# Why CyLimit ?

{% hint style="info" %}
Le Tour de France is watching in almost 200 countries, with around 4 billion cumulative viewers.
{% endhint %}

We, the CyLimit team, have been big fans of cycling since our childhood and we have arrived at this conclusion :

1. Cycling is one of the most popular sports of the world
2. However, fans can't live their passion so intensely as in other sports

{% hint style="info" %}
Teams often have to sell the bikes at the end of the season to stretch their budget.
{% endhint %}

1. The economy of cycling is not developed as it should be, which leads to precariousness for most of the teams.
2. We need to connect fans, teams and riders.&#x20;
3. This sport is so important for the mental and physical health of all, we need to reward all those who make this sport grow.

### For the Fans

**Stop this industry in which you throw away your game every year**

With Blockchain and NFT, you are now the owner of the components of your game. You don't need to buy a game every year.\
Your CyLimit cards are your own, and they are eternal.\
In CyLimit, your cards have value outside the game, and your money is never lost.

**Avoid as much as possible the crypto world**

In CyLimit, we don't want to talk about Bitcoin or Ethereum or one of the billions crypto-currencies that exist.

> One of our main goals is that everybody in CyLimit talks in Euro or Dollars, and absolutely 0 crypto knowledge is needed.

**You don't need to understand Crypto to play**

In CyLimit, we don't care about the evolution of the price of cryptocurrencies, we just want to use all the benefits of BlockChain, without the risks of a drop in the market.\
So **we use a StableCoin, the USDC.**\
USDC is a cryptocurrency based on US Dollars. It means that this crypto is following as closely as it can the price of the US Dollar so you can't feel if there is a problem on the cryptocurrencies market.\
**You are just here to play, collect ,or trade, not to gamble with cryptocurrencies.**

**Build a fantasy-game for everyone**

Because our ambition is to include every pro-cyclist team in the game, we want to reach every cyclist fan.\
The game is accessible to everyone, fun for everyone and understandable to everyone.

**Make the fan at the center of this adventure**

Opinions, reviews, feedback from players are our first priorities.\
CyLimit is a fun and engaging game. Your player experience is the main way to success for us.\
Satisfy all kinds of players is our priority; collectors, as traders, as cycling experts as just-for-fun players.

### For the pro-cyclist teams

**Build a new economy**

For now, the economy of cycling is based 100% on sponsoring. It creates an absolute dependence and stress for every team at the end of the year.\
With CyLimit, they will get a new income, with no need to convince any sponsors.\
We reverse a part of the sales to the teams. It is very important to us that even teams with a low budget have their share too, because cycling starts here.

Moreover, we believe it will help them to find sponsors because CyLimit will make them visible around the world through the game itself, by social media, and though you, the owner of their cards.

**Begin the digitalization they need**

Cycling is late coming to new technology compared to other sports. CyLimit is taking one of the first steps to making cycling progress and make it become what it should really be as a sport practiced by everyone on earth.

# XP Points

Every CyLimit user gets a stock of XP.\
When you register, your XP stock is 0.

### **How to increase your XP stock ?**<br>

* Participate in the CyLimit Fantasy Game
* Complete quests in your CyLimit account
* More ways to come...

There will be special events to earn you XP according to special rules.\
But for every CyLimit competition, you can earn XP by building your team:\
For each team you put together (for each league):\
\+ 300 XP if your team score > 0\
\+ XP equal to your team's score.\
So if your team scores 102 points, you earn 402 XP.\
The XP you earn for each competition is the sum of all XP earned by your teams in each league of that competition.

### **How do I assign XP to cards ?**<br>

When your XP stock is not empty, you can allocate XP from your XP stock to one of your cards.\
This XP will boost your [card bonus](/cards-and-marketplace/nft-cards/cards-bonus), making it score more points during competitions.\
Please note that this decision is irrevocable: you cannot transfer XP from the cards to the XP stock.

### **XP Allocation**

To ensure fairness and integrity in the game, **XP bonuses can only be added before a race begins**. Any attempt to assign XP after the official start of a race will not affect the points calculation. This rule prevents any manipulation based on race outcomes and guarantees equal conditions for all players. Please make sure to finalize your XP allocations **before the race starts**, as late changes will not be taken into account.


