza, a desert biome inspired by real-world locations such as Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico, brings a unique environmental experience to the game. To enhance immersion, we are also developing animal art to complement the environment.</span></p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/1lUzpDzSaqtKFD9ds2ZJ" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/2AqRMLb1SxWnIo1DtMTV" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><h4><strong>Structures</strong></h4><p>We can't forget about the incredible work being executed for land plot structures.

Over the next 90-day sprint, our team will finalize these animal models, alongside new additions such as Coyotes and Mountain Lions. These creatures will be powered by an early version of our custom NPC Animation Engine, bringing them—and future human NPCs—to life.</span></p><p><span>This advancement will create a richer and more interactive game world, filled with both active players and intelligent NPCs.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/HAKk1LC7TmqtZY1Fto3n" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Bd9U0sTORB6m2ieDjtBr" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/MrLJYkQY2hEkmzDkRg9g" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><span><strong>Marketing Initiatives</strong></span></h3><h4><span><strong>Cinematics Department</strong></span></h4><p><span>Marketing has been a key focus, and in January, we realigned our strategy to move forward with maximum impact in 2025.</span></p><p><span>A brand-new cinematics department has been established to create high-quality content that showcases the game in a visually stunning way. This team comprises individuals with deep knowledge of Cornucopias' development and extensive experience in commercial video production.

<h2><strong>2024 Recap</strong></h2><p>As we step into 2025, we’re reflecting on our accomplishments in 2024 to prepare ourselves for even greater success in the new year, building upon the strong foundations we’ve established. In 2024, we published 40 episodes of <i>Copi Cafe</i> with our Co-CEOs, Rob and Josh, delivering transparency and regular development updates to our dedicated community. We officially entered the DePIN category with the launch of our File Node Network, which will soon enable our community to distribute game files globally. Additionally, we released the largest game updates in the history of <i>Cornucopias</i>, including the Solace Zone and other new playable areas in Calido, making <i>Cornucopias</i> the largest playable in-game universe in the blockchain industry. We also introduced foundational gameplay elements such as one of the most advanced avatar creators in the industry, a robust spatial inventory system, a fully functional jetpack item category, a streamlined navigation system, and an in-game trading system based on in-game currency. And for the land plot holders, we ended the year with a massive plot research tool that allows players to navigate detailed maps of Solace 1, 2, and 3 with the option to favorite plots that they plan to grab when we launch our highly anticipated Land Grab in 2025.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/946;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/3VWqctIaQWGu1B5aEK5C" width="1920" height="946"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/949;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/YnRJwM1T2SymL5FomiCA" width="1920" height="949"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>2025 Roadmap Update</strong></h2><p>Our 2024 achievements have positioned us for <i>Cornucopias’</i> biggest year yet!

<h2>Art</h2><h3>Highly Anticipated Jetpack is here!</h3><p><br>The highly anticipated jetpack is finally here! In early September, we hinted at our first in-game item usable within the Solace-themed domes and beyond.

We're excited about the potential impact these items will have on the in-game experiences in both current and future versions of Cornucopias.<br>&nbsp;</p><h3>Upcoming Game Asset Sales</h3><p><br>We're thrilled to announce a new set of in-game assets in our next build, representing our largest collection yet. This includes a mix of high-end items and more affordable premium assets. The lineup features functional assets such as the ZeroG Jetpack, Scrapyard Jetpack, Valkyrie F9R, Bubblejett Super Phantom, and Atmos Cargo Ship. We also offer various cosmetic assets including a Cargo Backpack, Military Backpack, premium outfits for male and female characters, Burger Barn Goofy Hat, and the Corn Cutie Grizzly Bear Backpack. These assets will be on sale for a limited time over a 2-3 week period, with any unsold items reallocated to future rotations.

"More than a Glimpse" - Build 0.2.3 NOW LIVE!

