🎉🎉🎉 Rewards have been distributed 🎉🎉🎉

Dark Emblem has distributed our first round of rewards to everyone that has been part of our community – without which we wouldn't be where we are. Thanks for bearing with us as we tested Dark Emblem, completely change from ETH to WAX, and went through the whitelisting process.

## Rewards have been distributed

We have distributed our first round of rewards. This process was done by grabbing all known wallets and roles from Discord and Honeycomb, then using an additional script to distribute the rewards to each wallet name. We also got to use [https://waxcpu.com/](WaxCPU) since we ran out of CPU usage pretty early on during the process, so shout out to them.

Breakdown of rewards:

Early Supporters:

* 1 Legendary Pack
* 1 Celebration Slime
* 10 DREM

Early 200:

* 1 Celebration Slime
* 10 DREM

Verified:

* 10 DREM

## How do I use my rewards?

If you want to open your packs, log into the [dApp](https://darkemblem.com), then go to [your packs](https://darkemblem.com/game/packs).

For newly minted Celebration slimes, check out your cards in the [dApp](https://darkemblem.com) after logging in.

No more Celebration slimes will be minted! Congrats on your unique little gold bordered slime.

Use DREM to Ascend and Transmogrify cards, [see the docs](https://blog.darkemblem.com/docs/drem/drem) for more info.

## Where are my rewards?

Go to the dapp and log in with your primary wallet that you synced with Honeycomb. If you aren't seeing any rewards, most likely we couldn't match your discord name with your wallet name.

To remedy this, go to the `#verify` channel and type `.wallets`. We will do another round of rewards on the May 8th weekend.

## Looking forward

So what's next? There are a few things the team needs to clean up in the WAX contract now that we are whitelisted. After that, we have big plans for PvE and new ways to use your DREM. Stay tuned for more!

![Splash](media/2022-04-27-whitelist/whitelist.png)



The Dark Emblem team has been working on this NFT project for almost six months now. We started on Ethereum, wrote an entire set of Solidity smart contracts, created a web3 app, and tested it on the Ethereum testnet. But we weren't satisfied with Ethereum's slow transaction speeds and high gas fees.

We always invisioned Dark Emblem to be a more interactive experience with card NFTs being core to the rest of the gameplay. We moved to WAX and used everything we learned from Ethereum to create a solid contract, dApp, and core card features.

When porting over to WAX, it was immediately obvious that we should use AtomicAssets to mint our NFTs so that we could integrate with AtomicHub – the biggest NFT marketplace for WAX.

Getting our Dark Emblem NFT collection Whitelisted is a huge milestone for us, but it's just the beginning.

## What is Whitelisting?

![Whitelisted](media/2022-04-27-whitelist/whitelisted.png)

What does it mean to be whitelisted? The collection and NFTs in it will show up by default in the AtomicHub UI – users no longer need to explicitly turn off "Show Whitelisted NFTs".

The collection will show up by default when searching, viewing auctions and sales, and throughout the UI:

![Search](media/2022-04-27-whitelist/search.png)

## How did the process work?

You can read more about the whitelisting requirements on the [AtomicHub site](https://support.pink.gg/hc/en-us/articles/4763342411282-What-are-the-requirements-to-become-a-whitelisted-collection-on-AtomicHub-).

We applied for a Game-based NFT. You can interact with our contract to purchase packs, open those packs for card NFTs, and then ascend/transmogrify those cards. We also recently updated our [dApp](https://darkemblem.com/leaderboard) to see the most powerful cards minted.

The whitelisting process meant we worked with AtomicHub to verify our art, our WAX contract, and our company.

## Looking forward

Whitelisting is only one of the first steps for Dark Emblem. We are working on a lot of new functionality that doesn't have exact dates yet, but we can give you an idea of what's coming next:

* We are going to distribute rewards to our Early Supporter and Early 200 roles.
* We are working on PvE gameplay that will be built into the contract and let users earn additional DREM and cards.
* Lore was written for all of our cards and setting, we are just figuring out th best way to incorporate it into the dApp.

## Ready for more?

Make sure to stay up to date on [our discord](https://discord.gg/z3u9fFRyzV).

Buy your first pack by going to [the dApp](https://darkemblem.com).

Already have Dark Emblem NFTs? [Make sure you have migrated them to the latest schema](/blog/card-migrate).

