How NFTs Work in Sipher Odyssey

Sipher Odyssey supports full asset ownership through NFTs on Funki Chain. You can withdraw your in-game items to your wallet, deposit NFTs into the game for full utility, or just play using NFTs you already own. Here’s how it all works.

NFT Basics in Sipher

• Game items like Vessels, weapons, and equipment can be minted (withdrawn) as ERC-721 NFTs to your linked Web3 wallet.
• Once withdrawn, NFTs are owned by you and can be traded outside the game (once third-party marketplaces launch).
• NFTs can still be used in-game, even when sitting in your wallet.

Withdrawn NFTs: Playable but Limited

When you withdraw an in-game item as an NFT:

• The game reflects your NFT from your wallet in a read-only mode.
• You can still play using the NFT. You can upgrade, level up, and change augments.
• You cannot trade it in the in-game marketplace, burn/ascend your vessel, or salvage the item.
• The NFT stays in your wallet, fully owned by you.

Deposited NFTs: Full Utility & Tradability

When you deposit an NFT into the game using the Sipher Shop:

• The item is sent into the game via a wallet signature on Funki Chain.
• Deposited NFTs become fully usable, and tradable in the Sipher in-app marketplace.
• You can withdraw deposited NFTs at any time to return them to your wallet.

Quick FAQ

Do I need to deposit my NFTs to use them in-game?

• No. NFTs in your wallet are playable in-game, but not tradable.

Is there a marketplace outside the game?

• Not yet. An on-chain marketplace for Funki Chain is coming soon. For now, all trading happens in the Sipher Odyssey in-game marketplace.

Does Genesis Sipher NFT Collections have in-game utility?

• The Genesis Sipher NFT Collections on Ethereum — Sipherian Surge and Sipherian Flash have been migrated to Funki Chain, and no longer have in-game utility in Sipher Odyssey. For full details, see the Genesis NFT migration announcement.
