📍The map is the core gameplay of the game, around which all other mechanics revolve. But it wasn’t engaging enough.

So, we introduced the Game Spinner mechanic in version 1.4, and most players loved it!

Few people know, though, that this was the start of a whole series of map-related updates. ⭐️

🆒The next stage is coming in the upcoming update.
🫡 I’m starting to build a bridge between players and the refreshed map.

P.S. Current mechanics will remain relevant, so don’t worry! I saw some concerns in the comments on the last post.

50 reactions, and I’ll swap them for more update details. 🪙

What happened yesterday?

Yesterday, our system was subjected to an external attack, which resulted in the ACE smart contract being compromised. The attackers generated 10^16 ACE tokens and stole around 1 million TRC.

At approximately 17:00 UTC, we suspended the ACE contract and all game-related service contracts.

These measures are essential to identify threats, thoroughly assess damages, and prevent further attacks.

Currently, we are continuing our investigation. However, we have already implemented security enhancements to reinforce our defenses. Services will be resumed under normal operation soon.

🏳️We are also developing a compensation plan to address the damage caused to players, including a complete review of security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

In upcoming posts, I’ll provide more details on:

- Our recovery plan
- Immediate actions we’re taking to stabilize the situation
- The future of in-game assets, including the ACE token
- Our strategy for maintaining player trust

Thank you for your understanding and support. We highly value your trust and are doing everything possible to ensure future security.

— The MetaTrace Team

UPD

⚡️We have identified the source of the issue and are actively working to address all related scenarios.

However, this will take time.

Full system functionality will be restored by early next week.

⚙️Until then, our top priority is ensuring security. Unfortunately, some services will operate with limitations, but the wallet and marketplace will continue to function normally.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and are making every effort to resolve the issue. Your support is incredibly important to us during this challenging time.

🏳️Tomorrow, I’ll share details about the upcoming changes for our game. Thank you for staying with us!

🏳️ Global Changes (1/3)

The recent incident has been a major shock for the entire project.

This event has led us to re-evaluate certain aspects of the game to create a stronger and more secure system.

🪙In the upcoming update, MetaTrace will transition to a single token — TRC, which will fully replace ACE in the game.

This means that:

🫡 All Airdrop rewards are now issued in TRC tokens instead of ACE. Additionally, this season we’ve increased the prize pool and the number of grand prizes.

🔜 Starting next week, we will launch the process of converting ACE to TRC for all players.

❗️We will completely remove ACE from all mechanics (Airdrop, pet creation, buildings, attacks on opponents, and the D2E mode) and replace it with other rewards, including TRC.

⚙️The D2E mode will go into reconstruction with the next update. All players with NFT Cars in their garages will receive an additional drop as compensation for the wait.

This is a crucial decision for the future of the MetaTrace project.

Global Changes (2/3)

🚗The Future of D2E

D2E has been with us since the early days of MetaTrace, and it will continue to be! We understand that the Drive 2 Earn mechanic is important to many of you, especially those who own NFT Cars.

But we also recognize it needs some improvements.

What does this mean for you?

⚙️ Temporary D2E Reconstruction: Starting with the next update, D2E will be temporarily disabled for upgrades. We plan to complete this work within a few weeks. This time is needed to implement changes, test balance, and ensure smooth functionality.

🚗 What about NFT Cars?

⭐️Your NFT Cars are safe: All your cars will be preserved with their full attributes. After the reconstruction, NFT Cars will continue to play a central role in the D2E mechanic.

🫶Bonus for waiting: As a thank-you for your patience, all NFT Car owners in the game will receive additional rewards after the reconstruction is complete. Details will be shared soon.

🔒Temporary Freeze on Operations: Until the work is finished, depositing and withdrawing NFT Cars will be temporarily paused.

Our team is working hard to bring back D2E as soon as possible and make it even better!

Global Changes (3/3)

😶‍🌫️ Why are we replacing ACE with TRC?

It seems that creating a model with two tokens was a miscalculation on our part… But where exactly? It turned out to be more complex than we anticipated. The use of ACE failed to meet either your expectations or our own.

👨‍💻 After thorough analysis, we concluded that using a single token in the game would benefit its development, maintain game balance, enhance economic security, and make it clearer for new users.

⭐️As a result, the game becomes easier to play. You’ll use a single token, and we’ll focus on developing a single token.

📊 Additionally, almost half (46.9%) of the total TRC token issuance was allocated for rewards from the very beginning. This means TRC will gain more utility, and its use within the game economy will be more cyclical.

❤️ What will happen to the existing ACE?

We will convert all existing tokens into TRC. We've taken all necessary snapshots for calculations.

The conversion process will begin next week, and all details on the terms will be shared in upcoming posts, so stay tuned.

While we’re preparing the details for the ACE → TRC conversion, you’ve probably noticed that the Airdrop updated yesterday and the first reward season has officially begun!

Here’s what’s changed:

⬆️ All super prizes have increased in size and are now exclusively in TRC.

🤟 The maximum prize is now 50,000 $TRC.

💰 The maximum rewards for regular prizes in TRC and POL have also increased.

⭐️ Gold tickets now drop rare, epic and legendary pets.

🛍 The chance of getting gems from gold tickets has been reduced.

Super prizes now have strict limits:

- 12 Big Prizes
- 6 Mega Prizes
- 4 Epic Prizes
- 2 Super Prizes

A bot will help you track these prizes (soon it will start sharing your wins in the chat).

