After teasing the news for a couple months now, we are finally ready to announce our next Unioverse Hero NFT and how you can get one. 

Krishah, the deadly assassin, will be the next Unioverse Hero NFT released, and she’ll be minting sometime in May. Krishah won’t just be an amazing looking, fully realized 3D NFT. Owning a Hero like Krishah or Reyu gives you access to Unioverse games! We’ll be doling out more details about the official mint date and about Krishah in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.  

Just like with our first Hero mint, Reyu, you’ll be able to get your own Krishah by earning Protens. And – just in case you forgot – you earn Protens by playing our Unioverse Collectibles game!

More than 900,000 Collectibles were minted during the first season of our Collectibles game. And now we’re back with Series 2. As always, these new Unioverse Collectibles will contain eye-popping artwork and snippets of lore from the story of the Unioverse. They are also totally free to mint. 

The first of our next Series of Collectibles drops at 11am MT this Friday, March 17th! We are hosting a Twitter Spaces this Friday to kick off the next series of Collectibles, provide more info and answer questions from the Community, so be sure to set a reminder for that!

As a refresher: When you own and hold Unioverse Collectibles, you earn Protens, which are like Unioverse loyalty points. The more Collectibles you have and the longer you hold them, the more Protens you earn. Earn enough Protens and you could mint a Krishah of your own. 

But there are a couple of other important bits in this process. First, you need to actually go collect your Protens by visiting https://protens.unioverse.com. Once there, just log in and click the Earn button. Our system automatically tabulates your Protens count and updates your total, so be sure to check back regularly.

The second bit is that our Collectibles are numbered. When you Collect designated consecutive Collectibles (e.g. 1 – 4), you have what’s called a set. Sets can be combined into higher-tier Collectibles that earn you even more Protens (but you still need to visit https://protens.unioverse.com to actually get them!). To combine Collectibles, visit https://combine.unioverse.com/, sign in and follow the instructions. We’ll show you which Collectibles you have and if you are missing any (perfect collections get a bonus!).

Collectible NFTs are a fun and free way to learn more about the Unioverse and unlock digital perks (like Krishah!). Collectible drops happen regularly, but randomly, so you’ll want to follow us on Twitter and join our Discord to learn when we release them.  

Unioverse Collectibles are a fantastic way to start with the Unioverse. We’ve been giving away these free NFTs to our community for a few months now. If you’re new to the Unioverse, it’s not too late to start collecting them! Here’s a quick explainer on how to get started!

What are Unioverse Collectibles?

Unioverse Collectibles are free NFTs that contain Unioverse concept art and story lore. These Collectibles are handed out on a regular basis. You can see released Collectibles on OpenSea.

Why would I want Unioverse Collectibles? 

You want them because owning and holding Unioverse Collectibles earns you Protens. Protens are like loyalty points. Earn enough Protens and you redeem them for digital rewards such as Unioverse Hero NFTs, which are what you need to access future Unioverse videogames. 

What are Protens?

In the story of the Unioverse, Protens are the energy source that powers the alien technology. In the world of Unioverse NFTs, Protens are what you earn by owning and holding Unioverse Collectible NFTs.

What are Unioverse Hero NFTs?

Hero NFTs are AAA-quality, 3D characters from the story of the Unioverse. You need to own a Unioverse Hero to access forthcoming Unioverse games. Check out minted Hero NFTs on OpenSea.

Where do I get Unioverse Collectibles? 

There are two ways to get them. 

1. Follow us on Twitter and join our Discord. That’s where we announce Collectible drops. 
2. You can purchase them on OpenSea (just make sure you refresh the metadata before purchase to ensure the Collectible is still charged)

What is Forging? 

The Unioverse Collectibles we hand out are “Tier 1.” If you collect perfect sets of Tier 1 Collectibles, you can Forge them into a Tier 2 Collectible. Tier 2 Collectibles earn more Protens than Tier 1. Collect a perfect set of Tier 2 Collectibles, they can be Forged into a Tier 3 Collectible, which earns even more Protens. Find out more on the Collectibles Combine site (registration required).