# Cards Bonus

If you own a CyLimit card, you can upgrade it by giving it XP.

<figure><img src="/files/zaSDEMheANcn1nGpyKbd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The more XP you give, the higher your card's level will be.

Each level your card passes will increase the bonus of your card by 0.1% (level maximum = 100 -> 10% bonus), and therefore your card's score in the CyLimit Fantasy game.<br>

**Special Bonus cards**\
Some cards benefit from a special bonus.\
The Special Bonus is added to the XP Bonus.

![](/files/Jy3p3gWA5a4ecb5HrlHA)\
\
At present, there are 2 Special Bonuses :\
\- First card owner : 1% Special Bonus. If you are the first owner of the card (by obtaining it on the primary market or by winning it), your card receives 1% Special Bonus.\
\- Card from the last season printed : 3% Special Bonus. If the card is part of the last season card printed, it receives a 3% Special Bonus.\
Special bonuses are cumulative.\
\
**What happens to XP when the card is sold ?**\
When the card is sold, the card's XP is divided by 2, which does not mean that the card's Bonus is divided by 2.


# Marketplace


# Primary Market

The **Primary Market** is where new NFT Cards are first released by CyLimit. Unlike the Secondary **Market**, where players trade cards among themselves. The Primary Market is the only place to get newly minted cards, unless your in-game skills earn you rewards !

<figure><img src="/files/2l3M5Qsuq8BRLJYP8aWw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**How It Works ?**

**Auction System** :

* Each card is sold through an auction, where managers bid against each other.
* The highest bid at the end of the auction wins the card.
* There is no fixed price; the final price depends on the demand.

**Limited Sales Windows**:

* Cards are only available for a set period.
* Once the auction ends, the card is no longer available in the Primary Market.
* Managers must be attentive to CyLimit’s Primary Market to know when new cards are released.

**First-Owner Bonus**:

* If you are the **first owner** of a card (buying it from the Primary Market), it receives an **in-game bonus**.
* This can give you an advantage in competitions compared to cards bought from other managers in the Marketplace.

**Why Buy from the Primary Market?**

* **Get Cards Before They Reach the Marketplace** : Since all cards start here, it's your first opportunity to get new riders.
* **Fair Bidding System** : Prices are determined by demand, allowing managers to compete openly.
* **First-Owner Advantage** : Owning a card first gives you an **extra bonus** in the game.

The Primary Market is a key way to strengthen your team and get exclusive riders before they become rare on the secondary market.


# Secondary Market

The **Secondary Market** is where managers can buy and sell NFT Cards between themselves. Unlike the **Primary Market**, where cards are first introduced through auctions, the Secondary Market allows users to trade cards freely based on supply and demand.

<figure><img src="/files/hjMFs538qczJKZzhTUs0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**How It Works**

1. **Buying Cards** :
   * Browse the available listings from other managers.
   * Each card has a set price determined by the seller.
   * Purchase the card instantly at the listed price.
2. **Selling Cards** :
   * Select a card from your collection that you want to sell.
   * Set your own price based on the rider’s value, demand, and performance.
   * Once a buyer purchases your card, you receive the agreed amount in your wallet.
3. **Market Fluctuations**:
   * Card prices change depending on rider performance, demand, and scarcity.
   * Successful real-world performances can increase a rider’s value, making their cards more expensive.
   * Monitoring trends can help you make smart buying and selling decisions.

**Why Use the Secondary Market?**

* **Find Specific Cards**: If you missed an auction in the Primary Market, you might still find the card here.
* **Profit from Smart Trading**: Buy low and sell high by predicting rider performances and market trends.
* **Adjust Your Team**: If a rider underperforms, you can sell their card and reinvest in better options.

The Secondary Market is essential for optimizing your team, making strategic trades, and maximizing your success in CyLimit.


# The Game

CyLimit is a **strategic game** based on professional cycling, where you build your team using **digital rider cards**. Your performance depends directly on **real-life race results**. Choose your competitions, register your team, and aim for the best rankings to win rewards!

**A Game Based on Reality**

In CyLimit, there is **no simulation**—your points are calculated based on the **real performances** of riders in official races. Your strategic choices and cycling knowledge will make the difference in climbing the rankings.

