CryptoPets: Digital Pet Game With Blockchain Cryptocurrency?

The CryptoPets platform is a place where people can manage to interact and hodl digital pets on the blockchain. These pets have been made possible by the non-fungible ERC-721 standard. The aim of those behind this project is to bring the blockchain to the masses via a user-friendly dApp. They have drawn their inspiration from successful platforms such as Neopets in the PokemonGo.

The developers have come up with an adoption that will be browser-based. However, the game is going to be launched on mobile for iOS and then Android thereafter. Since this project is designed as a social impact project, 20% of all proceeds from the pet sale will be sent to the World Wildlife Foundation.

This new ERC standard is unique. Unlike digital currencies, which require all tokens to be the same, the ERC721 standard allows the developers to create unique CryptoPets. Each cute collectible pet will be cryptographically unique from the others. To prove that each pet has special attributes unique to it, the creators rely on the immutability of the blockchain. The differences in each species will be in areas such as eye shape, color, feet type, and much more.

The CryptoPets Have Powers

To bring the pets to life, the creators decided to give them in-game powers. The attributes they have are Defense, Attack, Speed, and Heath. With the different stats, it will allow players to have an interactive ecosystem of districts and mini-games for the pet where they can breed, feed, and engage in competition. The base version of the first CryptoPets will come with twenty species of creatures. This kingdom is going to be divided into five classes. The classes will range from the common to the Mythical. The supply of a CryptoPet will depend on its class.

In the second version, there will be CryptoPet breeding and cross-breeding. The team has come up with a unique genetic algorithm that allows them to come up with new pets. During this process, mutations can lead to either positive or negative traits for the CryptoPet created. When a new animal is generated, it is randomly assigned attributes. These attributes will be based on the base species of its CryptoPet, characteristics, and stats of its parents.

For instance, a Unicorn would usually have better base attributes than a dog. Besides that, each species has unique characteristics in game. For instance, a T-Rex will usually have more attack features than a dog. To boost the characteristics of the cryptopets, owners can utilize the Cryptokibbles. To understand the details of how it will work, you will need to do a bit of further research.

In the game, there will also be the option for herd play. With this option, you will be able to join a herd of five and play an opposing team of five. The herds can have up to 50 members but no more. To take part in a match, opposing teams will have to stake CryptoKibbles. The winning team walks away with the Cryptokibbles and divides them among team members.
