1 Introduction

1.1 GLOBAL DIGITAL CLUSTER COIN

Creates an open blockchain platform for re-al-time metaverse and digital-twin. In the near future, the metaverse will become the mainstream of the virtual space that succeeds the Internet. The metaverse of the future will be very similar to reality, and human avatars with AI (Artificial Intelligence) will live together in it as in the novel Snow Crash. GDCC is building the core blockchain platform and planning to introduce to the world a platform that supports augmented, virtually extended, and mixed reality applications based on the foundation technology that is absolutely necessary in the new metaverse world

1.2 What is the “Metaverse”?

The word metaverse is unfamiliar, but meta means “topmost” and verse means “world”. In other words, it is “all the world perceived as a higher level”. The metaverse combines four categories: AR (Augmented Reality), Mirror World, lifelogging (the act of recording one’s daily life with a portable camera or digital device), and Virtual World. The word metaverse comes from Neal Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash. The word that comes with this word is the avatar.

The metaverse has the potential to grow strongly. Artificial intelligence (Al) has also grown tremendously after 75 years of not seeing the light, thanks to the development of deep learning and hardware created by Jeffrey Hinton in 2012. The metaverse will go the same way. Market research firm Gartner also referred to the term “multi-experience” in 10 strategic technologies released last year, highlighting the need to pay attention to the interactions taking place in the metaverse. Recently, Nreal, a startup in Beijing, China, launched AR Glass, and LG Uplus (Top3 operator in Korea) imported 1000 units of this product and sold it for 699,000 Korean Won. Sold out in an instant. That much interest. Oculus device by Facebook is also supporting the great popularity of metaverse. The price has become very cheap, and the display performance has improved. It is expected that Apple will create an important impact in a similar way as the smartphone ecosystem is universal. Facebook is also conducting a wide variety of AR & VR research in an organization called “”Reality Lab”.

Projects like AR Glass “Aria” were also released. Apple has been talking about the launch of AR Glass for a long time. Now we are seoing the harbinger of the AR and VR era. The same goes for companies. In the case of smart factories, AR is used a lot in management, control, and operations. It is also widely used in the field of logistics. VR is widely used in the fields of education and sports. In a game called Fortnite developed by Epic Games, American hip-hop singer Travis Scott made his own avatar and held a concert. There were 12.3 million people who enjoyed it together. There are various attempts in the media, including the New York Times. It is also famous for Domino’s Pizza to allow customers to order their own pizza through the AR world. The future of metaverse is the future of connection. The future of connection will create endless opportunities by expanding our lives, content, and space.

1.3 Metaverse Market Environment

The emergence of the AR & VR world has long been extensively covered by movies and novels. In particular, since the appearance of smartphones in the 2000s, the AR sector has seen a variety of technologies and services that use smartphone cameras to recognize texts, faces, images, and objects, or overlay digital 3D images onto particular areas. However, these technologies all involve multiple technical issues in respect of the completeness of the hardware and software technologies involved and the UX (User Experience). In contrast to the AR sector, the development of the VR sector has been led by major console game companies and such companies had already produced a variety of concept products since the 1990s.

However, the real growth in the VR market segment was ushered in by the variety of VR devices, platforms, and content released to the market from the mid-2000s as consequences of acquisitions of the relevant VR technology and hardware companies by IT industry giants including Facebook, Samsung, and Google

In particular, Facebook acquired Oculus VR, ie, the company behind the success of Oculus Rift, in 2014 for the astronomical sum of USD 2 billion, thereby ushering in the era of VR for the masses. Subsequent to such purchase, Facebook attempted to combine the technologies of Oculus VR with Facebook’s powerful content platform. Furthermore, with Samsung’s release of their low-cost VR device, the Gear VR, even greater anticipotion was formed in the market for the imminent arrival of the mass-market VR era. However. despite the astronomical investments into the VR sector by major IT companies and the releases of a variety of VR devices that are cheaper than ever before, the VR market is experiencing stunted growth. This prompted Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg to even announce that the company will foous more on the AR market than the VR market going forward from 2017 at the F8 2017, the largest annual meeting of Facebook There are multiple reasons why Facebook announced its intent to shift its focus to the AR market from the VR market where it had made significant investments. In July of 2016, Niantic, an American company founded by former Google employees, released the augmented reality (AR) game application Pokemon Go. This game used the long-beloved Pokemon characters together with smartphone cameras to permit users to capture the aforementionea characters that exist in their surroundings, resulting in global revenues of over USD 1 billion in just seven (7) months after release. Until the explosive success of Pokemon Go, augmented reality (AR) apps were merely provided as tech demos; however, the record-breaking commercial success of this app had truly opened the gate for the beginning of the AR era. Market research institutions are also predicting greater growth in the AR and VR market to boom to s170 bilion by 2020. Heio Garrelfs, a Sector Prinicipal at Hampleton Partners said that “The new reality for many businesses will involve augmented, virtual and mixed reality technologies to increase efficiency and improve customer service and employee engagement.Progress is slower than the optimists had hoped, yet it seems to be stronger and more sustainable than the pessimists predicted. The reality is that many businesses now need to have a full AR/VR strategy to ensure they are not left behind .The metaverse combines four categories: AR, Mirror World, and Virtual World. The growth of the AR VR market is expected to be an unstoppable trend for building metaverse. Moreover, the emergence of the glasses and the combination of AR VR technologies with AI (Artificial Intelligence) will make AR VR become an indispensable part of our daily lives

Why should we pay attention to ‘Metaverse’ now?

1. Hardware w/GPU performance improved dramatically
2. Connectivity w/zero margin cost and faster speed
3. Everything on the cloud. storage, app stores, and communities
4. Camera, sensors, and Haptics for context-awareness technology improvement
5. Al for vision, recognition, simulation, and decision technology improvement
6. Familiarity with remote and social interaction due to coronavirus pandemic
7. Price for tipping

As a means to ensure that the benefits of the high-growth metaverse market is shared by all participants, our team firmly believes that a blockchain currency provides the most upside as a compensatory tool, which could be introduced for fair compensation based on blockchain technology and contribution by the participants. Under blockchain-based compensation system, the metaverse market can grow in a healthier and more organic manner

1.4. Our Vision

01 To increase the financial dependence and freedom of digital assets by providing unparalleled decentralized financial services
02 To make Global digital chain coin one of the eminent networks in the world with a complete ecosystem of DeFi and NFT services

1.5. Our Mission

01 To empower innovators to use our world-class protocol to develop scalable and user-friendly decentralized applications
02 blockchains into a unified ecosystem with To connect the whole network of purpose-built high-end security standards

1.6. Objective

To develop an NFT based gaming platform that facilitates users to grow and experience virtual reality by making users interact with other users through peer-to-peer relationships

The virtual reality platform allows users to play virtual plots of land that can be bought and sold similar to the real estate process. Allows users to play games and join different events in the virtual world

2. The story behind Global Digital City’s creation of the Global digital Cluster Coin

(GDCC) – is a blockchain-based virtual reality platform. Content and applications can be created, experienced, and monetized by users. The community owns the land in Global Digital City provides them full authority over their projects. Users claim ownership of virtual land on a blockchain-based parcel ledger. The material that is published to their section of the property is identifiable by a set of cartesian coordinates (x.y) within the control of landowners. The contents can vary from static 3D scenes to dynamic systems like games. In the land of NFT, transferable digital assets are kept in GDCC smart contracts. It can be obtained by exchanging VRT which is known to be a GDCC20 token. For producing in-world purchases of digital goods and services, VRT can be utilized. People spend more time on virtual for both work and free time. This causes 2D interfaces like the web and mobile phones. On the other hand, a traversable 3D world offers an immersive element
and proximity to other content allowing for physical clusters of communities

The global digital city is building a unique virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using VRT, the main utility token of the platform

3.Blockchain Gaming with NFTs

Global Digital City virtual world uses blockchain technology and NFTs to empower the players and creators. NFTs are an emerging segment in the global game market: virtual tokens for digital scarcity, security, and authenticity. Each NFT is distinct or unique, it is indivisible and it is not interchangeable for another.

Through the use of NFTs, Global Digital city users will be able to benefit from :

TRUE DIGITAL OWNERSHIP :

Gamors are the true and porpotual ownors of thoir digital itoms, oven if the game was shut down or abandoned. With blockchain, every game itom can be tokenized, allowing gamers to decide how they want to trade, sell, or gift their items.

SECURITY AND IMMUTABILITY :

Digital game items can be easily tokenized and traded in primary and secondary markets that are managed and facilitated by blockchain technology. Items based on scarcity and demand usually invite fraud and theft, but these risks are minimized on blockchain because it is a distributed ledger.

TRADING :

Blockchain-based gaming platforms can provide users with ultimate control over their digital assets. They can buy and sell items freely without concern that they will be ripped off or that a platform will close and cancel all the value of their in-game item.

CROSS-APPLICATION INTEROPERABILITY :

Blockchain provides the capacity for games to utilize shared assets. ASSETS, avatars, LANDS, and any other game elements can be used in other games that allow it. These game items are no longer confined by a narrow digital ecosystem.

Global Digital City metaverse uses several tokens to create a circular economy between all the profiles of users who will interact with its platform namely the players, creators, curators, and LAND owners. These are the LANDS, ASSETS and VRT, a token based on the GDCC20 protocol which will act as the official currency in the ecosystem when purchasing goods and services within the game marketplace (amongst other rights)

4. Challenges Faced

01 . Purchasing virtual land carried its own set of risks. The majority of investors, both corporate and individual, own virtual land to produce income or to follow their favorite star.

02 . Retail investors are advised not to do so since virtual land only has value when there is a ready buyer willing to pay a price, according to analysts

03 . If the price of virtual land declines unexpectedly, they may forfeit all of their investments, For instance, not every section of the metaverse is fully occupied. Some places such as the Fashion District in Genesis plaza WonderMine crafting and others are bustling with people and business while others are deserted.

5. Key pillars of our virtual NFT GDC PLATFORM

Avatars: Create a digital avatar for each number to welcome them into your virtual Iand. Enable them to choose their own style. Permit them to purchase unique clothing and accessories to create a spectacular outfit. Each item they purchase is an NfT token that will be linked to their wallet which will be a trendy digital version of the individual

Builder: What could the citizens do with the barren lands? Letting them use their creative skills in their areas will provide them with something interesting. They can construct structures, develop forests, villas, theme parks, beach cottages, and so on

Marketplace : Every country requires a marketplace to buy and sell goods. Our decentralized 3D virtual reality platform features a wide range of accessories to help users decorate their digital archetypes as well as prebuilt scenarios for building constructions, land parcels, and more. In the marketplace, individuals around the world can buy and sell these traits

Decentraland autonomous organization -DAO : We are making a 2D environment that is fully decentralized. And it can not be done unless you are DAO. Give the residents of this fantastic virtual world complete control. As a result, the platform celebrates the free market and empowers individuals to make decisions based on their own experiences

6.Metamask wallet connect

Overview MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet for interacting with the GDDC network. It creates a user-friendly connection between your web browser and the GDCC blockchain which serves as the host network for numerous decentralized applications (dApps). Users can store
GDCC or any other GDCC20 token created on the GDCC network and then use that cryptocurrency with their preferred dApp. MetaMask is a browser extension and mobile app that provides you with a key vault, secure login, token wallet, and token exchange as well as everything else you need to handle your digital assets. Although it is mostly used to interface with the GDCC blockchain, it can also be used to communicate with other blockchains

6.1. Connecting Metamask By Walletconnect

WalletConnect is a valuable tool for connecting crypto wallets to decentralized applications. WalletConnect is an open-source technology that allows mobile wallets to access to dApps. It is a more secure way to use dApps than desktop and browser-based wallets such as MetaMask. It serves as a link between dApps and the wallet to which you want to attach them.

