Quarkduck is a revolutionary NFT project designed to infuse creativity and technology, bringing new vitality and color to the Quark token and Atomicals protocol. Originating from the Quark community's inspiration, Quarkduck has become a unique emblem with its lively and adorable duck mascot, not only because of the phonetic coincidence between "Quark" and the duck's "Quack" but also because of the profound significance the project itself carries.

As a 10K NFT collection issued on the Atomicals protocol, Quarkduck's launch aims not only to increase the visibility of the Quark token but also to engage more people with the Atomicals protocol. By combining airdrop whitelist free minting and paid minting using Quark tokens, Quarkduck ensures a fair and open initiation process, allowing every participant an opportunity to become part of this ecosystem.

Owning a Quarkduck NFT means possessing a unique digital asset and entering a world full of innovation and opportunities. Holders can accumulate Quarkduck Points through mining, which in the future will provide them with the chance to receive airdrops of new tokens, further deepening their involvement in the Quark and Atomicals ecosystems.

"**Color Quark, Color Atomicals**," as the core philosophy of the Quarkduck project, is more than just a slogan. It symbolizes the commitment to bring energy and diversity to technology and communities. Quarkduck is dedicated to "adding color" to the Quark and Atomicals protocols by encouraging community participation, innovative collaborations, and educational activities, ensuring these technologies are not only more widely recognized but also understood, applied, and valued.

Joining Quarkduck means not just collecting an artwork but participating in an innovative journey with endless possibilities. It's an opportunity for exploration, creation, and value enhancement, where everyone can find their place in this colorful world.

Quarkduck NFT: A Peer-to-Peer AFT Allocation System

<figure><img src="/files/t9CAu1l5xOdWgJ9Cfhj0" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Introducing the pioneering NFT miner for AVM Fungible Tokens (AFT) on the Atomicals Protocol. Should you choose to partake in this innovative venture, we urge you to familiarize yourself meticulously with the rules outlined below.

Overview:

The emergence of AVM marks a pivotal shift in the Bitcoin ecosystem, ushering in an unprecedented era. To facilitate this transition, we have earmarked 10,000 Quarkduck NFTs as the vanguards of AFT distribution within the Atomicals community. The primary aim is to commence the allocation of AFT points prior to the finalization of AVM's development, ensuring a seamless automatic distribution upon its official launch.

Game Mechanics:

1. A finite collection of 10,000 Quarkduck NFTs exists, each serving dual roles as a Profile Picture (PFP) and an NFT miner.
2. Distribution of Quarkduck NFTs to the Atomicals community members will be executed via Dmint.
3. The designation for AFT, tentatively dubbed "Quarkduck Points," is pending finalization. A grand total of 210 billion tokens will be up for grabs. Quarkduck NFTs will mine statistical points across 10,000 blocks, with token allocation proportionate to the accrued points.
4. Mining commences from the inception of each Quarkduck NFT. Concurrent with the generation of each Bitcoin block, Quarkduck Points will be awarded to Quarkduck NFT holders, ceasing after 10,000 blocks.
5. The accumulation of Quarkduck Points is progressive—the greater the number of Quarkduck NFTs one possesses, the larger the reward. There are no restrictions on the quantity of Quarkduck NFTs a single address can hold.
6. Quarkduck Points distribution will manifest in four variants: flat, incentive-based, random, and boosted.

Quarkduck Points Allocation & Distribution:

1. Flat: Each Quarkduck NFT garners a uniform reward of 10,000 Quarkduck Points per block.
2. Incentive: ●Early Bird Incentives: Early participants will benefit from a multiplier boost to their Quarkduck Points, ranging from 2x to 8x. The multiplier begins at 8x and diminishes by one with each incentive cycle (equivalent to 144 blocks), bottoming out at 2x. For instance, the initial cycle post-mint will yield 8x10,000 Quarkduck Points per block, with subsequent cycles decreasing sequentially until the seventh cycle concludes.

●Diamond Hand Incentives: In the concluding phases of point mining, there are 14 incentive cycles, beginning with a 1.5 times multiplier and escalating by 0.5 times each cycle until reaching an 8 times multiplier. For instance, during the final cycle (mining blocks 9856 to 10000), each block will yield 80,000 Quarkduck Points. The cycle immediately before this (mining blocks 9711 to 9855) will produce 75,000 Quarkduck Points per block, continuing in this manner down to the fourteenth cycle from the end.

3. Random: Random rewards hinge on two factors: the attributes of your Quarkduck and the block hash value. If your Quarkduck's lucky number aligns with the block's lucky value, it mines an additional 160,000 Quarkduck Points in that block.