We are working on our Whitelisting process with AtomicHub. This takes some time and may cause some changes along the way. If you have already opened some packs at this point, you will want to migrate your cards from the old `cards` schema to our new card schema. This is a one time migration that will update the image url and make sure all the cards show up in the correct schema.

To do this, you just need to transfer the card assets to our contract with a specific memo, then the contract will burn the old card and mint a new version of the NFT with the exact same traits.

## Detailed Steps

How to migrate your cards:

### 1. Go to your collection

Go to your AtomicHub collection and filter by the Dark Emblem collection (`darkemblemc1`) and look for cards in the `cards` schema:

Example link: `https://wax.atomichub.io/profile/<YOUR_WAX_NAME>?collection_name=darkemblemc1&order=desc&schema_name=cards&sort=transferred#inventory`

Make sure to unselect "Only Whitelisted NFTs".

![View your cards](media/2022-04-12-card-migrate/1-filter.png)

### 2. Select all your Dark Emblem NFTs

Select all your Dark Emblem card NFTs. There is a little checkbox next to each card.

![Select your cards](media/2022-04-12-card-migrate/2-select.png)

### 3. Start a transfer

Click Actions -> Transfer.

![Actions Transfer](media/2022-04-12-card-migrate/3-actions.png)

### 4. Set up the transfer

Set the `To` field to "darkemblems1". It may say "No results found".

Set the memo to `migrate`. This is very important. Without this memo, the contract will not mint your NFTs.

Double check the above inputs, they are case sensitive.

![Run the migration](media/2022-04-12-card-migrate/4-migrate.png)

### 5. Send the transfer

Sign your transfer. Once the contract receives your NFTs, it will burn them and remint them in the new schema.

We did a stealth production launch this last week, with some of the members on our discord participating. I decided not to publicly announce the launch since there was still a lot of testing to do, and lo-and-behold we found quite a few issues that needed to be addressed.

![Splash](media/2022-03-19-state-of-play-update/splash.png)



### Working with AtomicHub

I have been in contact with the AtomicHub team to get our NFT whitelisted on AtomicHub’s site.

In addition, I’m working with their team to determine the best way to use their AtomicAssets API to power the Dark Emblem dApp.

### Stability

When we deployed to production, we noticed a lot of stability issues in the UI and the server thanks to our community testing the dApp out. It turns out the production nodes for WAX and for AtomicAssets aren’t as nice to work with as the testnet versions. I released a new version of the app that fixes a lot of these issues.

With the help of the WAX community, I have been looking into ways to add more resiliency to our application. I am using different WAX nodes now to keep our UI and Server in-sync with new blocks on the WAX blockchain. We were running into rate limiting issues with the official WAX API node, but have seen a huge increase in successful requests since changes nodes.

As for the AtomicAsssets API, we are still seeing a lot of 520 responses coming from their API and I am working with them to resolve this issue. Until then, I have updated the dApp to let users retry requests that commonly fail.

If all that wasn’t enough, I added a tool called Bugsnag to the dApp and server so that we can track any errors in the future. This will help us debug the application and take note of which WAX nodes need to be replaced in our code.

### Chaos Testing

In order to better prepare the dApp for what can go wrong on production, I created a chaos module that will randomly fail requests when testing with common failures. This will force us to write a better app experience since we will commonly encounter errors on testing versions of the app, instead of just in production.

### New Status Page

To help users understand what may be going wrong on the site if features aren’t working correctly, we released a new Status Page at the top of the application.

![Health](media/2022-03-19-state-of-play-update/health.png)

If an endpoint appears unhealthy, we will show an alert at the top of the page. We use a combination of 3 APIs to create a rich UI: WAX, AtomicAssets, and Dark Emblem. This page will let you monitor their current status.

### Looking Forward

There is still more work to do to get the UI to have a seamless experience. We will start looking at proxying requests to our server for AtomicAssets and WAX API calls that we can cache.

More importantly though, I am confident on our fixes and I am moving forward with a full launch of Dark Emblem!

![Celebrate!](media/2022-03-12-initial-release/celebrate.gif)

After months of planning, testing, pivoting, commissioning art, writing lore, and tons of other stuff behind the scenes, we are finally launching Dark Emblem NFT!

It started with an idea for a card game on the blockchain. With the help of @0wnMe0rDie @money_pit_rsx, the idea took form and grew in scope to include Ascending and Transmogrifying cards, along with our first Generation 0 set of cards that we would release.

What does Generation 0 of Dark Emblem NFT offer? This first series of cards has quite a lot packing in it!

