BaseBunnies Whitepaper

BASEBUNNIES Development Team

September 10, 2025

1. Overview

BASEBUNNIES is a collectible card game built on the base blockchain that combines strategy, collecting, and a rewarding decentralized ecosystem. Players collect unique Bunny token cards, stake them to earn rewards, and trade them on our own custom in-game marketplace. This whitepaper outlines the core gameplay, the tokenomics that power the ecosystem, and the economic incentives designed to reward long-term holders. By focusing on sustainable token emissions and meaningful utility for the reward token, BASEBUNNIES offers a compelling and engaging GameFi experience.

2. Gameplay Mechanics

2.1 Card Collection & Booster Packs

Players acquire Bunny token cards by purchasing in-game booster packs. Each pack contains 5 random Bunny cards. Every card is a unique Bunny with two core attributes, power and speed (max 20/20), which determine its rarity and value in the game's economy.

2.2 Farming and Staking

The primary objective of the game is to stake Bunny cards to earn $BUNNY tokens, our native reward token. Each player starts with a limited number of lands to stake their Bunnies. A Bunny's staking yield is directly tied to its power and speed stats, along with the duration it is staked. Players can check all their claimable rewards at any time inside the game FARM STATS panel. To collect their earned rewards they can use any of the claim buttons or the unstake button inside the game (it will unstake the selected tokens and automatically claim their accumulated rewards).

2.3 Farm Upgrades

To increase their earning potential, players must expand their farm by unlocking more lands, up to a maximum of 25. This allows them to stake more Bunny tokens simultaneously. Lands can be unlocked in two ways:

  • Paid Unlock: Players can instantly unlock more lands paying in $BUNNY tokens using the BUY NEW LAND button.
  • Time-Based Unlock: As a long-term incentive, players can unlock one new land per day for free using the UNLOCK NEW LAND button once its full and the wait timer runs out.

2.4 Marketplace

BASEBUNNIES features a built-in marketplace where players can buy and sell their Bunny cards. This allows users to acquire specific cards to optimize their farms potential.

  • Listing: Owners can list their cards for a set price in $BUNNY tokens using the LIST button inside the market once they have selected the tokens to list and set their prices.
  • Buying: Buyers can select and purchase any listed card if they have enough $BUNNY balance to pay for it, they can select multiple cards to add them into their cart and batch buy them all in a single transaction with the BUY button at the top of the marketplace.
  • Unlisting: Owners can remove their listed cards at any time with the UNLIST or UNLIST ALL buttons in the market.

2.5 Registration and Referrals

To join the BASEBUNNIES ecosystem, players must first register. This one-time action enables your account for all in-game activities and unlocks key features. The registration process requires a small fee in BASE ETH, which is used to fund the ecosystem. In return, you receive your first 2 lands for farming and the ability to access the powerful referral system.

  • Referral System: After registering, you can become a referrer by sharing your wallet address with friends. Once your friend registers and inputs your address as their referral code, you get a percentage of their registration fee instantly transferred to your wallet. Additionally, players earn 20% of all booster pack purchases made by referred users via referral links, incentivizing community-led growth.
  • Referral Rewards: In addition to rewarding the referrer, the new player who uses a referral code receives a free booster pack with 5 new random Bunny cards, giving them a head start on building their farm. This system creates a win-win scenario that encourages community growth and players collaboration.

3. Tokenomics

3.1 Total Supply

  • Total Supply: 21,000,000 $BUNNY
  • Premine (15%): 3,150,000 tokens to liquidity pool
  • Farming Emissions (85%): 17,850,000 tokens

3.2 Emission Schedule (90 Days)

Stage Days Daily Emission Tokens Emitted
1 1–30 255,000 7,650,000
2 31–60 198,333 5,950,000
3 61–90 141,667 4,250,000
  • Grace period before emissions: 6-9 hours
  • First month: 1.2% of total supply/day
  • Second month: 0.94%/day
  • Third month: 0.67%/day

4. Economic Incentives & Safeguards

The BASEBUNNIES economy is designed to be self-sustaining and to reward committed players. We achieve this by providing direct, in-game utility for holding our new and fresh $BUNNY tokens.

