DeFi Land’s NFT system
NFT rarity
Each NFT in the game has its rarity and set of attributes. Rarity has a direct effect on the attribute. Here are the metrics for each rarity level:
- Common: The starting level of the NFTs at 1-5 and up to 30.
- Uncommon: The starting level of the NFTs at 5-10 and up to 50.
- Rare: The starting level of NFT at 11-20 and up to 70.
- Epic: The starting level of NFT at 21-30 and up to 90.
- Legendary: The starting level of NFT at 26-50 and up to 100.
Note:
- When a player mints NFT, the level and attributes are generated at random based on the item's rarity. Players need to lock NFT and DFL tokens to upgrade their levels, attributes to the maximum level.
- The energy bar (thunderbolt) represents the number of turns you can play before the NFT should rest. Your NFT will lose 1 energy each time you play.
- Each NFT will have a durability bar (heart-shaped) which you must repair to maintain.
- For every ten durability points lost, the reward will be reduced by 10%. Therefore, you need to be very careful about this.
NFT Attribute
There are four types in the attributes system:
Energy Attributes (Float, Handle, Harvester and Clothes): Attribute stats affect the mana bar's cooldown and the mana limit of that NFT.
Repair Attributes (Bodies and Barrel): The attribute stat affects the cost of restoring animal and tool’s endurance or health. The higher the repair attribute, the lower the amount of money spent per durability point.
Reward Attributes (Hook, Charm, Tube and Head): These attribute stats affect the quality of the rewards you can get after each game. Your reward attribute level serves as a coefficient in calculating your reward probability.
Game Mechanic (Reel, Scope, Wheel and Accessory): The attribute stats that affect the mechanics of each game are as follows:
- Reel (Fishing rod): Increasing the number of bonus points in one play. The higher the bonus points, the better the reward, the Reel stat helps the player get the maximum benefit.
- Scope (Gun): Similar to Reel, the Scope point will increase the score. Besides, the Scope point also increases the crit damage of the gun.
- Wheels (Vehicle): Directly affects the fuel volume of the vehicle and helps the player deliver more orders before the allotted time runs out.
- Accessory (Animal): The animals in DeFi Land all have a love meter, ranging from 1 to 100, which affects the reward amount the player receives. Each time fed with the minimum accessory stat, the pet will receive 2 love points. The higher the stat, the higher the score increases.
In-game token system and rewards
Currently, DeFi Land uses DFL and GOLDY tokens to interact with in-game features:
- DFL is a governance token used for staking, future NFT trading, NFT renaming and other special mechanisms.
- GOLDY is a game reward token that can be used to repair or upgrade NFTs.
In addition to game tokens and experience, players will have the opportunity to earn DFL tokens, new NFT blueprints, and various NFT rewards by participating in in-game features.

Additional Gamification
The toolbar in DeFi Land has a lot of interesting features. Let's learn more about them right below.

Transfer Fund: The meaning of this feature is also represented in part by the paper airplane icon. This is a feature that allows players to transfer their assets with the necessary information such as the recipient address, the token and the amount.
Wallet Transfer: This allows you to switch between gaming wallets and external wallets. Your gaming wallet is stored on project back-end, and contains your rewards from playing games in DeFi Land. The external wallet is the wallet from which you log in to the game.

DeFi Land’s Building
House: The House building is where all the portfolio tracking happens. Players can see which assets have been performing the best and the worst and see the changes in their net worth over time as well as all the tokens that they have. Furthermore, players can check the leaderboard to see their progress with achievements and quests.
To help the player community compete more fairly, the ranking system is divided into two groups: Free to Play and Play to Earn.
Market: This is where the swaps happen. Players can easily swap different tokens on various Solana DEXs.

Seed Laboratory: The place where users can provide liquidity on a DEX and receive seed tokens that are LP tokens in exchange.
As previously stated, not all liquidity pairs will produce seeds. Players must test by adding a trading pair. If the system displays Make Seeds, they can provide them to the Seed Lab.
After breeding, the seeds will appear in the Seeds section with basic information as shown in the image below. Moreover, players can easily add or remove liquidity by using the two buttons: Add and Remove.
Farm Board: All available farms can be viewed on the Farm Board. Players can check metrics such as the APYs, total amount staked, and more.
Information about rewards, fees, or APY will be displayed by lightly hovering the mouse over the position of the seed.
Bank: This building will be the location for lending and borrowing features in the DeFi world.
Radio Tower: The radio tower in DeFi Land brings the decentralized music streaming platform straight into your village.
Players can tune their radio to different channels, including hip-hop, classical, rock and many more.
