CryptoMines is a sci-fi play-to-earnNFT game on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), in which players travel the universe in search of the in-game currency ETERNAL. Players have to mine ETERNAL on different planets, and to do so, require spaceships and workers. The amount of workers a player can hire is limited by the rarity level of their spaceship. For instance, a one-star spaceship can only hire one worker, whereas a five-star spaceship can hire five workers. Players have to mint workers, who are assigned a random mining power depending on their rarity. The more spaceships a player has, the more workers they can hire, and the more workers they can hire, the more difficult planets they can visit to mine more ETERNAL.
CryptoMines has been growing at a frenetic pace and has acquired over 50,000 Twitter followers and over 80,000 members in their Discord since launching its smart contracts in August 2021. In its roadmaps, the team outlines more ambitious goals, such as listing on a CEX, designing more spaceships and characters, and introducing a new gameplay mode (PVP fights).
Who Are the Founders of CryptoMines?
CryptoMines is built by a small team of blockchain enthusiasts and game developers that saw an opportunity to build an NFT game that could help empower lower-income societies. Manuel Torres, the founder and owner of CryptoMines, has been developing software since an early age and previously worked as a systems engineer at companies like IBM. Robert Garcia, the game's developer, spent two years prior to CryptoMines as a senior developer on Giant Monkey Robot, a Chilean mobile game. The team is complemented by Sorin Curescu (UX developer), Nimu Torres (art director), and Ricardo Sarmiento (tokenomics and game advisor).
What Makes CryptoMines Unique?
CryptoMines follows the trusted path blazed by many other play-to-earn games, but adds its own unique spin. There are a couple of key elements that define the gameplay of CryptoMines.
How Many CryptoMines (ETERNAL) Coins Are There in Circulation?
ETERNAL is the game’s native utility token used for minting workers and spaceships. The total supply of ETERNAL is 5 million and is distributed as follows:
Gameplay incentives (30%)
Gameplay features (5%): one-month lock after release
Liquidity (15%)
ILO Fee (1.8%)
Development (20%): five months linear vesting
Marketing (2.2%): one-month lock after presale
Airdrop (1%): one-month lock after presale
Private sale (5%): one-month lock after presale
Public sale (20%)
How Is the CryptoMines Network Secured?
ETERNAL is a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain. BSC is secured through the proof-of-stakeconsensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible.
CryptoMines was audited by RD Auditors, which maintains a partnership with both UniCrypt and TechAudit.
Spaceships transport workers to new planets, where they can mine ETERNAL. Each player has a maximum of ten ships per fleet, and the rarity level of ships is distributed as follows:
5 stars (max. 5 workers): 1%
4 stars (max. 4 workers): 5%
3 stars (max. 3 workers): 15%
2 stars (max. 2 workers): 35%
1 star (max. 1 worker): 44%
Workers are the main mining force and are needed to obtain ETERNAL. They also need to be maintained on the guild by using fleets. Workers can be burned, and players receive 20% of the mint cost in ETERNAL for doing so. Their rarity determines a player’s mine power and is distributed as follows:
5 stars (mine power between 200 and 255): 1%
4 stars (mine power between 150 and 200): 5%
3 stars (mine power between 100 and 150): 15%
2 stars (mine power between 50 and 100): 35%
1 star (mine power between 15 and 50): 44%
Fleets are NFTs created from a combination of a player’s workers and ships. There are five ranks of fleets, and they allow players to maximize their mining power to acquire more ETERNAL. Moreover, they unlock travel to new planets with higher rewards, which helps players rack up experience points and other rewards. Finally, guilds improve a player’s success rate when exploring less dangerous planets. Players can also go on RAIDs, weekly events in the game’s metaverse that allow them to explore three planets controlled by other factions.
Like all play-to-earn games, CryptoMines features an internal NFT marketplace, where players can improve their guild and increase their chances of obtaining rewards. Trades carry a 15% tax, which is returned to the rewards pool.
