## <mark style="color:blue;">A Meme with a Team</mark>

**Zombie Turtle** Token **(zTURT)** is one of the few projects that can confidently say, **"We have a meme with a team."**  The team behind the token consist of a group of bright-minded IT gurus, engineers, business owners, and crypto enthusiasts.  We want to give **REAL** utility to **Zombie Turtle** and not spout nonsense like, "This token has no intrinsic value...ya-dee-ya-da x2." &#x20;

However, like every other investment done on blockchain, the commonality is that there are always risks of losing your investments due to market sentiments or behaviors, price manipulations by the big fellas, or the project simply just does not seem to garner interest from the community to drive value.  Please be aware of that, and do your own research on what, who, and when to invest. &#x20;

With that said, let's talk about why you will love us, our meme, and our project.&#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">The Meme:  "I like Turtles"</mark>

"Zombie Kid Likes Turtles" ([CaptJax458](https://www.youtube.com/@CaptJax458), Youtube.com)
{% endembed %}

There was a [**video meme**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y) that went viral in 2007, of a boy named, [Jonathan Ware](https://www.the-sun.com/news/4417241/i-like-turtles-boy-looks-unrecognisable/), who was face-painted as a **zombie** while at a local fair.  When asked to comment about his zombie makeover by a reporter, he replied randomly with, **“I like turtles”**.  This was not the response that the reporter had expected and so she tried to alleviate the awkward situation by wrapping up the segment swiftly. &#x20;

This video became a sensation during that time and many merchandises were sold with the tag line, **“I like turtles.”**  Our branding stems off of the **Zombie boy's** response,  **“I like turtles.”**  We are sure he is not the only person in the world who likes turtles. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Our Impactful Mission</mark>

Our team believes that it is important to give back to the world from which we took a lot from.  Although the problems are vast, the reality is we cannot target every area having to do with world preservation.  Therefore, we decided to focus on one relevant subject...saving our sea turtle friends.  This goal and mission goes hand in hand with the message of the meme. &#x20;

> **Fact**: Over the last 200 years, human activities have tipped the scales against the survival of our ancient turtle friends, causing near extinctions for a lot of these creatures. (WWF, 1989)
>
> To learn more, you can visit the [World Wild Life Organization](https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/sea-turtle#:~:text=Over%20the%20last%20200%20years,from%20poaching%20and%20over%2Dexploitation.). &#x20;

As part of our overall mission and initiative, we plan on donating 20% of all earned revenue to [**the Sea Turtle conservancy**](https://conserveturtles.org/), which is the oldest and most accomplished sea turtle organization in the world!  They are a non-profit organization based in Gainesville, Florida. &#x20;

If you would like to invest in a meaningful project that can impact the world positively, and/or if you have the mentality of, **“I like turtles”**, support our initiative by buying **zTURT** to help us fund this innovative project.  Become a stakeholder and help spread awareness to preserve the life and ecosystem of the sea turtles.&#x20;

Up next, we will discuss the project protocol and how we plan to bring value to the ecosystem.&#x20;

# The Project Protocol

<figure><img src="https://2897141509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEde2XkyMG5XJDd3SkEab%2Fuploads%2FKrpi4EYdwiiXHe7bayOQ%2Fvillage.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=759652b4-5cb0-4da9-bd27-887061d1e4a9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## <mark style="color:blue;">Zombie Turtle Island</mark>

After years of studying the trends and fads of blockchain, we became big fans of the innovations happening around technology like, Play-to-Earn, Metaverse, Memes and NFT.  We wanted to create an immersive world that can bring impactful awareness to our community about the things happening to our sea turtle friends.  For this reason, the team has decided to build our entire ecosystem around a protocol called, **Zombie Turtle Island Protocol (ZTIP).** &#x20;

**Zombie Turtle Island** is (or will be) a virtual world ecosystem that creates various tangible and intangible value with gaming NFT as the core.  The aim is to build an expandable virtual world that offers players various ways to earn and acquire wealth.  Furthermore, the players get to learn about preserving the life of sea turtles inside the game and will play a key role in spreading awareness.

