1. What is Blockchain?
What are Solana and the XRPL?
A blockchain is a type of distributed ledger technology (DLT) that consists of a growing list of records, called blocks, that are securely linked together using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. The timestamp proves that the transaction data existed when the block was created. Since each block contains information about the previous block, they effectively form a chain, with each additional block linking to the ones before it. Consequently, blockchain transactions are irreversible in that, once they are recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without altering all subsequent blocks. (source Wikipedia)
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralised public blockchain known for being fast, economical and reliable. It is open source, available for all to build on and maintained by the community. The XRPL is capable of processing thousands of transaction per second with fees of a fraction of a penny per transaction. The XRPL also has features an in-built multi currency Decentralised Exchange (Dex) that allows for peer-to-peer transactions in any token listed on the XRPL. (source xrpl.org)

Solana is a highly functional open source project that implements a new, permission less and highspeed
layer-1 blockchain. Created in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, a former executive at Qualcomm, Solana aims to scale throughput beyond what is typically achieved by popular blockchains while keeping costs low. Solana implements an innovative hybrid consensus model that combines a unique proof-of-history (PoH) algorithm with the lightning-fast synchronization engine, which is a version of proof-of-stake (PoS). Because of this, the Solana network can theoretically process over 710,000 transactions per second (TPS) without any scaling solutions needed. Solana’s third-generation blockchain architecture is designed to facilitate smart contracts and decentralized application (DApp) creation. The project supports an array of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms as well as nonfungible token (NFT) marketplaces. (source cointelegraph.com)

2. What is an NFT?
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided, that is recorded in a blockchain, and that is used to certify authenticity and ownership. The ownership of an NFT is recorded in the blockchain and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded. NFTs typically contain references to digital files such as text, photos, videos and audio. Because NFTs are uniquely identifiable assets, they differ from cryptocurrencies, which are fungible.

4. XRDonkeys Major Collections
XRDonkeys launched in December 2021, prior to the introduction of NFTs being supported by the XRPL. As a result, IOU tokens were created for the first two collections, DONKY and ASS, with 1 token = 1 NFT upon redemption. With the adoption of the XLS20 protocol, these IOU tokens were able to be redeemed for minted NFTs. IOU tokens were discontinued on 31/03/23, meaning randomly allocated NFTs can now be purchased for XRP directly. The third major collection release, Mrs Donkey, did not use an IOU token and instead will be available to be bought directly with XRP.

4.1 Major Collection 1: DONKY IOU token and DONKY NFT
DONKY was the IOU token for the first XRDonkeys major collection of 10k NFTs. These feature our base character Herbert in a number of his personas, with every NFT having a different combination of traits in varying degrees of rarity. After setting the trustline for DONKY, tokens could be bought and sold on the XRPL Dex, or exchanged for a randomly allocated NFT from the collection by redeeming tokens at xmart.art. 1 DONKY = 1 NFT
All Donky IOU Tokens have now seized
Tokens burned as at 02/01/23: 787 (all tokens from redeemed NFTs have been burned) In delivering passive income to our holders, DONKY tokens could be used for self-custodial ‘staking/stayking’ on both Xpad (xpadapps.com) and Staykx (staykx.com). Self-custodial ‘staking/stayking’ are a rewards distribution method where holders of the token will receive daily airdrops based on either the value or number of tokens they have staked/stayked. This method of reward distribution means that your tokens never leave your wallet and you can buy and sell them as you see fit – there is no transfer of tokens and no lock-up period. By having selfcustodial double staking the same tokens could be used to gain rewards from both platforms, with the bonus tokens compounding the rewards for both pools. Staking/stayking requires some use of the native tokens of the respective platforms, JANGA and STX for Xpad and Staykx respectively. More information on these self-custodial rewards options can be obtained from the respective platform websites. Token staking ended when NFT stayking became available. During the period of double token staking/stayking, over 700 tokens were distributed to our holders, with a value at the time of approximately 35,000 XRP. DONKY tokens were discontinued at the end of March 2023, with NFTs now being able to be purchased directly for XRP on Xmart.art. DONKY NFTs are currently staykable for XRP on Staykx.com with half of the 10% royalty on all XRDonkeys NFTs being periodically airdropped back to NFT holders via daily rewards airdrops. XRP rewards amounts will vary depending on trading volume and price of XRDonkeys NFTs, as well as the total number of NFTs being stayked. DONKY NFT stayking also rewards holders the CaRRots utility token. These tokens can be traded on the Dex or can be used in an increasing number of use cases (refer to the CaRRots section of the whitepaper for use cases and mechanics). To receive the full possible rewards via stayking, the NFTs must be fully paired with their weighted XRP value of STX. Rarer NFTs have a higher weighting and yield proportionally more rewards on a sliding scale up, with the rarer the NFT, the more potential rewards can be obtained. DONKY NFTs will also have additonal utility in the future as part of the Donkeyville Play to Earn game that is currently under development. NFTs will be able to be used as upgradeable/customizable playable character game skins and holding them will be the mechanism that allows players to earn CaRRots tokens in the game. As part of the game, the DONKY 10k major collection will also feature as part of the upcoming breeding program that will incorporate the upcoming Mrs Donkey NFT series which will be released as the third XRDonkeys major collection in May 2023. Refer to the Donkeyville section of this whitepaper for more information on game utility and NFT breeding.

