Hello fellow Hivians!
As some of you know I've been following the development of a new NFT based FPS game called PsyberX which is being developed by an indie studio called Royal Reptile Studios.
Given there aren't any well known FPS games following this format just yet it will be one of the first of its kind.
Its primary crypto token is called LVL and it is native to Hive which is how I, like many of you, found out about the project.
It is still very early in the process and the studio is just starting to push its token with LVL based airdrops. Unfortunately I've not been able to participate as of yet but I was curious to look into those that have and run some stats. As such, I've queried Hive Engine and looked at the top 150 account holders. Based on my findings I think this project has a TON of room to grow assuming it is successful. Before we get into that though, lets talk about the tokenomics.
The token is fully minted, held primarily by the dev team and has a total supply of 500M tokens. Now plans were made to handle the distribution of the token which can be read in more detail via the dev's token economics post.
The TLDR however:
- 50% sold at market rates to fund raise for the game
- 20% held as corporate treasury to pay out game functions
- 30% will be held as a reserve development fund.
At the time of my post, the development team holds at least 361M tokens within accounts that are easily tied to them. Specifically, I've noticed the accounts saltyreptile, gnzlvhi67, infamous27, and of course psyberx as either owned by the studio or received large amounts of the tokens as a direct transfer/send and likely related to the studio.
This means that the public sale of LVL can only include 111M tokens assuming none of the other major holders are also dev accounts. One thing to note is that the LVL is being distributed slightly differently than some other tokens and that the full 250M (50% of total) being distributed to the public is not via a single buy order and instead the development team drops tokens into supply based on their goals.
saltyreptile dev account removed
There are also some very well known Hive OGs in the top holder list here including balte and abrockman. These guys have a track record for supporting some of the up and coming Hive based projects.
Lately the token has been pumping in value significantly as the dev team has been moving along their roadmap. As a part of their marketplace release one of the primary incentives they have put forth is an airdrop of game NFTs via 'crates' for holding an average of at least 200k tokens or more during the market development phase. Given this phase is mostly wrapped up I've taken a look to see the numbers of how many accounts will be qualifying for the drop. I have heard that the dev team has stated that they will not be dropping assets to their own staff however I'm going to include all accounts for now.
Includes top 150 LVL holders
Based on this we can see that of the top 150 accounts, 103 (assuming dev accounts are included) will qualify for airdropped crates. These 103 accounts will effectively have a massive advantage over standard players in the long run.
1 thing I've found interesting is that some of these 103 accounts are indeed owned by singular individuals. For example the accounts day3 and awaken7 were both funded by the account nextgen622 which is currently #8 on the richlist. Additionally the satren and satren.lvl accounts also appear to be owned by the same individual and hold spots 10 and 72 on the list.
Another interesting stat: If you look at publicly owned tokens only, ie take out the known dev accounts (which currently hold 361M tokens as discussed above), we are left with a token supply of 138,569,000. Of those 138M tokens 104,687,731 are held by 33 unique accounts. In other terms, 33 accounts hold 75% of the tokens current liquidity.
One thing to note is that these accounts % ownership have been dropping steadily over time as more and more people buy into the token both via the devs issuing more of the 250M meant for public sale AND as some of the whales offload some of their excess tokens.
Finally I'll leave you all with the list of accounts currently holding at least 200k LVL. If you'd like to learn more or dive into the PsyberX community check out their discord.