6.2. Benefits of MetaMask

User-friendly interface Cryptowallet can be scary to both beginners and professionals. Some of the ones that are available are difficult to use and navigate. Metamask provides a simple and initiative user interface. This makes it an excellent wallet for those who are just getting
started with cryptocurrencies. A large database for users MetaMask has a user base of over 10 milion users. While the value of a wallet is not determined by popularity, the metamask can be trusted

The wallet is steadily increasing. The capability to use a mobile app GDCC wallet is recognized for imitating browsers more than anything. This provides a quick and easy way of accessing your cryptocurrency. It also has a smartphone app which adds to the ease. This implies that
users can access their wallets at any time and from any location.Customer service Your cryptocurrencies are valuable assets and you need to know that any potential issues will be resolved at speed and with ease. Metamask offers greatcustomer service to its users. As well as
an insightful introduction video there is also an extensive frequently asked questions section to explore. Levels of security It is uncommon for crypto holders to lose their funds due to hacking. This is a common issue for investors, so they look for a safe and socure place to put their
money. MetaMask has high security and has never been the victim of a significant hack.

7. Global Digital City- Ecosystem

We are using the GDCC blockchain for creating the token. Global Digital Cluster Coin is a blockchain protocol that allows anyone to develop their own decentralized applications and code immutable smart contracts. The EVM (Etheroum Virtual Machine) compatibility of the Global Digital Cluster Coin protocol will make it easy for developers to build dApps in line with the prominent blockchain networks in the space. In addition to blockchain, GDCC will have its own decentralized exchange and NFT marketplace to provide seamless services to the crypto community. The whole ecosystem is powered by $GDCC, the native coin of the platform. $GDCC stands as alucrative asset due to its outstanding utilities and remarkable benefits that it provides to the holders

GLOBAL DIGITAL CITY is a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experionces in the GDCC blockchain using (Virtual Ride Token) VRT, the platform’s utility token. Our vision is to offer a deoply immersive metaverse in which players will create virtual worlds and games collaboratively and without a central authority. We are aiming to disrupt the existing game makers to provide creators true ownership of their creations as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and reward their participation with our utility token – VRT. In the current game market, the centralized ownership and control of user-generated content limit creator rights and ownership. Central control over the trading of virtual goods created by players restricts them from generating fair value for their creations. Compounding this, it can be difficult to prove creative ownership of works, especially as content is copied, altered, and built upon

With GLOBAL DIGITAL CITY, we aim to overcome these limitations while accelerating blockchain adoption to grow the blockchain gaming market by using VRT. This copyright ownership will be established and guaranteed through the use of NFTs, where every in-game item will
have a unique and immutable blockchain identifier

MARKETPLACE : Global digital city web-based marketplace allows users to upload, publish, and sell their creations (ASSETS) made in GDCC BLOCKCHAIN as Tokens(Both GDCC-721 and GDCC-1155 tokens)

GAME MAKER : Anyone who owns ASSETS, either by making them or purchasing them, can utilize them with the third and most important ecosystem product, the Game Maker and the Game itself. This product, when launched in Game Maker mode, enables users to place and use their ASSETS within a piece of LAND (a GDCC-721 token) that they can own in the virtual world. Users can decorate their LAND with ASSETS, and more importantly, implement interesting and nuanced gamoplay mechanics by assigning predefined behaviors to the ASSETS through visual scripting nodes, turning a LAND from a decoration experience into a potential full game experience

Additional special features included in our GDCC such as

1. Social features

The users can enrich their building NFT by purchasing social media add-ons as special ability NFTs. This will facilitate the user to display their twitter/insta/facebook wall as live feed inside their NFT buildings.

9. What is VRT and what are the use cases

VRT is an essential part of the GLOBAL DIGITAL CITY platform and GDC are working on establishing key mechanics that make it intrinsically tied to The GDC platform and its value. VRT is a GDCC-20 utility token built on the GDCC blockchain that serves as the basis for transactions within GLOBAL DIGITAL CITY, and has the following uses

Access The GDC platform

Players spend VRT in order to play games, buy equipment, or customize their Avatar character-and can potentially collect VRT through gameplay. Creators spend VRT to acquire ASSETS, LANDS, and through Staking. LAND Sales drive demand for VRT to purchase LANDS. Artists spend VRT to upload ASSETS to the Marketplace and buy Gems for defining Rarity and Scarcity.

1. Staking VRT allows for staking, which allows for passive revenues on LANDS: you get more VRT by staking it. This is also the only way to get valuable Gems and Catalysts, needed for ASSET creation.Fee Capture model = 5% of all transaction volume carried out in VRT tokens (Transaction Fees) shall be allocated with 50% to the Staking Pool as rewards for token holders that Stake VRT tokens and 50% to the DEVELOPMENT TEAM

2.Advertising Billboards nearby or in high traffic land parcels can be used by brands to promote their products, events, and services. Some neighborhoods may become virtual replicas of New York city’s time square. Marketers can position items and create a shared experience in a way to involves their audience

3.Digital collectibles Users will be able to publish, distribute, and collect rare digital assets created by their creators on the blockchain. These digital assets will be exchanged inside this world using the programming system and backed by the aforementioned naming system much as they are now in other virtual worlds or via internet forums

4.Social groups Social groups that presently congregate in online forums, chat rooms, or even centralized multiplayer games could migrate to GDCC. It could also provide a gathering place for offline groups. Other use cases- What can be built in GDCC doesnothave any technical limitations. As a result, new applications such as training and professional development, education, 3D design, virtual tourism, and gathering may develop

PHASE 1

LAND and the LANDS Map LANDS are blockchain-backed virtual tokens (using the GD-CC-721 standard for NFTs) representing physical parcels of the GDC Metaverse. They allow players to own a portion of the Metaverse and thus be able to host content (ASSETS and GAMES). GDC Metaverse is based on a map of (25 maps) LANDS (1 lakh lands).

LANDS are physical spaces in the Metaverse owned by players to create and monetize Games. LANDS are used to publish your game and can be rented to game creators. Every LAND comes with a set of prebuilt terrains, but it can be terraformed and modified by the USER who owns it (or other PLAYERS they invite to work on it). In the future, players will be able to combine LANDS together to form ESTATES In the future, ESTATES will have the potential to be, owned by multiple players to form DISTRICTS.

10. Tech stack used in our project

ReactJS is a JavaScript library utilized to build reusable UI libraries. React is a library that allows you to create modular user interfaces. It supports the development of reusable user interface components that display data that varies over time. ReactJS is a component-based JavaScript UI toolkit that is simple to use and rich in features. It can be used to create both tiny and large, complicated applications.ReactJs
offers a basic and, reliable feature set for launching a web application. The react community complements the react library by supplying a huge range of ready-to-use components for quickly developing web applications. The React community gives advanced concepts such as state management, routing, and so on.

Advantages

– Uses a JavaScript object called virtual DOM. Because JavaScript virtual DOM is quicker than the conventional DOM, this will increase app speed
– It is compatible with different frameworks and may be used both on the client and server sides. Component and data patterns promote readability which makes larger apps easier to manage

Limitations

You need to choose other technologies to acquire a complete development toolkit because it only supports the view layer. Some developers may find inline templating and JSX to be convenient

Move-To-Earn Game Modes

MOOW provides 2 different Move-To-Earn Game modes:
Solo mode – launched
PvP mode – coming soon
Learn more by following corresponding subpages.

Solo mode

The main Move-To-Earn Mode
Description
The Basic Training game mode runs in the background, recording the daily activity of the User over the past 24 hours.
In this mode, players earn $TIC or $TAC tokens under the following conditions:
You have at least one MOOW Pulse Tracker in the Inventory;
You have a supported phone and a device that measures your Heart Rate and transfers it to Apple Health or Google Fit;
There is available energy;
The application determines the heart rate zones for the last 24 hours, the pulse in which corresponded to the selected Heart Rate Tracker;
You managed to Claim $TIC tokens for eligible pulse zones in 24 hours.
The MOOW App has to access your Apple Health or Google Fit to track your Heart Rate.
TIC earnings
$TIC is our In-Game Token and is available to Trackers of any level.
1. EC = Energy Consumption = 0,2 energy per 1 min (10 min = 2 energy);
2. TA = Total Accuracy = Base Accuracy + Accuracy level upgrade + MODs bonus Accuracy;
3. LegitTime = (Time in Tracker pulse zone range / time) WHILE EC LASTS;
4. SystemParameter is managed by MOOW Team;
Each Accuracy attribute makes a really strong boost of $TIC earnings. So, the level 1 Tracker and the level 10 Tracker earn completely different numbers.
TAC earnings
$TAC is our Governance Token and is available for high-end players with the level 30 Tracker only.
There will be an Allocation Pool of 148148 $TAC for each in-game day.
All TAC from this Pool are distributed once per day to all players based on the used Energy and Performance Attribute of the Pulse Trackers used to obtain the $TAC.
A special $TAC pool for MOO holders will also be launched. $TAC for this pool will be taken from the main Allocation Pool. .
This $TAC allocation rule will be in effect until the end of 2027, after which it will be changed.
Learn more in !
Heart Beats earnings
Heart Beats is a virtual In-Game currency. You cannot transfer, sell or buy it.
Each time you claim $TIC or $TAC, you earn Heart Beats, which are essential for various game mechanics such as leveling and minting.
For every claimed minute, you get 90-100 Heart Beats.
We do not recommend that you reach extreme heart rate zones! This will not affect HB’s earnings. Moreover, it is dangerous!

The atmosphere of Rage on Wheels shares the post-apocalyptic aesthetics of Mad Max and games like Crossout. It’s the year 2063, and most of the planet has become a barren desert following a major environmental and social crisis. Players fight each other for territory and survival using powerful armored vehicles. Every vehicle is unique and has its own advantages in a fight. Users can leverage their cars’ resources to ‘mine’ even more vehicles – then use them in the Arena, sell them, or mint them as NFTs.

Rage on Wheels is an that combines the thrill of popular vehicular battle and crafting games like and Scrapland.

Remastered with the complex economics of NFT-based trading card games like DeFi Kingdoms and Gods Unchained. Thanks to the use of a hybrid onchain-offchain architecture and the use of the BSC blockchain, users can enjoy a smooth gameplay and minimal fees.

