Ever heard of P2E?

P2E or Play2Earn is simply put earning while playing games. P2E will revolutionize entire gaming perspectives in the coming years. Traditional games put forward the developer-dependent value of in-game items and in-game currencies. On the other hand, P2E games have their in-game values determined by gamers/people.

$WRLD

The native currency of NFTWorlds ecosystem is called $WRLD. Players are rewarded $WRLD for their activities and it can be used to buy in-game items and other utilities. It can be exchanged for fiat currency through simple procedures.

Wallet

A wallet is where players receive their $WRLD payouts.

$WRLD earned can be withdrawn in following steps :

Swap $WRLD to USDT
Send USDT to a CEX.
Sell USDT for Fiat.

(Later Explained)

Create a Wallet.

Before we create a wallet, let’s talk about types of wallets. Wallets can be Custodial and Non-Custodial.

Crypto familiar gamers can go for Non-Custodial wallets and non familiar gamers can go for NFTWorlds managed Custodial wallet.

How to create a Custodial Wallet:

Go to NFTWorld site.

Sign in using your Microsoft account owning Minecraft.

And you are done!

(Players can view Playable Worlds, their Balance and Wallet address here)

Long string of characters starting with 0x is your wallet address, which is unique for every individual player and acts like an address for sending and receiving $WRLD.

Players can send and receive $WRLD using wallet address through NFTWorld dApp.

(Click on the string to copy wallet address.)

Pros of using a managed wallet:

Frictionless P2E experience for Non-Crypto gamers.

Cons of using a managed wallet:

Custodian has complete control over your assets.

How to create a Non-Custodial wallet:

Setting a Non-Custodial wallet for NFTWorlds can be done in 4 steps:

Create Metamask Wallet.
Add Polygon Mainnet.
Import $WRLD Token.
Connect wallet to NFTWorlds.

Create Metamask Wallet:

Install Metamask from Play Store or App Store

Metamask chrome extension for PC is available here.

Open and create a New Wallet.

(Players already using Metamask can skip to step 2)

Agree T&C.

Set Password and Create Wallet.

Write down the Secret Recovery Phrase and keep it somewhere safe. (This is an important safety measure since anyone exposed to your Secret Recovery Phrase can access your wallet).

Confirm Secret Recovery Phrase.

Congratulations!

Your wallet is ready.

($WRLD rewards from servers are distributed through Polygon Network. Players need to add Polygon Network separately since Metamask’s default network is Ethereum Network)

(Use the browser inside Metamask to access dApps)

How to add Polygon Mainnet:

There are two ways to add Polygon Network to Metamask:

Using Polygonscan
Manually adding the Network

Method 1

Head over to Polygonscan and click on the Add Polygon Network button seen on bottom right corner.

Approve the network add notification received on Metamask.

Method 2

Head over to Metamask, open settings, navigate to networks and click on Add Network.

Insert the following into their respective fields.

Network Name : Polygon Mainnet

RPC Url : https://polygon-rpc.com/

Chain ID : 137

Symbol : MATIC

Blockchain Explorer: https://polygonscan.com/

Add and proceed.

Successfully added Polygon Network!

How to Import $WRLD Token:

Simply head to nftworlds.com/add-wrld using Metamask browser, this will add $WRLD as a tracked asset on Polygon Mainnet.

Make sure you are on Polygon Mainnet, click on the Import Tokens button seen at the bottom.

Copy $WRLD Token contract address:

0xD5d86FC8d5C0Ea1aC1Ac5Dfab6E529c9967a45E9

Paste the contract address you copied in the Token Address field.

Token Symbol and Token of Precision are automatically updated just after pasting the address. Now proceed and Import!

You have successfully imported $WRLD Token!

How to Connect Non-Custodial wallet to NFTWorlds:

Sign in using your Microsoft account owning Minecraft on NFTWorlds on Metamask browser.

(Same steps as creating a Custodial Wallet )

Navigate to the Main Wallet section and click Change Main Wallet.

Select the Account and click Next

Connect the site to the account.

Sign the Metamask signature request.

Yay! Wallet Connection Complete!

(Players having issues with Metamask mobile app can use Metamask extension on Kiwi Browser)

How to start earning:

Players can start earning $WRLD by joining different worlds and by participating in different games. Players using Alpha Launcher can directly join worlds using the launch feature. Top playable worlds are listed at nftworlds/play.

Copy Address

Add name and paste the server address copied from nftworlds/play to join a certain world.

Hit play to join the server.

Enjoy Gaming!

NFTWorlds SMP (Survival Multiplayer):

SMP is one of the best P2E server as of now. Players are flocking into SMP world since it provides playtime rewards. Quests are coming soon, providing players better P2E experience.

Server address: smp.nftworlds.com

Playtime reward: 5 $WRLD / Hour

Useful commands on server :

/wrld – check total $WRLD earned.
/kit claim – get claiming kit.
/tpa username – teleport to a player.
/tpahere username – summon a player.
/sethome – set home coordinates.
/home – teleport to home.
/spawn – teleport to spawn.
/back – return to the previous location.

/wrldbal – show current $WRLD balance in wallet.

NB: Total $WRLD earned is reflected on wallet only after payouts. Payouts dates are TBA.

Join NFTWorld Discord for player support and server updates.

How to withdraw:

Withdraw from Custodial Wallet:

For players using managed wallets, withdrawal is only possible after $WRLD gets listed on any CEX(with polygon network support). CoinEx‘s $WRLD deposit is backed by Ethereum Network, hence bridging and sending $WRLD might be costly and unpleasant for players.

Only way around is creating a Non-Custodial wallet and sending $WRLD from Custodial to Non-Custodial.

Withdraw from Non-Custodial Wallets:

Swap $WRLD to USDT

Make sure you are on Polygon Mainnet and head over to Uniswap using Metamask browser.

(Connect Wallet)

Import $WRLD to Uniswap:

Address : 0xD5d86FC8d5C0Ea1aC1Ac5Dfab6E529c9967a45E9

Swap $WRLD for USDT.

Confirm Transaction.

And you are done!

NB: Swapping requires gas fee (Matic).

Make sure you have imported USDT.

Import USDT using contract address:

0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F

Send USDT to your CEX account.

Copy USDT deposit address of CEX

(Make sure Network is Polygon)

Send USDT to CEX address.

Confirm Transaction.

Confirm Deposit on CEX.

Trade USDT for Fiat.
Withdraw Fiat Currency directly to Bank through CEX.

“And you are done!”

Important Note:

NFTWorld will never support off-ramp of $WRLD as it is mentioned in the paper. Listing of $WRLD on a CEX is part of NFTWorlds’ Roadmap 2.0 and doing so will create a complete frictionless P2E experience for players.

It’s just a matter of time for $WRLD to get listed on a CEX, I hope so.

Author’s P2E experience.

I have spent a total of 120 hours playing SMP with my friends and getting paid for mere entertainment was such a great experience. By creating a Metaverse on a user rich platform, NFTWorlds improved my vision on Metaverse and P2E. Such a promising future for all talented gamers indeed.

Happy Gaming!
