Every Vehicle NFT has four Gem Sockets in which you can mount a Gem.

Gem Sockets can have one of four colors: red, green, yellow, or blue, and the color of each Socket is randomly determined when a Vehicle is created. Vehicles can have multiple Sockets with the same color.

The Sockets are initially locked and cannot be equipped with Gems, but each time the Vehicle reaches a certain level, one gets unlocked and available to mount a Gem. For more details about level-up process, refer to the [\[Level page\]](https://docs.perplay.io/perplay-whitepaper/game-fi/nft/level).

Each Socket can only be mounted with a Gem of color that matches the color of the Socket.

Vehicles have a Plus Mark which can be used as a special Gem Socket of rainbow color in addition to the four basic Gem Sockets. It is opened at the initial state, and a Rainbow Gem Socket can be freely mounted with a Gem of any color. The Gem in the Rainbow Socket will have a twice effect value than the original one.&#x20;