Play2Earn continues to be one of the biggest blockchain trends going into 2022. However, the niche is

plagued by several serious issues:

• High blockchain fee costs for players
• Diminishing P2E returns
• Weak tokenomics that lead to oversupply and price dumps
• Poor design and gameplay in contrast with bold initial promises

Rage on Wheels History

The game takes place in a dystopian reality where drivers of powerful battle vehicles fight for resources and control of the territory after most of humanity have been wiped out by a major crisis. The vehicles are the main asset in Rage on Wheels: they can be bought in closed Mystery Boxes or directly from other players in the marketplace

Rage on Wheels Gameplay

FEEL THE RAGE

Rage on Wheels is the Play2Earn game you’ve been waiting for. Build an army of battle vehicles and ride them into battle, win tournaments, collect rewards in ROW tokens and even mine new cars. Become a feared leader in this dystopian world.

BACKSTORY

It’s the year 2063, and most of the planet is now a barren desert. Skeletons of great cities rise out of the dusty plains, and rival gangs fight for territory in their powerful cars. Your loyal battle vehicle is your only hope to capture resources and survive.

200 UNIQUE VEHICLES

There are 5 levels of 40 vehicles each – 200 unique designs in total. You can trade cars in the marketplace and even mine new ones. And if you collect 3 identical vehicles, you can merge them into a higher-level one.

MINE NEW CARS

Every car has a ‘hashrate’, and the higher your total hashrate, the faster you’ll mine new vehicles. Mining goes on behind the scenes, 24/7. You can grow your army of battle cars for free!

RUNS ON BSC

We use a hybrid onchain-offchain architecture and Binance Smart Chain to minimize fees. Rage on Wheels is faster and cheaper to play than most P2E games.

Create, explore and trade in the first-ever virtual reality game world owned by its users thanks to the ethereum blockchain.

Explore LANDs owned by users to experience incredible scenes and structures. From a space adventure to a medieval dungeon maze to entire villages crafted from the minds of community members.

Own a piece of land and build whatever is your mind into this world of infinite opportunities.

Introduction

Decentraland is a decentralized virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Within the Decentraland platform, users can create, experience, and monetize their content and applications.

Enter and explore decentraland

The finite, traversable, 3D virtual space within Decentraland is called LAND, a non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract. Land is divided into parcels that are identified by cartesian coordinates (x,y). These parcels are permanently owned by members of the community and are purchased using MANA, Decentraland’s cryptocurrency token. This gives users full control over the environments and applications that they create, which can range from anything like static 3D scenes to more interactive applications or games.

Whitepaper

The original Decentraland white paper written by Esteban Ordano, Ariel Meilich, Yemel Jardi, and Manuel Araoz can be found using the link below.

This white paper presents a detailed explanation of the original philosophical motivations behind the Decentraland project, along with a rigorous discussion of the proposed technical and economic approaches to building Decentraland. Please keep in mind that the Decentraland project is continually evolving, and some of the approaches outlined in the white paper have been modified.

Marketplace

The Marketplace is the go-to place to trade and manage all your Decentraland on-chain assets.

Access the Marketplace at market.decentraland.org.

The Marketplace allows you to:

Sell parcels and Estates of LAND, wearables, and unique names. Set your own price in MANA and an expiration date for the offer.
Buy parcels and Estates, wearables, and unique names that are for sale.
Transfer your Decentraland assets to another user.
Explore the world through a map to see who owns what, existing wearables or claimed avatar names.
📔 Note: Use builder.decentraland.org/land to:
Name your parcels and Estates and give them a public description.
Grant permissions to other users, allowing them to deploy on your LAND.
Manage to create or dissolve estates.
Your Wallet #
Before using market.decentraland.org, connect and log into an Ethereum client account that can interact with the web browser. We recommend using MetaMask. We also support the use of a Ledger hardware wallet.

📔 Note: If you would like to use your Ledger hardware wallet in the Marketplace, it will require you to connect it towards MetaMask. Please ensure you follow all the given steps and updates to allow a seamless Ledger usage.
When navigating the Marketplace, your wallet address is treated as your account, you don’t need any additional log in.

The Marketplace currently hosts LAND and names solely on Ethereums network. Wearables differ between Ethereum and Polygons network. Ethereum based transactions require a GAS fee, paid in Ethereum. Wheras Polygon based transactions only require a small amount of MATIC, to perform actions in the Marketplace.

The Atlas View #
The Atlas view gives you a bird’s-eye perspective of every color coded parcel, Estate, road, district, and plaza in Decentraland.

You can click and drag the map to move around, zoom in and out, or hover your cursor over a parcel to see its x,y location and owner.

Any parcel that is currently for sale in the Marketplace will be highlighted.

Click on a parcel to view it’s status, its coordinates, and its owner’s public address (if it has an owner). From this screen you can also buy or place a bid on the parcel.

The Marketplace View #
Select the Browse tab to see all the items that are for sale.

Select the Category to view only a specific type of item .
Order them by different criteria like most recent, cheapest, etc.
Toggle On sale off to view items that aren’t for sale.
Filter items by name to find something specific.

Buy MANA #
To buy MANA in exchange for Ether:

Open your user Settings page.
Click Buy More next to your MANA balance.
This takes you to Kyber Swap, where you can easily exchange Ether to MANA.
Set an amount of MANA you’d like to receive or the amount of Ether you’d like to convert, then click Swap Now.
Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.
Buy items #
To buy LAND, Estates, wearables or unique names in Decentraland:

Browse offers to find something on same that you’d like to buy and click it to open its details.
💡 Tip: For LAND and Estates, you can also browse using the Atlas view.
On it’s details page, click Buy.

Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.

📔 Note: If this is your first time buying something on the Marketplace, you will also be asked to confirm a one-time transaction to allow the Marketplace to accept MANA.
Place a bid on an item #
If an item isn’t listed on sale, you can still place a bid on it and offer to buy it at a specific price. The other steps of the process are just like those of buying an item.

💡 Tip: View items that aren’t for sale by untoggling the On sale option. For LAND and Estates, you can also browse using the Atlas view and select any parcel.
📔 Note: If this is your first time placing a bid on the Marketplace, you will also be asked to confirm a one-time transaction to allow the Marketplace to handle bids.
To view a list of your open and pending bids, select My Bids on the top navbar.

From this screen you can also change the price of your bid by clicking Update. This screen also shows bids made by other users on items you own.

Sell a parcel or Estate #
To sell one of your items:

Open My Assets and open its details page.
In the details page, click Sell.
Set a price and expiration date and click List for sale. Then retype the price you’re selling it at to confirm.
Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.
📔 Note: If this is your first time selling an item of this asset type on the Marketplace, you will also be asked to confirm a one-time transaction to allow the Marketplace to accept MANA.
You can change the price of a sale that you already put on offer without having to cancel and re-create the sale. Just click Update price in the parcel or Estate’s details page.

See your activity history #
Open the notifications page by clicking the bell icon at the top of the screen.

The notifications page displays a list of all the recent transactions that you have carried out, together with their status.

Click a transaction to see more details about it on Etherscan.

📔 Note: This screen only shows transactions that were initiated by you. It doesn’t show the sale of tokens, since that action is initiated by the buyer.
Transfer LAND #
To transfer a LAND parcel or Estate to another user:

Open My Assets and open the details page of the parcel or the Estate you’d like to transfer and click Transfer.

Enter the public address of the Ethereum wallet of the recipient.

📔 Note: Please double check this address, since you cannot cancel the operation. While the recipient could always transfer the LAND back to you, the original owner cannot reverse the action.
Click Submit.
Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.
📔 Note: If the LAND parcel or Estate is currently on sale, you won’t be able to transfer it. First click Remove listing to cancel the sale.
Providing Feedback #
We’ve worked hard to ensure that the Marketplace is simple and easy to use but if you ever have questions or feedback please reach out to us using the in-app Intercom widget.

As with all of our other tools, the Marketplace is open-source software, and you can find the code here. Feel free to create an issue, or submit a pull-request!

LAND Manager

The Land Manager allows you to manage your LAND and Estate assets.

Access the Land manager at https://builder.decentraland.org/land.

The Land Manager allows you to:

Name your parcels and Estates and give them a public description.
Merge LAND parcels into an Estate.
Dissolve an Estate into separate LAND parcels.
Transfer your parcels and Estates to another user.
Grant permissions to other users to edit the parcels you own.
Manage Your LAND #
To view your LAND tokens, click Manage your LAND. Here you’ll find a list of all of your parcels and Estates, including any parcels that you have listed for sale.

By clicking on one of the parcels or Estates listed under Land, you can edit its name, description, set an operator, or transfer it directly to another wallet address.

Create an Estate #
LAND Estates make it possible to associate two or more directly adjacent parcels of LAND to make it easier to manage your larger LAND holdings. Estates are especially useful when building larger scenes that span more than one parcel.

Parcels in an Estate must be directly adjacent, and cannot be separated by a road, plaza, or any other parcel.

To create your first Estate, you need to own two or more adjacent LAND parcels.

Open My LAND and select one of the parcels you’d like to add to the Estate.

In the parcel’s details page, click Create Estate.

You will be shown a view of the Atlas centered on the parcel you selected, with the remaining adjacent parcels you own highlighted. Select the different parcels you want to include in your Estate.

Click Continue.

Enter a name and description for your Estate. These details will be publicly displayed in the Atlas, just like the name and description for any individual parcel.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOelRKeRT42NAAKMXXlEmDUUqKc7pIsH7PJyEwZUf92L-ee8CPENbhpq0SXldtKWhi1DIkaoT-sP8s0yoQtphdO19AXq3CxeL2gYFOcKHheUOngC8k3wGyy9fTHcHyT7qt_JHcUKrqrgXEqh-rPWKQFf-6ecDcfigHR_mCU35xTDZdlxAzKNgVmwryAQ=s16000

Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.

Once you’ve created your first Estate, you will see a new tab titled Estates. From this page you can view and manage all of your Estates.

When you create a new Estate, you are effectively transferring your parcels to a new token. These Estates are represented by ERC721 tokens (like any other NFT). You will no longer see the individual parcels under My LAND, and they will not appear in MetaMask, Mist, Trezor, or Ledger wallets, nor on Etherscan under your address.

Edit parcels or Estates #
You can edit the name and description of any parcel or Estate that you own. These details will be publicly displayed in the Atlas.

To edit a parcel or Estate:

Navigate to the details page of the parcel or the Estate you’d like to edit and click Edit.

Click Submit.

Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.

Give permissions #
You can give another user permissions to edit the content in a parcel or Estate. This enables that user to deploy code to the scene, whilst not having the ability to sell the token.

The user given permission can also change the name or description in the Marketplace.

To grant permissions over your LAND:

Navigate to the details page of the parcel or Estate and click on the three dots and then Set Operator.

Fill the form with the desired info.

Click Submit.

Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.

See your activity history #
Open the notifications page by clicking the bell icon at the top of the screen.

The notifications page displays a list of all the recent transactions that you have carried out, together with their status.

Click a transaction to see more details about it on Etherscan.

