Hello everyone! This is IKEDA-D director of Menya Dragon Ramen.
Today, we would like to explain the January rewards and provide an example of the upcoming game-playing cycle.
We apologize for the delay in making this announcement, as we have taken our time to ensure that the reward design is flawless.


■Adjustment of the distribution of DEAPbill
The distribution of DEAPbill will be adjusted from 2024.
The current distribution of DEAPbill as rewards for Ramen sales scores will be replaced with the distribution of Lottery tickets and in-game items. Additionally, DEAPbill will be included in the ranking rewards for the RBA.
This will create a clear separation of rewards for each function, with NFT rewards for Ramen sales and DEAPbill for RBA.

The implementation of the NFT Mixer Lottery (to be implemented in February) and the increased distribution of Premium Lottery Tickets are expected to increase the liquidity of NFT.
By increasing liquidity, we aim to build a cycle where customers can earn DEAPcoin by increasing opportunities to trade their NFT on PlayMining NFT.
*A detailed explanation of the NFT Mixer Lottery specifications is provided in the latter half of this Director's Letter.

Adjustments will be made to the specifications from January to enable a cycle where customers can earn DEAPcoin indirectly through rewards from Ramen sales scores.
The flowchart below provides an example of the new customer-centred cycle.



Regarding the various specification adjustments, we are currently working diligently on them and will disclose this information when we are able to make further announcements.

Due to the recent price fluctuations of DEAPcoin, we plan to adjust rewards on a monthly basis, particularly for tier rewards and ranking rewards that distribute DEAPbill.
Reward adjustments will be fine-tuned to reflect game sales and lead to more stable management.
Additionally, by designing the rewards to be converted into Japanese yen, adjustments will be made so that the management team can withstand fluctuations in the DEAPcoin price.
We hope you understand that rewards in DEAPbill may increase or decrease due to price fluctuations, but we will work to ensure sound operations so that game sales can be returned to you.


■Reset of total Ramen sales score
As of 3:59 (JST) on 1 January, the December DEAP rewards will end and will be replaced by the new January DEAP rewards.
Please note that the [Total Ramen Sales Score] earned in December will be reset.


■Rewards for Ramen sales in January
Rewards for [Total Ramen Sales Score] in January are as follows.
From January, DEAPbill have been abolished and Premium Lottery Ticket, in-game items and the newly introduced NFT Mixer Lottery Ticket are added to the rewards.
The calculation is based on the DEAPcoin equivalent of each, and has been adjusted to ensure that there is no significant gap in value between the DEAPbills and the DEAPcoin equivalent.

・Aggregation period
1st January 2024, 4:00 (JST) – 1st February 2024, 3:59 (JST)








■ DEAP rewards for Ramen Battle Arena
The Ramen Battle Arena will continue to distribute [Tier Rewards] in DEAPbills. The list is shown as below.


The [Ranking Reward] is different for each tier and is shown in the chart below.







■About the NFT Mixer Lottery
We are currently developing a new feature called [NFT Mixer Lottery] to be implemented in early February.
This feature will allow users to burn NFT Employee to obtain a specified number of [NFT Mixer Lottery Tickets] (This action is called [NFT Employee Transfer] in-game term).
In addition, some Skill Items will be returned at the time of burn, so it is possible to purchase NFT that has already been trained at PlayMining NFT, burn them, and acquire the Skill Items.
The number of [NFT Mixer Lottery Tickets] that can be acquired is expected to be as follows.

50 tickets for R NFT
200 tickets for SR NFT
1,500 tickets for SSR NFT
4,500 tickets for UR NFT

The number of [NFT Mixer Lottery Tickets] required for the [NFT Mixer Lottery] will be as follows.
NFT Mixer Lottery will always yield NFT of the same rarity or higher. With a low probability, the user obtains an NFT of a higher rarity.

R NFT Mixer Lottery requires 100 tickets
SR NFT Mixer Lottery requires 400 tickets
SSR NFT Mixer Lottery requires 3,000 tickets
UR NFT Mixer Lottery requires 9,000 tickets

We hope that the implementation of this feature will increase the liquidity of NFT and move toward increasing the number of NFT purchases.
We hope to achieve a game-playing cycle that includes PlayMining NFT, which will result in the acquisition of DEAPcoin even for Work Reward of cooking Ramen.


■Conclusion
We are currently making adjustments and conducting studies to ensure the NFT and DEAPcoin cycle works effectively.
To achieve this, we have decided to include customer transactions on PlayMining NFT as well as in the game.
We will continue to refine rewards and specifications to enhance the gaming experience for our customers.
Additionally, we are working on improving the specifications of the Succession and Skill Hidden Book features to make them more attractive.

We are preparing to hold an AMA in January next year to explain the cycle and management policy, including this specification adjustment.
We hope you will be waiting for it as well.

Thank you for your continued support of Menya Dragon Ramen.
