The Xuanwu Panel Whitepaper

Four living exhibits, one currency: a rig that produces around the clock, a garden grown by real time, a market where harvests become goods, an arena where fed plants become a spirit beast's strength — and the XWP that binds them.

1A Playground of Paper and Ink

The Panel is designed as a foreign-run newspaper printed with Chinese ink: rice-paper pages, serif headlines, indigo and vermillion, English by default with a one-tap Chinese switch, mobile first. Every rule is printed in the open — output formulas, unlock conditions, share ratios and trading fees all appear on the guide pages. No hidden doors.

Identity is a passkey. You register with Face ID or a fingerprint — no wallet app, no seed phrase — and the Panel issues you a trialist ID, a backup account key, and a Xuanwu Key: a real cryptographic key pair, generated for your account alone, which becomes your wallet on the Xuanming Chain at genesis; exporting it asks for a fresh Face ID check. Passkeys sync through iCloud or Google, so a new phone simply works; lose everything, and your account key restores the account and lets you bind a fresh passkey. Fairness rests on one account per person: registration is invite-only (an invite code is simply the inviter's trialist ID; leave it blank and you join under the official account), each device may create just one account, and each account binds one passkey device. An email can be bound to the account for code-based sign-in; once bound it is locked and can never be changed. Accounts registered from the same environment — the same IP address, the same geolocation and the same device profile — are automatically flagged, and a confirmed flag bars the account from the Market.

2The Exhibits

2.1 The Xuanwu Proving Ground — The Rig

Every trialist owns a rig. Start it and it completes one run every six hours — on server time, with the page closed, while you sleep. A Lv.1 rig produces 20 XWP per run; finished runs wait in storage until you claim them — just 1 at Lv.1–2 (the rig pauses, full, until you claim), 2 from Lv.3, 3 from Lv.6 and 4 at Lv.10. Claiming four rounds in a row (no gap over 36 hours) makes the next claim pay ×1.5 — the streak then resets and counts again. Upgrades burn XWP back into the economy: the first upgrade costs 100 XWP and the ladder rises gently — 250, 450, 1,250 and beyond, 22,800 XWP in total to max out — while output climbs in small steps (25, 30, 50 … 100 per run) and then leaps at Lv.10 to 245 XWP per run.

Lineage is the Proving Ground's second engine. The trialists you invite form your transmission lineage: when they claim their runs, the spring shares with you — 8% from your direct transmissions, 3% from the second, 0.6% from the third — paid on top, never deducted from their output. Shares rest in a pending pool and unlock automatically once the source account is at least 24 hours old and has claimed three runs. Shares come only from rig output — garden harvests are never shared. Lineages also grow through tiers: 50 members make a Vanguard Squad, 100 a Xuanwu Legion, 500 a Xuanming Army, and at 1,000 the leader becomes a Team Captain with a physical reward.

2.2 The Spirit Garden — Grown by Real Time

The Garden shares the Proving Ground's wallet and currency, with prices anchored at 1 USDT = 70 XWP. Buy a seed, sow it, and wait — plants grow in real time, even while you are offline, with the server as the only clock. Four strains form a ladder: Lingzhi (seed 10 XWP / grows 1 h), Snow Lotus (40 / 4 h), Dragon-Saliva Herb (150 / 12 h) and the Sacred Lotus (600 / 24 h). Harvesting a strain builds mastery — 80 Lingzhi harvests unlock the Snow Lotus, 120 Snow Lotus harvests unlock the Dragon-Saliva Herb, 160 of those unlock the Sacred Lotus. A harvest no longer pays XWP directly: the plants land in your satchel as goods (1 plant per plot per harvest, +1 under Moonlight Dew), to be pawned or traded (see 2.3).

