We are excited to announce how Protens can be converted to UNIO at and following our token generation event!

Protens are the energy source of the Unioverse. You, the faithful, have been diligently gathering them going all the way back to our collectibles system. Protens have and will always be collected for free, with active engagement being the fastest way to earn them. Play Hoverdrome, Proving Grounds and other Unioverse games to earn more. 

UNIO, on the other hand, is the POWER currency of the Unioverse. Players will hoard UNIO, and gather into clans and factions, wielding their combined power to take over planets and other locations throughout the Unioverse.

How do you get UNIO? There are several ways, but chief among them are the Nexus Events. Players and owners will always be the most valued contributors to the Unioverse, and Nexus Events will happen throughout the year providing the opportunity to exchange carefully earned Protens into UNIO. 

Community members will visit our website during the Nexus Event and choose how many Protens to convert to UNIO. After the event concludes, users will then visit a partner site to redeem the total UNIO they chose to convert during the event, paying only gas for the blockchain transaction. Separating this into two collection phases ensures we don’t create a gas spike on the network. All community collected UNIO will be on Base. 

Here’s how a Nexus Events works:

Illustrative purposes only, not accurate or final. 

Note the following:

• There is a total allocation of UNIO for each Nexus Event, taken from the community rewards allocation. The event concludes when there are no more UNIO to claim at this event, or after 12 hours, whichever comes first. Those who missed out will need to wait until the next Nexus Event. 
• Users can click on any number of offers shown, but each offer only once. 
• Each offer is a progressively worse conversion ratio.
• Some offers may require a status to unlock. This status will be announced prior to the event, but for example might require holding an NFT, or FAME level, or anything else that active community participants are likely to have completed. 
• Bonuses to the conversion rate can be activated by owning Epic and Legendary  Unioverse Heroes minted before September 1, 2024.

Conversion offers will get better at subsequent Nexus events, with the following benefits over the first 6 months:

Finally, here is a sneak peek of how we envision the relationship between Protens, UNIO and two derived values in the Unioverse: Power and Control.

It is important to note that some Unioverse purchases and upgrades will require significant amounts of Protens. Since these are not transferable between accounts and there is no way to convert UNIO to Protens, only dedicated community members will be able to make these purchases. You should not assume that it’s a good idea to convert all your Protens to UNIO.

These concepts will be explained further with the upcoming launch of the Unioverse forums, so sign up today to stay informed.

All plans are subject to change based on development progress and community feedback.
