Nitro League

Lore

The World

The year is 3050. The world has evolved and progressed into a very optimistic future. There were no apocalyptic events in the past. Technology is the best we can envision, which includes buildings, power & energy supply, and preservation of nature (greenery). Public transport vehicles are all self-driving and mostly flying. Land space on earth is usually used for nature (plants, animals, water bodies, etc.)

The Racing Fever

Communities are productive and wealthy with all necessities of life taken care of (food, water, power, education, etc.). People work only to support their hobbies. Needless to say, the most hard-working people are the ones with luxurious hobbies (i.e. collecting cars), and the most well-paid jobs are to fuel these hobbies (i.e. car racing). There are no roads on land like in 2020. Car racing is one of the main sports in 3050 (similar to horse racing in 2020).

The City Of Racing

The city of Ethermoor hosts the biggest racing events in the universe. The ancient city was created by racing enthusiasts and is built to promote the racing craze for the entire universe. Status, power, honor, and wealth are now earned through racing in the grand Nitro arena. In the middle of the city lies the main attraction, the grand racing arena. The best place in the universe to witness innovative cars and thrilling races. Drivers from around the world dream of getting a chance to race at the grand arena.

Society Structure

The known universe in 3050 is ruled by “The Supreme Six”. These 6 nations have managed to live in harmony for centuries with an understanding of each other’s differences. Any disputes that do arise are settled the old fashion way - a well-executed sports tournament. The most popular of these sports is car racing, and the best events are hosted in the city of Ethermoor at the Nitro Arena.

The players are divided into clans that are part of a nation. Nations are known for their unique racing skills and technology. There can be any number of clans in each nation registered by real-world Nitro Elders. To race in the Nitro League, players must join a clan. Players are rewarded a badge (rank system) by the clan based on their Reputation Points (RP). Players can switch nations or clans at any time; however, switching nations or clans have consequences (like losing nation/clan-specific attribute bonuses and locations).

When players win matches, they earn RP from the matches and lose it when they don't perform. If the player reaches a certain tier/rank and stops playing the game, there would be a decay in RP which would be demoting the player’s account to help other active players reach higher tiers.

Collectables

Cars

Nitro League offers some of the most exotic futuristic NFT cars the world has ever seen. All cars in our game universe are built for racing and can be traded in real-world NFT marketplaces. The designs are inspired by different eras, starting from the year 2020 up to the year 3050.

The value of any car can be gauged by its rarity - Common, Uncommon, Rare, Special, and Legendary. Common cars are cheaper to buy and don't perform as well in races; whereas, rare cars are produced in lesser numbers, are more expensive, and perform better in races. Players can customize their cars for the race conditions with different components to influence the outcome of the computer-simulated races.

Classes

There are 6 main car classes derived from the unique talent and technologies offered by “the Supreme Six” nations. Each class comes with its unique advantage on the race track giving attribute bonuses for Reputation, Speed, Acceleration, Handling, and Durability.

ALPHA CLASS

Produced during the year 1900 to 2020, this class includes 4-wheel vehicles that are street, sports, rally, and drag cars. These are the original designs, the leaders of the pack, that inspired all the models to follow for years to come. The cars in this class have been winning for over a thousand years, breeding confidence, and naturally gaining people's trust. The designs have been extremely charismatic, charming, and intimidating on the race tracks since the beginning. This class is suited for the strong-willed who believe that nothing can stand in their way.

Reputation: ★★★★★

Speed: ★★★★☆

Acceleration: ★★★★☆

Handling: ★★★☆☆

Durability: ★★★★☆

BETA CLASS

Produced during the year 1950 to 2050, this class includes 4-wheel vehicles that are street, sports, rally, and drag cars. Although very similar to Alpha class vehicles, Beta class vehicles were designed to be safer, stronger, and long-lasting with exceptionally better handling. They are friendlier looking on the race track, and not as intimidating; hence, overshadowed by the reputation of Alpha class. This class is suited for reserved players who believe that defense is their best offense.

Reputation: ★★★☆☆

Speed: ★★★★☆

Acceleration: ★★★★☆

Handling: ★★★★★

Durability: ★★★★☆

GAMMA CLASS

Produced during the year 2500 to 3050, this class includes 2 to 3 wheel vehicles that are rocket, bike, and bullet-style. These vehicles are made for adventurous journeys and constant exploration. They possess the capability to create their own path on the race tracks due to their slim size and skillful aero-dynamics. The vehicles in this class are fully aware of their surroundings and can make quick moves to stun their opponents. These vehicles are vulnerable to being pushed around by other classes due to their lightweight design. This class is suited for independent players who believe in quick take-offs and always rush to the finish line while keeping their distance from other racers.

Reputation: ★★★★☆

Speed: ★★★★☆

Acceleration: ★★★★★

Handling: ★★★★☆

Durability: ★★★☆☆

OMEGA CLASS

Produced since the year 3000, this class includes hover vehicles that are street, sports, and muscle cars. This class hasn’t been around for a long time, but it has the fastest vehicles the world has ever seen. The hover cars are the most technologically advanced piece of machinery ever invented and can withstand any criticism from old-timers about having no wheels. Having so much speed does give them a slight disadvantage in terms of their poor handling on the race tracks. With artificial intelligence controlling most functions, the vehicles in this class are the most calculated and evolved on the race track. This class is suited for the self-assured nerds who are driven by performance and enjoy the action more than the rewards.

