Author: Catherine

Many months have passed since play-to-earn and metaverse have taken the crypto world by storm. Many of the projects built at the height of the hype failed the test of time. RACA is not one of them. In this week’s article, the ChangeHero team is going to introduce you to this project and its products, explain what RACA is and how to use this token and highlight its potential.

Key Takeaways

What is RACA?

RACA, which is also known by one of its older names, Radio Caca, is a crypto ecosystem focused on gaming and metaverse. It is built on the Binance Smart Chain (BNB Chain). The ecosystem is governed by the community through a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

In its current iteration, V2, RACA supports a few flagship projects: Metamon, USM World, and an NFT marketplace where the assets and items for both projects, as well as other NFT collections, can be traded.

The pride and strength of this project come from its global community, spanning hundreds of thousands of users worldwide (“29 fanbase regions, 665k followers on Twitter, 510k on Telegram, and 68k on Discord”, from the official website). The most popular and active local groups of RACAfellers come from South-East Asia, but the rest of the global communities are just as active, even if less numerous.

Due to the nature of the flagship projects, the RACA ecosystem falls into multiple categories of crypto: play-to-earn, metaverse, and NFT.

What is USM World?

USM stands for “United States of Mars”. USM World is a free-access metaverse, where according to the official website, users can “take a trip, make friends, create value, and build a real metaverse.”

In the virtual world of USM, the value is supposed to come from the NFT assets that players develop and trade on the RACA NFT marketplace. The NFTs from the other parts of the ecosystem, for instance, the Metamon game, can be used here as well. Another source of value in this metaverse is virtual lands, which gives players even more options for customization.

At the alpha stage, seven regions are available for exploration, with many more potentially to come. They come with their distinctive terrain and economic traits. For example, the description for the New California region states it is a center of business and entertainment rich with landmarks. If you are looking for business or investment opportunities, New Harvard is your destination. For those who seek the thrill of conquering new frontiers, there is a region as well: the Kiss-Up State.

History and Team Behind RACA

Not much is known about the founders or members of the core team of RACA. Despite being anonymous, they secured funding from VCs such as OKX Ventures and the Consensys Mesh Tachyon.

It first arrived on the markets in May 2021. The first large project launched by this burgeoning community is called Maye Musk Mystery Box, an NFT PFP collection. In V1, which was live from May through August, 80% of the total supply of 500B RACA tokens was locked in a liquidity pool. With the arrival of V2 on August 19, 2021, the RACA DAO became active, and more changes to tokenomics, including token burn, were introduced. Since then, almost 70B RACA has been removed from the circulating supply one way or another.

What is RACA Crypto?

It is obvious by now that the whole RACA ecosystem is supported by the native token. Radio Caca (RACA) is a vehicle for value in this ecosystem that ties its projects together.

Here are some facts and figures to add to the picture of the Radio Caca (RACA) coin:

Maximum supply 500 billion RACA
Total supply 431,418,233,270.64 RACA
Holders 453,304 addresses
ATH Transfer Count 736,104 (November 20, 2021)
All-time High Price (USD) $0.01189 (November 14, 2021)

RACA is available not only on BNB Chain. It also works on Ethereum and OKTChain. The tokens are distributed between BNB Chain, Ethereum, and OKTChain in a 62/36/2% ratio respectively.

What is RACA Token Used For?

RACA And Its Competitors

These days, there is an abundance of community-governed projects that offer a wide variety of use cases, often dabbling in gaming and the metaverse. Some of the similar projects that RACA is up against are Baby Doge and Floki Inu. Both memecoins are also BNB Chain natives with huge communities.

An obvious distinction is that RACA is less of a memecoin than those two. The team is not averse to admitting that at first they also were a meme-based project but by now, it has embraced a more neutral branding.

Another point of divergence is the tokenomics of these projects. For one, the dog-based competitors of Radio Caca (RACA) have substantially larger token supplies (420 quadrillion BABYDOGE and 20 trillion FLOKI). Even with programmatic burn, the deflationary pressure on the price of these tokens is negligible. RACA employs a buyback and burn approach instead of burning a percent off each transaction, and has already reduced its total supply by ~7 billion tokens.

What is USM Metaverse and RACA’s Future?

Currently, Metamon is receiving global updates and USM.World is in alpha. With that in mind, what is next for the games and the ecosystem in general?

According to the official website, the next milestone from the roadmap to be reached is the cross-integration of NFTs from the USM Metaverse and OpenPFP NFT marketplace. In the official Medium, the team announced a new patch for USM.World just five days ago: it adds a new futuristic state of MPB (Matrix Plus Box), and it’s reasonable to expect further additions to the metaverse. Metamon is currently in the process of receiving updates for a global expansion Lost Worlds.

In addition to that, the RACA team updates the roster of partners almost daily. Today, the project lists 71 partners that range from brand ambassadors to Web3 infrastructure providers and angel investors.

RACA on Twitter

RACA keeps scoring record trading activity in its ecosystem. Even with the lull in the NFT market, they recently had $7M in trading volume — the highest in the sample group.

The RACA news often comes from Twitter along with other numerous official news channels. Updates on collaborations, such as this one with Mises, often get announced there first.

Speaking of the news and official channels, here is an update from the general community account. In the last month, they held plenty of collaborations and acquired new partnerships and listings.
