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. Further the user can place redirection link for their social media handles /webpages and boost their visibility.

2. Entertainment features

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
The Metaverse industry is a $1 trillion annual revenue opportunity , 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 FLOKI’s NFT Metaverse game that will be powered by the FLOKI token. Valhalla will feature A-level game mechanics on the blockchain. This includes on-chain gaming interactions and upgradeable NFTs.

Valhalla will be quite unique due to the robust PlayToEarn mechanics it will feature:
A gardening system.
In-game characters known as Vera.
A robust battle system.
An in-game ship system.
An items system.
These PlayToEarn mechanics will allow users to earn and collect FLOKI tokens by playing Valhalla, thereby making Valhalla a viable way for millions of people to generate an income.

Players will be able to communicate, monitor each other’s progress, and encounter one another in the Valhalla Metaverse.

The first major release of Valhalla with Open World went live in Q4 2022. It is currently playable on the Optimism Goerli testnet.
Here’s how to play:
Add the Metamask browser extension to your browser.
Visit “Settings,” “Networks” and then click “Add Network” to add the required network:
– Network name: Optimism Goerli
– RPC Url: https://goerli.optimism.io
– Chain ID: 420
– Block Explorer: https://optimism.io
Visit https://faucet.paradigm.xyz and claim a test token to play the Alpha. Make sure to check the box below the wallet address field. You will receive one test token displayed as “ETH” in your wallet.
Make sure to switch to the Optimism Kovan network in Metamask.
Visit http://valhalla.game and click “Play.”
It’s that simple. Now loaded with test tokens, you can enter Valhalla and get an early taste of the most exciting play-to-earn metaverse project in crypto. Skol, viking!

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.

In the world of Tales of Angels, the Gods seek to keep the peace from the enemy attacks generated by evil spirits and demons that have emerged from the underworld to steal mythical objects that belong to the Gods. With these, they could increase their power much more.

The Adventure will be the one primary source of income in the game. Each player will have to think accordingly to their NFT elements and status to successfully complete the map chosen. There will be 4 types of maps which. Each one will have a level of rarity so each God can farm in it.

Dungeons are the second form of farming inside the game. This mode, in particular will have higher rewards than the Adventure mode, and the items drop rate will be rarer than the adventure. Dungeons will require three times more energy than adventure mode.

Presale : 1 March 2022

Lore

In the world of Tales of Angels, the Gods seek to keep the peace from the enemy attacks generated by corrupt spirits and demons that have emerged from the underworld to steal mythical objects that belong to the Gods. With these, they could increase their power much more.

Having the same objective gods and angels join forces to prevent the mythical objects to be stolen so they can keep the peace take care of their people and protect the most powerful objects in the entire universe, it would be a problem if they fell into the wrong hands

In the year 700 B.C. during the appearance of one of the most powerful Gods in human history. Zeus who in the world of Tales of Angels rules Olympus allied with other gods, including Artemis, Ares, and Poseidon, who prioritized keeping the peace.

One day everything changes, the appearance of Hades arrives who commands a whole troop of warriors and evil spirits who came to steal one of the most important mystical objects, with this granted power they destroyed a part of the city by opening a portal where they could enter more than 100,000 evil spirits.

All the gods got very angry and gathered more angelic forces to fight the problem that hades had caused, among them were Chronos, Hermes, and Athenas who worked hard to solve by going on expeditions in order to find the whereabouts of hades and thus be able to remove him the magic object.

Some demigods were interested in fighting alongside Zeus and his crew of gods including Aton, Hamori, Banzai, and Magni to protect the future of the nation.
Seeing so much determination and so much power that was felt in all parts of the world, warriors from all over became interested in pursuing a dream of being recognized for their efforts before the God Zeus, so they steeled themselves and trained hard to help in such expeditions and thus search for objects, clues, and information on where you can find the magic piece that made everything go out of control, the crown of Hades.

What is Tales of Angels?

