Citadels in the metaverse are fighting each other using dangerous Viruses. Laboratories are used to produce a precious supply of $AMINO. $AMINOs are used to synthesise Viruses, evolve them or buy more Laboratories to speed up the process.
The Goal
0xPandemic is a play to earn blockchain game based on NFTs. Synthesise $AMINO with your labs, evolve and collect the right viruses, spread and control key Citadel of the map to earn resources and defeat your opponents.
Like in our world, natural resources are limited, so the competition is fierce.
The Fair Launch
There is no whitelist, no premine $AMINO and no exorbitant minting costs. Get ready to buy a Laboratory and activate it to earn $AMINO. The only way to acquire $AMINO is by staking labs, even the team has to play the game to earn them.
We aim for the most possible fair distribution to foster the spread and grow a community as much as possible.
What is 0xPandemic?
0xPandemic is an on-chain game based on ERC-721 and ERC-20 standards to represent the game state. It’s deployed on Polygon.
There are a few tokens involved to represent the game state:
$AMINO: an ERC20 token that is the main game currency. It can be used to either create new viruses or to improve (or worsen) existing ones.
Notice: Until Phase 4, $AMINOs are non-transferable.
Labs: ERC721 NFT tokens that can be used to safely generate $AMINO without being involved in any PvP. These are scarce, initially available only on the presale stage.
Viruses: ERC721 NFT tokens are the main component of the PvP. They are randomly synthesized by spending $AMINO and can have different traits:
Virulence (Eyes): How fast it will spread in a populated area.
Purity (Colour): Affects the rewards obtained from a conquered area.
Mildness (Membrane): How likely it will kill the infected population.
Resistance (Body): The more Resistance, the less likely a conquered area is stolen by an adversary player.
Replication (Core): This also affects how it spreads in a populated area.
Citadels: NFT ERC721 tokens that represent the right to exploit a conquered area and get $AMINO rewards. A player could conquer an area and trade/rent this NFT for exploitation rights.
What’s the twist?
0xPandemic is a risk protocol for NFTs. Once a virus exists, $AMINO can be invested in evolving it. Evolution in nature is random and the same happens here.
Are you willing to risk and evolve multiple times your virus to search for the perfectly evolved spreading machine? Do you prefer to focus on earning to invest in viruses that others created and trade with them? Are you a trader, a researcher or a fighter?
Whatever your play style is, you can fit here.
You can read more information about the project details and roadmap in the Litepaper section of the 0xPandemic project website.
What is the presale about?
You can soon mint up to 5 Labs per wallet here
Labs are what you need to start earning $AMINO (non-transferable yet) to create viruses later. Once you acquire your lab, you can stake it straight away and start earning rewards!
A maximum of 60,000.00 $AMINO (non-transferable yet) are minted every day, and this amount is shared between the laboratory stakers. The more laboratories you have, the bigger the portion you get.
The launch is structured on batches, $MATIC is used to acquire them, and there will be 8888 laboratories minted during the presale. Laboratory prices depend on how many already have been minted:
0-500 laboratories: 2 $MATIC
501-800 laboratories: 4 $MATIC
801-1000 laboratories: 8 $MATIC
1001-3000 laboratories: 16 $MATIC
3001-5000 laboratories: 32 $MATIC
5001-7000 laboratories: 40 $MATIC
7001-8000 laboratories: 80 $MATIC
8001-8888 laboratories: 200 $MATIC
Labs distribution
Labs are the core of 0xPandemic’s token economics. We want to have them distributed as much as we can.
Because of that, they are distributed as for below details:
1% Team (88 labs)
4% Ecosystem Treasury (355 labs)
95% Community (8445 labs )
Ecosystem Treasury allocation
There is a fund for the Ecosystem treasury, to fund marketing, drops and anything that can help the development and growth of the game itself.
A total of 355 labs are reserved to the community treasury address. This is 4% of the total laboratories allocation.
There is no $AMINO preminting for the community allocation, so these laboratories will be progressively staked to increase the $AMINO community wallet over time that will exclusively be used to encourage community growth.
We think that actively participating in the research for $AMINO instead of just allocating a percentage is fairer for everyone and for the health of the $AMINO ERC20 when it is launched.
Dev team allocation
A total of 88 labs are reserved to the developer’s treasury address. This is 1% of the total laboratories allocation.
In the same way as the community allocation, developers won’t get any allocation of the $AMINO token, instead, laboratories will be given to staking as everyone else.
Community allocation
Most of the lab supply, 95%, is for the community of players aka 8445 labs are available for minting. The gamers are the ones who long term will shape the future of the game itself.
$AMINO Supply considerations
$AMINO’s supply is in discovery mode until phase 4. It means we can experiment more with the gamification of token economics and use the community feedback to understand the right amount of rewards to having an enjoyable game.
Three main drivers are in place to control the supply:
Rewards per period aka how much $AMINO are created over time can change.
Burn mechanisms like minting or evolving a virus destroy the $AMINO in circulation.
The number of Generation 0 labs in circulation are limited
Once phase 4 is in place ($AMINO will be a redeemable ERC20 token) we expect to have more data and move, over time, towards a deflationary supply.
Roadmap
Phase 1
Buy Labs and stake them to earn $AMINO (non-transferable) rewards.
Phase 2
Use $AMINO to synthesise (transferable) Viruses with random traits.
Phase 3
Evolve your virus traits by using $AMINO.
Phase 4
Redeem (non transferable) $AMINO for the ERC-20 $AMINO token.
Phase 5
Viruses infect Citadels (PvP). The dominant variant in a citadel earns $AMINO.
What next?
If you are an artist reach us at dev@0xpandemic.com we have some ideas that we would like to discuss.
If you are a social/community manager reach us at dev@0xpandemic.com we need help.
If you are a known person in the NFTs/blockchain/game scene reach us at dev@0xpandemic.com we want to add progressively three people in the Ecosystem Treasury multisig.
If you are a whale please be considerate :)
If you like the game and you want to spread the word we are putting in place an early adopter reward program to win free labs and $AMINO.
And finally of course if you like the concept mint your labs as soon it’s available :)
