Project Description: The Kepler galaxy is a livable second home for humans. The laws of physics are no longer fully valid. Since everything that happens here is different from the earth, let us open a new autonomous world here.
In terms of the gameplay of the initial version, KeplerHomes is an MMORPG open world game. The early developers of KeplerHomes respected the spirit of decentralization and decentralization. The concept of an autonomous world is the ultimate goal pursued by KeplerHomes. Game equipment, items, and missions are created and designed by core contributors and the broader community to explore every corner of the KeplerHomes galaxy.
Explore the endless possibilities of the KeplerHomes galaxy, where the community’s creativity and dreams come true.

SECTION 3: GRANT OBJECTIVES AND EXECUTION
Clearly outline the primary objectives of the project and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to measure success. This helps reviewers understand what the project aims to achieve and how progress will be assessed.
Objectives:
KeplerHomes aims to be the Arbitrum ecosystem’s premier highly playable open world MMORPG.
As we all know, the attention of truly active Web3 users is difficult to focus and lock for a long time. Social@KeplerHomes will solve this problem well and lock users’ attention on the Arbitrum ecosystem. Incentivizing non-Arbitrum chain users to come to Arbitrum is a good start, and Social@KeplerHomes enables interaction between users, allowing their sense of accomplishment to be reflected in the form of price in Social@KeplerHomes, which fundamentally changes the project and relationship between users.
Note: Social is a social gameplay launched by KeplerHomes on Arbitrum One & Twitter before the official launch of the MMOPRG main game, allowing users to trade with each other in the form of Keys.
(Social@Kepler has completed the development of UI, front-end APP, contract and API, and has entered the testing stage before going online. It is expected to be officially launched for Arbitrum network users around October 7, 2023)
Frankly speaking, this was not our original idea, and we are very grateful to Friend.tech for inspiring us. KeplerHomes has made micro-iterations of this type of social gameplay, and will later integrate lightweight social games (such as crypto farms) to enhance the on-chain activity and interactivity of real users. In this way, even if the subsequent incentive amount is small and has no intensity, users can still have fun. The ultimate goal is to increase Arbitrum One’s incremental real user retention and activity, as well as Arbitrum One’s active user traffic, thereby increasing the value of the entire Arbitrum ecosystem.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
In order to objectively evaluate Social@KeplerHomes’ initiatives in Arbitrum’s short-term incentives, several objectives were set:
1. Add the number of valid user wallet addresses:
Social@KeplerHomes uses the MPC wallet mechanism and a third-party API interface, which is secure and has been verified by large-scale applications. After 0.01 ETH is required to activate the wallet address, it is bound to Twitter to determine the authenticity of the user’s identity and is considered a valid user.
2. User trading activity on Arbitrum:
The Social@KeplerHomes function will deploy a formal contract on Arbitrum One, and the frequency of transactions between users and the contract can be intuitively reflected using Dune.
3. User trading volume on Arbitrum:
Keys Price in Social@KeplerHomes is an important indicator for evaluating users. The recent data results achieved by similar social & gaming applications are obvious to all. Keys Price is also the main driving force for users to promote Arbitrum One &Social@KeplerHomes to their friends in the process of exploring the value of themselves and other players.
4. The total value locked (TVL) of Social@KeplerHomes in the smart contract on Arbitrum:
GameFi does not have a TVL evaluation indicator similar to DEFI, but Friend.tech has achieved amazing explosiveness and stability in TVL in a short period of time. Of course, there are many factors for success. We also objectively realize that this does not mean that Social@KeplerHomes can achieve the same achievements, but it can serve as a good reference basis. Optimistic predictions, cautious predictions, and no exaggeration are the pragmatic work style of the KeplerHomes team. KeplerHomes strives to maximize its combined operating capabilities. Improve the TVL in Arbitrum One and bring more incremental TVL.
How will receiving a grant enable you to foster growth or innovation within the Arbitrum ecosystem?:
KeplerHomes started building in October 2021, and has now completed updates to 5 internal beta versions of the game (the video of the game has been uploaded to YouTube). From day one when building KeplerHomes, we have been committed to long-termism and the philosophy of building a sustainable, highly playable game. KeplerHomes In the long-term construction and communication process of Arbitrum, we marvel at Arbitrum’s community-oriented, strong execution, and pragmatic governance philosophy. Arbitrum has always insisted on doing the right things. This further strengthens KeplerHomes’ confidence in bringing growth and continuous innovation to the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Specific measures are as follows:
-
The MMOPRG game is a relatively heavy product development cycle. A long wait does not allow users to see what they get like DEFI applications. How to deliver playable and interactive products to users is something we actively think about and implement. There are many factors that need to be considered: incremental users, bottleneck boundaries, retention rates, real interaction data, TVL contribution, and sustainability. . Social@KeplerHomes is an experience product that we will officially deliver to users on 2023/10/7. The above multiple factors have been considered in the innovation and design of the mechanism. Continuously increasing the correlation between online lightweight gameplay and games is our pragmatic work point.
-
KeplerHomes has originally developed the NFT MarketPlace, Passport Mint module, Allowlist module, and PreSale module in the Arbitrum ecosystem, and all contracts have been submitted to Github for open source. It can help more developers who want to join the Arbitrum ecosystem, provide them with reference ideas and reduce development costs. Contribute a small amount to the growth of users in the Arbitrum ecosystem. We will continue to optimize and update the user experience of these functional modules in the future.
-
KeplerHomes is aware that Stylus has technically broken through the bottleneck of EVM and supports C++, C, and Rust, which will greatly improve the performance boundaries of on-chain games. The technology stack applied to KeplerHomes is very complex, covering C++, C#, React, Golang, and Solidity. The KeplerHomes team is fully capable of continuously contributing new functional code modules to the Arbitrum ecosystem, while constantly innovating in game logic and gameplay.
-
Social@KeplerHomes is an important functional module launched by short-term KeplerHomes in the Aritrum ecosystem. Social can actively bring user growth and the ability to get out of the circle for Arbitrum in many aspects. Social is a very broad concept. From a growth perspective, it is not only Twitter users, but also touches Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Youtube, and FaceBook users. , Social@KeplerHomes will continue to cover and focus on users operating different social apps in the subsequent update process. Although the above requires time and phased focus, Twitter is something we can quickly cover at the moment.
-
Social@KeplerHomes will use 30% of the Social protocol revenue to give back to KeplerHomes Presale supporters to thank them for their support and trust in KeplerHomes. At the same time, 10% of the income from the planning arrangement agreement will be set up to be allocated as an incentive contract and deployed in Arbitrum.
Justification for the size of the grant:
From March 2023 to June 2023, KeplerHomes AirdropBox for Arbitrum Odyssey users received extensive attention and participation from Arbitrum users.