Tales of Angels is a new generation Click-to-earn game that will bring players the sense of fun and progression that other P2E games are missing. We have prepared different game modes where players will have their own strategy according to their investment while at the same time having fun. Also, even though we know that NFT games are at the beginning of something big in the future, our vision includes the development of this incredible idea into an actual playable 3D game.

Players will be able to trade and sell their Gods and Mystical Items to other players and also bet on PVP with the conviction of their Gods. The game has calculated a considerable ROI for every player and investment category so people can earn from the game and keep upgrading their characters.

The game will work on the Binance Smart Chain ( BEP-20) which has given a lot of good results when it comes to reliability, transactions fees, and velocity.

Gods

Gods are the rulers of the world against the demons
Gods are the strongest characters in the game. With the power of Gods, you will be able to farm in different areas and game modes. Each God has different attributes that will specialize in something different. Gods will also have rarities as follow:
​​
​​- Common

These are known as demigods. They are hybrid humans that contain a small portion of the power of Gods. They will work as soldiers which will have 4 different elements as well, and will be available as:
— Male Warrior
— Female Warrior

– Rare

Rares are also known as Insanity Gods. They possess the power of Gods but they have to respect the higher grade Gods as they are more powerful. They will have complete powers and will be available as:
— Aton
— Hamori
— Benzai
— Magni

– Epic

These are very powerful Gods that almost enter the legendary category. They are also known as Mighty Gods. They rule the earth and have a high level of respect from other creatures. They will be available as follow:
— Chronos
— Hermes
— Ares
— Athena

– Legendary

Legendary Gods rule the Sky and the Earth. They have the most powerful mystical items and they are responsible to guard against the demons. They are also known as God-Level and their power can not be compared. They will be available as follow:
— Zeus
— Artemis
— Hades
— Poseidon

​​Demons

Demons wants to steal the power of Gods though mystical item
Demons will be the enemies of the Gods in the game. They won”t be playable characters but players will fight against them to protect the Mystical items and prevent the demons to obtain their power. Through adventure mode, players might face small demons. However, in dungeons is where you can encounter Boss level demons that give more rewards.

There will be different kinds of demons such as:

– Mammon: Demon of Greed
– Asmodeus: Demon of Lust
– Leviathan: Demon of Envy
– Beelzebub: Demon of Gluttony
– Lucifer: Demon of Wrath
– Belphegor: Demon of Sloth
– There will be one more which will be a surprise for those who get to the last level of the dungeon.

Elements

The powers of elements are for those who think wisely
Elements are a counter mechanic inside the game. They work as increase/decrease stats mechanics to balance the decisions of the players and add some level of difficulty to the game. Elements will also determine the earnings and item drops for the player. For example, we have implemented that elements counters will increase success probability when cleaning an adventure map or even have increased power against dungeons monster of the opposite element.
Elements work as follow:

Farming Modes

The sources of income in the game
Clear the adventure mode or dungeons every day with your powerful Gods defeating demons to gain greatness powerful items and $ANGT tokens.

Mystical Items & Craft

Those who deserve to be called God are the ones who have the power of the mystical items.
Crafting will have an essential function inside the game. A large part of the economy will be based on dropped items and crafting. Players will face situations where they will need other player’s items to craft the Mystical item that they are looking for. This would create a circular economy inside the game where money can keep rotating and items will keep on demand.
Mystical Items are divided into two groups, the requirements
and the product which are:

-Divine Items ( Equipment)

-Demonic Items ( Requirement)

PVP

Defeat other players and get amazing rewards
List up to 5 Gods using different elements to fight others players Gods and let the most powerful God win. Earn $ANGT Tokens every time you defeat other players. Matches will be determined by players MMR ( God’s total power)
To fight another player each side must bet a certain amount of $ANGT Token the amount of $ANGT Token must be equal and the winner takes 75% of the rewards, then the remaining 25% goes to the reward pool.

