James Pelton introduces MicroPets and the upcoming Petropolis metaverse. He discusses the project's vision, the utility of the PETS token, and demonstrates the process of acquiring, evolving, and staking pets to earn passive income, highlighting the project's family-friendly appeal and its potential for mobile gaming integration.
Hey, this is James Pelton.
I have another project for you today, and this one drew my attention because I'm always
looking for ways.
I have three kids.
I've got a nine-year-old girl, an eight-year-old boy, and a six-year-old boy, and I'm always
trying to find ways to get them involved in my crypto journey.
They love playing with my crabs.
That doesn't sound right.
They love playing with my chickens.
I ran into this Petropolis, MicroPets is the name of the game, and it's very cool.
I spoke with Tony, so it's a fully-doxed team, and the first thing I noticed is this is not
just like an indie startup, but this is a real company that's looking to do real things
in the space.
Tony's a really smart guy, entrepreneur, so a very, very cool project.
You can go watch their trailer.
I'm not going to show it on here, but it's really well-made.
They have 3D artists, and they're looking to do some big things.
I want to start with what they're looking to create for the future and what you're able
to do right now and work my way backwards.
They're looking to create a full metaverse called Petropolis is the name of it.
You get a little bit of a picture here of what they're trying to build.
They say it's going to be available, the land sale will be Q3, Q4 of 2022.
These pets tokens, which we're going to talk a little bit about here, are going to be very
important for this land sale.
The pets token is going to have a lot of value, especially it's going to be the governance
token of Petropolis is what they're looking to do.
We're going to go do this.
We're going to do a live crate reveal.
You can either buy pets from the marketplace, or you can buy a crate where you get a random
pet.
I'm going to do a live crate reveal.
I always see YouTubers doing things like this, so I'm actually pretty excited, but you have
to wait.
That's not here yet.
Of course, I'll put links to their Discord, to their Telegram.
They have a mobile game that's coming out soon.
You can see it's going to have one of these runner things.
According to Tony, this could potentially, with how they're working it out with Apple,
this could potentially be the only play-to-earn game in the App Store.
We're not sure, but that's coming soon.
We don't have a date on that yet.
Your pet, which this is the part that you can do now, your pet, and we're going to open
a crate so I can get my pet, is going to be connected to what you're playing with in the
game and what you're using in the Petropolis, leveling their skills, collecting resources,
battling foes, and building homes, shops, and games.
This is something they're looking to build.
Let's back up to where we're at now.
For now, Petropolis is not alive yet, but you can still get your pet for now.
First off, I'm bummed we missed this space keepsake NFT.
They had this opportunity where you could draw something.
I don't exactly know how it worked, but then they minted these NFTs and then blasted them
into space on a Falcon 9 rocket partnered with Celestis.
I assume they're up in the air flying right now.
Tony, they just have some cool things that they're doing.
They're always having creative little things like that.
If you would like a pet, here's the different pets that you can get.
You can stake them, and they do earn a passive income.
They do earn a return, so it does fit on my channel.
Just so you know, I didn't receive anything for making this video.
Not sponsored.
Just liked the project, liked Tony.
The more rare, this is how much you make from those things.
Obviously, if you get a unicorn, that's worth the most, but it's the least likely that you're
going to get it.
I'll show you a little bit how that works and what kind of return you can get.
First off, it's 225 million pets tokens to get a pet.
I already have 225 million.
Actually, I'll buy another 225 million.
Look at that.
I'm going all out on this project.
You're going to swap B and B or whatever.
This is about $300-ish.
$277 is how much that is.
We're going to swap that.
Now, I can open two crates.
We're going to do a double crate reveal.
Actually, I'm going to do that because you can evolve a pet, but to do that, you have
to burn.
By the way, don't worry.
Some of you comment, hey, you're showing us your pin, but actually how Trezor does it
is it's random which number is which on the screen.
You don't know my pin.
I'll give you a hint.
The first number is one.
It's not my birth year.
Now I should have five.
After this is done pending, I should have 500 million pets token or 450 million pets
token.
Sorry, math is very difficult for me.
Let me just make sure I got that.
Then I'll open two crates and you're going to get to see what I use.
Yeah, I want to buy two because to evolve, you have to burn one of the same or greater
rarity.
That's actually sad, burning one of your pets, but it's how you end up evolving them.
