DRK consensus is upgraded from Proof-of-Stake of ETH 2.0 into Proof-of-Honor (PoH), following the footsteps of other multi-billion-dollar projects such as TON by Telegram and Quorum by JP Morgan. The rationale behind our choice of ETH 2.0 (over EOS, TRON, Stellar, NEO, etc.) is because ETH 2.0 is optimized for utilities and supported by the largest and strongest communities of developers around the world. We further upgraded the PoS consensus of ETH 2.0 into Proof-of-Honor (PoH), which uses HodgeRank to rank nodes based on the amount of Stakes and amount of Transactions to encourage DApp developers to serve as many users and generate as many transactions as possible. In a comparison, it is much more advanced than Proof-of-Importance (PoI) of NEM, which uses NCDawareRank.

PoH also adopts an advanced incentive system to eliminate all cheating & slacking miners to preserve the longevity of the blockchain network, and adopts a smart free-gas policy called “GasStation” which is more advanced than Tron’s to make blockchain transactions cheaper while evenly anti-spam and incentivizing to miners.

A privacy protocol on DRK called DaRK was invented as the first in the world to have scripting tools to support smart contracts and provide “privacy on demand” (instead of “privacy by default”), bringing blockchain closer to mass adoption. It combines the best of Aztec protocol, CryptoNote, BulletProof, and more. DaRK is a powerful weapon for our Smart Contract 2.0, making it more advanced than Mimblewimble and Zk-snark (which only accommodate native privacy coins without any scripting tools to write smart contracts).

Splinterlands is a digital, collectible card game based on blockchain technology and inspired by games like Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone, where players build a collection of cards with different attributes and battle other players in skills-based matches. It is a game where players can buy, sell and trade their digital assets just as they would with physical trading cards games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Splinterlands was created as players lost the ability to truly own their assets (or trading cards) once games went digital. With blockchain technology, it allows players to own and trade their digital assets freely once again. It also allows the game to have true scarcity and transparency, which means all cards on Splinterlands have a verifiable supply and historical record.

Players battle other players by choosing ranked or practice battles. With ranked battles, players can increase their rating. There is no downside to playing ranked battles as a beginner since players with a rating below 100 do not lose ranking points. Battles take place between players of similar strength. When matched up with an opponent, both players choose a set of six monster cards and one summoner card for the battle to destroy all their opponent’s monster cards and win the battle.

Although the game is free-to-play, players need to purchase the summoner’s spellbook for $10 if they want to unlock the game in full. With the summoner’s spellbook, players get access to their account keys and unlock the ability to earn Dark Energy Crystals, which can be redeemed for real currency.

Splinterlands started in May 2018 and launched Splintershards (SPS) – its governance token for the SPS decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) at the end of July 2021. It concluded a $3.6M private token sale for 6.6% of the SPS token supply. After reaching 100,000 players in its first three years, it added another 50,000 in just over a month from June 2021. Splinterland plans to build out its game in the latter half of 2021, with oracle integration planned for Q1 2022.

KardiaChain is a blockchain platform that aims to be fully interoperable and "non-invasive," meaning that blockchains can connect to the network without needing to make technical modifications to their own protocols. KardiaChain uses a dual-node structure to facilitate the connection between its own ledger and other blockchains, sharding for scalability and smart contracts for developers.

The platform relies on a native token, KAI, which is used for staking, transaction fees, participating in services and deploying smart contracts.

KardiaChain was first announced in October 2018, and its mainnet went live in December 2020.

Smooth Love Potion (SLP) tokens are earned by playing the Axie Infinity game. This digital asset serves a replacement for experience points.

SLP are ERC-20 tokens, and they can be used to breed new digital pets that are known as Axies. The cost of breeding begins at 100 SLP but increases gradually — rising to 200 SLP for the second breed, 300 for the third, 500 for the fourth, 800 for the fifth and 1,300 for the sixth. Axies can be bred a maximum of seven times, and the seventh breed costs 2,100 SLP. This limit exists in order to prevent hyperinflation in the marketplace.

It can take time to accrue SLP through the game, and a player may need to win 15 competitions in order to gain enough tokens to perform their first breed. Purchasing SLP on the open market is a way for gamers to get a headstart.
