👋Whitepaper for Shogun Universe
(also known as Shoguniverse) - updated September 11, 2024
Shogun Coin on Sol + Shogun Boy Game + Shogun Boy animation + Coloring book + Etsy Store + Dividend Program + LLC
Overview
The Shoguniverse is a collection of products/features revolving around the Solana network's $Shogun Coin token. Also known as the Shogun Digital Company.
The main components are:
The Shogun coin - Lord Toranaga's Coin token (launched on May 17, 2024)
Shogun Boy 2D, which is a platformer game similar to Super Mario for Mobile and Desktop (demo available here: https://shogunboy.itch.io/)
Shogun Boy Adventures, an animation show on Amazon Prime (to be launched)
The Shogun Boy colouring book and activities for all ages. The book will be available on Amazon soon.
The Shogun Collectibles Etsy Store (to be launched in 2025)
The Executive Dividend Program.
The Shoguniverse LLC.
The Token
The token was launched as a fan token following the show SHOGUN on Disney+, Hulu and FX. It was meant to be a token to support the show and its cast. After the show's success and its adoption by the community, we decided to add more features to make it more robust and favourable to invest in.
It was listed right away on DexScreener and Coingecko. We are still waiting for other marketplaces to process the rest of the submissions. [ we will add them here as we receive the acceptance email]
Technical information
Total minted = 1,000,000,000
Total in circulation = 990,000,000
Token lost (due to wrong address) = 10,000,000
The liquidity pool was funded with 9 SOL and 800M Shogun Tokens.
The remaining 190M were distributed between the DEV, Pre-sale Investors, Marketing and Airdrop bag.
After giving away all the airdrop tokens, we will update the figure here.
Pre-sale
We did a pre-sale some tokens to investors to help to fund the Liquidity Pool. There were 10 investors that brought 11 SOL. Two SOL were used to pay for DexScreener and the fees for minting, etc. The remaining 9 SOL went into the liquidity pool.
The game
The purpose of the game is two-fold. One is to bring more attention from other markets into the Shoguniverse, and the second is to get extra income for the holders of the Shoguniverse dividend program (more on later). For this reason, a free version of the game is already available as a demohttps://shogunboy.itch.io/.
The paid version will take longer to develop, but during that time, we will generate more buzz and expect to take pre-orders for the game.
The paid game will be launched on Steam, Android Marketplace and Amazon Play Store. We will consider launching it on iPhone if required (Apple developers must complete a series of requirements before submitting a game plus a membership FEE).
The style of the game is a 2D platformer such as Super Mario Bros.
Hiroki is the character's name, and he is a boy samurai. Hiroki's mission will be to explore Kuso Island (クソ島) and eliminate all the meme characters that invaded the island.
Meme Coin Island, where he will encounter different meme coin pets.
Domain Names
On July 26, 2024, we purchased two more domain names for the project. These are shoguniverse.com and shogunboy.com. They are not set up yet but we decided to register them before someone else will.
The Animation
The animation will be a humorous series about the same idea as the game. Hiroki will meet with different Meme Coin Pets, such as Pepe, and funny situations will happen. The purpose is to exploit the game's popularity and the token and generate income. It will be available on Amazon Prime at the beginning.
The Coloring Book
We decided to recycle all the original art we created for the game and animation into a new product: a colouring book. The cost of producing the book is minimal as all the assets are already made. We will use Amazon services to print on demand, so we don't carry any stock.
We will inject all the revenue from the book into a new liquidity pool every time we reach USD 500 in sales. The burning of the LP token will happen right after.
The Shogun Community Digital Company (or Shoguniverse LLC)
It is a community of people who work together to create an online company. I call this a Digital Community Company.
The purpose of this company is to generate income for its members via different digital products.
We will create a freelancer hub where people can submit their work for consideration for publication under our brand.
Community members with artistic skills are encouraged to apply as freelancers or help with publications to support the project.
Once we have enough digital products, the earnings will be enough to share as a dividend. It will take some time to reach the level where we get consistent income, but it is possible if we all work towards that goal.
The Executive Dividend Program.
It is a system that periodically rewards loyal members with money/tokens.
To become an ExecutiveSamurai (The executive member), one must maintain a balance of 10 million $Shogun coins in a registered wallet at all times. The grace period is 29 days. After that, the member will be unregistered and lose the ability to receive dividends.
The purpose of this group is to protect our price floor. Having members with a considerable amount of tokens guarantees the price will remain stable. This is the same as having whales safeguarding the project. At the same time, the executive member will have voting power and will receive dividends in exchange.
To apply for this program send a DM @Shoguncoin on X or join our TG: https://t.me/shogunsolcoin for more information.
How can I implement the dividend concept on a token such as the $Shogun coin? My idea is to create software to read each registered wallet and check if they hold the $Shogun coin. It will also establish a look-back 30 days algorithm to ensure that the holder bought the $Shogun coin 30 days ago and kept a minimum balance. If these conditions are met, the holder will receive the dividend immediately.
The amount of coins that will be received will depend on how many coins the holder has in their wallet.
The Telegram Community
The Shogun community aims to empower each individual and give them the confidence to expand our project. As a community member, you are responsible for participating in discussions, making friends, sharing our project on social media, and bringing new ideas for new digital products.
We guarantee that each of the members will be treated respectfully. Members not following our guidelines will be banned from the group.
The LLC
The Shoguniverse LLC will be created later to improve the dividend system and to manage all the digital assets and future employees and freelancers.
The purpose of the Shoguniverse is to join these features together and generate income for the stakeholders. The LLC will manage the dividend sharing, among other things.
The project will continually evolve as the LLC finds more ways to generate income.
The Limited Liability Corporation will manage the game sales and animation. Depending on demand, we will issue t-shirts, mugs, etc.
The Shogun Collectibles Etsy Store
We will set up a digital store where people can buy ready-to-print digital files such as posters, letterheads, cards, stickers, etc. We may offer on-demand t-shirts, caps, and mug printing using a third-party provider.
Marketing Efforts
For marketing, we use X, Telegram, Facebook, and TikTok.
Here's a list of the links:
Telegram: https://t.me/shogunsolcoin
The general strategies are sharing new and original posts with influencers on X , attending live streams and making comments to attract more followers. We use the ATMBot for raids, which rewards raiders with the Shogun coin. The raiders re-post and add influencers to the posts. Or they make comments on new influencers' posts. We also recently created a Space on X (a live cast with participation), which has already had twelve episodes done.
For TikTok, we create original videos about the token's performance, the Shogun Boy game, or related market news.
For Facebook, we re-post our X tweets on fan pages and on our main page.
We also promote via DMs on Telegram and call channels and groups. There is also a referral contest where referrers to the group get SOL in exchange for bringing new users to the group.
We are trying to keep costs minimal and rely on organic growth. In this way, we can support the project for a long time. The organic growth is already noticeable thanks to our community, which reposts, replies, and likes our posts. They are also bringing friends to the project.
We also found that the meme contests bring more people and eyes to the project. The meme contests are free as we use the Airdrop bag to reward the winners.
Costs
The project costs about USD 600 per month, including X and Telegram membership fees and moderators fees. Those are the only fixed costs that this project has right now, as I mainly chose a strategy that would last for a longer-term instead of a hyped-fast strategy that could have gotten us to the million mcap during launch but would only last a few days. By using a low-budget strategy, I can guarantee a longer commitment and give the project enough time to grow organically.
Summary
This white paper is updated frequently to reflect the status of the project. The end goal will be to generate income by selling the game, the colouring book, the animation, and other digital products produced by the Shogun Digital Company.
