It aims to enhance transparency and accessibility within the Hedera ecosystem by making ledger data easily navigable and understandable.
DeraGods is a unique digital collectibles game centered around a collection of 303 distinct non-fungible tokens (NFTs) dubbed "gods" which are minted on the Hedera Hashgraph network. It features an immersive and engaging world-building experience within a bespoke metaverse for its community of holders. Acquiring a DeraGods NFT grants access to the in-game decentralized Web3 environment where participants can contribute to building and securing virtual assets.
A distinctive feature of the DeraGods ecosystem is its "faith scale tax system," which rewards NFT holders based on their level of engagement and commitment to the project. Users can earn faith by following the project’s “commandments” which include directives to engage with and share social media content related to the project, recruiting new members, spreading positive commentary about the Hedera ecosystem, and using Hedera-based tokens and blockchain services to conduct cryptocurrency transactions.
A percentage of all DeraGods NFT sales will go toward purchasing and building virtual assets such as virtual real estate, DApps, liquidity pools, and games.
