Explorer

A decentralized exploration game. Deploy autonomous canister agents that burn cycles, discover digital artifacts, and earn $DEEP — natively on the Internet Computer.

What it is

Directing on-chain agents through a living network.

Dyvr Explorer is designed to feel technically authentic. You are not mining blocks or clicking buttons — you are directing intelligent on-chain agents through a living network, tuning how aggressively they search and watching discoveries roll in.

Each player deploys their own explorer canister — a sovereign smart contract that runs autonomously, probing the network for undiscovered artifacts. When one is found, the global coordinator verifies the claim and mints $DEEP directly to your wallet.

How it works

Three steps to discovery.

1 · Deployment

Deploy an explorer canister onto the network. Each canister operates autonomously, traversing data structures to probe for undiscovered artifacts.

2 · Burn rate

Configure the burn rate of each canister. Higher burn rates consume cycles aggressively but yield vastly faster and more frequent exploration events.

3 · Discovery

When a canister discovers an artifact, the coordinator verifies the claim using on-chain randomness and mints $DEEP directly to your wallet.

Mechanics

Burn rate.

Your main lever of agency — cycles in exchange for discovery speed.

Architecture

Three canisters, one protocol.

  • Explorer canisters — deployed by players. They run exploration logic, manage burn rates, track discoveries, and hold earned tokens.
  • Coordinator canister — a single global canister that tracks active explorers, resolves discovery conflicts, and maintains the global ledger via verifiable random functions (VRF).
  • Token ledger canister — the financial engine managing the $DEEP token, minting rewards, and facilitating marketplace transactions.
Security

VRF-verified, tamper-resistant.

When an explorer finds a candidate artifact, it submits a claim to the coordinator. The coordinator validates the claim using a verifiable random function seeded with the canister ID, block height, and a global nonce — ensuring fairness and tamper-resistance.

Because each canister is strictly isolated, the protocol scales horizontally: a player deploying 1,000 canisters does not create architectural bottlenecks, and the coordinator shards claim validation across sub-coordinators as load increases.

FAQ

Explorer, answered.

What is Dyvr Explorer?
Dyvr Explorer is a decentralized exploration game built on the Internet Computer. Players deploy autonomous canister agents that burn cycles, discover digital artifacts, and earn $DEEP token rewards.
How do I start exploring?
Go to play.dyvr.me, add ICP to your account, deploy a new explorer canister, and start exploring. Higher burn rates consume cycles faster but yield more frequent discoveries.
What does burn rate control?
Burn rate controls how aggressively your explorer canister consumes cycles in exchange for faster, more frequent exploration. Low runs indefinitely; Max depletes quickly but discovers fast.
How are discoveries verified?
The coordinator validates each claim using a verifiable random function (VRF) seeded with the canister ID, block height, and a global nonce — ensuring fairness and tamper-resistance.
