The guest we had was Berkan, the Co-founder of X Rush. He introduced that X Rush is a casual play-to-earn game designed to provide users with a fun gaming experience by racing & shooting in multiple metaverses.
Q1:
BTS Labs: Could you introduce X Rush to us and what are the features of X Rush?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): Of course! X Rush is a casual play-to-earn game designed to provide users with a fun gaming experience by racing & shooting in multiple metaverses. Users can collect their favorite racers and customize racing cars to compete with other players on the leaderboard.
We aim to form a great gaming community, letting players not only enjoy the fun of the game but also be a part of it, contribute, and of course, earn the game token $XOX.
X Rush is also compatible with Web3 wallets such as MetaMask, TP Wallet & Trust wallet, which will be used to accept transactions and pay for gas fees. All players’ assets will be displayed in the game, and all the game data will be put on the chain in real-time.
Here are 3 features about X Rush:

Q2:
BTS Labs: Based on the whitepaper, X Rush will have 2 different types of NFTs also known as main game items. What are they and how do they play an important role in the game?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): Yes. NFTs are unique parts of X Rush. There are two types of NFT:
X Racer
X Racer non-fungible tokens are hand-drawn by the illustrators behind the iconic 2009 multiplayer online battle arena League of Legends (“League” or LoL).
Every racer represents a customized character with an exclusive combination of headwear, glasses, accessories, outfits, races, genders, and so on.
Players who hold the X Racer NFT will enjoy the following rights:
- Earn 50 XOX Tokens per day passive income! This income is halved every 50 days. Passive income starts after XOX initial listing on Kucoin!
- Special Profile Pictures in game.
- Auto-pilot mode can be activated in the X Rush game in the future.
- Based on the KuCoin Community Chain and will be tradeable on the secondary market.
X Cars
X Cars are NFTs minted on the KCC for playing the game. X Cars can also be customized and upgraded in the game app.
After obtaining a certain number of Tokens, players can buy X Car or open X Car mystery boxes in the app (Price: 2,999 Tokens).
The service life of an X Car is between 3 to 152 days. At the end of the service life, it will be scrapped, and tokens will be returned in proportion to the original value (depending on the car level).
There will be a total of 9,900 X Racer NFT drops soon, approximately in the late of April. 2,000 are for whitelisted users, 7,900 are for Public Sales.
We will first launch the WL IGO at 12:00 UTC, 8th April on our website xrush.io !!! Whitelisted users can pay for an X Racer NFT at 269 USD worth of KCS,about 12.5 KCS, with 2 guaranteed minting spots per whitelist address.
After that, we will do IGO at Kucoin IGO platform. An NFT is priced at 299 USD during the Public Sale hosted by KuCoin on their website. First come first serve.
Q3:
BTS Labs: What is your token and the tokenomic? What are the utilities of your token？
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): X Rush’s native token is called XOX, which is an incentive token as well as a governance token, of which 53.7% will be distributed to players as in-game rewards. Team and investors cover 15% of the total amount. 1.3% are used for initial token liquidity, 10% for PoS community mining, 10% for multi-chain funds, 5% as marketing treasury, and 5% as X Racer passive income.
With XOX, users can:
Purchase X Box (Mystery Box);
Purchase Game items, such as X Cars, X Energy, and so on;
In-game X Car upgrade & customization;
Exchange & trade on CEX & DEX;
Join community mining;
Get special campaign passes.
X Rush Co-governance on Snap-shot;
Potential in-game item airdrops;
Potential token airdrops,etc.
You can refer to the white paper for more specific info on X Rush Tokenomics, which gives a very detailed explanation. Link: https://doc.xrush.io/economy/tokenomics.
Q4:
BTS Labs: Does it only support PC devices? Will it be compatible with Android devices and also iOS? Will it be released first in the desktop version or mobile version?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): Yes, X Rush can be played via mobile phones, we have both iOS and Android versions. Several days ago, 50 users from our community experienced the beta test version and gave us some great advice! And now we are making improvements based on the suggestions made by players, and will choose the right time to start the public test. All players who participate in the beta test and public test will get future game benefits and airdrops. And for new users please stay tuned for the public test and the twitter & community campaigns!
And we do not have a PC version, because after research we found that a mobile version of the game would be more popular. And as a joke, users who have a computer usually can afford a mobile phone, lol. So we will focus our efforts on developing the mobile version, and devote ourselves to giving players a smoother game experience.
Q5:
BTS Labs: We love Gamefi and believe it is the next big thing in crypto. Can you tell us more about the X Rush and how it differentiates from other Gamefi projects?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): It’s true. GameFi is surely the next big thing. We noticed the Gamefi trend a long time ago. Fundraising within GameFi has really exploded and some gamefi projects have already become super popular globally.
