About Providence

In early access, Providence will introduce players to two of the three main world types planned for the full game. The first, Homestead, will act as a player’s central base where they can build structures, craft items, and prepare gear. This area provides the foundation for progression, allowing players to strengthen their loadouts in preparation for expeditions into the second world type, known as Slipworlds.

These areas are unstable and time-limited environments that contain valuable resources and hostile creatures. Players must enter these zones, secure materials, and successfully extract them before the area collapses. The gameplay in Slipworlds includes both player versus environment and player versus player encounters, creating a competitive dynamic as multiple players compete to gather and extract the same resources.

Web3 Integration and Blockchain Features

Providence incorporates web3 elements to power its in-game economy, but interaction with blockchain technology is not required to enjoy the game. Players can participate in the game without needing to connect a crypto wallet or possess any prior knowledge of blockchain systems. All in-game items and assets are managed on-chain through an Avalanche subnet, but the system is designed to function seamlessly, with the option to engage further through the game’s own in-game wallet.

This wallet can also be accessed externally, though use of it remains optional. The game’s blockchain integration enables several features for players who choose to interact with its web3 components. These include asset ownership, item trading, and additional utilities such as staking, voting on game development changes, participation in community funding, and access to exclusive events and early builds.

The ecosystem is supported by a native token, $PRV, which does not yet have a set token generation event date. Players holding this token will be able to use it for in-game upgrades, cosmetic customization, and upkeep of community-driven locations known as Community Outposts. According to the developers, these upgrades are intended to personalize gameplay rather than offer significant advantages over others.
