  "introduction/zoo-animal-utility": "Offers \u2705 -  NFT owners can switch on the offers button to allow any user in Zoo ecosystem to find your NFT and make an offer on your Animal. You will have an offers page where you will then be able to accept, decline or counter offer. If an offer is accepted the full ownership of the NFT will be transferred to the person who at that point will have effectively purchased the NFT from you. This means the NFT + collateral + its earned value to date will be transferred to the new owner. Furthermore the current boost level (as defined by the collateral) will remain the same. Despite the change of ownership the NFT will sustain the original utility as stated above. \n\nBuy/Sell  \u2705 -  You can list your NFT on the Zoo Market for a set price, or put it on auction with or without a floor price built in or both. If the selling price is met with a purchase the NFT will be sold and ownership will be transferred on chain. This means the NFT + collateral + its earned value to date will be transferred. Furthermore the current boost level the NFT is at will remain the same. Despite the change of ownership the NFT will sustain the original utility as stated above. \n\nCollateralize \u2705 - NFT owners can infinitely collateralize their Animals for further rewards, aka Boosts to be earned by using almost any currency, fiat or crypto. The collateral is locked into the NFT and can only be released if the NFT is burned, however owners can also sell the NFT with its collateral value for the perceived value or more. \n\nBoosts \u2705 -  Boosts are determined by collateral added. Another reward in addition to the daily reward that comes with the animal. Daily reward + (collateral x boost x days/365)\n\n$10 - $99 is a 1.1x boost\n\n$100 - $999 is a 1.2x boost\n\n$1,000 - $9,999 is a 1.3x boost\n\n$10,000+  is a 1.4x boost\n\nEarns  \u2705 -  Each NFT Animal has a set daily reward. Even if you never \u201cfeed\u201d your animal it will earn value on a daily basis. If you do add collateral and effectively collateralize your animal the daily reward will be amplified (Principal + Collateral Added) x Boosts x Assume Market + (daily earning amount x days.) You can see the estimated earning potential over time with the Zoo Reward Calculator.\n\nCreate Pool  \u2705 -  Essentially, a pool is just a set price you determine for two or more NFTs you own and now want to put for sale as a collection. Once the price of the pool is set anyone can purchase the pool from you if they exchange the value of its price with you. The price will be displayed in the preferred currency (as set by pool owner). Furthermore the user can pay in any currency crypto or fiat, after payment is sent it is converted to $ZOO and paid out to you. Once sale is initiated it can no longer be reversed, but can again be relisted. \n\nBreeding  \u2705 -  If you are able to breed two of the same adult species you will mint an NFT Egg of that species status, wether Endangered, Rare or Sublime. There are only 7 generations of animals allowed, therefore only 6 breed-able generations. \n\nHatch Eggs \ud83d\udc23 -  If you hatch an egg you will be able to unveil what animal is inside your egg. You will get an animal that is the same status of the parents, i.e. Endangered, Rare or Sublime. Once an Egg has been hatched the Egg NFT is burned forever and a new Baby Animal NFT is born, which could be fed more crypto or fiat aka \u2018collateralize\u2019 to mint the teen version and eventually the adult version.  \n\nBurns \ud83d\udd25  -  Burn your Zoo NFT to get back the rewards earned so far and the collateral that you locked into it. Zoo sustainability tax will be applied. \n\nMetaverse  -  Future versions of Zoo will include metaverse land where your animals will be able to live in. There will also be a app that allows you to place your animals into any physical setting with VR. Furthermore one can utilize the NFT file formats (FBX and WEBGL) to upload their animals into any type of metaverse landscape! \n\nPreviousMissionNextSustainability\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",
  "introduction/supporting-non-profits": "Zoo's dedication to the preservation of endangered species extends beyond the digital realm. We understand the crucial role that non-profit organizations play in safeguarding vulnerable animal species and are committed to forming meaningful partnerships with these organizations. By collaborating with non-profits that share our values and focus on the specific animals represented by our NFTs, we aim to generate awareness and support for their protection.\n\nThrough these partnerships, we strive to foster community collaboration and create compelling content that raises awareness and encourages action. Our platform serves as a catalyst for engagement and education, enabling us to amplify the conservation message and drive meaningful impact.\n\nThe Zoo DAO, as the governing body, takes responsibility for managing the treasury and ensuring that donations are allocated to impactful initiatives. The DAO's decision-making process prioritizes directing funds towards non-profit partnerships that align with our mission and have a proven track record in conservation efforts.\n\nAs Zoo continues to grow and evolve, we will forge new collaborations with non-profit organizations that share our passion for animal preservation. By expanding our network of partners, we can broaden our reach and actively contribute to initiatives aimed at protecting endangered species.\n\nThe metaverse-ready animals within the Zoo ecosystem serve as powerful ambassadors for conservation. By leveraging the creative capabilities and engagement of our community, we can make a lasting impact on the preservation of endangered species. The DAO remains steadfast in its commitment to the core objective of saving these animals, ensuring that the projects and initiatives we support align with this mission.\n\nTogether, through the collaborative efforts of the Zoo community, non-profit partners, and the DAO, we will drive positive change, foster awareness, and actively contribute to the protection of endangered species. By integrating conservation efforts into our Game-Fi multiverse ecosystem, we aim to inspire a sense of responsibility and empower individuals to take action, both within the digital world and in tangible ways that benefit our planet's most vulnerable creatures.\n\nPreviousMarket OpportunityNextZOO Foundation: Conservation x Education\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",