Quick note: Collectibles can only be Forged once. As soon as they are Forged, they lose their charge. So if you are purchasing a Collectible on OpenSea, be sure to refresh its metadata to ensure that it still has a charge. 

What do I need to start collecting? 

You must set up a Unioverse account and connect a MetaMask digital wallet.

Can I do this on my mobile device? 

No. Setting up a Unioverse account, minting Unioverse Collectibles and earning Protens must be done on a desktop/laptop. 

Can I combine Proten counts from multiple wallets in my Unioverse account?

Each wallet represents its own Proten count calculation. You can (and should) collect from each of the wallets to one Unioverse account, then transfer them all into a single wallet for simplicity.

How many Protens do I need to get a Hero?

The Protens requirement changes for each Hero. Follow us on Twitter and join our Discord to be among the first to learn when Hero prices are announced. 

Where can I see how many Protens I have?

While you earn Protens just for holding Collectibles, you must earn them by visiting Protens.unioverse.com. Once there, click the Earn button to calculate your Proten count. 

When will Unioverse games come out?

We’ll have more to announce about this later this year. 

I have a question not listed here, where should I go? 

The best bet is to join our Discord and contact one of our mods. 

We had a blast during our first Unioverse Hero Claim event this past weekend. More than 20,000 Reyu Genesis NFTs were claimed (the first 2,000 were taken in under two minutes during the open claim!).

But maybe you missed out on the Reyu Genesis claim. Maybe you just learned about our Collectibles game in the last couple of weeks and didn’t have a chance to earn enough Protens. That’s okay! The Unioverse is just getting started and there are plenty of ways going forward for you to get your own Unioverse Hero NFT.

Why do you want a Unioverse Hero NFT? First off, they are awesome. I mean, just look at them. Each Hero is a unique AAA-quality, fully-rendered 3D character.

But the bigger reason is that Unioverse Hero NFTs grant you access to Unioverse games! Own a Unioverse Hero and you can play Unioverse games. How your Hero NFT looks is how your character will look while playing these games.

So now you know how great Unioverse Heroes are, but you missed the mint. What can you do?

Option 1 – Go to OpenSea

Because these Heroes are NFTs, if you own one you can do what you like with it. Keep ’em. Collect ’em. Or sell them on the open market. In this case, Reyu Genesis Heroes are now available on OpenSea. Dip your toe in and purchase a Common, or go all-in and pay for a Pinnacle. No matter what rarity Hero you get, they all have the same power-set, so there’s no pay-to-win nonsense.

You can purchase a Reyu Genesis by visiting any of these links:

• Unioverse Legendary Heroes
• Unioverse Epic Heroes
• Unioverse Rare Heroes
• Unioverse Uncommon Heroes
• Unioverse Common Heroes

REMINDER: Only buy Unioverse Hero NFTs through legitimate Unioverse sources. Follow us on Twitter and join our Discord for official Unioverse news and information.

Option 2 – Start Playing the Unioverse Collectibles Game

This option gets you ready for our next Unioverse Hero NFT release. We said that our next Hero release will be Krishah, and you can prepare by playing our Unioverse Collectibles game.

We release Unioverse Collectibles on a regular basis. These free NFTs have some concept art as well as a little bit of lore from the story of the Unioverse. Owning and holding these Collectibles earns you Protens. Earn enough Protens and you can claim the next Unioverse Hero (supply is limited).

This blog post and this FAQ explain how the process worked for Reyu Genesis. Long story short, to play the Collectibles game, follow us on Twitter and join our Discord to learn about future Collectible drops, then once you have Collectible NFTs, be sure to collect your Protens on a regular basis to see how many you have.

