The Dogstar League is a feature included in the Dogstar app, a DeFi platform that unites the best of trading and online gaming.

The Dogstar League is a game where any user can participate, and the best gamers can build up their reputation while newbies can play and learn without any risk. It is not a demo! To do this, you just have to open a Dogwallet and create your profile. The goal of the game is to generate profits with the tokens that the sponsor gives to users at the start of the round and to reach the best position on the leaderboard to enter the prize zone. Profits and prizes will be distributed to your DogWallet at the end of the round. To generate profit and improve your position on the leaderboard, players must put their trading and investment strategies into practice.

The playground will be real on the Stellar blockchain, and players will be able to hold, trade (buy and sell), swap, and add liquidity. At your disposal, you will have charts with their tools courtesy of TradingView, as well as some charts with all the information on each asset, pair, and liquidity pool available. The DL is divided into 5-day rounds. A countdown will indicate the beginning and end of each round. At the start of the round, Dogstar will distribute the same amount of sponsor tokens equally to all players. We will call this initial: Sponsored Token. At the end of the round, the player with the most Sponsored Tokens wins.

The new game phase: MyLab completes the Dogstar League with new applications for players. Applications built in Soroban and whose main core is the use of the in-game asset: Terry. Terry are the points (like the gems in the game Clash Royale or the wood in Age of Empires) that a player can obtain by participating in a round of the Dogstar League. A player's Terry are not transferable to another player or user of the Stellar blockchain. In this way, players will discover how to enhance their performance with basic functionalities, expanding the gameplay of the Dogstar League and its strategic component. Players will now be able to use their Terry to swap cards, burn Terry, stack Terry, and lend & borrow Terry.

Problems: - Tech barriers to initiate in the Crypto and DeFi world - Lack of financial education - Fear of losing money - Soroban is a new kid on the block

Solutions: - A platform that offers a complete experience to start using all DeFi tools that anyone can find on the blockchain. - A game where players can practice DeFi with no risk of losing money while they learn and have fun. - MyLab phase will be open-source, enabling a new resource to help devs onboard Soroban.

We have realized that we are building something unique, a project on Stellar & Soroban which will have long-term value to end users or other devs building on Stellar/Soroban. The first game that will mix real trading and in-game achievements controlled by smart contracts.

The game is inspired by MMORTS games from the early 21st century (Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy Video Game), such as Utopia-game, Ogame, Travian, or ZeroG Commander games that inspired the founders of the Dogstar League during their youth. These games promoted financial education through mathematical calculations necessary to develop an acceptable strategy. Games that aroused the emotions of millions of online players and that we think today, by applying the right ingredients, can once again occupy a mass entertainment space.

These ingredients are: - Decentralized Ownership of Assets: Utilize blockchain to give players true ownership of in-game assets. - True Scarcity and Limited Edition Items: Leverage blockchain's ability to create true scarcity by limiting the number of certain in-game items or units. Introduce limited edition items or rare resources that can be traded for high token values. - Provably Fair Gameplay: Use blockchain to implement provably fair gameplay, ensuring transparency and trust in the game's mechanics. This can include smart contracts for random number generation and ensuring that all actions are verifiable on the blockchain. - Community-driven Development: Engage the community through decentralized funding mechanisms like token sales or crowdfunding using smart contracts. Allow players to invest in the game's development and share in its success. - Player-Driven Economy: Create a player-driven economy where in-game markets and prices are determined by player actions and interactions, allowing for dynamic economic systems. - Blockchain-based Achievements and Leaderboards: Implement achievements and leaderboards using blockchain technology, ensuring that accomplishments are recorded transparently and can be verified by other players. - Cards for Unique Units or Heroes: Introduce non-transferable cards for unique units, heroes, or special items. These could have special abilities or attributes. - Privacy and Security: Prioritize privacy and security by utilizing blockchain's encryption features. Ensure that player data is protected, and transactions are secure. - Environmental Considerations: Minimize environmental impact by using the Stellar network and Soroban.

Our game, The Dogstar League, is your game. The next phase of the game will expand the user base since it is more oriented to gamers and at the same time to developers, as they will be able to experiment with a UI in an entertaining way while they can consult the open source of simple protocols built in Soroban. Without a doubt, a lasting and sustainable contribution to the community.

This phase will be accessed from a new button in the header that we will call MY LAB. We already have more than 12 sponsors who are going to donate money so the Stellar community and many more can play in a real environment, with real money but without risking their own. We invite you to create an account and take a look.
