Pocket Towne

A friendly oasis town where Pocketers can play games, socialize, and decorate their living space. Artist-centric with a focus on collaboration and NFT utility.

Why make Pocket Towne?

Our project is themed in a way that aims to bring in a broad player base, appealing to the casual and experienced gamer. When our vision is brought to life, it should bring people from outside of Cardano into our ecosystem. We wanted to be at the forefront of what can potentially give NFTs fundamental value beyond aesthetic appeal.

What makes it so special?

Our approach was unique from the beginning. We randomized and rarified over 500 traits with our hand-drawn genesis paper-doll NFTs. The NFT metadata contains the inventory you will have to customize your character at game launch. We began building our concept back in June of 2021 and completely skipped all of the early CNFT hype days in favor of putting attention to every detail of what we were building.

But...will it be fun?

This is the question we ask ourselves with every decision we make. We want an overworld that contains fun events and player areas. But, we will also feature easily accessed mini-games that can be played solo or with your friends. Our Cardano native asset, Pocket Change (PTC), will be used for an in-game currency. This will allow us to incentivize an active player base and establish a thriving in-game economy.

NFT

If you’re looking for a Cardano NFT then you’ve found the place for you! listed here are all the projects that feature NFTs in some form on Cardano. NFTs are no longer just the PFP collections that made them famous, although many do still exists and you can find Cardano NFT projects here, NFTs are assets with multiple different types of utility, depending on which project’s NFTs your buying.

A Cardano NFT is a native asset on Cardano which means that, unlike on other (specifically EVM-based) chains, an NFT is not managed by a smart contract, meaning that it behaves and is managed differently to the chain’s base asset, ada. On Cardano NFTs behave the same as the chains base asset as they are native to the chain.

On this page you’ll find everything from Cardano NFT projects to DeFi projects and decentralized identity (DID) solutions that have incorporated NFTs, to the Cardano NFT marketplaces you can use to purchase NFTs.

Metadata

Metadata is an element of a Cardano transaction that can be inputed by the user or automatically generated. It is stored on the blockchain with the transaction that it was sent with. This means that, just like the transactions themselves, metadata is immutable, i.e. unchangeable, and stored forever on the Cardano blockchain.

Anyone can add metadata into a transaction and that metadata is then stored on the blockchain. Many wallets allow you to add custom metadata to a transaction.

Metadata can only be made up of characters i.e. numbers, letters and punctuation, and cannot be a file type, i.e. you cannot unload files like PDFs or MP3s to the blockchain. The size of the metadata you can add to a transactions is limited to 16KB, and a character is, typically, 1 Byte, so that means you can add up to 1600 characters as metadata with any transaction.

Metadata can be used for many purposes the most common is to give some form of context to the transaction. Metadata has been used to store supply chain data, to send arbitrary message to be stored on the blockchain, and to store the hash of a document (allowing the blockchain to be used for proof-of-existence). People have used metadata, on the testnet, to immortalize the Cardano whitepaper, by writing it onto the blockchain as transactions across multiple transactions.

Many block explorers allow users to view and search transaction metadata. Remember, anything you add as metadata to a transaction will always be publicly available on the blockchain.
