PlayToEarn, inspired by Axie Infinity, implemented in an traditional game.
In-server currencies of Pokémon Showdown's servers (the servers that have their own currencies, even these that xPOKE doesn't controls), convertible to their "wrapped/pegged"/tokenized form (xPOKE).
xPOKE uses Ethereum's layer2 XDai network.
The DAO that can mint tokens has been decentralized a bit, with its minting capabilities granted to an multisignature Gnosis vault (the hot wallet is also multisig, but less safe than the vault multisig, but also holding less amounts, as supposed for an hot wallet). Soon it will be more decentralized, with chatbots as oracles and an smart-contract autonomously responsible for minting. Futurely it can also be fully ran on Golem network.
Soon, in-server items (nickname effects, Trainer Card effects, clans, etc) will be paired as NFTs.