Circular Economy

A step to the future of NFT game economy

The team has taken time to investigate what happens with most of the play-to-earn or click-to-earn games of the season and we have found few things in common. Games are actually good and enjoyable, people like to play them and invest in them without issues as long they can make some money from them. However, there’s one thing that we must take into account. Once people get their ROI and start getting extra value from the game the reward pool starts to decrease continuously until either the token or the game dies.

This partially happens because:
They are missing enough burning methods to keep the supply and demand stable.
They don’t have a way of reinvestment after the initial investment.

Taking this into account we can come to the conclusion that the fix to the problem is to implement a solution to these particular issues. That’s where Circular Economy starts its magic on Tales of Angels.

The circular economy will be based on dropped items that will be extremely valuable for players and the game for progression. Players always want a future in the game and we have given them one through crafting. While farming and completing dungeons you will always have the chance to get items that are useful to craft Mystical Items.

The question would be: How can crafting regulate the circular economy?

This can be answered in different ways since the circular economy scheme will be in the future a composition of different elements that complement each other. For now, the marketplace will be the key to this.

New Players will be able to buy Gods from the marketplace, but they should not be interested in buying crafting items unless they know how the game works in depth. Players who find crafting items will be able to put them into the marketplace for sale.

After people get their ROI and start to get value from the game, automatically it will slowly start to get harder and require God’s equipment upgrades which means that crafting items will be on-demand. People will have the option to try to fight with the minimum requirement or to consistently upgrade their Gods to keep on the meta.

An example would look like this.
(x) God with (x) rarity has (750) Power. Dungeon requirements after the first season will increase to (1000) Power. The Player would need to upgrade God’s gear to get the extra (250) Power in order to match or surpass the power of the Dungeon. Crafting Items will only be sold by players and not the game itself.

Chronos Oracle

A a function to keep everyone’s money and roi safe

The purpose of the Chronos Oracle is to balance the payment of the token in this case ANGT (Angel-Token) obtained through the game averaging the needed amount to match the current ROI in dollars.

If you currently get 10 tokens per adventure cleared, at a cost of 0,10$, it would mean that you get 1$ per expedition. However, if the token decreases in value then the Chronos oracle will match the number of tokens needed to get the ROI accordingly ( 20 tokens at 0,05$ cost per 1$ generated and so on) and the player’s payment will be made on $BUSD.

Lastly, if the mint of the dungeons, craft system, and fees makes the coin increase in value then it will require fewer tokens, and if the mint of the mentioned decreases then it will require more tokens. This will maintain the in-game economy and will balance the cost of minting God’s and all the other activities.

$ANGT Token

The ANGT is a (BSC- BEP20) token that will function as the main in-game currency.
The token will be used in different ways such as:
Earning rewards from Farming / Arena PVP / Dungeons
Staking rewards
Upgrading characters gears to increase maps entries
Fee cost for crafting Mystical objects
Commission for NFT combination
Trading on DEX’s
Marketplace items

Play and earn our WAX token BOOM, collect NFT weapon parts, merge them into NFT weapons, add NFT boosters and new NFT characters, take down enemies, travel to different planets using NFT spaceships, challenge your friends in NFT arenas.. all on the blockchain!!

What is Crypto Shots?

Crypto Shots is a #play-to-earn game that allows you to earn our tokens and our NFTs, all while having fun! Most of the play-to-earn games on WAX are 2D and simple click-to-earn games. But hey.. the 90’s called and want the 2D games back! ?

We think that the blockchain can be leveraged to power more entertaining games.
And since there were no other Shooter 3D games on Wax and Hive back when we started in October 2021, we decided that it was our mission to bring one to all the players out there that want to play, earn and have fun too!

Other blockchains already moved in this direction but they opted for Console games. We believe that we can reach the masses delivering a 3D game for browsers, so that it can be played across a variety of different devices: desktop browsers, mobile browsers, tablets, VR headsets, ..you name it!

But the development of a 3D game takes time, so in the meantime we start creating the NFTs for our game using the same 3D models that will be in the game, and we put them to use in a Discord game that we developed in order to allow our users to premine our $BOOM token.

