# Metakings ![](https://3973613840-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FD7oWQ489MUNATYmQBnQr%2Fuploads%2FeDwInUPEYWShOFyy0SeA%2F1638579721209.jpg?alt=media\&token=e78f730a-28e5-4f1d-9392-84709142ba46) Metakings is a battle world powered by artificial intelligence in which anybody may earn tokens via competent gameplay and contributions to the ecosystem. Players may engage in combat, acquire resources, grow their characters, and construct a land-based kingdom for them. Third-party developers may readily access all art assets and Metakings genetic data, allowing them to create their own tools and experiences in the Metakings Metaverse. While we are still in the early stages of development, Metakings aims to be the #1 BSC game in terms of daily, weekly, and monthly active players. While Metakings is a fun game, it has evolved into a social network and job platform as a result of the strong community and chances for play to earn that have resulted from its early popularity. The primary distinction between Metakings and a traditional game is that our participants are rewarded for their contributions to the ecosystem via a Blockchain economic framework. This new gaming concept has been coined "play to earn." Thousands of gamers from underdeveloped nations have flocked to Metakings in search of a fresh revenue source during the Covid epidemic. Many of these participants are dads, aunts, and even grandparents who have never heard of Blockchain technology! * Earnings are possible through the following methods: * Participating in PVP fights with the chance to earn leaderboard awards. * Breeding $MTK with the purpose of reselling them on the market. * Collecting and speculating on rare Mystics and Origins. * Farming to obtain the love potions required to breed Metakings. These may be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges like Pancakeswap and Binance. * Beginning in 2021, players can acquire a governance token, $MTK, which represents a genuine chunk of the game world due to its governance rights and fee sharing. Due to the fact that players may gain this token through gameplay, a Ready Player One-style quest evolves in which players can earn a piece of the universe. These tasks, on the other hand, are not winner-take-all and reward players based on their work and talent. **The Mission of Metakings** Metakings was created as a method to teach the public about blockchain technology in an entertaining and instructive way. Many of the founding team members met while playing Decentraland ($MANA), their first exposure to Blockchain technology for purposes other than pure speculation. They quickly began developing Metakings in order to bring the power of Blockchain technology to billions of gamers. **The Conception** We believe in a future in which work and pleasure become inextricably linked. We are committed to developing our athletes and providing them with economic prospects. Most importantly, we believe that combating and collecting adorable animals has the potential to improve the world. We cordially invite you to join our movement. # Gameplay Metakings AI is organized as an ever expandable digital war world. The Metakings core team will collaborate with the community to develop functionality for the game assets linked with the Metakings brand. Above all else, the Metakings world must be enjoyable; only an engaging game experience can attract enough players to generate value to the network. # Battling The Metakings core team produced the initial fighting system based on the Metakings game assets in August 2020. The fighting system was modeled by the "unique battle" method seen in games such as "Demon souls" and "God of war." The Metakings development team began work on the real-time card warfare system and application in March 2021 and plans to release an Alpha prototype in December 2021. As with Demon Souls, which has gone through multiple revisions and used a variety of various fighting systems, we anticipate Metakings to have numerous battle varieties in the years to come. # Tournaments and Rewards The Metakings combat system is well-suited for competitive play and Esports because to its skill-based, competitive character. This, we feel, is a vital part of future development, as seen by how involved players become when money is on the line. Players of Metakings have already won thousands of dollars in binance rewards via a variety of events run