  "introduction/sustainability": "Blockchain technology has the potential to be a game-changer when it comes to sustainability and the environment. Unlike traditional centralized banking systems, blockchain is built on a decentralized and distributed network that has the power to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. In fact, according to a study conducted by the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, the annual electricity consumption of Bitcoin mining is only a fraction of the energy used by the traditional banking system.\n\nThe impact of human consumption on the environment cannot be disregarded, and companies must take responsibility for their environmental footprint. At Zoo Labs, we understand the importance of sustainability, and we have made it a priority in our approach to creating products and content. We believe that blockchain technology can have a positive impact on the environment and can be more sustainable than centralized banking.\n\nMoreover, blockchain can be used to track and verify supply chains, which can help reduce waste and ensure that goods are produced sustainably. This is particularly important for industries such as agriculture and fashion, which have been known to contribute to deforestation, pollution, and other environmental problems.\n\nZOO is not just a game, but it is also a sustainable investment opportunity for users. With NFTs, users can own in-game assets, which can be scarce, interoperable, and immutable. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, ZOO is poised and its community will happily capitalize on saving the environment and drive NFT Game adoption to the general public.\n\nAs more and more companies and industries adopt blockchain technology, we can expect to see a shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly practices. By leveraging the power of blockchain, we can create a more transparent and accountable economy that benefits both people and the planet for generations to come.\n\nPreviousZoo Animal UtilityNextMarket Opportunity\n\nLast updated 3 years ago",
  "game-play/gameplay-functions": "Pre-Drop Whitelist\n\nThe ZOO experience begins with our NFT Eggs and an NFT Egg Drop. Each ZOO NFT Egg Drop will feature a series of animals from egg, to juvenile, adolescent & mature forms. These drops may be themed based upon something related to the natural world, a cultural celebration, current events, partnerships and licensing agreements, or any number of other potential sources of inspiration. In the time before each NFT Egg Drop, new or existing users will have the opportunity to purchase one random NFT Egg, of potentially any available rarity tier, for the price of the most common Egg. When the NFT Eggs are distributed to the presale purchasers, their egg type and its related value will be revealed. Some lucky users will end up with our rarest and most valuable NFT Egg for the price of our lowest cost and most common NFT Egg!\n\nOriginal Egg Price\n\nThe original price of the three varieties of Eggs determines the cost to mint the future animals. The original price of the eggs will be as follows: \n\nSublime Egg, most rare 5% of distribution will be 1 ETH. \n\nRare Egg, second most rare 15% of distribution will be 0.5 ETH. \n\nThe Endangered Egg, the most common being 85% of the distribution will be 0.1 ETH. \n\nOnce a user has purchased their NFT Egg and it resides in their wallet, they may choose to hatch their egg into a baby NFT Animal according to each drop and its rarity tiers. To mint the teen version, the user must \u201cfeed\u201d the NFT 1 x the original price of the original price of its Egg. When doing this, the user isn\u2019t spending those tokens \u2013 they are staking them into the NFT. \n\nAfter their NFT Animal has hatched and they have had the chance to experience it in its teen form  the user can choose to \u201cfeed\u201d the NFTs original base price again but now 2x, to make their NFT Animal grow into its adolescent form, hence minting another NFT. Not only will you have another NFT but you will also now have collateral in the adult NFT worth 2x the original price of its Egg.  Now you can find another adult of the same species and breed them resulting in a new egg of the same rarity by paying the breeding fee which is 3x the price of the original egg.  \n\nFrom this point forward, the user can continue to feed their NFT Animal crypto, both $ZOO and virtually any other cryptocurrency, to stake the tokens into the NFT Animal\u2019s liquidity pool which results in the Boosts, see Boosts in Collateral Backed Segment. \n\nPreviousAugmented Reality AppNextCollateral Backed NFTs\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",