Milestones achieved so far:

October ’21: kick-off of the project (personal investment of about $ 50,000)
NFT sales: all sold-out. Raised about $ 50,000 in WAX on top of the initial funding.
November ’21: launch of our Discord Game B-otto and then Teknopolly.
January 23rd: launch of the alpha version of our 3D game on the WAX testnet (https://playtest.crypto-shots.com?test=alpha)
[in progress] February 2022: launch of the alpha on the WAX mainnet
For the next goals see our ROADMAP ..spoilers: HIVE, ETH 2.0, VR/AR #metaverse, Multiplayer, …

Discord Game

The minimum requirement to start playing our Discord game is.. one Base Gun.
This is the very first Crypto Shots NFT minted on the WAX blockchain!

The Base Gun allows you to play straight away with our Discord bot B-otto in its dedicated Discord channel, and pre-mine our $BOOM token.

You can expand your Inventory with more weapons and items so that you can premine more of it. All the NFTs purchased for the Discord game have an use in the 3D game.

The Base Gun will be your default weapon in our First-Person-Shooter Game, and if you have more powerful weapons in your wallet, you will be able to find them, pick them up and use them against the enemies.

Unlike the other weapons that are level specific, the Base Gun can be used in every single level of the 3D game.
Note that all the level 0 (warehouse) weapons can be used on Discord as well.

Another perk of the Base Gun is that you can auto-stake them to earn up to 30% more BOOM tokens every time you win in the Discord game (+1% reward per extra gun). This is higher than the “level weapons”.

So, now that we explained you what you need to start playing to earn, let’s see how..

How to shoot in the Discord game

When you first join you need to link your Wax account with the !REGISTER command,
then to shoot you can just use !SHOOT

Possible outcomes:

Target HIT = +1 $BOOM (50% chance)
Target MISS = +0.2 $BOOM (25% chance)
SHOT back = -0.1 $BOOM (25% chance)

Every time you earn $BOOM (ie. you did not get shot) you also receive additional rewards based on your auto-staked NFTs (weapons and other items from your Inventory).

Extra rewards:

1. Base Gun = +(N x 1) % BOOM reward. N = amount of Base Guns.

2. early-bird Discord role (assigned to the first 300 users that joined our Discord)
= +0.5% $BOOM. Applied to the Discord game only. Gives also other whitelisting perks.

3. Discord XP earned engaging with other users (without spamming)
= +(L x 0.1)% $BOOM
Examples: level 4 = +0.4% $BOOM, level 30 = +3% $BOOM
Users that reach level 10, 20 and 30 will also earn our Epic Badges that have the same booster in the 3D game.

OUR NFTs

WEAPONS:

The Base Gun allows you to shoot every 3 hours in our Discord game.
If you want to shoot more often than that, you can power up your arsenal.

The most powerful weapon that you have in your wallet is what determines your shooting frequency.

Depending on how many weapons you have, you will also earn a higher amount of $BOOM.

How to obtain your weapons:

You can purchase directly the full weapons or the weapon parts the from other players that listed them on AtomicHub;
Or you can purchase the weapon parts packs, so that when you open them you can try and find weapon parts with the same rarity.
Once you have all the required weapon parts, you can then blend them to create the full weapons.

Note: the Base Gun is not sold in parts therefore it does not require blending.

Play. Create. Own. Govern. Earn. Welcome to the Metaverse Own a part of the Virtual World Metaverse. Build your own creative games on Virtual Land.

What is LAND in The Sandbox?
A LAND is a digital piece of real estate in The Sandbox metaverse that players can buy to build experiences on top of. Once you own a LAND, you will be able to populate it with Games and Assets. Each LAND is a unique non-fungible token lying on the public Ethereum blockchain.

SAND

SAND is the utility token used throughout The Sandbox ecosystem as the basis for transactions and interactions. It is an ERC-20 utility token built on the Ethereum blockchain. There is a finite supply of 3,000,000,000 SAND.

