As the Christmas bells rang, xPET and its token XPET also reached a new high. As of press time, XPET was temporarily reported at $0.8241. The rise of the token was not only due to the good news of the token landing on CEX and the advancement of cooperation with OKX, but more importantly, the official updated the content of its white paper.

What are the specific contents of the update? How will the change in mechanism affect the future development of the game? Odaily Planet Daily will introduce and interpret it below.

New Roadmap

The first thing worth noting in the new white paper is the specific roadmap for the next three months updated by founder @Michaeltalkhere, which is as follows:

Adventure (PvE) - Week 1 (December 21 - December 28, 2023):

  • Start the adventure (player and environment) function.

  • Allows users to include their pets in the adventure.

PvP Beta (Private Test) - Weeks 2-3 (December 29, 2023 - January 11, 2024):

  • Develop and release a beta version of the player-vs-player feature.

  • There are limited spots available for private testing to identify and resolve potential issues.

PvP Ver 1 (Open Version) - Week 4 (January 12 - January 18, 2024):

  • Released the first public version of the PvP feature.

  • Allows users to engage in PvP combat with enhanced features.

PvP Ver 2 (Full Version) - Week 5-6 (January 19 - February 1, 2024)

  • Finalize and complete PvP functionality based on user feedback and testing.

  • Introducing additional elements and improvements to enhance the PvP experience.

Multichain - Weeks 7-9 Weeks 7-9 (February 2 - February 22, 2024):

  • Started implementing multi-chain support.

  • Explore and integrate compatibility with multiple blockchain networks for enhanced flexibility.

More SocialFi Features - Weeks 10-12 (February 23 - March 14, 2024):

  • Introducing additional SocialFi features.

  • Enhance the social and interactive aspects of the platform to provide a more engaging experience.

It can be seen that the ambition of the project is not just to exist as an ordinary Social Ponzi narrative, but to add more content to enrich the game ecology. In the previous version, the interaction between players and pets was only feeding and upgrading, and the new roadmap has added PVE\PVP and other functions. It is foreseeable that the interaction between players and projects will become more, but the update of functions may also cause a small number of "idle parties" to leave.

Introducing PVE Mechanism

The first week update of xPET introduces a PVE mechanic that allows users to participate in exciting adventures with their pets. The specific mechanics are as follows:

When a user has a pet of level 10 or higher, the user can participate in adventures. Adventures are divided into the following three levels, each corresponding to a different area that the pet can participate in;

Adventure Tier 1: Pets of levels 10 to 29 can participate.

Adventure Tier 2: Pets of level 30 or higher can participate.

Adventure Tier 3: Open only during special events (each event is different and may be open to everyone or limited to those who meet certain criteria).

Adventure also brings rewards, the main reward of which is the token BPET. The amount of BPET is determined by 10% of the total income generated from the project store purchases, pet upgrades, and factory upgrades from the previous day.

This 10% of the total income is evenly distributed in the form of BPETs among the various tiers of the adventure, and the specific distribution ratio depends on the proportion of players in each tier. The higher the pet level, the more BPET rewards you get in the adventure, and the rewards of the next tier are always greater than those of the previous tier.

In addition, when participating in the adventure, there is a chance to get 1 to 5 star "xEGG" fragment rewards. These xEGG fragments can be combined together to create 1 to 5 star NFTs - xEGG.

The official will also establish a leaderboard for players participating in PVE (the points on the leaderboard will be calculated based on the number of pets owned by the user, the level of each pet, the factory level, and the amount of support received by the player). At the same time, the official will distribute 10% of the total income from the previous day's upgrade activities, pet purchases, etc. to the participants of the adventure, bringing special benefits to those who participate from the beginning, and their income will gradually increase with the increase in participating users.

Conclusion

xPET, which was once thought to be in a death spiral, is in good shape. This update shows the ambition of the project team - to continue to expand the flywheel while adding new mechanisms. SocialFi track is also gradually declining due to the dual influence of Friend.Tech and Inscription.

Can xPET bring the narrative it depicts to life? Let’s wait and see.
