# What is ZTX?

Build, Play, Earn: Welcome to ZTX.

Decentralized worlds and games represent a new digital frontier, laying the foundation for ownership, communities, and the internet economy, all while onboarding the next generation of crypto users.

Until now, these goals have been challenging to reach for many Web3 metaverse projects. The balance between incentives and fun has been hard to achieve. These were our driving factors behind the launch of ZTX.&#x20;

**Welcome to ZTX.**

<figure><img src="/files/8yslYYQxqjeCRBxl1FWv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

ZTX builds upon the foundation and success of ZEPETO, the largest metaverse platform in Asia with over 430M[^1] registered users. Prioritizing interoperability and scalability, ZTX harnesses blockchain technology to empower players, creators, and communities.&#x20;

ZTX embodies three core pillars: **Identity**, **Experience**, and **Creator Development**.

* **Identity**: ZTX takes avatar identity and experience to new heights. Extending what currently exists in Z[^1]EPETO, ZTX not only empowers users to create their digital identity, it also leverages their creativity and monetizes their time through actual on-chain ownership of assets.
* **Experience**: ZTX offers a range of experiences for all types of users, while integrating social aspects into its multi-layered approach to building a world. In this immersive 3D multiplayer world, players can create and trade digital assets, self-express through customizable avatars, lands, and homes, and compete among other players to win rewards. Future plans for ZTX include integrating aspects of decentralized finance, establishing a multi-tiered economy, self-governed Districts, portal games, and much more.
* **Creator Development**: ZTX empowers not only creators but also players and communities to monetize through gameplay. For creators, ZTX offers a new medium to express themselves, grow their fan base, and earn from asset and experience creation. It is a platform that serves as a playground for creativity and community, enabling users of all backgrounds to chart their journeys in a digital world beyond the physical.

ZTX is introducing this immersive world to a diverse audience, encompassing both crypto natives and existing ZEPETO users. ZTX places a strong emphasis on education and empowerment, ensuring that all users, regardless of their background, have access to Web3 tools and experiences. Leveraging the existing ZEPETO software architecture, the Web2 user base, and a robust pipeline of partnerships with global companies and brands, ZTX is poised to launch an unparalleled virtual experience that captivates the market like few other projects.

# Identity

Self-Expression has limitless possibilities in ZTX

In ZTX, your digital identity is only limited by your imagination.

The ZTX Avatar Builder is a highly customizable app that lets anyone create Avatars to use in ZTX and across social platforms. The Avatar Builder is already one of the most robust web3 Avatar creators and will allow even more customization in the future. It will be integrated into the core gameplay and ZTX experience. The list of features and wearables will continue to grow, with an expanding ecosystem of creator and partner-generated wearables. There are no rules on what your Avatar looks like, what style of clothes they wear, and every detail in between.

<figure><img src="/files/vpZ5ka6X3tmSH7r48OSt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is what ZTX is all about; creativity, ownership, and a living web3 ecosystem built on freedom. Be exactly who you want to be, either a collector, a clothing designer, or someone who has the coolest look ever imagined – it’s all up to you.


# Experience

ZTX In-Game Experiences

ZTX aims to offer a diverse and r[ich set](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] of experiences to users from all backgrounds.

Initially, ZTX experiences will center around each user's Avatar and the endless possibilities of looks that one can embody. Players will be met with challenges and competitions that task them to make the best possible look they can by using wearables they have earned, unlocked, or purchased. Players can progress through gameplay, compete against others on leaderboards, and build their followers of other players. Creators will be able to create assets that can be acquired by players to help them progress through gameplay.&#x20;

However, this is only the beginning. The ZTX experience offering will grow with each new iteration. In the future, ZTX will offer experiences such as:

* Downtown areas to explore and socialize&#x20;
* Portal games&#x20;
* Community Events&#x20;
* Themed adventures and quests

The initial ZTX gameplay experience sets the foundations for all of these. It provides a never-ending toolkit for users to express themselves while engaging in experiences and presents opportunities to generate income while doing so.

