Recently, in the fictitious waters of the Algorand universe, some crabs have appeared. These interesting tiny crabs are called “Kani” (pronounced ‘ca’ as in a car with the ‘r’ and knee). The Kani World, which these crabs come from, consists of four regions, and one Queen Kani rules over each of these four regions. From time to time, the queens look for a king during the Kani Generating Event (KGE). They will pick one male Kani to be the King, but that Kani must first survive on the battlefield where the eligible male Kani battle it out for a chance to be King.
A combination of Kani attributes, such as their striking and wrestling skills, combined with random luck, will decide which male will get to be King Kani. When these male Kani are not fighting on the battlefield, they spend their days scavenging for “scum”. Some more actively than others. The Kani can use the scum to temporarily increase specific attributes before the KGE. Thus giving them a slight advantage to become King Kani.
Being King Kani is short-lived but has its rewards. The King is only the King until the beginning of the next KGE. Every Kani wants to be King because, for one, he will pass on some of his attributes to the next generation. In addition, he will receive the opportunity to win over one of the newly generated Kani, aka his offspring. Finally, the King owner will receive a vote at the Kani Council for King’s period.
The initial Kani will be available through prizes and rewards to community members who want to be involved.
