TL;DR

Zed (zed.run) for basketball.

Short description

A virtual basketball game where each player is a NFT. Each player has attributes like speed, jumping ability, 3 point ability, etc. A user purchases a player and plays them against another user's player in a cash prize contest.

Characters

Our characters will be fictional. They will span different ages, genders, ethnic, and social backgrounds. We'll take inspiration from a variety of sources including real world athletes, video games, and basketball anime. Though our league (and broader metaverse) will be fictional, we want to keep our players human so that they're (1) relatable and (2) appraisable.

NBA 2K, Street Vol 2, Kuroku Basketball (anime)

Lineage

Each character will have a gold (X circulation), silver (XX circulation), and bronze lineage (XXX circulation). Characters in the gold lineage will be fully distinct; silver and bronze lineages will fit within templates and distinguish themselves by color like collectible NFTs.

Successive airdrops will unveil new lineages / classes of characters.

Attributes

Abbreviated list

Full data schema **here.**

We'll need to think carefully about a couple things as we define our character attributes:

• What is stored on-chain and off-chain? We need to reserve the flexibility to tweak character performance while also providing a fair and open game of skill.
• We want our game to be a giant data puzzle: the more you understand the interplay of different character attributes, the greater edge you have in winning the game. This is how our core target demographic—-DFS users—already operates. So let's setup our schema to facilitate that.
• A decay function on a player's physical performance. In the real world, a player's physical ability declines over time as they age and experience wear & tear. Their market value reflects that. Should we recreate this dynamic? What implications does it have on user behavior? Could it encourage a higher degree of cycling players?