<p>We are approaching the alpha testing phases of our gameplay and will soon unveil the massive zones of Solace, Esperanza, and Fortune to our community. In our tokenomics paper, we discussed how the COPI token will play a central role as the utility token that fuels the player-driven economy in the Cornucopias universe. As we unveil the massive world of Cornucopias to our community, we anticipate that the size of the early versions of our game will make people realize how massive our in-game economy could be. Even before it has been seen, many of our community members have believed in us and in our vision, so we want to give them more opportunities to get their hands on COPI token.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>What is a Stake Pool Offering?</strong></h3><p>We are launching the COPI token SPO (Stake Pool Offering) on Cardano. All COPI token SPO pools will be set at a 99.99% margin in exchange for 105% COPI token rewards. Rather than setting a stable ADA/COPI reward pair for the entire timeframe of the offering (like many SPOs have done in the past), we will be adjusting the reward to reflect a 6-epoch (roughly 30 days) moving average after every epoch on the ADA/COPI pair. Rewards will be claimable through DripDropz. At the close of our SPO (when all COPI has been distributed), the margin will change from the 99.99% to the standard 5% where delegators will then start receiving ADA rewards. As always, be aware of scammers and malicious actors. Be sure to validate all stake pool information with official Cornucopias written announcements.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Additional Rewards</strong></h3><p>Additionally, COPI rewards will also be accessible to those participating in DripDropz's proof of liquidity program. To engage, you simply need to supply liquidity in the form of COPI/ADA to one of the designated decentralized exchanges (DEXs) – specifically Minswap, Wingriders, or Vyfi. Upon doing so, the resulting LP tokens will reside in your wallet. You will then earn rewards based on the value of these LP tokens relative to the total COPI/ADA liquidity present on these DEXs. It's important to note that this is entirely optional, and you may choose to keep your ADA delegated in the SPO. However, if the SPO pool reaches full capacity, providing liquidity to the DEX with the COPI/ADA pair presents an alternative opportunity to accumulate additional COPI rewards. Rewards are variable and will fluctuate depending on the number of participants.&nbsp; Please wait to take action until we provide further details.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><ol><li>Land Staking - for those that are currently participating in our land staking program, rewards for land staking will be paid from either our SPO pool or the current non SPO pool, so it is your choice how to handle those.&nbsp; If you wish to participate in the SPO however, you must have your ada wallet staked to our new SPO pool.&nbsp; (ID to be provided ASAP upon pool creation)<br>&nbsp;</li><li>COPI rewards are based upon ADA rewards paid by Cardano for securing the Cardano blockchain.&nbsp; The rewards will be claimable on Dripdropz on the same schedule as when the ada rewards are claimable (in a regular stake pool, there is a two epoch gap).&nbsp; A 5% COPI bonus (5% of COPI due will be added to your total) will be included in the rewards claimable on DripDropz platform.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;</li><li><strong>It is paramount that you claim your rewards at least once per month on the DripDropz website.&nbsp; If you do not claim your COPI rewards as such, they will be lost.&nbsp; Active participation in the program is beneficial to Cardano, Cornucopias, and DripDropz, so thank you for understanding!</strong></li></ol><h3><strong>SPO Information</strong></h3><p><strong>We always recommend searching using the pool id as opposed to ticker to avoid possible scams.</strong></p><p><strong>SPO Ticker: COPIC</strong><br><strong>Pool ID:</strong>&nbsp;0836ac65915682ad8c7c138a61f354e31711f92f1b53442cd4a89b0b<br><strong>BECH 32 Pool ID: </strong>pool1pqm2cev326p2mrruzw9xru65uvt3r7f0rdf5gtx54zdskxqhmur<br><strong>Margin/Fee:</strong> 99.99%<br><strong>Rewards</strong>: COPI (claimed through DripDropz)<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Check out <a href="https://cornucopias.io/cornucopias-stake-pools">Cornucopias Stake Pools</a> for more information on our stake pools.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
