• Will fully onchain game (FOCG) become the next trend in the market?

Bibliotheca DAO – The Development Team Behind Realms World

Launched in 2021, Bibliotheca DAO is a fork of Dom Hoffmann’s Loot project. DAO has attracted passionate and talented community members with the ambition to work together to build an open gaming protocol where anyone can build on it.

With the desire to be as decentralized as possible, the Bibliotheca DAO was managed by Realms NFT holders and these NFTs were distributed through a fair issuance so everyone could participate. Contributors are funded by the DAO to develop their first gaming versions.

During two years of development, Bibliotheca DAO has achieved many outstanding achievements such as:

• Quickly become the standard and become the leader in Onchain game development with the onchain game engine Dojo.
• Gained the attention of game developers and community recognition on Starknet
• A growing Gaming ecosystem with 12 games currently in nurture, upcoming, and 12 games in development.
• A community dedicated to the goal of maximum DAO decentralization

After a 2-year journey of developing Realms, DAO has now decided to change its brand name to Realms World with a new vision of not only developing an online game space but also being a center of Game Onchain on Starknet. . To achieve this vision, Bibliotheca DAO has proposed a number of immediate short-term tasks:

• Incubate new games within the Realms World ecosystem
• Provides the first version of the Realms: Adventurers gaming protocol
• Build an AMM on Realms World
• Build an NFT Marketplace on Realms World
• Build an NFT AMM on Realms World

What’s special about the Realms World ecosystem?

Realms World’s ecosystem currently includes two games built internally by Bibliotheca DAO, Eternum and Loot Survivor, and eight additional games, all of which are in development. In addition, Realms World is also thinking about developing on a Layer 3 and using LORDS tokens as gas fees.

In order to serve the development of the Realms World ecosystem in the future, Bibliotheca DAO clarifies and offers 3 popular Onchains Game models at the present time including:

• Short Session Games: These are 1-player games, with play times ranging from 5 to 30 minutes, depicting low-cost, replayable games similar to on-chain roguelikes. Some game examples in this category include: Loot Survivor and Dope Wars ‘Roll Your Own’.
• Mid-Term Session Games: These are short session games, integrating attractive economic mechanisms, reminiscent of Board Games. Example of an on-chain Monopoly game: Requires 6 participants where players can join for free or have a fee to join. Some typical games include: Words3, Beer Baron and Darkforest.
• Eternal games: Creating games following this model is especially difficult due to the myriad of factors involved. Despite being notoriously difficult, onchain MMO games still attract great attention and bring interesting experiences. A typical game is Eternum, there are also other games coming to the market such as: Downstream, Mithraeum and Conquest.

The following are outstanding onchain game projects in the Realms World ecosystem.

Eternum – Strategy Onchains game on Starknet

Eternum is a strategy game built on StarkNet. This is a management and conquest game where players must build and defend their kingdom. The game is completely onchain and governed by a set of rules enforced by in-game Smart Contracts.

Even though Eternum is deployed on Starknet, all state changes will still be recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. So once deployed and operational, it will exist forever on Ethereum. To participate in Eternum, users need to own Realms NFT – a collection of 8,000 NFTs representing 8,000 realms in the game.

Each kingdom contains at least one and up to 7 of the 22 different resources in the game. The player’s mission is to buy labor to exploit and harvest resources, with the rarer the resource, the higher its value. Users can use newly harvested resources to trade with LORDS tokens through AMM. If there are excess resources, users can Swap them to get LORDS tokens or conversely can also use LORDS tokens to buy the necessary resources to develop their kingdom.

Realms: Adventurers – Game built on Eternum

Realms: Adventurers is an onchains game that uses an economic loop to incentivize developers and provide players with ownership and ownership of their assets. The game builds on the principles of the original Eternum game, and serves as a basic set of rules and interface standards for developing an onchain game.

In addition, Realms: Adventurers also introduces a new concept of web3 games called Play 2 Die with the aim of offering incentives that encourage participation from both game developers and gamers. This is achieved through an economic loop created.

To participate in the game, users must own an Adventurers NFT with a minting cost of 10 USD. This allows a large number of users to participate in the game, and NFTs themselves are not speculative.

A special feature of Realms: Adventurers is that it allows developers to build their own games in it and Adventurers NFT will play a specific role in managing the kingdoms. Players can also travel and interact with other kingdoms in the game.

Loot Survivor – Roguelike onchain game on Starknet

Loot Survivor is a survival roguelike game that is completely on-chain and deployed on the Starknet. The game is built by Bibliotheca DAO and the Realms World community.

Regarding gameplay, people can imagine Loot Survivor as an onchain arcade machine or in Vietnam also called a slot machine that can be found in shopping centers, users need to buy slots and put them in to play the game. For Loot Survivor, users need to put in a small amount of LORDS tokens to start playing, then try to fight monsters and climb to the top to receive attractive rewards.

Token LORDS: Central to Realms World’s Ecosystem

The Realms World ecosystem is anchored by the LORDS token, which revolves around a multifaceted structure. The foundation of this system is the Lordship Protocol – a liquidity mechanism on the Realms World platform that aims to create long-term liquidity and align the interests of LORDS token holders, Loot Realms NFT holders and Developers.

LORDS token is very important and plays a major role in the economy of Realms World so Lordship Protocol tries to create the most use cases for LORDS token as follows:

• Users Stake LORDS tokens to receive veLORDS back for governance
• DAO treasury will receive fees from providing liquidity on Ekubo, then buy back LORDS tokens and pay rewards to users who own veLORDS in the wallet.
• Users can also use veLORDS to provide liquidity and receive dLORDS in return.
• dLORDS can be earned within the Realms World ecosystem, and can also be redeemed for LORDS tokens at the current VRGDA price.

In general, with the incentive mechanism to lock LORDS and many use cases used in the Realms World ecosystem, it has created a lot of motivation for the price increase of LORDS tokens and this has been clearly shown with a growth of about 5%. times recently.

summary

Realms World is an outstanding project in the Starknet ecosystem. With clear development plans and being a leader in the field of onchain games, Realms World will have a lot of development potential in the near future.
