The game has two of its own BEP-20 tokens - THG (TheTanThetan Gem) and THC (TheTanThetan Coin). Like the game itself, they run on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain.
$THG is a functional utility token which will be used as the medium of exchange between participants on Thetan Arena in a decentralized manner. The goal of introducing $THG is to provide a convenient and secure mode of payment and settlement between participants who interact within the ecosystem on Thetan Arena, and it is not, and not intended to be, a medium of exchange accepted by the public (or a section of the public) as payment for goods or services or for the discharge of a debt; nor is it designed or intended to be used by any person as payment for any goods or services whatsoever that are not exclusively provided by the issuer. $THG does not in any way represent any shareholding, participation, right, title, or interest in the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates, or any other company, enterprise or undertaking, nor will $THG entitle token holders to any promise of fees, dividends, revenue, profits or investment returns, and are not intended to constitute securities in Singapore or any relevant jurisdiction. $THG may only be utilized on Thetan Arena, and ownership of $THG carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use $THG as a means to enable usage of and interaction within Thetan Arena.
Thetan Arena is an e-sport game based on Blockchain technology. You can gather your friends, form a team, battle with others and earn money with just your skills. When players join Thetan Arena for the first time, they will be given a free hero named Raidon at Level 1. Free heroes will not be sold on the marketplace. Heroes in other rarities can be unlocked from Thetan Box.
Heroes in Thetan Arena are categorized into 3 other groups according to their signature skills and statistics, including Tank, Assassin, and Marksman.
The Rarity of a hero is determined by 2 elements: the base rarity of that hero and the rarity of its skin. Heroes with a higher rarity have more unique playstyles, abilities and will have a chance to get bonuses in battle rewards.
There are 3 different levels of rarity:
• Common Hero
• Epic Hero
• Legendary Hero
Skin Rarity: Skin rarity is determined by the frequency of the skin in the selling pool. The rarer the cosmetic is, the better it looks like, with more visual effects and bonuses in battle rewards. There are 3 different levels of skin rarity:
• Default Skin
• Rare Skin
• Mythical Skin
TheTanThetan Gem is a native project token with different use cases:
In the game you earn and exchange TheTanThetan Coin. You can get them by participating in events, quests and in-game tournaments. When you complete quest tasks you get Quest Points. These are in-game points which are not tokens. Once you have collected enough of these points you can exchange them for THC.
The earned tokens can also be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or sold. You can also use TheTanThetan Coin to buy characters and various items in the game. All characters are NFT, which can be sold in the marketplace of the game.

The synthetic media, AI apps, and other digital assets utilize blockchain technology to generate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as a way of creating transparency, accountability, and long term governance.
The commercialization strategy for the applications built on top of Humans is based on a Software-as-a-Service model, enforced through a combination of sales and marketing channels. HUMANS comprises the following main applications:
AI Library: AI Developers have a new way to deploy and train their algorithms in a ready-to-sell environment where they can share their creations and collaboratively improve their models.
AI Training System: AI models may be optimized for specific data inputs. This may happen on a self/unsupervised basis, which requires no labels, or a supervised basis that requires labels. This training can be automated (~continuous integration-style) or configured manually (data+model) resulting in a trained model taking the form of a binary file.
Digital Genome: Anyone can create their own unique digital genome for use with their own creations and others. These genomes are owned by their creators and may earn their owners compensation as they are used in the production of synthetic media assets. Requests for use will be submitted for approval by the creator or their designated agents.
Apps: Apps are a combination of AIs that generate valuable outputs on request. Each request made to an app is sent to each of its components, which in turn share any proceeds respectively. Due to technical limitations, there may be a limited number of slots available for high-performing apps on the platform. Apps may be built based on the framework available in Humans Studio either from scratch, built to serve a specific use case, or from a recipe made available in the Humans Studio. Users will have the ability to deploy apps at scale in the Humans decentralized ecosystem and to access a host of decentralized services provided by other members of the community. In order to go live with an app and make it available more broadly in the system, users will be required to stake $HEART tokens.
Humans Studio: Individuals and app builders access the AI Library and bring their ideas to life by utilizing any number of AI models and genomes. Any number of combinations of neural networks for sentiment analysis, text to voice, text to video, voice to video, language translation and data analysis will all be able to work together and be saved as apps.

$HEART: The centerpiece of the Humans ecosystem
As the native token of the Humans ecosystem, the $HEART token empowers anybody to participate in the governance of the platform and facilitates key flows of value within it. All fees charged by the Humans platform will be paid in $HEART, even when payment originates in fiat or another accepted cryptocurrency.
One of the primary functions of $HEART is to facilitate staking. Staking $HEART is required to perform key functions within the Humans ecosystem, including minting NFTs, account validation, creating apps and adding AIs to the Humans Studio. Additionally, $HEART will serve as the default incentive as various stakeholders contribute key value to the ecosystem. These incentives include rewards for creating an AI developer uploading technology account and getting it validated, account validation (KYC), participating in governance and providing Proof-of-Human.
In Humans, NFTs are used for ownership of algorithms, genomes, data, AIs and apps. While the NFTs represent the ownership over the digital asset itself, the ERC20 tokens represent the rights to govern the NFT and the rights to any revenues it may generate. Importantly, these governance rights and rights to revenue may be represented by two separate ERC20 tokens, both linked to the original NFT. Governance-related tokens will be distributed across all the parties who (or whose data) contributed to the creation of an NFT. Revenue-related tokens may be distributed differently, as decided by the Governance token holders. Any revenues generated will be allocated proportionally according to the distribution of these tokens.