Normally, I’m a guy with plenty of stories and things to say, but when it comes to the success of Reyu Genesis, our first Hero NFT claim this past weekend — I’m speechless.

Let’s cut to the chase:

• We sold out! All 20,000 Reyu Genesis Hero NFTs were claimed
• During the open event, 18,000 Hero NFTs were claimed in under four hours

If there was ever a time to toot our own horn, well, it’s now. Because sure, these Reyu Genesis NFTs were free, but we wanted to ensure that our community and fans got these Heroes — not ‘bots. So:

• To get a Reyu Genesis, you had to be whitelisted (only 2,000 whitelist spots were granted) or you had to be playing our Unioverse Collectibles game to earn enough Protens.
• Not only that, but users had to register an account with us and provide a phone number.
• We minted on our own site, not a third-party platform, so our fans had sought us out.
• And oh yeah, we’re neck deep in a crypto winter that’s seeing tons of other NFT projects falter.

Despite those headwinds we knew how excited our community was, but we didn’t fully appreciate how exciting the actual mint would be! To balance rewarding early and ardent players of our Collectibles game and making Reyus accessible to relative newcomers, we released Reyus across four different phases with the price going down over each phase.

Phase one — the most expensive batch at 2,000 Protens a pop — sold out 2,000 Reyus in under two minutes. Phase two sold out an additional 2,000 Reyus in three minutes. We kept hitting refresh on the Hero count and watched in awe as it plummeted. When it was all said and done, it took less than four hours for more than 18,000 Reyus to be claimed.

We really want to take a moment to thank our community for showing up yesterday. We are, after all, a community-owned franchise and we’re building all of this — the Collectibles, the Heroes, the games — for you. So thank you.

But we are not resting on any laurels here. We’re airdropping claimed NFTs to their wallets as we speak and will hold a global reveal starting with a live event on January 17 a 2:00 p.m. US MT / 10 p.m. UTC. After that? We’re right back at it, creating more awesome Collectibles, and prepping the release of our second hero — Krishah!

If you haven’t jumped on board the Unioverse train yet, now’s the perfect time to do so. Follow us on Twitter and join our Discord and learn how our Collectibles and Protens work. See you at the next mint! 

After months of waiting, today we are revealing how many Protens you need in order to mint a Reyu Genesis Hero NFT! A big THANK YOU to everyone in the community who has been playing our Unioverse Collectible game over the past few months and earning those Protens! 

As we head towards our first Hero mint – Reyu Genesis – we wanted to create a system that both rewards people who have been consistently playing our Collectibles game from the beginning, and make it open enough for people who might be newer to the Unioverse. So we’ve come up with the following process (reminder! You need .003 ETH in your wallet per Reyu), which will start on January 15 at 3:00 p.m. UTC:

Total supply is 20,000 Reyu Genesis minus whitelist giveaways. 

Phase 1 (Target allotment 2,000 Reyus)

• 2,000 Protens per Reyu. Purchase 1 or 20 at a time. 

Phase 2 (Target allotment 3,000 Reyus) 

• 1,000 Protens per Reyu. Purchase 1 or 5 at a time.

Phase 3 (Target allotment 5,000 Reyus)

• 500 Protens per Reyu. Purchase 1 or 3 at a time.

Phase 4 Remaining supply sells out or until time runs out at 2:00 a.m. UTC Jan 16, 2023

• 300 Protens per Reyu. You can buy 1 Reyu at a time. 

Earn your Protens!

Before you can mint, you’ll need to know how many Protens you have! So go right now and visit the Unioverse Proten Calculator, which will tally up your total Proten count. Then you’ll know at which stage of the mint you can participate. 

If you have enough Protens:

Hooray! Good for you! Thanks for playing our Collectibles game. Now things get real.

