How to start playing Aavegotchi?


1. Get Some GHST Token

To start playing Aavegotchi game, you’ll need some GHST token, the native cryptocurrency of the game. GHST can be used to purchase the game’s assets, including Aavegotchi, portals, wearables, consumables, and collectibles items. GHST also offers various additional features, such as staking and voting on the decentralized platform.

You need a sufficient amount of GHST tokens to start playing Aavegotchi. There are several ways to obtain GHST tokens. Simply click on “Get GHST” at the main menu to determine which one is your preference.

  • Buying from the Bonding Curve (requires KYC, which precludes citizens of the United States, China, North Korea, and Iran)

  • Buying from Decentralized Exchanges on the Ethereum Mainnet such as Uniswap

  • Buying from Decentralized Exchanges on the Polygon Network such as QuickSwap

  • Buying from Centralized Exchanges such as Binance and Kraken

Aavegotchi has migrated to Polygon in early-2021, so you’ll have to bridge your assets using the Aavegotchi bridge to spend your GHST tokens. In short, Polygon is Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling solution that provides faster and nearly costless transactions. To learn more about how to bridge assets from Ethereum to Polygon, please read this article.

2. Visit the Marketplace (Baazaar)

The Baazaar is Aavegotchi’s official secondary marketplace. Sellers can list their items for sale, which will incur a 0.1 GHST listing fee to prevent spam listings. When a listing is created or updated on Polygon, the 0.1 GHST fees will be transferred directly to the burn address, putting deflationary pressure on the currency.

At the time of writing, Baazaar is also the only place to buy an Aavegotchi. Alternatively, you may wait for the “Haunt 2” event to bid for a portal, which is scheduled to take place on August 26.

3. Summon a Friend

You can “summon” an Aavegotchi from the “Nether Realm” through a portal. Each portal contains 10 “friends”, in which you could select 1 out of the 10 to summon, while the remaining ones will vanish.

Initially, each portal would cost approximately 100 GHST on the platform, but they are all sold out. Fortunately, these devices will also be released in ‘Haunts’, a time-limited event that offers 10,000 Portals up for auctions. You may also purchase a portal from the Baazaar.

To claim an Aavegotchi from the portal, you need to stake the required amount of various aTokens (Spirit Force) to the portal. These aTokens can be acquired directly via Aave or decentralized exchanges like Uniswap. The staked assets provide each Gotchi with intrinsic value, in addition to its rarity value and market forces.

The main factor determining which friend you should summon among the nine others is base rarity score or BRS. A rare friend is expected to have 500 BRS and above.

4. Engage in Rarity Farming

Why does rarity matter so much, you may ask? Well, this is where rarity farming comes in. As the name implies, rarity farming is a game mechanism that rewards players who successfully raise the rarest Gotchis in a given period. It aims to reward users that engage with the ecosystem enthusiastically.

At the end of each period, the rarest Gotchis will receive an allocation of GHST rewards, which are derived from 40% of all GHST spent.

Currently, there are three types of rarity farming:

  • Aavegotchi Rarity Scores

  • Kinship Scores

  • Experience

5. Interact with your Gotchi

You can engage with your Aavegotchi in a variety of ways at your Aavegotchi profile:

  • Pet - Pay a small fee to pet your Gotchi every 12 hours to increase its kinship by 1.

  • Equip - Equip your Gotchi with wearables to raise its base rarity score.

  • Feed - Feed your Gotchi with consumables bought from the Baazaar. Consumables are items that would increase your Gotchi’s traits when consumed.

  • Rename - Rename your best friend like how you would name your pet.

At the lower right corner, you can add more Spirit Force (aToken stake) to your Gotchi. However, adding more Spirit Force than the minimum amount provides no further benefits or rarity to your Gotchi.

Mini-Games

There are two types of mini-games in the Gotchiverse: official mini-games and community-created mini-games. At the time of writing, developers are still working on the official mini-games. More information will be updated here once it is released.

To ensure fair gameplay across a wide range of trait distributions, each mini-game will provide advantages/disadvantages towards different Aavegotchi traits. For instance, a “HYPER-AGGRESSIVE” Gotchi may perform well in a Fight Club, but not in a cake-baking mini-game
