In 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has pushed up energy prices in Europe, and people living in Europe have to change their attitudes towards resources such as electricity and natural gas. The high temperature sweeping the world this summer has also changed the way many people live and exercise. However, conflicts and changes in the real world do not engage the Web3 realm. In the short term, Web3 still seems to be a castle in the air in the concept.
Although various GameFi and NFT projects are trying to get out of the circle and focus public attention on the Web3 field, their popularity is limited and they face many problems:
1. The threshold for users to enter is high, and the liver is involuntary
Axie Infinity has attracted many professional gold-making studios to participate in the game, making it difficult for ordinary users to compete with professional union players, resulting in unequal competition and affecting user experience; some PVP GameFi has set generous rewards and ladder competitions The mechanism allows many users to recharge due to rewards and give up due to difficulty; another example is STEPN, which requires players to earn tokens by running, which means that users with mobility impairments or environmental conditions cannot participate.
2. Making money drives behaviors against human nature, and it is difficult for users to persist
Most X to Earn projects require users to do behaviors that they do not usually do, such as running to Earn, answering questions to Earn, singing to Earn, cycling to Earn, and so on. Human nature is lazy, and it is difficult to persist in behavior that goes against human nature. When it is found that the money-making effect of the game is not obvious or it is delayed due to other things, the player will stop the game.
3. The inescapable Ponzi scenario and the ending of the death spiral
In order to achieve short-term rapid growth, many GameFi projects have given users the expectation of high token returns and a very short payback period in the design of the token model. However, as the growth of new users slows down, tokens continue to bear the burden from With the selling pressure of old users, the Ponzi model gradually becomes unsustainable, and eventually ushers in a death spiral. At this time, users who enter the project with speculative purposes will gradually withdraw from the game because they are unprofitable, and the project itself will fade out of the public vision.
Recently, Odaily discovered a project that has low barriers to entry, takes less time, and earns tokens easily - Digital Baby.itIt is the first MetaFi project on BSC to recharge and raise babies to Earn, which incorporates GameFi and SocialFi elements. Users who have digital baby NFT can earn GE tokens by charging their mobile phones to experience the joy of raising digital babies and develop a good habit of planned charging.
Different from other X to Earn GameFi projects, after two weeks of experience, we found that Digital Baby has the following three obvious highlights:
1. Low barriers to entry for users, everyone is equal
Compared with the various access thresholds and behavioral requirements formulated by the project party in the traditional GameFi project, Digital Baby users only need to be able to ensure that their mobile phones are charged before they can participate, which means that Digital Baby can be more suitable for the public and everyone can participate. It will not be affected by race, country, habits, and its own conditions, and will have a larger target user market in the future. In terms of game fairness, the daily energy recovery mechanism in the app and the daily upper limit of token output eliminate the asymmetric advantages of professional studios, making their survival and profit margins in Digital Baby greatly reduced.
2. Follow humanity
In the modern age when electronic devices have been deeply integrated into peoples daily life, charging mobile phones, tablets, TVs and other devices is a just-needed behavior that is humane and in line with user habits, which means that users do not need to learn to enter the Digital Baby world There is a lot of new knowledge, and there is no need to do extra behaviors that you may not be used to doing. You only need to charge for 10 minutes a day (and hold the basic props NFT), and users can participate in it.
3. Sustainable economic ecology
Digital Baby believes that economic incentives should not be the primary and only purpose for players to enter the GameFi project. The team pays special attention to sustainable design, which is embodied in two aspects.
On the one hand, Digital Baby is relatively restrained in the design of the token incentive model. Through numerical planning, financial leverage and operational means, try to keep and control the users payback cycle at about 1 month, so as to give users reasonable expectations, and Ensure that the project can develop across cycles, instead of allowing users to obtain huge profits in a very short period of time like traditional GameFi projects, resulting in the FOMO effect, allowing the project to quickly fall silent after a short-term explosion.
On the other hand, Digital Baby introduces the attention economy, that is, the screen time that players charge through the App, connects the brand marketing needs of the vast Web2 and Web3, so as to build a value bridge and make it positively related to the extra income of players . In the future, Digital Baby will also expand the devices that support charging to Earn from mobile phones to tablets, TVs, VR glasses and other devices, expand charging scenarios, and further ensure the sustainable development of Digital Babys economic ecology.