We will learn about the Lore of this immersive virtual world in the next segment. &#x20;


# The Lore

The Lore of Zombie Turtle Island

<figure><img src="https://2897141509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEde2XkyMG5XJDd3SkEab%2Fuploads%2FkyYh0zGZopYTlnWjXcjV%2Fturtlelandscape1.png?alt=media&amp;token=3f101f62-39a2-4aca-a31a-ac35bcac3004" alt=""><figcaption><p>Zombie Turtle Island</p></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;         Long ago, a being, powerful enough to be considered a god, wandered by a string of fate to an empty void.  The void was formless.  It was neither water nor air.  It had no name and it had no purpose.  The god was called **Eltrut**.  When **Eltrut** saw the formless void, he felt compassion towards it, and decided to name it **Turtes**.  Upon receiving its name, the void felt life entering its core.  The water and the sky began to form with boundaries set between them and an enormous creature emerged from the water.  This creature resembled a giant sea turtle.  The once formless void has now become three entities: the water, the sky and the giant sea turtle.  The spirit of **Turtes** took refuge in the giant sea turtle.  **Turtes** and the **Eltrut** were inseparable, as if they were lovers.  This unnatural love gave birth to two kin.  One was named **Ambition** and the other was named **Nature**.  **Ambition** took on the form of a very handsome man, while **Nature** took the form of a humbling seed.  Every few millennia, **Eltrut** enters a deep sleep to replenish his divinity.  No one knows when his slumber will end.  Before departing, he wanted his kin to make their own choices about what they wish to pursue.  **Ambition** decided to explore the dark voids, which were all formless spaces, in hopes that he too may find his own **Turtes**.  **Nature** decided that she would set her roots on the shell of her mother, **Turtes**.&#x20;

&#x20;         After one long millennium, **Turtes** was no longer just an ordinary giant sea turtle.  **Nature** began sprouting roots and her roots extended to the deepest core of her mother.  Her attachment to her mother and the fruits of her growth led to another phenomenon.  A land flowing with life, vegetation, and freedom was born.  This land was known as **Lenape**, which meant, **the Island on the Turtle**.  The Island was home to some of the strangest yet exotic creatures.  Some were two legged and some had too many legs.  Some can speak the same tongue and some cannot speak at all.  Some were humans.  Some looked like foxes, wolves, rabbits, lizards, birds, fish, cats, and some have not been discovered yet.  On **Lenape**, all races co-existed in harmony.  Mother **Nature** played a key role in keeping the peace.&#x20;

&#x20;           While **Nature** was building her world, **Ambition** was traversing the dark void.  Eventually, **Ambition** returned to **Turtes**, empty-handed and feeling extremely defeated.  When he saw what his sister had accomplished, he became envious, and this led his heart towards destruction.  During his years of wandering in the dark void, he acquired many skills.  One of his greatest skills was deception.   He connivingly came up with a plan to plant “ambitions” into the heart of the natives living on Turtle Island.  Some were opposed to the changes, but some were easily swayed.  For the natives’ hearts were fragile and easily manipulated.&#x20;

&#x20;         The natives began to turn away from Nature and started relying on machineries and mass production of things that they did not really need.  Surely, it made work easier for them, but little did they know, they were slowly destroying **Lenape**.  Factions began to form out of the economical disputes and differences.  War broke out between the differing views.  No one knew or caught on that in the end **Ambition** would be the only one to benefit from all of this.  Some were content with the simple but harmonious life that they had with **Nature**. Others sought more and so they took hold of **Ambition’s** hand.  Those who did so, discovered ways to increase their firepower, by enhancing their forms mechanically.  Which brought forth a completely new race known as, the Mechanical Natives.

&#x20;           More centuries flew by and the light in **Turtes’s** eyes began to fade. **Turtes**, along with the world of **Lenape**, was dying, despite how hard the giant sea turtle fought for its survival.  **Turtes** could not bear the differences and hatred that her kin harbored towards each other.  Alas, the giant turtle took its last breath, and the death of **Turtes** and **Lenape** took the natives by surprise.  For all were too focused on their own ambitions.  With **Turtes** dead, **Nature** could no longer sustain life without a core to plant her roots.&#x20;

With **Nature** fully out of the picture, **Ambition** could finally spread his roots.  After **Ambition** had completed planting his roots, **Turtes** came back to life, but she was not the same.  With chemical pollutions caused by factories and machineries during the war, the island that was once bountiful and flourishing with life, vegetation, and freedom have now become a **Zombie Turtle Island**.  The dead from the war emerged from their graves and the once gentle animals and insects mutated into ravenous creatures that devoured everything in sight.  When the natives of the island realized what had happened, they put aside their differences and tried to rebuild the peace they once had when **Nature** was around.  A fortress was built for the sake of survival for the last and remaining natives.&#x20;

&#x20;           When **Eltrut** finally awoke from his slumber, he was disheartened to discover what has become of his beloved **Turtes** and his kin.  He informed the natives that there was still a chance to revive **Turtes** and Lenape to its former glory, but it must be done by the work of the very people who destroyed the island itself.  **Eltrut** told the natives to revive the once bountiful island, cleaning out all of the pollution, plastics, and trash in the water and on the island.  As for their undead brethren, the only way to put them to rest is to kill them and offer their bones to the heart of the island where their soul would rest within the giant sea turtle.  This would restore **Turtes**’ core back to its former days.

