1. Abstract
The Cyberpong Metaverse is the evolution and development of the next level in creative online entertainment for adults. The platform combines a gamified navigation platform with interactive live stream channels from selected art and entertainment venues across the globe for a community of like- and open minded members.
Cyberpong introduces a unique ‘access-only’ protocol via NFTs (non-fungible tokens). NFTs can act as rare ‘crypto-collectibles’ that provide full access to the Cyberpong Metaverse. The underlying token utilizes the Polygon blockchain and is backed by the ERC721 gold-standard. By holding one of these exclusive NFTs, you can immerse yourself into the world of Cyberpong via desktop client with the option of harnessing the power of virtual reality. You are then able to access the streets of Patpong, a sub-district within Bangkok in the future.
Rumor has it that NFT holders within “The Inner Circle” are to be recognized as VIPs in-person with the ability to access and enjoy the real-life experience within the clubs and venues inside Patpong when Thailand’s borders reopen.

2. Introduction
In March 2020 with the unfolding of the global pandemic, governments around the world ordered lockdowns and social distancing. The impact of these measures on the arts, entertainment, and adult sector was devastating worldwide. Cyberpong was swift to react with a seismic shift to online and digital projects.
Cyberpong is launching in cooperation with well-established adult rated content providers out of Southeast Asia featuring live streams from famous GoGo bars, fetish clubs and even the CNN featured Patpong Museum.
The mission Cyberpong is to connect like-minded individuals with lifetime memberships to the metaverse through the issuance of an NFT ‘access card’. Holders of these NFT’s will be part of an elite group known as ‘The Inner Circle’ of Cyberpong and will later have the ability to change the in-game dynamics, cast community votes, and even play political roles within the ecosystem.

Cyberpong provides next level online entertainment and adventures for adults. The company holds strong partnerships with notable clubs inside Patpong, the world’s premier adult entertainment location. Primary locations include pubs, banks, gogo bars, fetish clubs, and even museums. Cyberpong has built its adult playground community on www.Cyberpong.net through a revolutionary new game-like navigation platform merging life-like, euphoric scenarios with true, live and interactive adult content and action. It is already a well known producer of live streaming events.
The interactive map allows you to navigate through different and unique virtual lounges replicating existing bars and clubs in Bangkok, Thailand. Players can enjoy a direct interaction with the live-streamers and play a role of this entertainment by a variety of feeds alongside options to enjoy pre-recorded content broadcasted on virtual screens and real, raw environments.
In upcoming developments, the metaverse will evolve and offer tenants around the globe the option to establish their own venues in virtual form and host a variety of events like parties and personal shows. With content creators around the world, unique streams and coverage is actively broadcasted in 24 time zones including Bangkok, Berlin, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Rio De Janeiro.

v_1.0
Cyberpong NFTs are unique artistic tokens on an immutable blockchain in which you can redeem a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that allows you to unlock experiences within the metaverse. Said NFTs double as rare pieces of art photographed and illustrated in some of the most exclusive areas of Bangkok and are issued via non-fungible ERC721 tokens utilizing the Polygon blockchain.
3.1. What Exactly are Cyberpong NFTs?

3.2. How many Lifetime Membership Tokens will be Issued?
In the first installment, there will be a limited run of 6,106 lifetime access NFTs distributed into circulation. Early adopters holding these exclusive tokens form the ‘Inner Circle’ of the community. Artistic collections will be represented through a total of 306 unique images and illustrations featuring some of the actors you will later encounter inside your new reality. There will be a total of 3 variants to be issued to those joining the Inner Circle.
Edition | Series | Serial Number |
First Edition | 106 Unique Images | 1/001/106 - 1/106/106 |
Second Edition | 100 Unique Images in a series of 10 | 2/001/01/10 - 2/100/10/10 |
Third Edition | 100 Unique Images in a series of 50 | 3/001/01/50 - 3/100/50/50 |

3.3. What are the Benefits of the Cyberpong NFT Token?
All first, second and third edition NFT token holders will be granted lifetime access to the Cyberpong metaverse and enjoy the Inner Circle member status as long as they hold the token in their wallet attached to the game. Recognized NFTs will double as your login credentials.
One advantageous virtue of playing a role in the Inner Circle is the right to cast votes. For example, the major decision to open the gates of Cyberpong to outside users lies within the quorum.
“Α (Alpha) Day” marks the moment in time when Cyberpong is ready to open its gates to new “Non-Inner-Circle” subscription-based members. “Ω (Omega) Day”, is the day when Cyberpong will later close its gates to shield itself from overpopulation, crowding, and conflict. This maintains the dynamic and positive prosperous environment. Unless a player sells their access-card, new users will never be able to fill the role of an Inner Circle member, yet they will be born into the metaverse on a monthly subscription basis.
Not only does the Cyberpong NFT act as an access-only token, but also as a rare form of digital art and collectable with a lifetime of benefits outside of the gamified realm. Inner Circle members will host the ability to identify themselves through their NFT at participating, real life venues and enjoy additional recognition and benefits as a close member to society. Thus, the 6,106 access cards can be seen as a lifetime representation and contribution to a world of online and even physical entertainment.
The Inner Circle will draft the Cyberpong constitution and amend it over time, reflecting on real situations and developments within the game. While each member of the Inner Circle has the ability to create and submit proposals, there will be a democratized group of individuals able to cast their votes on said proposals. Every individual who is part of the Inner Circle will be able to join the quorum, however, inactive members will be released from their duty to keep the quorum active. Establishing decisions to enforce the laws by Cyberpong’s own security force, the Red Light Army, rests within this closed group of individuals. The Red Light Army plays a crucial role in defending the rights and liberties of Cyberpong against hostile forces and negativity in any form.
The ecosystem will feature its own in-game currency and micropayment system to buy items, make payments to venues, and spend on additional features.