In addition to the characteristics mentioned above, Digital Baby also has a very ambitious vision. The team hopes to make some contributions to alleviating the current energy crisis faced by all mankind. On the one hand, Digital Baby reduces the occurrence of over-saturated charging through the setting of charging rules, and cultivates the habit of users not to charge unless necessary, so as to achieve the effect of energy saving; on the other hand, Digital Baby will also be based on iOS and Android OS in the future. The concept of clean energy charging has launched an incentive model to enjoy income bonus for clean energy charging.

Gameplay and parameter design
First, the player needs toEnter the official website to download the AppOfficial DiscordOfficial DiscordThe activation-code channel in . Charge about 100 U of BNB into the App wallet, adopt a digital baby in its built-in market Club, and start raising the baby by charging and earning GE (game tokens).
Currently, digital babies can be used to generate GE and synthesize new digital baby DNA. In the future, social gameplay will be opened, and babies can complete tasks or participate in activities to get growth points or extra rewards.
Digital Baby issued 1,000 Genesis Baby NFTs, of which 600 were issued through the early strategic partner OneCash, and the remaining 400 were distributed to the community in the form of airdrops and whitelist sales. The project party stated that the creation baby will no longer be issued, and the new baby mainly comes from the synthesis of DNA.
Digital Baby NFT has five qualities, namely Legendary, Epic, Rare, Elite, and Common. The quality of Digital Baby can be distinguished by the background color, the legendary quality is golden, the epic quality is purple, the rare quality is blue, the elite quality is green, and the normal quality is white. At present, all 1,000 Genesis Digital Baby NFTs are of ordinary quality, and there will be a chance to give birth to a higher-quality baby through synthetic DNA in the future.
Digital babies have three growth attributes: Super Power, Social Influence, and Perseverance, as shown in the figure below:
The superpower determines the efficiency of digital babies to produce GE, social influence will be related to the future output of CITY (governance tokens), and perseverance affects the durability of digital babies after each charge.
Every time the baby upgrades to a level, it can get a certain number of attribute points. The attribute points can be used to add points to the three attributes. Digital babies of different qualities get different numbers of attribute points when they upgrade. The higher the quality, the assignable attributes they get after upgrading Point more.
Different qualities of digital baby, the basic attributes at level 0 are also very different, the higher the quality, the higher the basic attributes, and the digital baby of the same quality also has certain attribute differences, the figure below shows the value range of the digital babys attributes .
Regarding the synthesis of DNA, that is, mint, every 10th level of digital babies can get a synthesis opportunity, which can be accumulated. If the digital baby is not used for synthesis at level 10, there will be two opportunities for synthesis at level 20, up to 6 times. Players can view the mint times through the mint attribute next to the baby attribute bar. Only when the player has two digital babies in the same account can they jointly mint a DNA similar to an NFT blind box.
Each digital baby can perform up to 6 synthesis times, and the higher the number of synthesis times, the higher the cost. The cost of each digital baby is calculated separately and added together as a composite cost.
Currently, it takes 1600 GE (800+800) to synthesize a DNA from two level 10 white quality digital babies; 1700 GE (850+850) to synthesize two level 20 white quality digital babies.
The higher the quality of the digital baby, the greater the probability of synthesizing higher-quality DNA, the higher-quality DNA has a greater probability of producing a higher-quality digital baby NFT, but the lower-level DNA still has a smaller probability of producing a higher-quality digital baby. High-level digital baby NFT.
The figure below introduces the probability of DNA synthesis of different quality DigiBabies.
The explosion rate of different quality digital baby NFT issued by DNA is shown in the figure below.
It is worth mentioning that there is currently only one elite-quality baby in the entire Digital Baby game. Currently, high-quality babies are extremely scarce. If players can synthesize higher-quality babies in the early stage, they will have a special first-mover advantage. Players can use the high-quality digital babies in their hands to quickly synthesize more high-quality DNA to open more high-quality digital babies NFT.
GE Token
Digital Baby adopts a dual currency model - the game token GE and the governance token CITY. The supply of GE is unlimited, and players can obtain GE by charging the digital baby or mining in the flow pool. GE can be used for digital baby NFT upgrades, renaming, synthesizing and casting DNA, repairing durability, and accelerating upgrades to improve the digital babys ability to earn GE tokens.
