In light of our recent breeding feature on the testnet, we’ve identified a challenge, the potential decline in the value of Playermon NFTs. To encourage greater player commitment and protect the long-term value of these assets, we are introducing a soul-bound mechanism.

Soul bounding is a sacred ritual that permanently intertwines a Playermon's essence with your account, symbolizing an unwavering commitment to your digital companion. By choosing to soul bound an NFT, you declare that this Playermon holds a special place in your heart, and you pledge to nurture and protect it for all eternity.

The Soul Bound Mechanism

Players will now need to bind their NFTs to their accounts to use them in the game. This bounding process, known as soul bounding, ensures that the NFT becomes an integral part of your account. This change is aimed at maintaining a balanced and competitive environment, particularly in the Playermon Anchroland Tournament, by preventing the repeated use of powerful NFTs to dominate matches.

Flexibility in Commitment: Unbounding Option

Understanding that circumstances change, we are allowing players to unbind their NFTs if needed. Unbounding will come at a cost, but this cost will gradually decrease over time, providing flexibility while still encouraging long-term commitment.

Commitment to Fair Play and Value

With this approach, we aim to create a more engaged and committed player base, ensuring fairer competition and helping maintain the long-term value of your Playermon NFTs.
