Play to Build

Phala World (PW) is a Metaverse Gamification Extension based on the Phala Network blockchain. The new ‘Play to Build’ concept combines user behavior, characters, communities, and sci-fi stories on the Phala blockchain, integrating strategy, development, MMORPG, and other game types. We are also collaborating with RMRK and Bit.Country to develop NFT and Metaverse gaming infrastructure.

‘Play to Build’ aims to link the real behaviors on the Phala network chain with the activities of Phala World in the Metaverse. PW is a game that is truly built for the community, turning the community’s contribution to Phala network into assets in the game. Players can earn, trade, and build while playing the game. This will be a true innovation of the gaming industry and will lead the future.

Meanwhile, PW is one of the best application cases of Fat Contract. on one hand, it ensures that PW is truly decentralized and trustless through its computing Power + confidentiality. On the other hand, ONLY Fat Contract has the ability to solve storage and high-speed processing of massive data, connect AR and distributed storage solutions, provide low-latency responses for user requests, and truly realize the vision of the Web3 Metaverse.

Phala World Structure

NFT is Your only Pass to Enter PW

The story of PW happens 50 years after the AI ​​awakened and launched a war. Affected by the long-lasting war, the world is in ruins. The four races that survived the war coexist in this wasteland, collectively called 'Survivors'. The condition for players to enter PW Metaverse and explore is to have a complete NFT pass (PASS).

A complete NFT pass includes 2 parts: Shell and Spirit.

  • Shell NFT

Shell corresponds to the appearance of NFT, and a complete Shell NFT includes race and occupation. There are four races (actual name to be determined): Human, Robot, AI, and intelligent creature. And five occupations for each race, which are Druid (Hardware Druid), Warrior (Robo Warrior), Merchant (Negotiate Trade), Master (Hacker Wizard), and Monk (Web3.0 Monk). Survivors can only choose their race freely and occupation depends on their on-chain activities. After race selection, the NFT will be displayed in the initial form of the corresponding race—humans, for example, the primitive form is the embryo. And for AI, it is data fragmentation.

In the game, the same race will carry out activities in the same territory, and can continuously evolve through cooperation to expand the territory and snatch resources. Different races can carry out interracial activities such as war, cooperation, trade, etc. under certain circumstances.

  • Spirit NFT

Spirit determines the productivity of the game and is the terminal medium linking Phala World and the virtual world. All races can be upgraded to add other functions. The basic Spirit functions include armor replacement, language communication, quantification of self-attributes, career inquiry and introduction, task prompts, etc.

Spirit is a comprehensive reflection of the contribution to Phala network. The value of the Spirit depends on the evaluation of on-chain and off-chain behaviors and it cannot be traded. On-chain behaviors include participation in mining, staking, code submission, etc. Interactive behaviors include Twitter interaction, community activity, Phala community contribution, etc. Spirit can be obtained through airdrops or completing certain missions in PW, and only players with Spirit can be seen in PW. Players with Spirit will also upgrade on a regular basis. The PW system will automatically convert the data on the chain into Spirit values automatically. Upgraded Spirit will unlock more slots for equipment.

Players can truly participate in and explore Phala World when they hold Shell and Spirit at the same time.

How to Play?

Our vision is to build the world’s first ‘Play- to- Build’ Metaverse game that connects Phala World and on/off-chain actions in reality, where millions of players can turn their passion for gaming into real assets. Players will be able to play a game they enjoy, while simultaneously earning, trading, and building in a massive, open-world economy.

We understand that such an ambitious goal requires 100% focus and dedication. We are going to demonstrate excellence in the following areas:

  • MMORPG gameplay: Phala World will be fun and interactive. We plan to have a combination of MMORPG, strategy, trading, racial economy, and social-focused gameplay that will keep players engaged.
  • Play to Build mechanics: There will be an efficient and sustainable economy within Phala World where players can play to earn NFTs or connect on/off-chain action to build NFTs. Just like the real world economy, you can choose what you want to specialize in or play within the Phala World Economy. We will also add a plugin in a later version, which allows players from the game to have a real impact on the blockchain. Ender’s Game is the ultimate goal of PW.
  • Democracy-driven incentives: We understand the value of freedom. Each player will have chances to vote and develop strategies of their own race.