• The mint starts on January 15, at 3:00 p.m. UTC. Don’t be late, these Reyus are going to go quickly.
• On January 15, at 3:00 p.m. UTC visit redeem.unioverse.com (DESKTOP or LAPTOP ONLY! NOT ON MOBILE)
• Follow the instructions to mint. You will need at least .003 ETH per Reyu purchased.
• Your Reyu will be airdropped to your connected wallet within 48 hours.
• You’ll know the rarity of your Reyu upon it hitting your wallet.
• On January 17, the actual look of your Reyu will be unveiled during an online global reveal event led by the Unioverse Team.

Good luck! Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky eleven people who score a Pinnacle Reyu.

For more information, visit our Reyu Genesis minting FAQ.

If you do not have enough Protens:

That’s okay! Reyu Genesis is just the beginning! Keep collecting and holding Unioverse Collectibles to earn Protens. You can use your Protens for future Hero launches and other rewards throughout the year!

FAQ

Is there a limit to how many Reyus I can purchase?

No.

If I bulk buy 20 Reyus at once, do I need to pay 20*.003 ETH?

Yes. The transaction fee is .003 ETH per Reyu. So fill your wallet accordingly.

Will whitelisters buy up all of the supply?

No. We are allocating just 4,000 Reyus for whitelisters. The good news is that any extra Reyus leftover from the whitelist mint will be added to the Community supply.

When will whitelist people get Protens added? How does the process work?

If you are on a whitelist:

• On January 12, at 5:00 p.m. UTC visit redeem.unioverse.com (DESKTOP ONLY, NOT MOBILE)
• Your account will be pre-filled with enough Protens to exchange for your Reyu Genesis (NOTE: If you have been earning Protens and are whitelisted, you can only spend whitelist Protens at this time. Earned Protens can only be spent during the public mint.)
• Purchase your Reyu (remember to have enough ETH in there for gas fees!)
• Your Reyu will be airdropped to your wallet at some point on January 16 or 17th
• Whitelist ends January 14th at 5:00 p.m. UTC, if you do not claim your whitelist spot by that time, you lose it
• You will know the rarity of your Reyu Genesis upon receiving it, but the actual look of your Hero won’t be available until January 17, when the Unioverse Team will be hosting a live global reveal event

I’ve been a collector all my life. Game-used Major League bats and MLB signed baseballs. Antique golf clubs (I’m talking pre-1900). Nintendo memorabilia (the rare things only insiders get). And like any good collector, I prefer getting something that’s one-of-a-kind-never-to-be-made-again-or-found-anywhere-else. 

Oh yeah. That’s the good stuff. 

I’m channeling my love of collecting into our upcoming Reyu Genesis mint, and had the team create what I’m calling Pinnacle Reyus. These will be the rarest of the rare Reyu Genesis, and you’re going to want one. If you get a Pinnacle when we do our global Reyu reveal on January 17th, you should feel like the biggest winner, the top dog, king of the mountain as others look upon you with envy.

The Reyu Genesis Hero mint on January 15th will have a supply of 20,000 unique NFTs across Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary rarities. The Pinnacle Collection are the tippy-top of the Legendary set. It breaks down like so: 

• Common: 11,140
• Uncommon: 6,200
• Rare: 1,600
• Epic: 800
• Legendary: 260

Of those 260 Legendary, only 11 will be Pinnacle.

Taking it one step further, those 11 Pinnacles will be ranked. With #1 being the best of the best of the entire collection.

Pinnacle Reyu Genesis NFTs will also have their own metadata on OpenSea denoting their Pinnacle status, something no other Reyu will have.

I should make clear that even though these Pinnacle Reyus are super rare, they will not have extra power sets or have some other advantage in forthcoming Unioverse games. Any Hero NFT you get – no matter the rarity – will grant you access to Unioverse games, but won’t give you any competitive edge (just bragging rights!). 

Everyone will have the same chance of getting a Pinnacle Reyu Genesis, but you can’t get one (or any Reyu Genesis) unless you’ve been whitelisted or have earned enough Protens (check your Proten count here)! Whether you’re a hardcore collector (like me!), a gamer, or just a fan of what we’re building here at the Unioverse, our AAA-quality Hero NFTs will make an excellent collection. 

