Pulsechain Rally White Paper

Introduction

Welcome to Pulsechain Rally, a blockchain-based racing game designed to promote activity on the Pulsechain network while driving the value of RLY tokens. Players race to cover a target distance of 10,000 kilometers by purchasing fuel (RLY tokens) and maximizing their speed through blockchain transactions. With engaging mechanics, lucrative rewards, and a sustainable tokenomics model, Pulsechain Rally offers an exciting way to interact with the Pulsechain ecosystem.

Game Mechanics

Distance Calculation

The distance traveled by each participant is determined by a combination of fuel purchased (RLY tokens) and the number of blockchain transactions completed during each stage. The distance is accumulated across stages, with each stage having a different difficulty function. The formula for calculating the distance at each stage \(i\) is as follows:

\[ D_{\text{current}} = D_{\text{previous}} + \left[ R_{\text{purchased}} \times 0.5 + f_{\text{speed}}(T_{\text{blockchain}}) \times R_{\text{purchased}} \times f_{\text{difficulty}}(D_{\text{current}}, i) \right] \]

Where: - \(D_{\text{previous}}\) is the distance accumulated in previous stages. - \(R_{\text{purchased}}\) is the amount of RLY purchased. - \(f_{\text{speed}}(T_{\text{blockchain}})\) is the speed multiplier based on the number of blockchain transactions. - \(f_{\text{difficulty}}(D_{\text{current}}, i)\) is the difficulty function for stage \(i\).

Difficulty Function

The difficulty function adjusts the impact of the speed multiplier based on the current distance within each stage:

\[ f_{\text{difficulty}}(D_{\text{current}}, i) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } 0 \leq D_{\text{current}} < 2000 \text{ (Stage 1)} \\ 0.5 & \text{if } 2000 \leq D_{\text{current}} < 4000 \text{ (Stage 2)} \\ 0.25 & \text{if } 4000 \leq D_{\text{current}} < 6000 \text{ (Stage 3)} \\ 0.1 & \text{if } 6000 \leq D_{\text{current}} < 8000 \text{ (Stage 4)} \\ 0.05 & \text{if } 8000 \leq D_{\text{current}} < 10000 \text{ (Stage 5)} \\ \end{cases} \]

Speed Multiplier

The speed multiplier is calculated based on the number of transactions made on the blockchain:

\[ f_{\text{speed}}(T_{\text{blockchain}}) = 1 + \log(T_{\text{blockchain}}) \]

Game Stages

The game is divided into five stages, each requiring participants to achieve specific milestones and contribute to liquidity pools.

  1. Stage 1 (0-2000 km):
    • Maximum RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • Liquidity Pool: RLY/WPLS on Pulsex V1
  2. Stage 2 (2000-4000 km):
    • Maximum RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • Liquidity Pool: RLY/HEX on Pulsex V1
  3. Stage 3 (4000-6000 km):
    • Maximum RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • Liquidity Pool: RLY/WETH on Pulsex V1
  4. Stage 4 (6000-8000 km):
    • Maximum RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • Liquidity Pool: RLY/USDC on Pulsex V1
  5. Stage 5 (8000-10000 km):
    • Maximum RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • Liquidity Pool: RLY/DAI on Pulsex V1

Liquidity Pool Contributions and Rewards

At each stage, participants send their previous stage LP position to a game smart contract address, which then sends 50% of the LP position to the reward pool and 50% to a burn address. The first player to reach the target distance of 10,000 kilometers wins 50% of the reward pool, while the remaining 50% of the reward pool is left for the next winner. Subsequent winners receive 50% of the remaining reward pool.

Reward Pool Details

The reward pool consists of LP tokens that include both sides of the LP pair. For example, the RLY/WPLS pair in the reward pool will provide the winner with LP tokens representing both RLY and WPLS. This means that winners are enriched not only with RLY but also with the equivalent value in the other paired tokens. If a winner wants to cash out an LP, they could sell either RLY, the other tokens, or both sides of the pairs. This mechanism supports the price of RLY, as winners may choose to sell only the other tokens, preserving the value of RLY.

