Founder Sales
Founder Sales A.K.A Genesis Sales, in NFTs, commonly refers to the first and initial sales.
These sales are essential for NFT Projects because they serve as a way to receive funding to continue the project.
Many people try to participate in these sales because often, the assets can be bought here at their cheapest value before the NFTs rocket to the moon.
In Guild of Guardians, The Founder Sales is the first NFT and In-game Asset sales for the game. It is an opportunity for players/investors to buy and own rare and exclusive founder NFTs.
These NFTs will never be sold again. That and their utilities, are the main reason they go up in value, especially after a game blows up to the masses.
GoG Asset | Supply |
|---|---|
Mythic Guild Token | 10 |
Legends Guild Token | 50 |
Warriors Guild Token | 200 |
Adventurers Guild Token | 2,000 |
Legendary Hero Summon | 7,500 |
Epic Hero Summon | 35,000 |
Rare Hero Summon | 150,000 |
Energy Booster / Token | 15,000 |
Pet Summon | 35,000 |
It is important to note that Hero Summons is different from actual Hero NFTs.
Even though there were only 7,500 Legendary Hero Summons, the actual supply of Legendary Heroes is larger. This is because Epic Hero Summons and Rare Hero Summons can summon a Legendary Hero. (5% Chance to get Legendary for Epic Hero Summon and 1% Chance for Rare Hero Summon)
During the Founder Sales, Guild of Guardians rewards people who participate by distributing ~1.4% of the $GoG Token's max supply to its early backers.
Eligibility for the Gem Reward Distribution were only for those who have bought through the Guild of Guardians Website. For the same reason, NFTs that were bought in the pre-sale / whitelists (for waves 2 & 3) were not counted for the Distribution.
Players who buy NFTs earlier benefited for up to 20% Discount. This discount decreases as the supplies for each NFT decreases too.
This meant that the person who bought the first Adventurers Guild Token enjoyed 20% Discount and could grab the NFT for only $180 ($200 Base Price). Meanwhile, the person who bought the 1001st Adventurers Guild Token benefitted from a 10% Discount, and only the last person who purchased the last Adventurers Guild Token got it for the base price ($200), excluding other discounts.
Everyone who used a referral link in the Founder Sales received a 5% Discount. The discounted amount of funds from a person goes directly to the owner of the referral link.
If Person A created a referral link and gave it to Person B, then Person B used it to buy a Mythic Guild that is priced for $100,000, Person B will be able to buy the Mythic Guild for $95,000 after the discount and the $5,000 will go to Person A.
I do not know how the discounts work when the 2 different discounts were applied.

As a rule of thumb we will always act in the best interests of our early adopters, active community members, and provable long-term believers. We will be reserving 20% of the total allocation of Wave Two NFTs for our existing community members.It is important for us to balance rewarding existing and active community members with the ability to bring in new members which grows the overall ecosystem. The 20% figure is an adequate sweet spot that we feel ticks both of those boxes.
People were requested to answer a google form to register for the Whitelist. The google form includes questions about Discord Tag, Amount of Requested Epic Hero Summons, Amount of Requested Energy Boosters. After that, the entries in the google form were manually screened, and then later, Whitelist is made.
With the aforementioned Gas Wars situation in mind, we have made the executive decision NOT to announce a specific date and time for when we are officially live with Wave Two. We will drop clues on our socials, and in our Discord in the lead-up. Doing this discourages botting, nefarious activity, and it actually ensures that more honest and genuine buyers end up with NFTs. We will not be disclosing the smart contract or website prior to the sale.
In the second wave, Epic Hero Summons and Energy Boosters were sold. With 20% of it allocated to the Whitelist / Private Sale and the remaining 80% of supply obtainable through the website
GoG NFT / Asset | Supply | Base Price |
|---|---|---|
Epic Hero Summons | 28,000 + 7,000 = 35,000 | $ 55 |
Energy Booster / Token | 12,000 + 3,000 = 15,000 | $ 150 |
All NFTs Sold in ~ 30 Minutes.

In the second wave, Rare Hero Summons and Pet Summons were sold. 100% of Rare Hero Summons Supply sold publicly. On the otherhand, 20% of Pet Summons Supply were allocated for Whitelist / Private Sale
GoG NFT / Asset | Supply | Base Price |
|---|---|---|
Rare Hero Summons | 150,000 | $12.50 |
Pet Summon | 40,000 + 10,000 = 50,000 | $75 |
Wave | Date | Sold Assets |
|---|---|---|
Wave 1 | 13 May, 2021 ; 11:00 AEST | Legendary Hero Summons & All Guild Tokens |
Wave 2 | 13 Sept, 2021 ; 15:00 AEST | Epic Hero Summons & Energy Boosters / Tokens |
Wave 3 | 11 Nov, 2021 ; 10:20 AEST | Rare Hero Summons & Pet Summons |
Hero Summons is different from actual Hero NFTs.
Even though there were only 7,500 Legendary Hero Summons, the actual supply of Legendary Heroes is larger. This is because Epic Hero Summons and Rare Hero Summons have chances to summon a Legendary Hero. (5% Chance to get Legendary for Epic Hero Summon and 1% Chance for Rare Hero Summon)
Example.
Legendary Hero Summons Supply + (Epic Hero Summons Supply x 5%) + (Rare Hero Summons Supply x 1%) = 10,450
By the maths, here are the theoretically expected supply of NFTs:
GoG Asset | Expected Max Supply |
|---|---|
Mythic Guild Token | 10 |
Legends Guild Token | 50 |
Warriors Guild Token | 200 |
Adventurers Guild Token | 2000 |
Legendary Heroes | 10,750 |
Epic Heroes | 41,000 |
Rare Heroes | 142,500 |
Energy Booster / Token | 15,000 |
Pet Summon | 50,000 |