  "game-play/gen-0-nft-drop": "In our highly anticipated Gen 0 NFT drop, we are thrilled to introduce an enhanced reward system that aims to create an engaging and rewarding experience for our Zoo community. At Zoo Labs, we believe in providing consistent value to our collectors, and daily rewards play a crucial role in achieving that.\n\nEach Gen 0 animal NFT comes with its own unique set of daily rewards, designed to incentivize active participation and offer ongoing benefits to our collectors. Whether it's additional $ZOO tokens, exclusive NFTs, or other enticing in-game rewards, our daily rewards system ensures that there's always something to look forward to.\n\nBoosts, a powerful feature within the Zoo ecosystem, have a direct impact on the daily rewards. By adding collateral to the animals they own, known as \"Feeding,\" players can boost their daily rewards. These boosts amplify the potential rewards earned, providing an additional incentive for collectors to enhance the value of their animals over time.\n\nIt's important to note that the initial rewards are carved out during the Gen 0 NFT drop, with 50% of the entire token supply allocated towards rewards. This allocation sets the foundation for a robust and sustainable reward system that benefits our community. However, we want to emphasize that any further rewards, reward modifications, or the duration of the reward period are subject to the decisions made by the Zoo DAO.\n\nThe Zoo DAO, governed by community members, plays a vital role in shaping the ecosystem and ensuring its long-term sustainability. As a democratic entity, the DAO has the power to propose and vote on changes to the reward system. This ensures that the community's voice is heard and that the reward structure remains aligned with the evolving needs and aspirations of our collectors.\n\nIt's important to note that the daily rewards for each Gen 0 animal have a finite duration. Specifically, the daily rewards will continue for a period of two years after the animal is minted. This time frame allows for a meaningful and engaging reward experience while maintaining a healthy ecosystem that adapts to evolving dynamics.\n\nAs we move forward with the Gen 0 NFT drop, we remain committed to refining and optimizing the daily rewards system based on feedback from our community. We believe that by creating a transparent and inclusive governance structure through the Zoo DAO, we can collectively shape the future of the reward system, ensuring it remains vibrant, fair, and aligned with the interests of our valued collectors.\n\nJoin us in the Gen 0 NFT drop as we unveil an exciting array of animals with their own unique daily rewards. Experience the thrill of boosted bonuses, actively participate in the Zoo ecosystem, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our reward system. Together, we can forge a dynamic and rewarding journey that extends far beyond the initial mint, creating a lasting and fulfilling experience for all our collectors.\n\nA Guide to Breeding and Hatching in ZOO Labs\n\nAs the non-fungible token (NFT) market continues to grow, ZOO Labs offers collectors an opportunity to diversify their digital assets with unique NFT animals. This article explores the process of breeding and hatching NFT animal eggs, providing insights into how collectors can expand their collections and potentially increase the value of their investments.\n\nBreeding Basics: Understanding the Costs and Rewards\n\nIn ZOO Labs' ecosystem, breeding requires two adult NFT animals of the same species but can be of any generation. The cost of breeding is determined by the original egg price (OEP), which varies based on the rarity of the animal. For instance, a Sublime egg costs 1 ETH, a Rare egg is priced at 0.5 ETH, and an Endangered egg is valued at 0.05 ETH.\n\nUpon successful breeding, an egg is minted and can be hatched for free or sold on the marketplace. Hatching yields a baby animal that can be grown into a teen by locking in collateral, a process known as feeding. This step not only increases the animal's value but can also earn collectors a boost for each feed.\n\nProgressing through Growth Stages\n\nTo advance a baby animal to the teen stage, collectors must lock in collateral equal to the OEP. Transforming a teen into an adult requires collateral equivalent to 2x the OEP. Breeding fees, which amount to 3x the OEP, are directed to the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) rather than staking collateral.\n\nGenerational Limits and Breeding Privileges\n\nEach egg generation has a limit of one baby, one teen, and one adult that can be minted. Adults with breeding privileges can breed with another adult of the same species to mint a subsequent egg generation. However, there are restrictions on the number of generations allowed from the initial drop: the first generation can breed seven times, the second generation six times, and so on, until the seventh generation, which has no breeding privileges.\n\nIt is crucial to note that adult animals can be sold with or without remaining breeding privileges. If a first-generation animal is bred only twice and burned after 20 days, no further offspring can be produced from that animal.\n\nUpcoming Developments and Enhancements\n\nThe ZOO Labs project is continually evolving, with the highly anticipated Zoo Labs virtual reality (VR) platform expected to launch soon. This immersive VR environment will enable collectors to interact with their animals like never before, feeding, breeding, and caring for them in an entirely new dimension.\n\nBreeding in the ZOO Labs NFT ecosystem offers collectors a chance to expand their animal collection and potentially increase the value of their investments. With a well-thought-out strategy and a touch of luck, collectors may find themselves hatching rare and valuable NFT animals that enhance their digital portfolios.\n\nBreeding Rules and Allowances:\n\nAnimals can breed with the same species and generation.\n\nThe breeding privileges are determined by the generation of the animal.\n\nFirst-generation adult animals have 7 breeding allowances.