The electronic pet craze triggered by Frenpet has not yet subsided, and a new project has emerged - xPet.
From market analysis to celebrity speeches, you can always find more than one person posting the four letters xPet under various tweets. What do these people want? How does xPet use fission communication to intensify community Fomo?
viral spread
Like Frenpet, the main logic of xPet still revolves around raising electronic pets: there are many functions such as feeding, upgrading, and obtaining benefits.
The difference is that xPet introduces the gameplay of opening treasure chests. xPet, which exists as a browser plug-in, can interact with tweets and display a treasure chest logo next to it; players can open the treasure chest by replying to tweets, and only need to reply with the word xPet in it. When players open treasure chests, they can receive rewards such as BPET tokens, food, and shields.
The treasure chest opening mechanism adopts a fission communication method to increase player participation and the exposure of the game. The games name xPet was also mentioned when a line of players responded to a tweet with the word xPet to open a treasure chest. This word-of-mouth approach allows more users to learn about xPet and be attracted to participate in the game. The simple and easy-to-understand interaction method and the habit of swiping tweets made the comment area instantly occupied by the xPet army, and everyone swiped the screen wherever they went.
Easy to understand gameplay
The revenue mechanism of xPet mainly depends on the pets owned by players. When a player successfully upgrades a pet to level 7, the pet will be able to receive BPET rewards through Berry output. This mechanism encourages players to continuously upgrade their pet levels to obtain more generous benefits.
Additionally, xPet offers other ways to increase your earnings. Players can upgrade the scene to increase the production speed of Berry by investing more resources. Inviting players to join the game can also earn additional Boosters to accelerate revenue growth.
If players want to further increase their income, they can purchase more pets in the store. Each pet has its own health value. When the health value is reduced, the player needs to use food to restore the health of the pet. At the same time, pets may also be injured or sick. At this time, players can use the needles drawn from the treasure chest for treatment. By maintaining the health of pets, players can ensure that their pets output capabilities are not affected, thereby obtaining more stable income.
Token design
xPet’s token system includes two tokens, BPET and XPET.
BPET tokens can be obtained in a variety of ways, including pet production, opening treasure chests, and staking BPET. XPET tokens need to be obtained by staking ETH. Players can borrow up to 90% of the XPET token value corresponding to the collateral. If they want to get back the mortgaged ETH, they need to pay back the XPET they borrowed previously.
XPET tokens and BPET tokens are interchangeable, making the Ponzi flywheel of circular operation possible. Players can earn XPET by staking ETH. Then use XPET to upgrade the pet and improve the pets output capability. The pets output will be reflected in the form of BPET.
Next, players can choose to exchange the obtained BPET tokens for XPET tokens, and finally return the previously borrowed XPET to get back the mortgaged ETH.
Conclusion
xPet has adopted a more radical and smart way to spread the word, spreading its projects everywhere through social media tentacles, and letting more people know about the xPet project by commenting on opening treasure chests.
At the same time, the design of the dual-token model also makes the Ponzi flywheel possible, and the form of being attached to a browser plug-in makes it easier for more people to participate.
All kinds of mechanical ingenuity make xPet have more potential to break the circle than Frenpet. Can the improved version of on-chain pets go further? let us wait and see.
