Onchain manifesto

Make sure you read this point carefully, here is a transparent statement of the entire economy of Crypterra and the approach will not change.

We have a vision that the future of Web3 gaming lies in open and autonomous game worlds.

Sanctuary Valley — the most populated metropolis of crypterra

Persistent Onchain Economy

Working on Crypterra, we aim to create a world that embraces the diversity and excitement of deck-building gameplay, while utilising the full potential of a blockchain-based economy.

Crypterra embodies the concept of Persistent Onchain Economy — the autonomous self-regulating onchain economy that allows to integrate external mechanics.

1. Autonomy. Crypterra is a group of interconnected smart contracts of biomes and mechanics. It is completely autonomous and independent of the frontend/backend and does not require outside maintenance to function. If you want to, you can play through direct interactions with smart contracts, bypassing the interface.

2. Self-regulation. Crypterra has built-in mechanics of seasons that regulate the economy based on inflation and load, keeping the game sustainable. The more funds game contract spends on rewards this season, the higher the cost of energy and HP will be during the next season.*

3. Openness. The source code of Crypterra assets and biome contracts is open, allowing users to create their own biomes with unique properties. This would enrich Crypterra with unique features.

Crypterra Unwavering Principles

0% Team Tokens

In Crypterra, the team has no token allocations to mitigate any risks that could affect the sustainable development of the project.

The history of GameFi projects shows that most projects fail because developers keep giant token allocations, which are then sold uncontrollably.

In our tokenomics, any allocation of tokens that could be controlled by the team is eliminated.

Team & Community partnership

Both the players and the team benefit from the increasing popularity of the game.

The team earns $0.09 from every transaction within the game and a 5% royalty on the NFT marketplace.

The more players join, the higher are in-game transactions volumes, and the higher is the income of the team. At the same time, as more and more people join Crypterra, the demand for the token grows, and so grows the price of the token, increasing the players’ income.

Since the team doesn’t have token allocations, the developers and players in Crypterra are not competitors, but partners.

Scalability

Our goal is to design Crypterra in a way that the massive influx of users wouldn’t ruin the game economy. Usually, when there’s a lot of players joining the game, the price of a token skyrockets and raises the entry threshold. A high entry threshold leads to a sharp decrease in the flow of new users and the token price falls.

That’s why we are introducing an Oracle system, which sets the in-game prices fixed in USD value, while all transactions are carried out in $ERA. This ensures that the entry cost remains the same regardless of the volatility of the token price.

Predictability

In-game prices and rewards are set via the Oracle system in USD, while the transactions remain in $ERA. This way users can calculate ROI and effectively plan their playing strategy in the long term.

Encourage reinvestment

Users can spend $ERA from expeditions immediately and without fees on in-game purchases.

ETH for loyalty

There’re special biomes and zones opening for loyal long-term players exclusively, where they can earn ETH in addition to $ERA tokens.

Smart ones always win

The variability of strategies creates room for attentive and agile players. Carefully study the game rules, search for valuable offers on the marketplace and smart strategies will lead you to success.

Updates hand in hand with community

Updates related to changes in the game economy are accepted only with the approval of the community.

Rarity protection

The team will never introduce methods of obtaining rare items that would negatively affect their value.

Deflation mechanics

Over time, the cost of in-game consumables goes up and rewards go down. These small changes occur once a season, but have a significant impact on the sustainability of Crypterra in the long run.

With these transparent principles, we aim to contribute to the fair and sustainable onchain gaming. Let’s build a future where players and developers collaborate seamlessly in a decentralized digital landscape

• The team reserves the right to manually declare seasons and regulate the economy during the first three seasons.
