What are Genopets?
This mobile game, based on Solana and centers on an enjoyable and healthy lifestyle, is free to play. With blockchain-enabled mechanics, Genopets uses data collected by fitness wearables. The game inspired Pokemon’s combat concepts, Tomogotchi’s evolution stages, and Animal Crossing’s crafting and managing framework. At the same time, rewarding players with crypto as they worked through physical exercise and minigames.
Albert Chen and Benjamin Tse were the founders of Genopets. Chen is engineering, economics, and marketing expert who has founded multiple startups. On the other hand, Tse has over 16 years of product design, UI/UX, and SaaS experience in the blockchain industry, having begun working in it in 2016. In early 2021, he had a brief stint as an NFT marketplace advisor.
How to Play Genopets?
Genopets is a digital pet game that centers on unique creatures created to develop and change in response to their owner’s real-world choices. The potential of each Genopet can be increased via sharing personal data and completing tasks, which will boost its stats and prepare it for combat.
Each Genopet is developed through nurture and combat and encoded with the player’s personality and fitness data. Users are expected to be physically tested by the nurture mechanics but mentally by the battle mechanics.
Many well-known data capturing devices, such as Google Fit, Fitbit, Oura, and others, will eventually be used in the game to capture various biometric data, including heart rate, sleep, and activity. These will be incorporated into the gameplay, allowing players to gain KI by being active.
Genopets Token
GENE tokens, used for utility and governance, govern the Genopets ecosystem. Players may vote on new game features, get priority VIP access to upcoming in-game feature releases, and earn $GENE tokens by staking GENE tokens. Unfortunately, GENE is in short supply, with 100 million in circulation.
