Genopets, an old friend of Concept Art House, has never stopped moving forward. Recently, Genopets has a new project. The brand new baby Genopet is launched. Has such a cute appearance captured your heart? Come and join with Concept Art House!
Genopets has always adhered to the concept of "move-to-earn", and the project started in August 2021 and is the world's first Move-to-Earn NFT game. Its goal is to inspire an active lifestyle by rewarding players with XP points when they get up and move around. The Genopets platform tracks a user's movements via a smartphone or fitness wearable, and the more a person walks, the more mature the Genopets and the more valuable they become.
Based on their name alone, you might think Genopets are similar to Pokémon. However, Genopets added a fitness element to it, giving the program a unique twist. Looking at the broader blockchain gaming industry, the influence of Nintendo's gaming brands is undeniable. Illuvium will be released on Immutable X, with a focus on combat. Meanwhile, Chainmonsters will be MMO on the Flow blockchain, and the BSC ecosystem has seen various GameFi products move into the concept of monster capture and breeding. Such as Metamon and My DeFi Pet. Even the most popular blockchain games on the market take inspiration from Pokémon.
For Genopets holders, April 4th was a good day. It was, quite literally, the dawn of a new world. The popular NFT project introduced self-contained Habitats for holders of Genopets to mint and own.
Genopets’ creators describe Habitats as “beautiful generative 3D landscape NFTs that promote the enhancement and evolution of your Genopet and unlock your ability to earn KI regularly”. The artwork certainly lives up to this description. By owning a Habitat, players can harvest unrefined crystals that spawn within it. Specific elemental classes give holders specific crystal types. Using the Habitat Laboratory, the player can then refine (mint) these crystals.
Once this is done, there are two options: players can sell their crystals on the open market or apply them to their Genopet to change its appearance or unlock new movesets. Once a player has harvested and refined all the crystals they want, they try to swap their Habitat with another user in a mutually beneficial trade. Or, if you just love the piece of land you own, you can keep it.
Since the Habitat minting process launched, activity on the secondary markets has been intense. Over at Magic Eden, one of the biggest Solana marketplace, there are 328 listed Genopet Habitats. The Habitat NFTs have sustained these high prices since appearing on the secondary markets, a sign of the strong support the Genopet project enjoys. However, this high demand is coupled with low supply. And we all know where that leads.
Technically, the minting process is open for anyone to take part in. But in order to do so, a user needs five crystals, one terraform seed and 10 GENE to do it. For someone to buy these things on the secondary markets would cost around $700. So really, it’s the devoted community who have endured from the beginning who will be supplying the booming secondary market with newly-minted Habitats.
Genopets, which has been making steady progress and constantly developing new projects, is full of mysterious unknown areas, inviting everyone to continue to explore. Concept Art House is also constantly being attracted by Genopets. In the future, CAH will continue to work hand in hand with Genopets and go further in the blockchain field!