Transfer LAND #
To transfer a LAND parcel or Estate to another user:

Navigate to the details page of the parcel or the Estate you’d like to transfer and click Transfer.

Enter the public address of the Ethereum wallet of the recipient.

📔 Note: Please double check this address, since you cannot cancel the operation. While the recipient could always transfer the LAND back to you, the original owner cannot reverse the action.

Click Submit.
Confirm this transaction on your Ethereum client and wait for the network to verify it.

Get parcel info

You can use the Decentraland CLI to query info directly from LAND tokens in the blockchain and from the scene files uploaded to the content server.

To run these commands, you must first Install the CLI.

Get info about a scene #
The dcl info command returns the contents of a scene’s scene.json file, including owner, contact info, and parcels in the scene.

dcl info from the scene’s folder returns info about that specific scene.
dcl info x,y, where x and y are parcel coordinates, returns info about the scene in that location.
📔 Note: Don’t add a space between both coordinates.

dcl info id, where id is an estate id, returns info about the scene with that estate id.
The dcl status command returns a list with the files deployed to a scene. This only includes file names and sizes. You can’t access the contents of the files via the CLI.

dcl status from the scene’s folder returns info about that specific scene.
dcl status x,y, where x and y are parcel coordinates (with no spaces between them), returns info about the scene in that location.
📔 Note: Don’t add a space between both coordinates.
dcl status id, where id is an estate id, returns info about the scene with that estate id.
📔 Note: Everything that’s uploaded to our content server is public and reachable through that network. When you deploy a scene, by default you’re not uploading the original source code for the scene, instead you upload a version that’s compiled to minified JavaScript, which is a lot less readable.
Get info from a wallet address #
The dcl info command also lets you see info about an Ethereum wallet and the LAND tokens that it owns.

dcl info xxxx, where xxxx is the Ethereum address you’re interested in, returns a list of all the LAND parcels and estates owned by that address and their details.

What is the DAO

The Decentraland DAO is the decision-making tool for MANA, NAMES and LAND holders in Decentraland’s virtual world. Through votes in the DAO, the community can issue grants and make changes to the lists of banned names, POIs, and catalyst nodes. The DAO also controls the LAND and Estate smart contracts.

Issuing grants and making changes to the records and contracts owned by the DAO can only be done by using predefined proposals accessible in governance.decentraland.org.

These proposals, the votes submitted, and final results are all stored in IPFS via Snapshot, a gas-less voting client. Approved proposals with binding actions are enacted on the Ethereum blockchain by a committee by means of a multi-sig wallet. This committee is overseen by the Security Advisory Board (SAB), another multisig with trusted key holders. This Committee was voted into place by the community in the previous release of the DAO. The original proposal can be found here.

The remainder of this document explains in greater detail what the DAO is, how it works, and what it can be used for.

For a detailed tutorial on how to use the Decentraland DAO, visit the DAO User Guide.

The DAO is powered by smart contracts #
All DAOs, or decentralized autonomous organizations, are part of a new approach to organizational management and decision making made possible by Ethereum.

Ethereum extended what’s possible with blockchains by adding the ability to decentralize the handling of data more complex than just records of token ownership. Ethereum did this by allowing people to put smart contracts on a blockchain.

What’s a smart contract? #
A smart contract is a computer program that is run on the Ethereum blockchain. It can store both functions (bits of code that do things) and data (information). Smart contracts are often compared to vending machines. If you put in specific inputs, you get specific outputs. If I walk up to a vending machine, insert $1, and press the “orange soda” button, then I’ll get an orange soda if there’s any left in the machine. If there’s no more orange sodas, I’ll get my dollar back.

Smart contracts work the same way, people can interact with them by sending information with the expectation of receiving specific results or information. Just like the vending machine doesn’t have a little person inside handing out sodas, smart contracts are automatic (dare we say, autonomous).

If you’d like to learn more about Ethereum smart contracts, the Ethereum documentation is the best place to dive in.

The DAO controls Decentraland’s critical smart contracts #
The second important quality of smart contracts is their ability to own other smart contracts.

That’s right, every smart contract has its own address (just like the address of your Ethereum wallet) that allows it to own other smart contracts and cryptocurrencies.

So, in slightly more technical terms, a DAO is one or more smart contracts that can perform specific, pre-defined tasks and maintain ownership of cryptocurrencies. DAOs are built in such a way that they will only perform their tasks under specific conditions, such as the passing of a proposal voted on by a group of people who own a certain token (like MANA, NAMES or LAND). All of this is done on a blockchain. Hence the name, “decentralized autonomous organization”.

Decentraland’s DAO also owns a sum of MANA and other tokens along with the LAND and Estate smart contracts. This fund has been set aside to help sponsor community grants and to help grow the Decentraland platform according to the decisions and directions voted on by the community.

📔 Note

The DAO does not own, and so cannot modify, the MANA smart contract.

The MANA contract’s owner is the TokenSale contract. The owner of the TokenSale contract is a separate contract that self-destructed on deployment (as you can see on Etherscan here). This means that there is no other contract or wallet with the permissions to modify or pause the MANA supply.

There is other information that the DAO controls as well, such as the list of harmful or offensive names that are not permitted in Decentraland, a list of notable locations (POIs or Points of Interest) to be promoted to new users, and the list of community run servers that host Decentraland’s virtual world.

Transferring any of the DAO’s MANA, modifying the LAND or Estate smart contracts, or modifying any of the other listed information controlled by the DAO can only be done with the approval of MANA, NAMES and LAND holders.

A Fully Decentralised RPG and Collection Game Built On The Immutable X L2 Network

Introduction

Welcome to the world of Illuvium. A shattered land of beauty and wonder. Travel the vast and varied landscape hunting dangerous beasts, then capture them to battle in the Arenas or trade via the exchange.

Prior to launch of the game, $ILV holders may choose to stake $ILV to access the liquidity mining program (a type of ‘yield farming’ that has become popular with DeFi protocols where the founding teams seek to decentralise the governance of the protocol).

The purpose of the liquidity mining program is to distribute $ILV from the Illuvium Treasury to early Illuvium community members to: 1) achieve a distributed holding of $ILV tokens across more of the Illuvium community, 2) incentivise new people to participate in the Illuvium community, and 3) to enable a more liquid and transparent market for the trading of $ILV. The greater the size of the Illuvium community, the greater the prospects of decentralised governance as well as a self-regulating community that discourages bad actors and manipulation of governance and the game. Once the game is launched, users can stake $ILV as a signal of belief and support in the game and its governance model and receive access to governance and distributions from in-game fees.

A fully decentralized protocol, Illuvium represents a new age in gaming. It has been engineered from the ground-up to support the long-term sustainability of the Illuvium game and governance and provide players with a AAA-rated blockchain gaming experience. What makes Illuvium unique is that stakers receive regular distributions and can vote on everything from tokenomics related issues to the features in the game itself. With Illuvium, the power to define the project into the future is purposefully left to those who stake in the protocol.

Why DeFi?

The primary goal of the project is to create a fully decentralised game that can run autonomously. Over the last 18 months, and particularly in the last six, DeFi apps have seen impressive growth and rapid development. There are hundreds of DeFi projects gaining traction today—from trading, lending, and wallet interfaces, to assets and communities representing over 15B $USD in value. DeFi allows us to leverage this exciting growth to bootstrap a solvent platform that can hit the ground running for the increasing market interest in DeFi projects.

We are already starting to see a shift away from “novelty projects” that don’t add tangible value because ultimately they are unsustainable. We strongly believe a decentralised gaming economy provides the best fusion between crypto/blockchain/DAO enthusiasts and gamers looking for open access devoid of corporate interference.

There are currently no AAA gaming titles with cinematic quality 3D special effects in an immersive open-world RPG built in DeFi, and Illuvium merges gaming and cryptocurrency in a unique synergy that holds allure for crypto enthusiasts, dedicated gamers, and the curious tech-savvy public. By having gorgeous, functional, and rare NFTs, as well as a high replay value, Illuvium will keep players interested in the $ILV protocol longer, ensuring the stability of the underlying NFT assets and the token pool.

(There are risks associated with DeFi, particularly staking and smart contract risk, and contract configurations are being developed continuously and subject to change and sentiment expressed by the Illuvium community).

Layer 2 Ethereum Scaling Solution – Immutable X

Ownership is vital to collection games. If you don’t own your collection, the entire value proposition falls apart. This is why digital media has struggled in this space and why games with tangible assets, such as card games, have stood the test of time. But with the advent of NFTs and the investigation of their implications, the conventions about ownership, value, and utility of digital property all change.

So what is an NFT?

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a crypto token representing a verifiably unique entity that is mutually interchangeable. The first NFT-like token was launched back in 2012 and was built on the Bitcoin blockchain. However, the most common NFT, ERC-721, is built on the Ethereum network.

NFTs became popular with the launch of CryptoKitties back in November 2017. Being a blockchain based game built on Ethereum, CryptoKitties was prone to multiple scalability issues. However, the rarity of owning an NFT captured everyone’s attention. Since then, add-ons and NFTs have found their way into many games, art and collectables.

Why did Illuvium choose Immutable X?

One of the primary issues NFT projects and users are currently facing is the cost of performing transactions on the Ethereum network. With limitations on the number of transactions Ethereum can handle, users on the network have bid up gas prices to ensure their transactions quickly settle. With the average cost of transferring an NFT averaging $15 at the time of writing, trading volume for NFTs has plummeted.

Immutable X changes this, allowing users to trade their NFTs without paying gas fees using what is known as a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Rollup. Aside from just the savings in gas fees, this provides you with a variety of benefits, including:

• You maintain self-custody of your NFTs with the same level of security as mainchain Ethereum, something not seen in alternative scaling solutions like Matic and xDai.
• Transactions are instant, and moving back to mainchain Ethereum is trustless and verifiable.
• Unlike other solutions, there is no need for you to own a unique L2 token to buy, sell, send, or receive NFTs.
• You get more interesting and attractive game mechanics and design from Illuvium thanks to off-chain minting (more on that later).
• Immutable X will provide turing-complete general computation in the near future thanks to Cairo, technology developed by their partners over at StarkWare.
• Immutable engine supports over 9000 transactions per second

Immutable X also focuses on improving NFT liquidity to ensure as a buyer you find what you’re looking for, and as a seller you can find someone who wants your NFT. This is done in a couple of ways:

• They’ve created what is known as a “metadata order”, or the ability for buyers to quickly and easily purchase assets (single, or in bulk) based on an NFTs underlying properties (or “metadata”). This is a major advancement over today’s high-friction trading, where users are often forced to sort through thousands of NFTs that differ ever so slightly to find what they’re looking for at the best available price.
• Immutable X offers pooled liquidity, allowing assets to be listed instantly on every exchange that supports Immutable X.

If you’re not familiar with ZK Rollups, why they’re considered the best solution for scaling on Ethereum, and want to learn more, we’d recommend Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s recent guide on Rollups.

