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.

Leveraging extended reality, blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies, we aim


to create a metaverse that focuses on the principles of create, experience and share
which enhances the human experience.

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.

Ramifications and Repercussions:

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

Th e promise of a Better Solution:

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.

XR technologies are at the forefront of the high-tech revolution, reshaping how


businesses position their offerings to improve their consumer experience. This
technology decades ago was pure science fiction but is now made into reality. Virtual
reality (VR) is widely used in all spheres of life, from entertainment and education to real
estate and travel industries. This growth is reflected in the market value as well - in 2019,
the global market value of VR was less than $15 billion. With Covid-19 accelerating
innovative technology, by 2023, it is anticipated to surpass $70 billion.

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.

Our Vision
Our Mission

To revolutionise extended reality To create a constructive metaverse that


so that it enhances the human focuses on the basic human instincts which
experience. allow for users, content creators, and
developers to explore their unrestricted
creative freedom whilst monetising their
creation in a secure ecosystem.

3.2 Problem

We want to transform how people engage with XR. Instead of making us feel less human
and less connected, XR technology can be used to make us feel more human, more in
tune with our emotions, and ultimately more alive.

To get there, we need to overcome a few functional problems first.

User
Lack of intuitive and rich user experienc
Barrier to participation due to access to XR hardware and high costs of
acquisition
Lack of choice - open/closed governanc
Data privacy and sovereignty

Content Creator
Inability to maximise content creation rewar
Lack of content ownership and lifelong royaltie
Poor in-built software application in current metaverse
Inadequate high-quality sustainable content

Investor
Unsustainable economic return
Lack of value creation

3.3 Solution
A constructive metaverse tha
Simplifies creator tools with dynamic user interfaces, which increases
adoption rate
Revolutionises XR to enhance the human experience powered by
Blockchain and artificial intelligence technology

A marketplace tha
Monetises content created by leveraging smart contract

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.

5.4 VHC Development Plan

VHC is a multi-metaverse layer divided parametrically into a grid as shown in Figure 5.


The parameters that define the morphology (urban fabric) follow the principles of
difference (the right to difference) and define the block typologies.

Figure 5

Vault Hill City


Development plan

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.

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.

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.

l - The VHC platform will allow users to purchase, lease and rent
land and add-ons in the metaverse, curate art and create various establishments to
attract visitors or sell upgraded properties and accessories. The platform will collect fees
for all these actions, including perpetual royalties.

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.

7.1 The Need for VHC Token and economy assumptions

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):

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.

Perpetual royalties work in the following way:

User A purchases land and “builds” an art museum on i


Multiple artworks are displayed in the museu
An NFT is minted and associated with the museum and all artwork within. As part of
the minting process, the creator sets a 10% rate of perpetual royalties. Those
royalties will be split between the creator (8%) and platform (2%
The NFT creator (User A) sells the museum’s NFT to User B. User A receives only the
sell amount and any fee
User B resells the NFT for 10 ETH to User C, User A receives 0.8 ETH of that sale as
royalties for his creation, and the platform takes 0.2 ETH as fee
User C later sells the museum for 20 ETH. User A again receives 8% (1.6 ETH) as
royalties, and the platform gets 2% (0.4 ETH) as fees

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.

Here is how this works in practice


User A comes to the platform and purchases services worth 1000 $VHC token
The platform collects a 20% fee or 200 $VHC
1/10th (20 tokens) of the fee is used for buyback and LP (B&LP). The remaining 180
tokens are used to fund the platform`s operation
Of the 20 tokens for B&LP, 10 are sold at the current market price on UniSwap (let’s
assume 0.10 USD), and thus 2 USDC are obtained
The resulting 10 $VHC and 2 USDC tokens are posted back as liquidity on UniSwap,
thus providing more $VHC tokens for people who want to buy them and more USDC
for people who wish to sell $VH
As liquidity is added, the resulting UNI-$VHC USDC LP tokens are burned (sent to an
unspendable address) so that the added liquidity can never be taken out of the pool.

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

The multiplier M (based on stake duration in weeks):

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

The platforms governance will have three distinct stages:

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

9.1 Promotion Strategy

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.

Pay-per-click - Pay-per-click advertising is an efficient way to target our demographic


and drive traffic through search engines. VHC will adopt this model for promotion.
Platforms like Google will serve as a medium to reach the target market while tracking a
strict budget plan.

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

Outbound Marketing - By adopting a combination of direct and indirect sales methods.


Key industry stakeholders that can help add value to the brand within our target market
will be approached directly to secure initial business development relationships.

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.

Off-site marketing campaigns will function similarly to on-site, prompting us to provide


well-written, targeted, valuable content. However, instead of publishing it on our site,
we will be publishing on Medium but integrating our page to our website; with this, we
leverage the reader base of Medium. The advantage of off-site content is the
opportunity to gain visibility with new audiences who may not have heard of our brand
otherwise. In addition, the strategy will help to generate referral traffic and support our
brand reputation and growth.
