Genopets is a Free-to-Play, Move-to-Earn NFT mobile game on Solana that makes it fun and rewarding to live an active lifestyle. Genopets’ Move-to-Earn NFT economy rewards your physical activity by translating the step data tracked by your smartphone or fitness wearable into in-game function. So every step you take in real life is a step in the Genoverse.
Genopets converts your real-life movement into XP, which you use to travel the Genoverse and progress through the game; we call this mechanic “ move-to-play.” By replacing traditional sedentary screen smashing and finger tapping with checking in on your progress as you move about your day, passively earning XP, you’ll be playing Genopets wherever you go just by staying active. This concept paired with a “play-to-earn” economy means that Genopets rewards you for your labor, coining the term “Move-to-Earn,” and creating the first Move-to-Earn NFT gaming experience.
Move-to-Play + Play-to-Earn = Move-to-Earn Gaming
Blockchain has allowed the gaming industry to implement some really cool new concepts and mechanics. The key innovation that influences the gameplay of Genopets is the use of NFTs.
In conventional mobile games, when you purchase limited-edition skins or character abilities with an in-game currency, those items and your efforts spent playing the game are stuck within the game’s walled garden. Once you stop playing the game, all that time, money, and valuable in-game items are null. NFT Games are changing the paradigm, fueling P2P trading in marketplaces, and creating entire economies built around gaming.
A wise man once said, “You can’t buy a Lambo with Monopoly money.”
That’s where Play-To-Earn NFT Gaming comes in. NFTs make it so you can actually own and sell the things you buy and earn in-game. And because other players also want or need those in-game items, these games are seeding decentralized marketplaces where players can convert their efforts into real-world value. So, instead of dumping time and money into a virtual vortex, you can spend it on assets that hold actual value, and when you’re ready, you can resell them for actual money.
Now that we’ve cleared that up, to get a complete understanding of “Move-to-Earn,” let’s take a look at the ingredients and how they’re measured:
Move-to-Play
Move-to-Play gaming is not a new concept. From DDR to the later VR games like Beat Saber, game developers have been flirting with the notion of finding ways to create fun gameplay out of physical movement. However, as fun as those games are, we have yet to realize the true potential of “Move-to-Play,” which, we feel, lies at the heart of mobile gaming.” Why? What’s a more fitting way to usefor your physical movement, than a device you take with you wherever you go? As it’s only possible today, we have reimagined the idea of you, your physical activity, and your mobile device, creating the mobile-gaming symbiosis that is Genopets.
Moreover, as fitness lovers ourselves, we think apps like Fitbit and Strava are fantastic. They help keep us motivated and connected with like-minded communities. However, as gamers, we couldn’t resist the urge to build a narrative around their mechanics. So, for the days when we need a little extra push (Quarantine, guys, am-I-right? Covid’s got us antsy!), we’ve decided to go a step further by gamifying every little step you take in the real world. Genopets aims to add an extra layer of incentive by introducing exciting, immersible, dream-like gameplay to your daily life, making it easier for you to genuinely enjoy the steps it takes to maintain a more productive lifestyle. And all you need is your iOS or Android device to summon your Genopet and start earning rewards.
Play-to-Earn
Play-to-Earn gaming is a revolutionary model proven by Axie Infinity’s phenomenal success, helping players worldwide earn a living wage. It allows gamers and collectors alike to have absolute ownership and sovereignty over their in-game assets while increasing their value as they play and progress. “Play-to-Earn” turns your in-game grind into real-world earnings.
In the Genoverse, there are three different roles you can play to earn:
- Trainer
Collectors may play Genopets with the purpose of creating and upgrading the coolest Genopet you’ve ever seen to sell it on the open marketplace. - Merchant
Merchants may purchase, create and terraform the most mystifying habitats to farm and refine rare and valuable crystals to regularly trade on the open marketplace. - Landlord
Landlords may purchase habitats for the purpose of leasing them to other players to get a steady flow of resources.
From URL to IRL
We live in a world where many things that we want to do, or know we should do, tend not to feel all that fun, exciting, or sexy. For example, no one wants to eat their vegetables; that’s why we make them tasty. So, to help solve the problem, Genopets combines the “Play-to-Earn” and “Move-to-Play” mechanics in hopes of providing enough long-lasting incentive to help you get to know your fitness potential and your intrinsic worth. “Move-to-Earn” is a mechanic that allows us to achieve the goal of the game — to help establish and maintain a healthy emotional connection with taking care of our bodies and minds. We believe that adding the fun of gaming to our simple daily movements and long-term fitness goals is the key missing ingredient to getting us to enjoy working towards the thriving lifestyle that we all deserve.
Whether you’re going about your daily life or choosing to see how far you can push your limits, the leaps are always going to be bigger than the hurdles. Genopets will take your movement and convert it into in-game progress using your smartphone or fitness wearable data. And as you evolve, so does your Genopet.
Various factors play a role in the development of your Genopet, such as the use of Habitats. Habitats boost your Genopet’s evolution and regularly generate $KI and special crystals to use or sell in the open marketplace. (Click here to read more about Habitats and how they work.)
Genopets creates a socially impactful framework around the way we earn, play, and live day-to-day. We believe that through financial, social, and emotional incentives, your daily grind can bring you a new sense of fulfillment in what might have otherwise felt lackluster. You are the writer of your destiny; we’re honored to join you as you direct and produce it.
