Buy, sell, or RENT? Announcing Nyan Heroes’ Partnership with IQ Protocol

Sending your Nyans on expeditions was only the tip of the iceberg — now look forward to extra earning by renting out your Nyans as part of the in-game open marketplace, made possible with IQ Protocol, a leading open-source and collateral-less protocol for digital asset rentals. We are proud to announce that we’re teaming up with IQ Protocol, to open up access for more players to enter Nekovia for all nyans!

As teased in our previous AMAs, Nyan Heroes is building up an in-game lending and borrowing system for players. By integrating the lending and borrowing infrastructure into the game, we can reduce the resources needed for manual processing of these transactions, improving the experience for guilds and players.

Imagine a player goes on a vacation. Knowing they won’t be playing the game during this time, they can lend out their Genesis Guardian NFT to earn passive returns. What’s more, players can choose their desired lending rate and duration. Let’s say they decide on a 7-day duration, with a 50–50 reward split. Any interested borrower on the marketplace can accept that offer to use the lender’s NFT. After 7 days, the rewards will be automatically distributed and the NFT will be returned to the lender.

Sounds like a dream? IQ Protocol comes in to fulfill that reality.

About IQ Protocol

IQ Protocol is a decentralized money market for digital asset renting and on-chain subscriptions. With this DeFi framework, players can rent in a risk-free and collateral-less manner, benefitting both lenders and borrowers. IQ Protocol helps to unlock greater access for players, new use cases, and gaming experiences.

Why We Choose IQ Protocol As Our Partner

We want to keep our promise to our community to build a seamless game experience. IQ Protocol stands out. It has successfully completed a seed raise and was a star speaker at Solana Breakpoint!

IQ Protocol will be used to power Nyan Heroes’ in-game economy. Beyond buying, selling, and trading NFTs, IQ Protocol allows players to rent them out to others. Players’ experiences will no longer be limited to the assets that they own. They can try out these new assets with different functionalities and truly form a lively and collaborative community! This can also be upsized to the guild level, enabling guilds to rent out NFTs while still fully retaining ownership of the NFTs.

How do you rent without collateral?

A wrapped version of the original NFT is minted then issued to the borrower and burned after the agreed duration expires. This wrapped NFT carries all the same attributes of the original asset and is backed by that asset. The Nyan NFT owner can sleep soundly knowing that their original asset is safely tucked in the smart contract. You can also choose whether you want your in game asset to accrue XP and improve, or maintain its original state. Whether it’s the renting of featured mechs or signature collections of skins, weapons, and other items, you can count on IQ Protocol to keep your asset secure!

Final Thoughts

Nyan Heroes is committed to building a AAA game with exciting gameplay and a fully featured marketplace for all players. With this partnership, we look forward to unlocking greater gameplay experiences and rewarding our players in 2022!