Upgrading a plot is a growth surge: the higher the level, the faster plants grow — ×1.0 at Lv.1 up to ×2.0 at Lv.10, for 50 / 100 / 200 / 350 / 550 / 800 / 1,150 / 1,650 / 2,350 XWP — and upgrading mid-growth rescales the remaining time on the spot. Plots expand to at most 5 (200 / 800 / 2,400 / 7,600 XWP). Every harvested plant rolls for mutation at plot level ×0.2% (capped at 2%): a mutant becomes a glowing mutant treasure, pawned at five times the normal plant's floor. Each plot holds 5 energy: a harvest costs 1, and an empty plot grows at Lv.1 speed and mutation rate. Refill with a Spirit Spring (20 XWP) — or claim rig runs at the Proving Ground: every run claimed restores +1 energy to every plot. A rotating sky omen rules each round: Spirit Rain cuts growth time to ×0.9, Moonlight Dew has an 8% chance to add +1 plant to a harvest, and the Xuanwu's Breath makes harvesting cost no energy. Rare harvests trigger a Xuanwu Blessing paid in XWP: +30 from Dragon-Saliva Herb, +100 from the Sacred Lotus, +300 when a Sacred Lotus is harvested with all five plots at Lv.10.

2.3 The Xuanwu Market — Where Harvests Become Goods

The Xuanwu Market: the satchel, the house pawn counter, listings and buy orders — two trading rails

The Market is the third exhibit, sharing one account and wallet with the Garden and the Proving Ground. Everything you grow sits in your satchel — available, frozen in listings, or cooling down, each plant's state on one line — and there are three ways to turn plants into XWP. The simplest is the house pawn counter: 12 XWP per Lingzhi, 52 per Snow Lotus, 210 per Dragon-Saliva Herb, 880 per Sacred Lotus, mutants at five times the floor — instant, no duty. The second is XWP listings and buy orders between trialists: you set the price, trades settle instantly, and the seller pays a 5% stamp duty that is burned. An XWP buy order first sweeps the hall for listings at or below its price (cheapest first); whatever remains is escrowed as a standing order.

The third rail is RMB offline payment, modelled on exchange P2P desks — currently suspended: while suspended, no RMB listings or buy orders can be posted or accepted and RMB payment methods can no longer be registered; reopening will be announced in advance. Its mechanics: sellers first register their WeChat / Alipay / QQ payment codes; a code is shown only to the counterparty inside a live deal. The buyer pays offline within 30 minutes and uploads proof; the seller checks and releases; the platform escrows the plants and the duty throughout, and either side can appeal for an official ruling. The RMB rail carries the same 5% stamp duty, converted to XWP at the anchor rate and frozen from the seller when a listing is posted or an order accepted — burned on completion, refunded on cancellation.

While open, the RMB rail is wrapped in a no-real-name safety design. Accounts unlock ¥ trading only at 48 hours old. The buyer posts a good-faith deposit of 30% of the deal value in XWP, frozen at commitment and returned on completion — a ruling against a fake proof or a malicious default forfeits it to the seller. Every deal carries a random 4-digit remark code the buyer must write into the transfer note; the seller releases only after matching the code. Plants bought with ¥ are locked for 24 hours before they can be listed or pawned again, and volume is capped at ¥100 per deal and ¥300 per day. Every hall row shows its poster's completed-trade count and fulfilment rate.

Payment-method rules: while the RMB rail is suspended, the Market registers USDT receiving only — one BNB Chain (BEP20) address, changeable at any time. While the RMB rail is open, a WeChat, Alipay or QQ payment code, once set or replaced, cannot be changed or removed for 24 hours.

USDT buy orders form a fourth rail. They are buy-only — there are no USDT listings — and they skip the 48-hour account-age gate and the RMB volume caps. The 5% stamp duty and the buyer's 30% good-faith deposit still apply, converted at the platform rate of 1 USDT = 70 XWP; a seller may take a USDT order only with a USDT address registered, and plants bought with USDT carry the same 24-hour lock.

2.4 The Spirit Beast Grounds — Where Plants Become Strength

The fourth exhibit is an arena. Every trialist may claim one Xuanwu spirit beast for 10 XWP — the egg hatches on the spot — and the beast is fed from the same satchel the Garden fills: each plant gives growth (Lingzhi 1, Snow Lotus 4, Dragon-Saliva Herb 16, Sacred Lotus 64; a mutant treasure gives three times as much), affinity, and a focused nurture — Lingzhi builds HP, Snow Lotus speed, Dragon-Saliva attack, the Sacred Lotus a little of everything, each capped. Affinity evolves the beast: at 30 it becomes an Armored Spirit Beast, at 120 the True Xuanwu, each stage multiplying all stats. Feeding is unlimited, but the day's first six feeds can trigger Xuanwu's Guard — a blessing rolled before the feed and fixed for the day: ordinary plants can grant +5% to all duel stats for the day, a Sacred Lotus +15%, and mutant treasures double the odds.

