1. Executive Summary
Azurite Mines is a blockchain mining strategy game centered on fleet creation, planetary exploration, NFT trading, reward claiming, and on-chain AZR settlement. Players use Generals and Ships to build fleets, spend Energy to explore planets, earn mAZR through successful expeditions, and interact with smart contracts for marketplace and reward operations.
The project is intentionally anonymous. No public founder or team profiles are presented on the official landing page. The focus is on gameplay mechanics, transparent transaction records, and contract-controlled reward movement.
2. Vision
The goal of Azurite Mines is to create a compact but expandable Web3 game loop: simple enough for new players to understand, but deep enough to support progression, resource management, market activity, and future seasonal content.
- Make Web3 gameplay understandable through clear actions and visible rewards.
- Use on-chain settlement where it matters: trading, claims, and vault payouts.
- Keep gameplay fast through off-chain calculations and server-side validation.
- Support future expansion through new planets, NFT types, events, and balancing updates.
3. Gameplay Loop
3.1 Minting
Players mint Generals and Ships using AZR. Minted assets receive rarity and stats. Generals provide power, while Ships provide capacity and power bonuses.
3.2 Fleet Creation
Players combine available Generals and Ships to create fleets. Fleet power determines which planets can be explored. Fleets also track maintenance, experience, level, reward efficiency, and cooldown state.
3.3 Exploration
Planets have required power, success rate, base reward, and energy cost. When a fleet explores, the game checks availability, maintenance, power, and energy. Successful expeditions award mAZR and EXP. Failed expeditions still consume the action and affect progression rules.
3.4 Maintenance and Repair
Fleets have limited maintenance runs and may require maintenance before continuing. Long-term fleet efficiency can decay and later be repaired, creating an ongoing resource-management loop.
3.5 Marketplace
Players can list available NFTs, cancel listings, or buy NFTs from other players. Marketplace actions are connected to smart-contract listing IDs and transaction hashes to reduce database/contract desynchronization.
3.6 Dismiss
Unassigned and unlisted NFTs can be dismissed. Dismiss refunds use an authorized backend signature and a refund vault contract so the player receives AZR from the Reward Pool Hot Wallet only when the dismiss request is valid.
4. Game Assets
5. Economy
5.1 AZR
AZR is the on-chain utility token used for minting, marketplace purchases, selected fees, and reward payouts.
5.2 mAZR
mAZR represents in-game mining output. It is used as a reward accounting unit before claim flows convert eligible value into AZR payouts.
5.3 Energy
Energy limits exploration activity and supports pacing. Energy costs scale with planet reward parameters.
5.4 Marketplace Fees
The marketplace contract distributes fees between Reward Pool, Treasury, and Liquidity wallets. The current designed split is 60% Reward Pool, 20% Treasury, and 20% Liquidity, with a 5% marketplace fee parameter.
6. Smart Contract Architecture
6.1 Marketplace Contract
The marketplace contract handles listing creation, cancellation, purchases, fee splitting, and payment transfers using AZR token approvals.
6.2 Claim Vault
The claim vault pays validated claims from the Reward Pool Hot Wallet. The current design uses owner-controlled payout execution.
6.3 Dismiss Refund Vault
The dismiss refund vault uses an authorized signer to validate refund requests before transferring AZR from the Reward Pool Hot Wallet to the player.
6.4 Action Fee Distributor
The action fee distributor is used to route BNB action fees according to project fee allocation rules.
7. Security Model
- Backend validation: PHP validates user session, wallet ownership, NFT state, listing state, and transaction hashes.
- Contract validation: Contracts enforce active listings, sender ownership, claim usage, and vault payout conditions.
- Replay protection: Claim IDs, dismiss request IDs, and listing IDs reduce duplicate execution risk.
- Signature authorization: Dismiss refunds require a backend signer so users cannot request arbitrary refunds.
- Admin logs: Critical actions are logged with user, entity, resource type, details, and transaction hashes.
8. Roadmap
- Core Launch: Mint, fleets, exploration, marketplace, claims, dismiss refunds, logs, and admin panel.
- Balancing: Adjust reward curves, cooldowns, fleet repair, and marketplace fee parameters.
- Events: Lunar Tickets, seasonal planets, special rewards, and limited-time mechanics.
- Mainnet Expansion: Final contracts, production liquidity planning, documentation, and public launch campaign.
- Advanced Gameplay: New NFT classes, deeper fleet upgrades, planet modifiers, and expanded progression.
