Imagine a world consisting of 1 million pixels, each pixel is unique, and each pixel has two necessary attributes: "color" and "price", the holder can decide the color and price of the pixel , the color is the appearance of the pixel, each pixel may have a meaningful pattern due to the color and arrangement combination; and the price determines the amount of tax and income, and it is also the cost of other people wanting to obtain the pixel, these are the "The Space" black Tubang's gameplay and basic concepts.

"The Space" Utu Bang Features

"The Space" is inspired by the co-creation activities of the two r/place pixel maps launched by Reddit in 2017 and 2022, but the biggest difference from the creation activities launched by Reddit is that "The Space" is completely online. On-chain, all pixels are NFTs running on the Polygon chain.

However, being completely on the chain means that all operations require additional handling fees. The handling fee on the Polygon chain is Matic tokens, and the circulating tokens in the world of "The Space" are Space. Anyone who wants to participate in "The Space" All players need to prepare two tokens, Matic and Space, in order to participate!

My fan group is currently holding a lottery for Space tokens. Interested friends are welcome to participate.

How to play : Pixel graffiti game to snatch territory

Income : Universal Basic Income (UBI)

Pixel doodle game for territory grabbing

The gameplay of the game is very simple, and it is explained in one sentence: "Acquire territory, paint the desired color and give a price."

There will be one million pixels in the game, each pixel is the concept of a territory, and the initial price is 1 Space token.

There is only one way to acquire territory, which is to use Space Tokens to buy territory that is not owned or owned by others. After acquiring territory, you must decide the "color" and "price" for the territory.

"Color" affects the appearance of pixels. The color and arrangement of multiple pixels can form a meaningful pattern. This is the part where the creativity is volatile.

The part of "price" will affect "tax" and "income", which we will explain next.

Harberger Tax

This is a concept of economic policy that is constructed on 2 premises:

Everyone must price the assets they hold, not because they are not for sale.
Anyone can buy someone else's asset at any point in time using the pricing at point 1.

The above pricing will directly affect the tax, and the tax will be levied at a uniform proportion of the fixed price, so everyone can set a super high price for their assets, although they will not be bought by others, but they have to pay for it. Very heavy tax; you can also set a super low price on your own assets, although the tax is very cheap, but it is likely to be bought by others immediately. In this way, all asset holders are urged to set a price that is close to a fair market transaction.

The gameplay adopted in "The Space" is that the holder must set a "price" for his pixel. This "price" is levied by the Harberger tax system, so the pricing will directly affect the subsequent cost of the holder. , once you go bankrupt, the pixels you own will be liquidated and returned to the state of no owner. How to observe the market situation and smart pricing will also be part of the gameplay.

Universal Basic Income

As long as you hold pixels (territory) in "The Space", you can passively obtain income (but you still have to collect it manually). These incomes will be collected through the Harberger tax system and then distributed equally. For each pixel, the pixel holder can obtain the basic income allocated to these pixels by manually claiming them.

Epilogue

The entire gameplay of "The Space" can be said to be a large-scale social experiment. By coloring and pricing pixels, adding "Harberger Tax" and "Universal Basic Income" two rules that affect expenditure and income, " Let's wait and see what Utu Bang will look like next in The Space!
