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:
| Token | Soul Conversion |
|---|
| PROS (ETH) | 40,000,000 soul per 1 ETH |
| WETH | 40,000,000 soul per 1 ETH |
| USDC | 10,000 soul per 1 USDC |
| USDT | 10,000 soul per 1 USDT |
| WBTC | 1,500,000,000 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:
- Assigns a faction — Combat (35%), Defense (33%), or Technology (32%)
- Determines rarity — Common (60%), Rare (25%), Epic (12%), Legendary (3%)
- Initializes attributes — STR, DEF, INT, VIT, AGI, LUK based on rarity
- Sets dynamic states — Health, Energy, Morale, Focus all start at maximum
- Creates the TBA — deploys a Token-Bound Account and sends collateral to it
- Changes status — Pharos (status 0) becomes Gotchipus (status 1)
What You Get
After summoning, your Gotchipus is alive with:
| Property | Determined By |
|---|
| Faction & Element | Random (weighted by faction distribution) |
| Rarity | Random (with pity system protection) |
| Base Attributes | Rarity + faction bonuses |
| Appearance | Gene seed + your trait selections |
| Soul Energy | Amount of collateral staked |
| Name | Your chosen name |
Pity System
If luck hasn’t been on your side, the pity system guarantees better results:
| Guarantee | After |
|---|
| Rare or better | 15 consecutive common summons |
| Epic or better | 30 consecutive non-epic summons |
| Legendary | 60 consecutive non-legendary summons |
The summoning is irreversible — once your Pharos awakens as a Gotchipus, its faction, rarity, and appearance are permanent. Choose your name carefully.
