WTF is Chumbi Valley?

Blockchain games are the next generation of gaming. They solve some of the biggest problems of the industry while rewarding players with crypto. Blockchain games do that by utilizing a play-to-earn functionality. Essentially, you, as a user, get rewarded in crypto for playing the game.

One fascinating upcoming play-to-earn game is Chumbi Valley. It promises to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience by building a strong community of loyal supporters.

In this article, you’ll learn what makes Chumbi Valley so interesting, how it plans to make money and who’s behind it.

It’s not out yet, but the project looks exciting. 

Let’s see why.

What’s Chumbi Valley?

Chumbi Valley is a role-playing game that’s built on Polygon. Why Polygon? Because it’s fast and cheap, so most people can play the game without paying $50-$600 in gas fees.

Chumbi Valley will launch on all platforms - PC, Mac, Android and IOS. All the characters and items will be on the blockchain as NFTs. Chumbi Valley is inspired by four games - Zelda, Stardew Valley, Pokemon and Studio Ghibil.

The players will raise adorable creatures called Chumbi. You can earn crypto with your Chumbi by: 

• Farming the land.
• Exploring the world.
• Crafting new items.
• Breeding more Chumbi.
• Battling different players.

Chumbi Valley will be completely free to play. When you start, you get an Ancestor Chumbi that can’t be sold or traded.

What are Chumbi?

Chumbi are cute creatures living in a forest valley. They use spells to protect the forest from different enemies.

Each Chumbi is a unique NFT, made of a combination of different elements:

• Type
• Coat
• Ears
• Horns
• Eyes
• Mouth
• Pattern

Each Chumbi has a main and a coat type. There are 15 main types, each with 10 coat variations. 

You can breed your Chumbi with other Chumbi. When you breed compatible types, you’ll get a better chance to create a higher tier Chumbi.

Also, each Chumbi has its own spells. You can send it to the Chumbi Sage to increase its spell level. The higher the spell level is, the more valuable in-game resources the Chumbi can gather. Even when you’re offline!

What’s the Gameplay?

Chumbi Valley’s gameplay has six different elements:

• The Forest Valley 

Here, you learn together with your Chumbi to live off the land. You can gather resources to create in-game NFTs. Also, you can build a home and expand your team of Chumbi.

• Exploration  

With the game’s ancient portal, you can travel through different spaces. The exploration will allow you to discover rare items and fight cursed Chumbi in the forest.

• Farming 

Grow forest crops with your Chumbi. The crops are in-game NFTs. Make sure you water them regularly! You can combine them with Lucky Stars (the secondary in-game currency) to make your Chumbi’s favorite food.

• Offline Rewards  

When you’re offline, your Chumbi can be put into work. You can send it to the Chumbi Sage, where it can learn new spells. These spells will help it gather resources more easily.

• Chumbi Lending 

Chumbi Valley will have a feature that allows you to send your Chumbi to other players. Don’t worry - you can always return it on request. While the other player is using your Chumbi, you’ll collect a percentage of the rewards.

• Chumbi Village 

The game will have NFT based plots of land that give a user in-game ownership. Also, landowners will get access to special events like raids.

You have to battle wild Chumbi or other players. When your Chumbi levels up, it can defeat stronger opponents. By fighting tougher enemies, you get better rewards.

Each Chumbi has:

• 2 attack moves - 1 based on its main type and 1 based on its coat type.
• 2 effect moves.
• A genetic ability.

These mechanics allow players to use different strategies for building a team.

Another element of Chumbi is their happiness level. Feed your Chumbi with its favorite food to increase their happiness. The happier your Chumbi is, the higher staking rewards you’ll get.

The more you improve your Chumbi’s happiness and spells, the more valuable it will become. Also, you can trade your Chumbi on the marketplace or lend it to other players to share rewards.

How Can You Earn Crypto From Chumbi Valley? 

There are many different ways to do it. The stronger your Chumbi team is, the more play-to-earn tasks you can complete.

You can focus on battling players, exploring the world or farming the land. 

