# Introduction

> **"Gaming brings people together."**

> **"Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table, some do not. You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play."**

### **Do you find it tiring to play the same casino games where the house always wins?** 

Our team feels the same way, and that's why we're developing Degen Doodle - a project for crypto gamers who want a real player versus player (PvP) experience. We're taking a step-by-step approach to create an innovative and secure platform that will revolutionize (at least a little bit :) the gaming industry. Our lightpaper outlines our vision for Degen Doodle and demonstrates our commitment to making it a professional and user-friendly platform for everyone.

At our core, we are degens who seek to bring together a community of like-minded individuals eager for a new and exciting gaming experience. 

### What is the utility of the Degen Doodle?

**Degen Doodle** (Gen-0) is a collection of 1111 Doodles on the Solana blockchain that offers value to all its holders. 70% of the net profits generated by the platform will be distributed among the holders. In addition, Holders will enjoy exclusive beta access to new games and have the power to vote on platform changes. Our list of benefits will only continue to grow, providing early adopters with even more exciting features and opportunities.
