THE FARMING LOOP

HOW IT
WORKS

Five cards. A changing set of demands. Your job is to farm with what the decentralized entropy randomness protocol (DERP) gives you.

STEP 01

CONNECT YOUR FARMER

Connect your wallet and DERP FARMS identifies your Farmer. Your Farmer represents your farm and becomes your identity inside the game.

UNDER THE SOIL

The Farmer NFT provides the identity that DERP FARMS associates with the connected wallet. The game uses that identity to determine which farm is being played.

🌾
STEP 02

GENERATE YOUR HARVEST

Generate a fresh five-card hand of basic farm resources. Every hand gives you a different set of possibilities.

UNDER THE SOIL

DERP FARMS uses the entropy output provided by DERP to determine the randomized resource output for the Farmer's hand.

📋
STEP 03

READ DERP WORLD ORDER

The DERP World Order tells you what products are currently needed. Look at the orders and figure out which ones your harvest can fulfill.

UNDER THE SOIL

DERP World acts as the activity terminal for the game. Its current demands establish the products that farmers can attempt to fulfill.

🥖
STEP 04

CRAFT PRODUCTS

Combine the resources in your harvest to create larger farm products. The challenge is making the most of the five resources you were given.

UNDER THE SOIL

Crafting follows defined resource recipes. The resources selected from the Farmer's hand are evaluated against the recipe requirements for the requested product.

🚚
STEP 05

SHIP PRODUCTS

Send your finished product to DERP World. The goal is to fulfill as much of the current demand as your harvest allows.

UNDER THE SOIL

A completed craft becomes a submission to the DERP World order system. The eventual shipping and verification mechanism will determine whether the submitted product satisfies the active requirement.

💰
STEP 06

EARN DERP

Successful shipments earn rewards. The better you use your harvest to satisfy DERP World's needs. the more productive your farm becomes the more DERP Vault rewards are distributed to the Farmer's wallet.

UNDER THE SOIL

Rewards are tied to successful fulfillment of DERP World demands. The exact reward mechanics will be defined by the final DERP FARMS implementation.

THE TECHNOLOGY

WHAT POWERS THE FARM

DERP FARMS is intentionally simple on the surface. Underneath, several pieces work together to create the game loop.

🎲

DERP ENTROPY

Provides the entropy used to generate randomized resource outputs.

👨‍🌾

FARMER NFT

Represents the farm and connects the player to their game identity.

🌾

RESOURCES

Basic resources become the building blocks for crafted products.

📋

DERP WORLD

Provides the active demands that give the resources and crafting system its purpose.

FARM → CRAFT → SHIP

Every hand is different. The strategy is deciding what to do with it.