4.1 Staking Multiplier

Players who hold a minimum amount of $BUNNY in their wallets gain a significant advantage. If a staker's balance of $BUNNY exceeds the multiplierTokenThreshold, all of their staked Bunnies will generate rewards at an accelerated rate, boosted by the rewardMultiplier(x1.2). This system directly links holding the reward token to higher passive income, encouraging long-term accumulation rather than immediate selling.

4.2 Tiered Marketplace Fee Discounts

Token Balance Marketplace Fee
0 tokens 20.0%
25,000 tokens 17.5%
50,000 tokens 15.0%
75,000 tokens 12.5%
100,000 tokens 10.0%
125,000 tokens 7.5%
150,000 tokens 5.0%

The marketplace fee for sellers is not static. It is a tiered system where sellers can receive a discount on fees based on how much $BUNNY tokens they hold in their wallet.This tiered structure is managed by the contract and directly rewards active traders and holders of the $BUNNY token. The more $BUNNY a player holds, the less they pay in fees when selling.

4.3 Liquidity Risk and Safeguards

Early accumulation of $BUNNY tokens from the liquidity pool (LP) poses a risk to the game economy. Without safeguards, early buyers—especially whales—could gain disproportionate network power, dominate daily emissions, and rapidly sell rewards back into the LP. This can drain liquidity, disrupt token price stability, and undermine long-term player engagement before organic growth takes hold.

To prevent this, BASEBUNNIES implements two key protective measures:

  • Grace Period Before Emissions: A 6 to 9 hours window after launch will precede the start of farming emissions. This ensures the game economy has time to stabilize before rewards begin, discouraging opportunistic behavior and giving fair access to all players.
  • Anti-Sniper Fee Mechanism: An aggressive anti-sniper fee will be applied to early LP trades. This fee starts at a very high percentage and gradually decreases over time. The dynamic fee structure is designed to deter bots and whales from front-running the market at launch, promoting a fairer distribution of $BUNNY tokens and a healthier initial trading environment.

4.4 Owner and Seller Withdrawals

The contract includes secure withdrawal functions to manage funds transparently. Seller's earnings from the marketplace are held in the contract's unique seller treasury until they make use of the CLAIM/CLAIM SALES button to withdraw its balance directly to his wallet.

5. Secure & Transparent Gameplay

We prioritize your security and a seamless gameplay experience. Here's a quick overview of how the game's blockchain interactions work:

  • Wallet Connection: The game will prompt you to connect your wallet, ensuring you are on the Base Chain network for all transactions.
  • Secure Approvals: To enable seamless in-game actions, the contract will ask for two key approvals:
    • `approveForAll` on your Bunny tokens: This allows the contract to securely stake your Bunnies on your behalf for farming.
    • `approve` on the Rewards contract: This approval enables the game to handle in-game payments using $BUNNY tokens for purchases like new booster packs, extra lands, and buying cards from the marketplace.
  • Dynamic Marketplace: Our in-game marketplace is designed for full user control. You can easily buy, list/unlist your Bunny cards at any time. Whenever you sell a card, your earnings will be held securely in our smart contract treasury and displayed on the marketplace UI, being able to withdraw it with a single click on the CLAIM button.
  • Sorting & Filtering: The marketplace can be sorted by rarity, lower price, higher price, and owner, making it easy to find the perfect card.
  • Full Transparency: For complete security, all contract functions are publicly verifiable on our verified contract. Additionally, the entire backend code for the game is open and accessible for everyone to check it.

6. Conclusion

BASEBUNNIES is a strategic blockchain game that creates a fun and sustainable ecosystem. Through its dynamic emissions, rewarding token utility, and meaningful incentives for long-term holding, it is designed to set a new standard in sustainable GameFi design.
