Introduction
Welcome to the Duck Technical Whitepaper. This documentation outlines the mechanics, tokenomics, and vision behind the Duck Miner ecosystem.
Figure 1: The Duck Miner secure access portal.
Duck Miner is a next-generation "Play-to-Earn" (P2E) simulator built on the TON (The Open Network) ecosystem. Unlike traditional idle games, we prioritize finite resource management and strategic planning over mindless clicking.
You are viewing the documentation for Version 1.0 (Alpha). Mechanics are subject to change based on community feedback.
How to Start
Getting started with Duck Miner is quick and easy. Follow these simple steps:
Open the game through our Telegram bot or the official website. Access it with your Google or Telegram account.
Purchase the starter pack with GEMS to begin your journey; it's an excellent value and will enable duck mining.
Install GPUs to increase hash power, batteries to ensure longer uptime, and AI chips to obtain bonus multipliers. Access the gear icon to access the rig control panel and select the mining pool.
Your equipment mines automatically 24 hours a day as long as it has enough battery. Collect Duck, sell it, or develop a strategy to stay on top of the leagues and earn weekly rewards.
Items & Collectibles
Duck Miner features a rich variety of equipment across 5 rarity tiers.
Equipment Types
| Type | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
| đĨī¸ GPU | Provides Hash Rate for mining | Genesis 5 (333 h/s) |
| đ Battery | Powers your rig, extends uptime | Nuclear Battery (72h) |
| đ§ AI Chip | Multiplies hash rate by % | AI Genesis 5 (+5%) |
| đĻ Box | Contains random items | GPU Box, AI Box |
Rarity Tiers
Mystic items are the rarest and most powerful equipment in the game.
$DUCK Token
The $DUCK token is the main in-game currency, obtained through mining and used in all in-game activities.
10,000 DUCK = 1 USDT. The game will periodically repurchase tokens, with 10% of purchases made in the store going to the buyback pool. This ensures price stability and clear earning targets for players, as well as offering appreciation over time.
Token Uses
- Unlocking Platforms: New mining platforms cost DUCK.
- Upgrades: Upgrade items using DUCK as fuel.
- Store Purchases: P2P Marketplace and NFT integrated into Q2
- Auctions: Bid on store items with DUCK.
- Withdrawal: Sell DUCK to ranked players or to the game and withdraw USDT.
Token Flow
The DUCK spent in the game is partially burned, ensuring deflation over time.
Tokenomics
The economy utilizes a dual-token model to separate gameplay utility from premium value.
| Asset | Symbol | Type | Value Peg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duck Token | $DUCK |
Utility | 10,000 DUCK â 1 USDT |
| Duck Gem | $GEM
|
Premium | 50 GEMS â 1 USDT |
This fixed parity ensures that early players have a clear goal, while inflation is controlled via equipment degradation and crafting sinks.
Mining Hardware
Your mining power (Hash Rate) is determined by the quality of your equipment. We use an exponential rarity curve.
GPU Stats & Drop Rates
| Rarity | GPU Name | Hash Rate | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Genesis 1 | 1 h/s | 50% |
| Rare | Genesis 2 | 13 h/s | 38% |
| Epic | Genesis 3 | 40 h/s | 10% |
| Legendary | Genesis 4 | 140 h/s | 1.8% |
| Mystic | Genesis 5 | 333 h/s | 0.2% |
Shop & Boxes
Players can acquire new equipment and boxes through the Shop using DUCK or Gems.
To ensure a balanced economy, GPUs and Batteries cannot be bought directly. They are exclusively obtainable through Boxes or high-level Enhancement.
Box Types
| Box | Price | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| đĻ GPU Box | 600 Gems | Random GPU (Common â Mystic) |
| đ Charge Box | 400 Gems | Random Battery |
| đ§ AI Box | 400 Gems | Random AI Chip (Genesis 1-5) |
Live Auctions
The shop features a real-time Auction House where players can bid DUCK for rare and exclusive items.
- Bidding: Players place bids using DUCK. Each bid must be higher than the previous one.
- No Sniping: If a bid is placed in the last minute, the auction timer extends automatically.
- Winning: The highest bidder when the timer ends claims the item. Losers get their DUCK refunded immediately.
Enhancement System
Combine 4 identical items to evolve them into a higher level version with massively increased stats.
Higher levels have lower success rates. Failure means losing ALL input items!
Evolution Rates
| Level | Success Rate | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Lv0 â Lv1 | 90% | Rare quality |
| Lv1 â Lv2 | 75% | Epic quality |
| Lv2 â Lv3 | 50% | Legendary quality |
| Lv3 â Lv4 | 30% | Enhanced Legendary |
| Lv4 â Lv5 | 10% | Mystic quality |
Chip Evolution Limits
AI Chips have maximum levels based on their rarity:
- AI Genesis 1 (Common): Max Lv2
- AI Genesis 2 (Rare): Max Lv3
- AI Genesis 3 (Epic): Max Lv4
- AI Genesis 4-5 (Legendary/Mystic): Max Lv5