* **Block Lucky Number: Calculated as the last four hexadecimal digits of the block hash converted to decimal, modulo 21.**
* **Quarkduck series, subject to data queried on the official website.**

# FAQs

1. **Quarkduck Mint Plan Details:** The total supply of Quarkduck NFTs is 10K, with 9400 available for public minting. The founding team reserves 500, of which 100 are donated to the Atomicals Protocol team. The mint will occur in two phases.
   * Phase 1: Whitelist and airdrop address list minting
     * Quantity: 7000
     * Start Time: Block height of DMint start \~ DMint block height + 144 blocks (24 hours)
     * Cost: Free (only requires Bitcoin network fees)
     * Users on the address list need to obtain a JSON file from the official website after the mint starts and complete minting within 144 blocks. Whitelist addresses are locked in advance (meaning whitelist addresses can obtain an NFT by completing mint within 144 blocks), while airdrop addresses are first-come-first-serve (if the number of airdrop addresses exceeds the quantity of Quarkducks, players who mint first can obtain an NFT). The JSON file will be bound to an address upon retrieval, making it unavailable to other users. However, if you do not complete minting within 144 blocks, the file will be released.
   * Phase 2: Public minting phase
     * Quantity: 2400
     * Start Time: After the end of Phase 1
     * Cost: 555 Quark + Bitcoin network fees
     * After Phase 1 ends, all Quarkduck NFTs not minted in the first phase will be available for minting, with an additional 2400 Quarkduck NFT JSON files released to the public.
2. **How to join the whitelist and airdrop address list?**
   * Participate in whitelist lotteries via Twitter KOLs or community activities.
   * Join the official Twitter airdrop for quality content creators. DM the official Quarkduck Twitter with your bc1p address.
3. **How to check if your address is on the whitelist or airdrop list?**
   * Quarkduck's official website has launched a whitelist check feature. Visit <https://quarkduck.com/verifier> to see if your address is listed.
4. **If my address is on the list, will I receive the airdrop directly in my wallet?**
   * No, you need to participate in DMint to obtain the NFT. Visit the DMint tutorial page for guidance.
5. **Must I use the listed address to participate in Mint?**
   * No, addresses on the whitelist and airdrop list during Phase 1 are only for downloading the corresponding Quarkduck JSON file. After downloading, you can use any bc1p address for minting.
6. **If my address is on the list, is minting guaranteed?**
   * Not guaranteed. If your whitelist is obtained through a lottery or quality content creator program, you have 144 blocks to complete minting. If your address is part of the airdrop list, you need to download the JSON file from the official website and complete minting on a first-come-first-serve basis (successful download means temporarily exclusive access to that file).
7. **Can I still mint if my address is not on the list?**
   * Yes, there are two possibilities:
     * If the 7000 slots in Phase 1 are not fully minted, you can mint the remaining part for free.
     * In Phase 2, 2400 Quarkducks are available for minting, but you need to prepare 555 Quarks in advance to participate. Visit the DMint tutorial page for guidance.
8. **Preparation for public minting users:**
   * Install the Wizz wallet plugin.
   * Purchase at least 555 Quarks (available on Atomicals Market / Bitatom).
   * Prepare some BTC for gas fees.
9. **Preparation for whitelist and airdrop list minting:**
   * Install the Wizz wallet plugin.
   * Prepare some BTC for gas fees.
10. **When will Quarkduck start minting?**
    * Minting is expected to start on March 18, but the exact time will be announced officially. Follow the official Twitter and community messages for updates.

**Additional Information:**

* If everything goes smoothly, Quarkduck will open for minting and JSON file download on March 18. (The JSON file contains image data)
* The Wizz Wallet team is developing a dedicated minting page to ensure service stability and prevent downtime and JSON file leaks.
* PoW functionality requires the use of the Wizz plugin wallet.
* On the minting page, you can use Wizz Wallet/OKX/Unisat wallets for login and authentication, obtain a JSON file, and directly jump to the minting page without the need to download and upload the JSON file separately.
* If you prefer not to mix wallet addresses, you can authenticate and download the JSON file first, then use another address's Wizz wallet to upload the JSON file before minting.
* The Cloud Mining service from Wizz.cash allows participation in minting from mobile phones (use the OKX app, go to the discovery tab, enter the mint page URL, and select the Cloud Mining button). Note: Cloud Mining may incur a small service fee.
* JSON file distribution is random and based on a first-come-first-served rule. If you are on the whitelist but not in front of a computer, you can first get the JSON file via mobile, then mint from a computer within approximately 24 hours.
* If you have obtained the JSON file and it hasn't been leaked, you have 144 blocks to mint (about 24 hours).
* If you're not on the whitelist but wish to mint, you can prepare some Quark in advance and participate in the public minting phase.
* Whitelist check address: <https://quarkduck.com/verifier>