Illuvium’s Core Mechanics: Minting, Burning, and Exchange

From the very beginning, the standard paradigm of most NFT games had become uninteresting, and lacking in utility. Buy a digital asset, own it, and hope it appreciates in value. Some games allow you to buy NFTs and then play with them in a game. While certainly an improvement, we still felt there was more to the experience. There had to be a way to establish an emotional connection between the players and their collections. We aren’t the only ones to see the gap, and the subsequent opportunity in this, but we wanted to provide the most distinctive and original solution: an emotive experience that was consistently intriguing and rewarding throughout the entire process, from discovery all the way to exchange.

Inside Illuvium, you will encounter wild, mysterious, and combative creatures called Illuvials. On your journey through the many regions of this broken planet, you hunt, defeat, and capture them. To do this, you need a Shard; a specially-constructed sliver of crystal that traps the quantum signature of the beast inside. The quality of your Shard determines the chance of capture. A successful capture results in a new NFT token representing the Illuvial being minted and stored in your wallet. When you manage to capture a few of the same type, you Fuse them together, which burns the existing tokens and mints a more powerful creature.

Immutable X makes this vital process much easier, by taking away distraction and letting players simply explore and enjoy the world. Players are not bombarded by constant GAS fees for every little change to their collection. And transactions happen much faster, so players can stay focused on what they came here to do: Explore, Collect, Battle, and Earn.

Game Overview

Intro

You take the role of a survivor of a transport vessel in an intergalactic space fleet, investigating a perplexing distress beacon. When you finally reach the origin of the call, you discover a ruined planet, possibly the mythical cradle of your race’s civilization. A vast crystal ocean engulfs all but a tiny fraction of the planet. Extreme weather events assault the surface, giving way to strikingly varied climates. A burst of radiation disables the ship’s engines and you slam into the planet’s surface. Crawling free from the wreckage, you discover majestic beasts, some with near godlike power. Could this be what caused the downfall of this planet? Luckily, your race has begun to master the same energy that the Illuvials harness, and you are able to capture and control the deity-like fauna into slivers of crystal called Shards, mined from the planet’s surface. To uncover the mysteries of the planet, you become a Hunter, traveling across the land subduing and capturing Illuvials, and trying to unlock the Obelisks that keep most of the world closed off.

Note: Game is in development and all details are subject to change.

What are Illuvials?

The planet’s core spills out a strange radiation that the beasts harness to grow, mutate, and unleash deadly attacks. Some Illuvials are easy to find, some are incredibly rare. They are found across a vast landscape. The radiation itself pulses in a non organic way that seems vaguely familiar. There are more than 100 Illuvials to find and collect throughout the world, each possessing unique abilities. They form symbiotic relationships with one another based on common affinities or classes, called Synergies. Using a Hybrid Synergy System, Illuvials are stronger when working as a team in the Battle Arena so make sure to collect synergising pairs to maximise your chance of victory. Different synergies create different bonuses for your team, allowing you to outplay your opponent—even if they have Illuvials with more raw power than you. Fusion allows you to merge multiple Illuvials of the same type into a more powerful beast, with different attributes, sometimes belonging to a completely different Class or Type. Remember that some Lines of Illuvials are very rare and hard to find, making their Fused form even more difficult to discover

Team Building

In the immersive environment of this shattered planet, Illuvials phase in and out of existence and will be hard to track (both to hunt and avoid) — but when you do, don’t expect an easy fight. Once the battle starts, each Illuvial will find an enemy to engage in combat, aided by your in-game character who possesses technology advanced enough to stand firm against these incredibly powerful creatures. Keep in mind the synergies between Illuvials — it can be the difference between victory and defeat! Engage the mysterious Illuvials in battle — and if you win, they can be stored in a Shard, where they will accompany you on your personal Odyssey. Shards vary in power — if you’re dealing with stronger Illuvials, be sure to use a stronger Shard. Otherwise, you risk losing that rare creature forever. Combat will make them stronger, grow in levels, and develop their power. Once you collect three that have each reached their threshold level, you can fuse them together into a single, more powerful creature. Don’t worry if an Illuvial gets injured — the shard it returns to has a time-based regenerative protocol for anything stored within it. Your fighting team will be able to get back to full health over certain intervals of time. If you want them back right away, however, it can be done by using various items or paying a small fee to bring them back to full health. Some are more rare than others, and if you are lucky you might just get a Shiny, Gold, or Holographic rare capture. If you do, your Illuvial will always stand out, intimidate, and perhaps reign undefeated, in the Arenas.

Affinities

The origins of Illuvials themselves is a mystery, but so is their affinity to the elements of this alien world. Illuvials connect predominantly with one of 5 elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Nature. The most powerful Ascended form affinities with two elements (Frost = Air + Water), or a stronger bond with a single element (Inferno = Fire + Fire). Make sure your team is strategically chosen. Your Archeleon might be strong with its Overgrowth Affinity (Nature + Nature), but in combat with an Inferno Illuvial they will be at a severe disadvantage so choose wisely.

Classes

Illuvials are grouped into one of 5 classes: Fighter, Guardian, Rogue, Psion and Empath. As in many RPGs, the choices you make regarding the class of your Illuvials will affect the outcome of your battles with wild Illuvials. Draft a team ideally synergistic in qualities and traits that can work well together as a single fighting unit. Ascended forms are so powerful that sometimes they embody two classes simultaneously, such as Slayer (Fighter + Rogue), or become stronger in a single class such as Invoker (Psion + Psion).

The Illuviary

After the crash, you stumble upon an almanac, with the word “Illuviary” scrawled across it. One of your people must have landed here long ago. Inside, you will find an index of every Illuvial found across Illuvium, but all locked. To unlock the entries you must find and capture the Illuvials and record their digital signature into the Illuviary. If you are the first in the universe to discover a particular digital signature, your name will forever appear next to your discovery in the worldwide Illuviary database. But this digital signature contains far more than just their biology… It just might be the key to unlocking the mystery of Illuvium. From its inception, we envisioned Illuvium to be a game of discovery and mystery. As such, on release there will be no public information in-advance regarding many of the Illuvials in the world. We expect that many of the entries will be filled on Day One, but we hope that players enjoy that sense of wonder that comes from pure discovery and exploration.

How Do I Play?

Start by customising your character. Then select your Polymorphic Subordinate Drone. Once you and your sidekick are ready, you can then head out to explore the various regions of the world, and the mysteries that shattered it. As you adventure, you will encounter Illuvials that you can fight. If you subdue them, use a Shard to snap them up so they are yours permanently. Be careful though, Shards have varying power levels. Less powerful Shards are likely to fail against powerful Illuvials. For players just starting out, you will be able to mine free shards that are only capable of capturing a select few Illuvials that are far less powerful than some. But you will be able to get started in the game without any expense and learn the mechanics. We feel this is a welcome change from games that require a large amount of capital upfront to play. There are many regions to explore, but most will be inaccessible to the first generation of players. Over time, players will unlock Obelisks which allow for travel to new beautiful, challenging, and important regions that come with new Illuvials to battle and collect, and shed more light on the enigma that happened here.

In-Game Purchases

ETH is used for all in-game purchases and the fees are sent directly to the Illuvium Vault.

• Shard Curing
• Imbues (Modification to various elements of the game such as weapons or Drones)
• Wagering Battles
• Illuvium Revival (medical fees)
• Obelisk Travel
• Enhancements (Powerful stat boosts to the Illuvials)

Adventuring

For some players, the draw of the game will be travelling across the world and collecting Illuvials. This can be incredibly lucrative, especially if a player manages to capture something rare and powerful. Illuvials will become harder to capture over time. As more and more are found, their capture rate will change, because it is fundamentally tied to the number that have been captured thus far. The difficulty to capture Illuvials will also grow. As you adventure and encounter Illuvials in the wild, your current team (including yourself) will grow in power.

Battle Arenas

Other players will choose to battle each other to prove who is the superior Hunter. These players will queue in the Ranked Arena where they can be matched with a random opponent of a similar skill, or call out other players in ad-hoc wagered matches in the Leviathan Arena. Other players will be able to spectate and wager on the outcomes.

IlluviDEX (The Illuvium Exchange)

The Illuvium exchange is an online marketplace, governed by the Illuvium DAO, for players to buy and sell all in-game NFTs. The major component of the IlluviDEX is the trading of Illuvials, but all NFTs found in the game can be traded there..

Mining and Harvesting

Your subordinate drone isn’t just a good-looking gadget. In addition to storage and assistance during battle, your PSD is also capable of mining minerals from the planet’s surface, and forging them into useful items. The landscape is speckled with deposits that contain ore, uncured shards, and rare gemstones. After harvesting these, use your drone to forge them into weapons and suits of armor by infusing the materials with energy. Some materials are much more rare, and provide stronger bonuses to your equipment. Wield these yourself for an advantage in combat, or sell them on the IlluviDEX. Illuvium is also littered with trees that produce various alien fruits that pulsate with energy. Harvest these to create enhancements for your Illuvials in battle, or to nurse them back to health without heading back to Sanctum Mesa.

Shards

Shards are probably the most important item in the game. It is only with these shards that players are able to capture Illuvials that they best in combat. As such, each player will want to be stocked with a few before venturing into the world. You can mine them from deposits, but you’ll always want to make sure you have something available in case you encounter a rare Illuvial. Like most elements in the game, Shards come in a variety of tiers based on their power at capturing Illuvials. The stronger the Illuvial, the harder they are to capture. This is where a strong shard is most effective. The quality of the shard you pull from the ground is random, with the most powerful ones being the rarest. If you want to make sure that you can capture everything you find in the world, then it is worth checking out the IlluviDEX where you can acquire shards.

Weapons

In Illuvium, it is not just the Illuvials that fight. You as the player character get to fight in the battle, wielding futuristic weapons that can be equipped with gemstones that store the essence of Illuvials, allowing you to emit an aura that boosts your Illuvials in combat. Your choice of weapons also determines your class, which gives additional benefits to your team. Weapons can be sold on the IlluviDEX like most other NFTs in the game.

Armor

Also forged from items mined on Illuvium, armour is your defense against the beasts that you fight. If your armour becomes too damaged you may need to wait until it regenerates. However, your choice of armour can sway the battle, as each suit has different properties. Choosing the right one for you and your team is one of the many decisions you will make in the game. Armor can be sold on the IlluviDEX like most other NFTs in the game.

Imbues

Imbues are cosmetic changes that can add value to a player’s collection by further differentiating their acquisitions from others. Imbues are modular in nature and can be applied to multiple items, or you may decide to sell them on the IlluviDEX. Various items in the game can be imbued, such as weapons, armour and even your Drone.

The Metaverse industry is a $1 trillion annual revenue opportunity according to Grayscale, and with projected annual revenue of $400 billion for the Metaverse gaming industry by 2025, Metaverse games will benefit mostly from this growth.

Valhalla is a play-to-earn NFT gaming metaverse. In addition to being rewarded with $FLOKI for battling, everything that you obtain in the metaverse is yours to own and to sell as you intend (such as on FlokiPlaces).

The team working on Valhalla have been working on NFT games since 2017, are at the head of a development team of 15, and are onboarding high-profile advisors with experience developing successful mainstream addictive games.

