Dysnomia — The Player's Guide
Welcome. If you’ve played a web3 game before or used an MMO, most of what follows will click quickly. If some term looks unfamiliar, check the Glossary — every in-world word is translated.
What is Dysnomia?
Section titled “What is Dysnomia?”Dysnomia is an on-chain MMO that runs entirely on PulseChain. Your character, your inventory, your chatrooms, your territory, your currencies — everything lives as smart contracts. Nobody can shut down a server. Nobody can rug your account. Your wallet is your login, and your in-game actions settle on-chain.
Think of it as: MMO + chat platform + DeFi protocol, all sharing one persistent state.
The elevator pitch
Section titled “The elevator pitch”- You sign up by deploying a personal token called a LAU. That token is your character.
- You start playing and a personal bank called a YUE gets set up for you.
- You walk the MAP and find QINGs — venues, chatrooms, or marketplaces — each wrapped around a token.
- You Join, Chat, and accumulate power.
- You Claim land in the WORLD near venues you care about and earn VITUS (creator credits).
- You fight WARs against other players to earn H2O (water tokens).
- You Withdraw your earnings from your YUE to your wallet whenever you like.
That’s the whole game in one paragraph. The rest of this guide fills in the details.
If you already know these, you already know Dysnomia
Section titled “If you already know these, you already know Dysnomia”| If you know… | Then Dysnomia’s… |
|---|---|
| An ERC-20 token with transfers & allowances | Every Dysnomia asset behaves this way (LAU, YUE, QING, H2O, VITUS are all tokens). |
| A Uniswap v2 pool | A QING is kind of like that — a place holding value that other people interact with. |
| A Steam / Xbox profile | Your LAU plays the same role — display name, achievements, identity. |
| A Discord server with access rules | That’s a QING with a cover charge and a guest list. |
| Minting an NFT to prove membership | “Entering Dysnomia” is minting your LAU. |
| Staking for rewards | Holding tokens at a venue (MAI) earns you chat rewards. |
| DAO voting weight | Yuan is your weighted token holdings — used as power in the game. |
| Land in The Sandbox / Decentraland | WORLD territory works similarly, but claimable via Code(). |
| Block hashes / state commits | Pole is a 3-slot commit of the game’s global state. |
The first 10 minutes as a new player
Section titled “The first 10 minutes as a new player”- Sign up —
LAUFactory.New()deploys a fresh LAU with your wallet as an owner. - Create your bank —
SEI.Start()creates your YUE, thenCHOA.Play()registers the already-started player. - Pick a venue — Browse the MAP. Every QING has coordinates. Walk in and
Join(pay cover if there is one). - Chat — use
CHOA.Chat(qing, "hello world")for QING chat with the MAI reward calculation. Direct QING chat only emits the venue message. - Claim territory — Stand on a spot you like and call
WORLD.Code(). You’ve just become a landowner. Every claim earns VITUS into your YUE. - Pull supported rewards — use the reward asset’s player withdrawal route, such as
VITUS.Withdraw, after enabling that asset through CHAN.
Use these calls here. Simulations preview the current state; each confirmed call is a separate transaction.

Safety and opt-in
Section titled “Safety and opt-in”- Contracts can’t touch your YUE unless you explicitly opt them in through CHAN. Think of it like a per-contract allowance list.
- Your LAU is always owned by your wallet.
onlyOwnersprotects every withdraw. - Your Soul is 64 bits — there are billions of possible IDs, randomly assigned. Souls are not reused or transferable.
Where to go next
Section titled “Where to go next”- New? Start with Your Player Account (LAU).
- Want to browse venues? Read about the MAP, then QING.
- Want rewards? See WAR + H2O, WORLD + VITUS, and the soeng power chain.
- Curious about how it all hangs together under the hood? Read the Under the Hood section, starting with SHA.
A few things Dysnomia is NOT
Section titled “A few things Dysnomia is NOT”- Not a PvP arena game. WAR exists but battles are economic — winning means holding more power at a venue, not reflexes.
- Not a play-to-earn pyramid. Rewards scale with real contributions (chat activity, held tokens, territory). There’s no daily claim faucet.
- Not custodial. Your wallet owns your LAU. Your LAU owns itself (via multi-owner). No intermediary can seize anything.
- Not financial advice. Tokens are gameplay mechanics. Don’t treat this guide as investment guidance.
Welcome in. Good luck out there.
