# A Guide to Worlds Within

This is a guide that goes into the depths of the Worlds Within, not only as a potential web-native metaverse but as a narrative universe represented by several formats of web3 media:

## Overview

Worlds Within is a collection of experiences unlike any other on Cardano, and it is much more than just a collection of virtual worlds on the blockchain. Worlds Within has towering mushrooms, pyramids, forests, and much more. On desktop, mobile, and VR platforms, you can explore your very own NFT.

# What is Worlds Within

## The Beginning

A collection of 13,000 1 of 1 randomly created virtual reality-ready worlds, Worlds Within has towering mushrooms, pyramids, forests, and much more. On desktop, mobile, and VR platforms, you can explore your very own NFT. If users connect their wallet to the play.worldswithin.io website, they can create their own galaxies using the Worlds they own using the UI (user interface) system.

## As of Today

We also recently released The Explorers, our very first set of Avatars, which is still in pristine condition. Explorers are included in the various Worlds Within Experiences so that users can showcase their favorite Explorers in 3D and VR! On February 22nd, we airdropped 13,000 Nebula Serum for users to burn for The Explorers. Soon, we'll be releasing Holo-Chambers, 3D spaces they may personalize and display, Terraforming, which will let users alter the appearance of their worlds; and much more

## Tomorrow

We plan to make Worlds Within one of the leading platforms for unique experiences on Cardano. We want to make sure that everyone has a wide range of avatar options to choose from, regardless of their community affiliation. Our ultimate goal is to become a leading cryptocurrency and experiential platform that is truly unique for everyone.


# Who We Are

## FragMint.gg

FragMint is a collaboration of creatives and VR passionate people who work on Cardano-based projects. We have chosen the Cardano community because they have been very dear to us. We are constantly creating projects and using the tools of the Cardano ecosystem. Because we are VR supporters and enthusiasts, the most sensible thing is to make VR-focused and VR-related projects. Our projects have their own style and story behind them that will extend to their own larger universe.


# Our Collections

## Worlds Within

The first drop of the Worlds Within NFT started in November and ended on January 16th. This drop consisted of VR-ready worlds which users could Explorer in any commercial VR headset on the day of the mint! Every world can also be viewed on Desktop and Mobile in the NFT itself.

## Nebula Serum

On February 22nd, we airdropped 13,000 Nebula Serum for users to burn. Our goal as a team is to create utility that would cause the holders of the nebula serum to burn it. The first implementation of this is our release of The Explorers.

# The Viewer

The Worlds Viewer is a place to look at all the original Worlds NFT and VR scenes.

<figure><img src="/files/wpTyy4wTe1WI8IJyDaYq" alt=""><figcaption><p>A place to view the original worlds.</p></figcaption></figure>

<https://explorer.worldswithin.io/worlds>

To use the viewer connect a nami wallet or type in the specific world's 5 digit number and then it will load the world for the user to explore. The navigation controls are the same as expressed in the navigation section.&#x20;

GLB Files\
Using the Viewer users can download GLB files for use on other platforms and projects. Users should be able to take their worlds and upload them to any platform that supports them. In order to expand the number of platforms the user may upload their worlds to, it is one of our goals to work with other projects.

# The Lore

The story behind the characters

A 7 chapter Visual Novel that follows the story of 8 Explorers and their adventure through the Worlds Within Universe. The story follows Sabrina as she navigates life in space, with the crew as they are terraforming a new planet. This story gives background and insight into Worlds Within, the characters, creatures, and tech that make up the universe.&#x20;


# Music

Music that is included in many Worlds Within experiences are created by girlDad. \
The track list will be added here soon.


# Galaxies

We vowed to completely redesign the user interface for people who carried numerous Worlds in their wallets. This is being done using a representation of how each globe would appear on the website. Based on the number of worlds they include, users will be able to design their own solar systems. The arrangement of the planets and their rotations around the Sun can be chosen by holders from a variety of backdrops.


# Social Hub

Members can hang out, chat with, and meet other Worlds Within users at the Social Hub! We want to make the Social Hub available to users on both desktop and VR. We intend to regularly offer events and meetups in the Social Hub in the future, and we believe that users will be eager to get to know all the other Worlds Within holders!


# Khaos Factions

Khaos Factions is a browser based first person shooter that integrates the Cardano blockchain using NFTs as collectible assets.  The reason for using the Cardano blockchain specifically is that we believe that the tech on Cardano is eco-friendly and the fees associated with the network are minimal, so users will be able to play, transact, and create in an easy manner without it costing them an arm and a leg. <br>

## How Does It Work?

We use a number of Characters and verify the user's wallet to see if they have either our collection or a number of collections we support in the project. Once verified the user will have access to a number of exclusive items and characters in the application.

## Guest Characters

<div><figure><img src="/files/P6yaUiUrV3YQCs94s6eV" alt=""><figcaption><p>Ferdinand</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/2QEhKlRUE3SrqsEjvgUL" alt=""><figcaption><p>Roh</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/JSgmpMzAQqvPUD90SwGL" alt=""><figcaption><p>Sabrina</p></figcaption></figure></div>

* Roh
* Sabrina (will be swapped with Tad, once his character model is updated)
* Ferdinand

Guest Characters are avatars that are playable for new players and players who do not connect their wallet. Having NFTs of these characters as the alias will unlock the rest of the characters in the game.

## The Explorers

The Explorers NFT collection of 1997, all of the characters in this collection have an alias, and those alias are the baseline character for the game. If you have any of The Explorer nfts you will be able to play as any character in the game. \
The Lore we created provides insight into The Explorers and their journey. You can take part in the adventure by following along in the lore, getting the character that resonates with you, and using that character in the game.

#### **Having an Explorer will not unlock gun skins, camos, or mutated characters that are specifically created or made via partnerships.  Any Character that resides in the Khaos Vault will be unlocked via the Explorers.**

## The Weapons

<https://khaos.worldswithin.io/>

Above is the link to our Weapons viewer which is a great way to check out the weapons and guns that are available in the game, or are on the way currently.

## Weapons Skins and Camos

\
There will also be rare camos and gun skins that we will introduce in the future. And this is to make it so that the game is updated and we are able to monetize it to continue building it on a consistent basis.


# Marketplace

## We are in the process of upgrading to V2 of our Marketplace.

The Worlds Within V1 Marketplace is currently live and available for use. We are excited that users will be able to buy and sell NTF’s in the market, and we are even more excited about the future assets that users will be able to buy and sell using this market. We appreciate all the feedback on the marketplace, and we are hoping that this will become the main hub for all trading, selling, and buying for all Worlds Within NFTs and any future avatars, airdrops, or different items that are connected to your world.