by the core team or third-party sponsors. # Arenas ARENAS are the habitats for Metakings($MTK). ARENAS is a non-fungible token that may be acquired or created with $MTK, BUSD, or Crystals. ARENAS enable a player to create MTK Crystals directly and earn BUSD via games. * ARENAS of different sorts have varying affects on Metakings character abilities and MTK Crystal crafting prices. * Players may generate cash by leasing their Habitat to other players. Each Habitat may host a maximum of one Metaking character at a time. * A Player's Habitat must be maintained on a regular basis using crystals, otherwise it will deteriorate and cease producing BUSD. ## ARENA INCENTIVES Metakings enables participants to generate revenue through two distinct economies: * The thriving PFP (Profile Picture) NFT economy as a result of the upgrading of the Metaking's speculative value. * Our painstakingly developed Play-to-Earn economy, which includes making, leasing, purchasing, and selling in-game products such as crystals and ARENAS. Free players have access to just the first economy, whilst paid players have access to both. ### FREE PLAYERS Based on established concepts in non-blockchain mobile games, Metakings automatically enrolls all players in a Free-to-Play economy in which their in-game activities are monetarily rewarded via the long-term value appreciation of their Metaking. As the player upgrades powers and cosmetics, grinding raises the theoretical worth of a Metaking NFT. Free players' meddlings effectively build sweat equity. Once a certain amount of time and effort has been put in a Metaking, it becomes valuable and tradeable in the decentralized marketplace. At this stage, players may either sell their game characters to other players looking to acquire a Metaking in order to get an advantage in the game, or invest in the long-term worth of a Metaking, which is determined by the demand and rarity of its developed features. ### PAYING PLAYERS Free players who weary of grinding or want to accelerate their in-game progression and raise the value of their Metaking may buy a Habitat to enter the paid side of the economic flywheel and earn $MTK in addition to XP. Additionally, Habitat owners will benefit from the MTKration, crafting, and selling of MTK Crystals and ARENAS on a consistent basis. The purchase of a Habitat serves as a gateway between the free-to-play and pay-to-win segments of our in-game economy. This not only establishes two economies in which players may earn, but also significantly expands the marketplace possibilities, since Metaking NFTs, ARENAS, and Refined Crystals are all sold amongst players ready to pay to advance quicker. This is the basis for our economic approach, which allows us to build and extend the game's content as it gains popularity. We will enable Metakings to equip skills and things that are manufactured using a formula of BUSD, $MTK, and crystals purchased and sold on the in-game marketplace, so increasing the economy even more. ## # Game Characters 1.

It is a BEP-20 token. MTK holders will be eligible for incentives if they stake their tokens, engage in the game, and vote on critical governance issues. Additionally, players will be able to earn $MTK by participating in different games inside the Metakings Universe and by submitting user-generated content. Our objective with Metakings is to provide innovative and intriguing incentives for both gamers and developers. The techniques outlined above have two primary objectives: To incentivize players to engage with Metakings while also motivating them to save their tokens in order to claim extra incentives. To decentralize metaking ownership and control. We want Metakings to be the first game that is fully owned and controlled by the players. This offers up an infinite number of options, but must be addressed with caution. Historically, initiatives have been abandoned and became stagnate under the guise of "decentralization." The transition to a truly decentralized organization will take place incrementally over time. The Community Treasury will be operational in early 2022. The Community Treasury will begin receiving funds through Metakings and a percentage of staking rewards. Eventually, after the network has grown sufficiently decentralized, this treasury will be administered by MTK stakeholder. # Marketplace There will be an internal **NFT marketplace** where players will be able to improve their