AtalaGOTCHI

AtalaGotchi is an onchain game for the Cardano blockchain.

AtalaGotchi's will be "living" creatures on the blockchain. They will respond to time, feed and other wallet characteristics.

They will grow as they are fed and change in appearance as they grow. They will also take on characteristics from other NFT's held in your wallet, as well as the stakepool you are delegating to. AtalaGotchi's can die if they are not fed.

This game will demonstrate the possible interactions between NFTs and Smart Contracts in an open framework allowing for other creators to participate

Background

The Cardano Blockchain is operated by stakepools. Currently there is a desire to increase the level of decentralisation by encouraging delegators to stake their ADA with single stakepools (those that have not split their pledge).

The protocol has incentives to encourage decentralisation. This will be further encouraged by the use of Not AdaGotchi's game play.

The Not AdaGotchi's team is using this concept to demonstrate solutions that will be used in other decentralised systems, such as decentralised insurance that requires similar interactions between NFTs and Smart Contracts.

Tokenomics

AtalaGotchi's aim is to be an open and organic ecosystem, there are no hard coded limits. Creatures are spawned by Stakepools, they can be bred when they reach maturity and they die if they are not fed or can't breed if they become too old.

Creatures and Feed are airdropped to participating delegators. Each Epoch, they will be issued with new Feed tokens.

We expect there to be an initial oversupply of feed, but as breeding starts, we expect feed to be scarce, creating a market for feed. Those that are delegating to participating stakepools but are not playing, could sell the feed to others.
