Aavegotchi (GHST)
Key data
updated $0Aavegotchi (GHST) is the native token of Aavegotchi, a gaming project that combines DeFi with collectible NFT ghosts on the Polygon network. Each Aavegotchi is a pixel-art ghost NFT whose value is backed by interest-bearing aTokens, so your collectible literally earns yield while you play with it. GHST is used to buy and upgrade these ghosts, purchase land in the Gotchiverse, and participate in the project's governance.
Frequently asked questions
What is Aavegotchi and how is it different from other NFT games?
Aavegotchi is a play-to-earn game where each NFT ghost is backed by a DeFi collateral, meaning the character itself holds real value in aTokens. Unlike most NFT games where the token is just a currency, here the NFT and DeFi are fused together. Rarity, kinship, and experience level affect each ghost's traits and usefulness in the Gotchiverse.
How does the Aavegotchi network work?
The project runs on Polygon, an Ethereum scaling network, which keeps transaction fees low compared to mainnet. NFTs and game assets are governed by smart contracts, while the DAO of GHST holders votes on key decisions like new features and token distribution. This makes the community, not a company, the main driver of development.
How is GHST token issuance structured?
GHST has a hard cap of 52,747,802 coins, so the total supply is fixed and no new tokens can be minted beyond that limit. The supply was initially distributed through a token sale and continues to circulate through gameplay rewards and ecosystem activity. This scarcity model is a deliberate design choice by the project's DAO.
How can you store and use GHST?
Since GHST is an ERC-20 token on Polygon, you can store it in any wallet that supports Polygon, such as MetaMask or Rabby. The token is used to buy Aavegotchi NFTs, wearables, and Gotchiverse land, as well as to stake and vote in the DAO. Always make sure you're on the correct network when transacting to avoid losing funds.
