Jalan Sukses: MyEtherPony: More than A Blockchain Collectible Game

It can’t be all about trading and managing your mining operation. Some fun needs to be put into it and I don’t know about you guys, but I love playing game. I decided to give you an examples of amazing cryptocurrency related games you need to check out and play.

MyEtherPony

MyEtherPony (MEP) is a digital pet game developed on the blockchain platform that allows users to collect and trade digital assets in the form of ponies. Each pony in MEP is unique just like in the real world and as such no identical ponies can ever be found. Start off with your favorite pony, and breed to get the rarest one. Showcase your pony’s farm to the community and they will be able to breed and trade with you. General information about your ponies will be available to all viewers to see.

The team believes that the future of MEP is limitless as each pony is a crypto-backed asset fully controlled by the user granting him peer-peer access as well as immutability and transparency in transactions. The mission behind MEP is the creation of a fun way for users to learn about crypto that incorporates social elements and offers flexible gameplay for users depending on their behavior patterns with an emphasis on sustainability and innovation.

How It Works

Ponies are born within the Ethereum Smart Contract and are called Gen-0 ponies. Gen-0 ponies are the ponies that generated in pre-defined smart contracts. There are only around 5000 ponies available in the bidding market and over the time they will be released to the market. Once all the Gen-0 ponies are generated it is needed to give the birth for new ponies. It can be done through mating with ponies of other owners. At this instant, the interested pony owner will pay matching fee before the breeding can happen. The breeding is actually a smart contract that will determine the attributes of the newborn pony based on the gene code of both parents.

The index used to ensure competitiveness is the Happiness of ponies which used as criteria for entry to competitions. This can be increased by more frequent petting or changing the petting style to one which the pony likes. Mini-games are also available within MEP like duels where users contest for rewards.

MEP is highly incentivized for users who contribute towards the growth of the community and thus keep it self-sustainable. The MEP marketplace is open, transparent and secure allowing users to freely trade their ponies globally. Auctions are highly efficient, transparent and maintain reasonable costs per bid.

MEP Token (DKL)

MyEtherPony utilize an ERC20 token called Dekla (DKL) within MyEtherPony. DEKLA is necessary for users to make a purchase or to earn with MEP. Ponies are the main characters or tokens in MEP and just like in the real world they can be traded, gifted to others or stored in wallets. The token is necessary for anything purchase and potentially earned within MyEtherPony. In other words, DKL is the instrument for economic activity in MEP App.

MyEtherPony will also explore and adopt ERC721 to present a set of unique items with unique attributes. ERC721 is a type of token on Ethereum that is non-fungible, meaning each of them are unique. Since they are unique, 1 unit of ERC721 token may have a different value than another because of the different attributes each of them has.
