# Terries

### 🐣 What's a Terry?

Terries are the core avatars of the weRate ecosystem. They represent your identity, your progression, and the way you interact with the GameFi layer of the platform.

*Your collectible companions that grow as you explore the real world.*

Every Terry has its own rarity, traits, and growth path and every action you take on weRate helps your Terry evolve.

Terries turn your real-world exploration into meaningful progression.
