Kara Star White Paper
1. KaraStar Overview
With the development of technology, more and more people focus their lives on the virtual world. The economic
system of the real world is also shifting to a new virtual world economic system which is called the "Metaverse".
Based on our passion for the Metaverse, we start our great exploration on the virtual world by projecting the
economic value of real world on the virtual game. And here comes the KaraStar's virtual world. With the financial
and gaming system, KaraStar empowers creators to build a PlayToEarn ecosystem which is one of the kind and
long-lasting.
Anyone can access to the data about the game and pets. The data is unique in blockchain, which enables every
developer in KaraStar to create his own gaming tools and history of the virtual world.
The prominent difference between KaraStar and a traditional game is that blockchain economy is, in KaraStar,
adopted to reward the creators who make contributions to the ecosystem. Such a gaming mode is named
“PlayToEarn” In this mode, the creators can seek for their own profits, and the profits will encourage them to
achieve their goals and their contributions will finally pay off - this is the biggest difference between KaraStar and
a traditional paid game.

KaraStar White Paper
Participate in PVP battle and strive for top ranking on list to win super bonus
Only those creators who make contributions to KaraStar can gain UMY. When a creator advances the
construction of block-related data or achieve his goals in KaraStar, the creator makes contributions to
the game. Only those who move forward the process of history can get bonus. In addition, all the data
will be put onto the Internet so that everyone can look up for
We hope that Kara will become an entertaining world in the blockchain - an open world with justice for everyone.
Something interesting will be the impetus for us to be committed to a better game. But there is yet improvement
to be done.
In the future, Kara will provide more access for us to be financially independent
Here, your social life will be enriched as you can make new friends and meet more investors
More significantly, this is a vital step of gaming revolution and you will leave your marks on the history

KaraStar White Paper
KaraStar is an open digital world of pets. We will build an entertaining world for you, in which you can not only
earn money, but also can find peace and love. Emotions are the momentum for all of us to make contributions to
the game. In this way, a great number of players will be attracted to the game and will build a virtual universe
together.
UMY, the favorite food of Karas, is as well a digital currency that is economically valued in the game
KaraStar serves as a monetary economy completely owned by the creators. And the developers of
KaraStar not only sell digital items or resources, but also focus on the development of the digital world
economy. The creators can earn money in the game. At the same time, a few fees will be charged from
the creators to advance the process of monetization. UMY, the resource currency of the game, will be
created by the player's operations in the game and will be sold to other creators. As such, you can deem
KaraStar as a country with real economy. The government--the tax collector, is the owner of UMY; the
players do their utmost to earn UMY by various means and circulate them through transactions and
trades
All items in the game are conventionalized and have a unique Hash address respectively. This means, the
items can be sold to anyone in any place in an open point-to-point market

KaraStar White Paper
Our goal is to build a sustainable and stable gaming world, which necessitates us to consider how to achieve the
long-lasting, stable and sustainable development of the game, at the same time to fulfill the creators' wishes.
Therefore, we have drawn a conclusion as follows after rounds of discussions and adjustments:
Make KaraStar more practical with new applications such as the Developer Interface, Planet and the like
Add vertical instead of horizontal development. To seek for progress, creators tend to exploit resources
rapidly without plans. This, however, is not the best way to maintain the sustainable development of the
game. We, therefore, adopt the conception of Standard Planet Block to KaraStar:
The size and capacity of each planet determine its values that will be transformed to UMY for the
creators.
The planets will be opened successively in the game. Based on diverse land rules in later stage,
different planets will yield different outputs. Players are required to spend UMYs in exploring it.
However, creators cultivate Karas with energies, which generates enormous demand of creators for
UMY and Karas. Thus, the KaraStar economy will sustain to grow instead of waning.
In the early stage, the growth of KaraStar economic system depends on the creators' demands of
Karas. But those experienced creators can earn bonus by breeding Karas
The mechanism of “Evolution” will be added in the middle and late stages. Evolution requires to
devour pets so as to improve their divinity, which produces new demands. New users can earn
bonus by selling Karas to experienced users. As such, the transition between supply and demand is
achieved
Make contributions to the development of the digital world and their names, therefore, will be written
in the history

