The main goal for Duggie is to help people find pets; protect, purchase, record unique characteristics and immortalise pets like dogs, cats, and other fuzzy and scaly species, like horses, rabbits, barnyard animals, birds, reptiles, fishes and small and furry creatures digitally using blockchain-enabled NFTs.
What are Duggies?
Duggies are unique and transferable blockchain possessions (NFT) that are being conceived by users or two mutual owners who decide to exchange genetic compositions and conceive a new hybrid NFT (typically of higher value). To make the mating process possible, the two owners will have to have matching attributes and pay a breeding fee. To do this, the user will have to purchase the native token or earn it by way of platform rewarding activities. These unique and cute digital pets create emotional connections and would naturally be a purer breed as compared to normal (initial) created breeds.
What Makes Duggie Unique?
- Trust & Total Ownership: every single Duggie you own, 100% belongs to you and you can trade or transfer it to anyone, anytime you like.
- Multi-Blockchain Interoperability: by creating our NFTs, using ERC-721 > 1155 Standards, users are able to communicate and interact across different blockchains.
- Diversity: we are not focused on a particular type of pet but rather are open to the interaction between different types of animals.
- Increase in Value: every Duggie on the platform can level up, increase value, build-up characteristics that make them more unique and hence rare and valuable.
- Cost-efficiency: by choosing to build on Ethereum, we have reduced drastically the fees payable as compared to other blockchains (and we intend to gradually migrate to our own main net which will promise low latency, high throughputs and lower network fees). Also, by taking advantage of blockchain capabilities, information is stored on the blockchain hence reducing the cost that would normally be paid in hosting such an amount of data.
- Ease of Use: our wallet is compatible with all the latest browsers. Our aim for this is to be the easiest NFT platform to use by both technical and non-technical users by enabling simple drag & drop options and scan capabilities.
Strategic Partnership & Use cases
The strategic partnerships will help Duggie in creating more awareness, educating the general public on the impact of the project.
- Government agencies: This includes ministry and parastatals saddled with the responsibility of animal protection, care and welfare.
- NGOs: This includes international and local organisations that are focused on improving animal survival.
- Groups: Includes advocacy groups or animal rights movements around the world.
- Crypto Companies: Companies like Binance, Trust Wallet, Julswap etc will form very core crypto reliability and confidence.
- Investors: Include private and VC that will serve as early adopters and supporters of the project.
- Wildlife Parks/Ranches/Zoo: Around animal rescue and wildlife protection, this would be our major partner.
- Vet Clinics / Pet shops: As they have good resources around how animals fare, this Seoul’s be our major collaboration on the journey.
- Pet Associations: Forum, groups that have allied interest in animal welfare.
- Vegetarian Communities: Communities that protect the lives of animals.
Duggie is an innovative and scalable blockchain solution that is aimed at connecting pets and humans around the world in special ways using non-fungible token characteristics. Throughout this whitepaper, we have tried to show the potential of the Duggie project and its underlying blockchain technology in which it will operate. This is the beginning of the mass adoption of decentralized and immutable pet ownership.