<figure><img src="/files/Qlc0QhEahbWjroVPtNLH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Additional Mint Rules:

1. When Minting 0-599 and 7600-9999 Quarkduck NFTs, the first payment is for Gas fees to determine payment priority, and the second payment of 555 Quark is the actual payment.
2. When multiple addresses Mint the same NFT in the same block, the priority of Quark payments for that NFT is determined by the first BTC payment for Gas. For example, if addresses A, B, and C Mint NFT 8888 in block 834100, and A pays 39 sat/vB for Gas, B pays 45 sat/vB, and C pays 35 sat/vB, then address B has priority for NFT 8888.
3. After block 834100, the address with payment priority (B in this case) can make priority payments in the following 5 blocks. If address B successfully pays 555 Quark during these 5 blocks and the block confirms, NFT 8888 belongs to address B. Payments of 555 Quark from lower priority addresses in blocks 834101-834105 are invalid, and these Quarks are paid to the receiving address of NFT 8888.
4. If address B does not complete the payment of 555 Quark in the following 5 blocks, other addresses that paid Gas with BTC can compete with address B for NFT in the 6th block, i.e., block 834106. The address that completes the payment of 555 Quark first in this case owns NFT 8888.
5. If address B obtains payment priority for NFT in block 834100 and does not complete the payment of 555 Quark in the following 15 blocks (must be confirmed), it is considered to abandon the NFT. No Quark payments can be made in the 16th block.


# Game Mechanics

The emergence of AVM marks a pivotal shift in the Bitcoin ecosystem, ushering in an unprecedented era. To facilitate this transition, we have earmarked 10,000 Quarkduck NFTs as the vanguards of AFT distribution within the Atomicals community. The primary aim is to commence the allocation of AFT points prior to the finalization of AVM's development, ensuring a seamless automatic distribution upon its official launch.

<figure><img src="/files/lcRLX6ZbEq3m65vPK0hW" alt="" width="340"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Game Mechanics:

1\. A finite collection of 10,000 Quarkduck NFTs exists, each serving dual roles as a Profile Picture (PFP) and an NFT miner.

2\. Distribution of Quarkduck NFTs to the Atomicals community members will be executed via Dmint.

3\. The designation for AFT, tentatively dubbed "Quarkduck Points," is pending finalization. A grand total of 210 billion tokens will be up for grabs(Tentatively decided). Quarkduck NFTs will mine statistical points across 10,000 blocks, with token allocation proportionate to the accrued points.

4\. Mining commences from the inception of each Quarkduck NFT. Concurrent with the generation of each Bitcoin block, Quarkduck Points will be awarded to Quarkduck NFT holders, ceasing after 10,000 blocks.

5\. The accumulation of Quarkduck Points is progressive—the greater the number of Quarkduck NFTs one possesses, the larger the reward. There are no restrictions on the quantity of Quarkduck NFTs a single address can hold.

6\. Quarkduck Points distribution will manifest in four variants: flat, incentive-based, random, and boosted.


# Points Allocation

Quarkduck Points Allocation & Distribution:

1\. Flat: Each Quarkduck NFT garners a uniform reward of 10,000 Quarkduck Points per block.

2\. Incentive:

* Early Bird Incentives: Early participants will benefit from a multiplier boost to their Quarkduck Points, ranging from 2x to 8x. The multiplier begins at 8x and diminishes by one with each incentive cycle (equivalent to 144 blocks), bottoming out at 2x. For instance, the initial cycle post-mint will yield 8x10,000 Quarkduck Points per block, with subsequent cycles decreasing sequentially until the seventh cycle concludes.
* Diamond Hand Incentives: In the concluding phases of point mining, there are 14 incentive cycles, beginning with a 1.5 times multiplier and escalating by 0.5 times each cycle until reaching an 8 times multiplier. For instance, during the final cycle (mining blocks 9856 to 10000), each block will yield 80,000 Quarkduck Points. The cycle immediately before this (mining blocks 9711 to 9855) will produce 75,000 Quarkduck Points per block, continuing in this manner down to the fourteenth cycle from the end.

3\. Random: Random rewards hinge on two factors: the SERIES of your Quarkduck and the block hash value. If your Quarkduck's lucky number aligns with the block's lucky value, it mines an additional 160,000 Quarkduck Points in that block.

* **Block Lucky Number: Calculated as the last four hexadecimal digits of the block hash converted to decimal, modulo 21.**
* **Quarkduck series, subject to data queried on the official website.**

<figure><img src="/files/qL8XvOZ5xbtpPYHVif0i" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Background Story**

In ancient times, the Duck King's brilliance enveloped the entire world. His wisdom and power established a prosperous kingdom, the Kingdom of Glory. The civilization and technology of this kingdom reached unprecedented heights, with its people living in peace and happiness. However, all prosperity came to an abrupt halt when the Duck King inadvertently enraged the gods. In their wrath, the gods sank the entire kingdom underground, turning it to ashes and leaving only legends to circulate in the world.

