⚪ Pearls: Nifty Island’s Premium Currency

What Are Pearls?

Pearls are our premium in-game, off-chain credit, designed to make participating in Nifty Island's creator economy far more accessible and to turbocharge demand for ISLAND token.

Unlike crypto tokens that may be unfamiliar or intimidating to new users, Pearls are simple to understand, easy to acquire, and powerful in what they unlock. Pearls also serve as a method for off-chain players to buy ISLAND token, without having to interact directly with web3 rails.

How do You Collect Pearls?

Pearls can be purchased with traditional payment methods (credit/debit card, app stores, etc.), creating a seamless onramp for gamers who are new to web3.

Web3 natives can purchase Pearls with ISLAND token at a discounted rate. Have some ISLAND staked? Enjoy an even higher discount on Pearls, exclusive to ISLAND holders.

Why Pearls?

At Nifty Island, our philosophy is that crypto should enhance gaming, not complicate it. Pearls exist to:

  • Drive new net inflows into ISLAND token

  • Increase the spend and staking of ISLAND token

  • Lower the barrier to entry for non-crypto-native players

  • Create a familiar spending experience akin to other online games

  • Enable optional, premium enhancements without gating core gameplay

  • Comply with game distribution platform restrictions regarding web3 services

  • Support the ongoing development of the game with an additional source of revenue

By using Pearls, players can engage with the best of what Nifty Island has to offer without needing a wallet, tokens, or prior crypto experience.

While players will still need to play and engage to earn most of what Nifty Island has to offer, Pearls will unlock new options for experiencing the game. For example, you can't buy Blooms with Pearls.

How Pearls Power the Broader Ecosystem

Pearls are more than just a platform credit, they’re a bridge to our web3 vision. Here’s how:

🔁 Automatic ISLAND Purchases: Supporting the ISLAND Token

A portion of Pearl sale volume is used to buy ISLAND on a recurring basis. This mechanism:

  • Supports long-term value for token holders

  • Creates a deflationary pressure on ISLAND

  • Ties premium spending to the health of the Nifty Island economy

The rate of ISLAND purchases will kick off at 25% of Pearl purchase value from traditional payment methods. This rate is subject to change as the Pearl economy develops.

What Can You Do with Pearls?

Pearls give you access to:

And more is coming soon, allowing you to:

  • 💎 Buy exclusive skins, cosmetics, and island assets

  • 🚀 Instant special ability unlocks, like the Jetpack

  • 🧰 Unlock advanced creation tools and upgrades

Pearls will also function as a direct way to support creators, rewarding those who make high quality user-generated content.

TL;DR

  • Pearls = easy-to-use premium platform credit

  • Designed for mainstream accessibility

  • Buy Pearls → fuels ISLAND token through recurring purchases

  • Aligned with our mission: to be a bridge between web2 and web3