We here at Unioverse HQ are so excited because Reyu Genesis, our first Unioverse Hero NFT is minting on Jan 15!

To get you ready, here’s everything you need to know about Reyu Genesis and the minting process:

What is a Unioverse Hero NFT?

Unioverse Hero NFTs are fully-rendered, 3D, AAA-quality game-ready digital assets. Not only are these NFTs gorgeous to look at, the Hero you own is how your character will look in the games. Most important, though, is that our Hero NFTs have tons of utility because owning a Hero NFT grants you access to Unioverse games.

What is Reyu Genesis?

In the story of the Unioverse Reyu is a bad-ass Ja’Din hunter, and he is also the first Unioverse Hero NFT we’re launching. The Reyu Genesis collection will have 20,000 unique Reyus NFTs across all rarities.

Cool. How do I get a Reyu Genesis?

To get a Reyu Genesis NFT, you’ll need to either be whitelisted or have enough Protens. If you’ve been following us on Twitter, you’ll see that we’ve been doing a number of whitelist giveaways with other cool NFT projects and guilds. If you haven’t been able to score a whitelist, you’ll need Protens.

We’ve covered earning Protens here before, so we won’t go into too much detail in this post. But the TL;DR version is:

• To earn Protens you need to own and hold Unioverse Collectible NFTs
• We’ve been giving away Unioverse Collectible NFTs over the past couple of months
• The more Collectibles you own and the longer you hold them, the more Protens you earn
• Rack up enough Protens (check your Proten count with our Proten Calculator) and you can earn rewards like the ability to purchase a Reyu Genesis Hero NFT

On January 10, we will announce how many Protens you need in order to obtain a Reyu Genesis

If you are brand new and haven’t been collecting Unioverse Collectibles / Protens — no worries! There will be more opportunities to redeem Protens throughout this year and beyond!

I’m on a whitelist, what do I do?

Congrats! Now:

• Set up a Unioverse account here, if you haven’t done so already
• Connect an Ethereum digital wallet to your Unioverse account (desktop only, not mobile)
• You’ll need .003 ETH in your wallet for each Reyu transaction to cover the gas fees

Once all that is done:

• On January 12, at 5:00 p.m. UTC visit redeem.unioverse.com (DESKTOP ONLY, NOT MOBILE)
• Your account will be pre-filled with enough Protens to exchange for your Reyu Genesis (NOTE: If you have been earning Protens and are whitelisted, you can only spend whitelist Protens at this time. Earned Protens can only be spent during the public mint.)
• Purchase your Reyu (remember to have enough ETH in there for gas fees!)
• Your Reyu will be airdropped to your wallet at some point on January 16 or 17th
• Whitelist ends January 14th at 5:00 p.m. UTC, if you do not claim your whitelist spot by that time, you lose it
• You will know the rarity of your Reyu Genesis upon receiving it, but the actual look of your Hero won’t be available until January 17, when the Unioverse Team will be hosting a live global reveal event

Woo-hoo! I’ve got enough Protens, what do I do?

That’s rad. You’re rad for collecting so many Collectibles! Here’s how you get your Reyu:

• Check your Proten count with our Proten Calculator to make sure you have enough to get your Reyu Genesis
• Make sure your Ethereum wallet is connected and has at least .003 ETH to cover the gas fees (you’ll need .003 ETH for every Reyu you purchase, so make sure you’ve got enough)
• The mint will begin on January 15, at 3:00 p.m. UTC. At that time, visit redeem.unioverse.com and sign in to your Unioverse account (DESKTOP ONLY. NOT MOBILE)
• You will be directed to the purchase page, if you have enough Protens, you can click “Purchase” to claim your Reyu Genesis (remember to have enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees!)
• If you have enough Protens, you can get multiple Reyu Genesis NFTs (just remember you have to pay .003 ETH for gas fees for every transaction)
• Your Reyu will be airdropped to your wallet within 48 hours
• You will know the rarity of your Reyu Genesis upon receiving it, but the actual look of your Hero won’t be available until January 17, when the Unioverse Team will be hosting a live global reveal event

Why are you staggering the minting and the reveal?

