A Blockchain Based Virtual World
Introduction
Lepasa is a mythological virtual life conceptualised by team of artists and engineered by blockchain enthusiasts. The vision is to establish an ecosystem that allows users to create, experience, and monetise their content and applications. Every piece of creativity in Lepasa is an NFT token (ERC-721) and always owned by its holders on ethereum blockchain , giving them full control over wherever and whatever they want to use it for. Creature is a non-fungible, transferrable, scarce digital asset stored in the Ethereum smart contract. Recent times have gathered huge interest of people in virtual worlds, for both leisure and experience. Unlike other virtual properties, Lepasa is not controlled by a centralised organisation. There is no single authority with the power to modify the rules of the software, contents, economics of the tokens, or prevent others from accessing it. This document explains the ideology, technical establishments, and economics of Lepasa.
Vision
Lepasa's vision, is to create a mythological world that houses the beautiful legends. Which will offer a social experience with an economy driven by subsoil and ownership of unique creatures, with content distribution. Developers will be able to build apps on top of Freelance, distribute them to users, and monetize them.
In the future the project may have the possibility to implement peer-to-peer communication, script systems for interactive content, and cryptocurrency payment systems for transactions in the world. Communication layer for social experience, providing positioning, posture, voice chat, and more; This can be achieved with a P2P network. A script system is a tool that landowners can use to describe the behavior and interactions of 3D objects, sounds, and applications running on land blocks.
The planned zones and their above-ground development capabilities will make the Lepasa land blocks unique. Each block of land will be assigned a unique address with the specific characteristics of the area. This will help with the spatial discovery of new content and the creation of custom themes. Blocks in Lepasa have a fixed amount of proximity. In addition, the contents of adjacent blocks can be seen from a distance. For content creators, zoning provides access to targeted traffic; for end users, it allows discovery of themed experiences. Users can travel through the environment and interact with the applications they find. Developers can acquire users by buying land in high-interest areas. This will allow a secondary market to develop around land ownership and leasing, as has happened with other cyber projects.
Use Case
Apps & Games
The scripting language will allow to develop applications, games, gambling, and dynamic 3D scenes and to handle a wide range of capabilities, including creating objects, loading textures, handling physics, encoding user interactions, sound, payments, and external calls, among others.
Advertising
Brands can advertise using billboards near, or on, high-interest land blocks to promote their products, services and events. Some environments may be virtual versions of locations that stand out to advertisers due to high user interest. In addition, brands can showcase products, services and create shared experiences to engage with their audience.
Digital Collection (NFT)
We expect users to publish, distribute and collect rare digital assets issued by Lepasa and other blockchain projects by their creators. As is the case today in other virtual worlds or via online forums, these digital assets will be traded in this world via a scripting system and supported by the above-mentioned naming system.
Socialize
Groups currently congregating in online forums, chat groups, or even other centralized multiplayer games can move their community to Freelancing. Offline communities can also find on Lepasa space to gather and interact. For example Facebook has a large number of users from all over the world and gives them the ability to create groups, apps and sub platforms, where they interact for their own purposes. Similarly in Freelancing users should have better opportunities to explore.
Tourist
Virtual Tourism is something that has a strong future. When artists around the world can inhabit their imaginations on the Lapasa platform, it brings the possibility even for school students and researchers to visit Lepasa for study, training and adventure.
Electronic commerce
Online shopping on website and mobile is very well established to the core of every corner around the world, It is likely that the large number of freelancers can inspire global sellers to sell real goods to users through their virtual store on the platform. Other virtual world games have witnessed this.
Technology & Architecture -
The proposed protocol has 3 divisions.
Registry Layer - This layer records permanent data of land owners and their content.
Content Layer - Here it brings assets built on top of the land block using decentralised systems.
P2P Layer - Facilitates developer’s, land owner’s users to interact with each other with various channels like text & voice chat.
Land ownership is recorded at the registry layer, where land content is referenced through a hash of the file’s content. From this reference the information can be downloaded from IPFS. The downloaded file contains a description of objects, textures, sounds, and other elements needed to render the particular scene. It also contains the URL of a rendezvous server to coordinate connections between P2P users that are exploring the tile simultaneously.
Registry Layer
Ethereum smart contract (ERC-721) to maintain a ledger of ownership records for land blocks. These non-fungible digital assets can be called as LAND: each LAND has unique (Direction, Zone#,Land#,) coordinates, an owner, and a reference to the content description file, which encodes what the landowner wants to serve there. Lepasa clients will connect to the Ethereum network to fetch updates to the state of the LAND smart contract. LAND is claimed by LEPA, a fungible ERC-20 token of fixed supply. And every swap burns LEPA to create scarcity of the token. This token serves as a proxy for the cost of claiming a new land block.
Content Layer
Lepasa uses a decentralized storage system to distribute the content needed to create the scene. For each block that needs to be rendered, a reference to a file with a description of the block content is retrieved from the smart contract meta data. Starting today the Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS) which provides a mature solution to the requirements, will be deployed. This decentralized distribution system allows projects to work without the need for a centralized server infrastructure. This allows the world to exist as long as it has contributors distributing content, shifting the costs of running the system to the same actors who benefit from it.
However, hosting these files and the bandwidth required to serve this content has a cost. More quickly, these infrastructure costs can be covered by the use of protocols such as Filecoin. Until this technology matures. LEPA sales will cover these costs during the period.
P2P layer
Peer-to-peer connections are needed to provide interaction between users, as well as the programs that landowners want to run within the block. To coordinate bootstrap peer-to-peer connections, landowners must provide a meeting server.
The maintenance of these servers can be incentivized in the same way as content servers. When a lightweight protocol like STUN13 can cover the required functionality from the server, the cost will be quite low. The user's social experience on Freelance will include avatars, positioning of other users, voice chat, messaging, and interaction with the virtual environment. The various protocols used to coordinate these features can work on top of existing P2P solutions such as Federated VoIP or WebRTC.
