Discovering CryptoMines (ETERNAL)

CryptoMines is a science fiction game on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) called CryptoMines. In this game, players explore the universe to find the in-game currency ETERNAL. To mine ETERNAL, players need spaceships and workers. The number of workers a player can hire depends on the rarity of their spaceship. For example, a one-star spaceship can only hire one worker, while a five-star spaceship can hire five workers. The more spaceships a player has, the more workers they can hire, and the more difficult planets they can visit to mine more ETERNAL.

Since launching its smart contracts in August 2021, CryptoMines has gained over 50,000 Twitter followers and over 80,000 Discord members. The team has ambitious plans for the future, including listing on a CEX, creating more spaceships and characters, and introducing a new gameplay mode (PVP fights).

The Visionaries Behind CryptoMines

CryptoMines is developed by a team of blockchain enthusiasts and game developers who saw an opportunity to create an NFT game that could empower lower-income societies. Manuel Torres, the founder and owner of CryptoMines, has been developing software since a young age and previously worked as a systems engineer at companies like IBM. Robert Garcia, the game's developer, spent two years as a senior developer on Giant Monkey Robot, a Chilean mobile game. The team is complemented by Sorin Curescu (UX developer), Nimu Torres (art director), and Ricardo Sarmiento (tokenomics and game advisor).

The Unique Features of CryptoMines

CryptoMines follows the path of many other play-to-earn games but adds its own unique twist. There are several key elements that define the gameplay of CryptoMines.

Spaceships transport workers to new planets where they can mine ETERNAL. Each player can have a maximum of ten ships per fleet, and the rarity of ships is distributed as follows:

• 5 stars (max. 5 workers): 1%
• 4 stars (max. 4 workers): 5%
• 3 stars (max. 3 workers): 15%
• 2 stars (max. 2 workers): 35%
• 1 star (max. 1 worker): 44%

Workers are the main mining force and are essential for obtaining ETERNAL. They also need to be maintained on the guild by using fleets. Workers can be burned, and players receive 20% of the mint cost in ETERNAL for doing so. The rarity of workers determines a player's mining power and is distributed as follows:

• 5 stars (mine power between 200 and 255): 1%
• 4 stars (mine power between 150 and 200): 5%
• 3 stars (mine power between 100 and 150): 15%
• 2 stars (mine power between 50 and 100): 35%
• 1 star (mine power between 15 and 50): 44%

Fleets are NFTs created from a combination of a player's workers and ships. There are five ranks of fleets, and they allow players to maximize their mining power to acquire more ETERNAL. Additionally, they unlock travel to new planets with higher rewards, helping players accumulate experience points and other rewards. Guilds improve a player's success rate when exploring less dangerous planets. Players can also participate in RAIDs, weekly events in the game's metaverse that allow them to explore three planets controlled by other factions.

Like all play-to-earn games, CryptoMines features an internal NFT marketplace where players can improve their guild and increase their chances of obtaining rewards. Trades carry a 15% tax, which is returned to the rewards pool.