Here are all the different ways you can earn rewards in Chumbi Valley:

• Grow, farm and sell forest crops.
• Get offline rewards while your Chumbi learns new spells.
• Explore the world to find rare NFTs.
• Craft and sell rare in-game NFT items.
• Complete different quests.
• Breed a rare Chumbi.
• Trade Chumbi in the marketplace.
• Lend your Chumbi to other players.
• Buy and sell land.
• Stake your Chumbi token.

What’s the Shrine of Giving? 

This is where you can stake the Chumbi Valley token (CHMB) to earn rewards. It’s a high-APY, in-game interface.

Chumbi have worshipped the Shrine of Giving - an ancient monument that multiplies Chumbi’s items. You’ll be able to lock your CHMB tokens into the Shrine of Giving to get more tokens and NFTs. 

Also, you can assign your Chumbi to the Shrine of Giving to get even more staking rewards. A Chumbi with the maxed happiness level will give you better rewards and will become a rare NFT.

What About The Chumbi Valley Marketplace?

A critical part of Chumbi Valley will be its native marketplace. It will encourage players to improve their Chumbi and their items.

In Chumbi Valley’s marketplace, you can buy, sell or trade:

• Chumbi
• Land 
• Cosmetics
• Crops

What are the Tokeneconomics of Chumbi Valley?

Chumbi Valley has two different tokens:

• Chumbi Token (CHMB)

This is the primary in-game currency. With CHMB, you can pay for:

• New Chumbi.
• Breeding and sage fees.
• Trading items.
• The land.
• Anything you buy from the marketplace.

Eventually, holders would get staking rewards when they lock their CHMB in the Shrine of Giving. That’s because they will decrease CHMB’s supply. Also, the players will get additional CHMB based the Chumbi’s happiness level.

Chumbi Valley promises to be a fully decentralized game with a governance voting system. As the ecosystem grows, the “Chumbi Treasure” will buy and burn CHMB, making it deflationary. Also, the token will allow holders to participate in the expansion of the game.

• Lucky Stars (LSTS)

This is the secondary Chumbi Valley token created for the play-to-earn reward system. It has an infinite supply, but it’s also burned for:

• Breeding Chumbi.
• Levelling your Chumbi.
• Using spells.
• Increasing your Chumbi’s happiness.

Players can earn LSTS when they battle wild cursed Chumbi. The stronger the cursed Chumbi, the more tokens you get. Also, you can battle other players around the world and win LSTS.

You can get LSTS by exploring, completing quests, farming, gathering resources and selling in-game NFTs. 

Lucky stars will be minted each time a player completes a play-to-earn task.

The team of Chumbi Valley plans to launch a Chumbi treasury. It will receive up to 75% of all in-game crypto contributions to sustain the project long-term. 

The Chumbi treasury will buy and burn CHMB and LSTS tokens in the secondary market, managing the supply. It will also donate a percentage of its profits to different charities. 

How Chumbi Valley Plans to Monetize?

Chumbi Valley will make money in a few different ways. It will get a percentage of the marketplace, Chumbi breeding and Chumbi sage fees. 

It will also profit from Seed Chumbi NFT, Chumbi Village land and merch sales. 

Who’s Behind Chumbi Valley?

As of now, Chumbi Valley’s team is fully anonymous. More information will be revealed when the site launches. But we still know a few things about them.

They are based in Australia and have been blockchain enthusiasts since 2016. They have previous business experience in the gaming industry, running a mobile gaming studio for 3 years. The founders of Chumbi Valley have previously created a successful web design studio. They ran it for 8 years.  

But since they started working on Chumbi Valley, they shut down the studio and all other projects to focus 100% on the game.

Who Should Play Chumbi Valley?

If you’re a fan of Zelda, Stardew Valley, Pokemon and Studio Ghibil, you’ll have a good time playing Chumbi Valley. It promises to be easy to play but difficult to master, so you can spend a lot of time having fun. Also, you can earn crypto doing it!

Where is Chumbi Valley Right Now?

Chumbi Valley’s community has been growing like crazy. The game was announced only in July, but it has still built a large audience:

• The Discord chat has more than 100,000 members.
• Their Twitter page has more than 33 000 followers. 

And it all happened organically. Chumbi Valley did a little paid advertising initially, but what attracted so many people was the art.