What is “The Sandbox” (SAND)

The Sandbox is a virtual metaverse where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain using the platform’s utility token SAND. Players can create digital assets in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), upload them to the marketplace, and integrate them into games with Game Maker.

A LAND is a digital piece of real estate in The Sandbox metaverse that players can buy to build experiences on. Once a player owns a piece of LAND, they will be able to populate it with games and ASSETS. Multiple LANDS can be combined to form an ESTATE.

A total of 166,464 LANDS will be available, contained in a map that will form The Sandbox metaverse.

GEMS and CATALYSTS define the tier, scarcity, and attributes of ASSETS. CATALYSTS add empty sockets to the NFTs that can be filled with GEMS. The higher the quality of the CATALYST, the more sockets your ASSET will have.

Users can monetize their time on the platform, by keeping 95% of the SAND revenue by:

The Sandbox team is building a unique virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences using SAND, the main utility token of the platform.

SAND holders will be also able to participate in governance of the platform via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), where they can exercise voting rights on key decisions of The Sandbox ecosystem. As a player, you can create digital assets (Non-Fungible Tokens, aka NFTs), upload them to the marketplace, and drag-and-drop them to create game experiences with The Sandbox Game Maker. The Sandbox has secured over 50 partnerships including Atari, Crypto Kitties, and Shaun the Sheep to build a fun, creative “play-to-earn” Gaming platform, owned and made by players. The Sandbox aims to bring blockchain into mainstream gaming, attracting both crypto and non-crypto game enthusiasts by offering the advantages of true-ownership, digital scarcity, monetization capabilities, and interoperability

Selling ASSETS

Users can create and sell ASSETS on the marketplace as NFTs.

Owning a LAND

Buying a LAND in one of the LAND sales. Players can then rent them or populate them with content to increase the LAND’s value.

Building Games on the Game Maker

Build and monetize games using the Game Maker on the LANDS that are owned by players.

Through the use of ERC-1776, The Sandbox allows platform users to initiate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain while transaction gas fees are paid by the platform, optimizing overall user experience.

50% of all SAND transactions collected from LAND sales, Premium NFT sales, transaction fees and subscription services goes to the Foundation

The Foundation supports the ecosystem of The Sandbox, contributing to the growth of awareness about NFTs, the Metaverse, and $SAND.

The Foundation is currently involved with

Managing the Game Makers Fund and Creators Fund, offering grants to incentivize high quality content and game production in The Sandbox.

Funding over 17 game projects, some of which have been unveiled to the public at https://www.sandbox.game/game/top

Distributing grants to 100 artists to produce NFTs, most of which can be seen at http://www.sandbox.game/shop

Supporting local community managers to grow awareness around the globe about The Sandbox, NFTs and blockchain gaming via our Community Rewards and Ambassadors program https://medium.com/sandbox-game/the-sandbox-ambassador-program-4f00bb5c9c24

Sponsoring prizes for the various contests organized by The Sandbox team (VoxEdit Contests and Game Jams) to stimulate the creativity of users around the world and get them to engage with the tools of our platform.

Supporting play-to-earn tournaments and cross-gaming with activities that encourage the broader adoption of SAND.

Platform

Gameplay Experience

The gaming experience on the new The Sandbox platform will be launched through several intermediary phases, with increasingly more complex features in each. When the alpha version is launched, players will be able to make transactions and store their digital voxel ASSETS while also playing and interacting with other voxel asset creators and players in different user generated worlds. The gaming experience will make The Sandbox a strong blockchain-based alternative to existing platforms such as Minecraft and Roblox.

Even for players who do not create discrete items to sell on the UGC store, the combination of creativity and security can pay off for players who create LANDS with compelling attractions. This is because a LAND might have different revenue streams implemented on it, like microtransactions. Additionally, players can play-to-earn by collecting rewards through gameplay.

