Player Marketplace Opens in Genopets

Genopets closed out 2023 with a bang, bringing the first iteration of their player to player (p2p) marketplace to both the browser and app versions of this move to earn game. Now players can buy, sell, and trade Genopets items while on the go!

Not long ago, Genopets released their in-app marketplace, opening the way for players to purchase boosts and items from Genopets directly in the app. Now they kick things up a notch by letting players sell items through the in-app marketplace as well!

This update bridges the blockchain-based player economy, with players on the mobile app who may know nothing at all about blockchain or NFTs. Purchasing items from players in the mobile app is a seamless experience. App users can use the in-game currency, Qbits to make purchases. While those who would rather use crypto for their transactions can still do so through the game’s web interface.

Currently, players can only list a limited selection of items on the P2P marketplace. And not all will show up in the app versions of the game. But, the Genopet team does plan to continue to update this marketplace, making it the go-to place for all Genopets trading.

This update officially completes the Road to Market roadmap for Genopets. I expect that we’ll see a new roadmap in the coming weeks, with more plans for the future of Genopets!

Genopets also has another one of their puzzle solving treasure hunts launching on January 12th. This event includes six prize tiers, with Legendary Augments awarded to those in the top ranks! Check out this blog post for more information about the Golden Kippu Treasure Hunt.

What is Genopets?

Genopets is a free-to-play, move-to-earn game built on the Solana blockchain. When using the Genopets app, players collect steps while walking. They then convert those steps into Energy, and then use that Energy to level up their Pet or exchange it for KI tokens. KI tokens are the main currency in Genopets and used to craft Crystals, upgrade Pets, and maintain Habitats.

Genopets visually change as they level up. Higher level Pets also offer a significantly better step to Energy conversion rate. Genopets features a number of NFTs. The main NFTs are Genesis Genopets and Habitats. Players convert Energy to KI tokens and craft Augments and Crystals using a Habitat. Genopets does feature a rental system if you don’t own your own Habitat. Augments and Crystals change the physcial appearance of the Genopet, and also offer bonus stats which will factor into an upcoming PvP system.
