Blockchain Cuties Universe

Blockchain Cuties Universe is an NFTs-based blockchain gaming that utilizes the model Play-to-Earn to incentivize gamers through their gaming activities on-chain. The company behind this great gaming platform was founded in 2017 and has been relevant when it comes to gaming platforms built on top of blockchain leveraging the technology to reward game lovers.

The gaming platform under discussion today is a virtual pet-based Play-to-Earn platform that offers gamers the opportunity to buy assets (virtual; cat, dog, hedgehog, bear, rabbit, fox, alien, owl, and so on), these assets can be purchased on the platform's marketplace while the gamer develops it to what they so wish to. In addition, all assets bought on the platform remain a unique asset of the owner because they are tokenized on the blockchain.

Blockchain cuties universe becomes more interesting for the fact that it is multi-chain, different blockchain networks can be utilized on the platform for gaming activity. It is different from so many blockchain gaming platform that is limited to only one or two blockchains which hinders interoperability to a great extent. As such, Blockchain Cuties Universe can be connected to different blockchains for a user to fulfill his/her gaming activities, some of these blockchains are HECO, ETHEREUM, EOS, TRON, MATIC, and so on.

Assets on the platform are simply referred to as cuties and you will get to understand they are really cuties as we proceed in this article. The cuties can be bought on the marketplace, breed, take on adventures/tournaments, battles, and so on, in that process, they get their level improved and more value is attached to them, remaining a gamer's unique asset until he/she decides to sell it to another user on-chain.

Features of Blockchain Cuties Universe

In this section of our lecture today, you will learn about a few important features of this gaming platform, and how to navigate your way around it as a beginner in the quest to play to earn. Let's see some of them.

Marketplace

A marketplace literally means a place where certain assets are being listed for sale, or a place that connects buyers and sellers. On Blockchain cuties, the marketplace is the platform that displays all cuties listed for sale, for siring, and all others. A game player can utilize this place to choose any cutie of choice and buy them as the player owns it to himself/herself.

Above is the landing page of the marketplace and gamers can choose their blockchain network and the type of cuties they are looking for. In the image above, I have selected TRON as my blockchain of choice and cat as an intended cutie for purchase. This filters the available cuties based on my preference and below is the list of cat cuties available on the TRON network on the Blockchain Cuties.

You can select any desired cuties to make a purchase, I have clicked on one and that's the image above. For you to purchase one, you must connect your crypto wallet, you will learn about this subsequently as you learn more in the coming lessons.

My Cuties

My cuties section is a collection of your assets (cuties), this is where you find different cuties you have bought and see the information about each, like the cutie type, the level, its generation, and so on. In this section, you can also choose to list the asset for sale, sire, breed, or send on an adventure.

Adventures

As humans, we often embark on adventures to get closer to the things in the world we live in and most importantly our immediate environment. These cuties can also be sent on adventures to learn more and gain sufficient experience about their virtual world. Each round of adventures embarked on by a cutie adds up to its achievements and improves its quality on-chain. Let's see a cutie sent on an adventure below.

From the top of the page, select adventure, click on " send on an adventure" under your cutie of choice, and choose a location for the adventure. For the cutie utilized for this lecture, it was sent on an adventure to the magical forest as we await what it comes back with. The cutie is busy looking for a foe in its adventure at the moment.

The tournament feature of this platform is where your cuties can engage in battles against other cuties owned by other players and in the process earn reasonable rewards. The tournaments take place at different timestamps and there are specific requirements required for each of those tournaments, a cutie must possess the one required for a tournament before it can be eligible for participation.
