The game called CAPES (Collective Association of Power Enabled Society) is set in the heroic fantasy genre and the project aims to help children develop a relationship with money, in turn helping to develop a better understanding of the notion of money.

In terms of the NFTs:
Some will be exclusive, created by artists and influencers, then sold in certain periods. Others will be the subject of rewards for players who will succeed in solving the eco-responsible challenges offered in C.A.P.E.S. around poverty, pollution or biodiversity.

Arnaud Saint-Paul, founder of Give Nation and C.A.P.E.S. commented (translated):
C.A.P.E.S players are going to have a real impact on the world. By uniting beyond borders, they will have to solve challenges, which will end with donations to associations working for a better world. Blockchain and now NFTs represent a unique opportunity to develop new approaches around eco-responsibility.
