What Is CryptoZoon?

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of [CryptoZoon](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-cryptozoon).

## What Is CryptoZoon (ZOON)?

[CryptoZoon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cryptozoon/) is a digital collectible game inspired by Pokémon Story. Its mission is to build a comprehensive platform of digital monsters that will enable millions of individuals to participate in the NFT and blockchain-based gaming world in a simple, creative and enjoyable way.

Players can trade NFTs called ZOANs, digital collectible creatures with different traits, levels and tribes. All ZOAN spawn from eggs and undergo an evolution to reach their final development stage. Players need to spend a few ZOON to take their digital creature from the egg phase to the ZOAN phase. 

ZOANs can be trained and grow to fight monsters called Yaki Monsters. By fighting Yaki Monsters, players can earn ZOON, the native token of CryptoZoon as a reward. There are four ZOAN tribes in CryptoZoon and each tribe has different abilities. ZOANs come in six different levels of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Epic and Legendary.

Furthermore, CryptoZoon offers an NFT marketplace, where players can trade their ZOANs, and farming, where players can put up their NFTs as collateral to farm liquidity. Players can also compete against each other to receive ranking rewards and breed their ZOANs to create new NFTs. 


## Who Are the Founders of CryptoZoon?

The founders of CryptoZoon are anonymous. On their website, they state the legal situation of cryptocurrency in their country as the reason and point out other successful projects such as Sushi that have been built by anonymous founders, while projects like NanoDoge have been rug pulls even with a public team. This anonymity indicates that the team is not from an English-speaking country. The project might conceivably be from China, where cryptocurrencies repeatedly have met with resistance, although we don't know that for sure.


## What Makes CryptoZoon Unique?

CryptoZoon is taking a page out of the playbook that has worked for other play-to-earn games. Players have multiple ways to accumulate ZOON. 

First, they can fight Yaki Monsters and earn ZOON for successful battles. The game algorithm selects winners based on different ZOAN.

Characteristics, such as indicators, rarity and evolution levels. The rarer a ZOAN, the more turns it gets to fight a monster every four hours and, thus, the more ZOON it can earn. Turns are split according to the following ascending order of turns per hour:

ZOAN rarity level — frequency of ZOAN — turns to fight monster per four hours

Common 52.25% 1

Uncommon 26.12% 2

Rare 8.7% 3

Super Rare 6.53% 4

Epic 3.48% 5

Legendary 2.92% 6

Besides fighting regular Yaki Monsters, ZOANs can also fight Yaki Bosses once per week. Players need four ZOANs to participate: at least two ZOANs, each from rarity levels two and three, or at least one ZOAN from levels four, five or six. The token reward gets divided among the winners.

ZOANs that have reached level three or higher can be staked to generate farming rewards in the form of ZOON tokens. The team envisions a three-tiered profit system, where players can earn from holding ZOON tokens, use ZOON to buy NFT creatures, and use these NFT creatures in battle and as collateral to generate more ZOON and BNB.

## How Many CryptoZoon (ZOON) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The total supply of ZOON is 1 billion. 25% have been distributed in an [IDO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-dex-offering), with a soft cap at 400 BNB and a hard cap at 800 BNB, where each wallet had a 2.5 BNB at a 312,500 BNB/ZOON valuation. 

According to the team, the IDO was sold out in less than 25 seconds. 43% of tokens are reserved for play-to-earn features: 15% for farming, 14% for monster battles and 14% for trainings. 25% are reserved for liquidity pools, leaving 2% for airdrops and 5% for developers with a lock-up period of one year.

## How Is the CryptoZoon Network Secured?

ZOON is a BEP-20 token on the [Binance Smart Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-binance-smart-chain), while the NFTs follow the ERC-721 standard. The team states it chose BSC because it is fully compatible with the [Ethereum Virtual Machine](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm), includes pre-integrated oracles such as [Chainlink](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chainlink/), operates with lower [gas fees](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-gas-fees) than Ethereum, and because BSC’s compatibility with EVM makes it easier to list on major exchanges. 

BSC is secured through the [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible to do so.


## When Will CryptoZoon Trading Begin?

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.

Alien Worlds (TLM) is a decentralized, non-fungible token (NFT) metaverse, where players compete for scarce resources, Trilium (TLM), in a stimulated economy centered around planetary worlds. Due to this, Alien Worlds also has a decentralized finance (DeFi) element to the game, as players advance by staking TLM and using TLM to vote in Planet Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games have seen an exponential rise in popularity and value this year. Alien Worlds allow the players, called “explorers” to earn monetary rewards through gameplay or participation in Planet DAOs. By mining in Alien Worlds, a user is rewarded with the native, in-game currency — Trilium (TLM) or NFT packs. Players can stake TLM to boost their rewards or battle with other users for NFTs.

To date, Alien Worlds has established a fair amount of its roadmap, having TLM on Binance launchpad and farming period of TLM on Binance Launchpool. A large portion of game developments have been forged as well. Moving forward, Alien Worlds aims to automate the claiming process of daily allocation to landowners in the game. Artifacts NFTs are soon to be released, and future plans include NFT interoperability.

CyberVein's big-data solution is based on the PISR (private, interlink, secure, robust) distributed database, database operations are stored on CyberVein blockchain network which runs on a Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) consensus mechanism. The solution is focusing on enterprise-level "blockchain + big-data" customized services.

CVT is the native utility token that is used for:

Storage payment: The data owner pays the corresponding storage fee based on the file size and bandwidth consumed in such a process.

Computing power payment: Payments from user to owner for usage, and remuneration for software developers is going to be exclusively conducted in CVT.

Data exchange: On CyberVein's federated learning platform, the data acquirer trades the data at a price contracted between the two parties for distributed modeling applications.

CROSS NFT issuance payment: Dapp businesses are obligated to pay for Storage and Data Exchange in light of network resources occupied, and may set up CyberVein token as a means of payment to issue NFT or conduct business in accordance to their desired business model.

CyberVein tools include:

PISR Consortium database, creates better data management: through safe and reliable virtual machine operation and maintenance of user data, data is efficiently aggregated for upstream data, and data traceability and tracking are realized to ensure the reliability of data sources and outputs, and achieve cross-level, cross-departmental data sharing to improve the timeliness, diversity, stock and density of data to realize the commercial value of data, and truly solve the problems in data flow.

DAG storage chain, creates safer data storage, with better efficiency, no block confirmation, low transaction fees, and also eliminates miner, supports asynchronous verification and parallel processing of each node, the more nodes, the faster the speed, the stronger the scalability, which leads to better scalability. The database backup on DAG storage chain provides an extra layer of security for businesses.

Cytrix, allows GPU to be shared. Nodes can contribute part of their GPU to the network, in return for compensation through the Proof of Contribution mechanism. The contributed GPU can aid enterprises or individuals in data modeling with federated learning.

Federated Learning Platform, enables data to be monetized. Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning workflow. The datasets are first trained locally, and the data of all parties is kept locally, without revealing privacy or violating regulations.  Individual terminals return trained models to the server to create a shared model. Effectively protect data privacy and security, solve the problem of information silo, and thus realize the value of data. The platform will also provide algorithms to support data modeling operations by enterprises and individuals.
