There are 2,500 SolSPecters currently living on the Solana blockchain as tradable Gen-1 NFTs. They are what you need to do battle against other Specters(NFTs) to win unlocks, earn rewards and secure airdrops.

A SolSpecter in hand comes with irresistible perks from the holder being able to fuse two Specters into one powerful Specter to the ability to trade it by barter on MagicEden and ExchangeArt.

As an innovative utility, the story of SolSpecters begins at the end of the Great Gas War that destroyed life on earth. SolSpecters are the mutated species of a people who live on a distant Island and mine a dangerous substance called Algium.

The mining of Alguim, a powerful and magical mineral laying at the deepest part of the earth, brings infectious diseases with it and eventually leads to the genetic mutation of a people who once lived as humans. In essence, SolSpecters, the survivors of the Great Gas War, are half-dead and half-living race and in order to survive they must do battle against one another.

The game utility of Solspecters is technically a reflection of it being a vast mingling of different mutated species with the will to survive in different surroundings where they have been acclimatized. As a result, the gamer is treated to a variety of SolSpecters with different qualities and whose survival is oriented toward earning such rewards as new armour and health boost when they are pitched against one another.

Staking SolSpecters

The advantage conferred by the POS algorithm of the Solana blockchain makes it profitable to stake NFTs for rewards. Staking SolSpecters unlocks pets that add special capabilities to your Specters in battles which makes collecting them all the more interesting. And because it is similar to collecting Pokemons, it’s pretty easy to understand how SolSpecters create an immersive experience in gaming through rewards and incentives.

Moreso, staking SolSpecters is an eligibility criterion for the project’s ERC-20 token which is part of the plans to pump the project and gain a huge following on the long term basis.

The place of Alguim in SolSpecters

The crreative force behind SolSpecters is surreal which is why there is a need to take a flight of imagination to have a full graps of the story as it unveils. It turns out that the mining of a fictituous magical substamce called Alguim by the Nadives gives rise to the proliferation of a new race of half-dead half-living race called the Specters.

Alguim is manipulated into producing a far more lethal substance called MUs and within a short window of time infectious diseases begin to take a toll on the Island’s population.

With a large number of Nadives decimated, the need to stop mining Alguim is debated and consequently what was once a united people is divided alomg the question of whether to ban Alguim. Meanwhile, the experiments conducted by both sides reveal that the dead Nadives can be brought back to live by fusing their shells with the dangerous substance. The result is the proliferation of SolSpecters which are weaponized to do battle against one another on behalf of the warring people.

SolSpecters as a PVP game.

One quality that helps SolSpecters to stand out is its ability to NFTivize itself in real time. It is a unique game which pithces one player against another and offers such rewards as cash and instruments that can be converted to real money. The incentive in making it a PVP is tailored towards creating a unique gaming experience with SolSpecters as NFTs on the Solana blockchain.

Gamers are exclusively offered the chance to monitize their assets which can be bought or sold for profits. In terms of its value proposition, the P2E element incorporated into SolSpecters entails that it is targetted at offering a fast, casual and pocket-friendly adventure to gamers who are looking at earning a passive income.

It is set to solve the problem of gatekeeping in blockchain gaming which often is the case when the cost for playing a p2e game is high for the average cypto investor.

The Classes & Qualities of SolSPecters.

There is behind every SolSPecter an interesting story that relates their habitats and those special qualities that set them apart from one another. For instance, Abbysals are Specter’s that are found deep underwate where they spend the rest of their lives! They move at such a break-neck speed that it maybe difficult to see them! The following is a short description of five other SolSpecters listed in no particular order :
