THE WHEN:
Before web3 knew RWA, we started tokenizing tribes onchain in 2021.
THE WHAT:
Beningin GameFi rewards players for interacting with RWA Tribes.
THE HOW:
Beningin uses blockchain to tokenize real African tribes (GINS) and stories, combining these with GameFi earnings.
RWA = future of blockchain adoption
∴ Tokenize + Preserve culture + GameFi incentives = RWA Adoption
FEATURES OF THE GIN COLLECTIBLES
GINs are non-generative NFTs, the creative and minting process was a manual one. WHY?
Because the colour, fabric, and position of clothing on a GIN's body are specific to their tribe. Randomizing some features would alter the representation of that tribe.
For example, the “Seshweshwe” tribe of Botswana owns the check-patterned blue kilt. If we represented that tribe in any other color, it would be disrespectful to the tribe.
- Every GIN is faceless.
- Every GIN has a halo.
- Every GIN plays in the BENINGIN P2E GAME.
- Every GIN male can fuse with a female GIN and produce a generative GIN.
RARITY LEVELS
The GINs had a system of hierarchy; they respected their clans and served according to their acquired authorities:
- LEGENDARY: The kings and queens were the LEGENDARIES.
- EPIC: The chiefs and chieftess were the EPICs.
- RARE: The priests and priestess were the RAREs.
- UNCOMMON: The soldiers were the UNCOMMONs.
- COMMON: The people were the COMMON.
A fusion of RWA and GameFi mechanics
Where GINs will build their clans, grow them from clans to villages to towns, and then become cities while earning $GIN tokens.

Rarity Supply Calculation
Supply per Character Formula:
Supply per Character = (Number of Rarity Characters / Total Primary Characters) * Total Supply
- Common Rarity Supply:
(9/35) * 490 = 126 Common Characters - Uncommon Rarity Supply:
(7/35) * 490 = 98 Uncommon Characters - Rare Rarity Supply:
(8/35) * 490 = 112 Rare Characters - Epic Rarity Supply:
(5/35) * 490 = 70 Epic Characters - Legendary Rarity Supply:
(5/35) * 490 = 70 Legendary Characters
EpicX Rarity Supply: 14
Total Supply: 490
