It has also been confirmed that multiple rewards will be customized to the owner’s own Ether Avatar. An example of a custom-made reward has already been teased, a physical rug based on Ether #2731:

Ether plans to showcase more rewards during Season 1 of Raids, such as but not limited to stats, squad leaders, and synergies. The synergy of teams determines the potential success of your Raid.

The Vision

The trailer linked above was created internally, directed by founder VIII, and produced along with 2 other team members in less than 3 weeks. Meanwhile, other team members worked on revamping the site and introducing one of the first metadata-responsive sites.

The website will change it's colour scheme and UI based on various metadata such as the race and background colour of the user's Ether character.

We asked founder VIII about his thoughts on their new launch:

"I'm proud of the entire team for making and delivering such a high-quality experience. This is one of the first (if not the first) sites in the world where the entire UI changes depending on metadata.

I truly believe the gamification of our staking system is extremely fun and exciting too - and more complex than the usual stuff we've seen before."

Anime Meta

The Ether team has been producing these things while going through a major restructuring within the team itself.

They are in the midst of the popular anime trend with Azuki launching their plans after recently teasing a token, anime and announcing their major plans over 2024.

Do you think they will achieve their goal and make a wave in the industry this year? Let us know!
