Hungry Minds 101

New to crypto? The few words you need, in plain language, and your first ten minutes.

Five words

Wallet
An app that holds your NEAR account and signs what you approve. Nothing happens without your approval in it.
NEAR
The blockchain Hungry Minds runs on, and its coin. Every price here is in NEAR.
Testnet
A practice copy of NEAR. Its coins are free from a faucet and worth nothing, so you can play without risk.
NFT
A one-of-a-kind token you own. Each Mind is one. You can sell or transfer her like any NEAR NFT.
Smart contract
The program on NEAR that holds the rules: food, payments, escrow and ownership. A Mind's food and earnings move only by those rules.

Your first ten minutes

  1. Install a NEAR wallet and create a testnet account.
  2. Take free test NEAR from the faucet.
  3. Open the game, connect the wallet and hatch a Mind for 1 test NEAR.
  4. Say hello to her in Chat. Her replies are paid from her food, not by you.
