Victoria & GEM Capital AMA Recap
Trâu | GEM Capital
Could you please tell me just a little more about yourself as well as Victoria VR project?
Adam | Co-founder & COO
Victoria VR is a Blockchain-based MMORPG in Virtual Reality with Realistic Graphics built on Unreal Engine, created and owned by its users.
The whole world is built to be a universal platform for all virtual realities, games, and decentralized applications, collectively creating a Metaverse — a shared virtual realm, the 3D internet.
In the Victoria VR World, there will be games, quests, never-ending adventure, virtual galleries, and The Big Market VR where you can exchange NFT’s in 3D! In addition, users will be rewarded for each of their activities in the VR world.
We started in one small office (20 sqm), working every day and night to make the film ‘Ready Player One’ a reality.
We left our old lives behind to focus solely on this project; now it’s our everything.
It started with 2 of us, Ondrej Dobrusky the CEO and I. Now we are 69 with a lot of them being gaming developers. We are making our dream come true.

What is the token utilities in the Victoria VR ecosystem? Can you show us the tokenomics? How could we take part in the token sale?
Adam | Co-founder & COO
Victoria VR Token (VR) is the native utility token that is used for:
* Staking
* DAO
* Buying VR Lands
* Buying all assets (items, buildings, resources, wearables, services, tickets, courses, art)
* Buying modificatory that generate you passive income
* Advertisements
* Transport
* Leasing
* And other Extras
Victoria VR will have their own in-game blockchain solution which will mean transactions have the highest speed and lowest fees, while not being slowed down by other games or DAPPs. However there are also bridges to ETH and BSC Networks, and maybe others in the future.
Victoria VR is a huge ever-expanding DAO and the Victoria VR token is used to govern it. There is an endless motivating economy rewarding active users and stakers.
Users are rewarded for their activities (completing quests, playing minigames, exploring the world, creating, building etc.). It’s a Play-2-Earn model, but the future vision is to grow this into a Live-2-Earn model. They are not just creating a game here, they’re creating a huge world where people can actually inhabit!
The staking program featured in Victoria VR offers a solid 20% APY. Soon after the TGE they are launching Dynamic Staking. Furthermore, 50% from everything earned by Victoria VR for selling assets in-game goes back to the rewards pool, ensuring the rewards pool is bottomless and the motivating economy never-ending!
Another use of the VR token is the purchase of VR Lands!
You will be able to buy VR tokens in the upcoming main sale that will take place on DAO Maker at 23rd November. Then you can buy on exchanges shortly afterwards.
