aPOC Withdrawal Policy
On account of many wPOC being exploited by bots/macro/multitap users, we have come up with the concept of aPOC in order to sustain a healthy ecosystem for Pocket Arena.
aPOC is nothing but those wPOC which have undergone a prudent audit. Initially it was announced that aPOC will also require KYC process, but the team at Pocket Arena has decided not to conduct the KYC process for the time being.
That being said, we have come up with the following withdrawal requirements and policies:
Important Things to Note
- For every withdrawal that follows the first withdrawal, the user must have a different Metamask account; a different Metamask wallet address will be used every time. The user must create up to 10 Metamask wallet addresses and withdraw via them every week. After the 10th withdrawal, the user can withdraw from the first Metamask account again. So, you see — the withdrawal process follows a cycle of 10 addresses and after the 10th attempt, the cycle shall repeat itself.
- The POC address must be an Ethereum address that supports BEP20 and BSC Network. Until POC is listed in centralised exchanges such as Binanace, Kucoin etc., please use Metamask only.
- 5 POC must be kept in the POC wallet addresses at ALL TIMES until the next withdrawal request. If one of the POC wallet addresses has less than 5 POC, the user must wait a min. 7 days in order to enable the next withdrawal.
- The withdrawal threshold per request per week is 50 POC. The withdrawal fee is 3 POC per request and that 3 POC must be paid with Metamask separately.
The audit will be carried as per the following rules:
XPs earned from playing max 20 times per hour is allowed. (ok)
XPs earned from playing more than 20 times per hour is cancelled (not ok)
In case that you would like to appeal this audit result, you can do so by sending the relevant proof and explanations to service@pocketarena.com
However, please note that once the appeal case has been submitted, your withdrawal may be delayed for an indefinite period of time until the appeal process is officially closed.
NFT Emoji Avatars, Castle Defense Items Upgrade Guide, Pocket Arena Esports Broadcasters Recruitment and more.
December, Week 4 has passed and we’re about to enter 2022. During the past week, a lot has happened at Pocket Arena with regards to bringing important updates to our community.

Reserve Your own NFT Emoji Avatar for NFT Castle Town – 100 Avatars
The first edition of 100 NFT Emoji Avatars are coming to NFT Castle Town! NFT Castle Town in the virtual city of Luzern is an exclusive area for peace and commercial activities.

In this Pocket Metaverse, you will need your own avatar to represent yourself in order to do various commercial and non-commercial activities in this Castle Town.

Pocket Arena has been featured on Cointelegraph, the leading international crypto media.
As it currently stands, there is a lot of hype around the metaverse concept. While market excitement exists, fundamental considerations are still being overlooked, namely, the desire for others to be a part of it. Would the metaverse need to be futuristic in context, closer to the real world, composed of online avatars or designed for gamers? Surprisingly, among the top answers is esports. Here’s why.

Introducing aPOC
The team at Pocket Arena has been working hard to create a sustainable and fair gaming ecosystem. In other Play2Earn gaming projects, we have seen multiple cases where users can be manipulative in nature.
In the Pocket Arena ecosystem, our users enjoy playing games in a legitimate way but we have experienced a handful (less than 5%) of users who are abusing this ecosystem and harming other users only by exploiting the games.
Even though these malicious users are not many in terms of numbers, we have investigated that they have exchanged enormous amounts of total XP into wPOC that damages most of other healthy users and investors.
Why aPOC?
Since the launch of NFT Castle Defense, we have been serving a number of notices and warnings to users, that bot gaming activities are not allowed in Pocket Arena.
Back in Sep 2021, we audited Castle XP, downgraded quite a few NFT Castles and reduced their XP which was acquired illegitimately. i.e by multitap gaming, bot playing, etc.
In order to create a sustainable, healthy and fair esports gaming ecosystem, we are also starting an audit for players wPOC to detect those which have been collected in illegitimate ways.
Therefore we are introducing “aPOC” which means audited, KYC’ed and approved POC which can be cashed out into Metamask wallet and can be used to buy NFT Castles and other NFT items in Pocket Arena.
How to transfer my wPOC to aPOC
- In Q1 2022, Team Pocket Arena will conduct a special audit on wPOC collected since the launch of Castle Defense (July 2021). Depending on the result of the audit, necessary actions will be taken which will include retrieving wPOC and/or banning malicious accounts for extreme cases.
- After the audit is complete, users are required to complete their KYC which includes ID and mobile phone verification.
After the successful completion of the above 2 steps, then only wPOC will be converted to aPOC. Users with aPOC will be allowed to do the following:
– Withdrawal to your Metamask wallet (New fee policy — You must have at least 20 POC in your Metamask wallet to withdraw your POC next time.).
– Purchase of NFT Castle in the P2P NFT Castle Market and other NFT items in Pocket Arena.
Most of Pocket Arena users who did not use bots/multitab playing have nothing to worry about, because this audit will only hamper the accounts who have practiced malicious activities. This process will benefit the most of users and investors who want to enjoy and grow this Pocket Arena together.

