# The Barkitects

## Social Sharing

Built-in to the core of Bitcoin Dogs Ecosystem, Social Sharing is where popularity yields rewards. The players get rewarded for sharing their activities such as feeding a dog to receive BARK Tokens. The more you share, the better off you'll be. The social integration encourages closer connection between the players and also boosts the presence of game.

## In-game Assets

### **BARK**

**The essential in-game utility currency.**

* **Utilities:** All in-game activities are powered by BARK, such as purchasing various grades of fine foods that give different rates of growth & health to your dogs.
* **Versatility:** Exchangeable with $0DOG.
* **Obtainability:** BARK can be acquired
  1. Social Sharing from gameplay & Event rewards
  2. Level up your dog to acquire the ability to farm BARK

### **$0DOG**

**The main on-chain currency with real world value.**

* **Property:** The common wealth token for the community, unifying BRC and ERC markets with its universal reach. Additional chain expansion is in the pipeline.
* **Versatility:** Trade-able across both ERC and BRC markets, offering extensive on-chain interoperability.
* **Obtainability: There are 3 ways to get $0DOG**
  1. **Presale** (the most economical way)
  2. **In-game mechanics such as Duels**
  3. **Secondary market**

## PvP

The PvP (Player vs Player) in the Bitcoin Dogs Game starts with Challenge Duel, a Dog Racing challenge where one player challenges another to a race with a betting system.

* **Eligibility:** You must posses an advanced level dog in order to challenge a fellow player to a Duel.
* **Match-up:** The other player has to accept your challenge for the Racing Duel to take place. You cannot single-handedly initiate a Duel with someone. This is to prevent toxic farming behavior, especially when players' assets are at stake here.
* **Prize Pool:** The challenging player picks the amount of $0DOG tokens to put in the Prize Pool, the challenged player will deposit the equal amount. Winner takes all.
