¶ Exosama Network Starter Info
¶ What is Exosama Network?
Exosama Network (EXN) is a decentralized platform built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that enables the development and deployment of gaming and metaverse-focused decentralized apps (dApps). It uses a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism to ensure fast transaction processing and high transaction rates while keeping transaction costs low. EXN is governed by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from the Moonsama collection. For more information on the PoA mechanism and validator selection, visit the MoonsamaDao. link TBA.
¶ Why has the Exosama Network been created?
The Moonsama ecosystem has grown to include multiple chains, including Moonriver, Ethereum, and Moonbeam, and needed a system to manage this multichain approach without the risk of outgrowing the existing blockchain. To address this, the team developed the Multiverse Portal, which enables users to transfer their assets into the games supported by the Moonsama ecosystem. However, the team also decided to create their own self-governed blockchain to further enable community members to create within the ecosystem and to gain independence from other blockchain networks. The team has outlined future features in their whitepaper, which is available for review here and this blockchain will allow for the implementation of future assets and gaming functionality.
A summary of it's purpose is shared below:
- Platform for virtual worlds (metaverses) with digital assets such as NFTs, games, music, and fashion/art
- Fast transaction speeds, with blocks processed in under 5 seconds, and low transaction fees (may be free)
- Flexible NFT governance model with high participation (68% at launch, at least 35% over 12 months)
- Compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and can connect to over 70 blockchains
- Native $SAMA token developed over 12 months through play-to-craft economy with thousands of players
- Benefits include ability to trade digital assets, access to games, music, and fashion/art
Eventually the Exosama Network will be transferred to the Moonsama network as a parachain on Polkadot that aims to create a decentralized web by connecting different blockchain networks in a secure and trustless manner.
¶ Is there a Block Explorer for the Exosama Network?
Yes, you can review the Exosama Network from the proof of authority (POA) explorer tool which is available at:
Exosama explorer is a tool for searching the Exosama blockchain for information to verify the validity of wallet addresses, check the status of transactions, view smart contracts, check gas usage and prices, and access information for decentralized applications on the Exosama Network blockchain. It is a trusted resource for Exosama Network-related data and can be useful for verifying transactions, spotting suspicious activity, and accessing other useful information.
¶ How can I setup the Exosama Network on my token Wallet?
¶ (1) Make sure you have a supported EVM wallet
Currently the following wallets are being supported on the Exosama Network.
These include:
- Metamask - Official website
- Talisman - Official website
Please note:
The SAMA token may be held within any EVM-compatible wallet of your choice since it’s Ethereum compatible blockchain.
Metamask can be configured onto all the blockchains that are within the Moonsama Ecosystem.
¶ (2) Add the Exosama Network RPC Information
To add the Exosama Network RPC information to your Wallet, please select either automatic or manual option from the tab below.
Please navigate to the Dailysama add to wallet tool website here and select Exosama.
If you have your wallet unlocked this tool will then add the Exosama network without any manual input required - Excellent!
RPC URL: https://rpc.exosama.com
Chain ID: 2109
Currency symbol: SAMA
Block explorer URL: https://explorer.exosama.com.
¶ Is there a Faucet to help begin using the network?
Yes, to claim 0.05 SAMA tokens from the Multiverse Portal Faucet (https://multiverse.moonsama.com/faucet), you must have a registered Moonsama account. You can create a Moonsama account by logging in through your email account on the Multiverse Portal, even if you do not have any NFTs or other assets.
Once your wallet is connected, go to the faucet tab to claim the SAMA tokens.
Please note that this offer is available to registered Moonsama accounts on a one-time basis.
¶ Is there anywhere to find explanations on Accounts, Transactions and Gas Fees?
Yes to find information on these terms in reference to the Exosama network please select from the relevant tab below.
An Exosama Network account is a digital entity that can facilitate transactions and has a balance. You can manage your account using a wallet. If you have any issues with your account or balance, contact your wallet provider for assistance.
In the Exosama Network, transactions are validated by validators. As an EVM-compatible blockchain, the fees for transactions may vary based on the complexity of the smart contract being executed and the current load on the network. However, the PoA consensus mechanism used by the Exosama Network is designed to keep transaction costs low. It is estimated that gas fees, which are typically paid in the network's native currency, will range from 0.00004$ to 0.005$.
In the Exosama Network, gas fees are paid in the network's native currency, SAMA. Gas prices are expressed in gwei, which is a unit of SAMA. One gwei is equal to 0.000000001 SAMA. There is a base fee for each transaction, which is always burned, and users or applications can also choose to add a priority fee for faster processing. This fee goes to the validator. Both the base fee and the priority fee may vary based on network congestion.
Keep in mind that some functions in the Exosama Network, such as staking in the Multiverse Portal, may become gasless in the future.
¶ How does Governance model work on the Exosama Network?
Exosama Network will initially use the 1 Moonsama NFT = 1 vote concept from the Moonsama Townhall. The team plans to eventually implement a unique governance system for Exosama Network and later Moonsama Network, though the specific details have yet to be determined. For further information on the planned governance model for Exosama Network, please refer to the whitepaper here.
