What is CryptOrchids?
CryptOrchids is an innovative on-chain NFT game that combines digital collectibles with interactive gameplay. Players can mint tokens to germinate seeds and discover one of 10 rare orchid species, each with varying rarity levels. The total population is limited to 10,000 CryptOrchids, which cannot be bred but can live indefinitely with proper care.
The core gameplay revolves around weekly maintenance, where players must water their CryptOrchids every seven days within a strict 3-hour window to keep them alive. This is managed through smart contracts that track water levels on-chain, and players can water their plants either via the website or by directly interacting with the contract. The game emphasizes sustainability by encouraging composting of dead plants to allow new seeds to be planted.
