In 1980, Sony developed the first 3.5 inch floppy drive and for more than a decade, floppy disks became the most popular way to store data. Since then, many other storage alternatives popped up and the floppy disk only remained as a relique from our childhood. However, with Age of Chains, we understand and value the beauty and endurance of our so beloved floppy disks. Thus, we are pushing its renaissance by making them a convenient way to store Age of Chains blockchain trading cards as a floppy disk hardware wallet.

Our first limited floppy disk edition is based on Xanthrax (Series 2 Card 016). The edition is limited to 50 floppy disks only, making it a unique crypto collectible for anyone interested in NFTs, crypto gaming and physical blockchain collectibles.

Xanthrax – Limited Floppy Disk Hardware Wallet Edition

The limited Xanthrax floppy disk hardware wallet comes with a holographic image of Xanthrax. Additionally, the disk is sealed with a security sticker which has to be broken to run the floppy disk and access the associated private key containing the digital Xanthrax blockchain trading card. The card comes as a PDF in the shape of a certificate, designed by a professional designer.

Furthermore, each of the 50 floppy disks comes with a printed certificate of authenticity. The certificates are numbered sequentially and hand signed by Age of Chains’ CEO Kilian Kunst. The certificate also comes laminated, preventing it from taking damage from fluids or from being bent. This way, beyond the digital trading card stored on the disk, you will enjoy two physical collectibles in one: the limited floppy disk as well a physical version of the certificate.

We hope you enjoy this limited floppy disk edition as much as we do. Xanthrax is just the beginning. We already are working on creating limited floppy disk hardware wallets for some of our other cryptocollectible trading cards, too. We hope you enjoy this limited floppy disk edition as much as we do.

The Xanthrax crypto collectible trading card runs on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Counterparty protocol, which means that each Age of Chains wallet at the same time can also be used as a regular Bitcoin wallet.

If this article has gotten you interested, you can secure yourself one of the “Xanthrax Limited Floppy Disk Edition” in our shop.

For us, this is the first step into entering the world of physical blockchain collectibles and for the future, we have a lot more exciting products in mind. Any funds raised through the sale of our limited floppy disk edition directly supports the development of Age of Chains.

Thank you for your support!

Good luck!

Aquar, a species that well before our time once prospered on this now deserted planet called Xu’Danar. Their ability to bridge cosmic constellations through their remarkable understanding of decentralized networks quickly gave rise to their culture within the Golden Era of the Cosmic Union.

For billions of years, the Aquar have been known as the gatekeepers between our and the spiritual world. By constantly furthering their sacred knowledge about the varios dimensions, they became true masters operating in between them. It is them with whom human and otherworldly shamans often interacted during their spiritual journeys when seeking help from non-ordinary reality.

One particular Aquar, Quarks, already as a young child surprised his relatives with the sheer incredible astronomical and spiritual knowledge of his. This led to the belief that he is chosen to serve as a guardian to those who are rightfully in need of help.

And so it came that he kept travelling the universe and dimensions both physically and spiritually to fulfill the god-given prophecy of him helping others.

Since then, more than billions of years have passed and the tribe of the Aquar has almost faded into non-existence. Only a few of them are still alive, though scattered throughout the corners of this sheer gigantic universe. Quarks himself is said to be one of the few prevailing descendants of this intergalactic tribe of which only a handful remain.

It is now that Quarks has returned to his home planet looking to discover the secrets of his ancestors. Beneath the desert of Xu’Danar resides what used to be the cultural center of the Aquar.

Having carefully studied both the physical and spiritual realm within the different realities of our universe, Quarks possesses inherent power to manipulate matter in any given state. Thus, he mindfully takes position to uncover the past…

Secure yourself the Quarks, Master of Black Holes trading card and dive deeper into the lore behind Age of Chains.

While still being a mystery to many, so called crypto NFTs (non-fungible Tokens) are finding more and more appreciation in the communities of the crypto collecting and gaming industry.