LP Burn Mechanism

When LPs are burned, two things happen: 1. Liquidity Lock: The liquidity cannot be removed. This ensures that there is always liquidity available for RLY trading, which supports market stability. 2. Deflationary Impact: Both RLY and its paired token in the LP are locked in a token that is sent to a burn address, meaning no one can access or trade these tokens. This deflationary mechanism reduces the circulating supply of RLY, potentially increasing its value over time.

Cost of LP Providing

Participants must provide liquidity to LP pools by adding equal dollar amounts of both RLY and the paired token. The cost of providing LP is thus the combined cost of both tokens in the liquidity pair. Below are the costs for each stage:

  • Stage 1: RLY/WPLS
    • RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • WPLS purchase: equivalent dollar value of 100 RLY
  • Stage 2: RLY/HEX
    • RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • HEX purchase: equivalent dollar value of 100 RLY
  • Stage 3: RLY/WETH
    • RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • WETH purchase: equivalent dollar value of 100 RLY
  • Stage 4: RLY/USDC
    • RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • USDC purchase: equivalent dollar value of 100 RLY
  • Stage 5: RLY/DAI
    • RLY purchase: 100 RLY
    • DAI purchase: equivalent dollar value of 100 RLY

Projected Blockchain Transactions

The number of transactions completed during each stage impacts the distance calculation and adds to the game excitement. Below are the projected number of transactions for each stage:

  • Stage 1: 20 transactions
  • Stage 2: 30 transactions
  • Stage 3: 40 transactions
  • Stage 4: 50 transactions
  • Stage 5: 60 transactions

Tokenomics

Initial Supply and Circulating Supply

The initial supply of RLY tokens is set at 1,000,000 RLY. Given the game mechanics and the burning mechanism, the circulating supply will be deflationary over time.

To ensure a viable number of tokens in circulation, only 50% of the LPs are burned, while the other 50% is added to the reward pool.

LP Burn Mechanism

At each stage, 50% of the LPs are sent to a burn address, permanently removing them from circulation. This deflationary mechanism ensures a reduction in the circulating supply, potentially increasing the value of RLY over time.

Projected LP Sizes and Burned RLY

As participants progress through the game, the size of the LPs and the amount of RLY burned will increase. Below are estimates for different levels of user engagement:

Participants Total RLY Burnt RLY Price ($) Reward Pool ($) First Winner Reward ($) Second Winner Reward ($)
100 5,000 0.10 3,500 1,750 875
500 25,000 0.12 52,500 26,250 13,125
1000 50,000 0.15 262,500 131,250 65,625
5000 250,000 0.20 2,375,000 1,187,500 593,750
10000 500,000 0.25 6,250,000 3,125,000 1,562,500

Estimated LP Sizes and RLY Market Capitalization

To illustrate the growth of the LPs and the impact on RLY market capitalization, we estimate the LP sizes as a percentage of RLY market cap over time:

Participants Total RLY Burnt RLY Price ($) Market Cap ($) LP Size ($) LP % of Market Cap
100 5,000 0.10 100,000 5,000 5%
500 25,000 0.12 600,000 30,000 5%
1000 50,000 0.15 1,500,000 75,000 5%
5000 250,000 0.20 10,000,000 500,000 5%

  • Current PLS Price: $0.0000395
  • Current RLY/PLS Exchange Rate: 162 PLS per RLY

Assumptions

  1. Increase in RLY Usage and Demand: As the game gains popularity and attracts more players, the demand for RLY tokens will increase. Let’s assume a conservative growth in demand that could lead to a doubling of the market cap due to new participants and increased token utility in the game.

  2. Price Bonding with PLS: Since RLY is bonded with PLS in one of its main LP pairs, its price will likely be influenced by the price of PLS. Given the assumption that PLS could reach $0.00395 (a 100x increase from its current price), the price of RLY in terms of USD could similarly be affected.