KaraStar White Paper
The pets in the game are creatures named Kara. We call the galaxy as KaraSpace, which is constituted of 12,800
planets serving as various irreplaceable resources. We will gradually open up those resources that can be gained
by creators and traded among themselves.
Karaspace is divided into 9 galaxies that represent different Karas' attributes respectively:
Superpower (light, electricity, fire), Nature (dragon, ghost, fairy), Melee (rock, steel, poison)
Resource Planets mainly provide resources and produce various types of currencies, thus building a
sizable economic chain.
The one and only, Mother Planet is the birthplace of all creators. Furthermore, it is the main carrier area
of gaming operations
Mother Planet 1 1
As more and more UMY circulate in the market, the token's output may decrease. But we will offer more
items and develop more functions to support the economic system that will be opened up in future
Meanwhile, it costs players UMY to explore newly-opened planets. But the gains may be way more than
the costs

KaraStar White Paper
Mother planet is a public area that is divided into 255*255 plots and each plot is comprised by 3*3 grids
The plots represent different irreplaceable tokens that players are entitled to transact.

KaraStar White Paper
When you possess plots as your private properties, you can start to build your own Kara kingdom. To be a qualified
emperor, you have to:
Collect decorations in the game and adorn your land so as to build a grand kingdom
Pay attention to your lands for they are coveted by other emperors who may plunder your territory
The uniqueness of the lands determines that their values will increase as the number of them decreases.
Therefore, the lands themselves are investments
There are more settings about the lands, such as Looting, Totem, Exploration and Mining
2.4.1 Looting
The production of resources
The produced digital cryptocurrencies are not UMY, but Karas that are higher-class and more
valuable (Kara is legendary))
Looting
Other emperors governing your neighbouring kingdoms may loot your lands. As a result, you need
to pay close attention to your lands
When you defeat the looters, you can protect resources of your own. But if your rangers are
defeated, you will lose some of you resources
7
KaraStar White Paper
Revenge
After being looted, you can take a revenge for the looter. Such a revenge is free
However, if you strike another attack to the emperor, you will be a new looter
Personified decoration
Diverse decorations of your lands can produce various personified looks of them, such as grassland,
snowfield, desert
In addition, we will upgrade the system to support, in the later stage, the users to open their Dapps
for other creators to use
2.4.2 Totem
Totems are the decorations with additional bonuses
Place Totem Stones on the kingdom flags and they can be replaced in any time
4 Totem Stones are the maximum, otherwise the excessive one has no functions. But lower-level
totems can be synthesized to higher-level ones so as to increase their bonus
More gameplays about lands are being developed now and we will release them gradually. In the first phase, lands
are not opened yet.

The battle system can be generally called as “fighting Hash Rate reward” system, a system based on the NFT
game assets.
Player collect and feed Karas, and assign them to the battlefield. Besides, Karas can also be companions of users.
Each Kara boasts its own features that determine its actual values and functions in battles.

KaraStar White Paper
Morale: to increase critical strike chance. It relates to whether a Kara's attack is a critical strike in a battle.
And a critical strike doubles the damages of a Kara's attack
Skill: The damages in a battle not only include damages a card itself causes, but also the additional
damages caused by skills given by combined card groups. In addition, different card combinations
determine the growth attribute of skills
Speed: determines the order of Karas' attacks in a battle. The fastest Kara attack first. If two Karas have
the same speed, the attack order is based on the following rule: speed > low HP > high skill > high
morale > low ID
The attributes of Karas are in accordance with two features: Karas' genres and body parts
Genres:
Body parts:
Eye: different eyes' appearances and animations, as well as the expressions when Karas are defeated in
battles
Horn: different horns' appearances and animations, as well as corresponding battle cards
Mouth: different mouths' appearances and animations, as well as corresponding battle cards
Back: different backs' appearances and animations, as well as corresponding battle cards
Tail: different tails' appearances and animations, as well as corresponding battle cards