Where can I find the token? I want it. I need it. I want to sell my kidney to get it. I want fps game badd
Well, getting into the CARTEL would give you exposure to it, we own 1 Million LVL. :)
How do I get in?
Check out our latest update post:
https://peakd.com/hive-102223/@flauwy/1up-cartel-is-exploding-over-30k-usd-cartel-issued-only-4-days-left-for-base-price
Nice. Just reblogged to enable me use it later. The cartel has upvoted me a number of times, I appreciate that 😁. I'll get involved soon and if you're ever in need of more writers, I'm available.
Like Flauwy mentioned buying CARTEL tokens is a great way to get some LVL exposure. Its sort of like a Hive based gaming guild and the token acts as sort of an index in ways. Definitely check out the post he linked for more specific details.
If you are looking to buy LVL directly, you can do so via Tribaldex.
I do like seeing my name up there
Welcome to the richlist...640K is respectable!
was aiming for 1 mill but people keep finding out about it and upping the price, not a bad thing though :D
There's a pretty large order selling at 0.003 to cap the price for a hot minute...
Nice Research ! Good job. I like numbers.LVL growing rock solid.
I wish I would have posted this the last time I did it and kept the numbers. The token is exploding!
I might have bumped one out of that list =) !LOL
!BEER and !PIZZA
You certainly have a strong position and are in the top 150 actually. Spot # 113 .
By the way, you can vote for more 4 witnesses 👉 https://peakd.com/me/witnesses
Yes, honestly, I voted for the ones I was familiar with or supported projects I use/believe in. If you happen to have suggestions I'm all ears.
Well, I am running a node (@atexoras.witness) in New Zealand, that currently is still private, but under the hood I am helping users to understand more HIVE with a bit of twist of enjoyment and free stuff along the way with the only (that I am aware) Virtual Pub in HIVE. @atexoras.pub
Have a look when you have the chance and let me know any questions if you have. This was a returning experience from the times of steem... where I have attempted to run a witness node too, but it was way more hardware demanding.
Note: I am not providing any public RPC or seed node yet. Although, once I move to a dedicated node, that might change, depending on how much that affects my home network. Full decentralization will happen once people understand they can run a node from home. If needed, I can help with that part too.
What kind of system requirements does one need to have to run a node at home, and what are the payouts for running a node?
The produced blocks depend a lot on how high you are in the queue (aka how many people are voting for you), so it's not a static thing. But if you wanna have a rough estimate "starting" like my @atexoras.witness that is running a node since the beginning of the year, so a month. And from all the signed blocks, so far, I have received around 15 HIVE. Hive from blocks signed go directly to powered up HIVE.
But, in my view, I would not be thinking of running a node for profit. To be honest, the real reason for me, was because I needed more decentralized access to HIVE (reaching my node instead of reaching a node 20 000 KM from me, makes a huge difference). Hence add another node to the ecosystem, that currently only serves me, but if things evolve into the right path, I will then be exposing my node, so others can benefit too. For example, people in New Zealand, Australia, and all islands around. Which will benefit from shorter interaction with my node, as compared with others further away. This is the natural path of decentralization... we get bigger and more options and fewer single points of failure.
Resources-wise, if you have a very good IO subsystem (very low latency, live NVMe's) you can run everything from storage, hence you can easily start a witness node with 2 or 4 cores and 4GB of RAM. Even less most likely but you should understand that replaying the blockchain will consume 1 thread for the entire process plus something else for IO depending on your storage configuration/type.
If you deploy what is called the shared memory file into memory (using a ramfs filesystem), then you will need around 20-21GB of ram JUST for this file alone. So, I would say, at least 24GB VM or System. CPU wise here, you will want the highest clock CPUs possible because all you want is reduced latency. 4 might be a good core count, but you won't be using lots of it most of the time. It depends on who will be using the node. If just for signing blocks, it will use almost no CPU. HIVE code is super efficient at the moment.
Finally, I would definitely recommend starting with things on a Virtual Machine (cheap one) if you wanna just give it a try and then move to a physical one. But if you already have a physical one doing nothing, then you can use that too. Physical vs Virtual will always be best, because of the extra latency (even if not much) the hypervisor introduces. But, for most cases (like just signing blocks) it will be negligible.
Have fun! 😎 HIVE rocks!

I wanted to be in the 2nd LVL chart...lol I kept looking to see if I was on it. I take great pride in being on that list, so when I saw the list of names below it, I was like... 😎 Oh yeah!...
Haha yeah, the spacing on graphs like that really doesn't work with a large number of people. It basically picked a name every X number of accounts.
Recently saw you hit your 1M mark. Congrats btw. There can only ever be 250 LVL millionaires via this initial public sale and plenty of people hold more than 1M so technically even less.
yeah buddy...and someone just posted 1.1M LVL for sale at 0.003, so I'm going to try and get some while they're stuck at that price.
!PIZZAThis is a cool collection of data, and I am glad that my master @solymi has over 400k LVL so happy that I made this step prior to the pump of the token.
!LOL was a good move for sure!

Awesome research! Maybe we should call you Mr. Stats 😁
Too bad I missed the boat on PsyberX/LVL, it really looks great.
You haven't missed it yet, in my opinion...I think it's only getting started.
Lots of useful information.
Thanks for sharing it.
It was a fun thing to put together, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice analysis. It's really interesting to see who is in the oligarchy of lvl tokens. This is a whale playground so I can only sit and eat popcorn while watching the numbers XD
Thanks for recommending the oneup curation! We do our best to guarantee your tokens are being used efficiently.
!1UP
Interesting enough, you only need to invest $3K to have 1M coins at current prices, I believe...or $600 for 200K. Don't know where it'll go from here, but most people I know in the top 50 aren't selling anytime soon that I know of...
Diamond hands to the moon!
You have received a 1UP from @trashyomen!

very informative article! I for one am honored to have barely made the list with my LVL holdings :-)
Looking forward for all that's to come!
Thx. I bought 90K yesterday. Maybe gonna play.