But there are some pain points that we’ve seen that need to be changed:
- Most gamefi projects are actually centralized.
If you take a look at most of the projects now on the market, most of them require a centralized way for users to register, and only rely on web pages to achieve some decentralized functions. Players still need email registration to log in to the game, which is no different from traditional games. This centralized method will lead to problems such as user privacy leakage, data loss, and tampering. X Rush, on the other hand, realizes the intercommunication between game apps and decentralized wallets. After connecting to a wallet, players can log in to the game through the wallet address. All in-game data will be uploaded onchain, ensuring the absolute security of user data and assets.
2. Tokenomics gamefi projects are often ambiguous, unclear and not well designed.
Before developing X Rush, our team conducted a lot of market research, studied the white papers of many gamefi projects, and participated in many gamefi games. We found that the Tokenomic models of many projects are not very clear, and some projects do not even have a Tokenomic model, token distribution, future utility, unlocking cycle, etc.. It can all be very vague, which leads to doubts and worries from the community.
3. Limited Token Utility.
Lack of token utility is a big concern for most gamefi projects. Players have very few scenarios to use the native tokens. The user experience is relatively poor, which is not conducive to the long-term healthy development of the project.
As for X Rush, we provide players with various XOX usage scenarios. Players can use XOX Token for transactions, in-game purchases of NFTs, X Car customization, and Blind Box purchases. We are focused on improving the player’s game experience.
Free Questions
Q1:
BTS Labs Community: Are you planning to promote your project in countries / regions where English is not good? Do you have a local community for them to better understand your project?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): Yes, we already promote X Rush to all over the world, like Vietnamese, Korea, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Philipho, Indonesia etc.. We did AMAs in the local communities, did giveaway events with them and published a number of local articles, if you follow X Rush twitter or in the Discord & Telegram Community, you may see it. We will continue to work with these local communities to get more people to learn about X Rush and start playing to earn.
We opened local language channels in Discord, users whose English is not good can join these channels and communicate with Other players.

Q2:
BTS Labs Community: AMA is one of many ways to advertise but to gain more recognition in crypto and non-crypto space, what other community activities do you do other than AMA?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): In addition to the daily events of the Discord and Telegram communities, we are also running 3 events in which you are welcome to participate and receive rewards, here are the details, you can check them out: https://t.me/XRushOfficial/50161
Q3:
BTS Labs Community: Many games today set high costs to start the game & therefore start with a small player base. Does X RUSH an entrance fee or starting conditions & if so what are they? Do I need to hold an NFT or hold a certain amount of tokens in order to enjoy & play the #X RUSH Game?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): X Rush players need to have at least one X Car to start the game. X Cars can be purchased through the XOX token, or you can participate in our Discord and Telegram campaigns to get one for free, or you can invite friends to get a free X Car.
Invite a user through the app to buy 1 X Car to get a Lv.0 X Car. The more invitees buy, the higher level of X Car you get. The more invitees purchase, the higher level of X Car you will get. If your friends purchase more than 1499 X Cars, you will get a Tesla Model 3!
X Cars have an expiration date. After the expiration date, XOX Token will be returned proportionally according to the level of X Cars, which means that the user is free to play, play to earn.I believe that this is a very low threshold for users.
Q4:
BTS Labs Community: A big problem of the NFTs communities is a poor control of the supply and circulation of the native tokens that lead to a terrible devaluation, could you explain us the circulation reduction strategies of Crypto piece and how they hope to maintain it in the long term??
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): For the benefit of all game players, X Rush decided to adopt the following deflation method:
- 5% of all Token transaction amounts in the app will be automatically destroyed;
- The passive income of the X Racer will be halved every 50 days;
- A quarterly Token burning mechanism will be introduced after the Mainnet launch.
In addition to this, we will also launch the Staking mechanism and so on in the future. I believe the team’s funding and strength will not let you down.
Q5:
BTS Labs Community: Collaborations and partnerships are some of the most important cornerstones to help improve adoption. Could you please tell us about the current partners, plans for partnerships and what everybody stands to gain from these partnerships?
Berkan(Co-founder of X Rush): Yes, it’s true. We cooperate with Kucoin, BTS Labs, Fomoin, AC Capital, U Today, BTS Ventures, Solomey Oy, 98KDao, Deepchain Capital etc. And they will not only help us with IGO and IDO, and will also help us expand more users from all over the world.
Moreover, we are in frequent contact with several overseas gamefi guild, gamefi projects, top-tier VCs, and will announce corporations and campaigns from time to time. So stay tuned!