Fungible Tokens Came First

In the beginning, there has only been Bitcoin: A fungible cryptocurrency where all coins, apart of their transactional history, are identical to another. Therefore, each Bitcoin can be exchanged to any other Bitcoin – they are interchangeable. And thirdly, a Bitcoin is divisible and can be split into smaller parts, just like regular currencies. However, Bitcoin is even further divisible. A Dollar is divisible to two digits after the decimal point whereas Bitcoin can be split to eight digits after the decimal point.

Following Bitcoin’s principles of fungibility, many thousands other cryptocurrencies emerged since Bitcoin’s inception. But in 2015, one project started doing things differently.

Counterparty: Beginning of the Crypto NFT

The Counterparty (XCP) project understood the need of a different kind of token. As a protocol running on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, Counterparty has been enabling the creation of the first crypto NFTs.

By paying a fee of 0.5 XCP (its native cryptocurrency), Counterparty lets its users create an alphabetic, non-divisible token (e.g. GUARDIANCARD), the first kind of a crypto NFT. This gave rise to a unique use case for blockchain: Crypto collectible trading cards.

As a result, a variety of blockchain trading card projects started building on top of Counterparty: Spells of Genesis, Sarutobi Island, RarePepe, Bitcorn and of course Age of Chains, to name a few.

Due to their design, Counterparty based crypto NFTs can be seen as a hybrid. On one side, they are non-divisible, thus resembling the classic design of an NFT. On the other side, they aren’t unique but uniform, making them interchangeable.

Let’s take a look at an example: You want create a digital trading card with a supply of 1000. As each card represents the same trading card, you don’t need it to be unique. Hence, Counterparty serves as a great solution here.

Limits of Counterparty’s Crypto NFTS

However, your goal might be to add more unique information to a token. You might want to number each individual of the 1000 cards to know which the #1, #2, etc. of the 1000 cards is. This will be rather difficult to do over XCP. Yet, for anything else, Counterparty even today is probably the simplest, most secure protocol to issue crypto collectibles, also thanks to using the Bitcoin blockchain.

In fact, even creating truly unique, non-interchangeable crypto collectibles over Counterparty is possible, e.g. by limiting the token’s total supply to 1 during the issuance process. But people were asking for more flexibility and so came the time for Ethereum to shine.

The ERC-721 NFT: Home of Crypto Kitties & Punks

The Ethereum community expanded the existing crypto NFT landscape by creating the ERC-721 token standard. Besides being indivisible, its special feature has been the attachment of meta data directly into the token.

It quickly sparked adoption within Ethereum based projects. In particular, CryptoKitties and CryptoPunks. Using the ERC-721 standard, these projects created unique looking crypto punks and kitties. Each of them exists as an ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain. Their inherent metadata defines their look and makes them unique.

Observing the commercial success of these two projects, a whole wave of crypto collectible projects emerged on top of Ethereum. But it wasn’t too long that the community proposed another token standard for the crypto NFT: ERC-1155.

ERC-1155: Ethereum’s Multi-Send Token

The previous Ethereum token standards required a separate smart contract to be deployed for each token type. The result had been a lot of redundant on-chain code slowing the network down.

As a solution, the community came up with the ERC-1155 token standard. It enables the sending of multiple tokens within a single transaction. These can be both: fungible tokens (such as divisible ingame currencies) and NFTs. Due to this design, it can save a lot of the now present congestion within the Ethereum network.

Counterparty: Inventor of the Multi-Send

Finally, let’s take a look again at Counterparty (XCP) while the majority of the crypto world looks at Ethereum only.

Similar to Ethereum, XCP also does have a multi-send feature for sending both NFTs and fungible tokens in one single transaction. It has been proposed years ago and finally got implemented recently. Hence, it has become extremely easy to send multiple crypto NFTs to a variety of recipients.

All in all, one can say that crypto NFTs aren’t that new of a phenomenon. Years before Ethereum, Counterparty laid the foundation for the first projects to use NFTs and over time, Ethereum built their interpretation of a crypto NFT.

During these days, the hype certainly goes with Ethereum but with similar features in place, the Counterparty community has shown their ability of being able to compete on all levels with Ethereum.

Choosing Counterparty over Ethereum for NFTs

By building on top of Bitcoin, XCP benefits a lot from BTC’s inherently secure design. Conversely, Ethereum offers more general flexibility by sacrificing security.

