Duelist King

A blockchain agnostic, decentralized, NFT card game with a focus on community involvement. Join Little John in his quest to find the Dualist King’s Holy Chest.

The Dualist King game exists to be played and enjoyed, but the secondary purpose for its existence is to showcase the capabilities of the DKDAO. The DKDAO is a toolkit, built by the creators of Dualist King, of easy to deploy solutions designed to help democratize the distribution of games and the issuing of their related digital assets.

Dualist King is blockchain agnostic and works on any chain that is EVM compatible, currently this means BSC, TRON, Polygon, and the soon to be compatible Cardano blockchain.

Dualist King uses an “in-house” DAO, oracle, and random number generator, from the DKDAO, to transparently manage in-game asset distribution and the evolution of the game. All decisions made regarding card issuance, card distribution and proceeds allocation are governed by these decentralized mechanisms and a tool is going to be made to allow the community to verify the fairness of this.

Being decentralized makes community central to the game’s success and the creators have tried to involve them in every aspect of the game. Community members who are artistically inclined can produce cards for the game, and there are incentives for all stakeholders, from players to investors.

All smart contracts, including the DAO, will be open sourced and available on Github.

Win-to-Earn

Dualist King is a win-to-earn game and winners of battles will be rewarded with cards, in-game points or artifacts. Once a duel is won a card will be dropped to the winner. The card will be covered and sealed. Players will have to spend DKT, the game’s native token, to uncover the card. They then have to pay a higher amount of DKT to unseal the card. This means they can then add it to their deck or trade it on the market.

Staking

Staking the game’s native token, DKT, is essential to the DAO which governs the game. Stakers get multiple benefits, including:

Receiving a portion of the Duelist King Revenue Pool
Discounted “mystery boxes” that contain cards
Being able to vote on proposals that determine the future of the project
Being able to propose proposals for voting

Token holder will also be entered into a lottery to win a unique 1-of-a-kind NFT. The probability of winning a lottery is proportional to the amount of DKT staked and the length of the period it has been staked for; with larger and longer giving the staker a greater chance of winning.

A free2play mode means that players who don’t possess cards will also b able to play the game.

Oracle

In the ancient world oracles were people through whom the Gods spoke directly to the inhabitants of earth. In the blockchain and crypto world oracles are a service that provides off-chain data to smart contracts running on a blockchain.

On-chain functions, i.e. smart contracts, cannot access real world data on their own. This is problematic when a smart contract is trying to provide the real-time price of financial assets to users, or when it needs to determine the outcome of a sporting event for a gambling protocol, or even when it has been asked to use something measurable in the real world, such as the temperature or quantity of snowfall, in its calculations. Oracles can feed any real world data onto the blockchain for use by smart contracts.

Data is collect it in a variety of ways: APIs, websites, sensors, etc, and can be manual input by humans. This data is collect by nodes and is then passed on to the oracle service that then supplies the smart contract with the data. Having one node supplying data means a central point of failure, and a high potential for manipulation of the data. As a result oracle services usually use a network of nodes to build a consensus of the correct data point and to prevent the data from being manipulated, thereby helping to ensure trust in the data they supply.

NFT

If you’re looking for a Cardano NFT then you’ve found the place for you! listed here are all the projects that feature NFTs in some form on Cardano. NFTs are no longer just the PFP collections that made them famous, although many do still exists and you can find Cardano NFT projects here, NFTs are assets with multiple different types of utility, depending on which project’s NFTs your buying.

A Cardano NFT is a native asset on Cardano which means that, unlike on other (specifically EVM-based) chains, an NFT is not managed by a smart contract, meaning that it behaves and is managed differently to the chain’s base asset, ada. On Cardano NFTs behave the same as the chains base asset as they are native to the chain.

On this page you’ll find everything from Cardano NFT projects to DeFi projects and decentralized identity (DID) solutions that have incorporated NFTs, to the Cardano NFT marketplaces you can use to purchase NFTs.

DAO

If a project on Cardano operates with a DAO that you’ll find it tagged and listed on this page. All of these Cardano DAO projects have, in some form or another, incorporated or plan to incorporate a DAO. Not all of them will be full autonomous and this may be for one of many reasons, be it that features are being released gradually, that they will never actually be a full and proper DAO (and this a debate for another time).

There are specific Cardano DAO projects listed here, and these are those that operate as a full DAO, who’s direction is guided by the votes of its members. Others on here are projects and protocols built on Cardano, and these can take various forms, including: DeFi projects, NFT projects, and gaming projects.

Regarding full Cardano DAO projects, these have been created around many different topics, the most popular being Cardano investment DAOs that invest in Cardano NFTs and tokens. However, there are other DAOs focused around things such as the development of open-sourced tooling, the growth of the DAO idea itself, and art.
