The post Daiko to launch a blockchain-based Virtual Pet to bring real-world dog care into gaming appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

We live in a time where our lives are increasingly intertwined with smart devices and digital experiences, and innovators like Daiko are taking the canine-human bond to the next level. Set for a 2026 debut, the Daiko’s Virtual Pet morphs your real-world dog care routine into an immersive, gamified digital experience that grows, learns, and plays alongside you. Your Dog’s Digital Twin At its heart, Daiko’s Virtual Pet ‘is a true digital twin of your dog, surpassing the standard static avatar by (dog) miles. You begin by selecting your dog’s breed, coat color, size, and even personality quirks. Whether your furry digital friend is a mischievous explorer or a cuddle enthusiast that mirrors your real-world companion down to the wag of the tail. Through the Daiko app, you’ll get continuous  feedback, displayed via intuitive mood indicators, such as energetic, happy, sleepy, or even a bit grumpy. Skip a routine feeding or grooming, and you’ll receive a friendly reminder to show your real-life pup some love. Consistency unlocks mood upgrades, too. If you manage to hit a week of daily walks, your virtual dog might sport an extra spring in its step or reward you with a loving, playful zoomie animation. And that isn’t the only reward. Real Walks, Virtual Rewards The Daiko Smart Leash turns every outing into points which can be converted into DAIKO tokens. DAIKO tokens can then be spent on virtual assets for your virtual pet or physical items in our Daiko Store. For walks, points start accumulating through a simple tap of your phone or smartwatch off of the Daiko Smart Leash. Your phone tracks distance, pace, and duration, while in-app logs capture meals, treats, grooming sessions, play, and vet check-ins. Every action moves you closer to new levels, badges, points, digital goodies, and DAIKO tokens.…
