The Pettoverse, a decentralized metaverse where creators and players own their assets, came up among numerous play-to-earn games to show how perfect the combination of the funny game and animal support can be.
With every small step, it is possible to make Earth a better place and we want to start with the support of endangered animal conservation.
Despite a rising quantity of initiatives around the problem of saving flora and fauna, often people tend to avoid direct interaction with global problems due to psychological pressure and discomfort “Out of sight out of mind”. We want to approach the topic from a different angle and focus on creating an entertaining and fun experience, which has an impact logic built-in.
Petto makes it possible to build global awareness and accumulate a positive impact on the environment through the game process of every single individual.
The main goal of Petto as a social game is to create a continuous flow of support that is used for the protection and conservation of endangered animals. The Gamification approach allows going beyond a one-time donation, but thanks to the permanent process of interaction among the game community, creates a cumulative flow of support.
Pettos are game characters that can be mythical or real animals. In the case of real animals, we are creating a specific category of “Ultra Rare” animals that exist as limited characters throughout the entire game. The availability of the Ultra Rare characters is based on the IUCN list for critically endangered species. Every game character which is based on an endangered species is ultra-rare and only available in the exact number of the animals remaining in the wild. With this approach, we want to raise the problem awareness and the value for such characters at the same time.
For example, there are only 370 Sumatra Tigers left on the planet. In this case, the game would only have 370 of the specific tiger characters, and the proceeds from the game character sales would be directed to selected animal conservation organizations.
We have set up the game logic and a smart contract that ensures that 15% of all game proceeds will be directly accumulated in a dedicated animal support account and released to animal conservation organizations.
All financial support will be transferred over the Ethereum blockchain to so-called Ethereum wallets, which will be identified and publicly disclosed on our website and the channels of all partners.
Our official partner is WildLife SOS.
The organization was established to make lasting changes to protect and conserve India’s natural heritage, forest, and biodiversity. They actively work towards protecting Indian wildlife, conserving habitat, studying biodiversity, conducting research, and creating alternative and sustainable livelihoods for erstwhile communities that depend on wildlife for sustenance.