\n\nEach subsequent generation has one less breeding allowance than the previous generation.\n\nAnimals can only breed with another adult of the same species and generation if both have breeding privileges remaining.\n\nThe rarity category of the animal determines its daily allowance based on age:\n\nSublime Animals: Baby - 1 $ZOO, Teen - 2 $ZOO, Adult - 3 $ZOO\n\nRare Animals: Baby - 0.25 $ZOO, Teen - 0.5 $ZOO, Adult - 1 $ZOO\n\nEndangered Animals: Baby - 0.05 $ZOO, Teen - 0.1 $ZOO, Adult -0.2 $ZOO\n\nRemember, breeding privileges are based on the generation of the animal, while the rarity category determines the daily allowance based on the age of the animal.\n\nEnjoy breeding and nurturing your adorable animals in Zoo Labs!\n\nPreviousBridging BlockchainsNextFeeding, Growing and Breeding\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",

  "game-play/native-token": "Gold and Silver Backed Token\n\nThe Zoo Token forms the core of the Zoo ecosystem, distinctively characterized by its unique backing of gold and silver. It is not merely a digital asset but a veritable gateway to the physical commodities realm, creating an innovative fusion of traditional and crypto assets.\n\nThe Zoo Token's distinctiveness starts with its multiplicity of liquidity pools. Unlike traditional tokens that are often confined to specific pools, Zoo Token's liquidity transcends typical boundaries, thereby promoting accessibility and versatility for token holders. The founding members of Zoo Game will launch the largest liquidity pools, which will contain Lux Tokens exclusively. These Lux Tokens, acting as a representation of real-world commodities, will be backed by silver and gold, infusing tangible value and stability into the digital Zoo ecosystem.\n\nMoreover, the flexibility of transactions with these Lux Tokens is key to understanding their value. Token holders have the liberty to transfer, sell, or even redeem these tokens to acquire their physical counterparts. In essence, the Zoo Token unlocks a pathway to an assortment of natural assets and commodities.\n\nWhile the initial phase will focus on precious metals, there is immense potential to broaden this scope, thereby encompassing a wider array of valuable resources. This expansion will further diversify and enrich the commodities within the ecosystem, amplifying the overall value of the Zoo ecosystem.\n\nThe Zoo Token is more than a game token - it embodies a bridging function between virtual and real-world assets. This pioneering step blurs the lines between the digital and physical worlds, thereby bringing a unique dimension of trading precious metals within the virtual Zoo ecosystem. Furthermore, it upholds a critical role within the game, driving the gameplay and heightening the utility of the platform.\n\nOne aspect of the Zoo Token that separates it from the rest is the easy acquisition process. Through an inventive bridge feature, the Zoo Token can be purchased with almost any asset, facilitating users to effortlessly transform their existing holdings into Zoo Tokens. This level of convenience encourages a wider demographic of participants to engage within the Zoo ecosystem, thereby fostering inclusivity.\n\nZoo Labs capitalizes on their gold-backed token expertise to design a solid framework for the implementation of commodity-backed tokens. The incorporation of gold and silver backing significantly bolsters the utility and stability of the Zoo Token. This unique feature caters to a spectrum of participants, including crypto enthusiasts seeking innovation and traditional investors seeking tangible assets with a secure store-of-value function.\n\nThe unique characteristics of the Zoo Token, primarily its gold and silver backing, combined with its role as the Zoo Game's native token, make it an exceptional digital asset in the field. It provides a platform for users to immerse themselves within the Zoo ecosystem, convert assets seamlessly via the bridge, and interact with a diverse array of commodities. It brilliantly exemplifies how the digital world can integrate with the physical, underpinning the next level of innovation in the intersection of gaming and finance.\n\nPreviousCollateral Backed NFTsNextNFT Marketplace\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",

  "game-play/asset-transfer": "Unlocking Value via Asset Transfer Mechanisms\n\nAs we delve deeper into the Zoo Ecosystem, it becomes clear how its unique dynamism offers inventive channels to realize the value of your digital companions. In this chapter, we focus on the principle methods of asset transfer in the Zoo Ecosystem - an intriguing blend of trading NFTs on the marketplace and an unconventional practice known as 'burning' your NFT.\n\nTrading on the Marketplace: Seamlessly Transferring Value and Stewardship\n\nA compelling means of unlocking your digital animal's value lies in its sale on the marketplace. This platform provides a stage where the inherent value of your NFT, enriched by careful nurturing and potential rarity, can be transformed into tangible returns. It's up to you to establish a fair selling price, preferably accounting for the accumulated value the NFT has amassed over time. Once the transaction is complete, the buyer not only inherits the animal's NFT but also the intrinsic value it has gathered, which encompasses the collateral fed to the animal and its earned rewards, potentially boosted.\n\nThe exchange is more than a mere shift of ownership; it signifies the transference of a prospering legacy. The new owner steps into a realm where they can further cultivate the NFT and harvest the rewards from their new digital ally.