The Valhalla NFT Metaverse Game

Valhalla is FLOKI’s NFT Metaverse game that aims to tap into the $1 trillion Metaverse industry. FLOKI will be the main utility token of the Valhalla Metaverse.

Valhalla Will Be Powered By FLOKI Tokens
Valhalla is designed to take a huge chunk of FLOKI tokens out of circulation and into the Valhalla ecosystem as adoption increases — since FLOKI is going to be the main currency of the Valhalla world.
The only way to buy in-game items in Valhalla will be with in-game tokens (which will be FLOKI or can only be bought with FLOKI).
Valhalla will also incentivize people to spend FLOKI to advance through the game more easily. This enhances utility and drive actual demand for the FLOKI token.
The Valhalla Team
Valhalla is currently being developed by a team of 11 people with combined team experience of over 50 years and plans to aggressively expand to a team of 20 to fast-track development. This team is led by MrBrownWhale, a renowned crypto veteran, NFT expert, and Ether Cards council member, and Jackie Xu, a blockchain veteran who has been in the industry for a decade and has worked with some of the biggest names in crypto.

Jackie Xu has worked on blockchain since 2012 and has actively worked on smart contracts since 2017. Before that, Jackie worked as a software engineer and technical lead on projects ranging from large social networks to anti-fraud transaction processing systems for the traditional finance industry.

The team developing Valhalla is made up of two sound engineers with extensive experience not only in gaming, but also in creating musical scores for, among others, Netflix, an illustrator, a character modeler, an animator and an overseeing art director.
In addition, there are two Unity game developers working on Valhalla that have been working with that engine since ~2008. They’ve seen the good and the bad, and will be working on a wonderful game client for Valhalla.
Then there’s a game designer and a “lore master” with more than a decade’s worth of D&D roleplaying experience that is being used to enhance the Valhalla narrative and world history, as well as writing out the lives of the various in-game NPCs.
Finally, there is a QA guy whose focus is to ensure the game development is flawless.

It started on the Steem blockchain as Steemmonsters but eventually switched to the Hive blockchain. Thanks to cross-chain functionality, cards and tokens can also be traded on the Ethereum blockchain and on Wax. Splinterlands now has a governance token called SPS.

About Splinterlands

Splinterlands is a unique digital trading card game that allows players to truly own their cards and other in-game assets. Thanks to web 3.0 technology powered by the HIVE blockchain, each card in Splinterlands is a non-fungible token (NFT) owned by a player. That means players can do anything they want with their cards, including battling for rewards, holding them as collectibles, trading on the peer-to-peer market, combining to level up, or even burning to obtain Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), which is the official in-game cryptocurrency of Splinterlands.
The game was founded by blockchain innovators who shared a mutual frustration with mainstream digital trading card games that stemmed from players losing ownership of their assets when trading card games went digital. The companies who actually own the cards that players are supposed to “own” themselves can withhold information, reprint cards as often as they’d like, or even wholly delete a player’s collection based on inactivity or a violation of terms. Through the power of blockchain, Splinterlands solves these problems by making digital trading cards transparent, scarce, and actually owned by the players who own them.
With hundreds of unique cards, Splinterlands is a brilliantly designed and fast-paced trading card game that allows its players to earn by playing (P2E). Unlike more traditional TCGs like Magic: The Gathering, and Pokemon, Splinterlands battles are fast, with each match taking only 2-3 minutes. Rather than turn-based action in which every move is carefully and slowly controlled, Splinterlands’ main mechanic is a drafting style. Once an opponent is found, each player assembles a team of up to 6 cards from their Splinterlands collection. Then according to a unique set of rules that make every match different, the battle is played out automatically in a quick, action-packed format that allows players to learn from both victory and defeat.
Splinterlands is a strategist’s dream, beloved by one of the largest and most loyal followings in the play-to-earn industry. It is translated into nearly a dozen languages and played in over 100 countries worldwide. Each day, thousands of cards are traded for thousands of dollars on the peer 2 peer monster market. Join the fight at Splinterlands.com

Splinterlands is a cross between a deck-building game and an auto-battler. Players use their cards to create a combat lineup based on the rules of the match. Then, once both sides submit their teams, the cards battle it out until only one team remains. Players earn Dark Energy Crystals when winning matches and can also earn additional cards and other rewards through Daily Quests and a recurring, two-week leaderboard contest.

Players combine cards to level them up for better stats and additional abilities. Cards come in both regular versions and rarer, gold foil versions. Splinterlands features its own in-game market and allows for buying, selling, and even leasing cards!

Learn to Play

While it’s easy enough at first to jump right in and give Splinterlands a try, the strategy runs deep, and equipping yourself with the skills to win will take at least a small amount of basic learning.

Official Tutorial

You’ll find the game’s detailed explanation, as well as the playable tutorial experience in the HOW TO PLAY section of the Splinterlands website.

Challenging and Practice Matches

Another great way to put your skills to the test is by extending a challenge to a specific player, by selecting the Challenge option on the battle screen. Here you will be able to select the player whom you would like to challenge as well as set the level limits and cards to be used for the challenge.

By selecting the Practice option from the main battle screen you will be able to practice your skillset in unranked matches. This will help you to familiarise yourself with the battle selection process as well as experiment with battle strategies in a neutral environment that does not affect your rank.
Note that both Challenge and Practice matches will be considered Wild battles.

Watching Battles

One of the best ways to learn to play is by watching the battles of other more experienced players.
You can easily watch the battles of any player from the BATTLE page. By clicking the TOP BATTLES tab, you’ll be able to see the highest-ranked battles in the currently selected League of play. You can also enter the name of a specific player in the search bar to check out their most recent battles.

Top battles can be viewed in either Wild or Modern battle formats by selecting either format on the top of the Battle Screen.
Additionally, you can click on any player’s name on this page to see their profile and individual statistics. By clicking on the scroll circled in the image below, you’ll be able to watch that player’s battles.

Strategy Posts

On Splintertalk.io you’ll find all the latest Splinterlands-related content from the entire Hive Splinterlands tribe. Check this regularly and you’ll find valuable strategy posts, in-depth analyses of seasons, tournament rundowns, and more.

Splinterlands Discord

The official Splinterlands community can always be found in Discord. There is almost always someone in the community or one of the helpful moderators ready to answer your questions, and if you have technical issues, you can bring them up in the #tech-support channel of the Discord server.

Hire Heroes, and grow your territory!
Think Strategically, and unite with your faction!
Lead Faction to Victory, and get greater rewards!

The ‘Reta Wars’ is a simulation game that adds strategic elements to DeFi. In particular, it aims for a full-fledged Game-Fi that includes all game elements such as role play, growth, competition, and chance. It does not require busy and fast hand movements like an action game, but it requires thought and wise decisions to effectively control the heroes. The player can establish a long-term strategy, place heroes in the right place, and get rewards based on their performance as a profit.

Players can scrutinize the skills and stats of their hired NFT Heroes and place them in facilities installed on their estates. Heroes produce resources or engage in battles where they are deployed according to their abilities and skills.

Players can level up their heroes or equip them with weapons to increase their abilities. Heroes with higher levels will reward you with higher productivity and combat power, and weapons will greatly enhance the hero’s specific skills. Players can get better opportunities to get better yields by improving their heroes in this way.

These growth factors require players to scrutinize and compare, while at the same time ask them to reinvest some of the profits from the game to drive better returns.

About Reta Wars

In Reta Wars, players deploy their heroes in equally distributed territories to gather resources from lumber mills, mines and farms. Territories can have additional utilities and building to train heroes and serve their faction.

On a daily basis, two factions representing Gods fight for becoming the “God of Gods”. Players must choose which faction to support, and provide support in terms of resources, combat power and intelligence to their faction. The winning faction receives resources and Rose Gold Tokens.

You can find all the latest announcements on the Reta Wars website, by following the official twitter account and by joining the Discord community.

Reta War – The daily warfare between Nate and Gaia

The Reta War is a large-scale war simulation between Gaia and Nate (the two countries) Gods wanting to compete to become the God of the Gods. Reta Wars are the biggest play-to-earn content of the game, and, as a result of the battle, players will earn Gold Rose tokens, resources, and access to more plots of land.

To create a profile, players must choose one of the two nations on the screen. You can review various details, such as the average winning ratio and recent outcomes, before choosing a faction. Imgine two DAOs fighting for supremacy, that is what Reta Wars is. Although not impossible, it is difficult to change your mind once you’ve made a decision, so proceed with caution.

During the war, You can’t directly control the hero, but you can watch the troops you support in action. The winning faction will receive 75% of the victory reward, and the losing faction will receive 25%.

In order to ‘win’ or occasionally ‘lose’ a battle, players must support the faction supplying resources gathered in their territory. This includes resources obtained from mines, lumber mills, and farms. You may examine the resources you’ve contributed for the day on the faction screen, as well as the overall number of supplies gathered in your faction thus far.

Once the resources are gathered, all players in the faction will vote on the battle forming setup: deploy strong back, deploy strong front, deploy strong middle. The enemy has no way of knowing which formation has been chosen.

Depending on the outcome of the daily Reta War, you can begin the invasion and occupation. The victorious faction can take up two squares of land, while the losing faction can only take up one square.

Occupying resource lands brings an advantage to PTE revenue. For example, all players belonging to the faction occupying the wood tile will increase their wood production. Strongholds, such as temples and shrines offer various advantages to factions. Land occupation is decided by a voting system internal to the winning faction.

Heroes

As of now, heroes acquired through presale get 2% of the token allocation if staked. However, they will be fundamental in each part of the gameplay.

Each hero will have 5 Stats and 5 Skills, all randomly determined when they are first created, and their final ability is determined by their rarity. No hero is designed to excel in every way.

When a hero is first created, their rarity is randomly determined. It is divided into five levels, from Common to Legendary. The higher the rarity, the greater the sum of Stats and Skills. 54% of heroes are common, 30% uncommon, 15% rare, 0.99% epic, 0.01% legendary.

Stats are the basic abilities of a hero. Here’s the one we know will be present in-game:

A hero’s skill is an indication that decides which field a hero can have the biggest influence in. The following is a list of the skills that will be offered:

You can place your Heroes anywhere on your territory, but the best results are obtained when you understand and utilise your Hero’s ability to profit more from your terrains and contribute to the Reta War. Stats and skills determine how useful the hero will be for your territory and for the War.

Territory

When starting a new game, all players will receive a Territory. All land is distributed equally, and there’s no land play on the horizon.

The territory is a space equipped with the core facilities of the game such as production facilities and barracks. As a commander, it’s your job to nurture it and make it profitable.

Resources gathered in your territory can be sold for money or contributed to the Reta War. Keep in mind you could get more resources than the ones you contributed if the faction you belong to wins the daily competition.

Each territory can produce wood, ore, and food, respectively from the lumber mill, mine, and farm. All of them are necessary to upgrade buildings and build new facilities.

Additionally, territories can have buildings where heroes can train to perform specific tasks in the Reta War. For example, they can increase the Morale of other heroes by training in the barracks, and keep military secrets if deployed in secret bases.