4.2 Major Collection 2:
ASS IOU token and ASS NFT
ASS was the IOU token for the second major XRDonkeys collection of 1k NFTs of Junior Donkeys, featuring Herbert’s two teenage sons as the base characters with traits in varying degrees of rarity. After setting the trustline for ASS, tokens could be bought and sold on the Dex, or exchanged for a randomly allocated NFT from the collection by redeeming tokens at Xmart.art.

ASS IOU Tokens have now seized
Passive income and utility:
ASS NFTs are staykable for XRP on Staykx.com with half of the 10% royalty on the NFT being airdropped back to NFT holders via daily rewards airdrops. XRP rewards amounts will vary depending on trading volume and price of the ASS NFTs in the collection, as well as the total number of NFTs being stayked. ASS NFTs also yield rewards in our utility token CaRRots with higher rewards based on rarity in a sliding scale up to the top ranked NFT. ASS NFTs will have future utility as upgradeable game skins in the Donkeyville play to earn game XRDonkeys are currently developing for future release. Holding ASS NFTs will also be a mechanism for obtaining a discount in CaRRots required for the upcoming breeding program that will utility the DONKY major collection NFTs and the Mrs Donkey collection. In transitioning away from the use of the IOU token, the team will no longer be selling any more ASS tokens into the market. Current holders of the ASS IOU token have until the end of February 2023 to exchange their tokens for spins on Xmart. After this date, NFTs will be sold directly for XRP.

4.3 Major Collection 3:
Mrs Donkey
Mrs Donkey is the third major collection XRDonkeys collection with a scheduled release date of 01/05/23. Mrs Donkey features 8k female donkey character NFTs that will be released in a number of stages of 250 NFT per stage, each featuring a different theme.

Passive income and utility:
Mrs Donkey NFTs can be stayked for XRP on staykx.com, with half of the 10% royalty being returned to holders, depending on secondary trading volume. Mrs Donkey NFTs also can be stayked for our utility token CaRROts. Mrs Donkey NFTs will also be able to be used as game skins for our Donkeyville Play to Earn game that is currently under development. Holding a Mrs Donkey and a Herbert NFT and spending CaRRots will allow the breeding of Baby Donkey NFTs, which is intended to be our first 3D collection and will have game utility and statistics encoded into their metadata.

5. XRDonkeys XLS14 NFTs
Over the course of 2022, XRDonkeys released a small number of XRPL first-generation minted XLS14 NFTs on the Sologenic marketplace in a number of highly limited special collections and one of a kind NFTs. With the adoption of the XLS20 these first generation XRPL NFTs were converted to XLS20 allowing them to be traded on any of the marketplaces where XRPL NFTs can be listed. The converted NFTs retain their provenance in the metadata as some of the earliest examples of XRPL NFTs, making them collectable in their own right.

