Chess Dawgs

1. Understanding the Play-to-Burn Mechanism

In Chess Dawgs, each game involves:

  • Two Players placing an equal bet in $DDawgs tokens.

  • Total Prize Pool per Game: 2×Bet per Player=2B2 \times \text{Bet per Player} = 2B2×Bet per Player=2B

  • Tokens Burned per Game: 10% of the prize pool =0.1×2B=0.2B= 0.1 \times 2B = 0.2B=0.1×2B=0.2B


2. Total Tokens to be Burned

  • Total Supply of $DDawgs: 313 billion

  • Target Burn: 50% of total supply =0.5×313 billion=156.5 billion= 0.5 \times 313 \text{ billion} = 156.5 \text{ billion}=0.5×313 billion=156.5 billion


3. Calculating the Number of Games Required

To determine the number of games needed to burn 156.5 billion $DDawgs, we use the following formula:

Number of Games (G)=Total Tokens to BurnTokens Burned per Game=156.5 billion0.2B=782.5 billionB\text{Number of Games (G)} = \frac{\text{Total Tokens to Burn}}{\text{Tokens Burned per Game}} = \frac{156.5 \text{ billion}}{0.2B} = \frac{782.5 \text{ billion}}{B}Number of Games (G)=Tokens Burned per GameTotal Tokens to Burn​=0.2B156.5 billion​=B782.5 billion​

Where:

  • BBB = Bet per Player in $DDawgs


4. Determining Games per Month

Assuming you have a specific timeframe in mind (e.g., 12 months), the monthly games required can be calculated as:

Games per Month=782.5 billionB×12\text{Games per Month} = \frac{782.5 \text{ billion}}{B \times 12}Games per Month=B×12782.5 billion​


5. Example Calculations

Let's explore a couple of scenarios with different bet amounts to illustrate how the number of required games changes.

Example 1: Moderate Bet Size

  • Bet per Player (B): 1,000,000 $DDawgs

\text{Tokens Burned per Game} = 0.2 \times 1,000,000 = 200,000 \text{ $DDawgs} Total Games Required=156.5 billion200,000=782,500 games\text{Total Games Required} = \frac{156.5 \text{ billion}}{200,000} = 782,500 \text{ games}Total Games Required=200,000156.5 billion​=782,500 games Games per Month=782,50012≈65,208 games/month\text{Games per Month} = \frac{782,500}{12} \approx 65,208 \text{ games/month}Games per Month=12782,500​≈65,208 games/month

Example 2: Higher Bet Size

  • Bet per Player (B): 5,000,000 $DDawgs

\text{Tokens Burned per Game} = 0.2 \times 5,000,000 = 1,000,000 \text{ $DDawgs} Total Games Required=156.5 billion1,000,000=156,500 games\text{Total Games Required} = \frac{156.5 \text{ billion}}{1,000,000} = 156,500 \text{ games}Total Games Required=1,000,000156.5 billion​=156,500 games Games per Month=156,50012≈13,042 games/month\text{Games per Month} = \frac{156,500}{12} \approx 13,042 \text{ games/month}Games per Month=12156,500​≈13,042 games/month

Example 3: Smaller Bet Size

  • Bet per Player (B): 500,000 $DDawgs

\text{Tokens Burned per Game} = 0.2 \times 500,000 = 100,000 \text{ $DDawgs} Total Games Required=156.5 billion100,000=1,565,000 games\text{Total Games Required} = \frac{156.5 \text{ billion}}{100,000} = 1,565,000 \text{ games}Total Games Required=100,000156.5 billion​=1,565,000 games Games per Month=1,565,00012≈130,417 games/month\text{Games per Month} = \frac{1,565,000}{12} \approx 130,417 \text{ games/month}Games per Month=121,565,000​≈130,417 games/month
