Hey hello how ya doin’? Good to see ya! Come on in!
Hey hello how ya doin’? Good to see ya! Come on in!
And welcome to another Apeiron Interview! We’ve got a fun one for you this week as we join Joseph “Coop” Cooper from Earn Alliance, who has a whole kitchen’s worth of delectable goodies cooking to round out your delicious Apeiron banquet.
Just a quick reminder that we’re blasting off to the Hidden Lagoon Nebula on another Expedition from Nov 17–24th. There’ll be 800 Foonie Emblems available for those who stake their Planets, so check it out! The earlier you stake, the higher your odds of getting rewards, so head on over to our Marketplace to find out more! The Expedition will go live at 10am UTC.
Now then, let’s dive into their proverbial pantry and see what Earn Alliance has got cooking for us!
FM: Howdy! And thanks for making the time to talk to us! Could you introduce yourself to our readers?
Coop: Hey everyone, I’m Joseph Cooper, but everyone calls me Coop. I’m the founder of Earn Alliance and it’s great to be here today man. Little bit about me: I’m originally from California, been living and working in Hong Kong for 8 years. I’ve been in the game industry for 20 years — since I was in high school, when I was modding games. Since then, I built a couple of successful game companies, sold them off, did some other stuff in developer tools, and am now coming to a new start with Earn Alliance. Back in the startup game and back in the game industry!
FM: That is quite the colorful tale! So now we know who you are, could you tell us a bit more about your newest company, Earn Alliance?
Coop: Absolutely. Well, we started off as a guild for Axie Infinity. Then we noticed there weren’t a lot of tools for managing your assets in that game. So we started working on our toolsets — and it kind of took off. We currently manage over 500k Axies. We even have a guild whose Axies we manage — they own more Axies than are currently available on the market.
FM: Woah! That’s insane!
Coop: It is pretty insane haha. But yeah, so that’s how we got started. And building off of that, we now see Earn Alliance as a community to connect other communities. There are a lot of different actors in the space right now — influencers, gamers, Discord junkies, guilds, crypto investors, Metaverse natives and new arrivals — just to name a few! We see Earn Alliance as helping to link up all these guys, and to inform them all.
We’re actually building a game directory, which has a full list of web3 games. We’ve got over 2500 games planned to be added on the directory now, and it’s growing all the time, so users can hop in and check out the games they might be interested in.
FM: 2500! That’s a lot of games.
Coop: Yeah it is! The game directory represents our commitment to connect our communities in deeper ways. And it’s not the only thing we’re doing. We’re a bunch of gamers, man. We like to play games, but a lot of projects aren’t out yet. So we’re hosting a ton of tournaments to keep people busy while we wait for all the new releases.
FM: Awesome, awesome. Ok, so moving on to Apeiron…how did you hear about us? And what were your first thoughts about our project?
Coop: So I actually knew Gem [Ng, Foonie Magus Chief Technical Officer], we had some mutual colleagues. And he knew that we were developing tools for Axie, and so he reached out to us. So that’s how we got to talking.
FM: Ooo neat! I’m sitting next to Gem right now! But that’s not important…impressions then! Apeiron. What do you think?
Coop: My thoughts on it? It’s awesome man. Like totally unique. God game + card battler? I mean there’s nothing else like it.
FM: The first and only NFT god game!
Coop: I mean it’s not only unique among web3, but even web2! Like Apeiron is just bringing something completely new to the table. It’s very cool, very exciting. And the tokenomics is great — we like how there’s different ways to play and earn.
But at the end of the day, the game just looks good. Compared to a lot of other web3 projects, the quality is just that much higher. So we’re hyped for it big time!
FM: We agree with everything you say SO MUCH. Ok so then you mentioned you knew Gem and that was kind of how you got to learn about us. So can you talk a little bit about the collaboration between Apeiron and Earn Alliance?
Coop: We’re developing a full suite of customized tools for managing Apeiron assets, and there are a few different ways we’re doing that. First, we’re making tools that will help you manage assets at scale, in bulk. There’s going to be a point in time when you have a lot of Apeiron NFTs, and we want to make it easy, convenient, and efficient for you to manage your ownership of these assets.
Second, we’re putting together a tool that we’re calling “breed party,” although the name isn’t finalized haha. Basically, one thing we’ve noticed is that another user might have a Planet you would love to breed one of your Planets with — and maybe the same goes for them. But you may not know them, and therefore not trust them enough to sell them your Planet and hope that they, in good faith, return your assets to you later and you both walk away richer. They might just keep everything for themselves. Well with the breed party tool, the idea is that we act as a kind of middleman — we secure the breeding, locking in Planets on both sides until both parties get what they want and can walk away happy.
FM: Wow, it’s clear that you really know your stuff about Apeiron! These tools sound like they could be very helpful.
Coop: Thanks! But yeah that’s not all. We’re developing a tool that will notify you if a certain Planet appears on sale — you can set the parameters so that you find just the right one, and then you can buy it and do more breeding. And we know that they’re are a lot of different ways to breed — like focusing on getting a ton of Normal Planets, or breeding more competitively — so we’re working on developing a number of strategies that you’ll be able to set to help guide you in your trades.
And finally, we’ll have a number of badges and missions for Apeiron — and anyone who uses our tools or supports Apeiron’s community can get these badges, which’ll grant access to airdrops — more and more for higher tiers.
FM: That does in fact sound like a full suite of tools! Does this tool suite have a name?
Coop: Yup! These Apeiron tools will be under the banner of Earn Management.
FM: Fabulous — so if you’re passionate about Apeiron, we encourage everyone in our community to be on the lookout for the release of these tools to give you the edge in Apeiron asset management. And with that I think we’re just about out of time! Thanks for chatting with us, Coop! One last question: good or evil?
Coop: Me? Hmmm…you know, I don’t know why, but I always trend towards evil haha. Maybe because evil is often the underdog? I’m not sure. I’ll try to be nice to some of the doods though.
FM: Sounds like you’ll be skirting the thin gray line between good and evil haha. Great! Well thanks again Coop for this exclusive interview! See you next time!
Well gang, that just about wraps this one up. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for when Earn Management drops their Apeiron tools!. In the meantime, head on over to our Discord and plot your own strategies for Planet breeding and godiverse exploring.

And as always, thanks for reading, godlings. We’ll see you next time.
