As the Christmas bells rang, xPET and its Token XPET also reached new highs, trading at $0.8241 as of press time. The rise of the Token is not only due to the Favourable Information of the Token landing on the CEX and the advancement of cooperation with OKX, but more importantly, the official update of its White Paper.

What are the specific contents of the update, and how will the changes affect the future development of the game?

New Roadmap

Among the new White Paper, the first thing worth noting is the specific roadmap for the next three months that the founders @Michaeltalkhere updated, which is as follows:

• Adventure (PvE) - Week 1 (December 21 - December 28, 2023):

• Launch Adventure (Player & Environment) feature.
• Allow users to involve their pets in adventures.

• PvP Beta (Private Beta) - Weeks 2-3 (December 29, 2023 - January 11, 2024):

• Develop and release a beta version of the PvP feature for players.
• Private testing is limited to identify and address potential issues.

• PvP Ver 1 (Public) - Week 4 (January 12 - January 18, 2024):

• Released the first public version of the PvP feature.
• Allows users to participate in PvP battles with enhanced features.

• PvP Ver 2 (Full Version) - Weeks 5-6 (January 19 - February 1, 2024)

• Finalize and complete PvP features based on user feedback and testing.
• Introduce additional elements and improvements to enhance the PvP experience.

• Multi-chain - Weeks 7-9 Weeks 7-9 (February 2 - February 22, 2024):

• Started implementing multi-chain support.
• Explore and integrate compatibility with multiple Blockchain networks for enhanced flexibility.

• More SocialFi Features - Weeks 10 to 12 (February 23 to March 14, 2024):

• Introducing additional SocialFi features.
• Enhance the social and interactive aspects of the liquidation platform to provide a more engaging experience.

It can be seen that the ambition of the project team is not only to exist as an ordinary Social Ponzi narrative, but also to add more content to enrich the game ecology - in the previous version, the interaction between players and pets was just feeding and upgrading, and the new roadmap has added features such as PVE\PVP, it is foreseeable that the interaction between players and the project will become more, but the update of the function may also cause a small part of the previous “idle party” to be lost.

Introduce the PVE mechanism

The first week of the xPET update introduced the PVE mechanic, which allows users to participate in exciting adventures with their pets, with the following specific mechanics:

Users can participate in adventures when they have pets with a level of 10 or higher. The adventure is divided into the following three levels, each corresponding to a different area that the pet can participate in;

Adventure Level 1: Pets from levels 10 to 29 can participate.

Adventure Level 2: Pets at level 30 or higher can participate.

Adventure Level 3 : Only available during special events (each event is different and may be open to everyone or limited to those who meet certain criteria).

Adventures also bring rewards, the main reward of which is the Token BPET. The amount of BPET is determined by 10% of the total revenue generated from purchases from the previous day’s project store, pet upgrades, and factory upgrades.

This 10% of the total income is evenly distributed across the various tiers of the adventure in the form of BPET, depending on the proportion of players in each tier. The higher the pet level, the more BPET rewards will be earned in the adventure, and the next tier will always have more rewards than the previous tier.

In addition, there is a chance to earn “xEGG” shard rewards from 1 to 5 stars when participating in adventures. These xEGG shards can be combined to create a 1- to 5-star Non-fungible Token - xEGG.

There will also be a leaderboard for PVE players (points on the leaderboard will be calculated based on the number of pets the user has, the level of each pet, the factory level, and the number of boosts the player receives). At the same time, the official will give 10% of the total income from the previous day’s upgrade activities, pet purchases, etc. to the participants of the adventure, bringing special benefits to those who have participated from the beginning, and their income will gradually grow with the increase in participating users.

Conclusion

xPET, which was thought to be in a death spiral soon, is in good shape, and this update shows the project’s ambition to make the flywheel bigger while adding new mechanics. The SocialFi track is affected by both Friend.Tech and inscriptions, and its popularity is gradually declining.

Will xPET be able to bring the narrative it depicts to people’s eyes? Let’s stay tuned.