## WAXP

Dark Emblem NFT is build on the WAX blockchain. It joins other awesome projects like Hot Wheels NFTs, Funko POP Digital NFTs, and deadmau5 NFTs. To learn how to get started using WAX, feel free to read our [blog post](/blog/why-wax).

We picked WAX over ETH for a lot of different reasons, but the main selling points were proof-of-stake - which made it much more efficient to do card packs, actions with cards, and would enable us to do more on the blockchain in the future.

## Packs

On Dark Emblem, you can buy Legendary, Rare, or Common packs for a given season. Once you have a pack, you can keep it, trade it, or open it whenever you'd like, even after the season is over.

## Cards

When you open a pack, we will mint random cards for you (with [stat boosts](/docs/nfts/stat-boosts) applied based on the pack type). There are Hero Cards and Equipment Cards that you can mint.

### Hero Cards

Our GEN0 set of cards consists of "Veronica - the Shining Knight", "Dahreal - the Dahi Warlock", and "Neko Bella", and "Slime".

### Equipment Cards

Equipment cards in GEN0 can apply different stat boosts to the cards they are equiped to. GEN0 has a plethora of equipment cards that you can get.

## Trading/Selling/Auctions

Dark Emblem NFT is built on [AtomicHub](https://wax.atomichub.io/) – allowing us to build NFTs that scale. Through AtomicHub, you can explore Dark Emblem NFTs, make offers on cards, and make trades, create auctions, and more!

## $DREM

In order to Ascend and Transmogrify cards, you will need our $DREM token. You can exchange WAXP for $DREM in the dApp. The exchange rate is subject to change.

Once you have $DREM, you can see your balance by visiting the DREM page or by checking your connection status at the top of the dApp.

## Our Immediate Plans

Now that we have deployed Dark Emblem to production, we have a few follow up tasks to do:

1. Ensure all the functionality works in the live environment.
2. Give Early Supporters DREM
3. Give Testnet users DREM

## Plans for the Future

But this is just the beginning, there are many more events, updates, and games coming to the Dark Emblem NFT Universe!

Our laundry list includes:

* Mint promotional celebration cards for all users
* Conduct raffles for packs
* Conduct raffles for cards
* Play games for DREM
* Create the Dark Emblem card game
* Introduce card effects

We look forward to what the future of Dark Emblem holds!

Get ready to participate in the Dark Emblem testnet by following these easy steps!

## Step 1: Install Anchor

Anchor will allow you to interact with dApps - blockchain based applications.

![Anchor Splash](media/2022-02-15-testnet-steps/anchor-splash.png)

You can [download Anchor](https://greymass.com/en/anchor/) for free on their site.

Once installed, open up Anchor on your computer and set up a master password.

Never share your password to anyone, not even members of the Dark Emblem team.

## Step 2: Create a Testnet Account

We need to create an account on the WAX testnet blockchain. To do this, go to [waxsweden](https://waxsweden.org/create-testnet-account) to create an account.

Save the credentials you are given (and remember your name!), you will need the **active** private key later.

Never share your private keys to anyone.

## Step 3: Set up Anchor

Go back to Anchor and go to "Manage Blockchains". Add "WAX Testnet".

Now click "Import and Existing Account". Scroll down to "Import Manually". The auto-import feature doesn't work with the testnet.

Type the name you used to create the account, set your permission name to "Active", and paste your active private key from Step 2.

## Step 4: Get some testnet WAXP

You'll need some actual WAXP to buy packs and $DREM on the Dark Emblem dApp.

Go back to [waxsweden](https://waxsweden.org/create-testnet-account) and scroll down to "How to get some tokens". Enter your account name from Step 2 and your account will be sent testnet WAXP.

## Step 5: Log in to Dark Emblem

Now you can go to [Dark Emblem](https://darkemblem.com) and log in with your Anchor wallet!

## Step 6: Test out the Testnet

Now you can use Anchor to sign transactions! This means you can go to Dark Emblem and buy packs, convert your WAX to $DREM, and ascend/transmogrify cards!

Try it out! We are excited to hear your feedback!

## Testnet Countdown

You may have noticed, but we added a testnet countdown timer to the [Dark Emblem website](https://www.darkemblem.com/).

![Dark Emblem Countdown](media/2022-01-31-state-of-play-update/dark-emblem-countdown.png)

Anyone who participates in the testnet will get DREM when the contracts go live.