Thousands of years later, in the bustle of modern society, a bustling city was suddenly shocked by an accident. The ground collapsed with a loud bang, revealing a mysterious underground entrance. Explorers, archaeologists, and curious citizens flocked to this entrance, hoping to glimpse the secrets beneath. According to legend, this was the entrance to the forgotten Kingdom of Glory.

However, it was soon discovered that not everyone could easily enter this underground city. Ancient magical barriers protected the kingdom's secrets, and only **the bravest Swordsmen, most learned Mages, and strongest Barbarians** forming an adventurers' squad could unlock the secrets of the barrier and venture deep into the dungeon. Yet, there's another legend that if the royal descendants of the Duck King could be found, their bloodline would possess special abilities, meeting all the requirements of the dungeon for adventurers.

Thus, an unprecedented adventure began. Adventurers searched everywhere for the royal descendants, hoping to use their bloodline power to unveil the mysteries of the Kingdom of Glory. Heroes from all over responded to the call, forming powerful teams ready to explore the dungeon.

In this adventure, the warriors would face unknown dangers, ancient curses, and possible endless treasures. They would traverse dark underground passages, explore forgotten palaces, and mysterious ruins. In this process, they would not only fight monsters in the dungeon but also solve ancient puzzles to find the path to the heart of the kingdom.

As the adventure deepened, they would gradually uncover the truth behind the sinking of the Duck King's kingdom and the secrets hidden behind the royal descendants. In this underground world filled with magic and miracles, every decision could change their fate, and every choice could lead them to glory or ruin.

This is the story of the dungeon adventure, filled with ancient legends, mysterious powers, and endless exploration. And it all begins with that mysterious entrance to the underground, and the legendary journey of a group of brave adventurers.

## **Adventurers' Squad Professions**

### Swordsmen&#x20;

Swordsmen excel in close combat, wielding sharp longswords and wearing flexible armor. On the battlefield, they are usually at the forefront, protecting their teammates with their exceptional swordsmanship and outstanding combat skills, inflicting lethal blows on the enemy.

### Mages&#x20;

Mages wield powerful magical forces, capable of inflicting ranged damage on enemies with various elemental spells or enhancing their teammates with beneficial magic. Although physically weaker, the presence of mages can significantly alter the course of battle. Their magic is key to overcoming obstacles and solving problems.

### Barbarians&#x20;

Barbarians are known for their strength and endurance, often equipped with heavy shields, serving as the team's Main Tank (MT). They can cause massive chaos and destruction on the battlefield while defending against fierce enemy attacks. Barbarians' combat style is direct and savage, drawing enemy attention to give their teammates opportunities to strike.

## Adventurers' Squad Formation

Any three adventurers of different professions can form a powerful adventurer squad, and only a complete adventurer squad can take on adventure missions, and each wallet address will ultimately only have one complete adventurer squad in effect. Each adventurer profession has seven different attributes: **light, water, dark, fire, earth, lightning, wind**.

Different attributes can affect and promote each other. Three adventurers with different attributes can form a specific formation, thus providing a combat power boost to the entire adventurers' squad.

**The formation attribute boost rules are as follows:**

The more connections between attributes, the greater the formation's power.

<figure><img src="/files/l45sL6nWloFSfy7uzakC" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**High-level Formation:** Three attributes connected two by two, forming a stable triangular structure, can exert five times the power of a Low-level Formation. Examples: 035, 056, 156, etc.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/mAYThSzvEkC3S9v6IFMb" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p><strong>High-level Formation</strong></p></figcaption></figure>

**Mid-level Formation:** One attribute connects to the other two, can exert three times the power of a Low-level Formation. Examples: 306, 456, 154, etc.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/kH3v2s4MRW3HlRI0JnBn" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p><strong>Mid-level Formation</strong></p></figcaption></figure>

**Low-level Formation:** Other formations besides **High-level** and **Mid-level** formations. Examples: 041, 236, 062, etc.

# Token Distribution

Holders of the Game of Ducks NFT will be eligible for airdrops of runes and AFT (ARC-20 of AVM) in the future. The snapshot will take place at a certain block after the Bitcoin halving, with the specific timing yet to be determined.

### Several points to note:

1. A single NFT cannot mine. It requires a combination of three different types of Ducks, and depending on their attributes, they have different weights. For details, please refer to: [adventurers-squad-formation](/god/game-of-ducks)
2. Future airdrops will not be tied to addresses but to NFT combinations. Moreover, only one combination per address will be effective.
3. The two types of tokens are shared with Quarkduck NFT, just in different proportions.
