The Web3 Future: Transforming Art Into Digital Assets
When Akasha launches, digital artists will be able to publish their works on the Akasha blockchain. Once the cards exist in Akasha’s digital library, onboarding them as phygital NFTs will become a technical rollout—not a creative bottleneck.
The 78 archetypes of tarot will add richness to gameplay through new symbolism. Each digital artist will develop symbols aligned with the comprehensive set of meanings Akasha has established for each archetype. These symbols will deepen in complexity over time as collectors engage with each card and uncover meaningful coincidences in their daily lives, creating a truly practical tool for personal development.
Archai
In contemporary society, there is often a tendency to overlook the significance of myths and archetypes, resulting in a failure to connect daily experiences with the universal themes that permeate mythology and religion. Developing a mythological perspective begins with cultivating an awareness of these archetypes in everyday existence, recognizing the distinct archetypal forces that shape one’s personal life and the course of world history. By embracing the mythic and archetypal dimensions of existence, individuals can establish a conscious relationship with the deeper forces of the cosmos, thereby enriching their experience of a more meaningful universe.
Archai, the Card of the Day feature in Akasha’s gaming ecosystem, will be designed to generate personalized games for each collector, allowing them to internalize the keywords and meanings of the cards. Game generation that is prompted by the Archai feature will operate like an intuitive storyteller, spontaneously building out gameplay experiences beginning with a single archetype and inviting discovery and surprise rather than requiring explicit user direction.
Akasha will use engagement signals — like a collector’s interaction with the Card of the Day — as the trigger, then will dynamically compose:
– Narrative arcs aligned with the card’s symbolic them
– Game mechanics that express the core psychological or mythic tension of the archetype
– Visual themes and emotional tones evoking the mood and tone of the card
– Genre (e.g., puzzle, dream exploration, social RPG).
Dynamic Gaming
Each card becomes a specialized game generator that creates experiences aligned with its card meaning. Collectors aren’t just collecting cards; they’re collecting entire experiential frameworks. This gaming ecosystem becomes less about “what game do I want to play?” and more about “what aspect of human experience do I want to explore and master?” This is a powerful shift: from games as static products designed and launched, to games as living, dynamically generated experiences.
Example: The 3 of Wands traditionally represents forward planning, expansion, and long-term vision – perfect for strategic exploration games.
- Personalized Game Mode: Generates exploration scenarios aligned with the gamer’s insights, skill progression, or journal entries.
- Legacy Game Mode: Generates curated scenarios from previous owners with embedded strategic insights.
- Co-Generation and Competition Mode: Allows the collector to collaborate with other gamers to create shared exploration challenges or compete in real-time.
Advantages of Meaning-Centered Gaming
Instead of reading keywords on flashcards, players live the card’s qualities in the context of the game — feeling the tension of “collapse” in The Tower or the patience of the 7 of Pentacles through gameplay challenges. This emotional and experiential encoding makes the meanings memorable on a deeper level.
When players actively make decisions, solve puzzles, or overcome scenarios rooted in the card’s archetype, they are practicing those qualities in context. This kind of learning by doing is far more durable than rote memorization.
Because the games are generated based on the player’s Card of the Day — tailored to their current energy, mood, or growth path — the experience feels personally relevant. This personal connection helps players see these archetypal qualities as alive in themselves and in their real-world experiences.
The stories and emotional arcs triggered by the game make the keywords stick. When a player later encounters a situation in life, the emotional memory of that gameplay can cue recognition of the corresponding card quality naturally.
Each day’s game is different — new mechanics, genres, or themes — but always aligned to the card’s essence. This variety keeps the learning fresh and fun, while repeatedly reinforcing the archetype’s core keywords.
Some generated games might include social or reflective components, encouraging players to share insights or journal experiences related to the card’s themes, further deepening understanding.