  3. Liquidity Growth: Assuming the game introduces additional liquidity and volume through increased participation, we can anticipate liquidity to grow. Let’s assume liquidity grows by a factor of 5 due to more trading activity and LP contributions from new users.

Calculating Projected RLY Price

To refine the price model and anticipate that the PLS/RLY ratio would increase with the success of the game, we should consider the following:

  1. Increased Demand for RLY: As the game attracts more players and becomes more successful, demand for RLY tokens will increase. This increased demand could lead to a higher PLS/RLY exchange rate, as more PLS would be required to purchase RLY.

  2. Tokenomics Impact: The deflationary nature of RLY, due to the burning of LP tokens, could reduce the circulating supply, further increasing the value of RLY relative to PLS.

  3. Arbitrage and Market Dynamics: With the increase in liquidity and trading activity, arbitrage opportunities may arise, pushing the PLS/RLY ratio higher as traders seek to capitalize on price discrepancies.

Revised Price Estimation

Let’s adjust the model to reflect these dynamics:

Assumptions

  1. PLS Price Increase: Assume PLS price reaches $0.00395.
  2. PLS/RLY Ratio Increase: Assume the PLS/RLY ratio increases due to heightened demand for RLY. Let’s project an increase from 162 PLS per RLY to 250 PLS per RLY, reflecting increased demand.
  3. Market Cap Growth: Assume the market cap doubles due to increased demand and game popularity.

Calculating Projected RLY Price

  1. Projected PLS/RLY Ratio: 250 PLS per RLY

  2. Projected RLY Price in PLS: \[ \text{Projected RLY Price in PLS} = \text{Projected PLS Price} \times \text{Projected PLS/RLY Ratio} \]

    \[ \text{Projected RLY Price in PLS} = 0.00395 \times 250 = 0.9875 \]

  3. Projected RLY Market Cap Increase: Double the current market cap due to increased demand and game adoption.

    • Projected Market Cap: $6,445 * 2 = $12,890

  4. Projected RLY Price in USD:

    • Adjusted for both market cap growth and PLS/RLY ratio increase:

    \[ \text{Projected RLY Price in USD} = \left(\frac{\text{Projected Market Cap}}{\text{Current Market Cap}}\right) \times \text{Projected RLY Price in PLS} \]

    \[ \text{Projected RLY Price in USD} = 2 \times 0.9875 = 1.975 \]

Conclusion

With the adjustments for an increased PLS/RLY ratio reflecting the game’s success and higher demand for RLY, the projected price of RLY after one year could be approximately $1.98. This projection reflects the compounded effects of higher PLS prices, increased demand for RLY, and the deflationary mechanics embedded in the game’s tokenomics. As always, these estimates are speculative and subject to market conditions and participant behavior.

        uint256 distance;
        uint256 transactionCount;
        uint256 lastTransactionTime;
    }

    mapping(address => Player) private players;
    uint256 constant MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_HOUR = 10;
    uint256 constant COOLDOWN_PERIOD = 1 hours;
    uint256 constant DISTANCE_PENALTY = 100; // Distance penalty in kilometers

    modifier rateLimited() {
        require(
            block.timestamp >= players[msg.sender].lastTransactionTime + COOLDOWN_PERIOD,
            "Transaction rate limit exceeded. Please wait."
        );
        _;
        updateTransactionCount(msg.sender);
    }

    function updateTransactionCount(address user) internal {
        if (block.timestamp >= players[user].lastTransactionTime + 1 hours) {
            players[user].transactionCount = 0;
        }
        players[user].transactionCount++;
        players[user].lastTransactionTime = block.timestamp;
        
