# District Exploring
####
#### **District Exploring** is the process of users burning their LAY 007 Robots and $ORB tokens and obtaining new District NFTs.
* You can utilize [**Orbcity Map**](https://orbcity.io/)'s Exploring feature to explore new districts.
* District Minting is divided into seasons, and each season new territories can be minted.
* District Minting can be accessed by pressing the “Exploring” button on the OrbCity Map.
* Users will be able to select the country they want to mint.
* Exploring Cost will be directed to team treasury and burn address.
#### “Get District” changes to a probabilistic method. Previously, exploring a district requires 100 $LAY and 20,000 $ORB. However, as the method changes to probabilistic, it requires Lay 007 Robots and dynamic $ORB tokens to explore the district. The detailed logic is as follows:
**1.Chance of Exploring**
* Initial Success Chance: 7%\
\- If no one has successfully explored the district, the probability of exploring increases by 1% each day.\
\- If someone succeeds in exploring, the exploring chance is reset to initial success chance.
**2.Cost**
* **4 Lay 007 Robots and dynamic $ORB**\
\- It will cost 4 Lay 007 Robots to explore the district, but will return one Lay 007 Robot if it fails.
* Dynamic $ORB formula
$$
Orb\_n={\sqrt {Lay\_{p}}\over \ \sqrt {Orb\_{p}}}*x^2*0.07
$$
$$
x=45
$$
ex) if $LAY007 = $8, $ORB = $0.07\
Root(8/0.07)\*2025\*0.07 =1,515.371241643446
**3.Exploring Time**
To avoid affecting the floor price of the land, the exploration period increases exponentially as the probability increases.
* Exploring Period formula
$$
7\*(1+Success~~Chance\*((Success~~Chance\*100)-7))
$$
ex) if Success Chance = 10%, 7 \* (1 + 0.10 \* ((0.10\*100)-7)) = 9.10 days\
ex) if Success Chance = 20%, 7 \* (1 + 0.20 \* ((0.20\*100)-7)) = 25.20 days
* The exploration period can be shortened by using time coupons.
#### The tiers of the new districts are the same as existing districts:
* **5% Tier 1**
* **20% Tier 2**
* **75% Tier 3**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://orbcity.gitbook.io/orbcity/district/district-exploring.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