XLS14 Special collections released are:
Sologenic Collection 1: 12 NFTs
Sologenic Collection 2: 24 NFTs
Zombie Donkeys: 9 NFTs
Super Rares: 10 NFTs
King Herbert Series: 5 NFTs
Gabriel the Vampire Donkey: 52 NFTs
Double Trouble: 2 NFTs
One offs: 5 NFTs
Collab Poker Prize NFTs: 6 NFTs
Total XLS14 NFTs = 125

Passive Income:
With the caveat that conversion must have been done by the XRDonkeys team to reflect the correct issuing address, all XLS14 to XLS20 converted XRDonkeys NFTs are staykable for XRP on Staykx.com with half of the 10% royalty on NFTs being airdropped back to NFT holders via daily rewards airdrops. XRP rewards amounts will vary depending on trading volume and price of XRDonkeys NFTs, as well as the total number of NFTs being stayked and paired with STX. Converted XLS14 NFTs can also be stayked for rewards of our utility token CaRRots. The rarer NFTs carry a higher STX weighting and are eligible to receive proportionally more stayking rewards. Gabriel the Vampire Donkey NFTs also have a secret utility that will be revealed in the near future.

6. XRDonkeys XLS20 NFTs
With the adoption of the XLS20 protocol that allows support for NFTs on the XRPL, XRDonkeys have to date released two special XLS20 collections. The first is a set of 50 Christmas-themed Herberts available for purchase on Xmart.art. This special collection can only be bought using our utility token at the price of 500k CaRRots per NFT. The second is a Special Collection of 10 CaRRots OG NFTs that were given as a thank you for the top 10 buyers in the IDO of our CaRROts token. Like all other XRDonkeys NFTs, both the Christmas Donkeys and the CaRRots OGs can be stayked for both XRP and CaRRots. The Christmas Donkeys will also have utility as game skins in the upcoming Donkeyville Play to Earn game.

7. SOLDonkeys Solana NFTs
SOLDonkeys launched in January 2023 and will feature a series of limited edition Solana NFT collections. 5% of all NFT sales will be sent to our chosen donkey charity “Oscar’s Place” where rescued donkeys are given a happy and safe home. (www.oscarsplace.org)

7.1 Solana Collection 1:
Vampire Sol Donkeys – SOLD OUT
This collection is a highly limited collection of 5 NFTs that were minted as a test when the project developers were familiarising themselves with the Solana Blockchain and Candy Machine. This collection featured the popular XRDonkeys NFT character of Gabriel the Vampire Donkey and quickly sold out.
https://magiceden.io/marketplace/xrdonkeys_sol

7.2 Solana Collection 2: Pirate ASS-Sols
This was the first of the limited edition, themed collections launched on the Solana blockchain. Consisting of 250 NFTs, this collection features Hubert the Pirate Donkey at the start of his quest to find his twin brother Herbert. 50 whitelist spots were be made available to community members, with recipients receiving a token that entitled them to mint an NFT at a discounted price.

7.3. ASS-Sol NFT Utilities
The team will continually work towards adding more utility for our NFT holders as the opportunity and budget of the project allows. Initially the utility of ASS-Sol NFTs will consist of membership into the ASS-Sol Club, an exclusive community for holders of any of the project’s Solana NFTs. Community members who
hold 2 or more NFTs will also receive the option of creating a personalized email address (eg HubertDonkey@Ass-sol.club). Holding 2 NFTs will entitle holders to a 100MB mailbox, holding 5 NFTs will entitle holders to a 2GB mailbox.
We intend to introduce a parallel CaRRots utility token on the Solana blockchain that will be able to be used in the XRPL XRDonkeys ecosystem via the use of a cross-chain bridge. We also intend for our Solana NFTs to be able to be used as game skins in our Donkeyville Play to Earn game by use of a similar mechanism. Future planned utility also includes a cross-chain NFT breeding program that will produce a unique NFT series that also features gaming utility. For the first Ass-Sols collection, all NFT purchasers will be entered into the draw to win a year’s subscription to ‘Adopt a Donkey’ through one of our chosen Donkey charities. We may feature more donkey adoptions as prizes as the project budget allows for it.

8. CaRRots Utility Token (XRPL)
As the project grew we decided to introduce a utility token what would serve as both a reward token for our holders, as well as a stand alone cryptocurrency with a number of use cases. We planted a very large supply of CaRRots and then blackholed the account. This was done so that weekly rewards will continue for years into the future. We’re here for the long-term, since it’s a marathon, not a sprint. CaRRots will only ever be released into circulation in a controlled manner. We also burn a percentage of the circulating supply used in transactions.