As you’ll see, when you mint your Reyu Genesis, your NFT may not hit your wallet for up to 48 hours. Once you receive it, you’ll know the rarity of your NFT, but the look of your Reyu won’t be fully revealed until January 17.

We’re doing this for a couple of reasons. We want to make sure we keep gas fees low and we don’t want to jam up the system so the whole process works as smoothly as possible. The other is that we want to celebrate the launch of Reyu Genesis with you. We’ll be hosting a live event on January 17, so everyone can join in a global reveal party.

Why are you charging for gas fees?

We are implementing this system to help enhance the security of each transaction and keep overall costs down for everyone participating in the mint.

When will the next Unioverse Hero mint be?

We are just getting warmed up! We’ll be launching many similar minting events and more Hero NFTs (Krishah is on the way!) throughout the year, so follow us on Twitter and join our Discord server for the latest news and info.

In the beginning, there were Unioverse Collectible NFTs – and they were fun! Then we gave those Collectibles depth and increased utility with our Protens program, and they became fun and useful! Today we take Unioverse Collectibles to the next level with the launch of our Combine feature. 

If this is your first time reading about our Collectibles. Here’s a quick catchup: 

• Unioverse Collectibles are free NFTs that feature art and story from the Unioverse. We drop these on a regular basis (follow us on Twitter and join our Discord to learn when the next drop is!). Here’s a Collectibles explainer. 
• Owning and holding Unioverse Collectibles earns you Protens. Earn enough Protens and you can unlock special rewards like Reyu Genesis, our first Unioverse Hero NFT that you can use to play Unioverse games. Here’s a quick Protens explainer. 

And now, we are rewarding those people with a passion for collecting with our new Combine feature. In brief, when you hold all of the Collectibles in a set, and all of them are charged, you can forge them into a higher-tier Collectible that will earn you even more Protens!

Here’s how combining works. 

The Right Combination

If you have a Unioverse Collectible, you’ll see three numbers in the bottom right corner of the NFT. These numbers actually have a purpose! 

Let’s take this Collectible as an example:

The numbers 1-1-11 each represent something.

• The first number represents the Series of Collectibles. That first “1” indicates that it’s from our first Series of Collectibles. 
• The second number shows the “Tier” of the Collectible. More on that in a second. 
• The last number shows what number that Collectible is in that tier’s series. So the example above is the eleventh Collectible in the first series of tier one Collectibles. 

When you hold four sequential Collectibles, you can form a “set.” For example, if you hold Collectibles with the numbers: 

1-1-1

1-1-2

1-1-3

1-1-4  

You have a complete set! It’s important to note that combining requires a specific set of Collectibles, not just any four in a sequence. So, if you only had numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5, you do not have a complete set because you are missing 1. Don’t worry though, our system keeps track for you!

Before we combine, though, there’s one more thing to know about. 

Get Charged Up!

Let’s look at our example Collectible again:

You see that glowing symbol that changes in the bottom left-hand corner? That is your Collectible’s “charge.” Your Unioverse Collectible must have a charge in order to be forged.

A charge can only be spent one time. Once your Collectible has been forged, that charge is gone. 

When the charge is gone, this symbol will become static and locked to one single symbol. Additionally, the Collectible’s Energy property will change from “Charged” to “Spent.”

Combine Your Collectibles

So you’ve got a complete set of Collectibles and they are all charged up, what next? You visit our Combine page to “Forge” higher-tier Collectibles. 

