SIP-13: Levels v2 Product feature set Ideation

Motivation

Samurai Levels represents a Samurai Node NFT holder exclusive feature that gamifies, incentivises and rewards accurate understanding and knowledge of web3-related concepts with xHNR governance tokens.

This proposal suggests, specifies and outlines a proposition for a new version / iteration of Samurai Levels (version 2).

The propositions brought forward are based on the product’s current functionality, limitations and received community feedback.

The proposal suggests for Samurai Levels v2 to adopt the following frontend and smart contract updates:

Initiate revenue generation by collecting fees The proposal suggests that Samurai Levels v2 should introduce a fee collection mechanism. The collected fees shall be directed towards the protocol's treasury. By implementing this revenue generation strategy, Samurai Levels v2 aims to enhance its long-term viability and maintain its operational importance for the protocol.
Expand the scope of knowledge base In order to cater to a broader audience and foster a more diverse learning environment, the proposal suggests expanding the scope of Samurai Levels v2's knowledge base. This expansion would go beyond solely focusing on Solidity and web3-related topics, encompassing a wider range of subjects, including general web development and other digital knowledge/skills. By diversifying the knowledge base, Samurai Levels v2 aims to attract a larger user base, catering to individuals with varied interests and expertise, thus promoting a more inclusive and comprehensive learning experience.
Implement a leaderboard To enhance user engagement and promote a sense of competition among users, Samurai Levels v2 shall incorporate the use of a leaderboard. This feature will provide users with a clear view of their ranking and the number of points they have earned. By introducing a leaderboard, the platform aims to create a more user-friendly and interactive experience, encouraging healthy competition among learners. The introduction of a leaderboard would arguably serve as an amplifying social function that enhances the virality of the Levels product and can lead to greater user traction, increased user retention, and a heightened sense of competitiveness, ultimately contributing to a more vibrant and dynamic learning ecosystem.
Change requirements To mitigate the impact of arbitrageurs and ensure a more balanced and fair gameplay experience, the proposal suggests changing the requirements to participate in Samurai Levels v2. Specifically, the current requirement of having at least 1 Honour Node NFT in the wallet shall be increased to having at least 100 Honour Nodes in the wallet to be eligible to access and play Samurai Levels v2. By adjusting the requirements, a more secure and equitable environment would be created, discouraging excessive gaming of the system and promoting a level playing field for all protocol users. This change will contribute to the integrity and authenticity of the learning experience provided by Samurai Levels v2.

Furthermore, the protocol shall mint a tokenomic allocation of 20 000 000 xHNR for the purposes of facilitating the Samurai Levels v2 feature.

The protocol shall also forfeit its ownership of the existing Samurai Levels contract, which stores the 14 190 310 xHNR tokens to ensure that these tokens are not retrievable.

If the proposal above is approved, the relevant frontend changes and Solidity development shall commence. The concrete Solidity code and required technological adoptions for the protocol shall be detailed in a separate governance proposal.
