Topic: [ANN] Macroverse - An Entire Universe on the Ethereum Blockchain - page 2. (Read 2237 times)
Well, I think people should know more details and prospect about your project. And are you planning to run the crowdsale without any bounty campaign?
Hello, everyone,
I'm Adam Novak from Novak Distributed, and I wanted to announce here a project I have been working on, combining procedural world generation and blockchain-based smart contract technology.
Macroverse
Macroverse is a procedurally generated universe, available to be used by blockchain-based games. Rather than paying expensive gas costs to store environment and level data on the blockchain, or spending large amounts of developer effort on custom world generation algorithms, game developers will be able to use Macroverse as a piece of game development middleware, and to find settings for their games by exploring the single, shared Macroverse universe.
The Macroverse world is generated by the Macroverse Generator (MG), a system of smart contracts. The Macroverse Star Generator, which produces a galaxy of over 200 billion stars of various classes, is deployed at address 0x56D96b6a5F33E2efE5BE66065D5b9C230B1f4e0e using this source code. Addresses with a balance of (currently) 100 MRV or more may query the generator's various constant functions and receive information about the Macroverse world.
Virtual Real Estate
Players exploring the Macroverse world will be able to discover, claim, and trade virtual real estate. If you find a particularly compelling star, planet, or geographical feature, you will be able to purchase it and make it yours. Ownership of real estate may confer beneficial effects or advantages in supported games.
Virtual real estate claims are manged by the Macroverse Registry, a system of smart contracts. Currently, the only contract is the Macroverse Star Registry, at address 0x6C00556F471cbe518007D62bc4ACEd6d8e537c9D using this source code, which allows players to claim (transferable, releasable) ownership of star systems, by putting up a deposit of (currently) 1000 MRV.
MRV Token
The Macroverse token, MRV, is an ERC20-compatible token on the Ethereum blockchain. Players must hold a minimum balance in the MRV token to query the Macroverse system, and deposits denominated in MRV must be put up in order to claim virtual real estate. The MRV token will be distributed in a crowdsale beginning July 1st at approximately 10 AM PST.
Token Facts
Name: Macroverse Token
Symbol: MRV
Decimals: 18
Token Contract: 0xAB6CF87a50F17d7F5E1FEaf81B6fE9FfBe8EBF84
Total Supply: Up to 100,005,000 MRV
Available for Sale: 100,000,000 MRV
Crowdsale Price: 5,000 MRV per ETH
Crowdsale Start Scheduled: 10:02 AM PST on July 1
Crowdsale Duration: 90 days
Crowdsale Contract (same as token contract): 0xAB6CF87a50F17d7F5E1FEaf81B6fE9FfBe8EBF84
Crowdsale/Token Contract Source: Here
More details are available here.
The MRV token is intended to function like a software license, enabling people to use the Macroverse system. It is not indented to represent a stake in the Macroverse project, and is not designed to increase in value over time.
In addition to trying to sell tokens, I'm posting here to gauge developer interest in building atop a platform like this, and to gather suggestions as to what features would be good to have when extending the system from just generating stars down to generating planets, terrain, weather, and other world features described in the whitepaper. Feedback is appreciated!
