1 A word from our Founder
The famous words of Deb Schultz – “Technology changes, humans don’t”. In this world
of accelerated technological innovations, the rise of electric vehicles, the advent of
commercial trips to space and the massive fight on climate change, these are all
indications that we are still humans and evolving our experiences and way of life.
The notion of the virtual worlds became evident to me back in 2017 when the second
crypto craze came about; specifically, virtual land was most intriguing. A couple of years
later, the inkling of conceptualising virtual land with extended reality technologies came
about and birthed the idea of Vault Hill.
The world is constantly evolving, and the market size for the internet, eXtended reality
and metaverse users is growing exponentially. Our metaverse is very community-
oriented; as such, we plan on raising funds through an initial decentralised exchange
offering to ensure our community takes part at an early stage and benefits from sticking
with us on this journey.
I am immensely grateful to lead a diverse and talented team to drive our growth
trajectory and impact positive and constructive change globally.
Thank you for taking the time to read our White paper and join us on this journey to be
the best human-centric metaverse created.

2 Executive Summary
Vault Hill aims to create a metaverse called Vault Hill City (VHC) – a collection of virtual
shared space including the sum of all virtual worlds and the Internet. 1In VHC, users can
interact with computer-generated imagery (CGI) and other users. We believe eXtended
reality (XR), a mix of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality is at the forefront
of enhancing human experiences whilst leveraging the power of blockchain, artificial
intelligence and cloud computing technologies. This supports the innovation of Web
3.0.
VHC proposes to build the first extended reality metaverse focusing on themes of the
basic human instincts, such as curiosity, vision, community, idealism, vitality, romance,
and imagination. In building this, we are starting with the infrastructure of the
metaverse, which is virtual real estate and a product – Virtual land ($VLAND), a non-
fungible token (NFT). The virtual real estate will be designed using urban planning to
give developers and users a sustainable and dynamic experience.
Market Conditions:
As more decentralised metaverses are created, standardising the use throughout the
Blockchain is imperative. In the current state of play, real estate prices fluctuate, land
parcels frequently remain undeveloped, and v-commerce adoption is limited.
Furthermore, the XR hardware is not cost-effective, adding to other market factors that
challenge the virtual real estate space and widespread adoption.
Problem Assessment:
The key challenges are the lack of intuitive and rich user experience for users,
substandard in-built metaverse developer applications for content developers. This is
mainly due to poor development as most metaverses leverage open-source applications
with poor CGIs and output; coupled with poor mesh optimisation.
Poor CGIs negatively impact the fully immersed and interactive user experience coupled
with several factors that have slowed VR/AR technology adoption rates.
Notwithstanding, significant upsides remain for VR/AR technology and the industry as a
whole. According to Goldman Sachs, the VR/AR industry had a value of $40.4 billion
($24.1 billion – software and $16.3 billion – hardware) as of 2020 with a predicted value
of $80 billion ($35 billion – software and $45 billion – hardware) by 2025.2
Vault Hill aims to build an extended reality metaverse that makes us feel a bit more
human every time we visit. A limitless world with a guiding principle – to enhance the
h uman experience.

3 Introduction
3.1 Background
Over the last decade, Blockchain technology has emerged, disrupting the real estate,
entertainment, education, and financial services industries. To grasp the potential of
Blockchain, think about how foreign and overwhelming the Internet felt in when it first
appeared a few decades ago. Now think about about where we are today.
Today, the XR world has begun embracing the possibilities offered by Blockchain
technology as an emerging industry that deals with many challenges in the supply chain,
payment systems, and transaction tracking. Thus, Blockchain technology is poised to
revolutionise innovative start-ups in handling their operations and commercialising their
products to consumers.
With XR and Blockchain currently being among the most popular topics globally, it is
proper to explore how these two forces work together. Furthermore, in examining the
current state of the XR industry, it is clear that leveraging Blockchain and cloud
computing technologies will resolve the imminent challenges of security and
authenticity.

5 How Vault Hill City Works
At VHC, users can explore the virtual world, build edifices, play games, and interact with
other users. VHC will have the first virtual world with urban planning and development
benefits to ensure users build on their lands respectfully.
Ecosystem
VLAND
Marketplace
VHC Owner
Users who own virtual land in Vault Hill City. VHC owners have total creative freedom on
their parcel to build fitness and wellbeing centres, museums, art galleries, empathy
training centres, educational centres, or anything else they can imagine while earning
returns as other users interact with the projects on their parcel in line with the urban
planning guidelines. These creations can also be simulated with extended reality to
enrich the user experience. In addition, VHC owners can choose to hold their VLAND
(potentially) to sell later at a higher price in the marketplace.
VHC Creator
Users who possess the original rights to create 3D and XR experiences in VHC
leveraging the innovation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). VHC creators who create in
VHC can ascribe some of their content creation as NFTs to ensure authenticity and
originality while leveraging Blockchain, artificial intelligence and cloud computing
technology to maintain the highest security level.
VHC User
Users who experience the VHC metaverse, pay for products and services in VHC.
MEMBER
5.2 VLAND
The VHC ecosystem is underpinned by 3D boxes covering the entire VHC metaverse.
VLAND will be unique and scarce; only the VHC owners with their private keys of the
Ethereum address owning the VLAND NFT can control it. The safeguarding of private
keys is very important, if this is lost, the control of the VLAND will also be lost forever.
There will only be 10,000 VLAND created and split into four islands; these islands are
aimed to be developed within a four-year period. This is to ensure scarcity and adequate
value creation for users and investors.
Figure 4 shows the VLAND allocation: 70% (7000 VLAND) for sale, 15% (1500 VLAND)
for the Vault Hill team, 10% (1000 VLAND) for the community, marketing and
promotions and 5% (500 VALND) for reserves.
Community (10%)