&#x20;           As for **Ambition**, **Eltrut** does not want to directly harm his own kin so he left it up to the natives to deal with him.  He gave his blessings to those who stood at the forefront.  His blessings instilled unique abilities to the natives.  This gave them a fighting chance against the powerful being, **Ambition**.  Those who survived must fight their undead brethren and prevent **Ambition** from furthering his reign.  Do you have what it takes to prevent annihilation from a corrupted god and be one of the surviving natives on this Island?  Make things right, for **Turtes**.  Survive and discover how to break this curse caused by **Ambition** and restore **Zombie Turtle Island** back to the way it should be.

&#x20;           As you learn through gameplay and unravel mysteries through story plots about why **Zombie Turtle Island** has become an undead island, help spread awareness by teaching others.  Form your legion of **Heroes**.  Build your wealth and reputation.  Collect resources and play a key role to the island's economy. &#x20;

&#x20;         **Be the Hero not just for the Zombie Turtle Island world, but also our world.** &#x20;


# Ecosystem and Utility Tokens

<figure><img src="https://2897141509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEde2XkyMG5XJDd3SkEab%2Fuploads%2FS1Bhe9JbX8ibQ31dGitR%2FzTURT%20Icon.png?alt=media&amp;token=274d6030-1a90-443c-b7fe-b91c514bf4bd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## <mark style="color:blue;">Ecosystem Token - zTURT</mark>

**Zombie Turtle Island** will launch a token called **zTURT**, short for **Zombie Turtle Token**, as the main token of value for governance and shareholding for the platform and organization.  This token will have a limited supply and will be extremely hard to earn as the games/development progresses. &#x20;

It can be staked on the platform or sold to the liquidity provider.  Eventually, we will list this on major **Centralized Exchanges** to drive more users and value to the ecosystem. &#x20;

Staking the token, will give you a **shareholder status**.  That being said, all income earned through sales transactions of the game, merchandises sold, and fees for minting **NFT Heroes** will funnel through to provide some very generous rewards for our shareholders.  All Stakes will be locked for 30 days before it can be withdrawn. &#x20;

Before launching the **NFT Hero minting** feature, we plan to reward our shareholders by **airdropping Generation Zero Heroes** with unique skills/abilities to 1000 lucky holders.  These **Heroes** are **Non Fungible Tokens** that will have a **store of value** when the game launches.  Every 5,000 **zTURT** that you own will add additional entries and give you a higher chance to own one of these **Heroes**.  The **Founder Wallets** will be excluded. &#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2897141509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEde2XkyMG5XJDd3SkEab%2Fuploads%2FKOWoftyw757yYbGBU5sX%2Fsonyyang%20silver%20coin_1.5x_1.5x.png?alt=media&amp;token=8b02ceb2-e971-42bb-85c1-9250f2e96aad" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## <mark style="color:blue;">Utility/Game Currency Token - ztCOIN</mark>

When the team launches the game/metaverse, **ztCOIN**, short for **Zombie Turtle Island Coin**, will be the **in-game currency**.  **ztCOIN** will power game play in the metaverse and will also act as the major contributing factor for Play-to-earn.  **The only way to earn ztCOIN is by playing the game.** &#x20;

An advantage that **ztCOIN** offers over **zTURT** is that it allows players to mint **NFT items** and resources, which can be listed and sold in the **player-to-player Free Market Place** for the chain's native token, ie **ETH**. &#x20;

There will not be an official **DEX** pair for **ztCOIN.** Any pairs listed will likely be created by players or users and my not have sufficient liquidity, so trade with caution. &#x20;

When the game launches, the game will only provide a swap tool called the **zTURT Mint Protocol** for players to swap their **ztCOIN** for **zTURT,** and vice-versa.  The ratio will start at **1,000,000** **ztCOIN** to **1 zTURT**, and will use the same formula as **Uniswap**. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">zTURT Tokenomics</mark>

