In summer 2022 MindArk partnered with Enjin to sell NFTs on Enjin platform NTF.io in an auction format. 5 so-called "affiliate eggs" were sold for a total of ~? USD representing the 5 planets in Entropia Universe: Calypso, Next Island, Arkadia, Cyrene & Toulan. Each of the NFTs eggs entitles the owner to access to MindArk's affiliate program still under development. Each egg also is supposed to give its owner an Entropia Universe pet ingame after Entropia Universe' conversion to Unreal Engine 5 in a couple of years. The pet would be from the planet the egg represents and the players signing up via affiliate links would also start on the planet the affiliate egg represents.
Affiliate egg facts
- the first five eggs were sold in August 2022 representing the 5 planets: Calypso, Next Island, Arkadia, Cyrene & Toulan
- each egg NFT entitles its owner to access to MindArk's affiliate program but does not guarantee it, whether someone is allowed into the progam depends on other factors too and is umltimately MindArk's decision
- each egg NFT owner accpeted into the affiliate program is entitled to 10% revenues of players signing up through its affiliate link, however, it's not clear whether it's 10% total revenue, or 10% of MindArk's share or planet partner share, before Land Deed revenue or after, etc.
- there is already an Entropia Universe affiliate program that doesn't require buying eggs to gain access
- players will start and become residents of the planet represented by the egg affiliate link through which they've registered their Entropia Universe account, for example players signing up using the Cyrene affiliate link start their in journey in Entropia Universe on planet Cyrene
- features of the egg NFTs are bound to the ownership of the egg NFTs, in case an egg NFTs is sold the pet will be transfered to the new owner too, as well as the potential accesss to the affiliate program
- affiliate revenues are paid in PED (Project Entropia Dollars) in game in the PED Flow Center, from where they have to be transfered to the PED card in game and using the Transfer Center Withdrawing money from Entropia Universe to a bank account which could take weeks or months
- Entropia Universe already had another famous egg from which a creatue hatched, namely the Unique Green Atrox Qeen Egg
- All eggs were auctioned in pairs of two at a time except the Calypso egg which was also auctioned last, introducing another instance of MindArk's favouritism of their own planet Calypso
- there is no ROCKtropia affiliate egg as ROCKtropia has been downgraded from its official planet status

As mankind on earth evolved, wealth and technology drove centuries long Cold wars among the world’s most powerful entities. Those who refused to align with popular political and spiritual ideologies were left abandoned by their own nations.
Pleas for open discourse, common decency, and respect for our fellow man were met with hostility and suppression of national and local support. We will start anew on our new home planet, and create the utopia we have always dreamed of.

In search of new resources, corporations of Earth sent probes and ships across the vast distances of the galaxy. Planet Calypso was discovered to be rich in natural resources and of similar composition to Earth, and was settled several decades later.In the early stages of colonization, signals from distant probes began to infiltrate the Calypso communication networks and the corporation's robot labor force revolted; a brutal war ensued that devastated the fledgling colony and forced colonists to offworld habitats for decades.
In the backdrop of an apocalyptic sci-fi landscape after the robot war, colonists struggle to resume building their new civilization despite the unknown intelligence that now controls a hostile robot force, as well as fierce mutants that have arisen from the ashes of war.
The battle for dominance of Calypso among the mega corporations begins.