Higher-tier Collectibles earn you even more Protens than lower-tier Collectibles. Like, a lot more. If you are interested in amassing as many Protens as possible (more Protens = unlocking rewards like Unioverse Hero NFTs), you want higher-tier Collectibles, so by extension, you want to collect as many free Unioverse Collectibles as possible! 

To Forge higher-tier Collectibles, sign in to your Unioverse account, and you’ll automatically see all of your Collectibles laid out in sets. 

In this example, the bottom row shows a complete set of Collectibles that have been forged into a new Collectible. Notice the green line on the new Collectible on the right, and the 2 in its number. This indicates it is a Tier 2 Collectible. 

The middle row shows a complete set that has not been forged yet. Notice the bright blue dots in the bottom corners which indicate that all those Collectibles are still charged. These will dim when spent. You will also see a “Ready” indicator to the right.

The top row shows an incomplete set of Collectibles. Collectible number 3 is missing and Collectible 4 has yet to be released (in this example). At this point, this holder would not be able to Forge this row because two Collectibles are missing from this row.

Forging is as simple as clicking the “Forge” button at the top. It will be disabled if you have no sets available to forge, and lit up when you can make at least one set.

There are two important things to know!

First, when you click the Forge button, all available sets will be forged. This means that if you could forge multiple sets, or even if you’ve successfully forged a row before, new collectibles will be forged. Simply put, if you have four charged collectibles in a set when that Forge button is clicked, those NFTs will lose the charges and you’ll get a new Tier 2 created. If you don’t want that to happen, move copies of Collectibles into digital wallets not associated with your Unioverse account.

Second, when a collectible has its property changed from Charged to Spent, that will occur immediately but OpenSea may not show the change right away. If you plan on buying any on the open market, please make sure to refresh the metadata.

If you’ve got Collectible NFTs, go to our Combine page and Forge them!

Combining will bring a new dimension and fun to our Collectibles game, and we hope you enjoy forging as much as we had building it. Keep collecting, start combining, and get as many Protens as possible before we launch our first Unioverse Hero NFT, the Reyu Genesis collection, on January 15, 2023!

We are less than a month away from the launch of Reyu Genesis, our first Unioverse Hero NFT! Remember, there are only two ways you can get a Reyu:

1. Earn Whitelisting either through achieving status on our Discord or through a partnership we’re doing with another project
2. Earn enough Protens

You can check out a full explainer on the entire process here. And this FAQ will help guide you through the Proten collection process. 

What are Protens?

In the story of the Unioverse, Protens are the energy source that powers the alien technology. In the world of Unioverse NFTs, Protens are what you earn by owning and holding Unioverse Collectible NFTs (which we’ve been dropping for free for a number of weeks now).

If you’ve been collecting (and keeping!) Unioverse Collectible NFTs, then you have been accruing Protens automatically, but the process is not complete. Read on.

Do I have to earn my Protens? Isn’t the process automatic?

While you accrue Protens just by holding Collectibles, you must earn them in order to redeem them for any offer like the upcoming Reyu Genesis.

How do I earn Protens?

You can earn Protens and see your Proten count by visiting our Proten Calculator (desktop only). You’ll need to sign in to / up for your Unioverse account, and make sure the digital wallet you used to obtain Unioverse Collectibles is connected to your Unioverse account in the upper right.

Once that is done, go to the Proten page, click the “Earn” button.

You’ll see our system tabulating your total and the official count appearing above the “Earn” button.

How are Protens calculated? 

Reference the Protens Calculator log in the box to the right of the Earn button. 

How often can I collect Protens?

Once a day. You can collect new Protens after 00:01 UTC (midnight UTC).

Do I have enough Protens to mint a Reyu?

We will be releasing the Proten requirements for Reyu soon. However, Reyu is just the first — not the only — Unioverse Hero NFT that will mint. We will have many more similar events happening over the coming year and beyond including mints for other Unioverse Heroes like Krishah. 

