Introduction: The Vision

The official documentation for DegenHive [WIP]

DegenHive represents a paradigm shift in decentralized finance, merging institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure with AI-powered gaming mechanics through innovative DragonBee characters.

By seamlessly integrating advanced financial primitives with engaging gameplay elements, DegenHive creates a unique ecosystem where users can participate in DeFi while nurturing and evolving their digital companions.

How it works?

At its core, DegenHive generates yield through DeFi / gameplay activities, which is used to buyback HIVE and HONEY tokens, which is then distributed to the community through DragonBees - digital creatures that combine the mystical powers of dragons with the industrious nature of bees.

Each dragonBee comes with a unique 256 bit DNA, energy and health points, which will determine its visual appearance and it will grow and evolve dynamically based on changes in its DNA, energy and health score. DragonBees earn share of protocol fees as HIVE and HONEY tokens, which increase its energy and health score, helping it grow and evolve.

Energy and health points are consumed during gameplay / battle mechanics, during which they can evolve into more powerful forms and unlock new traits / powers. By tying DeFi yield with a dragonBee's energy / health score, DegenHive uniquely is able to use DeFi yield to power the gameplay mechanics,

Overall view of what we're building with DegenHive

Three Foundational Pillars

  • Advanced DeFi Architecture

    DegenHive builds upon battle-tested DeFi primitives while introducing significant innovations. Our institutional-grade infrastructure includes:

    • PCL (Passive Concentrated Liquidity) AMM inspired by Curve V2

    • SUI liquid staking solution with instant unstaking feature

    • Weighted pools to support 80:20 ratio pools, enabling meme coin trading with lower liquidity requirements

    • Community-driven emission control across AMMs through DragonBee staking

    • Borrowing against LP positions for leverage (upcoming)

  • Gamified Governance Through DragonBees

    DragonBees – evolving digital characters that transform traditional governance into an engaging, intuitive experience:

    • Dual token system (HIVE/HONEY) ties governance to character growth

    • HIVE / HONEY earned via protocol fees used to energize / nourish the bees, driving gameplay economics

    • DragonBees can be staked with AMM pools to direct HIVE / HONEY emissions to that specific pool, for which users can earn additional incentives (bribes) and share of trading fees

  • AI-Powered Gaming Layer

    DegenHive leverages AI technology across three distinct layers:

    • Foundation Layer: Dynamic visual evolution driven by 256-bit DNA and on-chain states

    • Character Layer: Individual AI instances hosted in TEE for unique personality development

    • Integration Layer: Cross-game compatibility with intelligent NPC behaviors

This three-tiered approach creates a seamless fusion of DeFi utility, governance participation, and gaming engagement, where each component strengthens the others to create a sustainable, growing ecosystem.


Cross-Gaming Integration Framework

DegenHive's DragonBee ecosystem represents a novel approach to cross-game character integration, combining on-chain state management with sophisticated AI-powered visual generation. This infrastructure enables seamless character portability across different gaming environments while maintaining consistent progression and visual identity.

Universal Identity Management

Each user maintains a unique on-chain profile (DragonBee Trainer Profile) that serves as their digital identity within the DegenHive ecosystem. This profile acts as a secure custodial system for their DragonBee characters, ensuring true ownership and seamless transferability across different gaming environments.

Cross-Game Composability

Any game / 3rd party app can access a user's dynamic object field stored against that game's unique identifier, which can be used to store that user's game progress / state. Similarly, games can access dynamic object fields of each DragonBee to store that character's game progress.

This unique dynamic object fields driven architecture enables persistent game state storage across multiple applications and character progression tracking across different gaming environments. When a DragonBee character changes ownership, the entire progression history transfers seamlessly to the new owner. This creates a unique value proposition where:

  • Characters retain their experience and achievements across ownership changes

  • New owners can continue gameplay from previous progression points

  • Historical achievements contribute to character value

  • Cross-game achievements create unique character narratives

AI-Powered Visual Generation System

DegenHive will provide a sophisticated AI infrastructure for dynamic character visualization, enabling consistent visual representation across different gaming environments, alongwith a comprehensive SDK that enables developers to easily integrate DragonBees into their games. Our overall AI tooling roadmap includes:

  • Adaptive difficulty scaling based on player progression

  • Dynamic personality development from character attributes

  • Interactive decision-making based on character history

  • Cross-game behavioral consistency

Integration Benefits

By building on DegenHive's infrastructure, developers gain access to an established ecosystem of engaged users and a proven character management system. The platform offers immediate value through its existing user base of DragonBee holders, while the DeFi mechanics create additional incentives through continuous yield generation. This combination of gaming utility and financial benefits creates a powerful foundation for player retention and cross-game engagement.


Current Development Status and Strategic Roadmap

Current Status: Genesis Dragon Egg Launch

DegenHive is currently launching its Genesis Dragon-Bee Eggs, marking the beginning of our ecosystem. These eggs represent the foundation of our protocol, with a carefully designed economic model featuring dynamic pricing from 15 SUI to 77 SUI. The total supply is capped at 42,690 genesis eggs, targeting a maximum raise of approximately 2.24M SUI.

Each Genesis Egg contains randomly allocated HIVE and HONEY tokens that determine initial energy and health values, alongside a unique 256-bit DNA sequence that will shape the dragon-bee's appearance and powers upon hatching. As first-generation assets, these eggs hold special status within the protocol's hierarchy.

Strategic Roadmap

The funds raised from dragon-bee egg sales will be strategically deployed to develop and ship the following features in sequence:

  1. AI Infrastructure Development: Implementation of Stable Diffusion XL for genesis asset generation along-with development of ControlNet and DepthMap integration for dynamic visual evolution

  2. Hatching Mechanism & Visual Evolution: Activation of hatching system for eggs with 4200 energy and 69k health with AI-powered dynamic artwork generation based on DNA attributes

    1. Visual evolution system tied to character progression

    2. Integration of state-responsive character growth mechanics

  3. DeFi Infrastructure & Borrowing: Implementation of borrowing mechanics against LP positions

  4. Breeding & Gameplay Framework: AI-powered visual assets generation via breeding with genetic trait inheritance

  5. Gaming Infrastructure & Tools: Release of SDK for game integration

  6. PvP & Evolution Mechanics: Launch of PvP battle system in HiddenWorld

    1. Implementation of evolution and multiplier mechanics

    2. Integration of AI-powered opponent behavior
