10. How is blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency used in this product?

Basketballverse leverages blockchain technology to empower players with true ownership of in-game assets, such as players, signature moves, wearables, and other collectibles through NFTs. Cryptocurrency, specifically the $BVR token, is used for in-game transactions and rewards, creating an ecosystem where players can trade, buy, or sell assets securely.

11. What utility does this bring to the product?

Blockchain and NFTs give players full ownership and control over their in-game assets, which can be traded, sold, or transferred outside the game. This brings real-world value to the in-game experience and enables players to generate income through the Basketballverse economy. The $BVR token facilitates all transactions within the game.

12. Does this product require me to connect an external wallet? What wallets does this product support?

Yes, to fully engage with Basketballverse’s blockchain features—like purchasing NFTs, making in-game transactions, or earning rewards—you’ll need to connect an external wallet. Basketballverse will support several popular wallets, including MetaMask and WalletConnect. More wallet options may be added as the platform evolves.

13. Can I use the product without interacting or engaging with blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency?

Absolutely! Basketballverse offers a Guest Mode that allows players to enjoy casual gameplay without the need to connect a wallet or engage with blockchain technology. You can play matches and enjoy the core game experience without creating a crypto wallet or using NFTs, although access to advanced features will be limited.

14. What chain does this product use? Is the chain proof-of-work or proof-of-stake?

We are still deciding which blockchain to use for Basketballverse. We aim to choose one that supports scalability and sustainability, likely leaning toward Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or similar energy-efficient solutions. Stay tuned for updates!

15. Does this product have a marketplace? What can I do with the things that I earn (or purchase)?

Yes, Basketballverse will have an in-game marketplace where players can buy, sell, or trade their NFTs and other in-game assets like players, arenas, and signature moves. You can also use the assets you earn or purchase to enhance your gameplay, improve your team’s performance, or trade for $BVR tokens, which can be used both within the game and potentially exchanged for other cryptocurrencies.

16. What is included in Early Access?

During Early Access, players can enjoy a variety of game modes including practice play, 1 versus 1, 2 versus 2, and 3 versus 3 matches. Both half-court and full-court modes are available, along with leaderboards to track your progress.