# Your Home in ZTX

Your Home & Land in ZTX: A medium for Self-Expression & Gameplay

While Land and Homes in the metaverse are not novel concepts, ZTX distinguishes itself in the following ways:

* Free - everyone who enters ZTX will be given their own plot of land and a base home when they start their journey.
* No map - ZTX will not have a predefined map with a finite amount of land. This approach is too limiting and induces an unhealthy level of speculation that leads to less organic user-driven development. Instead, ZTX will be comprised of unlimited user-owned lands & community-owned Districts.
* Tool - the base home unlocks core features of ZTX gameplay, which in turn enables users to earn and express themselves with no barrier to entry.

Additionally, by leveraging ZEPETO’s leading customization tooling, land in ZTX will be effortless and enjoyable to design and decorate.

<figure><img src="/files/CDoUje3BEVIy1oQ2DeG9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**When it comes to what ZTX Land offers:**

**Gameplay** - Simply owning a free starter home unlocks the ability to plant, harvest, extract, and buy materials that can be used to craft assets, or can be sold for gold. It is the economic engine empowering users to create and earn. Please see the Gameplay section for more details.

**Medium of Self-Expression** - Due to its customizable nature, land is a creative medium for users to express themselves. Whether it’s choosing a Genesis home that fits your style, or decorating your land to be the gathering spot for your friends & community, your land is a new way for you to expand on your digital identity.

**Immersive Social Experience** - Users can explore their own land and the inside of their homes with their avatars. In future iterations, they will have the ability to invite friends over to explore their land and even host events.


# Creators

Empowering Creators to build, distribute, and generate revenue

ZTX aims to empower creators of all levels to conceive and craft ZTX assets, referred to as user-generated assets (UGAs). These UGAs will cover a broad range of items and features, from wearables and placeable assets to storefronts and portal games. ZTX is committed to providing a user-friendly experience for both beginners and experienced creators, fostering an environment where UGAs seamlessly integrate into ZTX gameplay and reward their creators. In ZTX, creators will easily create, distribute, and earn, establishing a decentralized, self-sustaining ecosystem rich in new content, innovative gameplay, and distinctive experiences.<br>

# Genesis Homes

The Genesis Home Collection: Expanded utility, gameplay, and value

The ZTX Genesis Home Mint is the first-ever NFT collection to be released by ZTX.&#x20;

The collection consists of 4,000 unique 3D-rendered District Home NFTs. Each one is an immersive in-game asset that grants holders access to one of the four Districts within ZTX.

#### Why are they called 'District Homes'?&#x20;

There are 8 trait categories for the Genesis Homes, with one of the most important being the District trait. This trait connects the home to on of the four ZTX Districts and gives the owner access to that District’s governance and perks. District Homes are different than base homes in multiple ways, including the fact that base homes will never have a District Trait.

#### What is the utility?&#x20;

These are not your average NFTs...&#x20;

* **Immersive & Useable** — each NFT will be actually usable inside ZTX, serving as your home in the metaverse. You will be able to enter the home and customize it using the decorator mode.
* **Boosts to Gameplay** — While all land and Homes are integral parts of gameplay, Genesis District Homes will offer boosted perks for the owners. Such examples could include faster harvesting times and more options to craft from. Additionally, by owning more Homes you have more opportunities to participate in gameplay since each home is it’s own plot of land.
* **Access to Districts** — In the future, you will gain access to one of the four Districts. You will be able to propose and vote on ideas that impact the District and it’s treasury.&#x20;

