Prix de Aurory (AURY)

## What Is Aurory (AURY)?

[Aurory](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aurory/) is a Japanese role-playing game built on [Solana](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/solana) and set in a retro-futuristic universe. Players get to choose between different game modes, such as solo game mode and two multiplayer modes. The solo game mode is a fully hand-drawn side-scrolling game in 2D animation. Players follow the quest of Helios, a retro-futuristic cat-like protagonist, and have to fulfill quests, talk to NPCs, and defeat opponents to advance the plot. Defeated opponents will be earned as [NFTs](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token), which can then later be used as part of the multiplayer mode.

In those, players will be able to stake NFTs they earned by defeating monsters to win in-game skins, unique and legendary cards, and power-ups. These items can then later be used against other players or traded on the native marketplace. The team also plans a player-versus-player mode, where gamers can challenge each other by choosing five of their items and cards to fight in a contest. The winner gets to collect all the tokens paid to begin the battle. A leaderboard will rank players based on their achievements and allow them to compete for giveaways.


## Who Are the Founders of Aurory?

Aurory was founded by co-founder and Creative and Art Director Yann Penno and Marketing and Operations lead and second co-founder Paul Vadillo. Penno brings long-standing experience in the gaming industry with 14 years of work as a 2D/3D animator and art/creative director for indie games. His colorful visual style and cute characters are exemplary for the design of Aurory and are somewhat reminiscent of Dragonball. Vadillo has been a full-time investor in cryptocurrencies since 2019. The eight-person strong team is completed by five more animators and designers and complemented by two advisors.


## What Makes Aurory Unique?

Aurory utilizes the same play-to-earn game mechanics that have made games like [Axie Infinity (AXS)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/) wildly successful. Players can earn tokens and NFTs by playing the game, which can later be used to buy items in the marketplace and improve their chances of success in the game.

NFTs in the Aurory universe are called Aurorians and have several utilities for the game. First, they serve as visual identity in the game. In other words, a player’s Aurorian is his avatar. Aurorians give players access to future game modes and function as keys to test and validate additional modes that will be added to player-versus-player. In the future, Aurorians are supposed to act as in-game skin modelized in 3D that will allow players to evolve in future gameplay modes.

These NFTs can also be used as collateral to borrow liquidity against on the Serum DEX. The team also plans to have farming and staking options for the AURY token.
