Obite City
How to buy plots and get a house, and additional rewards.
Buy Obite.
Obite City is a fresh, playful community space designed for the Obite ecosystem.
This is a virtual, cypherpunk-themed city where land plots are all centered around opportunities
to collaborate, win rewards, and get a little creative.
Eitvin features quotes and ideas from the pioneers who shaped decentralized money and a wide range
of privacy tools for everyone, and all streets are named after them. You can get your own small
chunk of this city, place a home on it, and be part of an amazing group of neighbors. It's more than
just digital land. It's about connections and having some fun along the way. So, let's learn how
top participate from oswap.io to the city. Getting started in Obite City starts with preparing
your accounts and wallet. You'll need to connect your Discord and or Telegram account to the city
through an Obite Wallet Chatbot. You can find the bot store on the chat menu in the wallet,
click on the Discord or Telegram Add a Station bots, and then simply follow their instructions.
The process barely takes a few minutes. These attested accounts are the way you will be buying plots
and claiming rewards down the line, so make sure this connection is established. After that's it,
you'll need City tokens to purchase your first plot. Plots are only sold for City, with each plot
being 1,000 city tokens. The price right now is about 0.0028 G-BY-T-E per city token. Each plot, adding
a burned fee, 37.5% would cost approximately $11.40. City is easy to obtain on the Oswap.io
decentralized exchange, so you can begin there. When you buy a plot, it's randomly given
coordinates in the city's massive grid. If your plot happens to be near another vacant one,
You and your new neighbor wins some nice prizes. A house on each neighboring plot and two extra
empty plots, each worth 1,000 city. To claim your prizes, you'll reach out to your neighbor on
Discord or Telegram, making your purchase a cool opportunity to connect with someone new. If you don't
find a neighbor immediately, no worries. Your plots still in the city, still worth 1,000 city tokens,
and may give you extra rewards in the future when someone moves in next door. And if you don't feel like
waiting, you can swap out your plot and receive your tokens back, minus the burned fee.
Already have a house in Obite City. So, when your plot turns into a house, that's when
things get really fun. Your house is sort of your forever home in the city. It will have a street name
inspired by a famous cypherpunk, and it allows you to create a unique shortcode, something like
at my name, which will end up being a really easy wallet, address, to send and receive coins.
Only owners of houses can capture these short codes, and they can trade them with other citizens
for a real market value. Besides, houses are more than just a marker on the map. You can customize
yours with your social profiles, websites, company pages, or any kind of text and links you want to
share. Think of it as your digital calling card in the city. For businesses or projects, this opens
the door to a form of light advertising. Your presence is permanent, meaning it's always there for others to
find. Get more friends and more rewards. Obyte City is not all about collecting cold plots.
It flourishes on community development. That's where the referral scheme kicks in. If you share
your Plotor House link with friends and they decide to buy through it, you get a referral boost.
This increases your chances of being their neighbor, which can unlock more rewards for both of you.
On average, you'll receive around 10% of what your referrals purchase, excluding fees,
and it all adds up over time.
Additionally, the benefits don't end with the initial neighbor match or the referral program.
There are secondary rewards that aim to make the connection last longer.
These bonuses begin 60 days after becoming neighbors and continue over the course of time,
provided that you both claim them together through Discord or Telegram.
It's a subtle push to remain connected and the community engaged.
Obite City is still in its early days, but its foundation is clear.
Cooperation pays off.
Whether you are here to visit, construct your own space, or bring in friends, every activity nourishes the city's development.
So, if you have been considering joining a virtual space where your presence is valuable,
now could be a suitable moment to get your initial plot and begin constructing your corner of the city.
