Chicken Derby NFT - Interview with the Chief Chicken (founder) and Ben Jammin

Chicken Derby is a game where users can own and race their own chicken to earn Ethereum (ETH). There are 33,333 chickens available on the Ethereum blockchain. Each chicken is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) with unique stats.[1][26]

It was developed by Bitlovin team, an innovative crypto gaming company.[2]

Overview

Image

Chicken Derby is the first online NFT chicken game, where users can own and race their own chicken to earn Ethereum (ETH).

There are 33,333 NFT chickens available on the Ethereum Blockchain.

With just one chicken, users can enter and compete in races that unfold live.

Users earn ETH from racing chickens.

The chickens can also be sold to other owners for a profit or bred with other best racers chickens to create strong offspring.[3]

NFT Chicken

An NFT Chicken is what a user needs to participate in Chicken Derby.

In Chicken Derby, users can race their chicken against other opponent’s chickens.

Each chicken has its own stats and skills that it'll use to help it win the race.[4]

Image

If a user’s chicken is skilled enough and it is entered into the right races, it may win.

When the user’s chicken wins, the user also wins, since every race gives a cash reward to the top 3 finishers.[4]

Heritage

Each chicken comes from four different heritages.

Serama

A new breed from Malaysia that was designed for racing. They are fast, nimble, and hard to hit. There are few around but if you can grab one, you have yourself a strong racer.

Sultan

From the palaces of the Ottoman Empire, the Serai-Tavuk (Fowls of the Sultan) were bred for their plumage. This exclusive breeding gave them unique muscle structure, making them enduring racers.

Lakenvelder

A chaotic breed from Europe, its true origins are unclear. Of either Dutch or Germanic descent, the Lakenvelder are known for their thick thighs, tenacious attitude, and wild nature.

Dorking

An old Breed from Britain with roots back to the Roman Empire.

Sturdy and steadfast, the Dorking is a very common breed that does well on its home turf.

Perfection

Each chicken has a perfection score, from 1% to 100%.

A 100% perfect chicken is a top performer of the highest calibre.

Normally, a 100% perfect chicken will beat a 99% perfect chicken every time.

But given the right circumstances, the 99% perfect chicken can win, as no chicken is truly perfect.[1]

In the initial run of chickens, all chickens will have a Perfection score of 90% or higher.[4]

Stock

A chicken’s stock is a rough guide to how far removed from its original predecessor it is.

There are 6 stocks, from Spicy, Robust Fresh, Crisp, Tender to Bland.

[2]

Spicy chickens are generally stronger, but not always so.

Stock is only one of the factors that determine a chicken's performance during a race.

By breeding smart, users can create offspring that are as strong or stronger than their parents.[4]

Talent

Each chicken has a special talent that if fortunate, they can perform during a race.

They might start flying to overtake other racers, or launch a deadly blue egg to take out a leading opponent.

Some talents are rarer than others, and their successful execution might mean a victory for the user’s chicken.

Terrain

Each race track has one of seven terrain types.

Dirt, Grass, Road, Rock, Sand, Snow, and Track.

Each chicken has a single terrain preference and will perform better in races that have a matching terrain type.

If users discover their chicken’s preference, it can lead to more consistent wins.

Gender

A Chicken can be either a Hen (female) or a Rooster (male).

Performance

How well each chicken will perform in a given race is based on a variety of variables.

Heritage, Stock, Perfection, Consistency and Terrain Preference are the primary variables to consider when determining how well your chicken will do.

How important each one is will vary from chicken to chicken and from race to race.

Chicken Distribution

Some chickens are just naturally better than others.

To keep the gameplay interesting, the team limited the number of strong chickens.

Here is a breakdown of heritages found in the initial run of 33,333 chickens.

The strong Seramas are few in number, while the Dorkings are more numerous.

But a Dorking can beat a Serama, as heritage is just one of the stats that go towards a chicken's performance.

Racing Chickens

Entering A Race

Image

Races are the primary activity for your chicken.

Each race consists of 8 chickens, each of which will try their hardest to win.

Race Distances

The following race distances are available: 100m, 120m, 140m, 160m, 180m, 200m.

The longer the race, the longer it'll take.

Terrains

Each race will have one of seven different terrain types.

Dirt, Grass, Road, Rock, Sand, Snow or Track.

A chicken will typically perform better on a terrain type that matches its terrain preference.

Pecking Order

When a race is generated it is given a Pecking Order (PO).

Each chicken also has a PO, which is based on its Pecking Order Points (POP).

A chicken may only enter a race that has a matching PO.

Pecking Order (PO)

Pecking Order Points (POP)

A60+
B40 to 59
C0 to 39
ChickUnraced

Each chicken is given a certain amount of POP when hatched, based on its Perfection and Stock.

After a race, your chicken will gain or lose POP based on its finishing position, gaining POP if it does well, losing it if it does poorly.

So the more POP your chicken has, the higher its PO shall be.

All newly hatched chickens will have the Pecking Order of Chick and can only enter Chick races (which are free!).

After that first race, your chicken will receive its PO and shall be able to enter other races.

Race Fees

Some races are free to enter, while others will have a fee.

We retain a small percentage of each fee, which is used to build Prize Pools for the free races and to keep the game running.

The rest of the fee creates the Prize Pool for that race.

The fee will vary from race to race, but the higher the fee, the bigger the reward you get should your chicken place.

Prize Pool

The Prize Pool is split between the top 3 finishers.

The percentage that each finisher receives is as follows.