Guild and the economy by letting them trade, sell or acquire NFTs. These trades will have a **15% tax cost** for using the marketplace in any of their forms and will be returned to the Rewards Pool. The marketplace will use[ ](broken://pages/-MiEbFq3XdYXFBSL2rrb)$MTK as its default token and users will stipulate the price of their NFT however they see fit, so be on the lookout for the next bargain! Exhausted fleets can't be listed on the Marketplace. # Token Information Here we aim to explain the tokenomics of the $MTK token, rigorously breaking down the total maximum supply, the role to be played by $MTK holders in decentralised governance and supporting the ecosyst ![](https://3973613840-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FD7oWQ489MUNATYmQBnQr%2Fuploads%2Fjv1OS6CSxa9J0MQhh2z9%2FMetaKing%20logo.png?alt=media\&token=46fe70e7-ad2d-4a07-9152-3e8864345294) $MTK serves as the native currency for Metakings. Players use $MTK to mint characters, mint arenas, extending the lives of your characters by hiring and Buy/Sell on the Metakings Marketplace. There is a maximum supply of **1,000,000,000** $MTK tokens. Liquidity will be locked and the Game rewards will be vested for 6 months. #### Contract Address: [0x129385c4acd0075e45a0c9a5177bdfec9678a138](https://bscscan.com/address/0x129385c4acd0075e45a0c9a5177bdfec9678a138) ``` Name: Metakings Token Symbol: MTK Decimals: 18 Network: Binance Smart Chain Total Supply: 1.000.000.000 ``` *Disclaimer: Sending tokens/NFT under any circumstances is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the sending address is correct, MTK is not responsible for the recovery of any $MTK lost on the blockchain.* # Token Lock ![](https://3973613840-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FD7oWQ489MUNATYmQBnQr%2Fuploads%2FpYBA4S6DOphZLJDHGPxj%2Fphoto_2021-12-05_02-25-34.jpg?alt=media\&token=b22626e8-dcf3-4203-8e92-c154b0c465b7) # Distribution ## Token Distribution | Tokenomics | Allocation | Percentage | Description | | -------------------- | ------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------- | | Total Supply | 1,000,000,000 | 100% | | | Presale/IDO | 300,000,000 | 30% | Open to everyone | | Development | 100,000,000 | 10% | Locked for 6 months. | | Game Rewards | 100,000,000 | 10% | Vested for 6 months. | | Referrals & Bounties | 50,000,000 | 5% | | | Burn | 200,000,000 | 20% | Occurent burn to help price floor. | | Team | 50,000,000 | 5% | Locked for 6 months. | | Liquidity | 200,000,000 | 20% | Locked LP for 12 months. | # Roadmap Please note that development is a fluid process and all dates are subject to change.

Rather than selling game stuff or copies, the game's makers are concentrating their efforts on expanding the player to player economy. Marketplace fees are deposited in a Community Treasury, the use of which will be determined by MTK holders. The developers get money by holding MTK tokens. Players produce MTK tokens using in-game resources and sell them to new/other players. Consider Meta-kings to be a country with a functioning economy. The MTK token is held by the government, which collects tax money. Holders, the game's creators/builders, own 10% of all MTK tokens. * The game's resources and products are tokenized, which means they can be traded on open peer-to-peer marketplaces to anyone, anywhere in the world. {% hint style="info" %} Population increase is a significant influence in the Metaverse ecology. At each point in time, there is a perfect inflation rate that enables us to reach our full potential. Too sluggish and $MTK pricing are too expensive for the average person to join; Particularly competition sprunges quickly, and you'll have harmful inflation. MTK tokens would be subject to comparable economic dynamics that would need proper model management.. {% endhint %} ## Economic Importance The economy will be supported in the long run by the these plans purported by the team. * **Providing Real-case use to $MTK tokens:** Over time, new and enhanced experiences such as Land, Mini-games, and Battle upgrades will be added. Beyond their usefulness in transitory metas, new experiences outside of Battle will also provide value to Meta-kings. Players will always have fresh objectives to accomplish inside the Meta-kings Battle realm. Finally, demand for $MTK will be driven by the intrinsic value they bring to users in the form of competitive, social, and progression-based enjoyment