Beginner’s Guide to DeFi Kingdoms — How to Start Playing DeFi Kingdoms

New to DeFi Kingdoms and wondering how to get started and what your options are? This guide is for you. There are a lot of great community members that have made some awesome resources and I consider this a bit of a compendium and high level outline of all of those resources to get you started on your way.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

This guide is provided for educational purposes about the game DeFi Kingdoms only, and is not financial advice. If you are seeking financial advice, please contact a financial adviser. As always, do your own research.

BRIEF HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF THE GAME

Launch (August 2021)

So much has happened since the game initially launched in August 2021, but let me try to summarize it as concisely as possible.

The game launched in August 2021 on the Harmony blockchain (RIP Harmony) with a realm called Serendale. The vision and plan had been laid out, but the only features initially available were a DeFi farm. That was soon followed by release of NFT heroes, followed by use for those heroes (leveling up, questing, summoning, etc.). There are still a lot of features that people are waiting for (will discuss those more below), but the amount of features that have been built in the past year of a bear market has been impressive in my opinion.

Launch of First Cross Chain Expansion on Avalanche Subnet (March 2022)

The concept of DFK has always been to be a cross chain game. DFK successfully launched that with the branch to an Avalanche subnet, their own chain called DFK Chain, naming this new realm Crystalvale. This chain launched on March 30, 2022, amidst ongoing development on Harmony, and also only launched with a DeFi farm. This slowed development down on Harmony a bit, and the same features were rolled out on DFK Chain

Departure from Harmony (Decision in Summer 2022)

I don’t speak on behalf of the DFK team, but from what I and many other community members saw, was that as the collapse of the markets began to unroll with the Terra Luna collapse, followed by bankruptcies of Celsius and Voyageur, Harmony got hit specifically hard by the Horizon Bridge hack. The Horizon bridge was how essentially all ETH based tokens were bridged to the Harmony chain. 100M in ETH-based tokens were hacked, creating a massive depeg of those wrapped assets on Harmony. This effectively gutted the Harmony defi ecosystem (which, in my opinion, remains crippled to date, RIP Harmony). This led to the cancellation of grants, including the large amounts promised to DFK. DFK had to explore alternatives, since, even as the golden egg of Harmony (constituting at time upwards of 95% of all Harmony transaction traffic) Harmony had to pull its grants and promises. During this time and since the launch of Cyrstalvale, markets got hit bad, and Jewel especially got hit bad. Price tanked dramatically and a large portion of the community seemed to have zoned out or exited entirely. There was all sorts of attacks on the team (which when coupled with a bear market always results in downward price pressure) and a lot of negativity in the space.

I’ve been astonished, however, that the team continued to build. Every week they held their AMAs, sometimes they sounded pretty beat down, and they continued to deliver. Call them what you’d like, but I for one have been impressed with their fortitude and resolve to continue building in this environment.

Decision to move Serendale to Klaytn (August 2022)

Throughout the summer the team worked on building out all of the Serendale features onto Crystalvale, while also working on potential equity raises for Kingdom Studios. While they didn’t do an equity raise, they did end up finding a new home for Serendale, which they believe will put them in a position of power going forward. Link here for that announcement. During that time they also essentially turned off Harmony/Serendale, and made it an outpost so that people could still access their DFK assets and bridge them over to DFK Chain, all while building out the rest of the features on DFK chain and also introducing some cool new ones, such as Dark Summoning (more on that below).

Now, we approach December 7, the launch date of Serendale on Klaytn. Crystalvale will continue to be the additional realm, with most, if not all, features being made available in both realms.

With that brief history out of the way, let’s jump into how to play the game.

1 — Setting Up a MetaMask Wallet to Interface with the DFK Game

The team has indicated that they will be integrating the Kaikas wallet DeFi Kingdoms so that users on Klaytn can interface with the game. That should be imminent and announced separately by the DFK team> will try to link that once available, but in the meantime, the majority of users use Metamask on DFK Chain and can also use Metamask for Klaytn.

Because this is more of a technical threshold matter so I won’t go into much detail here and will instead direct you to the many other great guides out there, but the gist is that if you want to play DFK you have to (1) have a Metamask wallet, (2) have the wallet connected to the DFK Chain or Klaytn blockchain network using a custom RPC, and (3) have some gas in your wallet to pay for gas fees.

