Our new ethereum based blockchain game has hit the market today. It is called Solethium.
Why the name ‘Solethium’? First of all, the game is focused on buying and collecting digital Sun, Solar System planets, their satellites and space stations. That is ‘SOL’ part; we were absolutely against the word ‘crypto’ in the game title which starts to be very uninspired on the current market. Still, we managed to put ‘ETH’ in the title without make it sound corny.
Smart Contract
Since the game is built around Ethereum blockchain smart contract, every Solethium object is one-of-a-kind, unique, can not be stolen from the owner and can not be destroyed. We say it is a cryptocollectible.
This is the contract’s address : 0xbc34b85205affe0c941c784f6d76d1d6fbf2caa8
At this point, if you are reading this, chances are you know something about it. The past 4–5 months the people have been going crazy over Ethereum Games and stuff like ‘gas’, ‘token’, ‘immutable’, ‘non-fungible’ became part of (almost) common knowledge.
Every available Solethium Object is one smart contract token. There is, of course, only one Sun, one Earth, one Jupiter…
The only way how Solethium object can change ownership is if someone buys it from you — but they will have to pay the bigger price for it then you did, thus making you a profit. This is not something unseen in the game mechanics of the dApp (Decentralized Application) world.
Thus, we wanted to add something new on the table.
Features
Solethium is a Crypto Collectible game built on an Ethereum ERC721 Token. If you buy Solethium Object, you will be its owner until someone buy it from you — leaving up to 2x profits for you.
But… that is not all. You can build your tactics around the fact that we leveraged natural hierarchy in Solar System. Sun is the parent object of Mercury, Venus and Earth, for example. Earth is the parent object of Moon, etc.
All planets and the Sun are PARENT objects. When you own PARENT object, you will get a certain percentage from every sale of objects directly orbiting that PARENT object!
If you own the Sun token, you will get 3% from every transaction of any object directly orbiting the Sun!
(like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, … ).
Special Objects
To spice things up, we introduced another type of objects…
There are certain Solethium Objects with SPECIAL trade properties. Those are objects like Trade or Research Space Stations, or like satellites with bases on them.
What do they do? When you own both any PARENT object and object with SPECIAL trade properties, your PARENT percentage will be boosted and you will make even bigger profits!
Example: If you own the Sun, you will get 3% from every sale of objects directly orbiting the Sun. But is you also own Hermes Trade Station, your PARENT Sun percentage (3) will be boosted by another 0.5 percentage points. Your new Sun percentage gain will be 3,5 %.
Such SPECIAL objects will boost ALL of your parent objects, making them extremely powerful tokens to own. Of course, you can own more than one SPECIAL and more than one PARENT object, bringing you big gains on all game sales by adding up their properties.
Why we developed Solethium?
We are Data Science and IT professionals. The blockchain is the new hot technology. Experts say the blockchain will cause a revolution similar to what Internet provoked. It feels good to explore this new technology and to bring blockchain to the masses.
Gaming is fun and in our genes. What is the best way to explore blockchain potential for us than to develop an Ethereum Smart Contract based game?
Since some of us Astronomy / Cosmology enthusiasts, it was easy to decide how to join blockchain with that passion.
At the beginning of 2018, people have been going crazy over Ethereum Games. Why? It’s simple. Gaming is fun and in certain cases potentially very lucrative.
Solethium is trying to bring some new tactics on the table, not just to provide means of crypto-collectibles. We leverage natural hierarchy in Solar System (PARENT objects) plus some SPECIAL trade objects bonuses in order to provide more fun, more tactical considerations, more gaming experience, and more opportunity to earn money.
