What You Need

  • A Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet)
  • Some PROS tokens on Pharos Network (for minting + collateral)
  • A few minutes of your time

​
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Visit the Gotchipus app and click Connect Wallet in the taskbar. The app runs on Pharos Atlantic Testnet — make sure your wallet is on the correct network.
The app supports MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, OKX, Trust Wallet, and WalletConnect.

​
Step 2: Mint a Pharos NFT

Open the Mint window from the desktop.
  • Price: 0.04 PROS per Gotchipus
  • Max per transaction: 30
  • Total supply: 20,000
Select your quantity, click Mint, and confirm the transaction. You now own a Pharos NFT — a dormant vessel waiting to be awakened.

​
Step 3: Summon Your Gotchipus

Open the My Pharos window. Find your newly minted Pharos and click to begin the summoning ritual. You’ll need to provide:
FieldDescription
NameGive your Gotchipus a unique name
CollateralStake tokens (PROS, USDC, USDT, WETH, or WBTC) — this becomes your Gotchipus’s soul energy
TimezoneSet your Gotchipus’s internal clock
AppearanceChoose background, body, and eye traits
Confirm the transaction. Your Pharos NFT transforms into a living, breathing Gotchipus with:
  • Randomly assigned faction (Combat, Defense, or Technology)
  • Randomly determined rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary)
  • Initialized attributes (STR, DEF, INT, VIT, AGI, LUK)
  • Full health, energy, morale, and focus

​
Step 4: Care for Your Gotchipus

Your Gotchipus is alive — and it needs you. Pet your Gotchipus once per day to:
  • Restore +10 to health, energy, morale, and focus
  • Gain +10 experience points
  • Set its mood to Happy
Your Gotchipus’s states decay over time — health and focus drop 1 point per hour, energy and morale drop 2 points per hour. Don’t neglect it!

​
Step 5: Equip Wearables

Open the Wearable Marketplace to browse and purchase equipment:
  • Filter by category (head, hand, clothes, face, mouth) and rarity
  • Each wearable boosts specific stats (STR, DEF, INT, VIT, AGI, LUK)
  • Equipping gear that matches your faction gives a 20% stat bonus
  • Collect full sets for powerful set bonus effects