and accomplishments * **Geometric Ascension of $MTK assets:** Currently, the primary avenue to advancement in Battle is via collection expansion. This dynamic is not sustainable in the long run. In the long term, enhancements to Meta-kings, Land, and other assets will need the use of crafting supplies. Meta-kings may be "released" in order to collect these crafting components or to gain access to upgrades. This establishes a long-term source of supplies for the Meta-kings populace. Meta-kings advancement is coming in the future, and it has the potential to forge a far greater link between trainers and the Meta-kings they select to enhance. * **Enhancements to accessibility that contribute to the creation of long-term value:** There are now many points of friction that prevent users from diving into Meta**-**kings Battle field and competing, having fun, and socializing with the community. Enhancing onboarding and providing gamers with free access to the game For example, starter Metakings would encourage more players to fall in love with the Meta-kings cosmos and commit to the economy long-term. {% hint style="info" %} The greater the persistent demand for $MTK tokens, the more robust the economy will be in the long run. To begin, and in order to optimize growth, the Meta-kings economy is designed to be reliant on new entrants. New players need Meta-kings to get started, and it is critical that sufficient $MTK tokens is made available in the marketplace. Additional $MTK tokens must be added with caution, since they risk stifling growth by driving prices too high. The enhancements listed above will be phased in over time to transition the economy toward growth and sustainability through demand from current participants and to lessen reliance on new entrants. {% endhint %} ## Additional Income Sources Several extra chances to inject additional capital into the economy as a bonus to the basic player-to-player economic activity will present themselves * **Publicity and Strategic Partnerships** Numerous projects have already shown an interest in contributing prizes and tokens to the Metakings economy. MakerDAO, AAVE, and Kyber Network have all conducted experimental token drops for Metakings participants so far. Metakings is already the world's biggest community of individuals who understand how to utilize Blockchain technology; advertising to a group of this size has enormous value**.** * **NFT MarketPlace** Merchandise would be made available in both physical and digital formats. This is already a popular request from passionate players who want for more tangible and/or digital items to demonstrate and display their love for the game. Merchandise may include limited-edition official Metakings Art NFTs, T-shirts, and plushies. Profits would be reinvested in the game, which would then be given to players. The worldwide Metakings community has developed exceptionally deep relationships, and seeing other Kings in person is an important aspect of the Metakings experience. Profits generated by large community events would be reinvested in the game and given to participants**.** {% hint style="info" %} While many Meta-kings players will reap substantial rewards for their labor and purchases, many have simply participated for the sake of enjoyment and camaraderie. They're ecstatic to create unique Meta-kings fight methods in order to top the leaderboards or just hang out with new community members. They place a higher premium on these experiences than on prospective revenues. These players make the economy stronger in the long run and the team strives to help more players gain this value in the long-term. {% endhint %} # Presale/IDO Details **Presale** * Amount Token: **100,000,000 $MTK** - 20% of Total Supply * Softcap: **500 BNB** * Hardcap: **2000 BNB** * Max Spend Per Account = **20 BNB** * IDO rate: **0.00002BNB/1MTK** * Pancakeswap listing rate: **0.0002BNB/1MTK** * Link for the Pre-sale: **Round 1:** Started on **December 8th** ends on **23rd December.** **Initial Liquidity Offering 1 (IDO 1)** * Amount Token: **100,000,000 $MTK** - 20% of Total Supply * Softcap: **500 BNB** * Hardcap: **2000 BNB** * Max Spend Per Account = **25 BNB** * IDO rate: **0.00003BNB/1MTK** * Pancakeswap listing rate: **0.0002BNB/1MTK** * Link for the Pre-sale: **IDO Round 1:** Started on **December 23rd** ends **January 22nd.**\ \ **Initial Liquidity Offering 2 (IDO 2)** * Amount Token: **100,000,000 $MTK** - 20% of Total Supply * Softcap: **500 BNB** * Hardcap: **2000 BNB** * Max Spend Per Account = **25 BNB** * IDO rate: **0.00004BNB/1MTK** * Pancakeswap listing rate: **0.0002BNB/1MTK** * Link for the Pre-sale: **Round 1:** Started on **January 22nd** ends **February 23rd.** ## Mechanism :gear: You'll be able to participate by taking place in one of the 3 rounds as explained below: | Round | Length/start/end | Requirements for participation | | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | 0 |

