🎁 Rewards Pool

The reward pool for Season 1 will consist of a combination of the following assets that form the game economy, totaling around $500k worth of rewards:

• $CEC Tokens — Governance Token (On-chain)
• $IMX Tokens (On-chain)
• Gold — Utility Token for P2E-related Features (On-chain / Off-chain)
• Diamond — Currency used for IAP (Off-chain, Purchased using Fiats)
• Full Replenishment of the Earning Timer for all participating Advanced Heroes.

📜 Rewards Distribution Rules

The $CEC and $IMX Tokens rewards will be distributed among players who perform the following actions in the game:

• Opening a Chest
• Completing a Hero Synthesis
• Completing a Hero Advancement

📌 Remarks: The amount of $CEC & $IMX Tokens distributed to each player will depend on the amount of consumed Gold one has completed the above actions, regardless of the outcome of the action.

Additionally, players will earn a Diamond bonus equal to the amount of Gold they accumulate this season, at a 1:1 ratio.

🎮 Game Modes

Details:

1. 20-Man Battle: The 20-Man Battle Royale map is always open. In this season, each Advanced Hero (Tier 1 and above) has 3 Daily Earnings Counts. After completing 3 matches, the Advanced Hero will no longer be able to obtain Gold rewards from the 20-Man Battle Royale mode. The higher the Wealth Value of the selected Hero in the battle, the more Gold will be earned from the match.
2. 40-Man Battle: The 40-Man Battle Royale map will only open during a special server event triggered by players’ actions. This is currently the only map that yields Chest rewards. The higher the player’s Luck Value, the higher the drop rate and rarity of the Chests.
3. 4v4: The Classic 4v4 MOBA map requires everyone to purchase a ticket using Gold. The winning team will take a portion of the entry cost from the losing team. This is the fastest way to earn Gold if you are a skilled player.

💰 Game Economy Loop

1. Play-To-Earn: Both a Basic Hero (Tier 0 Hero) and an Advanced Hero (Tier 1 Hero and above) can participate in P2E to earn Gold / Chest, but a Basic Hero will not yield any Gold rewards from the Battle Royale maps. An Advanced Hero will revert to being considered a Basic Hero once its Earning Timer depletes.
2. Wealth Value: Wealth Value directly influences Gold earnings from battles, determined by the selected Hero’s Wealth Value stat. A Basic Hero will have a zero Wealth Value.
3. Luck Value: Luck Value determines the drop rate and rarity of Chests, calculated by summing up all owned Heroes’ Luck Value stats. A Basic Hero will have a zero Luck Value but still has a chance to earn a Chest from the 40-man Battle Royale.
4. Gold: Gold serves as the off-chain currency for P2E-related features.
5. Gold Card: Gold Card is the on-chain representation of Gold.
6. Craft / Decompose: Accumulate Gold to mint it into a Gold Card NFT for on-chain trading (crafting). Alternatively, burn a Gold Card NFT to redeem Gold in-game (decomposing).
7. Chest: A Chest contains various P2E-related items. Opening a Chest requires consuming Gold.
8. Advanced Hero: An Advanced Hero is a non-Tier 0 Hero, mintable as an NFT for on-chain trading, each with important stats related to P2E rewards.
   - Earning Timer: The Earning Timer starts counting down in each P2E Season, indicating the remaining time each Hero NFT can participate in P2E. Once expired, the Advanced Hero reverts to a Basic Hero, requiring a Hero Replenishment Kit to restore its P2E features.
   - Wealth Value: This stat directly influences Gold earnings per match.
   - Luck Value: This stat affects the probability of chest rarity and asset earnings upon opening.
   - Tier: Heroes are categorized into five tiers, with higher tiers offering higher Wealth Value and Luck Value.
9. Hero Fragments: Used for Hero Synthesis and Advancement (Tier Upgrade), with five tiers corresponding to each Hero Tier.
10. Synthesis / Tier Upgrade: Synthesis involves combining Hero Fragments of the same tier to create an Advanced Hero of that tier. Tier Upgrade, or Advancement, involves combining Hero Fragments of the same tier with a Hero of a lower tier to advance to a higher tier.
11. Game Marketplace (Off-chain): Allows trading of P2E items using Gold. Future plans include interchangeability between Gold and Diamond for interoperability between crypto-native and non-crypto native economies.
12. Diamond: The currency used for in-app purchases. Scheduled for introduction in upcoming seasons, along with related use-cases.