*Example: Let’s imagine you mint a Games District Home, or maybe buy it on the secondary. As a Games District Homeowner, you become a DAO member of the Games District. You might propose a new game to be added to the District experiences. If your proposal is approved, the DAO can vote to hire a designer and a game developer. Once launched, your District can make the experience gated for all ZTX players when they enter the game. As more ZTX players play your game, your DAO can choose to recognize your idea and provide you with a gift, which you can split between all of the members, and keep the rest for further project funding development. OG Community — Join the community of the earliest ZTX supporters (the OGs) with rewards unlocking as ZTX grows, such as access to exclusive drops, beta launches, and channels. Become one of the first settlers.*

* **Unique 3D Collectible** — Last but not least, each District Home will be one-of-a-kind, bespoke 3D-modeled artwork tradable on secondaries. The Genesis traits will be unique, making these early Homes a prized collectible as ZTX develops. The Genesis Home Collection will continuously bring value to its holders over time, unlocking new possibilities, gameplay advancements, rewards, and more!&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/TrfifCsg3iijLJGpKz4b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Where can I buy a Genesis Home?

The ZTX Genesis Homes mint SOLD OUT on OpenSea and is now tradable on secondary marketplaces.

[**Browse and purchase from the ZTX Genesis Collection here** ](https://opensea.io/collection/ztx-genesis-homes)


# Districts

Districts are self-governing communities within ZTX

ZTX introduces the concept of Districts.

ZTX is divided into Districts, which are like communities. To join a District, a user needs to own at least one home within that District. Each District has its own unique style that complements the experiences it offers. The development and direction of a district are determined by its members.

#### Initially, we will have 4 Districts:&#x20;

* Games&#x20;
* Arts&#x20;
* Financial&#x20;
* Fashion&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/xmTMTNcGhrlloVmZf0gL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Community-Oriented Building**&#x20;

Districts empower communities to collaborate in building, playing, and earning. Each District manages its treasury, enabling members to propose and vote on fund allocations. Enhancing the Downtown areas of Districts through appealing experiences and aesthetics can draw in more users and generate rewards for the treasury.

Rewards can be generated through multiple avenues, such as:&#x20;

* **District Builds** - Structures and experiences associated with the District DAO that have economic output experiences. Each subDAO can build, commission, and host experiences like portal games, activities, or events and benefit from the rewards earned.&#x20;
* **District Advertisement** - Virtual billboards and branded facades/storefronts that are the subject of bids from brands, individuals, and DAOs.


# Roadmap

# $ZTX

Introducing the $ZTX token

<figure><img src="/files/oqSwPs1yoAHr3npZ25r2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **ZTX token ($ZTX**) is the native token of ZTX, enabling protocol level governance and underpinning the ZTX ecosystem as its quote currency.&#x20;

$ZTX encompasses a wide range of functions designed to support this vibrant ecosystem. The token serves three primary categories of use: G**overnance**, **purchasing**, and **in-game benefits**.

**Token Functions**\
ZTX employs a token buyback program that is funded by a portion of the platform’s revenue.

The token buyback program is designed to drive value to the ZTX ecosystem through one of the below activities:

* *Token Buyback* & *Burn* – a portion of the repurchased $ZTX can be permanently destroyed via token burning.  This immediately reduces the total supply of $ZTX.&#x20;
* *Incentive Pool* – a portion of the repurchased $ZTX is used to replenish the Play Rewards. At scale, this would create a self-sustaining ecosystem for ZTX.
* *Treasury* – a portion of the repurchased $ZTX is used to fund the Treasury. The Treasury funds may be used for operations, marketing, or other platform expenses.

**Supply, Distribution, Emissions**\
$ZTX’s total supply will be fixed at 10,000,000,000, with the TGE slated for October 16th, 2023.

# Getting Started

Starting your ZTX journey

Ready to dive into ZTX? Begin by designing your Avatar in the [Avatar Builder](https://ztx.io/avatar), where you can choose how your Avatar appears. Functions include tailoring their appearance, including facial features, body type, and wearables (clothing). Once you’ve created your Avatar, you're ready to enter your land. Feel free to revisit the Avatar Builder for modifications anytime.