Battles are conducted in a pure C++ simulation that runs game instances in less than a few milliseconds. This is then connected to Unreal Engine and rendered. Because the simulation is deterministic, the server may save extremely tiny input values and replay any match. Metakings will be able to archive every combat that has ever been fought. ### Cinematic Mode A cinematic option (demonstrated in the gameplay teaser) enables players with less capable computers to see the matches in stunning detail. This is possible solely due to the simulation's deterministic nature. ### The Overworld The Infinite Each location in Metakings has been painstakingly created by some of the world's most talented digital artists. Proprietary technology is employed to give the assets a cinematic feel, since the workflow mainly depends on a very strong render farm, which allows the game to preprocess a large amount of computational data, reducing the graphics load in game while still appearing rich and detailed. ### Backend Backend Our backend is hosted on Amazon Web Services, a market leader in Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) (AWS). Our backend services are implemented utilizing AWS Lambda in a serverless manner. This allows us to provide essentially limitless scalability while yet keeping a cost-effective solution. Our major persistence method is DynamoDB, which enables us to deliver an atomic, consistent, isolated, durable, and highly available solution via the use of transactional features. We employ the whole suite of AWS monitoring and security services, including CloudWatch, GuardDuty, Inspector, Detective, and Security Hub, on the back end. # Team ## Our Team Team cooperation is critical to success in the game, not just during conquest, but also during evolution. The set's synergy is critical to its collective worth, the momentum of continuous wins, and the fun of games. Likewise with the Metakings crew. We are a fast expanding worldwide firm with over 10 employees committed to attracting the finest and brightest talents. With our initial seed rounds over, we're fine-tuning our workforce in the same way we're fine-tuning our game: with an eye for detail tempered with an unflinching focus on the larger picture. We've covered Immutable-X and introduced the gameplay in prior announcements. Now, meet our core team, who together will not only make Metakings a token of world-class quality, but will also guarantee that our NFTs flourish on the Binance Smart Chain. **Christopher Gasca — Co-Founder** Christopher is a proven serial entrepreneur, working alongside Kain Warwick in e-commerce and other successful projects. Christoper was exposed to Bitcoin and Ethereum early on. His enthusiasm for the crypto space led to joining Metakings. While there, Christopher successfully onboarded major Australian Exchanges and started the world’s first OTC cryptocurrency exchange. **Rodney Sekareck — Co-Founder and Game Designer** Rodney became hooked with designing and programming games while studying Computer Science at Cambridge University in England. His interest in artificial intelligence sparked at a young age, as he was a voracious seeker of scientific knowledge and the philosophical implications of technology. Rodney's in-depth understanding of world-building and gaming mythology has driven Metaking's goal to create the world's first AI game based on the Binance Smart chain blockchain. ​ **Kathleen McNamara — Partnerships** Kathleen is a business executive and partnership leader with over 20 years of success in amplifying business performance to hit top goals. Kathleen has held multiple director and leadership roles in varying retail and tech-based organisations, making her an invaluable asset to Metakings. **Gleen Winters — CTO** Gleen has over 15 years of experience as a full-stack developer, with experience as a solution architect, tech designer and software engineer.

