Dead Panda — Whitepaper (v1.0)

1. Introduction

Dead Panda started as a meme — but quickly evolved into a full ecosystem with three core elements: a token ($BONES), a real browser-based game, and a utility-enabled NFT collection.

Our goal is to create a fun, chaotic, and engaging experience that blends memecoin culture, real gameplay, and a deeply involved community.

2. The Ecosystem

Dead Panda's ecosystem calls The Boneyard. It stands on three chaotic legs:

• $BONES: the community token, used across various interactions in the ecosystem.
• The Game: a chaotic, sarcastic survival shooter played in-browser.
• The NFT Collection: 6,666 PFPs that offer in-game boosts and visual flair.

Each element stands on its own. You can:

• Be a $BONES trader/holder and never touch the game or NFTs
• Be a casual gamer who just wants to shoot monsters
• Be a collector who’s only into the art and rarity

It’s all up to you.

2.1. $BONES — The Token

$BONES is the native token of the Dead Panda ecosystem. It was launched via the Cults Launchpad and built on Meteora's bonding curve system, enabling instant liquidity and open participation.

Key Stats:

• Total supply: 1,000,000,000 $BONES
• 157,230,000 tokens held by the creator (including 5% reserved for the launch tournament)

Bonding Curve & Graduation Phase

• 70% of supply (700M) is available via bonding curve during pre-graduation
• Upon reaching 394 SOL market cap, the token “graduates”
• The remaining 30% (300M) + collected liquidity move to a public LP for open trading

Estimated Initial Distribution:

• 70% — Bonding Curve
• 15.7% — Creator (157M incl. 5% for rewards)
• 14.3% — To be allocated (LP, incentives, partnerships, etc.)

Utility of $BONES:

• Tournament entry fees
• Purchase of power-ups and loot boxes
• Trading items on the in-game marketplace
• Unlocking future exclusive content

Burn Policy: TBD

We’re still exploring options. Some ideas under consideration:

• Partial burn from loot box purchases
• Fixed % burn on marketplace transactions
• Occasional burn events tied to gameplay

Goal: control circulation without harming liquidity or the experience.

2.2. The Game — Dead Panda

Dead Panda is a fast-paced survival shooter built for browsers — chaotic, sarcastic, and dangerously addictive.

Core Features:

• Fully playable on desktop and mobile (no downloads)
• Level system with XP and scaling difficulty
• Global leaderboard (real-time updates)
• Loot box system with rarity chances
• Power-up shop using $BONES
• In-game consumables and attack effects
• Item marketplace powered by $BONES

Game Modes & Rewards:

• Tournaments with $BONES entry & prize pools
• Ranked bi-weekly seasons with top-player rewards
• Themed collab tournaments with custom content and burn mechanics

NFTs in the Game: NFTs work as optional gameplay modifiers:

• Passive boosts to stats (damage, evasion, XP, etc.)
• Power-ups tied to rarity
• Rare cosmetic effects (visuals, animation, audio)

Note: No NFT or token is required to play.

2.3. The NFT Collection

The Dead Panda NFT collection consists of 6,666 PFP characters built around the game’s universe and chaotic aesthetic. Each NFT provides unique identity and optional in-game advantages.

Collection Breakdown:

• Chain: Solana
• Price: TBA
• Mint Date: TBA
• 15 Legendary (animated) — Start every run with any power-up of choice
• Remaining NFTs divided into:
  • Common (~54%) → 3,550
  • Uncommon (~30%) → 2,000
  • Rare (~12%) → 800
  • Epic (~4%) → 301

Rarity System: A hybrid approach:

• Each NFT has a defined rarity tag used for gameplay boosts
• The visual trait combination also defines perceived rarity in the market

Core Traits:

• Body, Background, Head, Eyes, Hands, Buff, Powerup

In-Game Utility:

• Passive stat boosts when connected to wallet
• Exclusive or enhanced power-ups
• Modifiers to: base damage, XP gain, speed, effect duration
• Visual uniqueness with rare cosmetics

License & Rights

All Dead Panda NFTs come with full commercial usage rights. Holders are free to:

• Use the image in personal or commercial projects
• Create derivative products (merch, content, etc.)
• Publicly display, monetize or resell them