CaRRots Tokenomics:

Total Supply: 100B
The tokens will be distributed gradually over many years with the following breakdown:

Marketing and Promotions: 5B
You will be able to win free CaRRots in our regular discord games and giveaways for years to come.
IDO: 20 Million (from Team wallet)
An IDO was conducted from Friday 7th October 2022 to Friday 21st October 2022 at an introductory price of 0.001 XRP, then the sell wall was removed and the token allowed to trade freely.
Team: 10B
All team tokens apart from the IDO amount were locked until October 31st 2022 when XLS20 went live. Team tokens unlock at 10% of the allocation per year for 10 years. The team supply will be used to fund operations, as well as cover expenses such as staking platform fees where required, as well as funding items such as merchandise.

Deflationary Transactional Burn Mechanism:
CaRRotS is designed to be deflationary over the longer term as each purchase made in CaRRots will be distributed 80% to team operations wallet, 20% burned.
CaRRots Use Cases:
The uses cases for CaRRots will multiple to start with, and steadily increasing over time as we build upon our utility token foundation. Some of these have already been implemented, others will be available soon, some will take a significant time to fund, source and create. This utility token is a long term project within XRDonkeys.  The use cases that have been delivered to date include being able to use CaRRots to bid in in-house auctions and enter competitions. We have also made our special collection of Christmas Donkeys
available to purchase exclusively using the CaRRots token. Future uses cases that are planned include using CaRRots to compose and purchase customXRDonkeys NFTs in our under construction Custom NFT Studio, which will feature never before seen traits in limited quantities available for selection. You will even be able to create a one-off background for your NFT using your own artwork!

CaRRots will also have utility in the future Donkey Breeding Program, where holders of a Herbert NFT and a Mrs Donkey (major collection 3) will be able to redeem CaRRots to obtain a Baby Donkey NFT (major collection 4).

CaRRots will also be the token used for our upcoming P2E Donkeyville game that will be a stand alone product with the capacity to earn made available to NFT holders. Players will be able to earn CaRRots by playing the game, which can then be used to upgrade playable character and vehicle NFTs with better game characteristics.

Another planned use case is for community members to be able to use CaRRots to purchase exclusive merchandise on our website store. Fiat will also be able to be used for purchases. Other use cases for the CaRRots utility token will be added as the need or opportunity arises.

9. Donkeyville Play and Earn Game
XRDonkeys are currently developing a 3D, NFT-based Play and Earn multiplayer game that will utilise the existing main collection NFTs as game skins. Players will be able log into the game with their Xumm wallet, select one of their XRDonkeys NFTs as their playable character and see the traits of that NFT mapped onto a 3D avatar that will be the driver of their racing cart. We will also be producing a series of 3D vehicle NFTs that will be used in the game. By earning the CaRRots token in the game, players will be able to purchase upgrades for both the drivers and vehicles to improve in-game performance and statistics. Each time an NFT is upgraded, the original NFT is burned and a new one issued with the improved game statistics recorded in the metadata of the NFT. This will allow players to train drivers and upgrade vehicles to have the best performance traits for the various course environments and tracks that will be featured in the game.

NFTs will be able to be traded both in the game’s marketplace and also traded the same as any other XRDonkeys NFT in all marketplaces that support XRPL NFTs. Another implication of the upgrade
process is that it will have the effect of making all of our major collections deflationary, as the original NFTs will be burned and re-issued as they are upgraded. Donkeyville will have three distinct games contained within it, each with a unique and engaging gameplay style:

Donkey Races will be a competitive, multiplayer racing game that allows you use your donkey character NFTs as playable game skins and participate in exciting races in the style of the most popular classic racing games. Players will be able to win prizes and tokens that can be used for purchasing new NFTs, upgrading a player’s owned NFTs to have better game performance, or sold on the in-game marketplace. Donkey Workshop is a creative and interactive game that lets you design, build and upgrade your own customizable donkey character and racing vehicle NFTs. You will have access to a variety of tools and resources to create unique playable-character skin NFTs, that you will own and be able to trade on any marketplace that supports XRPL NFTs. Donkey Breeding is a game where you can breed your donkey character NFTs to create new, playable character baby donkey 3D NFTs that will have the appearance and gameplay characteristics of the two parents encoded into its metadata. This will allow players to create new playable characters with their own unique appearance and skills that can be traded on any marketplace that supports XRPL NFTs.