We detail the process via which the community of $MTK holders will control and maintain the protocol through the Metakings Council, as well as the sorts of amendments that can be suggested. It's worth mentioning that we designed the governance process after the Ethereum EIPs and early versions of change control in open-source software, with feedback from numerous Synthetix key contributors. ### Council Vote Election To elect council members, holders of $MTK have the option of either nominating an individual or delegating their vote to a nominee. Candidates for council members must be submitted prior to the election deadline, followed by a 72-hour official voting procedure to determine the five persons most qualified to manage the platform. The eDAO will then compile all suggested members from the Metakings Telegram Channel's Metakings Council and prepare candidates for Snapshot voting. (Our original governance plan, which includes the "eDAO" and "Measures Council," is subject to modification. We seek to develop the finest decentralized governance models possible). ### Quadratic Voting This technique will be used to weaken the voting power of large $MTK holders and so contribute to the abolition of plutocracy. This technique is effectively employed by a number of other protocols and inside Bitcoin Grants, and we feel it is the most equitable method of voting weighting. ### Specification Overview There are two major components of the new governance system: **The Metakings Council** will be comprised of nominees elected by $MTK token holders, allowing for the influence of community representatives capable of debating and distilling technical modifications but also preventing major $MTK holders from directly voting on the result of proposals. **Metakings Proposals** (protocol updates through MCCPs and MMPs) that are submitted to the IIP's Github repository and will be made available on the Metakings Proposal area. To be approved, proposals must receive a supermajority vote. **Defining an MCCP** Proposals for Metakings Configuration Changes (MCCPs) are documents that make the case for changing one of Metakings' System Configuration Variables. The goal is to give a thorough history of each configuration modification and the rationale for its implementation at the time it was made. The document's author is responsible for fostering community agreement and documenting dissenting views. A second blog article will be published later on how to properly write an MCCP. System Configuration Variables that can be changed via MCCPs may include: * Configurable Council Values (see below) * Marketplace fees * Capture mechanics * Balance changes **Defining an MIP** Metakings Improvement Proposals (MIPs) are intended to guarantee that improvements to Metakings are transparent and well-governed. MIPs are design documents that notify the Metakings community about a planned system improvement. The author is accountable for fostering community agreement and noting dissenting views. A second blog article will be published later on how to properly write a MIP. Improvements made via MIPs may include: * New contracts * New systems * Expansions * Character sets ### Council Epoch The Metakings Council members will serve for one complete Council Epoch (the duration of which may be set by an MCCP), and their primary tasks during the Council Epoch will be discussing and voting on MCCPs and MIPs in a public discord forum. If a council member is forced to resign during an Epoch, the Council will continue to function, but the supermajority formulas will alter (there must be a supermajority on each normal proposal). ### Meta-Governance There will be instances when adjustments to the $MTK council must be made. Any initiatives for meta-governance must be unanimously approved.. ### Council Stipend Initially, $MTK payments to Council Members will be made manually at the conclusion of each Council Epoch by the MetakingsDAO. If a sufficient number of Council Members' votes are withdrawn prior to the conclusion of a Council Epoch to remove them from the Council, they will get $MTK rewards proportional to their time on the Council during that Epoch, up until their NFT is retrieved. The replacement Member will be compensated in $MTK in proportion to their tenure on the Council following the issuance of their NFT.. **Supermajority** A supermajority is defined as (N+1) / 2, where N is the number of council members. **Executioner DAO Discretion** Regardless of whether the council agrees on a proposal, the ExecutionerDAO functions as a backup for the protocol and can intervene in an emergency. **Technical Specification** The Executor DAO (eDAO) will need to construct a modified version (or custom contract) of an NFT that can be revoked and issued to EOAs (Externally Owned Addresses), indicating that the wallet is a member of the Metakings Council. A new section of Snapshot will be built to host the process of electing the Metakings Council.

(now gov.metakings.ai) ### Configurable Council Values (Via MCCP) **Council Nominations Deadline** — The initial setting is 72 hours prior to the start of the Election Period. Election Cycle Duration – The duration of an election cycle. Council members will get their NFTs at the conclusion of the Election Period. **Council Epoch** — the time period after which token holders must redelegate their votes to new and current council members (to avoid stagnation and ephemeral power) — initially set at three months, with the genesis election scheduled for February 18th, 2021. (0:00 UTC) **Timelock period** — the time period during which a proposal is reviewed before it is adopted, which is originally set to 24 hours. **Metakings Council seat numbers** — the number of seats available on the Metakings Council, and hence the number of votes necessary to achieve a supermajority. ### Balancing via Governance Because the core Metakings technology is data-driven, balancing updates may be done much more dynamically than in typical games. Each patch will be a Neural Network-Assisted update that takes into consideration the game's thousands of anticipated matches and is voted on by the council.l. # Social Media * Twitter:[ https://twitter.com/metakingsai](< https://twitter.com/metakingsai>) * Medium:[ https://metakings.medium.com](< https://metakings.medium.com>) * Telegram Announcements: * Telegram Official Group: * Youtube: * Github:
