Before anything else, we want to say that we are so happy to find ourselves fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of your support.

With this Game Testing Whitelisting Round, we quickly identified the most supportive and hard-core GameFi and Koi Metaverse users who showed us nothing but support and love to this testing project.

Thanks to members like you, the Koi Metaverse game is now finally ready for more impactful improvements. In partnership with our communities, we are positive that the game functions and its parameters will be further optimized to ensure future success.

Fish Breeding

Breeding is the only way gamers can mint new NFT assets.

As history tells, fortune only favors the brave. In the deep ocean, nothing is guaranteed.

In the course of fish breeding Koi fish, the progeny genes are naturally inherited from the parent fish genes, and each parent has a 50% chance to propagate its genes.

The scarcity of the fish gene is classified as normal, scarce, epic, and legendary, which, respectively, has a 50%, 35%, and 25% chance to be inherited. There is a 1% chance to increase the gene scarcity level, or the genes will mutate into random and normal genes.

(Please know that the game parameters mentioned are subject to change.)

Mystery Box

Koi Metaverse mystery boxes Phase 2 is ready for testing as well.

As its name suggests, a mystery box contains a surprise fish. Like a game of Russian roulette, each purchase of a mystery box gives you a chance to receive a Koi fish at different rarity levels.