**Choose Your Competitions**

Every week, multiple competitions are available, based on the **official pro cycling calendar**. Select the ones you want to enter based on your **card rarity** and the specific rules of each game mode (**Cap Mode, Roles Mode**).

**Build Your Team**

Before each race, **select 5 riders** from your cards. Assign them a **ROLE** (**leader, climber, sprinter, free rider, or teammate**) or build your lineup based on the available **score CAP**. Don’t forget to choose your **captain**, who will get a bonus!

**Follow the Race Live**

Once your team is set, **watch the race unfold!** Your riders’ real-life results will directly impact your game score. Analyze their performances and adjust your strategy for upcoming competitions.

**Win Rewards**

If your team performs well, **you win rewards!** Cards and other prizes are up for grabs based on your competition ranking. Use your cycling knowledge to become a **top manager** on CyLimit!


# Game Modes (Cap & Roles)

***CAP 250 :***

In Cap 250, every manager has a maximum budget of **250 points** to build their team of riders.

Cap Score : Each rider has a point value based on their last 15 results in the real life.

Team Building : When you select your riders, the total score of your team cannot be higher than 250 points.

Strategy : Managers must balance expensive star riders with cheaper options who can still score important points. Choosing the right mix is key to success.

The Cap 250 mode makes the game fair for everyone and adds a layer of strategy. Instead of only picking the biggest names, you need to think about the race calendar, team roles, and potential surprises.

<figure><img src="/files/EG1gGgrNXZXypIc2ydUs" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example of a CAP 250 team composition</p></figcaption></figure>

***ROLES :***

In Roles, each manager assigns **specific roles to their riders**. The rules change slightly depending on the type of race :

* Stage Races : 1 Leader, 1 Climber, 1 Sprinter, 1 Free Electron, 1 Domestique.
* One-Day Races : 2 Leaders, 1 Free Electron, 2 Domestiques.

Roles explained :

* Leader: The main rider, aiming for victory or a high overall ranking.
* Climber: Mountain specialist, key for hilly or mountainous stages.
* Sprinter: Expert on flat stages, targeting sprint finishes.
* Free Electron: A versatile rider capable of creating surprises in different situations.
* Domestique: Supporting rider, helping teammates and gaining points when the team performs well.

Assigning the right roles is essential to maximize points and strategy. This mode rewards knowledge of rider strengths and race dynamics.

<figure><img src="/files/HnohcbxGDHJceZRKsuRt" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example of a CAP 250 team composition</p></figcaption></figure>


# Competitions (MR & MT)

CyLimit offers **two types of competitions** to test your skills as a team manager :

* **MultiTour (MT)** : A series of **stage races** grouped together. Just like real cycling, consistency over multiple stages is key to success.
* **MultiRace (MR)** : A selection of **one-day races** combined into a single competition. Choose your best riders for each classic and aim for the top spots !

<figure><img src="/files/bAiclfn8QDPvnid4D2Ns" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To keep the game dynamic, we **group UCI calendar races** so that the first and last race of each competition are close in time. This ensures that every competition stays engaging and follows the rhythm of the real cycling season !

# Wallet

<details>

<summary>What is a wallet and why do I need one ?</summary>

When you sign up for CyLimit, you get a wallet on the blockchain.

This means you have your own wallet that you can manage, put money into and withdraw money from.

For those who already know their way around crypto-currencies, you can put USDC in with your Metamask wallet. If not, you can use our Ramp partners to deposit USDC on CyLimit. Once you've done that, you can buy cards on the market with your USDC.

You can also use your credit card to buy cards directly on the market.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I fund my wallet ? </summary>

**Use your credit card :** \
The quickest and easiest way is to use our Ramp partners to fund your CyLimit wallet with dollars ($), euros (€), pounds (£) and other currencies.

**Using a crypto-currency wallet :** \
If you're comfortable with blockchain and USDC transfers, you can use a crypto-currency wallet to fund your Cylimit account.

If you have any further questions about deposit methods, please send a request to our support.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are the costs involved in a wallet transfer ?</summary>

On the Blockchain, gas fees have to be paid to secure and verify each transaction.\
In order not to confuse all users with the disadvantages of Blockchain, CyLimit covers all wallet transfer costs.

