The First Collectible Combat Strategy Game to Launch on Assembly
Not only is distributed ledger technology (DLT) revolutionizing the world of finance; it is well on its way to conquering the gaming sector. With more than $3 billion total value locked in 2021 alone and highly optimistic growth predictions for the next few years, crypto gaming aims to take over a large market share of the legacy gaming sector. But due to the inherent issues of scalability and gas fees in monolithic blockchains, crypto gaming still faces functionality limitations. IOTAs’ highly scalable, feeless base layer, in combination with the unique features of the Assembly network, promises to become a game-changer in this regard.
Therefore we are pleased to announce that VolksMythica, a collectible combat strategy game currently being built on IOTA, is gearing up to bring play-to-earn to the recently-announced Assembly network at launch.
About Volks Mythica
Welcome to Volks Mythica, where ancient folk tales and myths meet Web3 through an NFT collectible play-to-earn game.
As a player in Volks Mythica, you earn rewards by using your unique NFT characters, called “Volks”, to collect items and battle other players. Volks are at the heart of Volks Mythica and fully tradable NFTs living on the IOTA Tangle. They also make use of one of the most exciting features of IOTA’s unique NFT Tokenization framework: the possibility for NFTs to own NFTs. This feature allows the addition of NFTs to “Volks” to upgrade skills and abilities providing versatile expansion features.
In Volks Mythica, every Volks character is an NFT and so is every item, including swords, shields, ritual objects, and more. Your Volks NFT character owns a set of these NFT items, which you can use in epic battles or quests.
By exploring the Volks Mythica world, you can collect more NFT items that expand the features and abilities of your Volks NFT character. In the “breeding” process, your NFTs can be combined with $JADE token crystals that you collect or buy during the game. You will be able to create new and unique Volks NFT characters in this breeding process. These super-powered NFT Volks enable you to access new features and regions in the mythological world of Volks Mythica.
Another exciting feature of VolksMythica will be in-game NFT trading, which will allow players to earn rewards if they collect high-powered NFT items or create especially powerful new Volks through the breeding functionality. Those highly skilled NFT characters may become incredibly valuable for other gamers, and a flourishing market is envisioned to arise.
Volks Mythica is powered by its native $VOLK governance token and $JADE utility token, which come with multiple reward opportunities such as staking NFTs and potential bonus airdrops.
Volks Mythica is brought to you by the Kami Labs team. Together, the team brings multiple years of experience in game development, DLT, and visual and motion design to the table and has the expertise to accomplish the challenging fusion of gaming and DLT.

We are excited about this addition to our ecosystem and can’t wait to battle community members with our own Volks collection.
About Assembly
Assembly (www.assembly.sc) is designed as a parallelized multi-chain network of blockchains offering sharded, composable smart contracts, anchored into the feeless IOTA DAG protocol. Assembly’s sharded multi-chain nature will provide flexibility, scalability, and interoperability as a smart contract network for mainstream innovation and mass adoption. It will do so by offering flexible smart contract execution fees, fast and secure smart contract execution, trustless and feeless native asset transfers across utility chains, full customization of utility chains, composability of dApps, compatibility with the Ethereum virtual machine and other VMs in the future.
In Assembly, anyone will be enabled to launch their own smart contract chain as a utility chain, offering flexible customization of execution fees and incentive structures for validators. Any Assembly utility chain will be overseen by the open, permissionless, decentralized and dynamic Assembly validator pool, executing and validating smart contracts deployed to the utility chains. Validators can be requested by utility chains from the Assembly root chain using an open marketplace. Validators contributing to the security of the Assembly root chain or utility chains will be rewarded with the network’s native token, ASMB, and potentially additional tokens the utility chains might create and award to validators.