\n\nBurning NFTs: Reaping Rewards at the End of a Journey\n\nConversely, the Zoo Ecosystem introduces the concept of 'burning' your NFT as an alternate route to tap into its value. Though the term might sound ominous, this process mirrors the real-world practice of removing a coin or note from circulation. However, this marks the end of an NFT's digital life cycle in the Zoo Ecosystem. This cessation of the NFT\u2019s lineage and its potential yield is balanced by the opportunity to promptly access the NFT's underlying earned value.\n\nBurning an NFT provides an immediate way to extract the value nurtured within your digital companion, from feeding it to its daily rewards. While the action marks the finale of your pet's digital journey, it culminates in a rewarding climax that underscores its lifecycle.\n\nThese mechanisms of trading or burning NFTs are instrumental in fostering a dynamic and vibrant Zoo Ecosystem. They ensure high liquidity, contribute to maintaining high value for NFTs based on their underlying assets, and enhance their inherent worth. The Zoo Ecosystem evolves into an engaging and rewarding marketplace, a testament to these innovative asset transfer methodologies.\n\nAs we navigate the intricacies of these mechanisms, it's essential to remember that our journey within the Zoo Ecosystem is far from over. We'll continue to explore additional facets of this fascinating digital world in the following sections, delving into the further adventures and opportunities that await you and your digital companions.\n\nPreviousNFT MarketplaceNextGrowing with the Animals\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",

The NFTs intrinsic value is based on the scarcity and your collateral is multiplied by the APY of your animal for additional rewards. You can then more than likely resell your NFT for a higher value than the price purchased + your collateral + your rewards earned. Or you can just burn the NFT and get back the collateral value + the rewards. However, the only way to get back your staked collateral and rewards earned is to burn the NFT or sell it on the Zoo Marketplace.\n\nZoo is designed to easily add collateral or stake any currency on any of the Zoo Labs NFTs by \"feeding,\" \"breeding,\" or by minting an older NFT version of the animal. \n\nReleasing Collateral\n\nOnce a user stakes collateral into their NFT that value is locked in. This means that they have deposited that amount into our cute NFT animal piggy banks. The collateral is now earning APY based on the NFTS rarity, which furthermore determines its rewards yield %. As a user earns rewards, the rewards become apart of the collateral which increase the NFTs reward. In order to liquidate your collateral and its rewards the user has two options: he/she can \n\nA.)  Sell and transfer the NFT animal for the value of the NFT + its intrinsic value. When the user sells their NFT on the marketplace not only do they get back its staked value but also have the opportunity to make more based on its intrinsic value which is determined by the rarity within ecosystem.  Therefor if an NFT is scarce the ROI will be higher vs. an NFT that is widely available. \n\nor\n\nB.) The user can burn the NFT directly returning the staked value + rewards earned to date. When the NFT is burned the allotment to mint older animals (if possible) is gone forever as the NFT itself is gone for ever removing one of its species from the deflationary ecosystem of its own species. If you choose to burn your NFT a 20% tax will be imposed where 10% will go to the DAO and 10% will go back to the liquidity pool.\n\nRewards \n\nEvery NFT is a representation of an endangered species. The ecosystem represents the animal kingdom of endangered species, over 18,000. The amount of NFTs we release and put into circulation is dependent on how rare and endangered these animals are in the real world. Our first drop will consistent of 1,800 hatchable eggs with 3 varieties of separate rarities. These NFTs earn rewards and extra boosts off of collateral staked. When hatched each egg reveals an animal which earns rewards for a year.\n\nFeeding aka adding Collateral\n\nFirst you incubate an egg which will hatch into an Origin Baby Animal. Similar to Tamagotchi users can \u201ccare\u201d for their pets by feeding them and see their animals age up. As mentioned earlier the \u201cfeeding\u201d action is defined by adding any currency to your NFT and locking it in until you decide to burn the NFT or sell it to another user. With any Animal you can continue to feed it and eventually mint an older version. You just have to feed it the same value as its base cost.\n\nThere are 7 generations of NFTs in the Zoo ecosystem. It starts with an egg, a baby then a teen, and finally an adult. If a user collects two adults they can breed them to mint a new baby animal. Of each Origin Egg you can mint 1,500+ animals, collect them all or sell them on the Zoo Marketplace. You can also breed the animals if you collect the same species of adults that still have breeds left. The Origin Animals can breed 7 times and each generation after will have 1 less breeds possible. The ultimate objective of the game is to collect the highest yielding and most rare NFT within the Zoo ecosystem.\n\nBoosts\n\nWhat are boosts? \n\nBoosts are determined by collateral added. Another reward in addition to the daily reward that comes with the animal. Daily reward + (collateral x boost x days/365)\n\n$10 - $99 is a 1.1x boost\n\n$100 - $999 is a 1.2x boost\n\n$1,000 - $9,999 is a 1.3x boost\n\n$10,000+  is a 1.4x boost\n\nBreeding\n\nNFT Animals can be bred with other NFT Animals once they reach their adult form, achieved by \u201cfeeding\u201d the NFT Animal a specified amount of crypto.\n\nEach NFT Animal can be bred up to 7 times, and you may breed any two adult animals of the same species with one another to produce an NFT Egg.\n\nYou must breed two adult versions of the same species of NFT Animal in order to successfully produce offspring, which will come in the form of a totally random NFT Egg that may contain any one of the animals from that NFT Drop, including potentially the rarest!\n\nTo breed two adult NFT Animals, the user must select each animal in the user interface within the d\u2019App, and then initiate the process by \u201cfeeding\u201d the designated amount of $ZOO tokens (. This will mint a random NFT Egg, which the user can sell on our marketplace for profit, hold onto and sell later, transfer to any other user, or incubate and hatch into the random NFT Animal within.\n\nPreviousGameplay: FunctionsNextNative Token\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",