Gas for DFK Chain: $JEWEL

Gas for Klaytn: $KLAY

Keep in mind that to interact with the DeFi Kingdoms App you’ll need a supported wallet. Most everyone uses Metamask, but I suspect that the majority of Klaytn users will use Kaikus. Details on Kaikus integration I suspect will be announced by DFK separately here in the very near term. I will try to update this with those details once available.

What this means is that you’ll either need the Metamask web browser extension installed on a computer or the Metamask mobile app installed.

1.1 — Setting up DFK Chain on Metamask

If on a web browser, just make sure you are logged in to your Metamask wallet extension and then go to chainlist.org.

Once there you can type “DFK” in the search networks bar and DFK Chain will pop up.

Make sure your wallet is connected (top right) and then simply click on one of the two RPCs there by using the “Add to Metamask” button.

Clicking on that will then ask if you want to switch networks to DFK Chain.
Going forward, you can switch between DFK Chain and other networks you interface with on Metamask by just clicking on the networks drop down.

If doing this on Metamask mobile, you’ll need to use the in-app browser for Metamask when going to Chainlist. Make sure that you connect your wallet, and then proceed with the steps.

***MAKE SURE YOU ARE ACTUALLY USING CHAINLIST.ORG*** AND NOT SOME OTHER WEBSITE.

1.2 — Setting up Klaytn on Metamask

You can repeat the same process to add Klaytn, or you can follow the below instructions from Klaytn’s medium page.

For getting Klaytn set up on Metamask — Klaytn has produced a medium article on getting that set up:

How to add Klaytn to MetaMask

Great news for MetaMask wallet users — the Klaytn network is now officially supported! To start storing and…

From there, it’s just a matter of sending some KLAY into that Metamask wallet for gas to start interacting with Dapps on Klaytn network. Typically this is done by buying some KLAY on a centralized exchange, and then withdrawing it from there to your Metamask wallet address.

1.3 — Getting Gas to your wallet

For Klay, simply transfer KLAY from another wallet you already have, or if you don’t have any, but some KLAY from a centralized exchange and then withdraw it from there to your Metamask wallet.

For $JEWEL since its not on centralized exchanges, other than one small exchange that listed it on its own with very little liquidity, the best option in my opinion is to buy some AVAX, and then send that AVAX to DFK Chain using Synapse Protocol’s bridge. They will give you some $JEWEL dust as part of that, which you can then use to sell the AVAX in game on DFK Chain for other DFK assets like Jewel.

2 — Things to do in DFK Right?

Now that you have a wallet that is connected to the DFK website — you can set up a profile, just select a profile pic and a profile name and enter Gaia and you’ll be welcomed by this beautiful pixel art world overlay (depending on which realm you are in)

Each of the named areas are zones where you can interact with the game.

So what kinds of things can you do right now? Here’s a high level summary and I’ll break them down more below — but most of you reading this are probably interested in how to start using the “game” aspect (which right now revolves around the NFTs).

Single Stake Power Tokens ($CRYSTAL in Crystalvale and $JADE in Serendale) for Passive Rewards and for in-game power ups: Just buy some power token in the applicable realm and stake it at the Jeweler to earn passive rewards in the form of additional power tokens and access to in game power ups.
DeFi Liquidity Pools: Earn Jewel by being a liquidity provider for the in-game DEX (but note that it's a DEX just like any other DEX (i.e. Uniswap) you don’t have to be playing the game to use it). Keep in mind its not just a DEX for the game, its a DEX for anyone on that chain. Back when Serendale was live on Harmony, it had the highest TVL of any Harmony DEX by many multiples.
Heroes: Heroes allow you to (1) Summon, (2) Run quests (currently all passive quests), (3) Play the mini-game Duels, and (4) participate in third party apps that use the NFTs and tokens, such as, (as of the time of this update) DFK Fight Klub and DFK Arena. The real culminating experience will be when full in-game PVP and PVE are released, which DFK is working with Wisdom Labs, an affiliate of Wisdom Gaming, to help develop.
Pets: These are hatched from eggs, obtained from doing profession quests, or won from raffle tickets obtained from Duels matches. These hatch into NFTs that have their owns stats and will eventually be equipped onto Hero NFTs for bonuses.
Land: Not much is known about land utility other than that its been said it will be linked to guilds in a deep way and that it will be a fundamental part of the world play eventually.

I’ll break each of these down in more detail, but first things first, you are going to need some Jewel to get started doing any of the in game fun.

