Game Features
1. Open Scroll
Open Scroll displaying random NFT buildings available for purchase
Players could interact with the “Open Scroll” system, allowing them to mint unique NFT buildings. Each building has specifications and various rarity probabilities. For example, some buildings like Supertowers appear very rarely, while smaller structures like garages are more abundant.
2. Crafting System
Crafting interface for upgrading city assets
The crafting system enables players to combine existing assets into higher-value NFTs. For instance, three identical cities can be merged into a more advanced city with upgraded properties. This feature introduces progression and ensures older assets remain valuable in the game.
3. Staking and Earning
Staking NFT-based assets to earn rewards
Defi-City allows players to stake their NFTs, generating passive income. They can also trade NFTs in the open market, adding a strategic layer to the game.
4. Wallet Integration
After signing in, players connect their crypto wallets, such as MetaMask or Binance Wallet, making it easier to engage with blockchain functions within the game. This system ensures secure and streamlined interactions for trading and staking.