        // Apply penalty if transaction count exceeds the limit
        if (players[user].transactionCount > MAX_TRANSACTIONS_PER_HOUR) {
            players[user].distance = players[user].distance >= DISTANCE_PENALTY 
                ? players[user].distance - DISTANCE_PENALTY 
                : 0;
        }
    }

    function participateInGame() external rateLimited {
        // Example game logic
        players[msg.sender].distance += calculateDistanceGain();
    }

    function calculateDistanceGain() internal pure returns (uint256) {
        // Calculate distance gain based on game mechanics
        return 10; // Example value
    }

    function getDistance(address user) external view returns (uint256) {
        return players[user].distance;
    }
}

Conclusion

By incorporating distance penalties and fair play incentives into the rate limiting model, the Pulsechain Rally game can effectively deter dishonest behavior and maintain an engaging and competitive environment.

    query {
  players(where: { address: "0xPlayerAddress" }) {
    id
    stage
    distance
    transactionCount
  }
}

5. Batch Queries

  • Batch Requests: For large data sets, use batch requests to minimize network overhead and retrieve multiple pieces of data in a single call.

    const batch = new web3.BatchRequest();
batch.add(web3.eth.getTransactionCount.request(playerAddress, 'latest', console.log));
batch.add(web3.eth.getBalance.request(playerAddress, 'latest', console.log));
batch.execute();

6. Data Caching

  • In-Memory Caching: Implement caching mechanisms for frequently accessed data to reduce redundant queries and improve performance. Use libraries like Redis or Memcached for caching data.

  • State Synchronization: Keep a local state that syncs with the blockchain at regular intervals to reduce the need for constant queries.

Best Practices

Revenue Model

1. In-Game Fees:

  • Entry Fees: Charge a small fee for participants to enter each stage of the race or to unlock certain features or stages in the game. These fees would be paid in RLY and could be directly accrued to the business.
  • Transaction Surcharges: Implement a small surcharge on transactions within the game (e.g., purchasing NFTs, special game items, or boosts) that goes to the business.

2. NFT Sales and Royalties:

  • Initial Sales: The business could generate revenue from the initial sale of NFTs (racer profiles, enhancements, etc.).
  • Secondary Market Royalties: Implement royalties on the resale of NFTs on secondary markets. Each time an NFT is sold, a percentage of the transaction value would be sent to the business.

3. Advertising and Sponsorship:

  • In-Game Advertising: Partner with brands to display advertisements within the game. For example, a racing arena could have banners with sponsor logos, generating revenue from sponsorship deals.
  • Sponsored Content: Brands could sponsor special events or challenges within the game, with the business taking a fee for hosting these events.

4. Token Allocation and Appreciation:

  • Business Treasury: Allocate a portion of the initial RLY supply to a business treasury. As the price of RLY appreciates due to game success and tokenomics, the value of this treasury increases. The business can strategically sell RLY tokens to fund operations or reinvest in the game.
  • LP Rewards: If the business holds LP tokens, it could earn a share of transaction fees generated by liquidity pools. However, this is more indirect and dependent on the overall ecosystem’s performance.

5. Premium Features:

  • Subscription or One-Time Purchases: Offer premium features, exclusive NFTs, or access to elite races in exchange for RLY or stablecoins. This could include access to advanced analytics, custom racer skins, or exclusive race tracks.

6. Consulting and Partnerships:

  • Blockchain Consulting: Leverage the expertise gained from developing Pulsechain Rally to offer consulting services to other blockchain projects, potentially generating additional revenue streams.
  • Cross-Promotion: Partner with other games or DApps, taking a commission or fee for cross-promotion or joint events.

Revenue Accrual Strategy:

The revenue generated through in-game fees, NFT sales, advertising, and premium features can be accumulated in a smart contract or a designated business wallet. The funds could then be used for operational expenses, development, marketing, and team compensation.

By structuring revenue in this way, the business behind Pulsechain Rally can generate sustainable income even as the game operates on a decentralized network like Pulsechain. This approach aligns with the decentralized nature of the game while ensuring that the business benefits from its success.
