Gwyn’s behavior evolves based on user engagement, offering a personalized experience within a colorful digital environment. ^{[2] [3]}

Features

Adopting Gwyns

Adopting a Gwyn begins with an NFT minting process, where players use the Ethereum blockchain to create a unique digital pet. Each Gwyn is represented by an NFT containing metadata that defines its appearance, skills, and lineage, all secured and permanently stored on-chain. To mint a pet, players must connect an Ethereum-compatible wallet and hold the game’s native token, $GWYN, which is used to pay transaction fees. Players gain full ownership of their virtual companion after selecting their desired type of Gwyn and completing the minting. These pets can then be cared for, trained, or traded within the game, with every action transparently recorded on the blockchain. Each minted Gwyn also has a 25% chance of being rare, introducing an element of scarcity and potential value fluctuation in the game’s NFT marketplace. ^[4]

Roles

Each Gwyn can take on a specialized role that defines its function within the game. The Geologist studies terrain to locate optimal mining areas, while the Miner is built for field work, showing strong endurance and efficient resource collection. Treasure Hunters focus on exploration, seeking out hidden paths and rare items. Foremen manage operations by assigning tasks and improving the overall efficiency of mining activities. These roles add depth to gameplay and allow players to tailor Gwyn's contribution to fit different strategies within the ecosystem. ^[5]

Activities

Players can engage in various activities with their Gwyn pet to support its development and deepen their connection. These include training Gwyn to improve mining abilities, fishing to boost happiness and skills, and exploring the virtual world to uncover new areas and collect rare items. Each activity enhances the pet’s performance and contributes to game ecosystem progression.

Players care for their virtual miner pet, Gwyn, through various activities that impact performance and well-being. Mining emeralds is a core task, enabling players to earn in-game currency for upgrades and rare items. Feeding Gwyn with different virtual meals boosts energy, mood, and growth, while fishing offers a peaceful way to gather food that improves mining speed.

Sleep helps Gwyn recover stamina and maintain happiness; proper rest influences future performance. Walking introduces exploration, item collection, and environmental interaction, raising happiness and growth. Petting strengthens the emotional bond and boosts the love meter, unlocking deeper interaction. All activities contribute to Gwyn’s development and the broader in-game economy. ^[6]

NFT Marketplace

The NFT Marketplace is a blockchain-powered platform where players can trade their virtual pets with full transparency and verified ownership. Every transaction is securely recorded on-chain, ensuring a tamper-proof history and fostering user trust. Players can list their pets for sale in $GWYN or open them up to auction, creating opportunities to monetize rare traits or acquire new additions for gameplay. As the central hub of player-to-player commerce, the marketplace drives economic activity within the game, reflecting real-time supply, demand, and community engagement. ^[7]

GWYN

$GWYN is the primary currency of the Gwyn ecosystem, used to mint new NFT pets known as Gwyn. Each minting burns $GWYN, reducing its supply and helping maintain token value. Beyond minting, $GWYN is an access point to in-game resources that allows players to exchange it for Emeralds, the game's secondary currency. Emeralds are essential for purchasing food, medicine, and tools needed to care for and develop Gwyn. This structure creates a circular, player-driven economy where $GWYN fuels pet creation, sustains gameplay, and drives in-game economic activity. ^[8]

Burn Mechanism

$GWYN is designed with a built-in burn mechanism that activates once a new virtual pet NFT is minted. During this process, 20% of the $GWYN used is permanently removed from circulation. This reduces overall supply, helping to prevent inflation and sustain long-term token value. The burn mechanic ties the act of minting pets directly to the game's economic system, giving players a role in shaping supply and demand. Each minting becomes a strategic choice, as players consider the benefits of acquiring a new pet and the impact on $GWYN’s scarcity and market value. ^[9]