KaraStar White Paper
When an attacker restrains a defender, it will receive an additional 10% damage reward. In return, when
the attacker is restrained by a defender, the damage will be reduced by 10%
On occasions that a battle occurs in the same type of planet and attacker, while the defender and planet
are of different types, the attacker will receive an additional 5% damage. But if the defenders' type is the
same while the attackers' is different, the damage will reduce by 5%
When there is no restrictive relation or the genre is the same, the additional damage bonus or the
reduced damage are both zero
When cards activate an action link, the cards of the same kind will produce an additional bonus
The additional damage bonus will pass on to the following skills, for example, the first skill+1, the
second+2, the third+3, and finally come to a COMBO
The bonus will not end until the next skill of different kind takes effect

Players gain bonus by exploring maps, which parallels to the copies of traditional games. But the difference is that
player will gain tokens as bonus when killing monsters.
BOSS Monsters are the strongest monsters to fight. Player pass the level by defeating them
Players gain experience points, upgrade their account levels and receive tokens after defeating
BOSS Monsters
Treasure box
Players can get rewards from the treasure box randomly, such as digital coins, experience points
and decorations
A treasure box can be disguised by a monster. When players open it, a battle begins
Recover spot
In Dungeon recover points are set, where players can recover 50% of HP. When a player is no
stronger than his opponent, he can pass the level more easily

KaraStar White Paper
3.3.2 Randomness
Each map is given randomly when a player enters Dungeon
The locations of monsters, treasure boxes and recover spots are all random in a map
Therefore, it is not humdrum for players to explore Dungeon over and over again
To defeat a specific BOSS monster that exists as an Easter Egg in a level may cost a player a great number
of energies to win tokens in quantity
Defeating a BOSS of elite level to win tokens that equal to 20*BOSS's level/10
Defeating a BOSS of epic level to win tokens that equal to 50*BOSS's level/10
Each withdrawal cycle is 10 days, which is regarded as the cooling time between two withdrawals
When the given time is up, players can withdraw their digital currencies to the designated wallet
With the above steps done, digital currencies can be circulated and traded by creators
14
KaraStar White Paper
limits have been set upon battle behavior to control economy and output, which are the energy limits:
You can only get digital coins when you consume energy, which limits the speed and approach of digital coins
obtainment.
Energy consumption:
battles in dungeon
battles in Arena
Own 3-9 Karas, the upper limit of disposable energy is 20 points and recover 5 points/6 hours
Owning 10-19 Karas, the upper limit of disposable energy is 40 points and recover 5 points/3 hours
Owning 20 more Karas, the upper limit of disposable energy is 60 points and recover 5 points/2 hours
It is encouraged to possess more Karas. And players with more Karas enjoy higher upper limit of energy, which
allows higher daily revenue, thus bringing better user experience and advancing ecological construction.

KaraStar White Paper
Based on the battle system, battle mode is suitable for competitive games, which displays the creators'
understanding and strategy of the game. We will issue cryptocurrency worth tens of millions as bonus for creators
during the entire competition.
In KaraStar' world, ranks are set for the arena. Player upgrade their levels according to winning percentage and the
number of games played and thus win tokens in quantity.
To make the battle more encouraging, creators will use their own Karas to fight. The higher the Karas' rank, the
stronger the fighting strength.
As such, the arena will be in matching mode and battle are randomly matched
Winners will be rewarded with some tokens and the reward base is equivalent to the levels
16
KaraStar White Paper
There are seven ranks according to different points, which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Mithril, Master and Inventor:
The minimum point is 0, and point will not be deducted when it reaches 0
A new season will be restarted every three months, and all ranks will be reset and started again
Players will be ordained ranks according to the points they own. And Top 12 will be called: Inventor
At the end of a season, a certain percentage % of the trading tax pool will be used as the rewards of the
season
If the above-mentioned bonus is not enough to cover the basic ranking bonus, the shortfall will be made
up by airdrop bonus
If the tax revenue is way more than the basic bonus, the bonus will be awarded a percentage on the tax
revenue
This will play a great role in the medium-term economy. The flow of the currency forms a good closed
loop, which may run spontaneously without too much human intervention
17
KaraStar White Paper
To reward those hard-working creators, high bonuses will be distributed in the following rules:
The top 12 will have a minimum bonus of 10,000 and a maximum bonus of sharing 30% of the bonus
pool equally
The top 30 will have a minimum bonus of 5,000 and a maximum bonus of sharing 30% of the bonus pool
equally
The top 50 will have a minimum bonus of 1,000 and a maximum bonus of sharing 20% of the bonus pool
equally
The top 100 will have a minimum bonus of 400 and a maximum bonus of sharing 20% of the bonus
pool equally
All participants will receive corresponding rewards according to their ranks after the season ends

