What is Puffverse?

Puffverse is an expansive gaming ecosystem that brings together various games and activities within a unified universe. The core element of Puffverse is its unique NFT characters called Puffs, which players can collect, trade, and use across different games. Each Puff is an NFT, ensuring its uniqueness and providing players with true ownership of their in-game assets. The game's ecosystem is powered by the Ronin network, offering a play-to-earn model where players can earn rewards through various in-game activities.

Puff NFTs and Free Chances

Puff NFTs play a critical role in Preseason 4. Each NFT offers a limited number of Free Chances to participate in the League. These chances vary based on the NFT collection, and for most collections, Free Chances reset each season.

However, Puff General NFTs maintain their Free Chances across seasons without reset. For players who exhaust their Free Chances, they can buy additional Passes (2 USDC each) to continue participating in the League. Regardless of Free Chances or Passes, players must own at least one Puff NFT to join.

PuffGo Referral Rewards

Preseason 4 encourages existing players, or "OG Puffs," to invite new users to join the game. Both the inviter and the new players can earn rewards:

• New Users who participate in at least one League match after registration will receive 10 IGO Points and 6,000 Coins. If they achieve Silver rank within three days, they can earn an additional 20 IGO Points.
• OG Puffs will earn 5 IGO Points for each new player they invite, plus a share of a 2,000 USDC Prize Pool, depending on the number of new users invited.

There is also a cap of 250,000 IGO Points available for distribution. Both OG Puffs and new players must verify their participation through official forms to claim rewards.

Bug Bounty Program and Tips

During Preseason 4, players can contribute to improving the gaming experience by reporting bugs or issues they encounter in PuffGo or PuffTown. Verified bug reports will be rewarded with 20 IGO Points, promoting a more robust and bug-free Puffverse. Consistency is crucial in Preseason 4.

To avoid losing rank, especially for players ranked Amber or higher, it’s essential to participate regularly.  Missing five consecutive days could lead to a reduction in rank stars, negatively impacting your leaderboard position. Players can either continuously Skill to Earn through individual performance or work in teams to improve their ranks and earn more substantial rewards.
