Summary:
Spire is on-chain lore, structured as a unique Proof-of-Competition storyline. Creative contributions such as artwork, music, and writing are produced via contests, with winning submissions automatically minted NFTs. This is essentially a lore blockchain inside a smart contract, with each partner team receiving its own ready-to-use “spire”. Each spire has a built-in governance structure, facilitated by artwork and lore NFTs, empowering the community to influence the ongoing narrative. Partner teams select winners for all contests in their spire, retaining control over the direction of their game’s story.