**Max Supply:**  100,000,000 **zTURT**

**Initial Supply At Launch:**  50,000,000 **zTURT**

* **48.5% or 48,500,000** **zTURT** allocated for **Liquidity pool on a DEX.** &#x20;
* **11% or 11,000,000 zTURT** is allocated to the founders and development.  **1,000,000 zTURT** will be minted at initial launch to reward founders for providing funding and designing the project.  **10,000,000** **zTURT** will be locked up until the game is ready.  This portion can only be minted when players start earning. &#x20;
* **5.5% or 5,500,000** **zTURT** is allocated for airdrops and marketing.  **500,000** **zTURT** will minted at launch to provide initial marketing and airdrop incentives.  **5,000,000** **zTURT** will be locked up until the game is ready.  This portion can only be minted when players start earning. &#x20;
* **35% or 35,000,000 zTURT** is allocated for in-game play-to-earn.  Players will earn **ztCOIN** first, then they can swap to mint **zTURT**.&#x20;

**At Game launch:** the **35,000,000 zTURT** that were locked up from in-game allocation along with **35,000,000,000,000 ztCOIN** will be allocated to the **zTURT Mint Protocol contract** to provide liquidity for this swap feature.  Although, it is considered a swapping mechanism, we will refer to it as, **"minting,"** for sanity sake. &#x20;

**How zTURT Gets Minted:** &#x20;

* **zTURT** can only be minted when players earn the **in-game ztCOIN** tokens and swaps it for **zTURT** on the **zTURT Mint Protocol**.  This uses a swap contract that is similar to **Uniswap** but without fees.&#x20;
* For every **1** **zTURT** that is **"minted"** on the **protocol**, **0.10** **zTURT** is also minted from the founders' escrow to reward the **founders**, and another **0.05** **zTURT** will be minted to cover development and marketing.  This portion will be minted from the market/airdrop escrow. &#x20;

**Utility:**

* Provides **Governance** and **voting points** for stakeholders to steer the direction of the game and project. &#x20;
* Activates **stakeholder status** by staking to earn platform revenue. &#x20;
* Can be converted to **in-game curency ztCOIN** at any point after game launches.&#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">**ztCOIN**</mark> <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Tokenomics</mark>

**Max Supply:**  Unlimited

**Initial Supply At Game Launch:** **Only 35,000,000,000,000** **ztCOIN** will be pre-minted and added to the **zTURT Mint Protocol** so that if users wish to swap their **zTURT** to **ztCOIN** they can do so.&#x20;

**How to attain ztCOIN:** &#x20;

* Just simply play the game and you will earn **ztCOIN** at a fair and gradual pace. &#x20;
* You can also attain **ztCOIN** at launch when the **zTURT Mint protocol** is ready.  The protocol allows you to swap from **zTURT** to **ztCOIN** .&#x20;
* The difficulty of earning **ztCOIN** will increase as **circulation supply increases.**&#x20;
* **For every 1,000,000,000 ztCOIN in circulation supply, the difficulty increases by 10%.**  This excludes the initial value that was put into the **zTURT Mint Protocol.**&#x20;

**Utility:**

* **In-game** currency
* Mint **Items** and **resources**
* **Upgrade** and **leveling** up **Heroes**
* Mints **zTURT** by swapping


# NFTs and Store of Value

**ZTI (Zombie Turtle Island) NFTs** are full **RPG characters**, **items**, **pets, and resources** minted as **Non fungible assets**.&#x20;

Heroes are characters that must be played individually and every Hero has consumable status like **HP, MP**, and **Stamina**, as well as a **leveling system**. The **Hero NFT** is the biggest key features of the game.  **You simply cannot play the game without it**, and to play you would need at least one Hero to play.  This encourages players to mint at least one Hero.&#x20;

These **NFTs** can **only be minted in-game** and **requires achievements, ztCOIN, and Resources to mint**.  Items have **unique appearances along with unique stats**.  Items can be things such as Tools, Weapons, Armor, Clothes, and Accessories. &#x20;

* Minting **Items** will burn the **Resources and ztCOIN** currency token. &#x20;
* Some **items** might come with a **rare ability** along with its standard stats. &#x20;
* **Minted Items** can be **sold** or **auctioned** in the **player-to-player Free Market** at any point in time, where every player determines the price and value of the seed of their hard work.