$POC Staking Policy
Dear Pocket Arena users
With relation to the recent applications for the 500–1000 POC withdrawal request, we received 1,144 applications within a day and the withdrawal request is temporarily closed.
We are very cautious of releasing this amount of POC at one go as it could potentially result in the high volatility of POC price at this point of time. Thus, after careful consideration, we have decided to implement a new staking policy and a lottery policy.
Staking Policy — Those who staked a certain number of POC for a certain time of period will earn an interest on their staked POC.
Lottery Policy — Those who staked POC for over a certain period and for a certain amount will also receive lottery tickets which will enable them to participate in the pre-sales of the next upcoming NFT Castles for a new city map after Luzern.
Currently our devs are implementing KYC procedures and the details of staking policy. Until then, we kindly ask you to have patience and to have utmost understanding.
No one wants to sell hard-earned $POC at a low price.
This is the main reason why we want to implement this new staking and lottery policy and we apologise that the received applications would be delayed further. The details of the Staking and Lottery policy will be announced within a few weeks time. After that we will re-start the official withdrawal process of $POC with KYC. We are pushing hard to give some nice Christmas gifts to you.
As announced earlier, $POC will be used as a sole payment method at P2P Castle Market, starting from Q1 2022. We may be having various NFT items within Pocket Arena Economy, not only NFT Castles, but also NFT Town Center buildings, NFT decoration items for your land. Therefore, we expect the demand of $POC will increase significantly by then.
Please note that the special one-off withdrawal event of up to 100 POC is still valid. We will start to receive requests from 09th December 2021 as announced which does not require any KYC. This event will benefit as many people as possible.

How to Buy POC on PancakeSwap
PancakeSwap allows us to swap tokens and in this article we will provide you with some basic wallet information around PancakeSwap and how to buy POC on PancakeSwap, which includes setting up your wallet and adding POC tokens to your wallet.
BSC Smart Contract Address: https://bscscan.com/token/0x1b6609830c695f1c0692123bd2fd6d01f6794b98

You can click the link below and view the BUSD/POC trading pair directly. Please add POC and BUSD once you are prompted to add them in your Metamask when you do the trade/swap.
Currently it is shown as “Unknown Source”. No worries. We are working with Trust Wallet and the BSC Team to get verified and add our logo.
Tick “I understand” and “Import”
After “Import”, you should be able to see POC in your Metamask wallet.
Recommended Wallet
It is recommended to use the MetaMask wallet on your PC browser. The PC browser can preferably be Google Chrome.
You will have to set up Metamask wallet by installing the MetaMask extension for your Chrome browser. Log in to https://metamask.io/ ,select the “Download” option and then click on “Install MetaMask for Chrome”
You will then be directed to the chrome web store where you will have to click on “Add to Chrome” to add the extension to your Chrome browser.
After this you will be directed to set up your MetaMask wallet by importing Secret Recovery Phrase or creating a new wallet and Secret Recovery Phrase. After following these steps your MetaMask wallet will be ready and the icon will appear next to the Chrome address bar.
Adding the Binance Smart Chain Network Compatibility to your Wallet
Since we will be using MetaMask with PancakeSwap to send POC to wallet, we will need to convert MetaMask to Binance Smart Chain compatibility.
MetaMask is an Etherum wallet so you need to add Binance Smart Chain capability to MetaMask so that you can use Binance Smart Chain tokens also known as BEP20 tokens.
To do this click on the MetaMask extension in chrome, followed by clicking the circular profile icon located in the top right corner. Then click on settings.
Under settings select “Network” and “Add Network”
Enter the following details as shown below to add the Binance Smart Chain network to your Metamask wallet.
Network Name: BSC Mainnet
RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56
Currency Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com/
Once this is done, click on save and this is how the wallet will look like with the Binance Smart Chain compatibility added.
Please Note: And before swapping, you must connect MetaMask.
Adding POC token to MetaMask
To add POC token to your MetaMask click on “Import Tokens” and enter the following details as shown below.
Token Contract Address: 0x1b6609830c695f1c0692123bd2fd6d01f6794b98
Token Symbol: POC
Token Decimal: 18
Adding BUSD token to MetaMask
PancakeSwap supports BUSD so your MetaMask must have BUSD. To do this, click on “Import Tokens” and enter the following details as shown below.
Token Contract Address: 0xe9e7cea3dedca5984780bafc599bd69add087d56
Token Symbol: BUSD
Token Decimal: 18
After setting BUSD, withdraw BUSD to MetaMask on a Crypto Exchange such as Binance, and must select BSC (BEP20) as Network.