Once an Egg NFT hatches, an Animal NFT of the same status is minted and begins to earn $ZOO Tokens according to its staked collateral and the outlined daily reward, determined by its rarity/species. \n\nBased on rarity, age, and how much collateral is added to each NFT; each NFT is effectively an LP that can be burned to receive the underlying assets (collateral + rewards earned.)\n\nBefore freeing your animal a.k.a burning the NFT, $ZOO and practically any currency can be added as liquidity to your animal NFT to increase its value. When users add collateral to their NFT Animal or participate in transactions on the Zoo ecosystem a small fee will be taken to be donated to the Zoo Labs Foundation. Our economics have been designed to cater to the interests of collectors and charities alike while slowly supporting buy pressure through the gamification of the Zoo game, increasing the value of the total ecosystem.\n\nPools\n\nUsers can list NFTs as a pool on the marketplace. By placing the NFTs in a pool the users can determine the value of the entire set of NFTs by setting the price of the pool. Once a pool is created other users can purchase the pool for the value.

This vital mechanism allows for continual reward distribution, while concurrently maintaining the project's market cap, fostering the stability and growth of the Zoo ecosystem.\n\nHalf of the $ZOO token supply is prudently reserved within the Treasury. This strategic allocation further enables the distribution of rewards, acting as a buffer that bolsters the sustainability and longevity of Zoo Labs. These tokens ensure a steady stream of rewards for our community members, strengthening their connection with our ecosystem and enhancing their gaming experience.\n\nIntricately woven into the fabric of Zoo Labs is the Zoo protocol, which receives a validator from the Lux Layer 1 blockchain. This validator is pivotal in generating transaction fees within the Lux network, facilitating a continual influx of liquidity. This perpetual liquidity addition fuels the sustained growth of the Zoo community and game, fortifying the project's long-term viability.\n\nThe validator system not only ensures consistent liquidity but also promotes the organic expansion of our ecosystem.

Not only does this movement offer rewarding experiences, but it also empowers members to shape the future of the Zoo Protocol through meaningful decisions.\n\nZOO DAO governs the Zoo Protocol, a sophisticated set of smart contracts for collateral-backed NFT Animal assets. When you join the Zoo DAO, you earn Experience Points (XP) and governance tokens (KEEPER), empowering you to participate actively in the protocol.\n\nThe accrual of XP tokens is tied to undertaking \"quests\" or tasks, each with a specific reward allocation of XP and KEEPER tokens. These quests vary in complexity, with higher-level tasks requiring more substantial contributions to the community and yielding more XP. The more XP you earn, the faster you advance through the ranks, with your level determined by the equation: level * 300 - 500.\n\nProgressing through the levels not only grants you greater authority within the ecosystem, but it also broadens your influence. It's important to note that XP tokens are non-transferable and strictly tied to our Decentralized Identification Services (DIS) and comprehensive KYC procedures, preserving the integrity of the system.\n\nIn our ecosystem, votes are open for all members however some voting privileges are only reserved for members of certain levels. Generally, the higher level votes are more privileged and controlling decisions. Specific actions such as proposing, voting, and interacting with governance mechanisms may call for a blend of ZOO and KEEPER tokens. Different proposals cater to different levels, underlining the ecosystem's commitment to inclusivity. The required assets vary based on the activity in question, instilling dynamism and fostering spirited community engagement in our system.\n\nCentral to the ZOO Governance and Voting Protocol is the VZOO level and the stake age duration. Unique to our system, KEEPER token holders \"bet\" on proposals rather than voting. Winning bets yield additional tokens, promoting active participation. The process allows anyone who meets the requirements to submit a proposal, with those gaining traction advancing to the next round, while lesser-supported ones are eliminated. This distinctive approach ensures a vibrant and thriving ecosystem, rewarding active participation and fostering continuous community involvement.\n\nPreviousNFTs that make you smileNextDecentralized Identification Services\n\nLast updated 2 years ago",

