The DeFi in MyDefiPet - Does Your Pet Earn You Crypto? Mine does.

**17 September 2021, Somewhere in the Metaverse - UplandDood (@Just1Dood)** A few days back, I'd written about an alternative game similar to Axie that I've started playing. I'd started playing this game on 5 September, which means I've been playing it for almost two weeks now. https://read.cash/@Just1dood/my-axie-alternative-lets-go-d800bb82 Getting Started Ever since I started, I have been playing it on a daily basis. Initially, it was to get the proper setup going. These initial steps involve: Buying an egg in the in-game **Shop**

Putting the egg in the **Incubator**

Hatching the egg in the **Incubator**

Placing the newborn pet in the complimentary **Cage** ( you can buy better ones from the **Shop**)

From then on, it's mostly **Feeding** the pet to level up

That's pretty much the gist of what's needed to get started. And until a few days ago, most of my time was spent on planting, feeding, and leveling up the pet. If you like, you can continue to purchase a few more eggs to hatch. My advice is to get a feel for the game before you do so. You need to know how to manage your resources and your pet's growth rate. It's a resource (planting & feeding) vs time (how fast you can level up your pet & also how much you can afford for better facilities) challenge. The DeFi Feature Launched As I have said, that was what I have been doing and it was the few things I was able to do in the game. Until **14 September**, that is. On that date, the **DeFi feature** in the game was put into motion. Players could now send their pets on a Hunt (i.e. Stake their pets). **The Hunting (Staking)** period is 30 days. The in-game Hunting Rules were as follows: Pet sent to Hunt will collect Food & DPET. Pets sent to Hunt will be locked for a duration of 30 days. And during this period, the pet will not be able to perform any activities. Recall of Pets sent to Hunt will not be possible until after the Hunting period of 30 days is over. Option to harvest DPET collected by Pets on Hunt anytime. Only able to send a maximum of 3 pets to the hunt

I had started with 2 pets **Hunting** on this feature's launch date. After sending these 2 pets, I've decided I have wanted to send another. Therefore, I ended up purchasing one more pet to send for **Hunting**. Altogether, I'd sent 3 pets in total to Hunt (Stake). Hunting Results As of the time of writing, I have accumulated a substantial amount of Food. Though I have not compared it to the normal harvesting, I believe it is much more than normal and it contributes towards feeding other pets still in Cages. I couldn't quantify the amount of Food collected during the Hunt as there was no in-game record of it. During this same period, my 3 pets have collected a total of **0.21053 DPET**. I'd just checked the value of a $DPET. It's trading at **$2.13 each**. Not much to shout about but these 3 pets are earning me something.

Concluding Thoughts I guestimate that at the end of the Staking period, I will at most get 2 DPETs. Not enough to buy an Egg. That is not the point at the moment. I'm looking at the longer-term for this game. I look forward to other features as they become available.

Meanwhile, though it is repetitive, I'm still enjoying playing the game. It is still new and the discovery process is thus far enjoyable. If this game does take off, I do believe that these pets will be worth money, especially if the DPET value increases. I for one hope that it will be as popular, if not more than Axie Infinity. As cliched as it is, time will tell. I'm in no hurry as my Pets are out there making me money as we speak. Thank you for reading. If you want a guide on how to get started, do let me know. I'll put a brief one together. Take care and stay safe. **#BetterSeptember** https://read.cash/search?q=%23BetterSeptember *Disclaimer: This is* ***Not Financial Advice****.* ***Do Your Own Research****.*
