What is DOTphin?

Deep below the surface of the Polkadot ecosystem—the elusive DOTphin, an echo of nature, evolves into new, playful, mythological forms. In this trailblazing, Polkadot community-supported initiative, brought to life by Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI), Unique Network, and WalletConnect, a collectible digital companion grows and changes to provide a dynamic proof of holders’ ongoing engagement with tech events around the world. This project connects playful Pokemon-like evolutionary play with collectible PoPs (Proofs of Presence) to engage our community with a meaningful ecological narrative.

AN ECO-EVOLVING AVATAR

This playfully evolving marine mammal starts as a mysterious embryonic egg, then morphs through five unique phases, each linked to real world ecological data from SNI’s conservation partner Aquasearch.
SUSTAINABILITY

We are connecting engagement to real world animals. Your participation supports and fosters marine biodiversity conservation efforts, using cutting-edge AI systems to interpret the songs of male humpback whales.
REAL WORLD UTILITY

Prove your presence and your engagement and get rewarded for it. Unlock exclusive treats, surprise rewards, and special activities. Show off your community participation and support for marine wildlife.

The DOTphin Eco-Evolution

Emerging from the deep sea, DOTphin evolves the more you participate in community events.

Do you have what it takes to go all the way?
Would you sing along the whale's songs?

Orbo, the primordial Orb

Legend tells it will grow one day into the fabled DOTphin, a powerful marine mammal capable of deep, and we mean deep, interspecies communication.
Nix, the Intelligent Nixie

A bright, playful spark of oceanic intelligence, shimmering with youth and ready to connect the seas like never before!
Naia, the Naiad Dolphin

A sleek mystery. A water spirit that senses with electroreception. This phase of the DOTphin represents a mastery of marine mammal linguistics.

Our real-world impact

Decoding whale songs

Aquasearch is revolutionising whale conservation by using AI to decode humpback whale songs and map their migration across the North Atlantic. They're analysing thousands of hours of vocalisations through advanced bioacoustics techniques, visualising them as spectrograms to track whale movements and social interactions. This innovative approach helps us understand how whales communicate, adapt to changing environments, and respond to threats like noise pollution and climate change. By partnering with international marine researchers, their findings will shape crucial conservation strategies and influence global policies to protect these magnificent creatures and their ecosystems.
