Technical Grant Application - Fragmented Spells an Enjoy & Earn Ecosystem - Tier 1-2

http://www.fragmentedspells.com

INTRODUCTION
Fragmented Spells is as much a game of strategy as it is a game of economics, collecting, chance and entrepreneurship.

Why create Fragmented Spells?
As collectors and lovers of communities that form around the exchange, competition and luck of obtaining an extremely rare or powerful piece, we have created a model that we have called Enjoy & Earn (E&E) that captures these characteristics and also rewards and empowers the community.

The world of NFT games is still in its early stages, so there is not much reference about it and unfortunately most of the projects result in Scams or failures by design.

Our goal is to provide a platform/game where users can interact in different ways according to their own preferences and interests, offering a dynamic ecosystem with a healthy internal economy.

- Scope of the system
The scope of the project is wide and depends on the interests of each participant. There will be room for gamers, investors and collectors interested mainly in the ecosystems that develop around NFT games.

-Objectives and success criteria of the Project
To attract to the ecosystem investors, academies, players and scholars who enjoy the alternatives we offer and contribute to the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem.
The success criteria of the project for our early stages are the following.

  • Corporate image
  • Artistic design I
  • Website development
  • Whitepaper release
  • Marketing campaign I
  • Growth in social networks
  • Elaboration of smart contracts for conflux and binance Smart chain networks
  • NFT pre-sales
  • Staking of NFTs
  • DFK token ICO
  • Economic simulation on mainnet ecosystem
  • Marketplace I
    Scholar: user who participates in an ecosystem with assets provided by a third party (investor). The rewards obtained by the scholar are shared by mutual agreement.
    Manager: user who facilitates assets for other users to participate in the ecosystem.

-References
The game is inspired by Magic The Gathering, Teamfight Tactics and Axie Infinity with some additional elements that make it more attractive to different types of users.

- Overview
The project is designed for users to make multiple microtransactions during their stay in the ecosystem, which is why we have decided to work with two networks.

It is no secret that most gamefi projects users are on Binance Smart Chain, so in the first instance this network will be used for user acquisition. The choice of BSC should be considered as a marketing strategy, since once users have joined the ecosystem, it is much easier to perform a partial or total migration.
Anyway, the objective will be from the beginning to offer the possibility to participate in the ecosystem in both BSC and CONFLUX.

Why are we looking for a network like CONFLUX?
As mentioned above, the ecosystem is designed so that users can make multiple microtransactions, so it is essential to have a low cost network for users.

The project will primarily use ERC1155 tokens, as, among other things, this will allow users to transact multplies tokens simultaneously.

The ecosystem is designed so that users can not only list in a Marketplace their assets, but also exchange them directly with each other.

Within the ecosystem there are 4 types of NFTs

    • Packs: each Pack will contain 7 fragments of different rarities.
    • Fragments: Each fragment corresponds to a particular piece of a card.
    • Cards: Each card consists of 9 fragments of different rarities. These cards can be usable in the game or can be prizes external to the game, such as cryptocurrencies outside the ecosystem or NFTs from other projects.
    • Spellbook: The spellbook will record the user’s collection, and once the user completes the collection, all the cards, he will be rewarded according to the position in which he did it.
  • The ecosystem has the particularity that it can attract different types of users, whether they are investors, collectors, gamers, managers or scholars.

Each interaction is meticulously designed to encourage the use of the ecosystem tokens, which will be two, DoD and DFK.

Talking about the game itself, it consists of a battle arena where units will be deployed to fight for control of the territory. It will be a game with a turn and round structure.
The internal economic design has been designed taking into consideration the fundamental aspects of traditional economies (real world), making the necessary adjustments due to the differences detected in the crypto world.
The general structure of the designed economy can be seen below.

The fundamentation and details can be found in our preliminary Whitepaper

TOTAL BUDGET AND FUNDING TIER
For the execution of the first stage of the project, until the pre-sale of NFTs, USD 50.000.- will be required for the elaboration of Smart contracts, web page, marketing and artistic design.
We have our own capital so we are applying to TIER 1 and 2, TOTAL: USD 20.000.- add that the rest of the project seeks to be financed with the pre-sale of the NFTs, so the duration of the initial stage for which support is sought will be less than 3 months.

CURRENT FUNCTIONALITY

The main problem in the current Gamefi world lies mainly in the design of its internal economy.

The way an internal economy is managed determines its growth and level of prosperity. This is why, in order to understand the functioning of the internal economy of Fragmented Spells, it is necessary to understand some aspects.

First, any economy has the potential to prosper if the interrelationship between its actors tends to be balanced. What does this mean? That, among other things, it is not enough to have a balance between supply and demand, since the economy is a relationship between different types of individuals, each contributing from different angles to the system as a whole.

One of the factors that we believe affect internal economies in these types of projects, is that there is a tendency to confuse an economy in the real world with an economy in the crypto/blockchain world.

While the laws of supply and demand are valid within the crypto world, one must also consider the premise behind the laws of supply and demand in the real world. The premise is known to all, and that is that economies have limited resources and infinite needs.

This premise is not always true in the crypto world, in fact, it is completely reversed most times. Technically, in the crypto world, resources are unlimited while needs, i.e. the requirements for those resources, are limited to the number of participants interested in those resources.

One might think that some crypto resources are limited, such as bitcoin, but the reality is that technically each bitcoin can be subdivided into up to 1,000,000 parts. Consequently, bitcoin could be subdivided into enough parts so that the entire world’s population, both present and future generations, could have a share of bitcoin. Remember that infinity is a concept, not a number.

With this background in mind, an economy has been designed that captures the main characteristics of a traditional economy, such as collaboration, relationships between individuals, and the generation of value through scarcity and user preferences, making the necessary modifications to sustain a sustainable and thriving internal economy.

The internal economy refers to a system of dependency among users, just as in a real economy, in which all resources are generated and how users address their own needs and/or preferences for participation is determined.

DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP

The support we are seeking is to complete through Phase 4, specifically for:
Marketing Campaign I:
Deliverable

  • Public website
  • 10,000 users on social networks (twitter, discord, Facebook etc).
    Request funding: 5.000.- USD
    Duration: 2 weeks
    Presale:
    Deliverable

Finally, we know that we are on early stages of development, but we have been working on this project a couples of months now, especially on the conceptual game and design of the internal economy, which is, by now, the most important aspect for users.

We belive we have a nice project, and we know that we are a serious and professional team, i hope u can consider our proposal.

Best Regards.
