❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🔰 GENERAL & GETTING STARTED

1. What is Companeons DAO?

Companeons DAO is a Web3 gaming ecosystem on Solana that combines play-to-earn mechanics, NFTs, social engagement, and tokenized governance under one DAO-driven platform.

2. How do I get started with Companeons DAO?

Start by joining our Discord, minting a Portals Badge, then play the Miners Game to begin earning and progressing.

3. Is Companeons DAO live or still in development?

Phases 1 and 2 are fully live. Castle Bots, $VCOMP, Miners Game, $MCOMP, and MystiKeys are operational. We're currently minting Portals Badges. Phase 3 begins once they're sold out.

4. Is Companeons free to play?

Yes. The Miners Game and Castle Bots rewards are open to everyone. You don’t need to mint NFTs to get started — but minting boosts your earnings and access.

5. Is this a game or a DAO?

Both. We’re building a full gaming ecosystem governed by a decentralized community. Gameplay earns tokens, and tokens provide DAO voting power.

🪙 TOKENS & ECONOMY

6. What is $VCOMP and how do I earn it?

$VCOMP is the loyalty token earned from holding NFTs, chatting in Discord, and completing tasks through Castle Bots. It's swappable into $COMP after our Token Generation Event (TGE).

7. What is $MCOMP and how do I earn it?

$MCOMP (Stone Runes) is earned by unlocking characters and playing the Miners Game. It’s burned to open Mystery Chests and hatch Region Eggs.

8. What is $TCOMP and when is it launching?

$TCOMP is the upcoming PvP progression token from the Trainers Game. It will be launched in Phase 3 alongside Companeons NFTs and will also be swappable to $COMP post-TGE.

9. What is $COMP and when will it go live?

$COMP is our final governance token. It's fixed at 1B supply and will launch after Phase 3. All soft tokens ($VCOMP, $MCOMP, $TCOMP) are swappable into $COMP.

10. How does the token swap to $COMP work?

Each soft token has 10% of $COMP’s supply reserved. After TGE, you'll be able to convert them into $COMP — one way only. Swap ratios will be announced before launch.

🧩 NFTS & MINTING

11. What are Portals Badges and why should I mint one?

Portals Badges are soulbound NFTs that serve as your Companeons identity. They earn $VCOMP and $MCOMP passively, unlock exclusive quests, and give whitelist access to all future drops.

12. How many Portals Badges are available?

10,000 max. Once sold out, we move into Phase 3 — the launch of Companeons NFTs.

13. What are Companeons NFTs and when do they launch?

5,000 unique, fully tradable NFTs based on in-game characters. They’ll be stakable, playable in Trainers Game, and key to Phase 3. Launch begins once all Portals Badges are minted.

14. How can I qualify for a Companeons NFT mint?

Mint or hold a Portals Badge. Top 500 badge holders get a free mint (gas only), top 1,000 get OG access, and all holders are guaranteed whitelist access.

15. What are Trainers NFTs?

Fully custom 1/1 NFTs that serve as your PvP avatar in the Trainers Game. They’ll be created post-mint by our artist and offer top-tier staking rewards.

16. What are Artifacts NFTs and how do I earn them?

Artifacts are 13,000 region-based NFTs earned via gameplay and airdrops. They boost your PvP loadout and staking returns — no public sale.

🎮 GAMES & FEATURES

17. What is the Miners Game?

A progression game where you unlock characters across 13 regions, mine $MCOMP, play daily mini-games, and open Mystery Chests. It’s the first game of the ecosystem — and it’s live.

18. How do I earn and spend $MCOMP in the game?

Earn passively by unlocking characters, or actively through mini-games and invites. Spend Runes on opening Mystery Chests, hatching Region Eggs, and unlocking bonuses.

19. What is MystiKeys?

A mystery chest platform where you use SOL/USDC to open animated chests for a chance to win $VCOMP, SOL, NFTs, and more. Also available as a tool for partner projects.

20. Is the Trainers Game live yet?

Not yet. Development will begin in Phase 3 after the Companeons NFTs are minted. Trainers Game will introduce PvP, $TCOMP, and advanced NFT battles.

⚙️ REWARDS & BOTS

21. What is Castle Bots?

Castle Bots is our proprietary Web3 Discord automation tool. It tracks NFT holders, gives Chat-to-Earn rewards, Task-to-Earn quests, and Hold-to-Earn income — all without staking.

22. How do I claim my $VCOMP and leaderboard points?

Visit Castle Bots Dashboard, connect your wallet and Discord, and claim rewards from holding, chatting, and completing tasks.

23. Can other projects use Castle Bots or MystiKeys?

Yes. Both are franchise-ready tools. Partner projects can run their own tasks, reward systems, and chests using our infrastructure.

🧠 GOVERNANCE, STAKING & DAO

24. What does $COMP allow me to do as a DAO member?

Vote on proposals, manage treasury use, control emissions, whitelist future partners, and help shape the roadmap. DAO governance will scale over time as $COMP holders grow.

25. What can I stake in Companeons DAO?

You’ll be able to stake Companeons NFTs, Trainers NFTs, and Artifacts NFTs to earn $COMP and $TCOMP. Portals Badges generate rewards passively (no staking needed).