Duels are turn-based on a 7×4 grid. Your beast has four skills — Shell Ram, Tide Breath, the Xuanwu Guard shield, and the Sea-Quelling Surge unlocked at the second stage — and faces wild beasts matched to its level. Ten battles a day each settle a random 1–5 growth, win or lose (the record keeps both), with higher rolls rarer; battle rewards are growth only, never XWP. A public power ranking lists the strongest beasts by their derived power.

Above the arena rises the Tower of the Dark Deep. A guardian beast — specced by the server, stronger every floor, a boss every tenth floor — holds each floor, and you climb one floor at a time: five attempts a day, separate from regular battles. Clearing a floor grants growth (bosses pay double) and the progress is permanent; the rankings carry a Tower tab recording how high every trialist has climbed.

3XWP, the Panel Currency

XWP (XuanWu Power) is the Panel's only currency: the Proving Ground produces it, the Garden spends it, the Market circulates it, and transmission shares settle in it. Today it circulates as an in-game credit, with every movement recorded to the unit in each trialist's own ledger. But XWP was never meant to remain a points system: it is the native coin of the Xuanming Chain, a public blockchain we are building ourselves. The Panel is its first application and its proving ground — at genesis, in-game credits map 1:1 to native XWP. One supply, one set of books, no double counting.

4Tokenomics

XWP · Fixed at 10,000,000 — created at genesis, never again

The full supply is created once, at the chain's genesis, and never again. The Xuanming Chain is designed with no inflation schedule, no admin issuance and no backdoors; holders may burn voluntarily. Allocation:

5Emission & the Flywheel

The flywheel: the Proving Ground produces XWP → the Garden turns XWP into plants → the Market turns plants back into XWP → claims restore garden energy

• Emission. The rig is the only faucet: at most 4 runs a day per trialist. A Lv.1 rig produces 80 XWP base per day; the Lv.10 ceiling is 245 per run, 980 per day. The streak bonus is a capped percentage. Transmission shares are additional emission and counted in the site-wide issued total; Xuanwu Blessings are small direct drops inside the Garden.
• Sinks. A maxed rig burns 22,800 XWP over its lifetime; Garden seeds, growth-surge upgrades, plot expansion and Spirit Springs recycle XWP continuously; and the Market's 5% stamp duty on every player trade is burned outright. At genesis mapping, a further 10% burn on mapped credits adds a deflationary valve.
• Mapping & discipline. Credits map to native XWP at genesis under a global monthly release cap — orderly conversion, no bank runs. All issuance and burns are written into each player's ledger, and rule changes are announced on the homepage first.
• Synergy. Claiming restores garden energy; garden produce returns as XWP through the Market and funds rigs and seeds again. The four exhibits feed each other — harvests feed the spirit beasts, and activity on any side lifts the rest.

6Roadmap

• Live now. The Xuanwu Proving Ground (passkey accounts, rig output, transmission shares), the Spirit Garden (real-time growth, mutant treasures), the Xuanwu Market (house pawn, instant XWP trade, escrowed USDT buy-order trade (the RMB offline rail is suspended)), the dynamic exhibit hub, the global asset bar, the on-site mailbox, and the Spirit Beast Grounds (claimable beasts, grid duels, the Tower of the Dark Deep).
• Next. The Xuanming Chain: architecture and technical route published, then a public testnet where the Panel's mechanics are exercised on-chain.
• Later. Genesis: the chain launches and credits map 1:1 to native XWP under the release schedule. New exhibits keep opening one by one as they are ready — announced when open, invisible until then; seasonal events and larger community airdrops are funded from community reserves.

XWP credits are in-game points of the Panel. Nothing in this paper is a promise of price, yield or redemption value; the Garden and Market formulas describe how points and goods move, not investment returns. The Xuanming Chain's launch schedule, technical route and mapping rules may change, and changes will be announced on the homepage first. This document is a project description, not investment advice. Please confirm the rules on digital assets in your jurisdiction before participating.
