👋Welcome to the Dragon Sanctuary

This is a preliminary whitepaper outlining the overall objectives and roadmap of the Dragon Sanctuary operation, and is subject to change based on market and financial conditions*

Overview

Dragon Sanctuary (DS) is a gaming and entertainment ecosystem powered by the BATL SPL utility token. The operation primarily features a series of free-to-play 3D Battle Arena games that merge the thrill of 3D combat with the power of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the Solana blockchain. In the Dragon Sanctuary, players enter a realm where powerful dragons clash for supremacy in various combat modes. Each dragon character has their own attributes, abilities, and rarity. By leveraging Solana's near instant and ultra low cost transaction fees, DS introduces true ownership and interoperability to the gaming experience, allowing players to freely collect, trade, battle and upgrade with their own dragon NFTs. DS's gaming ecosystem is interconnected, allowing players to utilize their characters in each game mode, as well as tied in to the entertainment ecosystem (trading card platform, raffle, player customization and profile character customization system). Our ecosystem combines various elements of web3 to provide a full suite of entertainment and gaming to the Solana community.

Introduction:

DS is a series of interconnected games based in a fictional "sanctuary" where dragons coexist under a hierarchical structure. Players entering the Sanctuary are on a quest to acquire the most powerful dragons and strategically battle their way to the top of the hierarchy. This involves competing in epic battles to prove their dominance. The games are based on strategy, game resources and player skill to succeed.

Core Elements of DS:

In-Game Dragon Characters (NFTs): Every playable dragon in DS is represented as an NFT, each with its own distinct traits, abilities, and rarity. Players can acquire, trade, battle and power up their dragons, building a formidable roster of creatures to command in battle. DS will have a native marketplace, but NFTs will also be available to export to outside marketplaces.
Blockchain Ownership: By leveraging the Solana blockchain, DS ensures true ownership of dragon NFTs, allowing players to buy, sell, and trade their digital assets securely and transparently.
Interoperable Gameplay: DS enables seamless interoperability between the game and the native marketplace as well as external NFT marketplaces, allowing players to import their existing dragon NFTs into the game or export acquired dragon NFTs to external wallets and sell on any marketplace. This interoperability unlocks new possibilities for players to engage with their NFT assets beyond the confines of the game.
Strategic Battles: Engage in high fidelity 3D battles where strategy and skill determine victory. Players must deploy their dragon NFTs strategically, exploiting their unique abilities and countering their opponents' tactics to emerge triumphant. Battle against the computer or in multiplayer mode to compete for the top spot.
Economic Ecosystem: The DS economy is powered by the $BATL SPL utility token, serving as the primary currency for in-game transactions, marketplace purchases, and player rewards via the native rewards system. Players can earn a combination of BATL/NFTs/Partner giveaways through gameplay achievements, tournament victories, and marketplace activity, fostering a vibrant ecosystem where skill and participation are rewarded. However, earning is not guaranteed, and is limited to specific tasks. The game is based on a "Win-to-Earn" model, rewarding active players and does not encourage playing the game simply to earn tokens.
Community Building System: One of DS's most interesting features is its unique ability to be used as a community building tool. There are very few options for keeping communities in the web3 ecosystem engaged outside of pure hype and some basic Discord games. There is always a new shiny thing to chase in this space. However, founders and community managers will be encouraged to use DS as an addition to keeping their audiences engaged, presumably through some form of prizes/rewards. The same way that community managers play Rumble or some Discord game, DS offers simple and fast battle arena games that can be used in the same manner. For example, a Whitelist prize can be awarded to a member of the community for winning a 1 or 3 round [90 second] match in the battle arena game. Ultimately, our goal would be to also incorporate characters from external communities to input into the game, allowing members to utilize their NFTs in combat.
Advertising System: Essentially, there are very few to no traditional advertising platforms in web3 due to tech giant monopoly restrictions. However, DS hopes to solve this by providing a platform for [optional] advertisements via standard banner and video ads. By viewing an ad on our platform, a player will earn some kind of reward. These can include tokens, NFTs, accumulate points, etc.