The base price of VLAND will be determined closer to the release as per the roadmap
and effectively communicated as part of our marketing campaign.

5.3 Districts within VHC
VHC is circular and made up of four islands. Each island will comprise of seven districts
with different themes based on human instincts and functions, as shown in Figure1 and
2.

5.4 VHC Development Plan
Figure 5
There are four categories of VLAND, which seek to promote interaction and diversity
among users. Figure 6, and 7 depicts the typologies as organised within a 160mx160m
coordinate system (boundary). Every single coordinate is divided into a 16mx16m grid
that defines the position of the VLAND. A block is a group of lands that form a square.
This gives creators and landowners great space to build, advertise, and showcase their
products/services.

5.6 Vault Hill City Marketplace
A key feature of the VHC marketplace will be to enable transactions for VHC virtual
assets that can be traded on the VHC platform as shown in Figure 8. The VHC
marketplace will be developed and managed using smart contracts, which will be fully
decentralised. VHC ecosystem actors will be able to transact here using the VHC token.
These transactions will all be recorded on the Blockchain.

6.3 Security
The VHC marketplace relies on the security of the Ethereum Blockchain, which is
immutable and secure for the functioning of its smart contracts. In addition, we will be
introducing a layer 2 solution to improve security, scalability and reduce gas fees.
The database will be managed using a reputable decentralised protocol to cache the
smart contract events and track ownership. Minimal temporary assets may be stored
here to minimise any risks.
A smart contract audit is planned for all our smart contracts that will be implemented
within the VHC platform.

6.4 Technology Solution
Virtual Assets
VHC enables design, creation, sale, resale, storage, and security of digital assets, such
as virtual goods (VLAND, Buildings, Avatar, Virtual arts).
Virtual assets are presented as NFT created using ERC-721 smart contracts. With the
introduction of ERC-1155 which has the benefits and ability to store under its control,
tokens that can act as if they were an ERC-20/ERC-721 token, or both at the same time
under the same contract; will be implemented at a later stage.
Virtual assets are under the direct control of owners, stored in their digital wallet of their
choice. Users will have the ability to combine multiple virtual assets into a single
ERC-1155 non-fungible token once implemented.
Virtual assets such as avatars and wearables will have the functionality of portability and
interoperability, i.e., these assets can be used in other metaverses and vice versa.
Economy
VHC aims to enable a thriving economy for all the ecosystem participants: Owners,
Users and Creators through the marketplace. $VHC, an ERC-20 native utility token, is to
be used to govern the virtual platform and all in-metaverse economic transactions.
VHC tokens will be available for purchase from decentralised and centralised exchanges.
Payment capabilities to support the trade of VLAND and virtual assets via the
marketplace will be made available.

7 Tokenomics
Token Name Token Symbol Token Standard Maximum Supply
Vault Hill City $VHC ERC-20 340,000,000
Token valuation - The token valuation will be performed using a discounted cash flow
analysis, which is the generally accepted approach for cash flow generating assets and
productive tokens.
Token sale - The token sale will be structured as a staged approach with the primary
target audience being Private Investors and later the general public through an Initial
DEX Offerings (IDO).
Token supply mechanism - The $VHC token is a deflationary token facilitated by the
buyback and Liquidity pool (LP) mechanism.
The VHC platform focuses on the rapidly growing metaverse to offer users a way to
purchase, rent, upgrade and resell virtual property with options for minting NFTs and
creator royalties. The $VHC token is a payment settlement & governance token for the
Vault Hill City platform. The token facilitates additional functions as both an incentive for
good actors (via its rewards distributions) and a payment option, offering additional
discounts to its users. The below are the functions of the token

MEMBER
Payment settlement - While not the primary function of the $VHC token, it can still be
used as a pure medium of exchange/payment token for transactions on the $VHC
platform along with other cryptocurrencies. Payments made in the $VHC token will
enjoy a 40% discount on the fee of the transaction.
Rewards - The VHC platform will reward users who contribute to its growth and
development. The following actions prompt daily reward distribution
Provide liquidity for the $VHC/USDC pair on Uniswap and stake the resulting LP
token
Participate in system governanc
Users of the platform who make purchases
The rewards will be distributed from a fixed supply reward pool. The rewards will be
distributed daily and will be based on the outstanding tokens in the pool. 0.05% of the
outstanding tokens in the pool would be distributed daily between all groups of people
eligible for rewards (the exact percentage allocation, to be determined later). The above
setup means that:
The reward pool can never be depleted since the rewards are always distributed as a
percentage of the outstanding tokens in the poo
The rewards get less and less over time (Bitcoin style), but the net USD value of the
rewards might increase if the $VHC token price increase
This rewards mechanism provides capped inflation and is compatible with fixed
supply tokens (as opposed to perpetual inflation)
Figure 11 depicts the rewards distribution (as cumulative of all distributed tokens from
the reward pool):
Figure 11

