CryptoLand is a play-to-earn strategy game on the XRP Ledger blockchain. Players own NFT Land plots on Mount CryCor and Avatar characters called Cryptopians. Land generates daily CRYPTO income through rent collection, while Avatars perform actions like mining, governing, raiding, and crafting to earn additional rewards.

How do I earn money in CryptoLand?

There are multiple earning methods: Land ownership provides passive daily rent (0.3-3.0 CRYPTO depending on level). Nobles earn from the Tax Pool, Army avatars earn from the Thieve Pool and raiding, Miners extract ore, and Artisans craft equipment to sell.

Why is CryptoLand on XRP Ledger instead of Ethereum?

XRP Ledger offers near-zero transaction fees (under $0.01 vs $5-50+ on Ethereum), 3-5 second confirmation times, and proven reliability since 2012. This means you keep more of your earnings instead of losing them to gas fees.

How much does it cost to start playing CryptoLand?

Entry costs vary based on what you buy. Level 1 Land is the most affordable entry point for passive income. You'll also need a small amount of XRP for the wallet reserve (~10 XRP) and negligible transaction fees.

Like all crypto investments, CryptoLand carries risks including token value fluctuation and market volatility. Your NFTs are secured on the XRP Ledger blockchain. Only invest what you can afford to lose and use secure wallet practices.

Step 1: Set Up Your XRP Wallet

Before buying anything in CryptoLand, you need a compatible XRP Ledger wallet.

Recommended Wallets

Wallet	Type	Best For	Setup Time
XUMM	Mobile App	Most users (Recommended)	5 minutes

GemWallet	Browser Extension	Chrome users	5 minutes

See our complete Wallet Setup Guide for detailed instructions.

Fund Your Wallet

Purchase XRP from an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Uphold, etc.)

Click “Connect Wallet” in the top navigation
Select your wallet type (XUMM, Crossmark, etc.)
Approve the connection request in your wallet app

Security tip: Always verify the URL. Bookmark the official site to avoid phishing scams. See our Scams to Avoid guide.

Step 3: Choose What to Buy

Lands vs Avatars: What Should You Buy First?

Asset Type	Starting Price	Complexity	Recommended For
Land	~10-50 XRP	Simple	Beginners (Recommended)
Avatars	~5-100+ XRP	Complex	After learning mechanics

Our recommendation: Start with Land. It’s simpler (just collect rent), has lower tax rates, and no theft risk. See our Land vs Avatar comparison.

Choosing Your First Land

Lands are ranked Level 1-10, with higher levels producing more CRYPTO:

Level 1-3 Lands: Affordable entry, lower returns
Level 4-6 Lands: Balanced purchase
Level 7-10 Lands: Premium purchase, highest returns

Check our Best Land to Buy Guide for current recommendations.

Step 4: Make Your Purchase

Browse the marketplace for available listings
Click on a land or avatar you want to buy
Review the price and details
Click “Buy Now”
Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Wait for blockchain confirmation (usually under 5 seconds on XRP Ledger)

Transaction Fees

XRP Ledger transactions cost approximately 0.00001 XRP—essentially free compared to Ethereum gas fees.

Step 5: Start Earning

Once you own land or avatars, you can start earning CRYPTO:

Land owners: Collect rent daily through the “Harvest” action
Avatar owners: Perform class-specific actions (Mine, Govern, Thieve, etc.)