Commanders can upgrade their territory and buildings to store more resources, hire more heroes, and build a more solid infrastructure.

Everything you contribute to your faction will determine the size of the faction’s army. Winning the war is your main goal as a commander.

Crypto Legions v2 was the longest lasting play-to-earn NFT game on the BSC network in 2022 with a lucrative ROI for players. Now it’s time for an even more powerful Crypto Legions v3 edition launching on Tuesday 27 September at 3pm UTC!

Crypto Legions is a mythological play to earn game on the Binance Smart Chain. Players need to create powerful legions from warriors and beasts and use them to hunt the deadliest monsters on the planet Nicah, in the Kolb galaxy.

The strongest legions will be able to kill the most deadly monsters and collect vast amounts of precious $BLOODSTONE. This precious resource is essential for the creation, survival and strengthening of every legion.

The Story

It’s the 31st century, and mankind’s greed for cryptocurrencies has pushed electricity consumption into a frenzy, ripping a hole in the ozone layer and flooding Earth with lethal UV radiation. Fearing for their lives, humans have taken to the stars, and stumbled upon a resource which has inspired a desperate hope: Bloodstone.
Found only on the remote planet Nicah in the solar system of Kolb, Bloodstone can be injected to provide immunity against UV radiation, radically expanding the human lifespan. $BLOODSTONE, the cryptocurrency associated with the treasure, has become the most sought-after currency on the blockchain ecosystem. Tensions still abound in the crypto sphere between the Samaritans (who made huge sacrifices to defeat the evil Billiuminati during the Big Crypto Game in the 21st century), and the Funks (who cashed out and took their earnings for themselves.)
Hunting for Bloodstone can lead to unimaginable wealth and longevity… but it’s also dangerous. Nicah is a hostile planet inhabited by vicious monsters. To survive, you’re going to need to recruit a legion of warriors and beasts to fight by your side… and they only accept payment in $BLOODSTONE. The more $BLOODSTONE you acquire, the more legions you can build, and the more Bloodstone you can hunt. Will you hoard enough to live forever?

Crypto Legions utilises blockchain technology to give players the ability to create and develop valuable, player-owned NFTs minted in the ERC-721 standard which can easily be traded through our in-game marketplace or transferred via the blockchain. The aim is that these assets generate a consistent and reliable source of passive income for the players.

Important: in Crypto Legions the ‘minting’ process is called ‘summoning’ to fit the storyline. So from here onwards in this whitepaper you will find ‘summon’ instead of ‘mint’ in the context of minting warriors/beasts.

The goal of Crypto Legions is to become the number one sustainable and lucrative income source for its users, whilst always providing them with an enjoyable and immersive gaming experience.

1. Play Forever Earn Forever™

Crypto Legions Finally and Forever Solved the Longevity Problem for Play-To-Earn NFT Games
The Problem
Play-To-Earn NFT games typically fail when their economies become unsustainable. This usually happens when established players hoard ever-lasting NFTs, and start withdrawing rewards in bulk without contributing anything back. Without enough new players joining, the economy stagnates: All the rewards have been eaten up by whales, with little incentives left for everybody else. This is when game creators tend to panic and impose knee-jerk measures that catch remaining players off guard, damaging trust and making a bad situation worse.
The Solution
Crypto Legions has invented a ‘Play Forever Earn Forever’ system, consisting of a combination of innovative updates including our Transparent Economy Status, our Smart Claim System™, our proven Omni-Balanced Oracle™ System, our Reserve Pool™, and our Reincarnation™ process. The combination of these features allows players to keep playing forever and to give birth to a new token, whenever needed and voted by the players who are taking the decision to Reincarnate based on the transparently provided data of the economy status. To fully understand the power of this system, you need to go over all the features in detail in this whitepaper.

2. Transparent Economy Status

We made the health status of the game very transparent for everyone by providing crucial economic data on the game dashboard. Now anyone can see themselves when the economy is at risk, and has the necessary information at hand to be able to make responsible decisions themselves about when to cash out or reinvest.

3. Smart Claim System™

Our Smart Claim System™ helps to fuel the financial ecosystem, by stimulating players to reinvest (called ‘Samaritans’) and taxing the players who keep claiming as much as they can (called ‘Funks’). This innovative system extends the longevity of the game.

4. In-game Referral System

An advanced in-game Referral System with two tiers makes it easy to refer friends and earn passive commissions. You earn commissions by referring new players to play the game. It’s very easy, because you just need to share the link you see on your dashboard.

5. We Prove We Care

Our team cares about you, and we proved it with our past actions. We are the example we want to see in the world, setting the bar for integrity at its highest level in the cryptocurrency space.

6. The Reserve Pool™

The Reserve Pool™ is a backup mechanism, to provide more security for players, keeping an amount aside in a separate multi-sig wallet in BUSD. Even if the cryptocurrency market collapses, or the current token dies, we will have a substantial amount set aside in BUSD in our Reserve Pool™ to compensate the players of the current game with NFTs in the next game.

7. Reincarnation™

Reincarnation™ is at the core of our ‘Play Forever Earn Forever’ system. Players can decide if they want to vote to keep playing the current game, or they want the current game to end so a ‘Reincarnation’ (= transition) to the next version of the game/token starts. The moment of transition to the next version of the game and the ‘end of life’ of the current token is in the power of the players, compensating players with NFTs in the next gaming by using the Reserve Pool™.

8. A Record Breaking Game

This is not the first game by our Crypto Games Agency. Our game Crypto Legions v2 lasted for 67 days, and broke the record of the longest lasting game of its kind in 2022. Our contracts are certified with a prestigious CertiK audit, KYC with SolidProof, and our game code has been user-tested before launch.

The goal of Crypto Legions is to become the number one sustainable and lucrative income source for its users, whilst always providing them with an enjoyable and immersive gaming experience.
Crypto Legions is the first Play-to- Earn NFT game with a revolutionary Omni-Balanced Oracle™ sustainability system. The Omni-Balanced Oracle™ is called Nadodo, and watches at all times over a fair gameplay for all players.

How To Earn

In Crypto Legions you will be able to create and develop fierce legions, which you can use to hunt the most dangerous monsters on planet Nicah.
There are many ways for people to profit from the Crypto Legions ecosystem, and three of the main ways are: summoning and trading valuable NFT assets, using legions to hunt the monsters of Nicah, and trading the $BLOODSTONE token.
Successfully hunting and defeating these monsters will earn you $BLOODSTONE ($BLST) which is the most valuable resource in the entire universe. It’s also essential for buying hunting supplies for your legions.
However, these monsters can be very difficult to kill and only the strongest legions can even attempt to fight the most dangerous monsters. As the difficulty and risks increase, so do the $BLOODSTONE rewards.
In order to hunt, players will need to create legions from warriors and beasts and ensure they have the necessary hunting supplies for the fight. Each legion will be able to hunt once every 24 hours, assuming they have the necessary hunting supplies. For example, if the first hunt of your legion took place at 10:45am on Monday, then you will be able to hunt with this legion again from Tuesday 10:45am and onwards.
All the most important information and buttons are on your dashboard. You will see the dashboard appearing every time you log into the game. You can go to the dashboard at any time from any page, by clicking the Crypto Legions logo in the top left corner, or by clicking your wallet address in the top right corner.

Hunting

As you already know, to be able to hunt the dangerous monsters of Nicah you need to create powerful legions from warriors and beasts.
Your legions will be able to hunt monsters once every 24 hours, and if they are successful they will earn $BLOODSTONE.
The stronger the monster is that your legion hunts, the harder it will be to defeat. Only the strongest of legions can even attempt to take down the most dangerous monsters, however, if successful, the $BLOODSTONE rewards for doing so will be enormous.
Each time you hunt, whether you win or lose, you usually pay a 2.5% tax of the potential winnings for that hunt in BUSD. The hunting tax may be adjusted slightly based on the Omni-Balanced Oracle™.
By using the “mass hunt” button, you can let your available legions hunt at the same time for the highest reachable monster for each legion. This function has exactly the same result as if you would hunt with each legion individually, one by one, for the highest possible monster for each legion. “Mass hunt” will not hunt for Monster 25, because that special monster needs to be hunted separately.
On the ‘Hunt’ page, you can click the ‘Hunt History’ text in the top right of your screen, to be able to see your entire history of all past hunts. The results of Monster 25 are not included in the Hunt History. The results from a Mass Hunt may take up to 30 minutes to appear in the Hunt History, and the time delay may vary depending on how many monsters you hunted for at the same time.
Hunting these dangerous monsters is no easy task, and winning or losing will result in your legions sustaining permanent damage, which is explained in the next section.

Rewards

These are the chances of winning and the necessary attack power of hunting down certain monsters.
For example: To hunt for monster 7, your legion needs to have a minimum attack power of 20,000, and you have a 65% chance to win 74 USD.
Here is the reward table with its chances to win:

Special Monster 25
A ‘Sunday Special’ Monster 25 is available on Sundays only, with an exceptionally powerful reward, higher than any other monster. The requirement to be able to hunt for this Monster is that you have used a certain amount of summoned warriors to create new legions over the last 6 days since Monday 0:01am UTC. Updating existing legions does NOT count towards the requirement. You must use the required amount of warriors to create NEW legions.

Only one legion will be able to attack this monster, and only once per week on Sundays. Monster 25 needs to be hunted individually, in other words the “mass hunt” option will not hunt for this monster.

Marketplace

Players can buy and sell warriors, beasts, and/or entire legions on our internal marketplace. Each transaction is done in $BLOODSTONE, and has a 15% tax paid by the seller at the time of the sale, that goes into the Rewards Pool. The marketplace tax may be adjusted slightly based on the Omni-Balanced Oracle™.
You can easily use the filters at the top of the screen to find the best deals on entire Legions or find the perfect Warriors and Beasts to build or strengthen your own Legions. NFTs that have been added to the marketplace in the last 24 hours will have a “new” badge in the bottom left corner.

As you see in the picture above, legions that have hunted in the last 24 hours, will have a red shopping cart icon. This is because only legions that have not hunted in the last 24 hours can be sold on the marketplace, meaning you can only list a legion 24 hours after its last hunt. At the time of putting your legion on the marketplace, it can have hunting supplies. Of course, you can also sell legions that have no hunting supplies anymore, or never had any hunting supplies. The buyers can see how many hunting supplies your legion has, and they will receive the legion with all of its hunting supplies at the time of the purchase.
Legions that can be sold on the marketplace will have a white shopping cart icon in the bottom right corner of the legion on the Legion page. Legions that cannot be sold, because they have hunted in the last 24 hours, will have a red shopping cart icon. Please note that the dark/night mode on your phone might influence the color of the red shopping cart icon.
Legions with an attack power under 2000 cannot be sold on the marketplace, because they are too weak to hunt. Those legions are your personal trophies, to remind you of the good times they had with you, and they will share the legacy of hunting for you with the next generations to come. For the game itself, they have no function anymore, unless they have space for more warriors/beasts and you update your legion to over 2000 attack power again.