3.5. Why Polygon and not Ethereum?
As of recent times, with more and more individuals joining the cryptocurrency ecosystem, we have all witnessed Ethereum gas prices (transactional fees) reach extraordinary highs. Buyers and sellers have accepted that, on a good day, they will pay between $50 to $100 USD for a single transaction. On a busy day with a congested network, these fees can skyrocket. As it is planned to have more in-game blockchain developments, which require faster and cheaper transactions taking place in real time, the core layer of Ethereum is not a viable gateway at this point in time. The developing team opted for Polygon, formerly known as MATIC. Initially launched in 2017, Polygon is a second-layer protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that is meant for developing decentralized apps. ... In simple terms, it solves the scalability issues that usually other cryptocurrencies face built on Ethereum blockchain, keeping the decentralized aspect intact.
As a whole, those who believe if Ethereum remains unable to scale, it will lose its competitive edge in the long-run as one of the truly decentralized blockchains in the industry. Ethereum has established itself well over the last 8 years and similar businesses alike want to help it grow and succeed rather than being overrun by a centralized solution.
While leveraging Ethereum’s network, Polygon, a PoS (Proof of Stake) blockchain enables faster and more cost efficient transactions that go beyond the standard second layer protocol. All of Polygon’s validator and staking logic for the PoS blockchain are deployed as smart contracts on Ethereum. This provides two key benefits: it utilizes Ethereum-based finality to the Polygon’s blockchain and it can aid in the recovery of said blockchain in the case of a Black Swan event. Secondly, it supports the Ethereum network by paying Ethereum’s gas fees in order to acquire larger blockspace and to secure contracts on-chain.
Should Ethereum cease to exist, Polygon would follow. Polygon allows its contracts to be upgraded with multisignature (multisig) capabilities. Multisig permissions grant essential rights to the signatories making changes to the protocol. In recent times, a development bug that prevents the fork of a business model remains as a common dilemma seen throughout the DeFi industry. As of now, Polygon's multisig relies on a 5 out of 8 signatory consensus, which is far from decentralized, but this announcement by the official team aims to improve this in the near future.

4. Market Overview
Today’s people worldwide are spending increasingly more time in virtual worlds for both leisure and work. This occurs predominantly in 2D interfaces such as web based apps on desktops and mobile phones. While being more niche, a traversable 3D world adds an immersive component through the availability of VR headsets. The global pandemic has acted as an agent of this market acceleration.
While most projects are just purely focused on singular markets, Cyberpong taps into a combination of 3 markets that have all seen explosive growth (in parallel) over recent years. NFTS, gaming, and lastly, online adult entertainment industries generate a well-established trifecta of amusement you can find dominating the digital world in the year 2021.
The non-fungible token wave has taken the world by storm and is experiencing explosive growth since the early days of 2020. With total sales exceeding more than $100M USD (and growing), the current market is not slowing down to rest any time soon. Alongside large corporations eyeballing the idea of implementation, multiple celebrities have been launching their own NFTs such as Elon Musk, Tony Hawk, Jack Dorsey, and even Snoop Dogg.
Gary Vee is one of these trendsetters with a very forward thinking project. His NFT acts as a true utility in which holders of these tokens are granted 4 years of access to Veecon, his exclusive conference.
Global gaming markets reached a total valuation of $162 billion USD in 2020. According to Mordor Intelligence, this number is expected to grow to $295 billion USD by the year 2026. Now, nearly one in three people worldwide are playing video games monthly.

4. Market Overview
The actual size of the adult online industry is difficult to estimate and most online databases and reports will value the industry as a whole anywhere between $5-$85 billion USD. While the latter figure looks excessive, a more conservative estimate is roughly $15 billion USD, according to Quartz. This makes the industry bigger than not only Netflix, which is valued at $11.7 billion USD, but also Hollywood, which is currently valued at $11.1 billion USD. These numbers are expected to grow exponentially within the next 5 years as online entertainment continues to surge to all-time highs.
5. Business Model
Cyberpong has built out a fully working MVP with 3 venues which can be accessed through the website. In the next instance, we will raise funds through the sale of 6,106 NFTs to further build out the website as well as start the development of the actual multiplayer game.
