# Overview

**CryptoGem** is a Play2Earn game centered around Farming, Staking, and Trading Gems.

**CryptoGem** is set in the future, where humanity has discovered a planet full of floating ***Gem mines*** that consist of special ***gemstones*** that when refined can provide all the necessary resources humanity needs to survive since the vast exploitation of earth's resources has caused almost the extinct of life. This has given tremendous value to these ***gemstones***. However, because everyone, powerful individuals, organizations, and nations, started racing towards this godsend. The unneeded conflict started arising, and to avoid it, everyone agreed to comply with a system. The system of randomness. To ensure equal chances of getting gem mines, **this system of** **randomness has been implemented taking into consideration their rarities**.

Players of **CryptoGem** will be able to own ***Gem mines***** and a special set of *****pickaxes***** as NFTs**. This makes *the core gameplay* built around farming ***gemstones*** from ***Gem mines*** using different types of ***pickaxes***. ***Gem mines*** are classified depending on the rarity of the ***Gemstones*** they contain. And the ***pickaxes***' classification is according to their ***mining power*** and ***durability.***

**CryptoGem** is built on the ***Binance Smart Chain*** for the many advantages it offers to the users. *Binance Smart Chain* is an Ethereum Fork with better improvements. Cheap transactions, faster adoption rates, allows for easy token migration, and a secure and scalable network.

**CryptoGem** aims to create an extensive ecosystem built in the web3. For the purpose of making the first gemstone market in the metaverse. It will be utilized to trade and earn valuable gemstones as digital assets.
