The highly anticipated integration of the Zerpmon game and The Root Network is here. Let’s take a closer look at this innovative and evolving digital TCG and find out how it’s expanding the reach of XRP-powered gaming through multi-chain support.

Get to know Zerpmon

Zerpmon – a creature-collecting and battling-style digital TCG from Gen3 Games – is now integrated with The Root Network. The core gameplay revolves around building a deck of between one and five Zerpmon in the most strategic way possible. Each Zerpmon has a unique move set and playstyle, with players using Equipment and Trainers to beat the highest-stage Gyms and earn rewards like ZRP and extremely rare Zerpmon collectibles.

A mix of skill-based strategy and player-friendly auto-battling mechanics sets Zerpmon apart from others in the genre. By integrating AI into the development process, the project enables the creation of large volumes of high-quality art for every creature. The game has significant depth around the move sets for Zerpmon, with each one featuring a unique playstyle. The art style is inspired by various aspects of pop culture, creating innovative, nostalgic gameplay accessible to everyone from casual players to seasoned pros.

Game development on the next level  

Zerpmon uses The Root Network to tokenize a new type of game card that evolves over time, with plans well underway to bridge its core reward token, ZRP, onto the network as well. Users from The Root Network can own, buy, and trade Zerpmon assets using a FuturePass. Plus, anyone can play the game from The Root Network, XRP, or both.

"Our team is so grateful to be building on this awesome technology with an incredible community of people behind it." Shen Morincome, Co-Founder and CEO of Gen3 Games.

Building on The Root Network is opening up new opportunities for Zerpmon. It allows them to interact with EVM contracts alongside XRPL-issued assets and gain access to a wide variety of AI-powered game development tooling through Futureverse. They’re also able to take advantage of mentorship and advice from The Root Network team throughout the building process.

A player-focused minting experience

To kick off its integration, Zerpmon has launched a limited-time mint of collectibles on The Root Network accessed through Tradeverse. When players mint a Zerpmon card, they score a free secondary Trainer or Equipment card, providing instant access to all parts of the game. The team is also planning a ROOT and ZRP airdrop for anyone who mints to ensure more comprehensive access to the Zerpmon starter pack with key collectibles and a bag of tokens to spend in the game.

After minting, it's easy to start playing straight away. Players can:  

• Open the Zerpmon web app at app.zerpmon.world.  
• Sign in with FuturePass. If they already play with an XRPL wallet, they can link a FuturePass to their existing Zerpmon account.  
• Visit the Decks tab of the app to add newly minted Zerpmon to their current Decks.  
• Click on the Battle tab and play any of the game modes.  

Different modes feature a range of rewards like Zerpmon XP, Trainers XP, XRP rewards, and ZRP rewards – so trying a few modes is recommended.

A rapid development process, constant iteration, and regular releases of new features and game modes make this project one to watch. The team is excited to have their core platforms fully integrated and operational and plans to continue developing Tradeverse and Zerpmon on The Root Network. Through Tradeverse, Zerpmon, and other initiatives, Gen3 Games hopes to be a catalyst for growth, inspiring others to build on The Root Network.