1. Early Supporters will get 10 $DREM on release
2. Testnet users will get 5 $DREM on release

[Join the testnet](/docs/testnet/participating)!

## New Cards

We added a bunch of new cards to round out the GEN0 season. We will create follow up blog posts to feature each card type.

## Core Functionality

All the core functionality hase been migrated over to the new [dapp](https://darkemblem.com), including Ascending cards, Transmogrifying cards, viewing cards, buying packs, opening packs, and getting notifications.

The WAX protocol is also much faster than the Ethereum equivalent, so expect transactions to feel almost instant.

## WAX Benefits

With the new WAX based protocol, I opted to use AtomicAssets. If you are familiar with WAX, you will be accustomed to staking RAM (think ETH gas fees) to purchase NFTs. With Dark Emblem using AtomicAssets you do not have to worry about staking RAM. Our contract auto-stakes RAM for our NFTs.

You will see throughout the Dark Emblem dapp links to AtomicHub for auctions, sales, and viewing you assets.

## Open Source

Since I have abandoned using the Ethereum protocol for Dark Emblem for the foreseeable future, I have open sourced the Ethereum contracts. You can view them
on the [Dark Emblem github account](https://github.com/Dark-Emblem/dark-emblem-eth-contracts). Look forward to future open source projects there.

## Other Changes

- We updated the whitepaper. The official whitepaper can now be found on [our website](https://www.darkemblem.com/downloads/Dark_Emblem_White_Paper.pdf).
- We updated the roadmap. The official roadmap can now be found on [our website](https://www.darkemblem.com/roadmap).
- We added documentation on [auctions](/docs/auctions), [buying packs](/docs/buying-packs), [how pack ids work](/docs/nfts/pack-ids), and more.

Dark Emblem is moving to AtomicHub – the one stop solution for creating, trading, buying and selling NFTs that is already used by hundreds of thousands of loyal users. This will give us a common place to display our WAX NFTs for others to see, buy, and sell.

## Why Atomic Hub?

You can think of AtomicHub like the OpenSea for WAX based assets. By utilizing the
AtomicAssets standard for Non Fungible Token (NFT) standard, our Dark Emblem cards and packs are able to be interacted with via AtomicHub.

It offers a powerful feature set while keeping unnecessary complexity to a minimum and focusses on RAM efficiency.

## No RAM Costs for users

The RAM cost is paid fully by our Dark Emblem dapps that creates the NFTs. Even when transfering assets, this stays the same.

## Powerful Trade Offers

AtomicAssets features a native implementation of two sided trade offers (similar to Steam or WAX Express Trade). This allows creating and accepting offers with a single action. The implementation of the offers also allows for peer to peer marketplaces that don't require transferring ownership to a market contract.

Dark Emblem is ditching ETH and Web3 and moving to WAX and WAXJS. This is a major change and was quite an overhaul of our system, but it's also a big step forward.



## Why WAX

There are a few reasons to move to WAX:

* Proof of stake
* Lower gas fees
* Faster transaction times
* Lower contract overhead

WAX is a proof of stake blockchain. While ETH2.0 promises proof of stake and lower gas fees, I am not sure about the timeline and I don't want to publish an ETH contract that we have to migrate everyone from once proof of stake is released. We had a full set of contracts created, but random card mints from packs proved to be incredibly expensive due to gas. Gas constraints were starting to influence what we wanted to do with Dark Emblem and how we were going to implement it. With WAX, while we do have to worry about RAM costs, we are able to pay for this on behalf of our users via the WAXP used to purchase packs! Our contract will pay for the RAM to buy packs and mint cards!

We did do a full testnet testing round and found that transactions were incredibly slow on the Ethereum blockchain. Participants would purchase a pack and then sit there waiting to see what cards they got. With WAX, we are seeing incredible response times for transactions and are able to show purchased and opened packs quickly.

WAX also has a built in concept of assets, asset transfers, and asset ownership. Using this means that others don't have to rely on us implementing the ERC721 standard correctly. Dark Emblem can focus on building an awesome card game on WAX, rather than worrying about interface compability, future extensibility, and security around our implementation of ERC721 and ERC20 standards.

## How it will work

With Dark Emblem moving over to WAX, you will need to create a WAX account and buy WAXP. The WAX ecosystem make this easy by just going to https://all-access.wax.io/.

Once you have an account, you can just visit our Dapp to start buying and opening packs.