🪙 The prize pool is over 1,200,000 $TRC
(and the most active players have already started claiming it since yesterday).

Oh, and by the way, the first Airdrop season will run until December 5th 🗓
Go get your drops!

🏳️The new version of the game 1.6.60, is now available in the stores.

This is a hotfix aimed at security improvements, removing ACE from the game, and preparing for the D2E reconstruction.

Here’s what’s new and how it enhances your gameplay experience:

🚗 The D2E mode has been suspended for rework, and we’ll share details on the upcoming changes soon.

⌛ NFT Cars deposits and withdrawals have also been paused to ensure a smooth transition to the updated D2E mode.

🔒 Security protocols within the app have been refined.
❗️Important: To improve the blockchain aspect of the game, all token and NFT transfers are temporarily suspended. This is a necessary step, and all operations will be available again soon.

🗑 ACE has been removed from the following mechanics: battles, construction, speeding up egg hatching, and creating NFT pets.

⚙️ Additionally, we’ve fixed minor bugs and improved optimization.

This version serves as a transitional update ahead of the major upcoming release, a preview of which we shared earlier. Time to update!

🏳️Let’s continue talking about the upcoming update.

The map’s key role isn’t just to guide the player but to give them the ability to influence their rewards.

⬆️That’s why, in the new update, we’re changing the reward mechanics on the map. Achievements will now depend not only on luck but also on the player’s skills 🌡

👀 How exactly? Any ideas?

ACE ➡️ TRC (1/5)

🏳️Hello!
The team is on the home stretch of preparing for the ACE to TRC exchange.

It turned out to be quite a challenging task, and right now we are doing everything to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for both your gaming experience and the entire MetaTrace economy ⬆️

Here’s a bit of introductory information:

⌛ The exchange will begin with the next update.

💳 All main service contracts will also become operational with the update (deposits and withdrawals will be available).

📊 The exchange will take place in 3 stages:

• Stage 1: Conversion of all ACE balances within the game.

• Stage 2: Conversion of ACE stored in MetaTrace wallets.

• Stage 3: Conversion of ACE held in external player wallets.

Detailed information about the conditions and the start of the process will follow in upcoming posts.
🫡 Get ready for big changes!

ACE ➡️ TRC (2/5)  

Hello!  
The update is now live in stores, and starting tomorrow, we’ll begin the ACE-to-TRC conversion! 🔥  

Here are the key points to know:  

🗓 Snapshot of ACE balances: The conversion will be based on balances as of 2024-11-12, 15:59:21 UTC.  

🪙 Exchange rate: 1 TRC = 120 ACE.  

🔔 How will it work?  

Stage 1: Conversion in game profiles (November 26)  

• The conversion will start with in-game balances. All ACE balances have already been removed, and TRC will be credited automatically at the specified rate.  

Stage 2: Conversion of ACE in MetaTrace wallets (November 26)  

• TRC will be automatically credited to wallets where ACE was stored.  

• Due to blockchain processing speed limitations and the high number of wallets, the exchange may take up to 3 days 🫡 Please don’t worry if you don’t see TRC immediately—it will appear shortly.  

Stage 3: Conversion for external wallets  

• For these players, we will launch a special form to submit requests for manual processing of balances. Details about the form will be shared very soon 🔜

ACE ➡️ TRC (3/5)

All profile balances have been updated 🔥

🔸 Enter your information carefully to help speed up the verification and processing of your request.

🔸 The conversion will be based on balances as of 2024-11-12, 15:59:21 UTC.

🔸 The form will be available until 2024-12-11 (December 11), 10:00 UTC. After that, submissions will no longer be accepted.

🤝 This has been a challenging sprint—thank you for your patience. On to the next update!

ACE ➡️ TRC (5/5)

The Future of TRC 🪙

We understand many of you are wondering: what’s next for the TRC token? That’s completely natural.

Let’s start with the basics: TRC is a decentralized asset. Its value depends on two key factors: the actions of the development team and market dynamics 📈

💬 «Does the team have a plan? Are they even paying attention to the price?!»

The answer is: yes, we are! 🫡

🤝 MetaTrace has a clear long-term strategy for managing TRC.

But, as mentioned, the market is made up of many players: gamers, traders, investors, market makers, exchanges 📊 Each has their own goals, and that’s how the economy works.

As a team, we’re focused on building the best possible in-game economy—one that’s resistant to extreme volatility, welcoming to new players, and exciting for long-term supporters.

It’s not easy, but we’re committed to improving MetaTrace—together with its core: the TRC token! 🫶

1.7.0 Preview 🏳️

Hello! Testers have started pre-release checks, which means the update is just around the corner! 🔜

This update required significant work from the team (and even more after the attack).
👀 But I managed to sneak a peek at the highlights:

🔸 Changes to the core reward collection mechanic.

The action moves to the skies above the city! The map no longer relies on GPS and works smoothly on all devices. Collecting rewards will be a bit trickier—and definitely more exciting 😶‍🌫️. Hope you’re not afraid of heights!

🔸 Daily energy limits removed.

No more daily caps—just you and your energy! ⚡️ Play as long as your fingers can handle it! The team is also testing the energy recovery speed for a smoother experience.

🔸 Lots of small fixes and improvements to boost performance and squash bugs (as always) ⌛

And that’s just part of what 1.7.0 has in store. I’ll share more in the coming days.
