Dragobits are [ERC-721 compatible](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-721/) NFTs, with both their traits and artwork stored 100% on-chain. By default, each Dragobit has three visual traits: Atmosphere, Platform, and Species. For example, the second image above (middle) shows a Dragobit with Atmosphere: *Devil*; Platform: *Alien*; and Species: *Bitcoin*.
To mint a Dragobit, you must spend some ETH or the respective native gas token of the chain you’re playing on. The exact fees are documented in the [deployment](/deployments/recent-deployment.md) chapter, where you can find the specific fee for each deployed instance of the game.
100% of the mint fee (after optional [art upgrade](/getting-started/art-upgrades.md) & [referral](/getting-started/referrals.md) deductions) is swapped on-chain for an ERC-20 token through a third-party DEX like [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/). The [ERC-20](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20/) are then partially attached to the minted Dragobit and partially sent to a [special vault](/getting-started/quickstart/publish-your-docs.md#mint-boost). This process is fully decentralized. By choosing to mint, you are interacting with a protocol, not a centralized game. The game does not require a custom backend and can instead operate with an open-source graph instance that reads public on-chain events. All contracts, the needed subgraph and the initial frontend are open source.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Dragobits game can be deployed by anyone without permission and can use any ERC-20 token. Check the deployment chapter to see which token each deployment is based on.