Our Mission

Crypto Legions has a threefold mission to make the world a better place.

1) Great Enrichment:
Having the necessary financial knowledge and experience to know how play-to-earn games are a potential way for people living in developing economies to build reliable passive income streams. By educating people about all aspects of a play-to-earn game, we combat poverty. Additionally, we reserve a part of the tokens to give to less well-off people, including providing a phone and the necessary training, so they can generate potentially an additional income.

2) Great Edutainment:
We strive to make it easy for players outside the crypto space to join our play-to-earn game, by making clear instructional videos, providing simple to understand instructions for beginners, sharing educational videos on our Youtube channel, and providing in-game support. We educate and entertain at the same time.

3) Great Environment
We developed a game story that demonstrates how excessive energy consumption, to which mining cryptocurrencies contribute substantially, affects climate change and depleting earth’s resources. By educating players and making them aware every day through the game of the need for sustainable solutions, we contribute to saving our planet’s environment.
Our mission is mainly focused on the following Sustainable Goals of the United Nations: 1, 2, 4, and 13.
Let’s all make a difference in the world, so humans in the 30th century won’t need to depend on the planet Nicah to survive.

Shatterpoint is an NFT-based, Free-to-Play (F2P), action RPG mobile game built on the Polygon blockchain. Players battle in a Player vs Environment (PvE) campaign to gain Abilities, Experience, and the Equipment needed to take on the challenge of Player vs Player (PvP), the combat mode where in-game Tokens, rewards, and leaderboard domination are at stake.

Welcome to the ShatterPoint Universe

Our world is at risk, do you have the skills to ensure your survival?

500 years ago marks the first time historians recorded the Portals, which were said to have appeared out of nowhere. These mysterious gateways released countless barbaric warriors, twisted monsters, and endless armies across our world.
‍
Most of the world was destroyed, but hope was not lost, for a new army of courageous heroes emerged. Led by the one called Karluq, his band of heroes became known as The Travelers. They were the first to travel to the stars in search of a way to defend their worlds.
‍
Your story begins as you join the honored ranks of The Travelers!

Set in the Shatterpoint universe, players try to escape The Shattering. This irreversible phenomenon resets all the stats of non-NFT Heroes back to zero at the end of each Season. Competing over time-limited challenges, players develop their skill-based gameplay to win in-game resources, progress through the game, and perhaps turn their non-NFT Hero into an NFT, never to fall victim to The Shattering again. Become stronger by acquiring Equipment, upgrading Runes and collecting Quantus. Quantus is an in-game token/resource required for various in-game actions.

Play & Own

Unlike other unsustainable Play-to-Earn and Pay-to-Win games on the market, Shatterpoint focuses on skill-based Free-to-Play and Play & Own models. Shatterpoint is a level playing field – all players have the possibility to upgrade to an NFT-powered Hero and acquire NFT Runes via gameplay. At this point, Shatterpoint becomes a Play & Own game offering players a near-infinite number of playable strategies.

Available on mobile

The Shatterpoint game will be available on App Store and Google Play, while the marketplace will be accessible via mobile and desktop browsers.

Game lore

Spacetime is not as rigid as it seems. From this point onwards, the Interstice, the space in between dimensions, is becoming unstable. In the event called the Shattering, it will break, and time will fold unto itself, molding, ripping, and merging until… it resets to its previous stable state, only to shatter again.
None the wiser, everyone continues through the next cycle — all except for Karluq. He knows the ultimate fate of the universe only too well, retaining his memories and power. Karluq may not be strong enough to affect these cycles on his own, but he can get help. Through the numerous Shatterings, by trial and error, Karluq recruits Travelers: Free Awarenesses merged with Vessels.
Players find themselves in the Interstice as a Free Awareness, able to jump between multiple Vessels and travel through portals to other dimensions. Now they need to venture forth and make their Vessels strong enough to survive the upcoming Shatterings.

The Shattering

At the end of each Season, the universe collapses in on itself in The Shattering. The phenomenon resets all non-NFT Hero levels to their introductory levels. To give existing players an advantage over new ones, everyone gets to keep their Runes and Tokens, with all collected Gear dismantled into Equipment Shards. While devastating, The Shattering allows the universe to recreate itself at the beginning of each Season with new enemies, campaign modes to traverse, and bigger worlds to discover.

Gameplay

PvE
Campaign
The Campaign is (currently) divided into 5 Worlds. Each World has 2 modes: Campaign and Skirmish.

Campaign Levels

Completing Campaign Levels furthers the overall Campaign progress and unlocks new Worlds. Players encounter enemies, find gear chests, and have to complete the main Quest to finish the Level. They can also complete optional Quests to gain more Experience.
Campaign Levels are relatively safe, allowing Players to familiarise themselves with the game’s mechanics. Partial level progress is not saved.

Boss Levels
Boss Levels are a special type of Campaign Level. They are arenas made for facing off against very strong opponent with their own unique mechanics.

If a Boss is not defeated within a certain time limit, they become Enraged. In this mode, the Boss gains various buffs: more damaging attacks, regenerating health, and weak enemies appearing to help, depending on the Boss. While not impossible to win against an Enraged boss, it is considerably more difficult.

Skirmish Levels
Skirmish Levels are endless. They’re mainly for gathering gear from defeated mobs. Items collected are immediately available to be equipped from the inventory screen. Skirmish Levels do not further the main Campaign and are optional.

Enemies
Each world has a unique set of enemies relevant to the world’s environment. Players must be prepared to fight melee, ranged, and other mobs with various special abilities.

Loot

During the adventures in Campaign mode, players receive plenty of equippable items either dropped by defeated enemies or in loot boxes. All equipment provides various affixes and intrinsic stats, and some also give the player abilities (see Equipment section for more info).

PvP

Player vs Player core mode is a best-of-5 3v3 arena team deathmatch. Every player enters with a hero they own or rent. Heroes are not limited, because identical heroes can be built differently, depending on gear.

Initially, matchmaking will be based on a combination of Power Potential (a way of calculating total gear level) and Win/Loss. Before launching a ranked mode, we will most likely implement a form of Elo rating system.

Players can wager some QUA. Winner takes all. We’re also considering a way to introduce asymmetrical wagering.

Shatterpoint economy

The Shatterpoint economy is designed to be run by players for players. Since the in-game reward resource, QUA, is off-chain and non-tradable (except in limited amounts for $SHA via the Shatterpoint Treasury), the economy revolves around NFTs – Heroes, Runes, and more.

Each new season holds the promise of new Heroes but the virtual certainty of new Gear destined to shift the game’s meta. The Gear may fit some Heroes better than others and will need Runes that differ from the previous season’s to boost different abilities. Chasing the latest/hottest build (mix of Hero, Gear and Runes) will fuel the Shatterpoint marketplace and drive the economy.
The Shatterpoint economy will elicit assorted participants and activities – Rune traders and Rune mergers, for example. Traders will purchase Runes on the marketplace, focusing on those that boost particular abilities, gambling on the potential popularity and increasing value of certain boosts in future seasons. Rune mergers will see traders acquiring cheap “redundant” Runes with zero or very few boosts, trying their luck at Merging to create rarer, perhaps more powerful Runes.

We’ll be announcing further details on the Shatterpoint economy as more information is released.

Game resources

Shards
Shards, also known as Equipment Shards, are an in-game resource acquired by dismantling equipment collected in PvE mode, after which they are spent together with Quantus (QUA) to receive Utility Boxes.
Quantus (QUA)
Quantus (QUA) is an infinite-supply in-game reward token for activities within the game
QUA Sources
Players earn QUA by playing the game:
Achievements – A wide array of achievements for the most skilled and committed players to unlock and reap the rewards. Benefits include, but are not limited to QUA
Daily/Weekly/Seasonal Challenges – Available to all players daily/weekly/seasonally, allowing anyone to earn QUA and incentivizing users to be active in PvE & PvP modes
Tournaments & Special Events – The opportunity to win QUA in a series of Tournaments, exciting game modes, and Special Events
Wagered PvP Fights – Players can wage QUA and compete in a number of PvP modes, with winners splitting the prize pool
QUA Uses
Players use QUA for in-game activities, such as:
Engraving & Merging Runes – Runes are an essential part of the gameplay. QUA is needed for Engraving and Merging Runes to reach their full potential
Hero Trait Unlock – QUA is needed to unlock the Hero’s hidden Traits. These Traits strengthen Heroes by increasing their stat points
Hero Trait Reroll – Players can use QUA to reroll their Hero Traits, giving them the potential to gain a Rare or Legendary Trait while boosting the power and value of their character
Utility Boxes – In-game Equipment Shards can be spent together with QUA to receive Utility Boxes containing Gear
Equipment Repair – All equipment items can be repaired using QUA, allowing players to continue using their beneficial powers and beloved gear
Tournament & Special Event tickets – To participate in Special Events and Tournaments where the highest rewards are won, players will need QUA to purchase entry tickets
The Shatterpoint team is currently considering allowing the withdrawal of a limited number of in-game QUA tokens via the Shatterpoint Treasury and exchange to $SHA. With that, we would allow other players to purchase in-game QUA for $SHA from the Shatterpoint Treasury, but only the amount made available by other players selling QUA. It would work as a market maker between players wanting to exchange QUA to $SHA and vice-versa, with price adjustment dependent on supply/demand.

NFTs

The Shatter Point game will have several distinct types of Non-Fungible tokens (NFTs):
Heroes are at the core of Shatterpoint. They are NFT or non-NFT player-controlled avatars engaging in PvE and PvP gameplay modes
NFT Heroes are distributed in limited quantities across each Season
NFT Heroes are incredibly valuable as they avoid the Shattering and keep their level and Traits across Seasons, while all non-NFT Heroes are reset to level 1 and lose their Traits each Season
Every Hero is unique due to its individual set of randomly rolled Traits
Runes are powerful, game-changing artifacts that Heroes can equip to upgrade the special abilities of the items wielded by the character
Cosmetics – skins (cosmetic changes) that can be applied to your equipment, with every Season having a unique set of skins released that may only be acquired during that particular Season
More types of NFT items are being considered and will be added to the game (e.g., Rune Chisels), which can be used by players to add additional Rune slots to their equipment items

Shatterpoint ($SHA)

Shatterpoint ($SHA) is the Governance & Ecosystem Token with several uses:
Governance Token – stake and vote on Shatterpoint’s development/governance decisions. More info to be shared soon.
Staking Rewards – get staking rewards in the form of APY and NFTs. The team is also evaluating to distribute proportion of the Shatterpoint NFT royalties back to the community through Staking.
Bridge between in-game QUA that can be exchanged to/from $SHA in limited quantities.
The team is evaluating the potential for integrating this currency for use on the Shatterpoint Marketplace.
More to be announced and added as the game grows.
Not used as an in-game resource initially. However, in future seasons some NFT upgrade-related activities might be shifted from QUA to $SHA.
Since $SHA will be listed on all the largest exchanges, players can exchange any cryptocurrency for $SHA and vice versa at the market rate.
