*In this document you’ll find some useful and basic information about the MAD Metaverse game from the web 3.0 perspective, its core functions, what is available for you as a user, etc.*

# **Entities and namings**

* **MAD Metaverse** - the game, digital world where the Scientists and Cells live;
* **MAD Metascientist (or Scientist)** - the main NFT collectible token of the game, that is the entry point to the entire game, it can produce MAD Metacells, earn META tokens, and has great artistic value due to its unique and beatiful generated 3D animations and state of the art generated music (by award winning band destabilized);
* **MAD Metacell (or Metacell)** - very powerful cell that can produce META token, NanoCell NFTs and other types of in game items like enhancers in "The Lab" during its evolution;
* **MAD Nanocell (or Nanoсell)**- most basic NFT entity in MAD Metaverse with its own characteristics and module slots, as well as experience gaining mechanics that can be sold in "The Field" including its experience, therefore enhancing its value as it is used in game. They are used to perform battles against other players in a multiplayer setting;
* **The Lab** - the place where a user performs actions with his MAD Metacells, enhancers, tokens
	+ **The Petri Dish** - a container within The Lab where the evolution of his Metacells is happening;
* **$META** - in-game ERC-20 token that is used to buy enhancers, boosters, cells in The Field;
* **Enhancer** - an item that can be used to increase chance during evolution;
* **The Field** - game’s internal marketplace;
* **Mystery Box** - Container that stores 1 of 10 200 MAD Metascientist
* **MAD Metaverse’s dashboard**  - This is your “homepage”, where you can see all your assets and can go from there to other parts of the game.

## Entry condition

In order to start your journey to MAD Metaverse you can buy an NFT token from Opensea that we call “Mystery box”. Mystery box contains one of 10,200 Scientists. You will see yours as soon as you buy it and unwrap it in the MAD Metaverse dashboard\*.

* *MAD Metaverse’s dashboard consists of the most important and essential information. This is your “homepage”, where you can see all your assets and can go from there to other parts of the game.*

So, once you bought the Mystery Box which contains the MAD Scientist NFT, you will see it in your dashboard and there you will see what exact MAD Scientist you get. Once the Scientist is unwrapped, you can produce a Metacell by minting it directly from the dashboard. One Scientist  is able to produce **only 1** Metacell.
Consider Metacell as a “provider” to your MAD Metaverse world. When the Metacell is produced you will see it in the dashboard as well. At this point, you can start working with The Lab, where all the science happens.

## The process

Go to the lab for the first time and you’ll see your newly created Metacell available for evolution. By drag&dropping your cell into what we call The Petri Dish and doing the evolution you’ll receive the first outcome of your first evolution. Most likely you’ll see that your Metacell has changed a bit - it now has Stage, and “Time to the next evolution” timer.  Here’s how the evolution process works:

1. First evolution is a first step where you get the random properties of a Metacell (level and next time to evolution);
2. There is some different randomized things that are happening during the evolution:
	1. **95% probability -** you get a regular, or COMMON evolution - when your Metacell’s Stage is increased during the evolution and gets a higher Stage; There is 95% probability to this type of evolution;
	2. **5% probability -** Split, or SPLITTABLE type - when your Metacell could be split into:
		1. A NanoCell;
		2. An Enhancer;
		3. Some amount of MAD token (internal ERC-20 that you can use to buy stuff);
3. If you’ve got the COMMON type - there is another layer of probabilities that define to which level your Metacell will be upgraded:
	1. 70% - next Stage;
	2. 20% - next Stage +1
	3. 5% - next Stage +2
	4. 3% - next Stage +3
	5. 2% - next stage +4
4. If you’ve got SPLITTABLE type - there’s different probability rates for what you’ll get as an outcome of the split:
	1. 50% - A NanoCell;
	2. 40% - An Enhancer;
	3. 10% - Some amount of MAD token;
5. Once this is defined, randomisation mechanism defines the next time to evolution using the following probability rates:
	1. 70% - 1,728,000 Polygon blocks
	2. 20% - 1,00,000 Polygon blocks
	3. 5% - 600,000 Polygon blocks
	4. 3% - 200,000 Polygon blocks
	5. 2% - 86,400 Polygon blocks

When  all functions and parameters are set according to the randomization mechanism listed above - your cell is “evolved”. Be prepared for the next evolution to happen.

## Mutations

If you’re a holder of an external NFT(s) from one of the collections that MAD Metaverse collaborated with, you can use your token to produce some impressive results while evolving your Metacells\*.

* *Note that we don’t take your “external” token (e.g. Cryptopunk token) in any way. We just make a full snapshot of it with all its metadata. Then this metadata and token’s image might be used to produce some outcomes in The Lab. Note that this also might result in the appearance of a second token in your wallet.*

The results of such mutations might be different - it can result in increasing probabilities for splitting Metacells or creating more advanced NanoCells with higher skill levels and might be different for each collection. The results that every collection can produce is defined by “The Admin” and is shared with players.

While you’re waiting when the next evolution for your Metacell will happen,  you can play and participate in battles with your NanoCells. There they can improve their skills, you can upgrade them on your own, win battles. While all this happens you can trade more advanced game assets in The Field to get some profits, buy even more assets and continue playing in the next level.

Please make sure you aware that the game will be constantly changing and updating (e.g. Scientists will be able to learn different sciences, upgrade their “knowledge” and impact the results of evolution and attributes of produced NanoCells.