</details>

The money you deposit in your CyLimit wallet, or generated by your sale on the secondary market, can be withdrawn to your personal crypto wallet.

\- Access your wallet\

If you're having problems with your credit card, **we recommend the following** :

# Blockchain

By registering on CyLimit, you receive a wallet on blockchain.&#x20;

It means that you have your own wallet you can manage, put money into and withdraw from.

At CyLimit we use **POLYGON** as a blockchain network for NFTS and **USDC** for transactions (buy\&sell on primary market and secondary market)

Polygon is a cryptocurrency, with the symbol MATIC, and also a technology platform that enables blockchain networks to connect and scale. Polygon launched under the name Matic Network in 2017.  &#x20;

The **Polygon** platform operates using the Ethereum blockchain and connects Ethereum-based projects. Using the Polygon platform can increase the flexibility, scalability, and sovereignty of a blockchain project while still affording the security, interoperability, and structural benefits of the Ethereum blockchain.&#x20;

**MATIC** is an ERC-20 token, meaning that it's compatible with other Ethereum-based digital currencies. MATIC is used to govern and secure the Polygon network and to pay network transaction fees.&#x20;

On your CyLimit wallet you will have an amount in **USDC**, we just want to use all the advantages of the Blockchain, without the risk of falling on the market.&#x20;

USDC is the 2nd largest stablecoin in the world, created by Circle and Coinbase&#x20;

USD Coin (USDC) is a digital currency fully backed by US dollar assets. USDC is a tokenized US dollar, with the value of a USDC coin being equal to the value of a US dollar in a 1:1 ratio. &#x20;

Since USDC is a 1:1 indexed asset to the dollar and the fiat currency has no issuance limit (and never will), the smart contract that manages the indexing is very unique, allowing for infinite issuance of USDC. &#x20;

<details>

<summary>What is a NFT ? </summary>

A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a unit of digital data stored on a blockchain that certifies ownership or authenticity of a unique or non-interchangeable digital asset. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible and have equal value, NFTs are unique and cannot be exchanged on a like-for-like basis.\
NFTs can represent a wide variety of digital assets such as images, videos, music, artwork, GIFs, tweets, news articles, virtual real estate in video games, virtual reality experiences, and more. Each NFT carries specific metadata that is unique to it, ensuring its authenticity, provenance, and distinctive characteristics.\
The technology behind NFTs often relies on standards like ERC-721 or ERC-1155 on the Ethereum blockchain, although other blockchains such as Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and others have also adopted similar standards for creating and managing these unique digital assets. Leveraging the immutable and transparent nature of the blockchain, NFTs provide traceability and a guarantee of authenticity for owners of these unique digital assets.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is USDC ?</summary>

On your CyLimit wallet, you hold funds in USDC, a digital currency used to leverage all the advantages of blockchain technology without being exposed to market fluctuations.

USDC is the world's second-largest stablecoin, jointly developed by Circle and Coinbase.

Backed by assets in US dollars, USD Coin (USDC) is a digital token that faithfully represents the value of one US dollar in a fixed 1:1 ratio.

The underlying assurance of USDC is based on reserves in US dollars, providing stability grounded in this parity. Unlike traditional fiat currency, the issuance of USDC is regulated through regular audits to ensure parity between circulating coins and US dollar reserves.

This unique feature of USDC, as an asset pegged to the dollar with no defined issuance limit, is managed by a specific smart contract, theoretically allowing continuous issuance of USDC, although this issuance is controlled and backed by US dollar reserves.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is Polygon / MATIC</summary>

At CyLimit, we harness the power of the Polygon blockchain network for NFTs.

Polygon, denoted by the symbol MATIC, serves as both a cryptocurrency and a technological platform enabling blockchain networks to interconnect and scale. Originally launched as Matic Network in 2017, Polygon facilitates operations within the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

Functioning atop the Ethereum blockchain, Polygon acts as a bridge linking Ethereum-based projects. Leveraging the Polygon platform can enhance a blockchain project's flexibility, scalability, and sovereignty, while ensuring the security, interoperability, and structural advantages inherent in the Ethereum blockchain.

MATIC, an ERC-20 token, is compatible with other Ethereum-based digital currencies. It serves the dual purpose of governing and securing the Polygon network while facilitating transaction fees within the network.