When we started Age of Chains in 2016, we chose Counterparty for three main reasons:

1. Existing infrastructure: There were already a few crypto collectible projects using the protocol.
2. Ease of use: XCP made it very easy to issue your NFT
3. Security: By using Bitcoin as a backbone blockchain, you also get all of its distinctive security benefits.

As crypto is still in its infancy, the future of the NFT is going to be an interesting one. Certainly, more and more projects from inside the blockchain community, as well as from the outside world are going to adopt the crypto NFT. By design it serves as the perfect tool for creating digital collectibles, now and even more so in the future to come.

If you are curious to learning more about our crypto collectible trading card NFTs, feel free to check out our art gallery.

We’d be happy to hear from you!

Additional information: After having received feedback from the community, it is to say that the first ever NFTs were created through the Namecoin protocol, as early as 2011. They mainly served domain name registration within Namecoin’s decentralized DNS. Namecoin even already supported some kind of multi-send to trade NFTs (names) for its native cryptocurrency (NMC).

Xanthrax is of the Maitory, a species native on Sarin Nergo in the Recyan solar system. Through its inhospitable environment for non-native species, the Recyan solar system could avoid interest and hostilities from the Pure empire, for a time. The unique gases and venoms turned out to be invaluable resources for weaponry and medicine. Facing the decision to fight the empire or to be part of it, the inhabitants turned to the Maitory who are the dominant and most skilled species with poisons, gases and venoms. There is a highly dense venom found on their skin, which is created through their diet. Further, they have several organs like nostrils and skin to ingest and manipulate different toxins. But their biggest asset is that the organic spores of the Pure cannot survive in the Maitorys hostile body, making them immune to mind manipulation and mind control.

The Maitory decided to resist the Pure by using their natural affinity to poisons venoms and gasses to develop weapons on every scale. The most effective gases are used compressed, to produce liquid venom for bullet infusions and other ammunition which turn to gas on impact. Special secretions can be used to fabricate a crystallized form of toxin for close range blade weapons. Over time, the resistance turned into a stalemate and later even to a codependence of weapon manufacturer and customer. So the Maitory find themselves leading a syndicate which spreads throughout multiple solar systems within the Andromeda galaxy.

The Highest of all Maitory

Xanthrax climbed his way to the top by ascending into the highest form of the Maitory, a Czar Hadir. He became a being which could ingest and produce venom, toxins and gases at will. One of his numerous abilities is the release of toxic clouds. Another is to harvest and preserve multiple types of gases and venoms within his different organs to nurture them or to create new highly effective and unknown toxic substances.

Xanthrax is the syndicate leader of toxin weapon manufacturers which are spread throughout multiple solar systems within the Andromeda galaxy. In that territory, several species adapted to toxins using them mostly for aggressive purposes. It is rumoured that the extinction of the Olomy species was caused by Xanthrax alone as he created and released a nerve poison into the groundwater based on the Olomys DNA. With such a strong leader, voices are emerging for a move to independence from the Pure or even an own empire.

Recently, more and more key players of the sports are announcing their plans to release their trading cards as crypto collectibles.

This comes at no surprise, considering that the sports industry served as an attractive collector’s market for a long time. In particular, trading cards have been very sought-after since the very early days.

Before Crypto Collectibles: The Most Expensive Trading Card

In detail, the first company started printing baseball trading cards in the 1860s. The most expensive trading card of all time being the Honus Wagner T-206 from 1909 (see above). To be precise, an anonymous buyer paid a total of $2.1 million for the card in 2016.

Therefore, we can see that trading cards not only have the ability to maintain their value over a long period of time, but also that they can even increase their value considerably.

Art as Crypto Collectibles

Just years ago, the invention of the blockchain sparked the emergence of crypto collectibles. The first application of blockchain trading cards came from the art and video gaming industry.

Age of Chains also is one of the earliest projects to create crypto collectible cards with a focus on art and video gaming. We depicture blockchains as highly advanced characters in an intergalactic setting. See for example Thanatos the Rippler :

Our focus is on high-quality art. You can easily start your own collection of crypto collectible cards by shopping some of our Series 2 cards.

Sports Themed Crypto Collectibles

Another example is the Rare Pepe project. They not only put art on the blockchain, but also the very first sports themed blockchain trading card (JORDANPEPE):

Throughout the the past years, more and more projects focusing on crypto collectibles entered the market. While the majority of these projects were oriented around art and video gaming, a few also centered around sport as a topic.

MLB Crypto Baseball had been the first project to release baseball blockchain collectibles. However, it did not get the mainstream attention of the traditional sports collectors industry.

But 2020 seems to be the start of something big. Just recently, key industry players of the traditional trading card industry announced their plans to release sports themed crypto collectibles on the blockchain.

The most relevant names include Panini, the UFC and Bayern Munich. Panini already auctioned the first sports themed blockchain trading cards for prices of up to more than $40.000. This truly highlights the sheer potential of sports themed crypto collectible cards.

Soccer Clubs Are Jumping On Board

Not long ago, soccer clubs such as the FC Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus Turin declared their plans to release crypto collectibles. So likely we soon will see Cristiano Ronaldo on the blockchain.

In summary, this is just the beginning of a market that just began to evolve. Over time, more people will begin to understand and use the blockchain. Its ability to verifiably limit digital goods of any kind makes it a perfect fit for trading cards of all sorts. The sports industry is a huge and established market for trading cards. It is just natural for that market to merge with the blockchain space in order to produce crypto collectible cards.

With Age of Chains, we also are creating blockchain trading cards. If you are into crypto collectibles, why not start your own Age of Chains card collection?

Together, we can keep the galaxy decentralized!

Today we launched the world’s most intergalactic blockchain trading card shop on our website.

Truly built on the Bitcoin blockchain, we are focusing on creating high quality crypto collectibles with finest artworks since 2016. As a result, we already were able to secure the Crypto Games Conference Choice Award 2018 in Minsk.

Build Your Collection of Blockchain Trading Cards

Above all, opening of our intergalactic trading card shop grants supporters the opportunity to build their own collection of futuristic blockchain cards. We are using the funds obtained to follow our vision of creating a blockchain trading card video game, wherein collectors will be able to use their cards to play.

Our vision for Age of Chains is to enable the global paradigm shift towards decentralization. Consequently, the game serves to experience the benefits and beauty of blockchain technology in our world.

The launch of the shop allows us to ignite the fundraising process in collaboration with our community. We put a lot of work in the creation of each single Age of Chains card to conform to the high-quality standard of our art and project.”

At the moment, the shop offers a selection of seven different blockchain trading cards. In detail, their prices range from 0.1€ to 15€ per card, depending on their scarcity and future capabilities within the game.

The rarest and latest of the available Series 2 cards right now is Ascendency. It comes as an animated blockchain card and a circulating supply of 550 cards (total supply: 1000 cards).

Crypto Collectibles Are The Future

The trading card industry is changing at a rapid speed. Specifically, large traditional trading card players like Panini have been entering the crypto collectibles market. Certainly, we are just at the beginning of a paradigm shift in which we have established a position as supplier of superb blockchain trading cards.”

So far, supporters of the project have purchased more than 30.000 Age of Chains trading cards. Finally, the shop opening also has been featured on Cryptoandgamers.com

Most importantly, thank you for your support. You are the ones making this project possible!

Since the inception of Age of Chains in November 2016, our vision to create an intergalactic video game with blockchain trading cards, designed to bring peace and harmony to our world, has been guiding us through the unknown terrain that we entered. At that time, blockchain wasn’t a mainstream topic yet and we intuitively worked our way towards realizing our vision.

During 2017, mainstream attention for the crypto space began to rise and as predicted, more and more people began to understand the sheer possibilities of this revolutionary technology for our society & planet as a whole.

However, at that time, a lot of malicious actors began to jump on the hype tain, only to see an opportunity to become rich fast. Plenty of ICO projects popped up from the ether and while a selected few had their eligibility, the only intention of the majority of the projects was to profit from the losses of others. The peak and turning point of this ICO wave came with the boom and bust of pyramid-schemes like BitConnect in January 2018.