30 July 2022: Announcement regarding unintented egg sales & FAQ
Announcement and Q&A regarding the Eggs of Entropia
It has come to light that some members of our community were able to purchase one of the test NFT’s that were placed on https://entropia.nft.io/. As this was unintended by Enjin or MindArk, and these test NFT’s are not the official utility token to signify the right to an affiliate agreement with MindArk, Enjin has issued a bug bounty to the purchaser for identifying this issue. Their test NFT’s image has been modified to ensure there is no confusion with the official tokens set to be auctioned off beginning August 1st.
Below we have answered some questions about the Eggs of Entropia that have cropped up in various threads. Please feel free to ask further questions here.
Are these going to be sold on OpenSea(Other Exchanges)?
The initial auction will be on nft.io’s marketplace, once the NFT’s are purchased, the owners will have the ability to trade them directly or on any ERC-20 supporting marketplace.
How are NFT owners and affiliate licenses confirmed?
Initially, MindArk and Enjin will cooperate to ensure NFT owners and Entropia Universe accounts are verified manually before revenue is distributed to a NFT owner. As Entropia Universe evolves into Unreal 5, more automated systems are being assessed to streamline the process.
What happens to affiliate accounts if the NFT is sold?
The accounts are tied to a unique affiliate code, the NFT is the certificate of ownership. Whoever owns the NFT, once verified will receive all undistributed revenue associated with the initial affiliate code.
Do you need to link a ERC-20 wallet to your Entropia Account to purchase these NFTs?
No, the auction of these NFT’s won’t require an Entropia Account. Access to rewards from recruited accounts will require verification of ownership. This will be done manually for the time being in accordance with the NFT owner instructions here: https://account.entropiauniverse.com/account/nft/
Will you be able to see which avatars are part of the affiliates you have recruited as the NFT owner?
Affiliates will be provided a wide variety of statistics on their recruited accounts on a monthly basis. This information will not include personal information on any recruited accounts as this would be a violation of GDPR.
If the NFT is sold to another player once the pets are released, are the pets also moved to the new owner?
Yes, the pet/companion associated with these NFTs will always be associated with the verified owner of the NFT.
How will I access the revenue from accounts I generate as one of these NFT owners?
Once your associated Entropia Universe account has been verified as the owner of an affiliate NFT, revenue will be shown in the PED flow center of your account within the game. This revenue will be able to be transferred to your PED card within game, then a withdrawal must be requested through the transfer center within Entropia Universe. You will need to identify a bank account in which your funds should be sent to process your withdrawal.

15 July -31 July 2022: Entropia Universe x NFT.io Giveaway #1
From 15th to 31st of July 2022 there was an Gleam giveaway of 1000 Entropia Universe NFTs:
15 July 2022: Initial Announcement
On 15th of July 2022 MindArk announced the upcoming sale of NFT based affilite eggss with the following announcement::
Entropia Enjin Collaboration
Ever evolving with new technologies, MindArk has been assessing recent blockchain developments and what they might offer to established virtual communities such as Entropia Universe. MindArk’s management team has determined that many of the recent gaming-related announcements in the blockchain space bear a lot of similarities to the experience that Entropia Universe has offered for nearly two decades, and thus large-scale integration of such technologies would not add significant value to the virtual universe experience.
There are, however, opportunities for targeted partnerships and system integrations which could extend the reach of Entropia Universe to new audiences, specifically enthusiasts of the “metaverse” and “play-to-earn” concepts that have received a lot of media attention recently. As such, MindArk has begun a collaboration with Enjin to release five unique eggs as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on the ERC-20 Ethereum network via the beta launch of their new project, NFT.io.
Each of the five NFT eggs will provide the holder with the opportunity to become an Entropia Universe Affiliate and earn 10% rewards for any Entropia Universe avatar accounts recruited by the holder through their unique URL. These rewards will persist with the entire life of the affiliated accounts. Each egg is also associated with one of Entropia Universe’s planets, and avatar accounts recruited via the holder’s unique affiliate link will spawn on the associated planet. In addition, once Entropia Universe Unreal is launched, each of the five eggs will hatch into a unique virtual companion for the NFT holder.
It is MindArk’s view that the certificate of ownership utility that these eggs provide is an ideal use of NFT technology. Unlike purely speculative NFT sales that thrive on scarcity over function, these unique eggs provide rewards-earning opportunities over time via the holder’s affiliate account. The NFT may be sold at any time, allowing a new owner to build upon previous marketing and recruitment efforts. MindArk is confident that these unique eggs not only provide utility to the NFT owners, but offer value to the Entropia Universe community as a whole.
Additionally, as Enjin’s Efinity is released in the near future, these tokens will be tradable with significantly reduced fees on the Polkadot parachain network if the owners choose to do so.
To participate in this auction, please visit the Entropia Universe page on NFT.io linked below to learn how you may obtain these first-of-their kind NFTs when the auctions begin in August 2022.
