Project Information

1. Project Description and Objectives
   The mission of Tendies.game is to build the Web3 gaming future based on UPA (User-Pricing-Asset). We aim to empower users with the rights to create, distribute, and price game assets by harnessing the power of AIGC and the MEME community. Through a Bonding Curve-based NFT creation launchpad and marketplace, Tendies is dedicated to enabling users to freely create and trade NFTs using MEME as a unit. With the Tendies matching protocol, Tendies strives to facilitate the seamless integration of game assets and game content. Tendies.game is committed to ensuring that most future games are collaboratively built by multiple players and artificial intelligence, accelerating the realization of a decentralized UPA future for gaming.

Tendies plans to release products and protocols in these three phases:

• Great Abundance of UPA: Achieve a significant increase in the availability and diversity of UPA through Tendies Protocol V1. This includes enabling the creation of original and derivative UPA for various games and assets, supported by AIGC tools and diverse bonding curves to ensure rich liquidity.
• Free Combination and Utility of Games and UPA: Through Tendies Protocol V2, realize the seamless combination of games and UPA, allowing users to freely use UPA across different games and chains. This is facilitated by Tendies Layer 0.5, which enables cross-chain compatibility without the need for complex cross-chain operations.
• Free Experience of UPA Games: Provide users with a free and fair web3 gaming experience. Users can create their first UPA and interact with games in a new way. For example, in self-developed games like the AI + 4X strategy game and AI + Simulation Management + Tower Defense game, users can engage with game characters and AI participants, training soldiers and upgrading resources.

2. Success Potential: - Explain why your project is likely to succeed (consider market demand，technical feasibility, and team capability)
   Market Demand

• MEME tokens and MEME derivative assets are the most ideal UPA. Over the past six months, the fastest-growing area in web3 has actually been MEME coins, far surpassing any other related field. However, despite such promising growth prospects, MEME coins still face some issues, including short cycles, lack of application scenarios, and lack of community incentives, which ultimately make trading increasingly boring. Coincidentally, gaming can also empower MEME in return, making MEME FUN again with gaming.
• The Web3 gaming industry is growing rapidly, projected to achieve a market size of $65.7B by 2027. There is a clear demand for new and innovative gaming models. Tendies Protocol addresses the limitations of traditional GameFi models by introducing the concept of User-Pricing-Asset (UPA). In the current market, users are seeking more control and participation in the gaming economy, and UPA allows them to create, price, and share in the revenues of game assets. The popularity of NFTs, with sales expected to reach $388.9B by 2027, indicates a growing interest in unique digital assets, which UPA can provide in the gaming context. Additionally, the forecasted significant role of NFT sales and secondary market transactions (60% in the Web3 gaming market) shows the potential for a successful model that focuses on asset creation and trading like Tendies Protocol.
  Technical Feasibility
• Tendies Protocol has a well-defined technical architecture. Tendies Protocol V1 provides UPA issuance and liquidity through features like AIGC tools for creating diverse UPA, multi-chain support (including Hashkey Chain), and bonding curves to ensure liquidity. This allows for the seamless creation and trading of UPAs. Tendies Protocol V2 enables the unauthorized matching of game projects and UPA, with Tendies Layer 0.5 acting as a new "chain" that ensures compatibility with mainstream chains. This allows users to use assets on different chains for gaming without complex cross-chain operations. The self-developed games also showcase the technical capabilities of the team, with features like AI integration in games (such as in the AI + 4X strategy game and AI + Simulation Management + Tower Defense game) where players can interact with AI participants and train characters. The protocol's ability to handle UPA creation, trading, and integration with games across multiple chains and platforms demonstrates its technical feasibility.
  Team Capability
• The team behind Tendies Protocol is highly experienced and complementary. Shawn Li, the CEO, is a Web3 game serial entrepreneur with a track record of founding and leading successful ventures like Xterio and AoD. He is also involved in the Meme ecosystem and has experience in the financial and gaming sectors. Jason Sun, the Producer, is a game expert with experience in both web2 and web3 games, having produced popular titles. Yi De, the CTO, is a full-stack engineer and serial entrepreneur with a background in founding companies and working on AI and blockchain technologies. Lucy Cheng, the Product Director, has experience in product development and marketing. She is also an AIGC picture model builder and has a strong background in gaming and communication. Sean Xu, the CSO, a passionate meme enthusiast and a value discoverer of MEME. Before working full-time on meme trading, he was the SVP of the US-listed company BTBT. The team members have known each other for many years, which indicates good communication and trust. Their combined experience in research and development, distribution of Web3 games, and knowledge of the industry make them well-equipped to execute the Tendies Protocol project successfully.
  In conclusion, the combination of a large and growing market demand, technically feasible solutions, and a highly capable team positions Tendies Protocol for a high likelihood of success in the Web3 gaming space.