2.1. — Buying the Power Tokens ($JADE/$CRYSTAL) or $JEWEL

You’ll need the power token of the specific realm to do pretty much anything in the game, here’s how you can buy some. You can find the contract addresses for these in the DFK Discord.

Power Token for Crystalvale (DFK Chain blockchain):

Power Token for Serendale (Klaytn blockchain):

For purposes of illustration I’ll run through these steps on Serendale, since most Crystalvale users will already be very familiar with this. The names of the zones, however, are the same between Serendale and Crystalvale.

If in Serendale Next, choose “Central Marketplace” (Crystalvale only has one marketplace)

Next, interact with the Trader:

Next — select a token from your wallet that you will trade for the power Token or $JEWEL, note that it will need to be a token for which there is Liquidity on the DEX. You can see all the various pools for which there is liquidity on DFK Chain right now by going to DexScreener and navigating to Avalanche DFK Chain:

By sorting by volume you can see what trading pairs have liquidity.

For Klaytn — the initial pairings with incentivized liquidity pairing are as follows:

JADE:JEWEL
JADE:KLAY
JADE:AVAX
JADE:USDT
JADE:BTC
JADE:ETH
JEWEL:KLAY
JEWEL:AVAX
JEWEL:USDT
JEWEL:BTC
JEWEL:ETH

But anyone can create a pool with any two tokens that they want, it just won’t be “incentivized” and receive emissions of $JADE.

By clicking “Confirm Swap” it will create a Metamask approval pop up.

After signing that transaction in your wallet you’ll have your power token in your wallet a few moments latter.

2.2 — Single Stake $JEWEL at the Jeweler for Passive Growth

Jewel, unlike the power tokens, is no longer spent directly to do things like summon, level up, etc. Instead it is now the core governance token and fee sharing token with the protocol. By buying and staking Jewel at the Jeweler you can receive cJewel (in Crystalvale) or sJewel (in Serendale) in return. The c/sJewel in turn allows you to receive passive returns in the form additional Jewel, as well as access to power ups.

I won’t get too in depth in this article on how c/sJewel works, but you can read more about it here from DFK’s main medium page:

Jeweler 2.0

What is cJEWEL and sJEWEL?

The Jeweler function used to produce what was called xJewel, but the c/sJewel construct has a lot of benefits, all outlined in the article above.

Suffice it to say, that you get s/cJewel for staking it. You get more s/cJewel depending on how long you stake it for (up to three years). A portion of all power token spend in game (e.g. Jade/Crystal) goes into a wallet, which sells that Jade/Crystal, purchases Jewel, and distributes that to s/cJewel holders.

You can claim your allotted s/cJewel from passively staking this whenever you want and as often as you want by going to the same Jeweler to claim it.

Power Ups

Soon we will be able to start accessing power ups (some hinted to have been bonus XP, bonus stamina recovery) that will make your heroes more powerful in some way and to be able to access them you will need s/cJewel. You wouldn’t spend the s/cJewel, rather you will say “of my X cJewel, I want to allocate 10 to this power up.”

We await further details on this, but hopefully it will be released soon.

Pros and Cons of Staking with the Jeweler (Not financial advice, just my opinion)

Pros:

No risk of impermanent loss.
Voting rights
Rewards and airdrops to people who hold s/cJewel
No time commitment needed — set it and forget it.
No fees to deposit.

Cons:

50% slashing withdrawal fee if you withdraw any time (even one day) before the period you specified when you staked it.
APR returns often not as high as the providing liquidity in the gardens.
Opportunity cost of using the Jewel on things like buying/selling/summoning heroes.

2.3 Gardens — Provide Liquidity for the DFK DEX using the Gardens

Gardens — this is simply what the game refers to for the liquidity staking for the Dex. This has been a part of the game since the very initial stages in August 2021.

The official DeFi Kingdoms also has a great article on Gardening (again the images are from before the Gardens zone artwork revamp, but the concept is still the same). So I won’t get too in depth on HOW you provide liquidity in the gardens but instead I’ll give you some conceptual background and some pros and cons on staking liquidity in the gardens.

Help links on how to provide liquidity in the Gardens:

Inner Grove Youtube Channel Beginner’s Guide to DFK created back for the launch of Crystalvale on DFK Chain

General information on providing liquidity:

Because DFK is also a DEX (decentralized exchange) it has to have a source of liquidity to be able to facilitate all these trades. Like with all DEXs, that liquidity is provided by the people like you and me. How it works is that we say, “Hey, I’ve got some Jewel (or Crystal or Jade) and I’ve also got some AVAX/KLAY/ETH/BTC, I’ll pair them together into a token ($100 worth of Jewel and $100 worth of ETH) and stake it in the DEX and the DEX will use that as a source of liquidity in order to be an automated market maker.”