$POC PancakeSwap listing Date and Other Updates
We have finally decided the PancakeSwap listing date for our $POC token. The date is as follows:
$POC PancakeSwap listing Date: 30th November 2021, 10AM CET
POC- BUSD pair
BSC Smart Contract Address (newly updated final one) https://bscscan.com/token/0x1b6609830c695f1c0692123bd2fd6d01f6794b98
Currently, we are implementing advanced anti-bot measures to prevent malicious bot activities that could happen on PancakeSwap.
Also, the beta version of wPOC withdrawal process on the new PA wallet may be open from the 1st of December 2021. We believe security is the most important thing in this withdrawal process and we are currently implementing crucial security and validity measures such as two factor authentication and bot user detection.
This updated new PA wallet with wPOC withdrawal function will be in its beta stage, and may require continuous bug fixing and function updates. For that reason, the withdrawal process would require some manual verification and this process could take a couple of days depending on the withdrawal requests.
Please note the newly updated smart contracts addresses for POC on ERC20 and BEP20 as below. We had to re-deploy the smart contracts due to a minor bug which was rectified and confirmed by our auditor, Hacken.
See the full report.
ERC20: https://etherscan.io/token/0x095cf7f3e82a1dcadbf0fbc59023f419883ea296
BEP20: https://bscscan.com/token/0x1b6609830c695f1c0692123bd2fd6d01f6794b98
We have detected there are already a few fake POC addresses created by scammers on BSC. Please be aware of these fake addresses and always check the legit address of POC.
In other important updates, we regret to inform you that the previously postponed IDO on PAID Ignition Network will NOT be rescheduled. Also no other IDO platform is pursued.
$POC Audit report
We are pleased to announce that our $POC, ERC20/BEP20, cross-chain token has got a “Well-Secured” rating by leading smart contract auditor, Hacken. This cross-chain token is a highly innovative token, requiring advanced levels of blockchain technology. We are particularly proud of this audit result because it proves that our blockchain tech team is highly skilled and security orientated.
The reason we decided to go for this cross-chain is that Ethereum networks gas price is getting insanely higher and it does not make sense to pay such high gas fee for game related digital assets, yet ERC20 is a standard protocol which is beneficial for many exchange listing and NFTs open markets, which will help Pocket Arena team to widen our ecosystem. Binance Smart Chain is widely used for many gaming tokens and the gas fee is reasonable and affordable, which is much more practical for game users in reality.
In October 2021, we contacted Hacken for a Smart Contract Code Review and Security Analysis. Following which security assessment of Pocket Arena’s smart contract and code review was conducted.
The smart contract was scanned for commonly known and more specific vulnerabilities such as Reentrancy, Ownership Takeover, Timestamp Dependence, Gas Limit and Loops and more.
Deployed Contracts:
1. ERC20 Address: https://etherscan.io/token/0x095cf7f3e82a1dcadbf0fbc59023f419883ea296
2. BEP20 Address:https://bscscan.com/token/0x1b6609830c695f1c0692123bd2fd6d01f6794b98
Result
According to the assessment, Pocket Arena’s smart contracts are well-secured.
