Chainers - Farming For Digital Gold

Gaming has been a part of my life since I can remember. I remember sitting in my room and staring at my cube TV playing Twisted Metal. It is wild to think that was only 29 years ago. A lot has changed since back then. Gaming has taken on a whole new form.   
 
We have seen new types of games created, we have seen devices come and go, and we have seen a whole new world of gaming be born. In this article we are going to go over the history of gaming and how it has evolved over the years. We are also going to cover a game called Chainers. Chainers uses the POL blockchain to allow users to earn from their attention and time.   

 
Now not all platforms deserve a HattyHats limelight, but Chainers has caught my attention since the first time I came across it.  The characters are cool, the game is fun, and it has the potential to be huge. The ability to earn just from playing a game and how these games are shaping what the future of gaming is going to look like. Where the players earn from playing and actually own their digital assets. So, as I always say, sit back grab a cup of tea and let's dive deep into the platform known as Chainers. 
 

The History of Gaming 

 
Video games were created roughly 60 years ago. It all started when William Higinbotham created a game called “Tennis for Two” in 1958. The game was first shown on a oscilloscope which is pretty crazy. An oscilloscope is normally used to collect information on electrical signals. He thought the average person was not interested in static exhibits, so he decided to create something everyone could enjoy and understand.

Not only did William create the first video game but he was also one of the people who developed the first nuclear bomb. Isn't that just crazy to think about. The man created something for the people to enjoy and then also created something that could take out a whole city and could be seen from 200 miles away! What a strange world we live in.

We did not see an actual game console created until the early 1970’s when a console called Magnavox Odyssey was created in 1972 by Ralph H. Baer. This platform used two rectangular controllers with dials on them, no sound, and had 12 built-in games on it.  
 
There have been many systems over the years and gaming as a whole has evolved like we could never imagine. From huge open world games with almost life-like graphics to being in a 3D virtual worlds using virtual reality. Gaming is evolving fast.   
 
I think blockchain technology is creating the next evolution in gaming. To be honest I think blockchain technology is changing the entire world around us and allowing the physical and the digital worlds to become one.   
 
There are more well-known games such as Decentraland, Axie Infinity, Splinterlands, and a fairly new one I have found called Pixels. Now Pixels is by far one of my favorite games. I plan on writing about this game in a future article but if you get a chance, I suggest checking it out. It is one of the best blockchain games I have come across. It takes a little while to get used to and learn how everything works but it is worth it. It is a fun game and allows you to earn free Crypto daily.   
 
I have recently come across another fairly new blockchain game called Chainers. Chainers is a free to play blockchain farming game that allows you to earn POL (formally known as MATIC). This is a pretty interesting game and I am excited to do a deep dive into it and share it with everyone. So as I always say sit back grab a cup and tea and lets explore our latest Web3 project.  
 
Disclaimer: Nothing I say is financial advice. This is strictly just my thoughts, beliefs, and my love of sharing interesting projects. It is always a good idea to do your own research. I will never ask you to invest in anything. Blockchain is allowing us to earn from our time and attention. What I am doing is sharing the platforms I find that are interesting and I think are worth checking out. I never suggest investing money but I will always suggest investing your time.
  

What is Chainers? 

 
Chainers is one of the newest projects I have covered. It was created April of this year (2024), by Matvii Diadkov.  Chainers uses the Polygon Blockchain. This allows fast and cheap transactions, which is nice when it comes to games. To be honest I would love to see them switch over to RON someday, but I am sure that is hard to do.  
 
So, what is Chainers? Chainers is a Web3 game built on the Polygon Network. It allows players the chance to own and trade (trading and selling coming soon hopefully) unique NFTs. Each player creates a digital avatar and builds and manages a farm. You can then sell the crops you farm for in-game currency called FRI or you can exchange for POL and withdraw when you reach the minimum. I am getting ahead of myself though.  
 
The main part of Chainers is a farming simulator game where you farm crops and then sell your crops for Crypto. What is cool about Chainers is everyone who starts gets to start for free. You get a free piece of land to grow and can start earning for free. Also, every day you get free seeds and then can grow those seeds to grow and sell crops. Now each platform has their pros and their cons. Chainers is not different. It is a great game but also has its fair share of cons you need to know about before you start playing.  
 
So, as I always say, grab a cup of tea, sit back, and get ready to dive deep into the platform known as Chainers. In this article we are going to go over the history of Chainers, how you play, how you earn, how you withdraw, and the pros and cons of this project. You can also watch the video version of this article by clicking here or scrolling up to the video above. 
 

How to Play 

 
 Chainers is an easy game to play. It might be easy to play but there is a lot to this game. Chainers is a farming simulator game where you grow crops, feed animals, play mini games, and can have multiple avatars where each piece of clothing is a NFT that is worth Crypto. Chainers uses the Polygon Blockchain for their game. This allows fast, cheap, and frictionless transactions. Their native token is called FRI. FRI is an in-game currency so you can use your FRI in the game for things such as more seeds, land, animals, clothes, and more. There is a lot going on with this game, so I am going to do my best to explain how it all works.  
 
