## What Is NFT Worlds (WRLD)?

NFT Worlds is a [play-to-earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play-to-earn-play2earn) (P2E) [metaverse](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/metaverse) platform based on Minecraft, and built on blockchain technology. Players can purchase [non-fungible tokens](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) (NFTs), explore community-created metaverses, play games and earn cryptocurrencies — a trending sector coined [GameFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gamefi). Players collect unique pieces of digital real estate, and game plots are algorithmically generated, creating an open virtual world. There are 10,000 worlds available in the NFT Worlds collection.

The ecosystem is inspired by the massive open worlds of Minecraft developed by Mojang Studios. Thus, the virtual worlds of NFT Worlds use the open-source ecosystem of Minecraft, although the two companies are not affiliated. In July 2022, Microsoft-owned Mojang announced that Minecraft would not support NFTs and blockchain technology. NFT World’s WRLD token crashed 60% following the news, however, the company announced that it will create a new game based on the “core mechanics of Minecraft.”

The [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) platform is community driven and runs on [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/). NFT Worlds has its own in-game cryptocurrency — the WRLD token, which can be obtained as payment for gaming experience, in addition, WRLD can be won in the mini-games of the ecosystem.


## Who Are the Founders of NFT Worlds?

The project was co-founded by developers ArkDev and Temptranquil. Behind NFT Worlds are dozens of trusted developer partners who create content and gaming experiences, and several skilled community moderators. The core team of five people was assembled in September 2021, and on Oct. 5, 2021, NFT Worlds was born. As part of the launch, 10,000 NFTs were minted and distributed for free. The native token of the ecosystem, WRLD, was launched in December 2021.


## What Makes NFT Worlds Unique?

Despite the ban, NFT Worlds have announced that the world it is building will have "backwards compatibility with existing Minecraft server development plugins and practices." This allows current creators to continue building atop the Minecraft platform. Further, anyone can create their own universe and earn income from a virtual world by staking, renting and collecting commissions for impressions, services and experiences. Players have access to 10,000 worlds and portals connecting them, and the option to transfer ownership of assets, NFTs and virtual worlds.

NFT Worlds also offers: a social networking metaverse where gamers communicate; a fascinating universe where battles, trials and exploration take place; a role-playing game metaverse with an emphasis on storyline, complete with several chapters of content.

The gaming experience is accessible and personalized; familiar controls, easy-to-use instrumentation and customizable game mechanics are available to users. All created compositions of the worlds are unique and mix in themselves various combinations of game characteristics. The more rare features the world combines, the more privileges and exclusive functions the owner receives, and the higher the profit from staking.

The ultimate mission of NFT Worlds is to become an open ecosystem with various aspects of noteworthy metaverses and NFT projects.

Aavegotchi (GHST) is the governance token of the Aavegotchi NFT Gaming protocol. GHST token holders receive voting power in the AavegotchiDAO, which oversees all aspects of the protocol, Aavegotchi’s flagship game the Gotchiverse, and Aavegotchi NFTs.

Aavegotchis themselves are pixelated ghosts backed by the ERC-721 token standard. The Aavegotchi NFTs have dynamic metadata that changes over time through user interaction.

An Aavegotchi’s value and rarity is determined by its collateral stake, traits and wearables.

Collateral stake is based on the innovative ERC721 Aavegotchi NFT that manages an escrow contract holding Aave-backed ERC20 collateral or "aToken," which generates yield via Aave's LendingPool. Traits are based on random traits upon birth, kinship and experience (XP).

The protocol is called Aavegotchi as a nod to Aave, which translates to “ghost” in Finnish, and is powered by the Aave protocol, one of the leading lending protocol in DeFi. The token ticker also cleverly spells out “ghost,” minus the vowel.