Everything you do in ZTX whether it’s socializing with friends, decorating your land or home, harvesting materials, or crafting revolves around your Avatar, so be creative and set yourself apart with your own unique look!&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/qn3SglYj5H4oh4rm0vgM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Movement and Camera

Exploring ZTX with your Avatar

<figure><img src="/files/Svu3mZTWikGEJoHdu1aa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Moving around and exploring the world starts with the following mouse and keyboard basics. Press `W` or `Up Arrow` to move forward. To move backward, press `S` or `Down Arrow`. To move or strafe left press `A` or `Left Arrow`. To move or strafe right, press `D` or `Right Arrow`. To turn and face in a different direction while moving, move the mouse left or right. To auto run press `\`. To stop auto-running, press any of the movement keys. To toggle between walking and running hit the `T` key.

Change your view of the world by moving the mouse left, right, forward, and backward. Use the mouse to steer your avatar while moving. While standing still, you can look at your avatar from any angle by also moving the mouse. No matter which way you look with the mouse, pressing `W` or the `Up Arrow` will immediately turn you in that direction.

Press `Space` or `Right Control` to Jump. You can rebind all keys in the key binding section of the escape menu, accessed by hitting `Escape` and selecting Key Bindings.

<br>


# Interacting with the World

To interact with objects in the world, move closer to them until you see an interactive prompt. The prompt tells you what type of interaction you can perform and the name of the object. If you do not want to interact with the object, simply move away. Interactions often depend on where the camera points or where your avatar stands.

<figure><img src="/files/ibXFPt9mCYDqQlEryV7C" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Many interactive objects have panels associated with them. When a panel opens, you’ll have access to the cursor with your mouse or touchpad to make selections. Hover over interface buttons to see a snapshot of what they can do. Left click to select items which often brings up additional actions you can perform. To close a panel, simply hit `X` in the upper right-hand corner or `Esc`.

You can access many game features in the Sidebar Menu, accessed by unlocking the mouse with the `Middle Mouse Button` or the `Left Control Key`. Here you’ll find a number of options like Inventory, Home Decorator Mode, the Harvest Menu, the Avatar Builder, and more.

Lastly, you can access game options for key bindings, audio, graphics, and camera settings in the Escape Menu, accessed by the `Escape Key`.

<br>


# Harvesting - Planting, Extracting, Harvesting

Plant, Grow, Extract, Harvest, Collect.

Your land is where all your resources are generated. Every craftable item in the Fusion Forge has a recipe with ingredients, which includes organics and/or minerals. Organics are plants and trees and can only be planted at your orchard. Minerals are metals, ores, industrial resources, and Dark Matter and can only be acquired from the mineral extractor.

<figure><img src="/files/OPHt6bqPztIupZ4KrCFv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

For organics, select Harvest from the Sidebar Menu and select the Organic you wish to plant. Once selected, the camera will pan automatically to your orchard where you select which of the 4 plots to plant on. Organics take time as they go through the different growth stages. They all begin as a sapling and then grow to different sizes. &#x20;

When your organic is at the adult stage, they are ready for harvest. To harvest your organic simply approach it, and an interactive prompt appears: **\[E] USE**.  Once harvested, all the resources go to the resources tab of your inventory.

For minerals, once the mineral extractor has completed its extracting job, you can unload the collected materials. All the resources go to the resources tab of your inventory. The Mineral Extractor can only extract one job at a time, so plan out the resources you need.

<figure><img src="/files/D2KNuGwm3hIQQX454FPo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Both Organics and Minerals have three quality tiers - Common, Rare, and Legendary. When harvesting Organics or unloading Minerals from your Mineral Extractor, there is a % chance you will get a Rare or Legendary resource. You can see the % chance to get these different tiers of materials at three locations, the Harvest Menu, at an Organic itself while it is growing, and at the Mineral Extractor's Mineral Extraction screen.