Blockchain games lack exquisite graphics and struggle with user retention.
Many games in the blockchain space are still very basic in terms of gameplay and graphics, thus failing to engage users over the long term. Moreover, demand for simulation-based games is increasing and has not been fully addressed in the crypto gaming market yet. Kawaii Islands boasts high-quality gameplay with countless ways for users to interact not only with the environment but also with other players. Kawaii Islands NFTs open up a flexible world for users to customize their experience within its engaging fantasy world.
Kawaii Islands has several mechanisms in place to generate sustainable revenue, such as in-game fees, NFT sales, and fees on marketplace transactions. The raised funds will be used for game development, marketing, advertising, market-making, and liquidity provision over the next 12 to 18 months.
Although there are a few competitors in the farming simulation genre such as CropBytes and Townstar, Kawaii Islands stands out through its unique anime style and gameplay. Kawaii Islands benefits from a loyal fan base that has already formed before its move to blockchain gaming and gave it a head start. Its future goal is to build a metaverse that will not stop as a singular NFT play-to-earn game, but that will connect high-quality games in the anime metaverse, where anyone can play, connect, create and earn in the process.
Raised $2.4M in private rounds.
MapleBlock and Signum are the lead investors, while other notable investors include: Hyperchain, DFG, Jsquare, AU21, X21, Kyros, Rikkei Capital, SkyVision Capital, Chainboost, M6, Master Venture, and Polygon.
The $KWT token is used as a utility token to pay for in-game fees and accrues shared protocol revenue. Token holders get rewards in $KWT for yield farming activities, liquidity provision, and staking. Players also can earn by delivering in-game orders or staying in the top 100 leaderboard and need to spend $KWT to craft or buy items. Additionally, through the governance process, holders can vote on changes in game policies.
Decentralized all-in-one financial application platform
PolkaBridge's products:
Suterusu invented a trustless and universal layer-2 privacy-protection protocol - Suter Shield delinks the sender and receiver address, and give you full protection for your transaction data via advanced cryptography.
Private Payment Infrastructure for Cryptocurrency
In the near future, Suterusu is about to launch an API that would allow a user to convert ETH and any ERC-20 token to its anonymized counterparts in the Suterusu protocol and then run the Suterusu transfer functionality to hide the transfer account identity and transferred amount. This API in combination with the Suter bridge will further allow the user to protect the payment anonymity and confidentiality on other blockchain networks. The following are the main functionalities and APIs the new Suterusu protocol will provide:
Fund contract allows the sender to create a Suter account and then create a transaction to run the Fund smart contract to convert ETH or ERC-20 token to its anonymized counterpart in the Suterusu protocol such as s-ETH or s-ERC-20 token, which would be homomorphically added to the newly created Suter account. The original ETH or ERC-20 token will be stored in the Fund contract. The user can access this contract by running CreateAddress and CreateFundTx algorithms on the client-side. The CreateFundTx algorithm takes the newly created Suter account pk and the amount of the native token amt as input. After invoking the Fund contract, amt amounts of native tokens are converted into the equivalent amount of their Suter-counterpart and transferred to the Suter account pk. Once the native token is converted to s-ETH and s-ERC-20 token, the users hold the ticket to enter the dark ballroom of the Suterusu ecosystem.
Transfer contract protects the payment privacy of the s-ETH or s-ERC-20 token by running the ZK-ConSNARK scheme as the sub-routine. It will guarantee the anonymity of the transaction sender and receiver by hiding their identities among other users of the system while protecting the transferred amount through encryption. This contract is the key technology to protect the payment privacy of any smart contract platform that integrates the Suterusu protocol. The sender can initiate this contract by running the CreateTransferTx algorithm on the client-side. This algorithm takes the secret key of the sender’s Suter account and the public keys of both the sender and anonymity set and transaction amount amt to generate the zero-knowledge proof, which would serve as the input to the Transfer contract. After running the Transfer contract, the sender’s balance will be reduced by amt while the receiver’s balance will be increased by amt.
Burn contract allows the users to convert their s-ETH or s-ERC-20 token into the native ETH or ERC-20 token at any time the users choose to. The API provided to the user to run this algorithm is CreateBurnTx algorithm, which takes the secret key of the respective Suter account as the input.
Since the native token such as ETH or ERC-20 token will be stored in the respective Fund contract address and the locked amount would be completely transparent, it potentially opens the door to more sophisticated DeFi functionalities such as liquidity mining. The new protocol will also charge the users a fixed amount of fee whenever they invoke the Fund contract, and the user fee will be stored in a public address and later distributed to the Suter holders as an incentive to hold the Suter token. We will also map all the aforementioned functionalities to all the other blockchains supporting smart contracts by building bridges that connect the Suterusu protocol with these blockchains.
Remember Suterusu’s vision is to anonymize all the cryptocurrency in the world, and it is becoming a reality as the day goes by.
