Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by Conway in 1970. Its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. More importantly, these four rules are Turing complete, which provides a foundation for constructing on-chain AI agents.
In Cellula, the rules of Conway's Game of Life are considered the genetic code of onchain digital life. The block height functions as the "time" in the game, and as the block height increases, the genetic type of BitLife continuously evolves. The number of active cells represents the current Hashrate of BitLife.
However, the cycle of life always accompanies birth and death - when a BitLife loses its hashrate, it will die permanently on chain, making way for the birth of new BitLife. This is just like what we often say: "Life As It Could Be."
The Variable Rate Gradual Dutch Auction is a mechanism developed by Paradigm to facilitate efficient asset sales in illiquid markets. It adjusts prices dynamically—raising them when sales exceed expectations and lowering them when sales lag—allowing for token sales that closely adhere to a predetermined schedule.
The above mechanism can be intuitively explained through an example.
Consider a schedule aimed at selling 10 NFTs per day, starting at a price of 1 token each. By day 5, the goal was to sell 50 NFTs; however, due to high demand, 70 NFTs were sold, which was the target for day 7, putting the schedule two days ahead. In response, prices were raised using an exponential curve, increasing the price to 4 tokens per NFT to slow down sales.
By day 15, the target was to have sold 150 NFTs, but actual sales were only 120 NFTs, equivalent to the expected sales by day 12, placing the schedule three days behind. To address this, the price was adjusted downward, facilitating easier purchases for users.
In summary, VRGDAs enable the issuance of NFTs on almost any chosen schedule while ensuring that users can purchase them smoothly at any time. In Cellula, the VRGDAs is used to establish an open BitLife pricing market, where each user's purchasing behavior contributes to the fair market pricing of BitLife.
Analysoor is the first Fair Launch protocol on the Solana blockchain, employing a unique method to create and distribute NFTs and tokens. It provides users with a Fair Launch minting mechanism by using block hashes as a random number generator and selecting winners in each block.
In Analysoor's Fair Launch, users will no longer need to engage in frantic bidding by significantly increasing GAS fees as seen in other traditional minting models. Instead, each user's cost for participation in the minting is fixed, and each participation can be considered as purchasing a "block lottery ticket." Subsequently, the randomly generated hash value of that block serves as the basis for determining which transaction (lottery ticket) within the block becomes the winning transaction (winner).
The first digit in the block hash value serves as the lottery number, while the parity of the combination of digits in the hash value determines the counting order (in most cases, each block's hash value contains at least one digit). Thus, the logic for determining the winner can be divided into two scenarios; here are examples of both scenarios.
The core value of the Analysoor algorithm lies in addressing the issues of fair distribution and liquidity allocation guidance during the asset distribution process. By utilizing the Fair Launch, it effectively filters out bots and "scientists", creating a completely fair, transparent, and more accessible platform with an enhanced user experience for genuine participants.
By integrating the Analysoor algorithm with the Virtual Proof of Work (vPoW) mechanism, it achieves a combination of fair distribution of new assets and continuous liquidity allocation guidance. Users can participate in the fair launch of new assets through initiating frequent, small BitLife charging transactions:
Each time users initiate these small, frequent BitLife charging transactions, they can be considered as purchasing a "block lottery ticket" for the new asset Fair Launch. Subsequently, based on the rules of the Analysoor algorithm, it is determined which charging transaction within the block becomes the winning transaction, thus receiving the newly issued assets.
The minimum charging time for transactions is five minutes, meaning users can purchase "block lottery tickets" at a very low participation cost, gaining the opportunity to acquire newly issued assets. The method of increasing costs to suppress other participants through financial power is not applicable in the Fair Launch model of Analysoor. Participants do not need to worry about the size of their capital affecting the fairness of the distribution outcome, providing an equal starting line for retail participants and large whales alike.
In the Fair Launch process of new assets, all transaction fees generated by users participating in the lottery transactions are used to inject initial liquidity into the newly issued assets. This method successfully prevents liquidity from leaving the ecosystem, and the generated returns attract users, nourishing the ecosystem protocol and forming a positive cycle.
By combining the Analysoor algorithm with the Virtual Proof of Work mechanism, all BitLife charging transactions initiated by users not only serve as "block lottery tickets" for acquiring newly issued assets but also definitively earn $CELA token rewards within the vPoW mechanism, providing sustained liquidity allocation guidance for the fair distribution of new assets.
