Capybobo's second-generation game will launch on January 16, continuing to empower the PYBOBO token with a brand-new use case

BlockBeats News, January 10th. Web3 NFT project Capybobo teased its second-generation VWA game, scheduled to be launched on January 16th. As the sole asset entry ticket to the ecosystem, consuming PYBOBO tokens to capture "NFT Bobo" will become a core application scenario. After players consume PYBOBO tokens to obtain the NFT Bobo, they can start deep nurturing and hash power mining. Based on the WHS weighted algorithm, the improvement of the NFT Bobo's level will bring about an exponential burst in hash power. Players who enter early and engage in deep nurturing will share a more generous portion of the mining pool. Simultaneously, all in-game consumption of PYBOBO tokens for NFT capture and mining output will be seamlessly recorded on-chain through VWA technology. This transparent verification mechanism ensures that in the PYBOBO token-driven NFT economy, every asset change is genuine and tamper-proof.