  "differentiators/bridging-blockchains": "As the DeFi space continues to experience exponential growth, the number of blockchains available for investment also increases. However, each blockchain has its characteristics, with some being easy to use but expensive in fees, while others have light fees but are complex to navigate. The transaction limitations and difficulties experienced through the Binance Smart Chain in which our token was initially launched can be alleviated by our team's efforts in developing a bridge between Binance, Ethereum, and virtually every other blockchain with mass adoption, facilitated by $ZOO. This bridge, established through our ZOO platform, will facilitate universal exchange within the blockchain space.\n\nWhile traditional bridges trap tokens in vault contracts, the ZOO Bridge Protocol implements a unique approach, leveraging a threshold signature scheme. Oracles monitor the blockchain network to ensure funds are deposited in the smart contract, with ZOO tokens being burned on one chain via our bridge protocol and minted on the desired chain. This eliminates the need for a vault contract that could potentially contain vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. The ZOO bridge is entirely secured by cross-chain multi-party computation (MPC) validators who operate with threshold signature schemes (TSS).\n\nThe network is leaderless and ensures security through each validator running the same process upon receiving on-chain events on the various chains that the MPC validator group tracks. Consensus is achieved when two-thirds of all validators collectively sign the same transaction using their key, and a trade is issued to the destination chain. The $ZOO is minted when enough oracles see the ETH deposited into the smart contract. In a standard transaction, such as when ZOO teleports from Binance to Ethereum, we wait for three network confirmations. The ZOO Bridge Protocol represents a significant innovation in blockchain technology, improving the interoperability of blockchains and expanding investment opportunities.\n\n[IMG alt=\"\" src=\"https://zoolabs.gitbook.io/whitepaper/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F459349871-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FpsFKBNsed52OPxRZuUhD%252Fuploads%\"]\n\nPreviousSustainability TaxNextGen 0 NFT Drop\n\nLast updated 3 years ago",

Furthermore, our project's strong foundational support in the field of Education will be another element that will make it shine through the use of open-source elements. This content will all be created/curated by the ZOO Foundation's resident Director of Education.\n\nIn Q2 of 2022, Zoo will be working with our partners in conservation to establish content to be shared through the ZOO Foundation in an open-source format. This educational content, aligned to nationally recognized learning standards for grade levels K-12, and supplementary content we will develop will be completely FREE to schools around the US and schools will be encouraged to share the results of their time spent working with the materials we create in a repository of open-source materials that will be found on the ZOO Foundation's website in the future.\n\nOur developers are dedicated to improving the future of the world and ideally getting rid of economic slavery altogether. Furthermore, we can't wait to see what future developments come out of our community. The possibilities are endless and begin with community engagement: so join us on Github!\n\nPreviousPartnerships\n\nLast updated 3 years ago",

  "__root__": "As we stand on the cusp of a digital revolution, an innovative project known as Zoo is propelling us into the uncharted territories of the metaverse, Web4, and Game-Fi. This daring initiative is not just a technological leap forward; it represents a radical rethinking of how we perceive and interact with the world, both physical and digital.\n\nZoo is a cornerstone of the emerging metaverse, an expansive and interconnected virtual space that is the next frontier in internet evolution. As our digital landscape expands, the line between the physical world and the virtual realm becomes increasingly blurred. We're moving away from the passive, screen-based interactions of Web2, stepping into the immersive, dynamic, and encompassing world of Web3. This transition signifies an era where humans are no longer merely observers but active participants in a vibrant and evolving digital universe.\n\nIn this metaverse, Zoo is a pioneering force, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The project invites users to explore a captivating digital world teeming with virtual wildlife and real world assets. It's not just a game; it's a thriving, dynamic ecosystem where players can traverse breathtaking digital landscapes, enco  unter and interact with exotic virtual animal species, and participate in collective missions. Each activity in the Zoo ecosystem has a higher purpose tied to it, contributing to the overarching goal of conservation of endangered species, instilling a sense of purpose and reward in the gameplay.\n\nTo take this immersive experience to the next level, Zoo leverages the power of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/MR/VR aka XR). The XR technology used by Zoo allows players to immerse themselves in the digital environment fully. By creating a sense of presence, it makes the virtual world feel incredibly real, enhancing the emotional connection between players and the game. The result is a gaming experience that is not just about entertainment; it's also about empathy and connection.\n\nBut the influence of Zoo extends beyond gameplay. Its application of XR technology transcends the realms of gaming, allowing users to interact and communicate within the metaverse in ways that mirror our physical world interactions. We're not just talking about traditional social activities transformed into the digital realm, like attending concerts or chatting with friends. We're looking at an entirely new paradigm of interaction where users can create, share, and experience content within the metaverse, taking social interaction and content creation to a whole new level.