From Zero To Rich With WAX

It’s been a couple of months since I joined WAX and all I can say it’s amazing. I discovered a new way to create wealth without having to spend a dime.

My feeling with WAX is exactly the same I have with Hive and LeoFinance. With my own effort and consistency, I can generate value for a community and be rewarded because of it.

I would like to share with you my experience in the past few months. Also, I hope you find my journey inspiring or useful in your own way. So, let me start by telling you where I was.

Starting With Nothing

It started when I was reading one of the @khazrakh posts. He wrote about a game named Alien Worlds and I decided to give it a try too. So, I created an account on WAX and started playing.

At first, I didn’t really know what I was doing because everything about the game was very weird to me. Therefore, I decided to learn about the mechanics and I discovered that the most important thing in the game was the mining tools.

The new users start with a very basic mining tool, and if you have luck, you can mine 1 TLM every 2-3 minutes. Each unit of TLM worth approximately $0.004 now. It was pretty low value but I kept the consistency. After few weeks of grinding, I was buying better mining tools on Atomic Hub.

Also, the mining feature yields NFT from time to time. This translates into extra money because another game called R-Planet allows you to stake your Alien Worlds NFTs and earn AETHER passively. But wait, because there is more, if you mine on the Cryptomonkey’s land plots then you can get random NFTs each week (maybe this finished by the time you read this), the cheapest one is $1!

The Everyday Job

I ended with a good set of tools that yield between 75-100 TLM per day. The price of TLM has been going down lately but the price of WAX did increase, so selling all my TLM every day results in a constant flow of WAX to my wallet. Also, staking all my Alien Worlds NFTs on R-Planet yields around 12 Aether every 45 minutes. With the recent miners sold by R-Planet, the value of Aether has dropped roughly which I sell each day on the market.

The WAX token can be staked like many PoS tokens. The current APR according to Staking Rewards is about 4.5%, maybe is not the best APR out there but I expect to be stable and my WAX to increase in value over time.

My goal now is to reach about 100 WAX staked. With all my TLM, Aether and some NFTs selling it should take less than two months. At this point, staking rewards should yield around 0.0125 WAX which I can compound every day, this should increase the APR from 4.5% to 4.66% APY. After completing this goal, the next one will be at 1,000 WAX.

What's Next

The final goal is to reach 1,000,000 WAX, this could take some years but I will have so much fun on the way. Staking one million WAX should return 46,000 WAX approximately, at its current price this is $10,000. But if the price of WAX increases to $1 or even $10 in a few years then the reward will be much higher.

In the next years, I expect to see new opportunities and projects on the WAX network. More play2earn games like Alien Worlds could appear and more use cases for NFTs and WAX could take place. Also, the EOS chain is the father of WAX and they can make good synergies between them.

EOS has a lot of potential for different projects, from games to NFT and DeFi. This opens more doors for me and better chances to find more sources of income which I can reinvest later in the same way I do with WAX.

In conclusion

WAX offers good opportunities to generate a stable long-term passive income. The chain has a lot of potentials, therefore, newer and better projects should show in the next years. The PoS schema makes WAX to be fast and enjoy zero-fee transactions which translate into cheap and easy reinvesting. Also, the EOS blockchain is similar to WAX, so it's easy to replicate my model on it.

  1. Are you earning from WAX or EOS?
  2. Do you have any long-term plans?

I, too, am playing Alien Worlds. Unfortunately, I have not been as successful as you have with my plan. I think a reorganization is in order. I have been trying to make my tools shiny, but I that feature seems to have disapeared (at least I cannot find it).

I am also staking my extra NFTs on R-Planet. I saw that there is another game on R-Planet that you can use your Aether for, but I haven't been able to figure that one out yet and have not found much in the way of instructions.

I am beginning to wonder if I wouldn't be better off following your plan of just converting everything to WAX.

It took me some time to kick off, getting good mining tools was the hardest part. Now, I sell everything for WAX, TLM, Aether, and NFTs (except Alien World which I use to stake on R-Planet), then stake the WAX.

That's a good build for TLM if you haven't invested anything in the game. I like more the NFT oriented builds though, if you hit a good card you can gain much more WAX. Requires perseverance but is better imo in the long run.

Yep, I decided to stop at tier 2 tools because the next rarity tier was pretty expensive. You are right about hitting a rare card, but I prefer to get something stable because if I don't know the chances I will be frustrated.

I always thought H1 should be the title of the post.
Does the next structure make sense to you?

How to tame your pet (H1)

Introductory paragraph.

1. How to tame your cat (H2)

Paragraph one.

1.1 Pet your cat (H3)

Paragraph two.

1.2 Give Delicious Food (H3)

Paragraph three.

2. How to tame your dog (H2)

Paragraph four.

2.1 Pet Your Dog (H3)

Paragraph five.

2.2 Tell Is a Good Boy (H3)

Paragraph six.

I started to follow you on noise.cash and you made a post about provide liquidity on Alcor for Swap TLM/WAX. I've been looking into it and couldn't find any information. So I provided some liquidity to test it out. I see one token in the minus and one token in the plus. Do you per chance know whether there is a fee for the use of the swap that would go to liquidity providers?

Hey @achim03, thanks for your comment.

This is interesting. I'm also adding liquidity to the WAX/TLM pair because it has a high trading volume and I want to check if it is more profitable than staking WAX, but that was after writing this post.

Captura.PNG
As you can see in the image "Liquidity Source Fee" tells how much providers get, in this case, 0.3%.

About the plus and minus, I think you mean the earnings column. I've seen both tokens in positive at some point so that would confirm your question about the fees.

Because Alcor doesn't have any kind of stats aside from the earnings column it's like waiting for an eclipse to happen.

We need to wait for users to swap more TLM for WAX in total, at some point, the draining would match 50/50, and both will look positive, showing the true earnings from fees. For example:

Week 1
0.41996085 WAX
-16.3023 TLM

Week 2
0.01996085 WAX
2.3023 TLM

Week 3
-0.41996085 WAX
16.3023 TLM

Like an eclipse. It would be nice to see fees earned on another column.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer and the great explanation! Appreciate it. At the moment I stake the WAX to get the 4.5% staking reward which is not that much. I wonder whether it's possible to top this by providing liquidity. If the swaps are used often then it could be interesting in the long term.

I think an LP to be profitable needs to have a high trading volume, and that volume is greater than the total value of the LP. I will try to keep track of the LP earnings and see how profitable is related to stake WAX.