At that time I was presenting Age of Chains as a speaker at the Rare Digital Art Festival in NYC. Being the first time for me to visit this incredible city, it has been an extreme honor to be presenting our project here, in front of such an amazing crowd.

A day after the conference though, I already was taking the flight to San Francisco to be with my father who peacefully transitioned to the upper world soon after. The time around this event was not spent on thinking about blockchain or cryptocurrencies. My only goal had been to travel into nature and connect with the grand spirit of our universe to ask for peace and energy for my father.

After this phase, the aftermath of the preceding ICO wave had become more apparent. The vastness of ICO scams in the industry caused a lot of unpredictability about how strong regulators around the globe are going to oppose the blockchain space. This uncertainty had been quite disencouraging. Therefore, prior to creating further card sales, we first concentrated on getting the accounting side of the project on solid feet.

Simultaenously, we presented our project at various blockchain conferences across the world. First and foremost at the Crypto Games Conference in Minsk, where we connected with a great variety of likeminded people and secured the Conference Choice Award.

Now, in 2020, adoption of blockchain technology has been further accelerating and luckily, the legal institutions of our world mostly have taken a thoughtful approach towards the legality of blockchain based tokens.

More motivated than ever before, we now are back to delivering you the epic blockchain trading card game that Age of Chains thought to be. While our vision remains the same, the past showed us that way more resources in time and funds are needed in order to make it happen. As Age of Chains is a project that by heart, we do not mind how steep or long the way is. What counts are the steps that we undertake in order to achieve our vision.

While Age of Chains as a video game remains our end-vision, we have decided to expand our work upon a physical Age of Chains game as this will enable us a much faster completion while still being able to follow our quality standards.

As a first step, we are creating more wax sealed paper wallets to enable physical production of high quality Age of Chains blockchain trading cards and booster packs. We are looking to use the sale of digital and physical Age of Chains trading cards and collectibles to gather the needed resources to bring the project’s vision to full fruition.

Multiple big industry players now begin to understand the relevance of blockchain trading cards, such as Panini, FC Barcelona, Juventus Turin, AS Roma and the UFC. They all announced to enter the sought after blockchain trading card market.

Since 2016, Age of Chains has positioned itself in this space and we have a great future ahead. Follow us along on our mission to keep the galaxy decentralized!

Welcome stranger. There is a reason why you are here right now, reading this. Everything surrounding you shares this reason and not a single fragment of your being is exempt from it.

A Letter from the Past — 2017 AD

We are at a singular point in time where fallacious and millennia-old beliefs regarding the possibility of sustaining a productive and harmonic progression of the human species through the implementation and proliferation of centralized control systems, is crumbling. We can see that our existing paradigms only invite corruption and that our systems are not capable of scaling in a sustainable manner.

In the early days of humankind, communities were relatively decentralized arrangements with social structures organized as small tribes. At these sizes it was clear that the road to survival lay through sustainable development and collaboration. Nevertheless, throughout time, centralized structures driven by greed and corruption, crept into most of our societies.

With the challenges facing the planet right now, solving the puzzle of how to proceed in a sustainable manner has become critical and must be resolved before complete collapse. Fortunately, there is hope on the horizon. With the recent development of the internet, a way to break out of the chains we have built for ourselves has opened.

The new Millenium has already taken an interesting course. Such a course is providing insight into the problems associated with our existing social and economic structure and tools that may be used to repair the damage already done, allowing the development of a new paradigm free from such structural flaws.

The Beginning of a Decentralized Future

In January 2009 CE, the Archmage Satoshi Nakamoto cast a powerful spell that sparked the creation of Bitcoin, leveraging the previously discovered blockchain technology. Blockchain provided a way to store and transfer value person-to-person, in effect removing the need for a middle-man. This was made possible through the existing force of the internet – a force that had first enabled global communication only a couple of decades earlier.

How Blockchain Technology Changed Everything

Blockchain was first perceived as nothing but a mystery to most of the world’s population. It’s abstract design took some time to explain to the general public. However, before long people began to understand the inherent potential within this new form of technology. Once the basic principles were understood,  blockchain superiority when compared to the legacy technology was clear to all. By leveraging this new tool, humanity was able to bring about the structural changes within our societies that were needed to ensure survival.

