xPet Fren Pet 2.0 The Ultimate Electronic Pet Social Game on Arbitrum

Author: Deep Tide TechFlow

The current social track has sparked a wave of electronic pet fever.

The residual heat of Fren Pet has not yet passed, and another upgraded version of Fren Pet, xPet.Tech, has quietly exploded in popularity recently. Let’s take a look at what it is and whether there are opportunities and gameplay without zero hit.

Product Exploration

xPET is a small game based on Arbitrum, with gameplay similar to Fren Pet, which requires players to feed and accompany pets and ensure their survival in order to help players earn token rewards.

Unlike Fren Pet, xPETuses a browser plugin to play, instead of a “main screen” game like Fren Pet, which means xPET has more possibilities for strong interaction with Twitter.

xPET is linked to Twitter, and users need to bind their accounts with Twitter, which is one of the prerequisites for starting the game. After binding the account, the system will randomly generate a virtual pet for you in the browser interface that is the same as Twitter.

It is worth noting that all operations you perform in this game are closely linked to Twitter in the main view. You can feed, upgrade, and unlock more scenes for your pet while scrolling through Twitter.

At the same time, the pet generated just now will also appear in the lower left corner of your Twitter webpage and move on the main interface and menu of Twitter.

Therefore, if Friend.Tech and Fren Pets in the past were to leverage Twitter’s social relationships and create their own applications, this xPet can be said to be completely parasitic on Twitter.

It appears on Twitter, raising pets while socializing, sharing the same browser interface.

Gameplay Analysis

The pets in the game will interact with Twitter. Players will discover daily treasure chests while browsing Twitter, which is also why they call themselves SocialFi 2.0.

What is the Daily Treasure Chest?

This is one of the innovative features of xPET and also the game step for non-hardcore players:

Since players will bind their Twitter accounts when starting the game, they have the chance to get treasure chest rewards while browsing Twitter. The treasure chest icon will appear below the user’s avatar, and by commenting “Xpet,” they can open the treasure chest twice a day.

In addition, new players can also get a free newbie treasure chest reward just by following their official Twitter account and liking and retweeting corresponding tweets to complete the chest task.

From this step, it can be seen that xPet’s gameplay actually “tasks and gamifies” the product launch and promotion steps, giving users an intuitive and specific reason to use Twitter for posting or reposting.

Posting updates will reward your pet and help it grow without strongly interfering with your normal Twitter social media activities. At the same time, you gain an additional emotional value, which is the biggest feeling xPET currently gives me.

Furthermore, regarding the treasure chest itself, the rewards it includes are:

• BPET: In-game tokens with significant value in the xPet.Tech ecosystem.
• Food: Essential for keeping pets well-nourished and healthy.
• Broom: An important tool for maintaining a clean and tidy environment for your pets.
• Needle: Used to treat your pets when they are not feeling well, ensuring their health and happiness.
• Shield: Protective items to keep your pets safe from potential harm.

All the rewards obtained from the treasure chest can be seen as the resources needed to maintain the normal operation of xPET pets. These resources are consumed over time and in a certain proportion, so players need additional investment and tasks to replenish them.

On the other hand, how do pets earn BPET tokens for players?

In xPet.Tech, each player will have a virtual farm. This farm is the dedicated space for your pets, where they engage in production activities to generate BERRY. BERRY can be converted into BPET, and there are three methods to increase BPET production:

• Upgrade pets: The higher the pet’s level, the more BERRIES it will produce.
• Upgrade tools: By upgrading the tools available on the pet farm, you can make them work more efficiently and increase the BPET production.
• Upgrade factories: The factory will automatically convert BERRY into BPET for you. Note: This feature will only be available when your pet reaches level 10.

So the gameplay for players who spend money is simple:

1. Buy high-level pets from the in-game market (the market charges a 0.5% transaction fee).
2. Upgrade tools and factories.
3. Buy food to keep pets healthy.

 

Token Economy

The token economy of xPET.Tech is different from other games. It not only exists within the game, but also has a complete external gaming economic wheel.

Firstly, one way to obtain tokens in the game is through zero-interest ETH lending of xPET. This means that players can borrow xPET to obtain tokens.

In other words, besides its own economy system corresponding to gameplay, the game also introduces DeFi and lending designs, and establishes connections with mainstream cryptocurrencies in the external world.

In this design, it’s clear that the game will adjust the amount of xPET available for lending based on supply and demand, which will in turn form a market price for the in-game token.

Furthermore, the game also provides the opportunity for staking. Players can stake their BPET tokens and earn additional BPET interest. Players can freely choose the time for staking the tokens according to their needs. Of course, the duration of token staking directly affects the rewards received, as shown in the following image:

This design makes the token economy of xPET.Tech more diverse. It not only provides ways to earn tokens within the game, but also offers lending and staking opportunities outside the game, providing players with more choices and flexibility.

Therefore, from an economic design perspective, xPet is not just a simple social game, but a comprehensive game that integrates social aspects and DeFi.

In terms of the specific economic model of the token, BPET is equivalent to infinite output, and the total quantity of xPET is 300 million. The ecological fund and community allocation account for the largest proportion, 40% and 30% respectively. The detailed distribution is as shown in the following table:

Roadmap

xPET.Tech has completed the basic functions shown in the roadmap, including user identity verification, pet creation, pet care functions, staking, borrowing, and swaps.

In the future, the project plans to make adjustments and optimize existing functions based on community feedback, and introduce additional gamification elements to increase user engagement and retention.

In addition, the project also plans to seek strategic partnerships to promote the development and influence of xPet.Tech.

Overall, xPet is a lightweight electronic pet game parasitic on Twitter, with built-in DeFi features. Its low entry barrier and expected returns are bound to generate discussions and participation in the early stages;

However, whether the project is sustainable, whether the revenue model will collapse, and whether the input-output ratio of participants can sustain a healthy state, are still to be tested over time.
