How Does the Paradox Metaverse Work?
The Paradox Metaverse works in a straightforward way. That’s the best way to gain adoption. Their game is free to play. However, you will need NFTs to take part in the game. You can either buy or rent the NFTs. NFT owners can rent out their NFTs and earn passive income that way.
If you want to buy their NFTs, you can do this only on OpenSea. However, there’s also their own NFT marketplace. The alternative is to rent NFTs from other players. The game takes place in Paradox City and there are seven playable characters.
The game will follow a story. For instance, ‘The Prologue’ has three chapters. You can find missions all over Paradox City. Completing tasks earns you rewards. All missions follow the storyline. For example, all over the city, you can find portals. These bring you instantly to other parts of town or other planets. Missions take around 8 hours to complete. There’s a 24-hour stand-down period before you can start a new mission. Any in-game NFTs you win, you can’t sell for 7 days.
So, there are 5 different currencies. For instance,
- P-Bucks – (In-Game Virtual Currency)
- PARADOX – Token (ERC20)
- PARA – Characters & Land (NFT) (ERC721)
- ASSET – In-Game Assets (ERC-1155)
- PDAO – DAO (ERC-20)