In the early years following Satoshi’s inception, only the most far-seeing individuals were able to grasp the possibilities granted by this new form of technology. Those who were able to do so were guided by their curiosity and their willingness to learn and adapt. The most exceptional began to employ blockchain technology to solve the greatest pressing problems of the time. Over the ages, their creations evolved into mighty entities far more powerful than their creators could ever have imagined.

Our legacy world, with its inconsistent structures, driven by centralized corruption and predestined for failure, finally started to collapse, while the newly created entities found their ecological niches, stitching together the wounds caused by the preceding system and emerging from the chaos in the end, triumphant.

How We Learned to Live in Peaceful Collaboration

Guarded by their distributed communities, the blockchain based entities were able to persist during the unwavering attacks of the centralized legacy world, furthering their integration throughout our civilization.

And while old structures crumbled or were destroyed, the values connected to the emerging entities took hold and flourished within a reformed organization of the human species.

The nature of the new entities was that of a collaborative environment driven by consensus, and that quickly led to obvious benefits for all.

In experiencing this new form of technology in more and more aspects of our lives, we began to see and understand the immensity of the possibilities and advantages opening up to us, as opposed to the monolithic structures that previously had been designed to reign over us.

With further adoption of blockchain technology came a new awareness of our need to live in harmony within a grander scheme of things. We realized that our progress as a species rested on revitalized and re-validated, but long long suppressed, ideals of basic decency. Facilitated through these novel consensus-driven networks we found our way back to a human ecology that was driven by collaboration rather than division. This ecology engendered trust, replacing the millenia-long feelings of distrust, and this in turn encouraged a way of life geared towards harmony and peace rather than war.

The Exploration of Space

Our peaceful and collaborative form of living resulted in an exponential increase of our species’ ability to analyze, manage, and create knowledge in all its forms. It was not long before our natural tendency to explore the unknown led to the development of new infrastructures, and we spread out across the solar system and beyond, yearning to connect with the Universal Spirit that had found incarnation within the material worlds of our own galaxy

When we encountered previously unknown species on our galactic expeditions, such species were often grateful for the exchange of knowledge that we initiated. Everyone involved learned so much about the universe we live in. Those that were not keen on collaboration had their reasons and we left them in peace, but with an invitation to come back to us anytime if they were looking to collaborate.

An Intergalactic Encounter

It has been billions of years since Satoshi’s initial inception and many things have changed and evolved. Collaborative-driven decentralized networks and communities, due to their adaptive and harmonic design, have gradually expanded across the galaxy and been implemented in many ways within the immense diversity of planets and celestial bodies of the Milky Way. A galaxywide understanding has been reached regarding the path to happiness. It is a peaceful way of living based on mutual collaboration.

This has led to further strengthening of the individual Chains that have over time developed thier own spirit manifestations. Each such manifestation is unique, carrying with it specific attributes that are in harmony with their evolving environment and thus ensuring continued peaceful, positive change.

The Grand Stage: Collision of Intergalactic Cultures

Now we must prepare for a great event. An event that that may greatly influence our surroundings. Our own galaxy is about to collide with our intergalactic neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. Observations have shown that the galactic environment within Andromeda is driven by an evolutionary concept totally contrary to our own values. Values that we have carefully guarded for so many millions of years.

Andromeda has undergone an evolutionary process quite the opposite of our own – a process that has led to the ultimate centralization:  A single dictator rules the entire galaxy. All territories are under the Dictator’s control. All species suppressed. The Dictator will not stop with Andromeda. A thirst for power and desire to rule will make the Dictator try to claim ownership of our own peaceful galaxy in a pursuit of a megalomaniacal goal of conquering the entire universe.

Resolutely following our core principles we are very open to peaceful cooperation with Andromeda but we will under no circumstances tolerate any threats to our own harmonious environment. A new Age is approaching that will lead to a clash of intergalactic cultures, cultures that could not be more divergent. And we are prepared to defend our heritage at all costs.

We invite you to join our path for keeping the galaxy decentralized and welcome everyone aboard on this intergalactic journey.