5. Breeding
Breed to earn
Just like the real world, Karas can have offspring by breeding. To avoid over-expansion of Karas, each Kara has a
limit on the maximum number of offspring. When the limit is reached, Karas can not have offspring anymore.
Breeding needs a certain amount of UMY. The amount of UMY required is dependent on how many times this
Kara has bred before.
0/7 1 150
1/7 2 300
2/7 3 450
3/7 4 750
4/7 5 1,200
5/7 6 1,950
6/7 7 3,150
The total cost of UMY is decided by the breed counts of parents. Total cost = the cost of UMY for father + the cost
of UMY for mother.
19
KaraStar White Paper
5.2 Genetics
Every kara has one body part and one body type. For every part, Kara has three genes, dominant gene (D),
recessive gene (R1), and minor recessive gene (R2).
Dominant genes determine the body parts that the Kara will have, which will also determine the physical
appearance of the Kara. Each gene has a chance to be passed on to offspring when breeding:
Divine gene (R2): Divine points = the sum of parents' divine points divided by 4. Divine points also have
the chance to be passed to offspring
You need to get online and check your Kara egg to ensure a successful hatching
You can choose to trade when your Kara is still an egg, yet at this time it is impossible to find out its final
attributes and skill cards
You can check out the attributes of your Kara when it reaches maturity. And then you can set a
reasonable price for your Kara based on the market price. For these transactions, only a small fee is
required
20
KaraStar White Paper
The goal of evolution is to compete for high arena rewards (KARA tokens) and experience the pleasure of the
crushing victory
Each Kara has its maximum number of evolutions set at birth, which determines
Whether your Kara has a divine gene, Karas with evolution limits less than 30 times have no divine genes
Probability of divine genes, your Karas can not evolve all genes to divine genes if Karas did not evolve
enough times
The highest gene level, which determines the potential of Kara's genes. In this way,
Users can breed powerful genes. For instance, users can cultivate their Karas to be equipped with
the exceeding battle card skills
Users can also breed genes dominating their appearance. When Kara gets all the divine points, your
Kara may begin to glow or change its looks
The specific level of times of evolution will be adjusted according to the profit gap. The current setting is
relatively user-friendly.
When the breeding Karas do not divine genes, their offspring won't have divine genes
21
KaraStar White Paper
When Karas with divine genes breeding with those without divine genes, the available evolution
times of offspring will be the average of the parents.
If the average value is more than 30, then the baby Kara can evolve its divine genes.
If the average value is less than 30, then the baby Kara won't have divine genes.
For example, when a middle-level Kara and a low-level Kara breed, the average value is 37.5. In this
way, most Kara can evolve, yet are limited by the number of times. With the development of
KaraStar, Karas with divine points around 10 will be regarded as basic Karas.
The cost of UMY for each evolution equals the number of times of evolution multiplying five
When Karas are born, they will inherit part of God's genes
When Kara got all 100 divine points after great care, the corresponding part will be rewarded a new
divine look.
The divine look will have the improvement of the appearance and newly added factors
Kara will wear new decorations, such as gems, feathers, etc., and will have new glow effects and
other visual factors
When Karas are on the market, they will have special visual effects
22
KaraStar White Paper
KaraStar's economic overview is shown in the figure below. We hope to build a harmonious and sustainable
economic model. Therefore, we have dealt with income and payment methods to let the incomes and expenses
be relatively balanced. This allows those creators who are willing to spend tokens in the game to get more
improvement. In this way, users can truly enjoy the game rather than simply being part of the economy.
Based on this model, the team hopes that the ecosystem will develop in this way: in the early stage, high returns
can be obtained through easy game behaviors to motivate users. However, with the tokens value getting higher,
23
KaraStar White Paper
more users joining in and the users' level increasing, the economy will spontaneously tightening. That's when we
hope that users will participate in the arena season and obtain higher rewards through competing for higher arena
