One of the interesting aspects of Cryptos is the way new coins are released (minting) into the ecosystem. For instance, Bitcoin is mined using a process called Proof of Work (PoW).

This process has democratised bitcoin mining and theoretically, anyone can mine a bitcoin. There is no favouritism or manipulation which can be done in that process. A person has to solve a ‘Luck Based’ cryptographic puzzle and a person who can do this first gets a chance to mint a new Bitcoin.

In PoW, the Work is the effort (computational power) required to solve the cryptographic puzzle and proof is the solution of the puzzle.

The core mechanics of Proof of work is as follows:

  1. No central authority controls the flow of Bitcoin into the ecosystem.
  2. No Guarantee that a particular person can mine a Bitcoin. It is completely Random and Luck-based.
  3. A person can maximise the chances of solving the Cryptographic puzzle by using high-speed computers (increasing the Hash power).

The process of choosing a person who will mine a new Bitcoin and get that as a reward is called Proof of Work.

At OWN, the platform will only release 3200 Genesis NFTs per Cryptonite Clan. The rest of the NFTs will be generated by the platform users. Hence, the population growth of NFTs on the platform will be controlled by the NFT owners. This will provide strong incentives and economic benefits for the platform users.

“The population growth of NFTs on One World Nation will be controlled by the NFT owners”

New NFTs on the platform will come via Breeding of Cryptonites. For the breeding purpose, a Breeding coin (ERC-20) will be required. Therefore, if a person has 2 Cryptonites and some Breeding coins, a third Cryptonite can be created..

How will the Breeding coins be generated?

Breeding coins will be generated at a fixed regular interval using a unique Proof of Play Concept. In Proof of Play, ‘Play’ is where the player will spend time playing mini-games on the platform and the ‘Proof’ is that a particular player has won the game.

Mapping this with the Proof of Work concept, the Proof of Play concept will have the following framework:

Any player who has an NFT in his wallet will be eligible to take part in Proof of Play.

  1. Players will play mini-games at a regular interval.
  2. Winners of the mini-games will get raffle tickets.
  3. The winners of the raffles will get breeding coins.
  4. The supply of Breeding coins will be controlled by the Demand / Supply curve. If demand is more than Supply then the Breeding coins generated per block will increase & vice-versa.

What kind of Mini-Games will the Proof of Play section have?

The Proof of Play section will also have games that will be a combination of Luck & skill. This will give equal chances for everyone to win.

In the beginning, only Raffle will be introduced. The number of Raffle tickets a player gets will depend on the number of NFTs he has and the rarity level of the NFTs.

In the future, there will be a series of Mini-games. These games will be Casual or Hyper-casual. The major categories of games will be Puzzle, word games, match-3 etc.

  1. The players will play these casual games with the objective of coming on top of the leaderboard.
  2. As per the leader board, they will be given Raffle tickets. The number of raffle tickets given out will be proportionate to the rank on the leaderboard. A higher rank equals a greater number of raffle tickets.
  3. The winners of the raffle will get breeding coins.

The proof of play section will give equal opportunity to anyone in the ecosystem to mint the breeding coins. These breeding coins can be used to breed the Cryptonites and create more Cryptonites on the platform.

Players can use these Cryptonites in the gameplay or they can sell them in the secondary market. The breeding coin becomes the source of expansion of the Cryptonites ecosystem on the platform & also serves as a good economic incentive for the players.
