Introducing World’s First Decentralized Autonomous Game
On Oct.22, 2019, Horseman GO, world’s first DAG (decentralized autonomous game) officially announced its Whitepaper.
Horseman GO, designed and developed by Cogito, is a DAG that combines blockchain, horse racing and game. As a DAG, Horseman GO is self-governance and operated by governance mechanism based on code rather than entity, presenting a whole new decentralized game experience in addition to the virtual horse racing.
Why Horseman GO?
With the rapid development of Internet technologies, more and more prominent games step into the market recent years. However, every coin has its two sides. Due to the centralized design, all data of game are stored in the central server. Game players can hardly get the true ownership of game assets such as the tools, skills, goods, etc. they buy or win. Thus, the game publisher and development team dominate the whole game to the great extent.
Under the circumstance, the game, players, and developer and operation teams are in imbalance. With its absolute domination, the development and operation teams of game can extract the commercial values of game players maximally. We can see that many games are just designed for commercial purposes rather than providing players the best-ever experience. It’s obvious that it’s not a good trend for the development of game and the whole industries.
Horseman GO is born to break this imbalance.

What is Horsemen GO?
Horseman GO is the world’s first DAG (Decentralized Autonomous Game), which is operated and developed by the governance mechanism based on code instead of entity.
Players operate their ranches themselves, improve the genes and attributes of horses, and have the horse keep training to be champions in top international races and win the rewards. By applying blockchain technologies, all implements in games such as the horses, senior skill books, etc, can be stored and approved on chain. All revenue in the game will come into the Jockey Club, and be used for rewarding the winners and for game ecosystem construction. By doing so, players will benefit from the development of the game, and the game grows with more and more players get involved in deeply.
How to play Horseman GO?
Players can get involved in five parts of Horsemen GO: Ranch Operation, Horse Raising, Race System, Betting System and Jockey Club.
1. Ranch Operation
When entering into Horseman GO, players will win a ranch under the guide of NPC. They should improve the ranch, such as adding buildings, improving the attributes of buildings, expanding the ranch, etc. The better the ranch, the more visitors will come, and the better the reputation. Good reputation will bring ranch higher popularity and income, which is greatly helpful for the ranchers to expand the ranch and improve the efficiency of horse training.

2. Horse Raising
Horses are the key of Horseman GO. The whole game is mainly focus on winning horses, especially winning high-gene horses, and the raising. An invincible race horse comes from high-gene and extensive training. Thus, the ranchers need to have the race horses keep improving in the dexterity training, power training, vitality training, speed training, etc, and finally match with horses born with top genes to get better descendants.

3. Race System
The race system of Horseman GO consists of PVE (Player VS Environment) and PVP (Player VS Player). PVE races are the main methods for players to get higher rewards and resources. To be a top horse, it needs to compete and be victorious in maiden race, rural race, horse rating organized by Jockey Club and Triple Crown. After that, the horse is qualified for participating in PVP races. In PVP races, the registration fee of each horse will come into the central wallet of Jockey Club, and finally be used in the bonus pool. Winners will be rewarded according to the distribution rules in the bonus pool.

4. Reward Mechanism
Almost all revenue in Horseman GO will come into the central wallet for the rewards of all races, and construction of game ecosystem. In PVP races that are organized by the Jockey Club, players with higher rankings get higher rewards from the bonus pool.
5. Jockey Club
Jockey Club is the official central club of Horseman GO, the CPU of the game governance mechanism. Almost all revenue in the game including the recharge, transaction fee, etc, will come into the central wallet of Jockey Club. Only a small part will be reserved for normal operation cost of game. That is to say, what comes from players will be used for players.
By utilizing the features of blockchain technologies, such as decentralization, scalability, transparency, security, etc., all details of the total asset holdings, cost and income will be totally transparent. All players of Horseman GO will be clear about the asset and operation of the game.
Besides, there are super market, skill book store, horse store, auction, etc. in the ranch. Players can buy anything they want and need.