You are rewarded in two ways by doing so — you get a portion of fees generated by the DEX when trades occur (proportionate to the amount of liquidity you provide compared to the total liquidity provided) AND if you provide liquidity for one of the “incentivized pairs”, you will receive free power tokens (Crystal if in Crystalvale or Jade if in Serendale) that is minted and allocated to liquidity providers as a reward.

These power tokens that are minted and provided to liquidity providers has a system in place to prevent people from just dumping it all and how they do that is that a portion of it is locked depending on when you claim your garden rewards. There is a LOT that I could go into detail on this, but you should really just read the official section of the whitepaper about the Gardens which explains this locking concept very well. The TL/DR on Garden rewards is that you can choose to stake LP tokens and not claim for a long time and have more unlocked Jewel when you claim later on, or you can claim now and consistently at the cost of having a portion of the rewarded Jewel locked up (and you can’t use the locked Jewel on anything in game or otherwise) with the benefit of being able to start putting the unlocked portion to use immediately.

Locked power tokens can be unlocked early via Mining profession quests, and will otherwise unlock linearly over the course of 1 year, starting on the 1 year anniversary of when that token launched.

For Crystal, that means locked Crystal will start unlocked March 30, 2023.

For Jade, that means locked Jade should start unlocking on December 7, 2023.

Gardens Pros/Cons and Tips:

Pros:

Potentially higher APR than single staking $JEWEL.
Flexibility to withhold claiming to get more unlocked when you claim or to claim frequently. The option is yours to fit tor your strategy.
Access to locked tokens, which can then be mined via mining quests.

Cons:

Risk of impermanent loss associated with any sort of liquidity providing.
Power tokens may be subject to fluctuations as different in game events that require in game activity occur. For example, a summoning event might temporarily boost the price of $JADE or $CRYSTAL, but wouldn’t necessarily do so for $JEWEL to the same extent.
There are withdrawal fees so if you might need the funds quickly, think twice before depositing these, 8% if withdrawing in 1 hour, 4% if withdrawing within 1 day of staking, 2% if withdrawing within 3 days of staking 1% if withdrawing within 5 days, 0.5% if within 5 days.
These are not the same as staked in the Jeweler, so staking in the gardens does not qualify you for snapshots/airdrops or give you the right to vote on proposals, with a few exceptions where they have done a snapshot based off your power token holding that is paired in LPs.
The amount of power tokens emitted to liquidity providers goes down over time (and at the same time the ratio of unlocked Jewel to locked Jewel goes up (meaning more unlocked Jewel)), you can see a schedule of the Jewel emission rates for liquidity providers in the DFK Docs Garden page.

Tips:

The withdrawal fee timer is based on when you first deposit liquidity into a pool, so if you deposit more liquidity into the pool, any withdrawal fee for the entire pool of liquidity will be based on the time of your first deposit, not any subsequent deposits (i.e. you deposit $1 into a LP pool then 8 days later deposit $1,000 into the same pool and then later that day you want to withdraw it all, you’d be hit with the 0.5% fee (between 5–14 days) rather than the 4% for withdrawing within 24 hours.
If you find yourself moving in and out of the pools frequently, one thing you can do to remedy (1) above put a small amount of liquidity into the pools you use frequently so that you can deposit into them at a later point and immediately withdraw with little to no fee.

Unstaking your LP: Once you are done in the Gardens and want to unstake your LP tokens and get the two underlying separate tokens back into your wallet you can use this guide from long-time community member Albus to get your tokens back.

2.4 — Tavern/Portal/Quests — Heroes (How to Get a Hero and What to do with it)

Heroes is where most of the game aspects come into play. So how does one get a hero? Either by summoning one themselves (which requiries owning at least one, or by purchasing one through the in-game marketplace, the Tavern).

The heroes have stamina bars, experience bars, HP, MP, attribute points, skill points, rarity, passive and active skills separate from the skill tree points, active and passive genetic traits and more. It’s all on-chain data associated with your NFT as well, so other apps have been able to leverage that data and create third party games using these NFTs. I suspect we will see more and more of that as time goes on.