<figure><img src="/files/fTWYkYjxcxzeaDmqISYX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Expedite Actions

Lastly, you can choose to execute the Skip Timers and Fast Extract, or Fast Harvest, functions. Skip Timers will enable you to pay $ZTX to finish a growth or extracting cycle to completion. Fast Extract, and Fast Harvest, will completely skip that cycle and grant you the selected resource immediately. An important aspect about Fast Harvest & Fast Extract, is that you can execute these actions even if you already have all 4 organic plots occupied, and if you already have an ongoing mineral extraction job. <br>


# Crafting

How to craft your ZTX possessions

Crafting is the key to expressing yourself and it all begins at the Fusion Forge, located in your home. You can create wearables, furniture, and decor items by simply providing the necessary resources and currencies (gold or $ZTX or a combination of both depending on the item) and hitting `Start Job`. The Fusion Forge will break down all the resources into core molecular elements and reknit them together into a beautiful, finished item – but this takes time.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/FfBorLh7ZfYjE4waYO9c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To get started, look through all the preloaded recipes in the Fusion Forge to see what resources are needed. This will help you plan how to use your land as you decide what plant is in your orchard and what minerals to extract at your extractor.

<figure><img src="/files/ouCL5ITctSzPlWoXXdXw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Keep in mind, each item crafted at the Fusion Forge becomes an NFT, granting you ownership. Once a crafting job begins, you can monitor the remaining time. Upon completion, head back to the Fusion Forge to claim your crafted item.

Placeable items appear in the Placeable section of the left Sidebar Menu.

Wearables appear in the Wearables section of the left Sidebar Menu.

Capsules appear in the Consumables section of the left Sidebar Menu.

You can buy or sell resources for gold using the Trade System on the left Sidebar Menu. It's useful when you need specific resources quickly and don't want to wait for a full crafting cycle. It's also a way to accumulate gold. Initially, values are fixed, but future updates will introduce player-to-player trading.


# Home Decorator

Having your own home in ZTX is fantastic because you can personalize its décor. In the initial phases, you'll get a glimpse of our wide range of planned items, including furniture and interactive objects. Use the items you craft at the Fusion Forge with the Home Decorator to adorn both the interior and exterior of your home and land. Simply click on the icon at the bottom of the Sidebar Menu to access it.

Left-click to select a furniture item in the world and move it around. You can also right-click to rotate a furniture item in place. If you have a furniture item in your inventory, you can select and place it into the world as well. To remove an item and put it back in your inventory, hit delete while the item is selected. To cancel an item selection, hit the `Escape Key`.

<figure><img src="/files/xmog5hMK6EhWi7pKd5RR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<br>


# Land

Land is free in ZTX. It is your vessel for creation & expression.

Your land in ZTX is an integral part of your world and ecosystem. You can decorate it using the Home Decorator with items you've crafted, and even set goals for your creations. It's not just about aesthetics and enjoyment—your land is the starting point for your creative journey. You have designated areas like the orchard for planting organics, and futuristic technology for mineral extraction. All the resources you require come from your land.

<figure><img src="/files/fJYMPigvR8DdUHDr9Jyg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Arcadia

Arcadia is an explorable land within ZTX that exists outside of any individual player's owned land. This is an ever-evolving area of ZTX that will continue to grow with new games, activities, explorable areas, social interactions, and more!

Players can travel to Arcadia from any of their homes via the transportation portal. Players can also travel back to any of their owned lands via the transportation portals that exist in Arcadia.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/oDRGE4K7clZPoeueeoXR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Arcadia will be constantly evolving with new experiences to engage in. Some of these experiences are below.