ranks. We believe that this mode will do good to the game's issuing and the token's price stabilizing.
The rewards gained per day is determined by the number of Karas owned by the user
In the PVE mode, the upper limit of the number of tokens obtained per day is limited. Kara's level will determine
the range of tokens rewarded, which can well encourage the creator to upgrade their own Karas. In farm mode,
the number of tokens dropped is also determined by the level.
The unlock of the UMY issued by KaraStar does not completely depend on the game developers, but also on the
creators.
Taking the public sale as the starting point, the unlocking of UMY will last for 12 months. The initial circulating
supply is 2,000,000,000 which occupies 20% of the total supply.
The above figure shows the maximum possible issuance of UMY in the next few years, and the total supply will not
exceed 10,000,000,000.
24
KaraStar White Paper
Genesis sale reserves an amount of UMY as a reward for a certain group of strategists in the early stage of KaraStar.
If the reserved UMY is not been used, it may be recycled to the game as rewards to other users based on the
market situation.
It is expected that the issuance of UMY will be slightly lower than the unlock schedule. Even if the tokens are
unlocked, before the game is ready to enter the growth phase, we will not issue too many Play to Earn fund
allocations. And we promise never to issue more than the total supply.
We have made the following settings for the distribution of UMY currency rewards:
When the amount of circulating UMY reaches 2 billion, the rewards in the game will be reduced to
75%
When the amount of circulating UMY reaches 4 billion, the rewards in the game will be reduced to
50%
When the amount of circulating UMY reaches 6 billion, the rewards in the game will be reduced to
25%
When the amount of circulating UMY reaches 8 billion, the rewards in the game will be reduced to
1% or even 0%
These settings will largely ensure that the currency will not be over-issued in the short term. And
due to the consumption on the market and the burning, UMY will appreciate to a certain extent
Play to Earn fund in KaraStar only takes up 80% of the total supply. Play to Earn will attract a large number of
creators to join the ecosystem of Kara and gain token rewards. The most active and influential members of the
community will be granted ownership and equity.
25
KaraStar White Paper
These UMY will be unlocked every quarter within 4 years, which includes 12 stages. For every stage, there will be
1.5% of the total supplied UMY unlocked. As for the remaining 2%, we will unlock and distribute those UMY based
on the real-time situation and data of the game.
Play to Earn which lets users make part of the issued tokens can encourage the crucial user behaviours in our
ecosystem. Behaviours like:
This funds allocation of Play to Earn can be regarded as the marketing budget of the ecosystem. When we are
promoting the game, the budget for this part can be increased. With the construction and stability of the
ecosystem, all of these will be strictly managed and executed as planned.
Our love for UMY is just like parents' love for children. In the early stage, the development team will lock all tokens.
Along with the development of KaraStar, we may gradually unlock part of the tokens as internal rewards.
26
KaraStar White Paper
We promise to lock it for at least 12 months, after which 20% will be released as a team reward. The remaining
tokens will be released linearly within 48 months.
When KaraStar is in the testing phase, we will invite creators to participate in the test. It is expected that the
invited creators will actively participate in our test network to help us improve and optimize KaraStar.
When the test is over, we will give airdrop rewards to creators who have made outstanding contributions to
KaraStar
The rules for airdrop rewards are determined by unanimous voting of the community. Invited creators should:
Play games
For a better market performance of UMY, we will implement the mechanism of burning and destroying to UMY
Proof of burn mechanism will be provided in the mining of KARA tokens, in which all these tokens will be
burned
27
KaraStar White Paper
Those users who hold KARA can earn more rewards by staking KARA for
mining. Community users can participate in the governance voting of the
platform by staking KARA tokens. Besides, KARA can also be used for
in-game payments.
KARA, as the governing token in KaraStar, the NFT game world, has great
