Vcity releases an open community letter: Promote the optimization of underlying technology and build a self-circulating ecosystem

The evolution history of blockchain is essentially an experiment on "trust" and "value". The core of blockchain is the efficient flow of decentralized consensus and value. When blockchain technology moves from concept to reality and from laboratory to life, we have witnessed the rise and silence of countless projects. When technological commitments encounter real resistance, when ecological visions are trapped in execution faults, some choose to wait, some choose to create, and some choose to embrace the possibilities of diversity with an open attitude.

The development of Vcity (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth City) has also experienced a series of complex challenges and opportunities. Recently, the Fifth City issued an open letter to the community, reviewing the exploration process from its inception to the present, and elaborating in detail on Vcity's development direction and future vision, emphasizing that Vcity is focusing on building a self-circulating ecosystem. While promoting the optimization of underlying technology, it takes "user value first" as the core concept to explore how to break the traditional framework in the construction of the blockchain ecosystem, achieve sustainable development of the ecosystem and maximize user rights.

Dilemma and breakthroughs in the early stages of entrepreneurship

The fifth city originated from an important part of the escaping ecology - the Voice of the Pai. According to reports, Xie Zhang, the founder of Pai Voice, launched the project on November 3, 2022, and is headquartered in Vancouver. In the early stage of the project, Paizhisheng invested a lot of resources and invested more than a dozen servers to run continuously 24 hours a day, but it was in trouble because Pai main network was not online for a long time. At that time, hundreds of zodiac ecosystems were waiting for a long time and chose to shut down the network and shut down the computer because they could not continue. The few remaining zodiac ecosystems that persisted were also struggling. However, Xie Zhang did not choose to give up or wait, but instead found a way out in the dilemma. Finally, on August 25, 2023, the fifth city was launched as a product of the upgrade and transformation of Paizhisheng.

Although Paizhi Voice's server is still running, the fifth city has developed into an independent platform and has made breakthroughs in technical architecture and ecological design. On February 20, 2025, Fifth City invested heavily in launching a beautifully crafted and magnificent meta-universe city, Pai City, to pay tribute to Pai ecology and demonstrate its technological strength and innovation capabilities. This city is regarded as a symbol of gratitude for the past and also marks the fifth city's gradual discovery of its own path in exploration.

In the past six years, Pai's low threshold for mining through mobile phones has attracted tens of millions of users and thousands of ecosystems. The fifth city draws on experience from it and grows through reference and innovation. The open letter pointed out that the fifth city did not choose to leave the ecology, but hoped to coexist with it and make progress together on the road of public chain construction.

User value first, reverse design thinking in the fifth city

In the letter, the fifth city analyzed the industry pain points of public chain construction: the value of public chains is not only the "ritual" of the main network online, but whether the main network can carry the real operation of the ecology, whether it can achieve the final balance of ecological development, node incentives, and market circulation, while achieving the possibility of sustainable development; the real public chain ecology should not stop at the symbolic narrative of "mining", but should build implementable application scenarios, verifiable economic models, and sustainable community governance mechanisms. These challenges are essentially a problem in the implementation of technology and the balance of user rights and interests.

First, the main network ≠ value network: If the main network cannot carry smart contracts and cannot realize asset circulation and ecological cooperation, and infrastructure such as wallet interfaces and smart contracts have not been opened for a long time, its essence is still a closed experiment; second, users ≠ data labor: When contributors cannot obtain their due rights through transparent and relatively fair and just rules, the consensus that has been established will eventually collapse; again, ecology ≠ function accumulation: If most application scenarios only stay in construction and lack an implementable economic model and user value capture mechanism, and lack an economic closed-loop application matrix, it may become a window for technical demonstration.

These industry pain points also reveal the most overlooked truth in public chain construction: the inseparable integration of technology idealism with the ability to implement and implement and the spirit of community co-governance may make it difficult for projects to go through the ever-changing market cycle.

Against this background, the fifth city explored a unique path through breaking through adversity. Its team is composed of its own blockchain protocol layer developers, financial architects, security engineers, metaverse developers and international art teams. Since its inception, it has adopted "reverse design thinking" - first constructing a self-circulating ecological scenario, then optimizing underlying technology to solve the two core issues of sustainability and user value ownership.

Based on this "user value priority" path, the ecological matrix of the fifth city is composed of 12 major sectors, which are composed of multiple independent ecology, and are linked by the same computing power system to make the ecology support each other and complement each other. This collaborative architecture has laid a solid underlying architecture for it and has also nurtured an infinitely possible value system.

1. Innovative "attention mining"

Unlike the traditional mining model, the "attention mining" of No. 5 City redefines the value of user participation. Every attention that users contribute to social, creative, consumption and other scenarios will be quantified through the credit value system and points system, and will become a real digital asset through blockchain rights confirmation.

2. The main network is a promise, but not the end point

From the date of its launch, the fifth city main network will fully open the wallet interface and smart contract functions to ensure seamless access between ecological developers and users; at the same time, the tokens held by the project will be unlocked simultaneously according to the user release ratio, and reject "pre-mining" and "implicit harvesting" will be rejected, so that the distribution of benefits will truly return to community consensus. At the same time, the Fifth City will use innovative mechanisms to achieve 1:1 binding between the test network and the main network, and use dynamic unlocking algorithms to optimize the token release cycle. Through a series of mechanisms such as the deflationary economic model and a new staking mechanism, it provides stable support for ecological development, making the sustainability of the project possible.

But most importantly, unlike traditional single public chain projects, the main network is not the ultimate goal of the fifth city, and the main network is just a phased goal of the fifth city. The economic system and ecological matrix of the fifth city will make its potential and explosive power far greater than the main network.

3. Unique dual-asset model (dB and Vcity)

dB, as the internal circulation system of the fifth city, can open up the internal circulation of the fifth city, including the entire NFT system, points system and ecological system, and each link in the internal circulation forms a stable value system; Vcity, as the external circulation system, generates value in transactions and cross-chain liquidity; and internal and external linkages promote each other, making it more possible to increase the value of tokens.

4. A powerful ecological matrix

The 12 major sectors in the fifth city are not simply superpositions of a single function, but each sector can form a separate economic closed loop, and each sector is independent and empowering each other. At the same time, the concepts of "user value priority" and "user sovereignty" as the core form a three-dimensional growth flywheel of "technology-scenario-user", which can inspire the community to form strong cohesion and self-drive, thereby promoting the formation and stable development of the powerful closed-loop economic system of the fifth city.

Advocate the development philosophy of non-zero-sum game and symbiosis

and co-construction

In addition, the fifth city expressed its understanding and respect for Patriot users in the letter, pointing out that the persistence and pursuit of decentralized ideals during the six years are worth cherishing. At the same time, it advocates the "non-zero-sum game" thinking and suggests that users diversify risks through diversified layouts - they can continue to pay attention to the development of Pati, and explore the potential of the fifth city, just like the coexistence of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the complementarity between Layer1 and Layer2.

The fifth city pointed out that it did not try to replace any project, but instead provided users with a more certain possibility and dimension. It promises not to give up on the Voice of the Sect and the City of the Sect, to form a symbiotic relationship with the Sect project, and to invite users to participate in ecological co-construction and share growth dividends.

At the end of the open letter, the fifth city emphasized the fulfillment of its promises through actions. Since its birth in 2023, its technological iteration and scenario implementation have never stopped and have won the trust of 1.6 million users. It said that only by efficient transfer of sincerity and strength, consensus and value can we win long-term trust. Because the essence of blockchain is an encounter between "trust" and "value".
