Glossary

MOBOX: An old project that has been on Binance since 2021 and is the absolute king in the blockchain gaming field.

Dragonverse Neo (Dragon Universe): A 3D game made by MOBOX in Merlin Chain, with Genshin style + open-world gameplay of the fantasy beast Parlu.

Main world + parallel world: The Dragon Universe is divided into two parts. The main world can be understood as the game plaza hall, which is mainly used for hanging out, picking up garbage, and teasing the dragon lady; the parallel world is a game with different mechanisms. With tickets, you can enter and play games to make money. Different parallel worlds can be entered from the main world map.

MDBL (Buy Dian Ba ​​Long):The native token of the Dragon Universe game is a shovel that can mine gold.

eMDBL: MDBL is exchanged for eMDBL at a 1:1 ratio, and it is actually eMDBL that is used to earn gold in the game.

Dragon Ball: It is a BRC-420 inscription issued by MOBOX, with 0 royalties, free casting, fair launch, and deflation mechanism. Now its market value has increased 4 times. Dragon Balls are the golden key to the Dragon Universe. Holding Dragon Balls can make liquidity mining more profitable. Burning Dragon Balls can hatch high-quality dragons and generate node benefits.

MODragon: MOBOX issued a set of NFTs on the Arbitrum chain. Holding MODragon can make liquidity mining more profitable, and it also has a unique buff bonus in the game.

MOSES: MOBOX plans to build the Bitcoin game L3 on Merlin to achieve after-tax income through nodes, private servers and other gameplay.

Understand the revenue model in one second

Abstract: MDBL fair launch → 1:1 exchange for eMDBL → Use eMDBL to mine tokens in the ecosystem → Use Dragon Ball/MODragon to add buffs → Exchange eMDBL back to MDBL, and you can freely choose different lock-up periods.

1. MDBL is definitely the core asset of Dragon Universe. Exchange MDBL into eMDBL, and you can use eMDBL to start your gold-making journey in Dragon Universe. Gold that is expected to be mined include: eMDBL, Merlin coins MERL, game tickets for parallel worlds, dragon eggs (which can hatch dragons), and more will be added in the future.

2. If you happen to have a Dragon Ball in your left hand and a Dragon in your right hand, you can mine more tokens than others and win at the starting line. At the same time, burning dragon balls can hatch high-level dragons, further accelerating the gold mining speed.

3. There are several ways to mine gold: participate in staking liquidity mining, play games to get rewards, become a creator and contribute game content, and become a MOSE node operator. This will be explained in detail below.

4. How to obtain MDBL? 69% fair launch, 31% is put in the game for you to mine. The team and investors have no share at all, they give it all to the community.

5. MDBL can be exchanged for eMDBL at a ratio of 1:1. There is a certain lock-up period for redeeming eMDBL into MDBL, but it provides a higher degree of freedom in the mechanism and is more user-friendly than traditional staking.

How to mine gold?

Let’s take a closer look at where gold can be found.

1. Liquidity Mining

Holding eMDBL to participate in liquidity mining enables you to mine eMDBL, external assets such as MERL, tradable parallel world game tickets, and dragon eggs that can hatch dragons.

2. Play Games & Earn Rewards

The Dragon Universe is divided into the main world and the parallel world.

The main world is the novice village you enter when you start the game. It supports rooms with multiple people online at the same time. There are castles, rivers, villages, and a sexy dragon lady wearing black stockings walking around. You can go on a City Walk in the overworld to trap Dragonite just like playing Pokémon.

Some corners of the main world map can be transferred to parallel worlds. Parallel worlds are actually game DLCs, with related levels, values ​​and respective in-game assets. You can earn tokens by improving the game ranking. Tickets are required to enter the parallel world to mine gold. Tickets can either be obtained by mining eMDBL or purchased on the market.

3. Creator Economy

To be honest, I didn’t plan to talk much about this. Many projects tend to overpromise and make the creator economy part of their whitepapers. However, surprisingly, Dragonverse did develop an editor that allows ordinary users to create games.

This game editor comes bundled with the Dragonverse game itself and is incredibly easy to use. It’s like building with blocks in Minecraft; you can create a small item or scene in five minutes using templates and then sell it on the market. Alternatively, if you’re really talented, you can create a playable game and release it without any permission. Then, you’ll receive a share of the ticket sales and in-game purchases. The game editor is now available for use, which is quite unexpected.

4. MOSE chain

MOSE is the third layer of games made by MOBOX for Merlin Chain. Not only Dragon Universe, but other Bitcoin games can also be built on MOSE. The third layer can improve performance, reduce Gas, and allow 3A games to run on the Bitcoin network.

When building a chain on a chain, there are naturally many ways to play:

1. Become a node: Holding eMDBL and Longzhu can unlock MOSE node operations and make money on your own.

2. Customized game private server. At that time, you will no longer have to play games, but will directly become a distributor and make your own money using other people’s games. This is very suitable for big players and KOLs with a certain appeal.

