Treasure began as a free, fair launch derivative of Loot. The treasure cards were intended as the building blocks for a self-contained universe. The MAGIC token — which today concluded its initial farming phase — is the substance that tethers the Treasure ecosystem. It is not just a currency. It is the economic resource that stabilizes the entire economy.

And now, through the Life project, MAGIC will also be the resource used to power actual lifeforms in the Treasure metaverse.

Genesis of Life

Life is the creation of NFT builder Jumpman. It is the first project built on top of Treasure not created by the team.

The owner of a life NFT begins with a newborn wrapped in swaddling cloth. At pre-determined intervals, the baby grows — first into a child, then a teenager, an adult, and an elderly person.

Through the evolution, the individual will display new traits and undergo age-related changes. They will go to school, fall in love, take an occupation, experience many triumphs and disappointments unique to their life, and finally, pass away.

Life is a long experiential board game. It is meant to be an emotional experience. The NFTs breed like people, not hamsters. Their lifespans are finite but non-trivial, like our own.

The owner of the NFT will be responsible for choosing the direction of the individual’s life. Transferring the NFT to another wallet would “reset” the individual back to a newborn, its life erased.

Life NFTs are not merely collectibles. They will be the first NFT designed to simulate living, as an on-chain experience.

At death, the owner will receive a commemorative NFT of the person that they shepherded through the world.

The role of MAGIC and Treasures

MAGIC breathes life into the NFTs. The owner must stake MAGIC on their NFT to keep it alive. Within 48 hours of having its MAGIC life source removed, the life is extinguished.

The Life builders will incorporate treasures into the project storylines. Treasures are used to enhance the individual’s life and open more opportunities for them.

Daring users will be able to embark on riskier adventures, in which treasures are needed to protect your life from actual peril.

MAGIC and treasures are the building blocks for Life. Treasure is the base layer for a self-contained universe. MAGIC is the ether powering this universe.

Life is the first NFT of its kind in history. It will become a building block for many other projects as well.

Life is Treasure’s initial and flagship integration, demonstrating the emotional depth and nuance that storytellers are capable of achieving in the metaverse.

Gen0

Like treasures, Life will not have a pre-sale. It will be distributed in the migration to Arbitrum.

Users who stake 10,000 MAGIC in the MAGIC migration contract on treasure.lol will receive a Life NFT after the migration. (Each 10,000 equals one life.)

The NFTs distributed in the migration will be the Gen0 of Life. There will be no opportunities to create a life with MAGIC after the migration. MAGIC will be used to sustain the life, but it won’t be able to create one.

There are currently 7 million MAGIC staked in the Arbitrum contract, meaning only 700 Life NFT’s are slated to be made as of now. (There are 92 million MAGIC tokens. The total supply of Gen0 NFT’s is less than 10,000.)

Life is being built by Jumpman, Treasure’s resident artist Mao, and the Treasure development team.
