what's Fren Pet?

Fren Pet is a retro-style blockchain game built on the Base network, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution developed by Coinbase. Players mint and care for virtual pets through on-chain interactions, such as feeding them items like tea, shrooms, or bonks to maintain their health and accumulate points. These activities generate transactions on the blockchain, fostering a play-to-earn model where points earned translate into ETH rewards distributed to players' wallets. The game's mechanics encourage long-term engagement by tying rewards to pet progression; withdrawing ETH resets the pet's points and features, incentivizing players to hold and continue playing rather than cashing out immediately. Features include free pet minting (gas-only), loot boxes for stat improvements, and community events like streams and drawing games. All assets and rewards are handled transparently via smart contracts on Base, ensuring security and accessibility for users with ETH for transactions. Fren Pet emphasizes community building and fun, with updates focusing on faster gameplay, easier onboarding (e.g., ETH-to-$FP conversion), and enhanced reward systems. It has processed millions of transactions and distributed significant rewards, highlighting its active ecosystem within the Base chain's on-chain summer initiatives.

Fren Pet moved 50% of $FP liquidity from Base to Ethereum mainnet for a new experiment.
