21. Appendix
Glossary: This glossary provides clear definitions of essential terms used in the context of AI Pocalypse, ensuring all players, investors, and collaborators understand the concepts that drive the game.
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
Definition: A type of digital asset stored on a blockchain that represents ownership of a unique item or piece of content, such as in-game weapons, skins, or collectibles in AI Pocalypse. Unlike cryptocurrencies, NFTs are indivisible and cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis because each is unique.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: Players earn, trade, and own NFTs representing in-game assets, granting them true ownership and the ability to use, sell, or transfer these assets both inside and outside the game.
Layer 2
Definition: A scaling solution built on top of a base blockchain (Layer 1, such as Ethereum) to improve transaction speed and reduce costs. Layer 2 solutions like Immutable X utilize technologies such as zk-rollups to bundle multiple transactions into a single operation, reducing congestion and fees on the main blockchain.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: Immutable X powers the game’s NFT marketplace and transactions, providing gas-free, instant, and eco-friendly operations while maintaining Ethereum’s security.
AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Definition: A branch of computer science focused on creating systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. In AI Pocalypse, AI refers to both the in-game antagonist Agent APOCALYPSE and the real-world AI agent players interact with to solve challenges and progress in the storyline.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: The game’s AI provides immersive, adaptive interactions, allowing players to engage in real-time problem-solving and decision-making that influences the game’s narrative.
DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)
Definition: A blockchain-based governance system where decisions are made collectively by token holders, using transparent and automated smart contracts to execute rules and proposals.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: The game’s DAO allows players to vote on updates, expansions, and economic adjustments, giving the community control over the game’s future direction.
Tokenomics
Definition: The study and design of the economic system behind a cryptocurrency or token, focusing on its distribution, utility, and sustainability.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: Tokenomics govern the use of the game’s native token for transactions, upgrades, staking, and governance, ensuring a balanced and sustainable in-game economy.
zk-Rollups
Definition: A Layer 2 scaling technology that batches multiple blockchain transactions into a single operation, using zero-knowledge proofs to validate the data while maintaining the privacy and integrity of the original transactions.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: zk-rollups power Immutable X’s Layer 2 technology, enabling gas-free transactions and fast operations for the game’s NFTs and marketplace.
Immutable X
Definition: A Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum designed specifically for NFTs, providing gas-free, instant transactions while ensuring the security and decentralization of Ethereum.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: environmentally friendly operations.
Smart Contracts
Definition: Self-executing code stored on the blockchain that automatically enforces the terms of an agreement or transaction without the need for intermediaries.
Relevance in AI Pocalypse: Smart contracts manage minting, trading, staking, and governance operations, ensuring transparency, security, and automation.
This glossary serves as a quick reference for players and stakeholders to better understand the innovative technologies and systems driving AI Pocalypse.
