How Peptype Works

The Browser Extension as the Core Game Layer

Peptype is built around a browser extension rather than a separate game client. According to the documentation, the extension combines wallet functionality with integrated game mechanics and acts as the main interaction layer for the entire product.No separate application or website is required for the core gameplay flow.

This design makes the browser itself the place where gameplay happens. The extension UI handles player interaction, while validation and reward logic are handled by backend services and smart contracts.

Starting With a Typer

The gameplay loop begins when a player mints a Typer. The documentation describes minting a Typer as the entry point into Peptype, giving the player an NFT character, a progression state, and an on-chain identity that evolves alongside real internet activity.

From that point on, the Typer becomes the core unit of progression inside the ecosystem. It is not only a character, but also the player's main in-game asset and identity layer.

Activity Becomes Progression

When the Peptype extension is active, an on-screen Typer remains visible and follows browsing activity across supported websites. The documentation states that the Typer reacts to signals such as typing, clicking, and general page interaction.

These activity signals are counted and used for game progression. Instead of relying only on short isolated sessions, Peptype converts ongoing online activity into an always-running progression system.

Energy Generation

Energy is one of the core resources in Peptype. The documentation states that energy is generated through typing activity while the browser extension is active and the player has an active Typer.

Energy can be spent on upgrading and leveling up a Typer, as well as sending a Typer on raids. Each Typer can generate only a limited amount of energy per day, and once that daily limit is reached, the player must wait until the next day unless the Typer levels up.

Leveling and Upgrades

Upgrades are a core progression mechanic in Peptype. According to the documentation, each upgrade increases a Typer's level by +1, takes a fixed amount of time, and costs energy plus tokens.

After an upgrade is completed, the Typer gains the new level and its daily energy limit is refreshed. Multiple Typers can be upgraded in parallel if a player owns more than one, but a single Typer cannot begin a second upgrade while it is already upgrading.

At specific milestones, Typers gain additional maximum energy. The listed milestone levels are 5, 10, 20, and 30.

Rarity and Efficiency

Peptype uses rarity as part of its progression model. The documentation states that each Typer is assigned a rarity tier at generation, and that rarity affects probability, starting advantages, and the efficiency of energy generation through typing activity.

Higher-rarity Typers require fewer interactions to generate energy. The documentation provides a reference table showing that Common Typers require 10,000 typing actions for 1 energy, while Legendary Typers require 5,000 typing actions for 1 energy and also receive 1 additional energy.

In-Extension Wallet Model

Peptype also includes an in-extension wallet system. The documentation states that an external wallet is used only during the initial profile creation process.

During setup, a new in-extension wallet is generated locally, and after that, regular gameplay and on-chain interactions are executed using the extension-generated wallet. The documentation further states that Peptype is non-custodial: private keys are created locally, and the Peptype team does not have access to user private keys.
