Monkey King
Ecosystem Whitepaper
On-chain numbered collectibles · AAA game partnership · Hold a card = whitelist
Monkey King Returns is not another “token + JPEG.” Phase I mints 10,000 genesis cards and runs MK on BSC; Phase II builds Monkey King: Three Realms with Stormforge. The expedition burns compute — so every MK trade tax is forged into claimable NVIDIA stock RWA (NVDAon). Hold a card = whitelist — and a share of the compute throne.
Executive Summary
Overview
Monkey King Returns has Eastern myth as bone and AAA games as flesh. MK is the grain of the expedition; numbered NFTs are the genesis pass. Trade tax does not burn into nothing — it flows into the NVIDIA compute river and back to holders by star tier (on-chain asset: NVDAon).
Hotter markets, thicker tax, more NVIDIA RWA on each card. You are not holding a JPEG — you hold a share of the invisible compute that carries the Sage’s next journey.
This document is for community and partners. Phase I is on-chain and verifiable; Phase II is planned direction subject to project announcements.
Two-Phase Strategy
- Phase I (Live) — MK token, 10,000 NFTs, MK mining pool, NVIDIA NVDAon dividends, marketplace, referrals
- Phase II (In Development) — Monkey King: Three Realms AAA action RPG; hold a card = whitelist; tier-mapped in-game privileges
Section 01
Vision
1.1 What We Are Building
Three things — none optional:
- Turn myth into a real game — a Stormforge cross-platform AAA expedition.
- Turn the ticket into verifiable on-chain assets — 10,000 numbered cards, mint-and-done; hold a card = whitelist, access travels with the card.
- Turn trade heat into claimable compute blue chips — 100% of MK buy/sell tax buys NVIDIA NVDAon by tier.
Old divine power was cloud-somersaults and fiery eyes. New divine power is framerate, models, and silicon. Whoever owns compute owns this age’s seventy-two transformations — and the industry’s answer is NVIDIA. Holders claim ecosystem MK and external NVIDIA RWA side by side.
1.2 Market Opportunity
| Challenge | Monkey King Response |
|---|---|
| Low-quality blockchain games with poor retention | Partner with a top-tier international studio for AAA Phase II production |
| Whitelist access dominated by bots and scalpers | Hold a card = whitelist; on-chain verifiable, transferable with the asset |
| Tokens lacking real utility | Mint burn + DEX tax buys NVIDIA RWA + Phase II MK sinks |
| NFTs with no long-term roadmap | MK pool + NVIDIA NVDAon + game privileges + seasons |
| Games cut off from real assets | Trade tax buys NVIDIA stock RWA for NFT holders |
Section 02
Phase I — On-Chain Ecosystem
Phase I is the value foundation of the Monkey King (MK) ecosystem. Core rules are encoded in BSC smart contracts — minting, dividends, taxes, and marketplace settlement execute automatically on-chain, auditable by anyone without trusting a centralized backend.
2.1 Core Modules
| Module | User Value |
|---|---|
| Monkey King (MK) | Ecosystem currency; 2% buy/sell tax 100% buys NVIDIA NVDAon |
| Numbered Collectibles | 50,000 MK per mint; random tier and unique serial number |
| Mining Pool | MK rewards by tier (~every 24h) |
| NVIDIA Dividends | Tax-bought NVDAon by tier; separate from the MK pool |
| NFT Market | BNB trading; fees feed ecosystem reserve |
| Referral Program | Earn instant MK when invited users mint |
Section 03
Token Model (Monkey King / MK)
3.1 Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Name / Symbol | Monkey King / MK |
| Total Supply | 810,000,000 |
| Network | BNB Smart Chain |
| DEX Buy / Sell Tax | 2% each — 100% to RWA vault → NVIDIA stock RWA (NVDAon) |
3.2 Mint Allocation (50,000 MK per collectible)
| Destination | Share | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent Burn | 55% | Sent to dead address; continuous deflation |
| Mining Pool | 40% | Rewards pool for collectible holders |
| Referral Rewards | 5% | Direct 4% + indirect 1%; instant payout |
3.3 Value Flywheel
Mint → burn + pool → claim MK → DEX tax → BNB vault buys NVIDIA NVDAon → claim compute blue chips → market fees → reserve back to pool → Phase II game sinks → flywheel
Section 04
Numbered Collectibles (MKNFT)
4.1 Five Tiers
Fixed supply of 10,000; mint closes permanently when sold out. Higher tiers carry scarcer serial numbers. MK pool and NVIDIA dividends share by tier; Phase II game privileges scale with tier level.
