Why do I want to be on the WL?
Winning a spot on the WL guarantees you will be able to mint (1) NFT without needing to stress about participating in gas wars. The WL mint will cost 1.75 $AVAX, and all unclaimed WL spots will be available to mint during the public mint. So make sure to mint early, as the rest of the NFTs will go fast once the mint is made publicly available.
Final Key Launch Partner Reveal
Here comes a new champion! We are proud to announce that Avalaunch (XAVA) will be joining the battle!
We will generate 2000 NFT champions for XAVA, themed around their brand new mascot. Each NFT Champion is hand-drawn by our talented artists and assigned a rarity level based on their outfit and appearance. A 5-tier scale is used to rank the champions, which helps determine their power and abilities within the BotB game. With 10,000 total NFTs generated in the first minting process, participants have a 20% chance to receive any one of the 5 Champion types per mint.
Note: Infographic is for informational purposes only. While the ratios will stay the same, rarity levels may be subject to change.
Treasury Backing
Now that we’ve completed our lineup on Avalanche, we want to cover one of our favorite value propositions for BotB, Treasury Backing. The name says it all, we will take 35% of the total mint proceeds and purchase tokens/NFTs from our key partners’ Trader Joe, Avalanche Party Animals, Yield Yak, Avalaunch, and Relay which will give tangible value to the BotB NFTs.
Treasury assets are placed in select staking contracts, targeted to generate additional value, which NFT holders can claim after 12-18 months. The treasury backing and rewards will be connected to the NFTs themselves, not to a specific wallet. This goes for all future utility and rewards associated with the project.
The treasury values shown in this image are for demonstration purposes only.
Example:
- $YAK will be deposited into the Yield Yak staking contract, which earns $AVAX as a reward. (Current APR ~25%)
- $JOE will be deposited into the Trader Joe staking contract, which earns $JOE as a reward. (Current APR ~24%)
- $XAVA will be deposited into the Avalaunch staking contract, which earns $XAVA. (Current APR 7.8%)
PLUS, with the added bonus of participating in XAVA launches, we will create a voting system to vote on which XAVA launch we want to participate in as one of our first DAO features.
- $RELAY will be deposited into the Metis staking contract, which earns $METIS as a reward. (Current APR ~29%)
- Avalanche Party Animals NFTs will be purchased at floor price; APAs currently have $JOE, $MAG, $PTP backing them, and generate $AVAX and $FLY. Given this, we will discuss with the community how to best manage these assets and their backing.

About RelayChain
RelayChain enables fast, secure, and low-cost cross-chain token transfers between some of the world’s leading blockchains. The platform offers Bridging as a Service (BaaS) to partner networks and dApps wishing to expand their footprint beyond a single chain. RelayChain currently supports bridges between any combination of Cronos, Harmony, Moonriver, IoTeX, Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Fantom, Avalanche, Shiden, and HECO. Many additional popular networks will be added in the near future. A unique feature of RelayChain is that once a token exists on our platform, it can be bridged to any other EVM in our list of networks. This is done in a single step, without the need to return to the parent chain first. This technology represents a major evolution in speed and convenience for all our users, and lays a blueprint for the future of web3. The RELAY token holds high utility, as it’s used to reward token stakers with a share of the native gas tokens collected from bridging fees. As a deflationary token, the more transactions that occur, the more RELAY is bought back and burned, continuing to increase the value of remaining token holdings. RelayChain will quickly enable any project’s tokens to be bridged at no cost to the original project.