visions and goals.
Take the public sale as the starting point, the unlocking stage of KARA tokens will last 60 months. The initial
circulating supply of KARA tokens is 58,500,000, about 11.70% of the total supply.
The data shows the maximum issuance and total supply of KARA tokens will not exceed 500,000,000 in the next
few years.
28
KaraStar White Paper
The KARA tokens has been thought about in the early stage. Considering the unknown possibilities in the future, it
was set to efficiently promote and build the entire ecosystem. It also needs to fulfill most people’s expectations
and visions for the future.
When the ecosystem of Kara entered the development period, we will give KARA tokens as airdrop rewards to
players who are on the ranking list of arena
If the tax revenue is less than the pre-set minimum rewards, KaraStar will still give the minimum rewards
out. If the tax revenue is more than the minimum rewards, the airdrop rewards will be proportional to
the tax revenue
If the minimum airdrop condition is met, the rewards for the season will be Kara that is proportional to
the tax revenue
29
KaraStar White Paper
When KaraStar's ecosystem enters the development period, users can start the work of mining after staking some
KARA items.
KARA items include decorations and other items on the NFT market
Staked items won't be consumed or burned. Those items will be returned to users after they stopped
mining, which can be obtained in new modules of the game
If people who have KARA items to stake but are not interested in the above-mentioned content can entrust a third
party to proceed the mining or they can also choose the way of liquidity mining.
30
KaraStar White Paper
If we say UMY is our child, then KARA tokens is the palace we created. It is the embodiment of expectations and
the future. It is the present we prepared for everyone's dream.
We promise to lock it for at least 12 months, after which 20% will be unlocked as team rewards, and the remaining
KARA tokens will be unlocked linearly within 48 months
31
KaraStar White Paper
Community and its ecosystem have great contributions to KaraStar, which helps to build the entire system.
Therefore, 13% of KARA tokens will be held by the community.
To generate higher motivation for the community and its members, 20% of KARA tokens held by the community
will have no lock-up period.
After 6 months, 30% of total held tokens will be unlocked based on the community's operation status. The
remaining tokens will be unlocked within 24 months
32
KaraStar White Paper
Along with the follow-up development, we will create new tools and worlds based on the current ecosystem, and
present the entire interstellar world in 3D.
We will launch interstellar editing tools to facilitate community members or other developers to create their
planets, which is friendly to the whole community. This is also a very important part of our long-term
development plan, which is very important in the entire community ecosystem.
Part of the planets will be sold in the Genesis Treasure Box, which is limited. After the purchase,
users can acquire the Genesis Planet
That is to say, the higher the value of Kara, the higher the holder's profit
Tax revenue
There will be an orbit maintenance fee for every place which is on the route of interstellar travel.
This fee will be included in the spacecraft ticket
Owners of Genesis Planet will obtain the corresponding orbit maintenance fee
The more routes pass your planet, the more tax revenue you will get
33
KaraStar White Paper
In the era of the interstellar community, we will have a new profession which is the NFT creator
NFT creators can use the development tools we provide to make various buildings, decorations, and
others on the planet that comply with the rules
They can trade these items with other owners of planets on the trading market
The items for construction comes from the resources planets. Exploration of these planets will get
you those building items
Planet building
In essence, it is the creators and the community that have control over the construction of the
planet
Plots for construction are limited for each planet. Owners need to use these plots to build their
planets to a resource spot on the travel route
To what extent the planet has been built will determine one's Energy Level
The higher the Energy Level, the more travel routes the planet can support
Only in this way, you can collect more tax revenue from travellers
As part of the whole ecosystem, this is open for all the developers who can create for the entire world and provide
services to get paid