We expect a wide variety of audiences to enjoy gaming experiences in The Sandbox marketplace. We have identified some of the types of games creators will be able to craft for them:

● Social Experiences: The ASSET marketplace will allow creators to fully decorate their spaces with beautiful sceneries and structures such as a fairy wonderland, a medieval town, or even a futuristic space station. These types of experiences can attract communities of in-game friends that hang out for activities that combine social and gameplay elements.
● Build & Craft: Our voxel map is ideal for creators to make Building & Crafting experiences. Creators will be able to facilitate players with interesting experiences like building
competitions, creating their own play spaces. All these tools and mechanics will be able to interact with the terrain to modify it, build over it or even completely destroy it.
● Exploration & Adventure: Solve the mystery of the cursed swamp, slay the mercenary king of the endless desert, help the rebellion of the exiled prince of the elder LANDS or even discover all the hidden secrets of the ancient temple! Creators will be able to bring narrative, exploration and adventure gameplay to their LAND. Each new LAND will be different, offering new potential to discover new LANDS, meet new people and discover never before seen secrets!

Map – LANDS

The persistent map determines a player’s specific LAND coordinate. In most blockchain games where player domains are sold like real estate, the specific location of a domain is of paramount importance as it will determine who and what you are next to. Similarly, in The Sandbox there is a finite amount of LANDS, and their location is determined initially in the map, and cannot be moved from one coordinate of the world map to the other.

There are several advantages to this structure:

● Players have the agency to combine LANDS to create a bigger gaming space with and near
their friends; and
● Friends can cooperate in the creation of these larger experiences by building experiences together within the combined LAND and thus sharing the rewards (whether financial or purely social or artistic).

There is also an economic incentive for players to work together via a combined LAND. For instance, if several players band together they can create a ‘theme park’ experience, with each member focusing on a key attraction, or members can focus on distinct neighborhoods that together create a ‘city’ experience. In each case, the team effort allows players to cooperatively create a stronger incentive for players to visit and enjoy their creations—and more visits results in more revenue to be shared.

It’s true that a single player with one LAND can keep all the revenue from that LAND, but a larger, more diverse collection of LANDS combined can boost financial rewards to be shared by charging, for example, for a SUPER PASS that allows a player to visit all the gaming experiences in a combined LAND, with the revenue from the SUPER PASS shared between all the owners of said LAND.

There will be limits on joining LANDS together to keep certain conglomerations from having too much control and power against solo players.

Recent information has been released on The Sandbox Transportation System.

ASSETS Marketplace

The marketplace will use smart contracts to control item auctions and transactions. This open marketplace for creators and developers will allow for the free trade of in-game assets between the platform users. Additional benefits of this marketplace are that economic principles of supply and demand become automatically integrated into the system, allowing the community to determine the fair price of usergenerated ASSETS. The true strength of this marketplace, however, is that creators of such ASSETS can finally generate true tangible real-world value from the voxel content they create.

The ASSET tokens in our marketplace will require several pieces of information in order to properly be displayed as a sellable good. These pieces of info are:

● Name & Genre: In order to better identify the ASSET being sold, and to help potential buyers in finding it in the marketplace, the ASSET will require a name and a genre;
● Description: The description will help creators add specifications like size, model, potential uses or even attach a short piece of fictional lore to the ASSET;
● Thumbnail: The marketplace will show what the ASSET itself looks like via several thumbnails of the ASSET. We will include a feature in our voxel editor that will automatically generate these thumbnails for the creators;
● Price: The creator will have total control over the price the ASSET will have on the marketplace. This price will be set in SAND.
● Value: Creators will define Rarity, Scarcity and Attributes thanks to the Gems & Catalytsts system.

Once all these requirements are met, the ASSET will be successfully displayed on the marketplace and be available for purchase.

VoxEdit

Under the philosophy of “CREATE, ANIMATE, PLAY” VoxEdit is the voxel modeling software that allows the artist to rig models and animate them using a user-friendly keyframe interpolation timeline.

