What can I expect in the Early Access version?

The early access version contains early versions of two out of the three world types; your Homestead and Slipworld.

Homestead is the home base of the player where they will be able to build a base, craft items, upgrade gear and improve their loadouts to be able to survive harsher conditions in more advanced Slipworlds.

Slipworlds are land surfaces fragmented from planets and asteroids that contain various creatures and valuable resources the player must find and extract before the slipworld fully slips into the singularity.

Slipworlds are available for a limited time and players will have to fight the environment, and other players to harvest, collect and extract the the materials and resources in order to be able to use them in their homstead.

How does Providence use blockchain

Providence is going to have a player based economy where every asset extracted from the Slipworlds, and items crafted with them are owned by the player to do as they please whether they want to use them or trade them in the marketplace.

Blockchain technology allows us to handle all the asset management including secured transactions, publicly visible ledger tracking assets and their states, to name a few.

What utility does blockchain bring to the product?

Blockchain help us create an ecosystem with various utilities not just within the main Providence game but all the games in the Providence universe. Some of the main utilities:

- In-Game Upgrades & Additional Customization Options

Providence (PRV) tokens are used in upgrading and further customizing in-game elements such as equipment, dropship and overall loadout. These upgrades do not give the player a significant gameplay advantage over others, but instead increase convenience and enhances the quality of life.

The upgrades are not mandatory to be able to play Providence to the fullest but they do unlock more convenience and customization options for those that want it.

Outposts require an upkeep which can be paid via PRV tokens. The outposts come with various community options that involve PRV token in various ways.
Various activities will only be possible by spending or staking PRV tokens.

PRV token holders can stake their tokens to help secure the network. This means that their tokens are locked up to be used in validating transactions, as well as maintaining the blockchain.
As an incentive, stakers can receive rewards, depending on the amount staked. We aim to reward the community of our token holders by providing airdrops.

Can I play Providence without interacting or engaging with blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency?

Providence economy and assets are fully on chain but blockchain integration is seamless and while everything you obtain will be on-chain, it is yours to do whatever you want with. You can choose not to engage with the marketplace to trade it for other assets for example.

It is entirely up to you.