#### Treasure Track

In Treasure Track, players have a limited time to explore the areas of Arcadia for treasure chests that are filled with rewards. Be sure to listen for clues as you get closer to hidden treasures. If within proximity of a treasure chest, a prompt will appear to open the treasure and reveal the prize within.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/ke2xo3DLDtZcebItPMi3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **Bank Bucket**

In Bank Bucket, players will have a limited number of shots to shoot the basketball into the Basketball Hoop. This activity is also time limited, so be sure to keep up a good pace when shooting the available shots. As a basket is made, the basketball hoop will move faster, increasing the difficulty of each subsequent shot. As players make baskets, they will be notified of the rewards they earn.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/2dn9WkU2G08BLqIuAf32" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Moon Shot

In Moon Shot, players will be transported to a golf pad, where they will get a limited number of golf balls to hit various targets in the sky. Each target will be associated with a reward, so be sure to aim wisely at the reward you are after. Players will need to use proper aim and proper swing speed to control the trajectory of the golf ball. This activity is also time limited, so be sure to keep a good pace when hitting the available golf balls. As players hit targets, they will be notified of the rewards they earn.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/1FQZPUlKm9DUKPuq95Hf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Arcadia is an area that will continue to grow and evolve with new rewards, social interactions, competitions, areas to discover, and more!&#x20;


# Game Economy

In ZTX, the economy thrives on your creations and home decor choices. You can express yourself and reach your goals through crafting and trading. Additionally, ZTX utilizes various currencies for crafting items and expediting processes.


# Core Loop

Collect, Craft, Use.

The release of ZTX Beta is primarily focused around self-expression and the decoration of your own home, land, and avatar. To do so, you first have to craft items to place on your land by using organics & minerals, also known as Crafting Materials. Crafting materials are off-chain resources that you can grow and extract from your land in the designated spots behind your house.

In your crafting forge, located within your house, you can find an array of recipes you can craft items with. Each recipe has it’s own set of requirements that have to be fulfilled before continuing to craft the item.

Besides crafting materials, another requirement to craft is the payment of a crafting fee. Most crafting fees are paid in Gold, the soft currency in ZTX. Earn Gold by collecting and selling crafting materials via the in-game Trade System. Other recipes require you to pay the crafting fee in $ZTX, the on-chain token of ZTX.

<figure><img src="/files/tMc9MJXZfLJbRbVjO8rz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Currencies

In ZTX, there are several ways of measuring the value of an item or an action. While soft currency (Gold) and hard currency ($ZTX) are the obvious ways to pay for something, the time you put into crafting and creating also plays an important role. In ZTX, every item can be crafted and achieved with enough patience.

<figure><img src="/files/2Bs2wGymH9rQ6N8FZOKN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Gold

Gold is the soft currency of ZTX. You can earn it by collecting crafting materials and trading them from the Trade System.

More common recipes ask for Gold as a crafting fee.


# $ZTX

In-game, the $ZTX Token is used in multiple cases:

* Speed up the time it takes for crafting materials to finish their respective jobs, through the options of Skip Timer, Fast Extract & Fast Harvest.
* Speed up the time it takes for recipes to be fully crafted, through the option of Skip Timer
* Pay crafting fees for high-end recipes

$ZTX can be acquired through several different methods:

* Purchasing on centralized & decentralized exchanges
* Crafting of $ZTX Capsules

With future updates to ZTX, there will be more use cases for $ZTX, paving the way for it to become the currency for ZTX.


# Trade System

Crafting materials can be sold for a pre-defined amount of Gold within the trade system. This way, you are able to acquire more Gold to pay for the crafting fees of the recipes you would like to create.

You are also able to purchase crafting materials in the same trade system for a pre-defined value per material type and quality tier. Be aware that purchasing materials will always cost more Gold than what the material is selling for.

<figure><img src="/files/ad8q1xXSU9iAQBbXXufh" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Currently, the trade system allows you to trade to the system, and a community driven trade option will be added to ZTX at a later point.


# Crafting Recipes

Crafting recipes are the way for you to create items that can be used to decorate your home or land. The items created as an outcome from recipes are NFTs and will be sent to your wallet/inventory once you have finished completing a recipe and claiming the item. Remember, you will need to claim your finished items before you are able to start a new crafting job.