You can earn POL, FRI, and CFB. If you are reading this, I am sure you are already acquainted with POL but I am going to explain what each one is below and what each one is used for in the game.  

POL 
POL is the Cryptocurrency for the Polygon Network. It is one of the more well known blockchains.  

FRI 
FRI is the native token for the Chainers game. It is used for in game merchandise such as plots of land, avatar NFT clothes, seeds, and other growing assets to help you earn more in the game. You can not withdraw your FRI but you can use it to grow in the game which in turn earns you more. 
 
CFB 
Ok so I am not 100% sure what these are for but from what I have found out by playing the game is that they can be used for in game items and also they are known as fidelity bonds which allow early investors of the $CHU token to be able to get the tokens they invested in when the platform started. Now I am not totally sure about this so it is important to do your own research.
 

Mini Games 

 One of the coolest things I think about Chainers is their built-in mini games. So technically the farming is considered a game, so it is in the game section. Right now, they only have one other mini game to play called Chainers Dreams. They also have coming soon section which we will go over at the end of this section. Since we already know a good amount about the farming game, we are going to focus on Chainers Dreams.   
 
 
Chainers Dreams is a shooter game where you must shoot as many bad guys as possible and collect the little FRI packs they drop. Each time you play and collect the minimum amount you need to win you have the chance of winning some pretty sweet prizes.  
 
 
So far I have won some pretty sweet Chainers gear and also a couple hundred FRI. I am waiting to win the 1,000 FRI prize. Now you can only play this game once a day for free. If you want to play more, you will need to pay 15 FRI per game.  
 
 
There are also two games that are coming soon which I am excited about. Now I do not have too much information about these upcoming games but if they are anything like Chainers Dreams then I am excited to check them out. 
 
 

How to Earn  

Earning on Chainers is easy. The way to earn is by growing crops. I believe that in the future there will be more ways and you will be able to buy and sell avatar gear but I am not 100% sure.  
 
The more crops you get and sell the more of the prize pool you end up getting every day. So, by staying on top of your crops and selling them for POL you will start earning a little every day and will be able to withdraw before you know it. Now I suggest not selling everything for POL. It is a good idea to earn POL, FRI, and CFB because you can use your FRI and CFB to upgrade and grow your farm. The bigger your farm is and the more crops you grow then the bigger amounts of the prize pool you will get. 

I Have found that the best way to earn while also growing is to invest majority of your crops into POL and then smaller crops into FRI and CFB. Since you can use all three to invest in more farming gear to grow your farm I try to get at least a little of each one. I use FRI and CFB to upgrade my land and POL to withdraw every so often. This way of playing has been working for me but it might not work for you. I suggest playing the game and seeing what you think the best strategy of playing is and share it in the comments. I am always trying to grow and learn.
 
 

How to Withdraw 

 
 In this section we will be going over how to withdraw from the Chainers game. One of the main things you must remember is to use a wallet that supports the Polygon Network. You can use wallets such as Metamask and Phantom. It is always a clever idea to do your own research and see which wallet fits your specific needs. I have found that Metamask is a little more difficult to understand compared to Phantom. At least that is how it felt to me.  
 
The only Crypto you can withdraw is POL and the minimum amount you can withdraw is 10 POL. Now if you are just using this as a free user then it might take you a while to reach the minimum amount for withdraw but do not let that deter you from checking the game out. This is a fairly new Web3 game and the Chainers team has big plans for the future of this game.  
 
 
When you are ready to withdraw, you will need to click your POL balance at the top right of the screen. This will bring you to the withdraw page. Once you are there you will have the choice to withdraw, and this will also be the area you can buy more FRI. 
 
Click your POL wallet and then you will see a withdraw section. You will need to enter the amount you are wanting to withdraw (at least 10 POL) and put your POL address in the address bar. After you fill out all of this and triple check your wallet address you then click the withdraw button. Keep in mind there will probably be a small transaction fee to withdraw. 
 
That is the withdraw process in a nut shell. It cannot get much easier than that. Now that we have covered pretty much everything when it comes to Chainers, I would like to go over some of the pros and cons of this Web3 game.  
  

Pros and Cons  

Every game has its pros and cons and Chainers is no different. Web3 games are new so using these platforms is like rolling the dice. Never invest in any Cryptocurrency platform that you cannot afford to lose. This is why I always say invest your time instead of your money. If the platform fails then at least you learned something and have a better understanding of how things work. 
 
Pros 
Free to play 
Fun 
Early project 
 
Cons 
Takes a while to reach minimum withdraw without investment 

Slow gamely (other than the mini games) 
  
Final Thoughts  
 Web3 is still a new idea and nobody truly knows what the future holds for this new technology. I have a gut feeling though that this technology is not going anywhere and Crypto will eventually be used worldwide and as a real-world currency. I might be wrong but the way things are working right now can not last forever. Printing more and more money is not going to fix anything. It might fix it now but I am more concerned for the future my kids are going to have to deal with from our mistakes and us allowing our government to have to much reach. Every penny our government spends should be able to be viewed and accounted for by the public. I think Blockchain is going to help with these types of things in the years to come. This is why I am all in when it comes to Web3. Something has got to give because if it does not then I feel sorry for the generations to come.
