Good morning, everyone.
I’m still feeling a bit sluggish from the fever — it’s been a while since I felt this way, and I really don’t like it.
I hope you’re all in good health, and for anyone who’s feeling unwell like me, I pray you recover quickly. May God bless you.
MOONKART WHITEPAPER
After doing some research online, I finally found the MoonKart Whitepaper, which provides a detailed explanation of how the game works.
MoonKarts is essentially a car racing game built on the Web3 HIVE platform. What really caught my attention is that it follows a Play-to-Earn model, allowing players to enjoy the game while also earning money by participating in the game's blockchain-based economy.
For those already familiar with HIVE NFT games like @Splinterlands, @risingstar, and others, the concept will feel familiar. Just like in those games, you can upgrade your drivers and car parts in MoonKarts — meaning every player can own and build a unique car. MORE INFO HERE
THIS IS SOME INFO FOR BEGINNER LIKE ME
This is exactly the information I was looking for when I first discovered the game. All of the details I’ve shared here were gathered from the whitepaper. I highly recommend reading it yourself if you want to learn more — there’s a lot more info there than I could cover here.
The first stuff that you need is of course a @hive account and i believe everyone who read this already have one . If you dont have , feel free to make one using my referal :

INTRODUCTION TO KARTS AND PARTS
All information and screenshoot SOURCE
This is screenshort for SINGLE PLAYER MODE
Basically, you need both a kart and a player to participate in the game. Power-ups and tech cards are used to enhance your car’s performance. Think of it like starting with a basic factory model — then adding modifications and upgrades from the outside to boost its speed, handling, and overall power.

THE TECH CARDS or CAR PARTS

Having specific NFT in this game can lead our car to victory but before getting those item we as the driver need to know what it can be used , how much it can help and of course our budget to buy those card through market and opening new cards . It was just like in real life that making dream car was a long term process and i believe that kind of mind set can be use in this game .
