League of Ancients INO on Equinox

Don’t miss the chance to get an NFT Capsule

Another phenomenal opportunity is coming to Equinox on 11 Dec 2021, when Nox will be bringing NFTs from the highly anticipated blockchain game, League of Ancients, to the Equinaut community.

Built on Binance Smart Chain, League of Ancients (LOA) is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) NFT game inspired by DOTA2 and League of Legends. Ten players are thrust into the Ancient Realm tile set map, where they engage in an epic 5v5 team battle. The map is divided into two sides; the Luminous and the Dark Souls. The objective of the game is to destroy the opposing team’s Beacon of Power and claim total victory.

LOA aspires to create an engaging community with a thriving economy, focusing on Free-to-Play and Play-to-Earn mechanics by leveraging blockchain technology.

Some of the features of the game include:

NFT Skin Ownership

• Hero skins are stored securely on the blockchain

NFT Marketplace

• Trade hero skins or fuse them together to get greater rewards.

NFT Staking

• Increase your $LOA token yields by holding onto your NFT skins.

LOA’s model is a zero-barrier entry model, meaning anyone can play and progress in the game with no upfront costs required. With this model, LOA’s aim is to transform the eSports scene so everybody can earn like a professional gamer.

The League of Ancients Initial NFT Offering (INO)

During the Mad Moon’s destruction in the Ancient Realm of LOA, fragments of mysterious artifacts crashed upon the planet. Kingdoms have since fought for centuries to claim these artifacts and the power they contain.

Lucky for us, NOX has brought some of these back to Equinox to share with the community.

The artifacts are called Capsules, and they are the only way to access NFT skins of different rarities. We’ll be offering the three Capsule types at the following prices and quantities:

GENESIS Capsule — Unlocks skins of Immortal rarity

• 6 Capsules at $1,100 each ($6,600 raise)

ALPHA Capsule — Unlocks skins of Mythical, Legendary, and Champion rarities

• 50 Capsules at $330 each ($16,500 raise)

BETA Capsule — Unlocks skins of Basic, Epic, and Elemental rarities

• 1800 Capsules at $33 each ($59,400 raise)

The Capsules give users early access to NFT skins and a head start over other players, who will have to wait for the full NFT drop and game launch. So, get onboard now if you want to dominate your opponents and become a League of Ancients champion!

About the League of Ancients Pools

We’ve broken the traditional IDO mold and become the first NFT-based launchpad to ensure safety, transparency, and gamified participation for IDO and INO offerings.

We will be taking a snapshot on 11 Dec 2021 at 5:00 am UTC to capture the list of eligible Equinox NFT holders who have signed up, completed KYC, and confirmed their participation. After the snapshot, we will then run our lottery to determine who will get access.

Lottery winners will be announced on 11 Dec 2021 at 9:00 am UTC.

To be included in the snapshot, you must go to the pools page and click the ‘Confirm’ button for the NFT you hold. The MetaMask wallet holding your NFT must be connected to the Binance Smart Chain network. If you fail to complete this step before the snapshot, you will not be added to the lottery and could miss out on participating in the LOA INO.

4. Confirm Your Participation
5. Join the Corresponding Pool for Your Equinox NFT
6. Purchase Your LOA NFT
7. Wait for NFT Airdrop Distribution

Let’s look at these steps in more detail below.

Step 1 — Sign Up at Equinox.Fund

We recommend you sign up at Equinox well ahead of time to ensure you can log in and connect your wallet before the pools open.

Go to Equinox.fund, click ‘Go to Equinox Launchpad,’ then click the ‘Log in’ button.

Click the ‘Sign Up’ link at the bottom of the pop up box.

Enter your email address and new password. Click ‘Continue.’

That’s it! You’re now signed up and ready for KYC.

Please note: The Equinox site has recently migrated to a new Login/Password authentication process. If you’re an existing user, you will need to click on ‘Log In,’ enter the email address you used to sign up to Equinox, then follow the instructions in the email to create a new password.

You can refer to our previous article here for more information.

Step 2 — Complete KYC

After you’ve signed up for the website, a ‘Complete KYC’ button will appear at the top right corner of the screen. Click the button.

In order to increase trust and fairness in the Equinox platform, we need to uniquely identify you and your email address. Please prepare your passport or ID card.

When you’re ready, click ‘Start Your KYC.’

Click the ‘Verify Me’ button.

Choose your language, then click ‘Start.’

Check the box to agree to the terms, then click ‘Continue.’

Prepare your selfie video using the camera on your mobile phone or computer, then follow the instructions on the screen. If you’re having trouble with your mobile, try a computer, and vice versa.

Next, select the origin country and type of document to be scanned in for identification, then follow the instructions on screen. Please make sure you take a clear, high-quality photo or scan of your passport or ID, so all information is easily readable.

Once you have completed this stage, click ‘Confirm,’ then leave your browser open and wait for the verification. It may take 20–30 minutes for KYC verification to be completed.

Once you get confirmation, your KYC is complete! You are now ready to participate in Equinox IDOs and INOs.

Step 3 — Purchase Equinox NFT on Liquidifty

To buy your NFT, go to the Equinox.Fund website, log in, and connect your MetaMask wallet.

Click the ‘Get Started’ button at the top right or navigate to the LOA Pools page.

Select the Equinox NFT you want to purchase. The link directs you to the Equinox shop on Liquidifty. Double-check that the NFTs are owned by @Equinox to ensure they’re not fake tokens.

Make sure your MetaMask wallet is connected to Binance Smart Chain, then use BNB to complete the purchase.

Holding an Equinox NFT is the only way to get access to the IDOs and INOs, so head over and get yours before they’re gone!

Step 4 — Confirm Your Participation

Before the participation snapshot on 11 Dec 2021 at 5:00 am UTC, log in to the Equinox.fund website with your email address and password.

Connect the MetaMask wallet holding your Equinox NFT. Make sure it’s connected to the Binance Smart Chain Network.

Navigate to the Equinox LOA Pools page, then confirm your NFT and desire to participate in the INO by clicking the ‘Confirm’ button.

After you click the ‘Confirm’ button, you’ll see a green message that says Participation confirmed. You will now be included in the snapshot and eligible to participate in the lottery for allocation access.

Step 5 — Join a Pool

The funding is happening on the Binance Smart Chain network, so make sure you have your MetaMask connected to the correct network, with enough BNB for transaction costs and BUSD to pay for your LOA NFT.

Pools will open for lottery winners on Monday 11 Dec 2021 at 11:00 am UTC.

At the time of the INO, head to Equinox.fund, go to the launchpad, then log in and connect your MetaMask wallet holding the Equinox NFT. Make sure it is connected to the Binance Smart Chain network.

Once your wallet is connected, the ‘Join Pool’ button will be highlighted for your eligible pool. Remember, your pool is determined by the NFT you hold, so you need to be logged in and have the wallet holding your NFT connected to the website before the ‘Join Pool’ button will work.

Click ‘Join Pool’ and select the LOA NFT you want to purchase. Click ‘Submit’ and follow the MetaMask prompts to approve the transaction.

You have now joined the pool and purchased your NFT!

Step 6 — Purchase Your League of Ancients NFT

Select the Capsule you want to purchase and pay for it using BUSD. The available selection will be based on the lottery and on which NFTs are still available when you access the pools.

Step 7 — Wait for Airdrop NFT Distribution

The LOA NFT distribution is happening on the Binance Smart Chain at a later date. Stay tuned to Equinox and LOA socials for more information.

Congratulations! You’ve taken part in the League of Ancients Equinox INO. You’re an early adopter of an epic project and have become an important part of crypto history!
