Item Token

In the Gallux ecosystem, item tokenization is a crucial feature that empowers players with ownership, fostering freedom of trade and interaction. Game developers on the Quantum Hub can create two primary types of tokens: Fungible Tokens (FTs) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Fungible Tokens (FTs): These are analogous to Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens and are typically used to represent in-game items such as potions, which are identical and interchangeable. Each unit of an FT holds the same value and characteristics as any other. This feature allows players to freely exchange these tokens without losing or gaining additional value.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): These tokens are unique and hold distinct values, making them akin to Ethereum's ERC-721 tokens. NFTs allow the tokenization of singular in-game items that carry specific metadata such as unique levels, attack stats, skills, and more. They are irreplaceable and provide a system of distinct value within the gaming space, enhancing the gaming experience and the value of gameplay.

Both FTs and NFTs can be owned by users as digital assets on the Gallux Hub and can be traded seamlessly using the Gallux MarketPlace. Additionally, the platform offers escrow features to ensure secure transactions between parties.

To add a layer of technical depth, these tokens exist as smart contracts on the Gallux blockchain, with each token following a standard protocol for their respective types - similar to the ERC standards on Ethereum. These protocols define a set of rules that each token type must follow, allowing them to interact seamlessly with other smart contracts and decentralized applications on the Gallux platform. This level of interoperability is what makes the Quantum ecosystem robust and flexible, creating a dynamic and vibrant virtual economy where players have true ownership and control over their digital assets.

A basic example of what a smart contract for a non-functioning token (NFT) might look like on the Ethereum network using the Solidity programming language. A similar implementation would be on the Gallux platform, it uses a similar smart contract structure:

pragma solidity >=0.5.0 <0.9.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

contract GALLUXIANSNFT is ERC721 {
    uint256 public tokenCounter;
    constructor () public ERC721 ("GALLUXIAN", "GLX"){
        tokenCounter = 0;
    }
    function createCollectible(string memory tokenURI) public returns (uint256) {
        uint256 newItemId = tokenCounter;
        _safeMint(msg.sender, newItemId);
        _setTokenURI(newItemId, tokenURI);
        tokenCounter = tokenCounter + 1;
        return newItemId;
    }
}

Please note, you should always seek advice from a professional smart contract developer or audit service before deploying any smart contracts, as mistakes can lead to loss of funds or other serious issues.

This simple smart contract creates a new ERC721 token (an NFT), mints it, and then sets a token URI (a link to metadata about the token, like its name, description, image, etc.) for it. The createCollectible function can be called to create a new token. This contract uses the OpenZeppelin smart contract library, a standard for secure blockchain applications.
