Do you guys remember it? The small device you could put in your pocket. It rang when you were at school because it had to be washed or fed and your parents had no idea what it was. One last hint, those little animals could also die if you would not wash them, or let them sleep enough and you’d be probably extremely sad if he/she would die as you would have to buy a new one in that case.
Yes, you guessed right, I am talking about Tamagotchis. As a parent the best in class test to see if your child is “pet-ready”.

Dom, founder of Vines and multiple other projects had a new funny for an experiment. How about we recreate the Tamagotchi concept that we all loved and recreate it on the Ethereum blockchain for people to coordinate to take care of it. In this case, the Tamagotchi is a so-called smart contract. And people using their Ethereum address will then be able to trigger multiple functions to “caretake the Gotchi”.

After 3 weeks, unfortunately, the Wagmigotchi left us.

However, the Wagmigotchi still leaves in our memories but also in paradise from where he sends a postcard to all his caretakers. Caretakers were able, during couple of weeks to mint a Postcard From Paradise NFT. Only people who took care of the Wagmigotchi got their “caretaker 0x” whitelisted and had 21 days to mint their Postcard.

The Wagmigotchi community is getting organised. And is starting to form a DAO. There are multiple initiatives that are getting worked on.
The first and most exciting one is that Wagmigotchi has been whitelisted to enter the “Hyype Network” community. The Hyy.pe Network is building a platform for NFT communities to connect, share stories, and collaboratively build their history.

Dom is also the creator of the Loot project. And it is planed to incorporate the Wagmigotchi within the Supverse and Lootverse
