The Ukiyo Founder's avatar collection delivers enticing utilities and benefits through unique character portraits. Each NFT, when uploaded into the game, provides the player with a distinctive cosmetic set based on its traits, which can be layered on a character's equipment.
Cosmetic customisation, a core feature in MMORPGs, allows players to personalise their characters. This contrasts with the common utility of uploading NFTs into a metaverse, where users are initially restricted to the base traits of their NFTs.
We combined cosmetic customisation in MMORPGs with character-based NFTs by treating our NFTs as cosmetics. Upon uploading a Founder's avatar, players receive a full cosmetic set with pieces based on the NFT traits. They can layer this set on top of their existing equipment and further customise their character with additional cosmetics.
