Tezos is a competing Layer-1 blockchain platform making a breakthrough in P2E games. One of their first games is browning directly from Axie infinity’s playbook with a digital pet universe, Dogami. 

The tried and tested model of Axie Infinity motivated developers and investors to bootstrap Axie’s clone on other blockchains. For instance, games like Crabada on Avalanche and Crypto Unicorns on Polygon. 

You can grab Dogami’s first NFT drop in the early stages and profit from future token and NFT releases.

Dogami is a multiplayer game about dogs. Last month, the project raised $6 million in an investment round led by Ubisoft, Animoca Brands, and co-founder of The Sandbox, Maximilian Stoeckl, who is also the CEO of Dogami. 

With the backing of top names in the niche industry, we can expect a strong marketing effort to shill the game. Moreover, a partnership with Ubisoft ensures an immersive gaming experience, which currently lacks in most blockchain games.

The game’s mechanics inspired by Axie Infinity favors the owners of the first generation of dogs. They benefit from several factors like limited supply, early in-game token drop, and additional perks, especially during the breeding process. 

“Breeding” is the most important feature for P2E projects. It enables the multiplication of existing NFTs, where NFT owners create additional NFTs and open up entry opportunities for new players. 

For instance, at the peak of Axie’s hype, the genesis NFTs were selling between $10,000 to $100,000. Similarly, the genesis Crabada and Crypto Unicorns NFTs are selling for over $3,500. 

Crabada sold their originating NFTs for around $100 via a community bootstrap event. Crypto Unicorns genesis drop happened in November last year for 0.1 ETH (worth ~$450 at the time), almost 10X profit in less than three months.

You probably see where I’m getting at when I talk about Dogami NFTs, where the genesis collection is called “Gen Alpha Dogami.” In the beginning, there will be eight to ten breeds of Dogami NFTs, with a total supply between 8,000 to 10,000, and the drop is scheduled for Feb. 22. 

Since NFTs will likely be cheap, it’s better to buy more than one if you can, at least one male and one female Dogami NFT, to take advantage of the breeding process. If you plan to play the online multiplayer mode, you will likely need more than one dog. Previous games like Axie and Crabada require a team of digital pets (at least three) to participate. 

There are two possible exit strategies with the NFTs. 

The token launch for Dogami is expected to arrive before the launch of the actual game. After getting the token drop, you can sell your NFTs and still have exposure to the game via tokens.  

Further, you can also wait for the breeding season to start, create at least one newer generation, and then sell it to cover the initial purchase cost. By this time, you can benefit from token drops and additional NFTs. 

The first version of the Dogami P2E game is planned for Q2, 2022. 

There are over 80,000 members in Dogami’s Discord channel, which means many people will be competing for the drop. To stay on top of the game, be active in the project’s Discord account around the drop time and follow the instructions on the announcement channel. 

To prepare from the drop, you have to create a Tezos wallet. You can choose between Temple or Kukai. Some mobile wallets such as AirGap, or Trust Wallet, will also support the drop. Top up your wallet with XTZ to get ready for the mint