Currently available on the iZUMi platformandandLiquidity miningDouble rewards (contract address: 0x708F90170722f8F8775bf64d7f435A2BADBd89FD).
Players generate GE by charging their baby. Under the premise of the daily output limit, GE output is affected by five factors: Super Power, Perseverance, durability, energy value, and charging position.
Superpower is the most critical factor in determining the output of Digimon GE. The greater the superpower, the greater the production of Digimon.
Perseverance determines the decay of durability after each charge. The greater the perseverance, the smaller the decrease in durability after each charge. Superpower and Perseverance are the attributes of DigiBabies, which can be improved through the attribute points obtained after each upgrade. The higher the quality of DigiBaby, the more points you can get from upgrading.
Durability affects the efficiency of output. Every time the baby finishes charging, the durability will decrease. When the durability is lower than 50, the GE output will drop to 80%, and when the durability is lower than 20, the GE output will drop to 10%. Each repair of durability needs to consume GE, and the consumption varies according to the level and perseverance.
The energy determines the charging time. Every 10 energy value can be used for charging for 1 minute. The energy value will automatically restore 1/4 at 6/12/18/0 every day. When the energy value is 0, GE cannot be generated through charging.
The energy limit can be increased, the following is the upper limit increase rule, the maximum energy limit is 1000.
The charging position determines the number of digital babies that can be charged at the same time to produce GE.
By default, the player only has one charging slot, and only one baby can be used to charge to produce GE. When the number of babies is greater than or equal to 3, the second charging position is unlocked, and when the number of babies is greater than or equal to 20, the third charging position is unlocked.
CITY token
The supply of CITY is 600 million, and digital babies who reach level 60 can choose to stop producing GE and produce CITY instead. In the future, players can also obtain CITY by participating in social games such as travel. The purpose of CITY is currently unknown.

Team introduction and future plans
Currently, Digital Babys team members are located in Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, and Australia. The main members include senior game planners with 15 years of industry experience, directors of Internet and blockchain products, senior traders at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and 5-year regional Engineers with blockchain development experience, the team background takes into account games, products, finance, technology, etc. The team has mature product operation experience and solid technical research and development capabilities. The wallet product developed in 2017 has 1.4 million users.
It is worth mentioning that within a week after its launch, Digital Baby developed and launched functions such as App, Swap, wallet, built-in market, and liquidity mining, which further reflects that the Digital Baby team has a certain degree of product delivery efficiency. ensure.
Digital Baby belongs to the project incubated within its team, and reached a strategic cooperation with OneCash invested by HashKey in the early stage. Moreover, Digital Babys current user secondary login rate (i.e., the next days access rate after the first day of registration) has reached 90%, that is, 90% of users will repeatedly start the game on the second day, and the activity is very high. It also far surpasses many mainstream game products on Web2, which will be evidence of Digital Babys user stickiness.
According to the official website roadmap and the information disclosed by the community AMA, Digital Baby divides the future development into three stages.
In the first stage, within three months after the project goes live, Digital Baby will launch the SocialFi gameplay, so that social behavior can promote the babys growth; Digital Baby will also expand more partners, and at the same time optimize the game. The basic function value, do a good job of user stickiness, fission, and game expansion functions, and form a community with a preliminary consensus;
In the second stage, within six months after the project goes live, Digital Baby will introduce the attention economy, and will inject new value into Digital Babys original game ecology through joint publishing, brand advertising, etc.;
epilogue
epilogue
In the past development process of the GameFi track, we have seen enough projects quickly rise and disappear quickly, but we can find Digital Baby as an emerging early project,AdoptedHuman behaviors reduce user participation costs, low threshold, fairer gameplay, and more equal players. It has a very large potential user market, and the project itself is supported by the senior experience of numerical planning and through the design of innovative economic models. Guarantee It has ensured the stable development of the game economic ecology.
It is still in the early stage of the project, and the price of GE tokens is maintained at around 0.04U; coupled with the introduction of advertising economy in the future, the economic model of Digital Baby is more sustainable at present.
We may expect that Digital Baby can create a new application paradigm for the GameFi track and become a more sustainable Web3 project that contributes to the environment, provides value to users.