* **Item NFTs** have no production limit. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Resources</mark>

Resources will mainly be standard fungible tokens that are used to provide a way for players to mint Item NFTs.  Resources can also have stored value depending on the supply and demand of the game economy.  &#x20;

* **Resources** are collected or minted by fighting **monsters**, gathering, doing **quests**, running **dungeons**, and buying from **in-game shops**. &#x20;

* **Resources** do not add any special stats or abilities to players.  They simply have a description that describes what exactly they are. &#x20;
* **Resources** have no max supply. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Consumables</mark>

**Consumable** tokens are usable assets in the game.  They are fungible tokens that serves a very specific purpose.  **Consumables** can be things like **HP potions**, **MP potions**, **Stamina potions**, **buff potions**, **de-buff potions**, and **food**. &#x20;

* Each **consumable** can only be used once.  After that, the token gets burned. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Land</mark>

**Land NFTs** will play a big role in the ecosystem as it will allow features such as **mini-games**, **mini-maps**, and **territory economy** to be created. &#x20;

* Territory economy means that players who own the land can decide how resources is handled in the land.  They can charge fees for others to collect resources in their turf and such. &#x20;
* **Minted Lands** can be **sold** or **auctioned** in the **player-to-player Free Market** at any point in time, where every player determines the price and value of the seed of their hard work.

* Lands will likely be the least amount of **NFTs** offered in the ecosystem at the start.  As the game progresses, more land will be available on other **Islands** as well. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Transferred store of value</mark>

* **Item NFTs** have no production limit. &#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2897141509-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEde2XkyMG5XJDd3SkEab%2Fuploads%2FX4Mcyu8efwGb76gD83WL%2FPreview_ch11.png?alt=media&amp;token=2456e601-140e-4457-88d4-2802734cfde1" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p>Meet Our Free Market NPC</p></figcaption></figure></div>

We are sure you have heard that **NFTs** have what is called, a transferred store of value, that guarantee uniqueness and truly allow individuals to own and store that value.  But often times the reality is, “If there is no real use for it, isn’t it just a piece of digital data?"  This has been a very gray area in the **blockchain** industry, and we believe anyone can create a solid **NFT** project with the right goal and solution. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">How We Plan to Store Value</mark>

Our team will use our resources to develop what is called the **ZTI (Zombie Turtle Island) SDK**.  This protocol and toolkit will essentially allow any developer/hobbyist to build on top of our protocol and use every **NFT** that flows in our ecosystem for their project. &#x20;

**Zombie Turtle Island** is only one of the many Islands that exists in this immersive Virtual World.  We believe in doing so, we will allow the community to contribute to the growth of the project.  Let’s imagine a world with unlimited possibilities.  In a world where you are the creator, you can determine the value of everything that exists in your world.&#x20;


# How to Earn

## <mark style="color:blue;">Buy zTURT</mark>

**zTURT** is our ecosystem token that powers the entire platform from the top down.  It is essentially owning a share of this community driven project. &#x20;

There are several streams of revenue for owning **zTURT**. &#x20;

1. **zTURT Buy backs** driven by the minting of **Hero NFTs** and fees from the **player to player Free Market**.  The buy back protocol buys and burns **zTURT**.  This will essentially drive the price up, and gives you a chance to profit from selling after a long hold. &#x20;
2. **Activate Shareholder Status**:  You can activate your shareholder status by staking the token in the platform.  All revenue driven from the minting of **Hero NFTs** and fees collected via **Free Market**, will be shared with you proportional to the amount of shares you own. &#x20;
   * **For Example**:  If minting a **NFT Hero** cost $30 and today we had 10,000 **NFTs** that were minted, that is a total of $300,000.&#x20;
   * 20% of that ($60k) would be donated to the [**Sea Turtle conservancy**](https://conserveturtles.org/) organization.&#x20;
   * 20% ($60k) would be allocated to buy back **zTURT** from the **DEX**. &#x20;
   * 60% ($180K) would be shared with all the Shareholders.  For example, if you owned 10% of the shares, you would have made $18k in one day. &#x20;
   * We have not even counted the **Free Market Fees** either. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Mint Hero and Start Playing</mark>

The easiest way to earn is by simply **minting your NFT Heroes and start playing**.

1. **Invest time into playing** your Heroes to power and level them up.  This will drive their value. &#x20;
2. Play your heroes to **craft and forge unique Items** that can be sold to other players. &#x20;
3. **Collect resources** to forge items or sell your resources to others. &#x20;
4. Earn **ztCOIN** by doing menial tasks like fighting mobs, doing quests, running dungeons, etc.  Then you can mint **zTURT** by swapping your **ztCOIN** and become a Shareholder. &#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">More Utility and Wealth TBA</mark>

This is a new and evolving world.  There are vast oceans of wealth to be explored; one journey at a time. &#x20;