Reputation: ★★★★☆

Speed: ★★★★★

Acceleration: ★★★★☆

Handling: ★★★☆☆

Durability: ★★★★☆

DELTA CLASS

Produced since the year 2020, this class includes F1-style vehicles that are 4-wheelers, 3-wheelers, 2-wheelers, and hover cars. These vehicles have been around for as long as the Alpha class and produced up to recent times (year 3050); however, their looks have not been changed very much, making them very deceptive on the race track. They are very agile when racing and can overtake opponents in the blink of an eye. To prove their mad skills; however, they are self-sabotaging by nature. Even the slightest nudge from any other class can make them go flying off the race track. This class is suited for the old-timers who believe that F1 cars are the best thing that ever happened to racing.

Reputation: ★★★★☆

Speed: ★★★★★

Acceleration: ★★★★☆

Handling: ★★★☆☆

Durability: ★★★★☆

SIGMA CLASS

Produced in the year 3000, this class includes 4-wheel vehicles that are street, sports, rally, muscle, and drag cars. Although fairly new, the reputation of vehicles in this class is a rockstar and is thought to surpass that of Alpha class in the future. Similar to the Omega class, Sigma is also the most technologically advanced class in the world. The vehicles are known for their artificial intelligence providing very calculated and evolved skills on the race tracks. Sigma has come up with some of the most exotic futuristic car designs the world has ever seen, along with the most well-balanced racing attributes. This class is suited for the cunning racers who are confident in their skills and don’t like playing by the rules.

Reputation: ★★★★☆

Speed: ★★★★☆

Acceleration: ★★★★☆

Handling: ★★★★☆

Durability: ★★★★☆

Drivers

Nitro League offers a wide selection of drivers to choose from. Selecting the right driver for a race is just as important as the car to win any event. Players can own multiple drivers (NFTs) in their inventory and choose the one best suited for each race.

Driver traits set them apart from each other and affect the outcome of the race. These traits include passion, confidence, mood, reaction time, and risk-taking. The more you train with a driver, the better they perform in races. Drivers do get tired which affects their mood inversely, so players can relax their drivers by taking them to a spa or club.

Land

Owning land on Nitro Prime is a revenue-generating business. This is because a portion of the revenue generated from the races that take place on an island is distributed to the landowners of that island. The more land plots you own, the more revenue you earn per race. There are 6 islands on the planet offering a total of 60,200 land NFTs in different sizes and locations.

Land NFTs will be available for sale in drops of 500-1,000 plots. The genesis drop of Land NFTs for one of the islands is scheduled for release this summer.

Land is a very valuable NFT item that allows for flexible ways of earning money based on the interests of the land owner. Following are some of the ways a land NFT can be utilized:

• RACE EARNINGS: A portion of the revenue earned from the races on the island will go to the landowners of the island. A higher stake of land will result in higher returns. 
• RESERVED SPOTS IN RACING EVENTS: Owning land will give you access to reserved slots in each event. 
• EXCLUSIVE LAND OWNER RACES: There will be special events that only landowners can participate in. 
• IN-GAME SERVICES: Landowners can provide services for in-game activities. For example, players can take their drivers to relax at the communal spaces. 
• CAR SHOWROOMS: Landowners can sell digital or real-world assets through their land. Landowners can sell NFT assets from famous content creators by organizing events on their land and keep commission on the sales. 
• SOCIAL EVENTS (CAR MEETS): Landowners can organize social events (hangout places). For example, concerts, car meets, weddings, streamer events, parties, etc. ADVERTISING: Landowners can run advertisements from sponsors. 
• RENT: Landowners can rent out their land or properties if they don’t want to manage the activities for monetizing the land themselves. 
• RETAIL SERVICES: Landowners can create stores and charge a fee for special avatar and car customization services like tire shops, paint shops, repair shops, hair salons, clothing stores, etc.

Buildings

Cribs

Players can purchase buildings and structures to personalize their living space. There are several types of customizable building NFTs available in Nitro Prime. The type of building you can place on the land depends entirely on how big your plot is.

• Small plots can accommodate small houses, condos, lodges, garages, etc. 
• Medium plots can accommodate large villas, small stores, car museums, etc. 
• Large plots can accommodate apartment complexes, guild towers, resorts, etc.

Communal Spaces

Communal Space provides common services to the players for relaxation, fitness, socialization, etc. Communal spaces are owned by guilds and clans, who will charge a fee for their services. The initial communal spaces that will be released on the Nitro Prime will include clubhouses, pool areas, fitness centers, game rooms, concert halls, shopping malls, parks, etc.

Landmarks

There are 82 unique landmark NFTs that will be released in the game. Guilds, clans, or players can own landmarks. Land closer to famous landmarks will have a higher value. Landmarks will consist of monuments, castles, bridges, observation points, and other architectural wonders. These landmarks once existed on Earth and have been transported to Nitro Prime in their ruined state as a reminder for the importance of peace. Some of the landmarks you will find in the game are Eiffel tower, Burj al Arab, Colosseum, Statue of liberty, Taj Mahal, Leaning Tower of Pisa, etc.

Factories

Production factories will truly decentralize the game by letting the community build the Nitro world. Factories will be owned by players or guilds to produce their own NFT assets including cars, drivers, props, tracks, buildings, etc. There will be a total of 200 factory plots on Nitro Prime. You can get access to a factory by directly purchasing the plot or leasing it for a fixed period of time.

Production limits are controlled by distribution of production tokens. Landowners are rewarded production tokens for taking part in various activities in the game. These production tokens can be traded with Factory owners to increase their production capacity. Factory owners will be able to monetize through the initial sale of their NFTs, transaction fees, sponsorships, transportation fees, fusion fees, and much more.
