New Phala Network Project offers a Play-to-Build approach for players to enjoy
SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / 17 April 2023 / Have you ever thought: What really happens behind the scenes on a blockchain? Who are all these people and what do they do? Is there a whole world out there just out of sight, just beyond the horizon? What if we could bring that world to life? What if we could visualize what everyone was doing? This goes far beyond addresses and balances, this will be about connecting and understanding the context of all a user’s activity, on and off the chain. If we could do this, we could understand who did the most to push the ecosystem forward, celebrate them and even reward them. Moreover, we can even motivate others to do the same.
This vision is exactly what the team at Phala Network is building with PhalaWorld.
PhalaWorld: Soulbound Concept
PhalaWorld is a digital representation of a user’s progression on the Phala network. PhalaWorld uses a soulbound non-fungible token (NFT) system first conceptualized in the article “Soulbound,” published by Vitalik Buterin. It emphasizes the concept of “proof of attendance” derived from World of Warcraft. Players must participate in certain activities to obtain the most powerful Soulbound items instead of simply buying them for money. With soulbound NFTs, players can have unique items and characters that cannot be transferred. This system creates a unique avatar for players to show off that is unique and truly earned. A reputation that matters.
The underlying standard of the NFTs is RMRK 2.0, which allows composition. Phala says PhalaWorld is one of the first projects to implement the soul-bound concept, which enables it to create the play-to-build (P2B) concept. P2B brings communities together and encourages them to play and build their own characters.
Gate pass to PhalaWorld
Two prerequisites are required to enter the PhalaWorld gaming ecosystem: Spirit NFT and Shell NFT.
The Spirit NFT is what identifies a user in PhalaWorld. It is a soul-bound token (SBT) 2.0 NFT, which makes it non-transferable, so it is only available to one user. Anyone can claim a free coin spirit, but the level depends on the player’s actions. Players can level their spirit by continuously contributing to the Phala network.
Shell NFT corresponds to the user’s appearance in PhalaWorld and can be sold or transferred. Depending on the level, players can perform advanced shots on their Shell NFT. Shell NFT differs from traditional profile picture (PFP) NFT in that users are given the option to customize it.
In the previous version of PhalaWorld Shell NFT, minting a shell that a player wanted was purely random, but after adjusting the strategy, players will now be able to get an NFT they like at a reasonable price, allowing them to take control of how their character looks.
Apart from those two, it seals NFT, which is the proof of all the activities a user has been involved in. The company says they have a action which makes participation more immersive and fun.
The future of PhalaWorld
The PhalaWorld Marketplace just launched recently and you can trade your Shell NFTs and browse the Ultra-High-Definition NFTs other users have created and designed. The team is also working on the gamification of PhalaWorld, aiming to bring more tools and fun to users. PhalaWorld is just at the beginning of exploring where the vision can go. Having laid the foundation for a playable character, a Spirit + Shell, the question now is where can the players go, what can they do? In life, people tend to only do something if they care about it, and to care about it, they need to see it, feel it. The challenge for PhalaWorld now is to reveal and visualize important aspects of the underlying ecosystem and motivate the PhalaWorld player base to participate and contribute value in the right places.
