Bufficorns ... Bufficorns ... we all love Bufficorns!
The Bufficorn NFT game aims to gamify networking and connecting builders at ETH Denver. The game mechanics was covered in Bufficorns - The ETH Denver official virtual networking game
TL;DR: The Bufficorns social game requires and promotes social interaction at ETHDenver. The participants must team-up and work together to breed top bufficorns. The resources needed for the breeding process can be obtained by scanning the badges of other participants.
Join a ranch and start playing by scanning the unique QR code printed on the back side of the badge. Drop by the Witnet booth if your badge doesn't have the QR code
The game will run between 17th and 20th of February, at ETH Denver, and the leaderboards will be updated in real time. Every Bufficorn breeder will receive a participation medal NFT, and will potentially gain medals in various categories.
Each ranch takes care of 4 bufficorns. These magical creatures will need different resources to grow and improve their skills. Higher traits will position the ranch and their bufficorns higher in the Leaderboard. Socialize with others and collect Warm Hey, Fresh Grass, Smart Sedge, Mighty Acorns, Tireless Water and Hearty Berry.
There are 10,000 Bufficorn NFTs, and they are sold out. There are 244 possible traits, mixed randomly to create unique Bufficorns. The $SPORK holders had a 24 hours head-start to mint Bufficorns, and then the minting was open for everyone.
The Bufficorns invaded the Opensea and the sales accelerated with the start of ETH Denver. There are 4.1 holders and the volume of trades for the collection is now 177 $ETH - 492,800 USD
The generative art process randomized the 244 traits to mint unique Bufficorns. There are 14 different background, 22 variants of fur and 10 different horns. Headgears, backs, threads, 22 mouth variants, 42 eyes and 8 types of earrings were added in the mix for guaranteed uniqueness. This is the Witnet vision... to create uniqueness for NFTs and blockchain gaming sector.

The NFT prizes will be medals minted on Polygon, so the participants can show them off in the OpenSea profile. Everyone will be getting a participant medal with their breeder score and position in the ranking.
The Bufficorn fun is not limited to indoor socializing at ETH Denver, and "explorers" are invited to join the POAP Scavenger Hunt. The event encourages people to explore Denver and look for the QR codes that are hidden at various venues and landmarks. Scanning the QR codes with the POAP app will reward the finder with a POAP NFT to mark the event. However, scanning the QR codes with the Bufficorn app will grant special in-game rewards and bonuses.