4.2 Four Pillars
- Asset Value — Unique on-chain serial; freely tradable on the NFT market
- Ecosystem Yield — MK mining-pool rights; ~daily release; transfers with the NFT
- Compute Blue Chip — NVIDIA NVDAon dividend rights driven by trade tax
- Access Value — Hold a card = whitelist; higher tiers unlock greater privileges (Section 6)
Section 05

Section 06
Phase II — Game Universe
Phase II is the ecosystem's inflection point. We will launch Monkey King: Three Realms — a cross-platform AAA action RPG starring Sun Wukong, built on Unreal Engine 5 for PC, iOS, and Android, operated as a live-service seasonal title.
Core commitment: hold a card = whitelist.
Any MKNFT permanently grants Phase II game access. No forms, no raffles, no separate application. One collectible in your wallet, one guaranteed spot. Sell the collectible, the access transfers with it.
6.1 Game Overview
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Title | Monkey King: Three Realms |
| Genre | AAA Action RPG · Live-Service Seasons |
| Platforms | PC · iOS · Android (cross-play) |
| Engine | Unreal Engine 5 |
| Art Direction | Eastern mythology × next-gen realism; cinematic cutscenes |
| Core Loops | Open-world exploration · Boss raids · Async PvP · Mount Huaguo social hub |
| Blockchain | Hold a card = whitelist · Wallet login · MK in-game utility (planned) |
6.2 Gameplay Preview (Planned)
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Havoc in Heaven | Main PvE campaign with cinematic boss fights; high-tier collectibles unlock hidden chapters |
| Three Realms Journey | Quarterly seasonal leaderboards; all collectible holders eligible; premium tier tracks for ★4/★5 |
| Mount Huaguo | 3D social hub; bind collectible to unlock personal grotto and display serial number & tier badge |
| Dharma Arena | Async PvP; seasonal honor rankings and exclusive cosmetics |
Gameplay details represent Phase II planning direction. Stormforge has commenced Pre-Alpha development; closed testing is expected following Phase I sell-out.
6.3 Hold a Card = Whitelist · Tier Privileges
Phase II will not open unrestricted public registration. Hold a card = whitelist. Numbered collectibles are the sole on-chain access credential — holding is enough; there is no separate whitelist list. Tier level determines privilege depth. We enforce a strict "privilege ≠ power" principle — higher tiers receive earlier access, exclusive cosmetics, and unique content, not pay-to-win stat advantages.
Full game access (hold a card = whitelist) · Standard season pass · Core dungeons & social features · Mount Huaguo grotto
All Pathfinder privileges · 7-day early season access · Exclusive dungeons & rare cosmetics · Dedicated leaderboard track
All Victorious privileges · Closed beta priority invite · Limited-edition skins & titles · Season commemorative digital collectibles · Governance voting weight
6.4 How to Use (No Application)
Mint or buy MKNFT; hold a card = whitelist
Same BSC wallet; ownership and tier are recognized automatically
One-time binding; new holder rebinds after transfer
Auto-renew each season; no re-application
Section 07
Ecosystem Flywheel
7.1 Mining Pool (MK)
- Funded by: 40% of each mint + daily ecosystem reserve release after sell-out
- Release: 1% of pool balance every 24 hours; active tiers share equally (~20% each when all filled)
- On transfer: pending rewards settle to seller; buyer inherits rights
7.2 NVIDIA Stock RWA Dividends (NVDAon)
Three Realms needs UE5 cinematic scenes — that burns compute. The company that sells the world’s “compute tickets” is NVIDIA. We do not name-drop; every MK trade is written straight into holders’ wallets as NVDAon.
Picture an invisible river: upstream DEX trades, midstream a BNB tax vault, downstream NVIDIA RWA split by five star tiers onto each genesis card. Faster current, thicker blue chips. Fewer cards in a tier, more per card — scarcity was always part of the Sage’s legend.
| Step | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tax | 2% on each MK buy and sell |
| Vault | Tax swapped to BNB → 100% StockVault (RWA vault) |
| Acquire | Vault acquires NVIDIA stock RWA token NVDAon on BSC |
| Split | By five NFT tiers; active tiers share; equal per NFT within tier |
| Claim | Holders claim NVDAon separately from the MK pool |
MK pool releases ~every 24h; NVDAon is claimable after vault acquisition. Fewer NFTs in a tier means more NVDAon per card.
7.3 NFT Marketplace
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Settlement | BNB |
| Minimum listing | 0.01 BNB |
| Fee | 5% → ecosystem reserve |
| Significance | Buy a collectible → dual dividends; hold a card = whitelist |
Section 08
Community Growth
Monkey King Returns growth is driven by genuine community sharing. The referral program rewards members with instant on-chain MK when invited users mint — transparent rules, automatic execution.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Binding | New users bind a referrer before first mint; one-time, permanent |
| Direct reward | 2,000 MK per mint (4% of mint cost) |
| Indirect reward | 500 MK (1% of mint cost) |
| No referrer | Referral allocation burned — additional deflation |
Additional community incentive programs will be announced through project channels. Certain partner-level benefits are reserved for invited participants and are not disclosed in this document.