Each recipe comes with a set of requirements that have to be fulfilled before the crafting job is started. These requirements can be:

* Specific crafting materials in different quality tiers and quantities
* Gold (Soft Currency)
* $ZTX (Token)
* Crafting Time

<figure><img src="/files/Kmbl0gRj4MK9W3JeKWRK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Seasons

Seasons in ZTX are time limited periods with exclusive content. During Season 1, which is planned to run for 3 months, new item recipes will be added to all users’ crafting forges at regular intervals.

<figure><img src="/files/tZx3uYgU1GasFHNAkc0n" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Season 1

Seasons in ZTX are time-limited events that mark the addition of new content to the game.

Stay tuned to our Twitter for more info on Season 1.


# Dark Matter

Dark Matter is a crafting material exclusively used to craft Capsules. Dark Matter will be disabled for now. All the Dark Matter already in the player’s inventory will remain there and the Dark Matter that was being extracted before the Beta was paused will be available to claim.

<figure><img src="/files/y9NNpPAB3Z5WpHaUPsbj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

While there won't be new Dark Matter farming for now, but it will be resumed in the future.


# $ZTX Capsules

Capsules are special items users can craft via their crafting forge. These only exist in limited supply and might not last until the end of Season 1. While Capsules require a special material, Dark Matter, to be crafted, they are also unlike any other item in ZTX. Capsules cannot be placed in your home or on the land, instead they can be exchanged for $ZTX tokens.

There are several different tiers of capsules, ranging from fairly easy to craft to more time-consuming and scaling in value. To see the amount of $ZTX in each tier of Capsule, refer to the crafting forge and the Capsule's recipe.&#x20;

Users who craft Capsules and have them in their inventory will be able to click the Capsule and then “Exchange to $ZTX.” They will be taken to the Player Profile within [ztx.io](http://ztx.io/) website to complete the transaction. Users will need to have ETH for transaction fees to successfully claim the $ZTX tokens. Users will also need to ensure they log into the same smart account on the web as they did in-game, using the same wallet from Metamask. Once the capsule is traded in, the associated capsule will be removed from a user's inventory an the associated amount of $ZTX will be deposited into their wallet.&#x20;

#### Genesis Capsules

Genesis Homeowners will soon have the exclusive ability to craft **Genesis Capsules** - which contain a higher amount of $ZTX.&#x20;

Genesis Capsules can only be crafted if two additional requirements are true:

* You possess Genesis Dark Matter, a material that can only be collected via a mineral extractor on the land of a Genesis Home.
* Crafting can only happen if you use a crafting forge within a Genesis Home.


# Social

Complementing every aspect of ZTX with rich social features

As **one of the core pillars of ZTX**, social integrations will be integrated into all aspects of gameplay and the ever-expanding set of experiences.&#x20;

In future iterations of ZTX, we will introduce features that let users:

* Add Friends&#x20;
* Invite friends to an experience/game&#x20;
* Chat with friends and other players

#### The social integrations of ZTX will focus on:

1. Enabling ZTX users to develop new connections and relationships with like-minded individuals
2. Strengthening and deepening  already existing connections&#x20;

Building upon the lists above, some examples of how social features will be integrated into ZTX experiences and gameplay include:&#x20;

* Friends list - Users can manage a friends list. Friends will be able to chat with one another in addition to inviting them to join in the current experience, such as exploring a District's downtown area or portal game.&#x20;
* Hosting - Users will be able to invite friends over to their property to hang out. All of the visiting users can chat with each other and experience activities like swimming in the pool or having a party.&#x20;
* Events - A great way to meet similar-minded users, events in each District will have social features that empower users to become friends
* Chat - In open-world areas like Downtowns, users can communicate with other players in that instance. It will be up to users if they want to enable this feature and strict security measures will be taken.
