What is Summoning?

Summoning transforms a dormant Pharos NFT into a living, breathing Gotchipus. This is where your companion is truly born — with a soul, a name, a unique identity, and a faction.

The Summoning Ritual

Open the My Pharos window and select an unsummoned Pharos to begin.

Step 1: Name Your Gotchipus

Choose a unique name for your companion. This name is stored on-chain and displayed across all interfaces.

Step 2: Stake Collateral

Select a token and amount to stake as your Gotchipus’s soul energy:
TokenSoul Conversion
PROS (ETH)40,000,000 soul per 1 ETH
WETH40,000,000 soul per 1 ETH
USDC10,000 soul per 1 USDC
USDT10,000 soul per 1 USDT
WBTC1,500,000,000 soul per 1 WBTC
The collateral is sent to your Gotchipus’s Token-Bound Account, giving it real economic backing.

Step 3: Set Timezone

Choose a timezone (0–23) for your Gotchipus. This affects its internal clock and the weather system.

Step 4: Customize Appearance

Select visual traits for your Gotchipus:
  • Background — the environment behind your companion
  • Body — physical form and color
  • Eyes — eye shape and expression

Step 5: Confirm & Summon

Submit the transaction. Upon confirmation, the summoning process:
  1. Assigns a faction — Combat (35%), Defense (33%), or Technology (32%)
  2. Determines rarity — Common (60%), Rare (25%), Epic (12%), Legendary (3%)
  3. Initializes attributes — STR, DEF, INT, VIT, AGI, LUK based on rarity
  4. Sets dynamic states — Health, Energy, Morale, Focus all start at maximum
  5. Creates the TBA — deploys a Token-Bound Account and sends collateral to it
  6. Changes status — Pharos (status 0) becomes Gotchipus (status 1)
