Jot Art is a multiplayer gaming platform that aims to offer a cross-chain metaverse experience. It incorporates RPG elements, allowing players to enhance abilities through items from enemies and the environment.^[1]

Overview

Jot Art, established in 2022 and managed by the KaJ Labs foundation, aims to create a cross-chain metaverse that enables play, creation, ownership, and earning. The platform features multiplayer gameplay with mixed RPG elements, allowing players to enhance their abilities through items collected from the environment and defeated enemies while integrating artificial intelligence, mixed reality, NFTs, and Web3 gaming.

The metaverse promotes a player-owned economy, allowing users to buy, sell, and trade resources earned through gameplay. Players can engage in player-versus-player competitions or complete quests across various experiences. In-game items are represented as NFTs and can be utilized in multiple games, enabling players to earn, stake, or sell characters and assets. The Jot Art marketplace facilitates NFT trading with the $JOT token, which also serves governance functions for the Jot Art DAO. Initial NFT collections from Finesse: Shadow were launched in February 2022, with additional collections planned for future release.^{[2][3][4][1][5][10]}

Products

Finesse

Jot Art's primary product is the Finesse game series, which includes Shadow Warriors and The Kingdom. These Play-to-Earn games aim to reward players for their performance in battles. Initially supporting tokens from BNB Chain and Polygon, the series plans to transition to Lithosphere for enhanced cross-chain gameplay.

In Shadow Warriors, players engage in combat to liberate the world of Draponia, upgrading their abilities through resources collected during gameplay. The Kingdom features a similar RPG structure, set in a kingdom affected by darkness. Adventure mode (PVE) does not require an initial investment, while access to Arena mode (PVP) necessitates the purchase of NFTs. Holders of the future "Mythic Collection" NFTs may also earn rewards through staking.^[6]

Tokenomics

Jot Art Token ($JOT)

The JOT token aims to function as a payment and governance tool within the Jot Art metaverse. Token holders can stake their tokens for rewards, pay for in-game services, and participate in governance voting. Additionally, players can earn JOT by engaging in games and contributing user-generated content. The token is based on the BNB Chain (BEP-20).^[7]