● Modeling: Having other software that also lets you model your own voxel art – what makes the modeling in VoxEdit different is that it is aimed at artists. That commodity is
thanks to a user-friendly interface, powerful tools to let the artists model anything they want, but also stay connected with them all the time to hear their feedback, what would be nice to have, and especially what would make their life using VoxEdit much easier.

● Animation: Here is where VoxEdit stands out. VoxEdit uses a skeletal system with hierarchies, like the ones used in professional 3D software like Maya, 3D Max, Cinema 4D, etc, allowing the Artist to rig anything they want and be ready for animation. It is the only voxel modeling software that allows to model AND animate your ASSETS. Once the skeleton is made, the artist can create any type of animation moving the different parts of their model with an easy-to-use timeline. The timeline works like a video editing software timeline, using layers to represent what part of the model you are moving and creating key-frames to set the position, rotation and scale. The magic happens thanks to the interpolation of these key-frames that the timeline does in the background.

● Exporting:
VoxEdit allows the artist to export their creation in .VXM and .VXR, formats that our Marketplace and games use to create a super smooth communication between the three parts. Besides that, it also lets export in the standard formats such as .OBJ and also .DAE and .GLTF for the models with animations on it.

Axie Infinity

Official Axie Infinity Whitepaper, last updated November 2021

Axie Infinity Universe

Axie Infinity is a game universe filled with fascinating creatures, Axies, that players can collect as pets. Players aim to battle, breed, collect, raise, and build kingdoms for their Axies. The universe has a player-owned economy where players can truly own, buy, sell, and trade resources they earn in the game through skilled-gameplay and contributions to the ecosystem.
There are and will be many varied games experiences for Axies. Many of them will have players compete with each other using complex strategies and tactics to attain top rankings or be rewarded with coveted resources. Others will have them complete quests, defeat bosses, and unlock in-depth storylines.

There are countless unique Axies that players can collect with varying body parts and appearances. Body parts will unlock abilities for Axies that vary across games, they will have completely different values, benefits, and skills from one game to another. Body parts also have their own unique card art for players to collect.

Community & Economy

All art assets and Axie genetic data can be easily accessed by 3rd parties, allowing community developers to build their own tools and experiences in the Axie Infinity universe. While still in early access, Axie is ranked the #1 Ethereum game by daily, weekly, and monthly active users. Players have spent over 1M ETH (3B+ USD) so far to progress in the game.
While Axie is a fun game, it’s also taken on characteristics of a social network and earning platform due to the strong community and opportunity to truly own resources earned within the games.
A key difference between Axie and a traditional game is that Blockchain economic design unlocks the ability to have complex player-owned economies and reward players who are able to reach advanced levels of skill. Players are able to have fun and work towards ambitious goals while simultaneously earning potential resources that will have real monetary value due to an open economic system and demand from other players – “Play-and-Earn”.

Currently, players can gain more resources to advance in the game by taking actions such as:
– Competing in Battles to win leaderboard prizes as well as Smooth Love Potions (SLP)
– Breeding Axies to produce new ones with particular Body Part combinations
– Collecting and speculating on rare Axies such as Mystics and Origins

Mission

Create an ecosystem of amazing Axie gaming experiences with community and player-owned economies as foundational pillars.

Vision

A digital nation where people globally come together with their Axies to play, earn, and live.
Welcome to our revolution.

Disclaimer: Please note that anything written in this white paper should not be taken as financial advice. Axie is a bleeding-edge game that’s incorporating unfinished, risky, and highly experimental technology. Development priorities, roadmaps, and features are subject to radical overhaul based on research, traction, feedback from the community, and a myriad of other factors.

Gameplay

Axie Infinity is structured as an open-ended digital pet universe. The Axie core team will build functionality for the game assets associated with the Axie brand in concurrence with the community. The Axie universe must be fun above all else; only by having an immersive gaming experience can the ecosystem attract enough participants to accrue value to the network.