So how many heroes do you need to play, how do you get your hands on one and what do you do with it once you do? That’s what I’ll highlight here, and then in the next section provide some beginner’s guide with my tips.

How many Heroes do you need to play DFK?

You’ll only need one hero to do the current quests. But the more you have for certain quests, the greater rewards you can receive. Duels (covered more below) uses teams of 1, 3 or 9 heroes. The DFK team has announced recently that for full PVP that is being developed by Wisdom Games, you’ll need a team of three heroes to participate.

Several peeople are running profession quests with hundreds of heroes.

How do you get a Hero?

You have a few options on how to get your first hero.

2.4.1 First — the easiest way is to go to the Tavern and buy one once you have your hand on some Jewel that you bought from the marketplace. The Second way would be to summon a hero (but this requires you to have at least one hero of your own).

The Tavern is the in game marketplace and also the interface to view any hero minted and also send heroes to a specific address for free (if transferring to a friend, for example).

How do you get a Hero? Buy a Hero at the Tavern!

By clicking on the NFT Agent at the Tavern you can (1) buy a hero, (2) sell one of your currently owned heroes or (3) list one of your heroes for hire (you can only rent heroes out for summoning, not quests (for now).

The Tavern buy and sell feature has some really great features where you can filter to exactly what you are looking for. Once you find the hero you want you’ll just select purchase and approve the MetaMask confirmation that comes up.

As of the time of righting this, the floor price of a hero in the Serendale Tavern is 22 $JADE, which at today’s prices is roughtly $5.02.

Tavern Buying Pros/Cons and Tips:

Pros:

You know exactly what you are going to get (there’s not RNG in buying a hero like there is when you pull a hero NFT in summoning)
You can filter and get exactly what you want (I.e. a knight with at least 5 summons with the mining profession gene).

Cons:

You are subject to prices dictated by the market.
You don’t get that exciting feeling of opening a hero crystal — hard to beat the excitement of pulling that hero NFT when you open the crystal to see what you get!

Here are my tips for shopping at the Tavern:

Make sure you always check out how many summons the hero has left! You don’t want to buy a hero with 0 summons left if you are planning to try your hand at summoning.
Make sure you check the generation of the hero. When summoning the cost of Jewel to summon is governed by the Generation of the hero. Essentially when you summon, there is a base cost of the Power Token + 2 for every subsequent summon you do with that hero (read more on this in the next section where I talk about summoning).

How do you get (another) Hero? Buy another or summon your own hero at the Portal!

2.4.2 — Summoning a Hero — Another way to get a hero (and in my opinion the more fun way) is to summon your own hero. ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT SUMMONING YOUR OWN HERO REQUIRES THAT YOU OWN AT LEAST ONE HERO.

Summoning a hero is a two step process and here is what you’ll need:

Summoning Step 1 — A hero in your wallet (either one that you’ve purchased or one that a friend has sent to you using the Tavern send hero feature using the Barkeep)

Summoning Step 2 — Gaia’s tears — you can buy this token from the DEX (i.e. the Marketplace Trader) or you can get them from any quest currently useable (wishing well or any of the four profession quests — I would definitely just do profession quests since the wishing well only gives you tears). You can buy Gaia’s tears just like you would any other crypto on the DEX at the marketplace by importing the address into the DEX and then purchasing using your crypto.

For summoning with a basic hero you need 10 Gaia’s tears for each basic hero (Archer, Monk, Pirate, Thief, Warrior, Knight, Wizard, Priest)

For summoning with advanced heroes you need 40 Gaia’s tears for each advanced hero (Ninja, Summoner, Paladin, Dark Knight)

For summoning with elite heroes you need 70 Gaia’s tears for each advanced hero (Dragoon, Sage)

Summoning Step 3 — Power Token— to pay for the summoning cost. Whenever you summon with a hero, each hero will have an associated Jewel cost that goes along with it. That cost is determined by a base price that depends on the generation of the hero + 2 Jewel for every subsequent summon after its first. Here is a really helpful chart created by community members to illustrate how much of a power token (and Gaia’s tears, a separate NFT) are required to summon.

So, as an example, if you had a Gen 3 and a Gen5 and you were using their first summon — you would have to pay 36+56 Power Token (Either $JADE or $CRYSTAL) (Total of 92 Power Token). As you can see it gets pricy using later generation heroes to summon. Whereas using two Gen1 heroes on their first summons would only cost 32 Power Token (16 + 16).