3. Mission Alignment:- Describe how your project aligns with Hashkey's goals
   Enhancing Liquidity and Asset Utilization

• Tendies Protocol's focus on UPA issuance and liquidity through Tendies Protocol V1 aligns with the goals of public chains to have a vibrant and efficient asset trading environment. By ensuring that UPAs can be easily created and traded with rich liquidity (through features like diverse bonding curves and multi-chain support), it increases the overall activity and value within the public chain ecosystem. For example, the ability to create and trade UPAs of various games and assets on chains like Hashkey Chain promotes more transactions and utilization of the public chain's infrastructure.
  Fostering Cross-Chain Compatibility and Interoperability
• Tendies Protocol V2 with its Tendies Layer 0.5, which acts as a new "chain" enabling seamless cross-chain compatibility, directly aligns with the public chain goal of interoperability. Users can use assets from different chains in games without the need for complex cross-chain operations. This not only simplifies the user experience but also encourages more diverse participation and integration across multiple public chains. It allows for the free flow of assets and users between different chains, enhancing the overall connectivity and value of the public chain network.
  Driving User Adoption and Community Growth
• The project's go-to-market strategy of partnering with meme groups, artists, whales, and retailers to foster grassroots wealth creation and community engagement aligns with the public chain's objective of attracting and retaining a large user base. By creating a fun and rewarding experience for users through UPA creation and trading, and involving the community in the process, it increases the popularity and adoption of the public chain. The use of MEME elements to make the gaming experience more engaging and viral also helps in spreading awareness and attracting new users to the public chain ecosystem.
  Supporting Innovation in Gaming and Asset Creation
• The integration of AIGC in creating UPAs and the development of unique self-developed games with AI elements align with the public chain's mission of promoting innovation. Tendies Protocol is bringing new and creative ways of generating game assets and gameplay experiences. This not only adds value to the gaming sector within the public chain but also showcases the potential of the public chain's technology for novel applications. It encourages developers and users to explore and experiment with new forms of digital assets and gaming models, driving the evolution of the public chain's ecosystem.
  Contributing to the Decentralized Ecosystem
• The overall concept of Tendies Protocol, where users have more control over asset creation and pricing, and the vision of a future where games are co-created by multiple players and AI, is in line with the decentralized ethos of public chains. It reduces the dominance of centralized entities in the gaming and asset economy and promotes a more democratic and inclusive environment. This decentralization is a key goal of public chains, and Tendies Protocol is actively contributing to its realization by empowering users and enabling a more distributed and collaborative gaming ecosystem.

4. Innovation: - Highlight what makes your project unique or innovative
   User-Pricing-Asset (UPA) : The introduction of UPA is a revolutionary aspect of the Tendies Protocol. It allows individual players to create and price game assets, shifting the power from traditional game project parties. This means that players can have a direct say in the value and ownership of in-game assets, which is a significant departure from the norm in both Web2 and traditional Web3 gaming models. For example, players can create original UPA of meme coins or derivative UPA of existing Web2 and Web3 games, without the need for upfront costs or rushed purchasing decisions.
   Tendies Protocol V1 and V2:

• Tendies Protocol V1 focuses on UPA issuance and liquidity. It utilizes AIGC tools to enable the creation of diverse UPAs and employs bonding curves to ensure rich liquidity. This means that there will always be a market for UPAs, with the ability to buy and sell them easily. Creators can also choose the initial quantity of shares and curvature levels, providing flexibility and control.
• Tendies Protocol V2 enables the unauthorized matching of game projects and UPA. It features Tendies Layer 0.5, a new "chain" that allows seamless cross-chain compatibility. Users can use assets from different chains in various games without the need for complex cross-chain operations. This innovation simplifies the gaming experience and expands the possibilities for asset utilization across the Web3 gaming ecosystem.
  AIGC and MEME Integration: The incorporation of AIGC in creating game assets and MEME elements in the gaming experience is unique. AIGC allows for the generation of secondary UPA for existing games and the creation of new and diverse assets. MEME, on the other hand, is used to engage communities and make the gaming experience more viral, visual appealing, and interactive. This combination of AIGC and MEME not only attracts users but also creates a new form of gaming culture and economy.
  Self-Developed Games with AI: The self-developed games, such as the AI + 4X strategy game and AI + Simulation Management + Tower Defense game, showcase innovative gameplay. In these games, players can interact with AI participants in unique ways. For example, in the 4X strategy game, players can train individual soldiers in archery and have them teach others, while AI soldiers and allies can autonomously learn. This integration of AI into gameplay adds a new level of complexity and immersion, setting Tendies Protocol's games apart from traditional gaming offerings.
  Grassroots Wealth Creation and Community Engagement: The go-to-market strategy of fostering grassroots wealth creation through partnerships with meme groups, artists, whales, and retailers is innovative. By involving the community in the process of UPA creation and trading, and sharing the benefits with them, Tendies Protocol aims to build a strong and engaged user base. This community-driven approach is different from the top-down models often seen in the gaming industry and has the potential to create a sustainable and vibrant ecosystem.

Market Analysis

1. Competitors and Differentiation:
   Currently, there are very few services in the web3 industry similar to Tendies. In the web2 space, there are many secondary creation platforms that support users in making derivative works.

• Douyin/Tiktok is a significant secondary creation platform. Creators use it to transform materials. In film and TV, classic clips turn into catchy shorts with music and subtitles. Anime materials combine for unique videos. Creative dubbing and game commentary make things more interesting. Dance and performance works are also popular. With resources, tools and an audience, Douyin enables great secondary creations.
• BanCyuan is a creative community focusing on the second - dimension field, covering various creative forms such as drawing, writing, and cosplay. Users can publish their own second - dimension fan - works and original works here. They can also interact with other second - dimension enthusiasts. There are a variety of second - dimension - related topics and activities that promote exchanges and cooperation among creators.
• Coze is a new generation one-stop AI Bot development platform launched by ByteDance. It can be used to build a second creation workflow for Xiaohongshu, and it can extract note contents, rewrite texts, match pictures with texts, and publish contents, etc.
• Pixiv is a second - dimension creative platform mainly for illustrations and comics, gathering a large number of excellent domestic and foreign artists. Users can upload their own paintings, browse and collect others' works, and communicate with other creators through comments and private messages below the works. Its works have diverse styles and cover various second-dimensional themes.
  However, these secondary creations are made by users spontaneously or with the help of tools like AI, and we generally call them "UGC" (User Generated Content). What we define is UPA (User Pricing Assets).
  Unlike web2 productss, which is based on information and content for secondary creation, we are doing value-based secondary creation in the web3 space—that is, we use MEME tokens, based on value, to create gamified asset derivatives.
  In the web3 space, many competitors where the game project parties have control over the issuance and pricing of gaming assets, Tendies Protocol empowers individual players to create and price their own UPAs. This gives players a direct stake in the game economy and allows for a more democratic and user-driven asset creation process. For instance, players can create UPAs for meme coins or derivative UPAs for existing games, and they have the flexibility to set initial share quantities and curvature levels without upfront costs.

2. Current User Base and Estimation Method:
   The product has not yet officially launched. Our future estimated product scale is 50% of the total users of all meme token launchpads. We estimate that 50% of these users will want to use our product for further secondary creation. This user base will reach a scale of over 10 million.