3. Bitcoin assets such as BRC-20, BRC-420, Bitmap, etc. can be used as production materials in MOSE. For example, the Blue Box community can create an exclusive parallel world on the MOSE chain, and then charge fees to share the income happily.

Summary: small and retail investors can become a node by holding eMDBL and Dragon Ball. It is highly recommended that large and popular investors and KOLs build a customized game private server and become a capitalist through the monetization of influence.

MDBL Issuance and Distribution

The maximum total supply of MDBL and eMDBL combined is 2.1 billion, which is fully allocated to the community, and the team and investors have no share.

Initially, 69% will be taken out for fair launch, and the remaining 31% remains to be mined in the ecosystem.

eMDBL will be released every day, and the amount released will be determined by the current supply of MDBL and eMDBL. Once the supply reaches a certain value, the daily release amount will be halved; if the current supply decreases below the value, the daily release amount will return to the pre-halving level.

Why is the current supply declining? Because MDBL is a deflationary mechanism, there is burnout in exchanges with eMDBL.

Current supply = released - burned. See the next section for detailed explanation.

MDBL/eMDBL redemption: immediate withdrawal or delayed gratification

This is the most important thing, because it involves withdrawing money and exit:

The one that can be used for gold is eMDBL. It takes a certain lock-up time to redeem it back to MDBL. You can also burn some eMBDL to redeem it immediately. The lock-up time can be customized. Compared with the traditional staking mechanism, the degree of freedom and openness is very high. Before the exchange is successful, you can cancel the lock-up at any time and get back all your eMDBL without any loss.

Asset Empowerment: Dragon Ball and MODragon

If MDBL is the golden shovel in the ecosystem, then Dragon Ball and MODragon are the golden keys. Add buffs throughout the entire game and L3 gameplay, and you can earn 999 with a single blow. For example:

1. Holding Dragon Ball and MODragon to increase the income of liquid mining enables you to mine more ecological coins of Dragon Universe and Merlin. These coins have new ways of earning interest in the Bitcoin ecosystem, achieving a closed loop.

2. Only those who hold Dragon Balls are eligible to become a node of the MOSE chain, or to build a customized private server. When MOBOX makes games, you count your money, obtaining after-tax income.

3. MODragon can have unique numerical bonuses in the game, thereby sharing more game revenue, while dragon balls can make dragon eggs hatch rarer dragons with better numerical values.

4. A series of exclusive limited experiences allow you to become the most handsome boy in multiplayer online games. For example, others can only walk on the ground, but you can fly…

Here are some perspectives, not necessarily accurate.

Finally, let me talk about why I think Dragonverse Neo will become the killer application for the finale of Merlin Ecosystem:

All in all, its full team structure + MDBL golden shovel + strict deflation + game L3 imagination space explosion

1. MOBOX has been making games since 2018. From Ethereum Legend to ChainZArena, all of them were hits at the time. It can only be said that people have made enough money, and there is no pressure to support the team. Some time ago, the market surged and 600 ETH was airdropped to the community. It should be the only project in my memory that directly sends real money in the bull market. So even if they want to make money, their actions should be relatively decent.

2. The team is relatively academic and is still spending money on product research and development, keeping up with new narratives. They are a rare team that has successfully crossed multiple bull and bear cycles and still remains true to their original intentions. Compared with projects from the same period, some collapsed, some ran away, and some performed poorly.

3. It cannot be denied that Bitcoin is mainly played by Chinese people now, but there are still many foreigners in the MOBOX community. These people have no idea about Bitcoin, but they will follow to play Dragonverse, MDBL, Dragon Ball, etc., so there won’t be internal fighting among community members.

4. No pretense, the gameplay is simple and easy to understand, and the whitepaper is written in plain language. MDBL also does not engage in flashy airdrops but directly distributes over half of it fairly. It’s very similar to Bitcoin.

5. MDBL can be said to be the golden shovel of Dragonverse and even the Merlin ecosystem. It can mine various ores, has flexible gameplay, can generate passive income, can gold farm, and can govern.

6. The way to lock the liquidity of MDBL does not adopt the common ve/staking mechanism but instead provides more flexible options. You can burn some eMBDL and leave immediately, or you can delay satisfaction for a higher exchange rate. You can also cancel the exchange at any time without any loss. It’s a full-scale approach.

7. Dragon Balls and MDBL are deflationary, and the project team has said that there will never be any increase in issuance in any sense. It is worth mentioning that Dragon Balls, as assets that are freely minted and do not charge any royalties, can serve as golden keys throughout the game and L3. This empowerment is quite significant.

8. Instead of playing games for gold, I recommend small and retail investors to try to become creators. Just stake a bit of the shovel, and you can open your own happy planet, where the income is also exclusive and almost endlessly profitable.

9. Finally, I am looking forward to the gameplay of the later nodes and private servers. Imagine every asset issuance and every transaction in the ecosystem sending you money, achieving passive income in advance… You should know that the valuation of the chain is absolutely much larger than that of individual games. Dragonverse is currently the only project in the Merlin ecosystem with the ability to develop a chain. The leading on-chain gaming company is entering the gaming L3, which is truly opening up the imagination space.