More importantly, Protens will always be useful in the Unioverse, so hold on to them; you never know what they could be redeemed for.

Do multiple copies of the same Collectible each accrue Protens? 

Yes.

My wallet is not connected to my account and I can’t connect it, what do I do?

You must connect it on a desktop, using the wallet button in upper right. Chrome with Metamask is recommended.

I got a ‘perfect collection bonus = False’, what does that mean?

It means there was not a complete collection on the day being calculated. The complete collection bonus was added to reward our earliest adopters, so you will not get a multiplier on your Protens.

Can I mint a Reyu or collect Protens from my phone?

No. You will need a desktop to connect your wallet to your Unioverse account, and to get Reyu! After your wallet is connected to your account, you can collect Protens from mobile, but that is not officially supported.

I’ve held my collectibles before 30th Nov. Will mine be calculated from before then?

Protens are calculated daily. The “Daily Report Log” does not go back past 30th Nov., but your total Proten count will be accurate and reflect the depth and breadth of your collection.

What is the criteria for getting Protens? I’m seeing zero on my end.

Make sure that your wallet is connected. For every day you have a collectible in your wallet, you will gain Protens. 

Can I combine Proten counts from multiple wallets in my Unioverse account?

Each wallet represents its own Proten count calculation. You can (and should) collect from each of the wallets to one Unioverse account, then transfer them all into a single wallet for simplicity.

I have collectibles spread across multiple wallets, what do I do? 

See above. It’s best to have all collectibles in one wallet. However, every time you transfer collectibles you lose any Protens you didn’t collect. The best thing to do is collect protens on each wallet, then transfer them all into a single wallet so that any perfect collection bonus applies to them all. 

My count is wrong!

If you think your Proten count is being calculated incorrectly, please open a ticket on Discord and share with us your wallet address. We can look on-chain to see when certain transfers happened that could have affected your Proten count. While we cannot retrieve Protens that you might have left behind, we can provide clarity as to why it’s being calculated the way it is to ensure you don’t leave your Protens behind again.  

Can I buy a perfect collection?

If you are missing a collectible and want to get it today to restore your perfect collection bonus, that will work but it will not retroactively restore a perfect collection bonus. 

It’s one thing for us to tell you that Unioverse Heroes are gorgeous, world-class, game-ready NFTs.

But it’s another thing entirely to show you.

Today we are proud to announce the availability of our Unioverse Viewer. With this Viewer, you can browse thousands of unique next-generation NFTs — fully-rendered 3D Unioverse Heroes across all rarities. The Viewer even has manual controls so you can spin, tilt, pan and zoom in to see every little detail that we put into making AAA-quality NFTs. Put a melee or ranged weapon in their hand to see what they’ll look like as they charge into battle.

That’s right. You can preview how they’ll look in action because our Hero NFTs are how players will look in Unioverse games. These aren’t just pretty pictures. Unioverse Hero NFTs have utility. Owning a Unioverse Hero NFT grants you access to all Unioverse games. I’ll say it again just to be clear: All Unioverse games. (Check out our Unioverse Developer Logs to see these characters jump, climb, wall run and more in early game test environments)

The first Hero we’re launching is Reyu, a bad-ass Ja’Din Hunter known and feared throughout the Unioverse. With our Viewer, you can preview thousands of unique Reyus right now. Purple Reyus. Shiny Reyus. Masked Reyus. Each one different. All are awesome. To get the Viewer you’ll need to be on a PC (view full specs here). But once you download it, you’ll be able to sift through and enjoy looking at as many Reyus as you like. And as we announce and add more Hero NFTs, you’ll be able to see those as well.

We’re minting our first set of Reyus on January 15, 2023. You’ll need Protens to get a Reyu. To earn enough Protens, you need to be collecting Unioverse Collectible NFTs. It’s all very simple (and free!). Check out our full Collectible/Proten explainer for all the details.
