The first subscription-based blockchain game

Blockchain technology is disrupting many industries, and the gaming sector is no exception. Technology is rapidly changing the way online games are played, and introduces a new method of ownership and earning potential.

While blockchain games have gained interest recently, they still have some limitations that make them inaccessible to average users. First, most popular blockchain-based games require massive capital to buy avatars and in-game assets.

Interestingly, DRepublic has launched a new game that seeks to usher in a new wave of innovation in the blockchain gaming sector, allowing players to enjoy new experiences and enable broader earning opportunities. The biggest limitation for many blockchain games – the high entry cost required due to NFT purchases, for example – is also eliminated in Cradles, with all NFTs in the game free to collect, harvest and construct. Instead, it will give users access through subscriptions, much like the World of Warcraft model.

What are Cradles

Cradles: Origin of Species is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) built on the blockchain that leverages the power of AI and game engine development to provide better gameplay. Uniquely, it is one of the few developers to push the boundaries of what is possible with blockchain technology – especially the use of a new type of NFT protocol that will allow far more advanced game aspects beyond the static NFT aggregation tool that all games to date.

The metaverse company DRepublic created Cradles to give players experiences that have never been seen before in the gaming industry. The game gives players good freedom while they can earn passive income in several ways.

The platform allows players to experience a virtual world with a breathable economy depending on the players’ interactions.

How does it work?

Cradles is set in a prehistoric virtual world where players decide what happens in the ecosystem as time goes on. The game has an entropy system, which gives a realistic aging effect. The entropy system is enabled via a recently proposed token standard called the EIP-3664 protocol. The protocol, which was proposed by DRepublic, will add a time attribute to all assets in the game that can be collected during play.

Everything ages in the Cradles ecosystem; some things mean a gradual loss of value over time, and others represent an addition of beneficial properties.

Even the buildings are dilapidated, and the environment requires constant maintenance. It is the players’ responsibility to take care of their environment; Failure to do so will lead to the collapse of their world over time.

The Cradles world is divided into two distinct areas: Main City and Adventure Zone. The capital is where players are protected from the wild elements that abound in the ecosystem. There are seven different cities in the Cradles ecosystem.

Adventure Zone, on the other hand, has several extinct creatures. Here, players can observe the unique characteristics of these prehistoric species.

They can also explore the environment and create new experiences, discover scarce resources, hunt animals, engage with other players in battle and obtain supplies. Players earn symbolic rewards by traveling around the main cities or exploring the adventure zone.

Features of Cradles

Subscription-based access

Users do not need to purchase expensive non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to access the Cradles meta-verse. Cradles is the first subscription-based blockchain game that allows players to purchase a monthly access card for access.

Zero transaction fees

The Cradles ecosystem encourages a fully decentralized supply of goods among users. In the game, players use the materials obtained during the game to create their own NFTs to trade with and sell to other players.

These transactions between players attract zero fees. However, the platform requires a small fee for transactions involving valuables.

Efforts in NFTs (SIN) mechanism

Cradles has introduced a new Staking into NFTs (SIN) mechanism that allows players to insert tokens into their NFTs to earn more tokens in the game and greater rewards in the game. Game streamers can also encourage the audience to SEW on their behalf, giving them extra power and an advantage in the game.

CRDS

The original tool for the Cradles game is an ERC-20 token, currently called the CRDS. It will be used to purchase tickets for the Cradles game and other subsequent game launches by the game developer, DRepublic. It can also be used to make NFT purchases. Token holders can choose to invest or add liquidity to the platform to earn passive income.
