Cartel Performance Report and Roadmap

When the @Oneup-cartel launched in December, there we had no idea on what would happen. We were expecting that there would be some interest, but we never expected that we would get so much love and support from our community. We are within our 5th month and are approaching 1000 people in our Discord server. Let's have a look at what we have achieved so far.

50k USD worth of Cartel Sold or Exchanged

After the first three months were over we stopped selling the CARTEL token for now. Over 5,000 CARTEL tokens, which is worth over $50,000 USD have been issued. The vast majority has been sold directly over the counter or on the market for a ~15% premium, while a small share was issued via asset swaps. We want to thank everyone who has taken a chance on the Cartel. We promise to do everything in our power to reach our goals.

Now lets talk about our earnings.

Cartel Earnings

Games

As we are still in an early phase of accumulating assets, we have been taking profits only from two games so far: Pegaxy and Bemil.

All other game rewards are currently still being compounded. It is better for the Cartel bank to build our holdings in those other games further up before we start taking profits.

From Staking and Dividend Tokens

Cartel Investments

Games Investment

The Cartel before any investment did a feasibility of the game and and its founders. In the early stages (the first 3 months) of the Cartel, emphasis was placed on the potential of the project as opposed to the ROI.

We will for the next 3 months be moving towards a more profit oriented strategy. We will be focusing on the ROI a game gives out, along with the degree of difficulty to make a profit. Games like PsyberX, WOO, Muterra and ChiFiBots are still yet to be released.

Off-Chain Defi

As this is a Hive project we chose to invest among the projects of Hive. In this case we placed a interest in depositing a majority of the Cartel investment to support the Polycub project.

Total currently worth about $11,500.

HIVE

You can also see our investments within the pools of Hive engine. We are a supporter of multiple projects and have done our best to spread the investment between them. We hope that investing in these projects will help the Cartel in the future.

NFTs

Games & Operators

Operators for vacant position will be decided soon.

Curation Accounts

We are now proud owners of 19 tribes each with active delegation from the community.

We have a team of over 20 curators, lead by @trashyomen, plus a sophisticated bot system for HIVE and Discord to keep track of everything.

Roadmap

Dividends

As you can see from our asset list above, we are not ready to start any dividend payouts yet. Hence the expected vote for the start of the dividends was skipped out of necessity. When we have finished our sixth month, we will evaluate anew and in the meantime continue building amazing stuff for our community, to bring more value to CARTEL holders.

Games

We are very excited for what is coming up ahead. For our games and operators we are going to be waiting until the bear market betters out before we begin withdrawing funds to start giving out dividends. For upcoming games like WOO, PsyberX and Muterra we are examining the situation and will decide to open the packs/crates accordingly.

Splinterlands, Farming Tales, Hashkings, Dcrops and Dcity all need the market to get better before we can even think of taking profit out.

Rising star, Exode and Skyweaver will need even more time, probably around the 4th quarter of 2022 for those profits to be more significant.

Bemil at the hands of @daddyspardan is by far the most responsibly driven account. We will be monitoring it closely and we may go for extra accounts if needed.

Gods unchained for us is on the edge. We are still waiting for more positive news before we decide to invest in the game.

Axie Infinity and Cryptoraiders are the highest potential games for us. We are looking for suitable operators before we define a road map for these games.

Hive Curator

We are now curating for 19 tribes. The next phase will be a HIVE delegation system, so we can grow our HIVE Power and give higher HIVE upvotes. We are working on a plan which does not have a major impact on the inflation of the ONEUP Token.

Telegram and tip.cc

We are in discussion with tip.cc to ensure that the tipping services for ONEUP in Discord and Telegram are simultaneously ready. As currently the Telegram version of the bot is still in development, we are waiting for its release to strike two-in-one.

Gaming Magazine

We are already doing what we consider journalistic investigation into blockchain games and as such we believe it is time for us to release our own magazine. What this exactly mean is yet to be decided but you have already tasted a glimpse of our content when we started the Cartel. We are looking into our options which include our own Cartel frontend based on HIVE and ONEUP.

Special thanks to some of our most engaged family members. I wanted to list and ping you at first but I would probably miss half of you as we are many. You are all family!
