Level 114Price

(SN114)

Level 114 (SN114) is a decentralized gaming infrastructure protocol operating as a specialized subnet within the Bittensor network. Recognized as the ecosystem's first gaming-focused subnet, it aims to decentralize game server hosting. Instead of using centralized cloud providers, Level 114 utilizes a global network of miners to host high-performance game servers. This infrastructure rewards server operators for providing stable, low-latency environments, creating a more transparent and cost-effective solution for game developers and players.

Level 114 addresses the high costs, lack of transparency, and risks of centralized control associated with traditional game hosting services. By utilizing Bittensor's "Proof of Useful Work" model, the protocol replaces arbitrary calculations with tangible gaming infrastructure services. It rewards hosts based on actual performance metrics, such as uptime and latency, ensuring that infrastructure providers are incentivized to maintain high-quality gaming environments rather than just providing raw, unoptimized computing power.

The project launched with Minecraft as its primary proof-of-concept for decentralized hosting. Recently, Level 114 announced a major partnership with The Cursed Land (TCL), a cross-platform MMORPG, where it serves as the official publisher and hosting layer. The protocol is designed to be versatile, with plans to expand its support to include a wider variety of both Web2 and Web3 game titles beyond its initial offerings.

TAO is the native token of the entire Bittensor network, whereas SN114 is the specific "Alpha" token for Subnet 114. Under the Dynamic TAO (dTAO) upgrade, each subnet has its own token that reflects the market demand for its specific services. Miners and validators on Subnet 114 earn rewards in SN114 for their contributions. Users can engage with the token through the Bittensor ecosystem or via exchanges like LBank to participate in the growth of the subnet.

Mining on Level 114 involves running a high-quality game server and registering it with the Level 114 Collector Service. Miners must ensure their servers are stable and publicly accessible. Validators then score these servers using real-time telemetry data, evaluating metrics like player engagement and Ticks Per Second (TPS) to ensure a fair experience. To join, participants must register a hotkey on the subnet, which typically involves a recycle cost to enter the network.

Level 114 is pioneering a "sub-subnet" concept, allowing it to split emissions into different tracks for specific games like Minecraft and The Cursed Land. Future plans include onboarding more diverse gaming titles, implementing advanced anti-cheat telemetry to prevent performance faking, and establishing community governance. This governance model will allow SN114 holders to vote on which new games should be integrated into the decentralized hosting infrastructure.