MEMBER
Perpetual royalties - Creators who mint their NFT on the VHC platform can enjoy
perpetual royalties from their creation. Virtual land, wearables, and add-ons can be sold
and resold as NFTs, with a set % of the sale price being distributed to the creator of the
NFT and Vault Hill City. The pay-out can happen in the native token or another
cryptocurrency.
Once the NFT is transferred to another marketplace such as OpenSea, the continuous
royalties are discontinued.
Buyback and Liquidity Pool (LP) - Buyback and Liquidity Pool (LP) - With the
emergence of Decentralised Finance (DeFi) and Automated Market Makers (AMM) such
as Uniswap, a new approach has emerged, with the core benefits of the buyback and
burn approach together with the added value of deeper liquidity - buyback and
liquidity provision. In this scenario, instead of burning tokens, they are first provided as
liquidity for the token on its primary AMM market. Then the resulting LP tokens are
burned, thus combining the benefits of the reduced token supply with deeper liquidity
for the token.
The platform will dedicate 20% of all fees collected to a Buyback and LP program. This
means that the $VHC token will have a constantly decreasing supply, with the rate of
decrease being proportional to 20% of the platform’s fees.
21
MEMBER
Governance – The decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) is to be instituted
within the platform and facilitated by staking the $VHC token in the governance contract
of the platform. Staking for longer duration yields more voting power. Voting power will
be determined by the formula:
Where
VP = Voting powe
Ts = is the number of staked token
M = is a multiplier based on staking duration
M = 1 + 0.2 x D 1/2
Where (D) is the duration of the stake in weeks, this gives us the following multiplier
curve based on duration as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12
Multiplier bonding
curve
Early days - during this period the team is in complete control of the project, and no
voting is done. This is because there will be bugs and events which require
immediate hotfixes, and this cannot be done democraticall
Semi-decentralisation - during this period, the team is still in complete control of
the project and can deploy hotfixes same as above, but for the non-urgent decision,
it can take community input via a forum or even via off-chain voting like a snapshot -
https://snapshot.page/#/
Complete decentralisation - during this stage the project is fully decentralised, and
all decisions are made via a strict procedure, and all voting is done on-chain. The
platform’s governance rules will be based on state-of-the-art governance systems
such as Uniswap5or Compound 6

9 Growth Strategy
The growth strategy for Vault Hill City will be a crucial component in promoting the
project. The growth plan covers three objectives: ignite, inspire, invite
Ignite: Attract the right kinds of products and services to VHC and ignite their desire
to buy land. Emphasise the brand name and product point of difference to create
buzz and interest pre-product launc
Inspire: Make an entrance on the XR stage, and establish Vault Hill’s reputation as an
XR disruptor. Create a reputable model for predictable lead generation through
digital media and inbound organic channel
Invite: Populate VHC with citizens that are excited to enhance their humanity.
Generate significant yearly sales growth and reduce customer acquisition costs
through outbound marketing methods to enhance our adoption rates and
dependency on the existing client portfolio
Social Media - Social media will play a major role in the Vault Hill marketing ecosystem.
Social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and Telegram allow the
company to advertise directly to the target audience and track progress relatively
inexpensively. Social media platforms are also an effective way to create a following
behind the brand, tracking popular trends and promotions.
Public Relations/Trade Shows and Conference - VHC drive disruptive PR spikes that
will generate buzz for the brand. This a cost-effective strategy for building our
followerbase , and standing out when over investing in awareness marketing is not an
option. The brand needs to be recognised at all virtual gatherings to promote the brand
and unique offerings continuously.
Website - The website tells the story of VHC and promotes our innovative approach,
plus differenatiated products and services within VHC. The website is at the centre of all
marketing activity; we have designed it to ensure it aligns with our branding, is easy to
navigate, and provides a completely seamless customer experience. Additionally, as we
integrate technology in line with our roadmap, our website will reflect these updates to
ensure our stakeholders are kept up to date
27
MEMBER
A key component of our outbound marketing efforts will be to display our value
proposition to our customers. This will include the use of cold calling, media buys, and
direct lead emails to help put our value proposition in front of our target customers.
Developing relationships with key industry stakeholders is also a way for us to gain
strategic relationships within the industry, allowing us to generate leads and onboard
customers.
Inbound Marketing - Inbound Marketing Vault Hill will continue to adopt a direct sales
model to all targeted customer organisations. The objective is to remain in touch with
potential customers by building awareness and boosting sales through inbound solid
marketing leads. Inbound strategies will include on-site and off-site content marketing,
which is helpful in several ways. Not only does new content drive new readers to our
site, it keeps our existing readers and customers engaged with our brand, allowing us to
maximise client retention.
