1inch × Parts of Four Unicorn (“Celestial Machinery”)

1inch × Parts of Four (1P4) Unicorns is an alchemical NFT game system, synthesizable and mergeable, towards the construction of the Unicorn Guild. Holders of 1P4 Unicorns will form a DAO for the governance of the Guild.

The project will be comprised of three phases:

  • Phase 1 (Dec. 2021): Release 1P4 Unicorns on BinanceNFT.
  • Phase 2 (Feb. 2022): Launch the P4 Forge.
  • Phase 3 (TBD): Formation of the DAO.

Phase 1: Launch on BinanceNFT

1P4 Unicorns were released as a Mystery Box drop on BinanceNFT in December 2021 to be followed by four weeks on the secondary market. The principal rewards of the collection are special edition Unicorns, which will bear additional point values in the future ecosystem, i.e. The Forge, where early adopters will be highly rewarded for their collection efforts.

This drop is the inaugural mass minting of the Unicorns and the first opportunity to collect. We anticipate the Unicorns to be heavily undervalued on BinanceNFT due to the complication of conveying the end-game on their platform but this works towards the advantage of early collectors!

All snapshots are taken by BinanceNFT. Please ensure you are holding your Unicorns in your account to be included in the snapshot.

After the 4 weeks of events on BinanceNFT (ending January 10, 23:59:59 GMT/UTC) we will begin the transition into our game system which is overviewed below.

Phase 2: The Forge

Parts of Four will launch The Forge in February 2022. This dApp will be the locus of NFT alchemy, where NFTs will be merged and all forms of minting will take place.

In order for Unicorns to enter The Forge, they must be (a) removed from BinanceNFT, (b) stored on a wallet such as Metamask or Trust, and © be re-minted with our smart contract. Once re-minted, your Unicorns will be mergeable.

Depending on the level of Unicorns, they may either be merged with other Unicorns or with other objects. The initial two types of purchasable objects will be Elemental Orbs and Deconstruction Runes.

Elemental Orbs v0.2.0

Why synthesize Unicorn compounds and isotopes?

The true utility of the Unicorns is as a point system in the Unicorn Guild DAO (see Phase 3 below.) Each Unicorn has a point value based on rarity, the complexity of synthesis, and/or attributes accomplished through the collection of items. The sum value of the member’s Unicorns will be used to determine the weight of your vote in the DAO.

Examples of basic processes.

Merging: Any Unicorn can be merged with an Orb and/or other objects (to be defined) to create new Unicorns. Each one of these merge processes will burn the input NFTs and return a new NFT. At any point, you can merge with a Deconstruction Rune and which will burn your “creation” and the Rune and return you back your original parts (e.g. your Unicorn and Orb as individual NFTs). The fluid building and unbuild process allows for infinite fluidity in decision making and has a sweet deflationary element to it as well. This extreme minting is possible because of the very low gas fees on BSC, so we are taking maximum advantage of that.

Merge Type A: Level 1 and 2 only

Fusion (Isotopes): Level 1 and 2 Unicorns can be merged into Isotopes of U₃, U₆, U₉, U₁₈, U₃₆, and U₇₂ intensities. The strength of isotopes is determined by the sum of its Unicorns, where Level 1 is valued at 1U and level 2 is valued at 2U.

For example:

  • Value of 3 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₃
  • Value of 6 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₆
  • Value of 9 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₉
  • Value of 18 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₁₈
  • Value of 36 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₃₆
  • Value of 72 for any Level 1 or 2 combination = U₇₂

This action heavily reduces the supply of total Unicorns, increasing scarcity.

Merge Type B: Level 3–7 only

Phase 3: Formation of the DAO

The Unicorn Guild DAO

The Unicorn Guild will be a DAO formed entirely of Unicorn holders and will vote on the direction of the game, implementation of new conditional rules, development of mechanics, and other aspects of the 1P4 Unicorn game. This will be defined in a whitepaper and will be public before launch of the P4 Forge.

Additional rules

There is a huge game space for time-based rules, riddles, and scavenger hunts. The DAO will have votes on the implementation of these rules.

Here is just a cute example of the type of rules we mean:

  • “The Moon Stone Orb can only be obtained during a total solar eclipse.”
  • “Only during the lunar eclipse can the Moon Stone Orb and the Rainbow Unicorn be merged into the Moonlight Rainicorn.”

OK! That is it for now, more soon, and thank you for your presence!!
