Skull Dungeon — White paper V2
Deep beneath the metaverse lies an ancient place bound in mystery and magic. Evil skull sorcerer Murr Argh-Nagh conjures an army of skulls and plots to construct the most devious dungeon and bolster his hordes.
Skulls swarm and in rituals of dark magic they yield $gemii, hoard treasures and set traps to lure in wanderers. With more $gemii they breed into their unrivaled forms — The Doomskulls.
The tl — dr;
- Skull Dungeon is an ecosystem of 3777 Skulls on Ethereum mainnet.
- Stake to yield $gemii and access collectibles, actions and rewards.
- Different breeds of skulls/ different yield.
- Use $gemii to collect treasures, artifacts and traps to build dungeons.
- Use $gemii to breed and hatch ultimate boss-breed Doomskulls.
- Connect into biggest collaborative dungeon and set to welcome Wanderers in Season 2 —Use $gemii for wl and free mint.
Phase 1: Mint
Collection is released in two mint batches — Legendary and Dungeon mint.
- Legendary mint happens with Whitelist access only.
- 6 Legendary Skulls are minted randomly/ 9 are set to be auctioned off.
- All other Skulls are randomly scattered across both batches.
- Dungeon mint is public and followed by Legendary Auction.
- Total supply of Skulls will ever be 3777.
Genesis Skulls
There are three breeds of Skulls, fourth to be spawned by breeding. All Skulls come with unique set of traits and yield $gemii directly related to their kind.
Once breeding commences only 666 Doomskulls will ever be spawned. Mother-skulls burn in process, total supply stays the same.
Phase 2: Stake
Skulls can be staked at the Temple to yield $gemii and unlock features directly related to their kind.
$gemii is the in-game token and will have multiple uses without the need to withdraw and thus saving on gas, making the ecosystem fun and efficient. $gemii can also be withdrawn as ERC-20 to a standard wallet, however this removes the token from the Skull Dungeon ecosystem and must be re-converted to use it in this way.
Phase 3: Breed
Dungeon thrives and breeding may commence. Only 666 Skulls will ever receive an Essence of Darkness to spawn into Doomskulls — the ultimate boss monsters of the Dungeon. Two skulls and $gemii needed to breed, mother-skull burns in the process.
Breeding process has been designed to avoid gas costs as much as possible, example [on diagram below]:
- 2x Dweller Skulls [TokenID1 and TokenID2] get verified and first selected is ‘mother-skull’.
- Action 1: #BREED happens within same [TokenID1] where contract calls that function and baseURI/ metadata of Cocoon1 gets projected in place of Dweller1. This process is irreversible and once the skull has been cocooned it cannot go back.
- Action 2: #HATCH after set time frame has expired, Cocoon1 NFT [TokenID1] can #HATCH by which it burns and new Doomskull 1 NFT [TokenID3] is assigned in it’s place.
Phase 4: Collect and Build
Use $gemii at the Black Cave to purchase Long Lost Treasures, Demonic Darkest Artefacts and Dungeon Deadly Traps.
All Skulls get access to items directly related to their kind. Upgrade and build dungeons with traps and loot to lure in wanderers.
Collecting happens in-game to Skull Dungeon wallet. Collectibles can also be withdrawn as L2/ Sidechain ERC-721 to standard wallet.