\n\nThe advent of Web3, with its emphasis on decentralization, user-centric designs, and immersive experiences, sets the stage for Zoo's rise. This bold new internet era aligns seamlessly with Zoo's vision, enabling the project to lead the way in redefining online interaction. By marrying the potential of the metaverse and XR, Zoo creates a space where interaction, entertainment, and creativity coalesce into a unique and transformative digital experience.\n\nThe immersion and user participation that Zoo offers are only half of its genius. The project's integration of blockchain technology and the concept of Game-Fi - a fusion of gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) - is another revolutionary aspect that separates Zoo from its contemporaries.\n\nBlockchain technology provides the foundation for Zoo's decentralized structure, enabling transparency, trust, and user empowerment. By taking advantage of the immutable nature of blockchain, Zoo can build an open and fair gaming platform that operates on peer-to-peer interactions and community governance. This level of transparency and trust is something that traditional gaming platforms have been unable to achieve.\n\nIn Zoo, each player's actions, accomplishments, and interactions can be stored on the blockchain, creating a permanent, tamper-proof record of a player's history within the game. This means the time and effort players put into the game are recognized and rewarded accordingly, making the gaming experience more meaningful.\n\nWhat makes Zoo stand out even more is its use of Game-Fi, a revolutionary concept that integrates gaming and DeFi. In traditional gaming platforms, the in-game assets that players earn or purchase typically have no real-world value. In contrast, Zoo's application of Game-Fi allows these assets to hold tangible, real-world value. The in-game items, animals, or accomplishments that players earn can be tokenized and become tradable assets within the game's economy.\n\nThrough this Game-Fi model, players can potentially earn returns from their in-game activities, much like how investors earn from their financial activities in the DeFi world. By playing the game, participating in its ecosystem, and achieving various milestones, players can earn tokens or other digital assets that can be traded or sold, effectively turning their gaming efforts into potential financial rewards.\n\nZoo's game economy is therefore not just a self-contained system; it has the potential to interact with the broader digital economy. Players can even potentially 'cash out' their earnings to the real world, which represents a significant departure from the norms of conventional gaming.\n\nThe introduction of Game-Fi into the gaming industry by projects like Zoo disrupts the traditional gaming business model, redefining the role and power of players in the gaming ecosystem. It creates a new form of gaming where players are not just consumers but also stakeholders, with the potential to earn and trade assets in a way that has previously been the exclusive domain of financial markets. This is a groundbreaking development, reshaping our understanding of gaming, finance, and the overlap between the two.\n\nAs innovative and compelling as Zoo Labs' offerings are, they do not exist in a vacuum. The project acknowledges and directly addresses the challenges and potential issues that come with this uncharted territory, paving the way for long-term sustainability.\n\nThe volatility and unpredictability of cryptocurrency markets, the potential for exploitation in DeFi systems, and the complex technical barriers associated with blockchain technology could pose serious challenges for players and the Zoo ecosystem as a whole. Zoo is well aware of these challenges and has developed a comprehensive strategy to tackle them.\n\nFirstly, Zoo implements robust security measures and audit systems to protect against potential exploitation or malicious actions within the game economy. Rigorous testing protocols and smart contract audits ensure the integrity of the platform and the assets it hosts. Furthermore, the project is committed to creating an environment that prioritizes player welfare and security, integrating best practices from both the gaming and DeFi industries.\n\nSecondly, Zoo makes a conscious effort to reduce the barriers to entry associated with blockchain technology. The team behind Zoo understands that the complexity of blockchain can be intimidating for new users. Therefore, they have taken significant steps to create an intuitive, user-friendly experience, providing comprehensive educational resources and a user interface that is easy to navigate, even for those without prior blockchain experience.\n\nFinally, Zoo manages the inherent volatility of the crypto markets by adopting a balanced and sustainable economic model. The project employs algorithmic mechanisms and reward structures that encourage steady growth, stability, and user engagement. By carefully balancing supply and demand and integrating automatic liquidity provisions, Zoo aims to create a game economy that remains stable and sustainable, even in the face of external market fluctuations.\n\nTo sum it up, Zoo Labs isn't just proposing a revolutionary idea. They are implementing it in a well-thought-out, comprehensive manner, considering potential challenges and offering solutions. It represents an exciting intersection of gaming, DeFi, and blockchain, holding the promise to reshape not just the gaming industry, but also our broader understanding of digital economies. Zoo is not just a game; it's a glimpse into the future of digital interaction and commerce, exemplifying the transformative power of blockchain technology.\n\nNextMission\n\nLast updated 2 years ago"
