Portal V1 Update: Sky Falls Land: Gameplay & Redemption

 

The Silks Team is happy to announce the release of the V1 version of our Portal, as well as the Metaverse map and land redemption functionality.  This functionality will allow users to mint their Sky Falls Land Parcel tokens onto the official map. This guide will assist you in redeeming and developing your land in Game of Silks. Make sure you have access to the wallet that your Sky Falls Land Parcels are locating in before proceeding.

As part of the V1 update, current users will now begin to create their accounts within the Silks ecosystem. When signing into the Portal with your wallet, click Sign-Up. You will be registering as a new user and will reconfirm your email address and create your Silks password. All of your assets are still tied to your wallet address. Please remember to create a secure password when registering your new account.

Release Information

•   There is an outstanding initial balance of 5975 parcels owned by the community to be redeemed      onto the map 
• Redemption will be open from March 1st until March 22nd. The community will have 21 days to redeem their Sky Falls Land parcels at the time they desire
• Silks will close redemption on March 22nd and take a snapshot of all owners and unredeemed acres of land
• On March 23rd, Silks will begin airdropping all remaining unredeemed acres. This will result in existing Sky Falls Genesis Parcels losing all utility and Silks updating Metadata to reflect that they are no longer valid
  
  • Unredeemed land parcels will automatically be randomly minted onto the map and assigned coordinates
  • This process will take up to a couple of weeks

Important Notes

• Silks will pre-mint the following acres onto the map prior to the March 1st release date. 
  • 144 acres: Hall of Silks - Location: Center of the Map
  • 100 acres: NYRA 
  • 100 acres: Tropical Racing 
• These acres will appear as 'Landmarks' on the official Silks map

Land Development

Sky Falls is the first region of the Silks Metaverse being released. It is comprised of 25,000 1 acre lots. 

Private & Public Farms

Each parcel of land can house one horse. Upgrading your farm, or adding additional pieces of land to your farm, will allow you to stable additional horses.

The amount of contiguous acres you own will determine if your farm is private or public. Private farms are between 1-9 acres and only allow you to stable your own racehorses, 

Public farms are 10+ acres and allow you to accept stable requests from the public, opening up collaboration and diversification opportunities. Public farms can be between 10-100 acres in size and can only be expanded in increments of 10 contiguous lots. 

Sky Falls Redemption (Logic)

Each Parcel can be redeemed for a random acre of land within the Sky Falls region. When a user redeems their parcel, it will result in a new land NFT being minted and their parcel being burned. Redemption will be capped at 10 contiguous acres. Meaning, users can do bulk redemptions higher than 10 parcels at a time, but the maximum contiguous acres they will receive will be 10. For example, if a user redeems 9 acers they will receive 9 random contiguous acres on the map, but if they redeem 11, they will receive 10 random contagious in one location and the remaining acre is a separate random location. Visual examples are listed below:

The redemption contract will randomly mint up to 10 contiguous acres in one location that can be different shapes. 

• The contract randomly mints 5 contiguous acres of land and send them in your wallet
• A user with 14 land can submit their redemption in one transaction. The contract will randomly mint 10 contiguous acres in one location, and 4 contiguous acres in another. 
• A user with 47 land can submit their redemption in one transaction. The contract will randomly mint 10 contiguous acres of land in 4 random locations, and then 4 contiguous acres in another location. 

Sky Falls Redemption: 1155 --> 721A

Comparative to the Sky Falls Unrevealed parcels, which are ERC-1155 tokens, the redeemed land you receive with coordinates will be a standard ERC-721A token. Every Silks Land parcel you own will be a separate NFT.

HOW TO REDEEM

• This video from our Head of Product Binny gives a detailed walkthrough of the redemption process
• Please note that it will take up to 10 minutes for your newly redeemed parcels to appear on the map

Land - Sky Falls Utility

Sky Falls Land is rich in utility, offering every component a user may need to successfully launch their farm. Sky Falls Land has unique zoning rights that allow for Private Farms to be between 1-9 acres in size. In addition, each acre of land in the Sky Falls region contains an embedded Founders Stable that can house your horses. Sky Falls also allows for the expansion of up to 100 acres in size for public farms. Public farms can only be upgrades by acquiring 10 contiguous acres of land.
