Courier

The courier's handbook

Welcome to the planetA tiny town, a bag of letters, and a game that lives on BNB Smart Chain.

Courier World is a little planet you can walk all the way round. You're its courier: pick up letters at the post office, find the right doors, and chat with the people who live there. Behind the town is an on-chain economy: 3,333 Courier NFTs work out of player-run post offices and earn $STAMP, which trades in a Uniswap pool.

Walking about is free and needs nothing but a browser. A wallet on BNB Smart Chain lets you play as your own couriers, run a post office and earn.

Deliveries

You start with three letters. The arrow at the top points to the nearest address, and an envelope floats over its door. Walk up to the door to deliver. When the bag is empty, head back to the post office for more.

Places

Main Street
The post office, houses and shops, and a footbridge over the road.
Seaside
A sandy bay with a lighthouse, a pier and bridges. Wade in, or jump off and swim.
Falls Hill
Waterfalls, a pond, a river to the sea, and stairs up to a hilltop shrine.
Whispering Woods
Tall trees, mushrooms, fireflies at night and a ranger's cabin.
Old Works
Red tanks, pipes, a smoking chimney and a catwalk you can climb.
Neon District
Towers in neon, a hologram plaza, hover cars, a ramen stall and a rocket bound for Mars. Best after dark.
The Orb
A giant LED globe near the main post office, showing ads from other projects. Tap it (or press E beside it) to see one.
Times Square
The town's busiest crossing, on the far side of the planet: towers of giant screens, red steps to sit on, cabs and a tour bus.

Chat

Talk to everyone on the planet in any language: press Enter (or tap πŸ’¬ Tap to chat on a phone), type, and send. Your message shows in the chat box and as a speech bubble over your courier. Text only: links and wallet addresses aren't allowed, so nobody can post scams, and messages are up to 140 characters, one every two seconds. Tap someone's name in the chat box to mute them; the settings (βš™οΈŽ) can hide chat or unmute everyone.

Photos

Tap πŸ“· (or press C) for photo mode. The buttons step aside and the camera is yours: drag to look all the way round, from overhead down to the ground looking up at the sky; scroll or pinch to zoom from the whole planet's curve right in to your courier's eyes. Set the clock to any hour (sunsets are lovely), hide your courier if you like, then press the shutter (or Space) to save the picture, or share it straight from your phone. Press C, Esc or Done to go back to playing.

Your name

Players show as their wallet address (or "Guest"). To pick a name instead, open the Post Office panel, tap ✏️ Pick a name, type 3 to 15 letters, numbers or _, and save: your wallet signs to confirm (free, no transaction). Your name then shows on your name tag, in chat, on your post office and on the leaderboard. Names are first come, first served, and you can change yours once a day (or go back to your wallet address).

Ads on the Orb

The Orb shows paid ads from other projects, each for a set time (several take turns every 20 seconds), and the ad on it also plays on Times Square's big screens. Tapping either opens the ad's card with its website and chart. Every ad is checked by the team before it goes up, but an ad is not an endorsement: always do your own research before you buy anything or connect your wallet. Want your project on the Orb? DM @PlayCourierWld on X.

Golden stamps

Twenty-four golden stamps are hidden round the planet. Some float at arm's height, some only a jump reaches, and a few sit up high: on the hill, the pier, the catwalk and the footbridge. Your count shows in the top bar. When the treasury runs a $STAMP drop they pay $STAMP: see Treasure hunt.

The moon and Mars

The rocket in the neon district is the Space Express. Stand by it and press E (or tap Hi), then pick where to fly:

Both have letters: the post box by the landing pad (the Moon Post, the Mars Post) hands you three letters for the locals, and the arrow at the top shows the way to each. They count toward your deliveries. Both also have twelve golden stamps out every day, some only a big jump reaches, that count with your golden stamps (paid by the same $STAMP drop, when the treasury runs one). Couriers on the same world see and chat with each other. Walk up to anyone and press E to chat.

A ticket is sent from your wallet to the Courier World treasury and lasts an hour: fly home any time from the rocket by the landing pad, and the rocket brings you home when it runs out. You need to be logged in and signed in to the hunt (a free signature) so the game's server can check your ticket. Your ticket survives a reload: fly back from the neon district.

Days pass every 12 minutes, showers roll over now and then, and the town's people wave, chat and go about their day.

Couriers3,333 NFTs with fully on-chain art.

Every courier has a look and a ride, fixed at the reveal by a secret committed before the mint, so nobody could snipe the rare ones. The art is drawn on-chain as a postage stamp: its value shows the courier's delivery power, a badge shows its level, and an ON DUTY postmark appears while it works. Log in with a wallet that holds couriers and you play as one.

The mint is over. Couriers trade on OpenSea, with a 5% royalty on sales. A courier on duty can't be transferred until you take it off duty.

Courier Skins999 limited outfits and rides to wear in the game.

Skins change how you look, to you and to every player around you. They never change what you earn: $STAMP only comes from couriers on duty at post offices. Mint them in the Post office panel, then press Wear on one you own.

Post officesPut couriers to work and collect $STAMP.

Open a post office for 0.005 BNB. It comes with a trainee courier (60 power) who starts work straight away, so you can earn before you own an NFT. Put your own couriers on duty to add their power. Each office has a number of desks (couriers on duty at once) and routes; faster rides use more routes.

Upgrades go one tier at a time, with a 24-hour wait between them. Collect your $STAMP whenever you like from the post office panel.

Invite friends: when someone opens an office with your invite, you get 2.5% of what their office collects (taken from their share).

LevelsTrain a courier for more power.

Couriers go from level 1 to 10. Each level adds +12% to its base power, so a level 10 courier has 2.08Γ— the power it started with. Training costs 25 Γ— levelΒ² $STAMP, and levels stay with the NFT if it changes hands.

$STAMPThe town's token: 21 million, ever.

Supply
21,000,000 cap. 2.1M opened the trading pool; the other 18.9M are earned by post offices.
Emissions
2.25 $STAMP every block (one every 1.1 s, about 176,700 a day), shared by delivery power.
Halvings

Spending
Of $STAMP spent in the game (upgrades, training), 75% is burned and 25% goes to the treasury.

Your share of each block's reward is your offices' delivery power over everyone's.

Nothing here is financial advice. Tokens can lose value; only trade what you're happy to lose.

LaunchpadLaunch your own token, right in Times Square.

Tokens are made by players, not by Courier World. Most go to zero: do your own research. Tokens that copy the game's own names or break the rules aren't shown in the game, but still trade on-chain.

Treasure huntReal tokens scattered round the planet as coins.

The tokens come from the Courier World treasury (5% of every Launchpad launch). Drops are funded only by the treasury, which can pause claims if anything looks wrong. Reviewed by IMD Swarm: read the audit.
