Chirp, a decentralized telecommunications network operating on the Sui blockchain, has introduced its play-to-earn (P2E) game, Kage.
Billed as the first DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) P2E game, Kage brings players to the intersection of entertainment, rewards, and real-world utility.
Chirp Turns Smartphones into Cryptocurrency Miners
With Kage, Chirp invites players to explore their surroundings by using their smartphones to detect wireless networks such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular towers. This activity engages players in a gamified experience while rewarding them with CHIRP tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the Chirp ecosystem.
Players will earn CHIRP as soon as they start the game and will be able to claim these tokens after the upcoming token generation event (TGE).
An X user stated, “You’re not just earning CHIRP tokens; you’re also participating in building the technology of the future. Your gaming experience helps expand Chirp’s IoT ecosystem, collecting data to create innovative location solutions for daily life and business.”
According to the game mechanics, the number of detected signals is directly proportional to the accumulated Data Chips. This places players higher on the leaderboard and maximizes their CHIRP rewards.
As an additional incentive, Kage offers a “Pokémon Go”-style treasure hunt campaign called Wings of Chronos. Through this campaign, players can search for Bluetooth-enabled physical items and NFTs to earn special advantages and rewards.
Unlike traditional P2E games, Kage serves a broader purpose. By participating, players contribute to a location database that forms the foundation of Chirp’s IoT ecosystem. This database provides vital solutions for industries requiring low-power positioning and indoor navigation—areas where GPS struggles. Applications include logistics, urban planning, and the retail sector.
Tim Kravchunovsky, CEO and founder of Chirp, told BeInCrypto, “Kage is not just a game—it’s a creative way for Chirp to power our community-driven IoT network, and we couldn’t think of a better home for this next-generation game than Sui—the fastest and most secure blockchain in the web3 space. We have big plans at Chirp, and both Sui and Kage are a huge part of that.”
Integration with Chirp’s Expanding Ecosystem
Kage seamlessly integrates into Chirp’s decentralized telecommunications ecosystem, which is known for offering innovative IoT connectivity and data solutions. This has been gaining momentum since the company first introduced its vision for the future of P2E gaming in its 2nd-anniversary announcement in October. Four months ago, Chirp hinted at its transformative potential during an airdrop campaign, allowing users to secure tokens before the official launch. This campaign strengthened Chirp’s community, preparing it for the game’s release.
Android users will be the first to experience Kage by registering on the Chirp platform and connecting their Sui wallets. As CHIRP becomes central to Chirp’s operations, it promises to redefine DePIN gaming and IoT applications.
Despite its innovation, Kage is entering an already competitive market. P2E games on the TON (The Open Network) blockchain, which notably leverage Telegram’s vast user base, pose a challenge. Many projects use Telegram’s accessibility to attract players, offering gamified ways to earn cryptocurrency while emphasizing community interaction.
These games are already seeing significant traction, and Chirp must navigate this landscape to solidify its position. Although Chirp has taken a significant step with Kage, its success will depend on the platform’s ability to maintain engagement, outperform competitors, and deliver value to its growing community.
Nevertheless, Chirp plans to expand the Kage experience to other regions, starting with Europe. Its treasure hunt and real-world mapping features uniquely position it by combining physical exploration with blockchain-based incentives.
