Interlude: the scavenger hunt protocol
Join thousands of players and hundreds of developers in a global, collaboratively designed scavenger hunt game.
Keys

The Shell is a standard ERC20 token. It has a fixed supply and is completely decentralized.
The only way to mine new tokens is to play the game and find keys. When a player finds a key new tokens are created and shared between the player and the developer that hid the key.
Like Bitcoin, it is designed to be harder to mine as more users join the project. So join early while it's easy to create new tokens!
Day One is today!
Creation of the Shell token, private pre-sale (seed round).
Opening of our Continuous Token Offering.
Playable demo available, publication of the whitepaper
First Key Hunt, demonstrating the game concept, followed by the first public token crowdsale (ICO).
Opening of the project to third-party developers. Publication of the dev tools to create Keys. Testing phase of the KeyHunt algorithm. The KeyHunt smart contract is deployed on a private Ethereum blockchain on our server.
Launch on mainnet (beta): deployment of the KeyHunt contract on Ethereum mainnet, still under centralized control. Modifications of the KeyHunt algorithm may still happen.
Final launch. We burn the bridges, the Key Hunt is now completely decentralized. Its rules are fixed and carved into the Ethereum blockchain, with no outside control whatsoever.
Here are simple answers to the first questions you could ask. If you want more details, you'll have to read our whitepaper!