Let me connect my wallet.
You have to connect it up here even though that looks like a button.
Don't be deceived.
You're going to connect up here and then I had to approve it.
I approved it already.
There's only 300 of these left in season two.
I'm going to buy this 450 million micro pets, confirm that bad boy.
Are you guys excited to see what I get?
What if I get two bunnies?
That would be so disappointing.
I can barely take the ... Hey kiddos, come here, I'm going to open a crate with a pet
in it.
You're going to see what I open.
Hey, come here.
Come be in my video.
Hey Hayden, or just Everett, okay?
Come on the screen, bud.
We're going to open my crate so they can see you.
We're going to see what I open, okay?
This is my son Everett.
I've not had him in a video before.
You ready, bud?
We're going to see what I open.
Are you excited?
I'm so excited.
These are the different things it could be.
A bunny, a wolf, a cat, a tiger, a whale, a frog, a fox, a gorilla, or a unicorn.
Which one do you hope it is?
The frog?
Pepe?
All right, so bunny's the least.
So hopefully we didn't get two bunnies.
Opening the crate, let's see what we got.
Bunny.
I got two bunnies.
Well, so that's a little disappointing.
Two rabbits.
Now I'm going to burn one.
How do you guys feel about that?
Evolve.
I'm evolving a pet.
So you evolve to make more money, okay?
I'll show you here in a minute.
You need to burn a pet of the same variety.
They should call it something other than burning.
Yeah, I know.
They should.
Approve.
Kids, don't burn pets.
Only you burn pets.
Did you say burn pants?
No, I don't.
Good.
All right, so now my bunny is evolving for 14 days.
You can buy a booster that makes it only seven days, but I did not do that.
Also you can put it on the marketplace, but what I want to do is I want to stake it, okay?
That's where you get the rewards.
So for staking, well, I have to wait until he evolves, but here's where you go in your
pet folio.
You can go to staking.
You can ignore this level up and rank up because that's with season one.
The marketplace, you can go buy specific pets, which if I knew I was going to get two bunnies,
maybe I would have done.
But then if you want to find out how much you're going to make, you go over to this
analytics tab, okay?
So you can, for non-evolved, you can claim and get pets tokens, and this shows you about
how much pets token per day you would get.
So I think bunny's probably the lowest.
Oh, some of the baby ones are the lowest.
So bunny would have gotten me 125,000 tokens a day, which easy way to find out how much
that would be worth is just putting this to BUSD in here.
So they wouldn't have made very much money as pets tokens, about 15 cents a day.
But when you evolve them, then you can actually claim BNB for them.
So an evolved bunny makes $1.17 a day, okay?
So again, if I had gotten something better, the bunny is about the worst thing.
It is the worst.
I guess there's three things under it.
But so I make 35, 36 bucks a month from that bunny that I just bought.
So the return wasn't great on that one, but I might just claim in pets token anyways if
I want to be part of the metaverse someday.
So when that evolves, I can stake it in the petfolio and start making that 35 bucks a
month, and hopefully you get luckier.
Some of these, like the unicorns, if I go back to page one, yeah, you can make like
200 bucks a month.
So and then for the non-evolved ones, you can claim as pets.
After you evolve, then you can claim actual BNB.
You can claim BNB with a tax or you can reinvest as pets for free.
And in the pets pool, you can claim or you can claim as credit that you can use, I believe
in the marketplace.
So yeah, very cool.
So now I have a bunny evolving.
Maybe we'll check back on him periodically.
So all in all, I think it's a pretty fun project.
My kids really like it.
I'll probably end up having to buy them their own.
You know how it goes with kids and things like that.
So if you're interested in getting involved, I would recommend that you go buy yourself,
well, first off, get some pets tokens.
Go buy a couple of crates, evolve, get that stake, start earning pets.
Be ready.
Keep your eye out for the mobile game and join the Discord.
Follow them on Twitter and be ready for the land sale.
That's kind of the next thing that's coming, but that'll be Q3 or Q4 of this year.
So all in all, pretty fun project.
Hope that you find this enjoyable.
Hope you find it cool.
Again, I'm always on the lookout.
Feel free to comment down below or shoot me things that you're looking at that you think
are cool.
Happy to take a look.
But yeah, thanks so much for your support.
Have a great rest of your day.
