The wait has been vast. Upon discovering emissions within the plots, attributes have finally come into play. Our beloved plots emitted everything via base values in the past, and now, the NFT’s come to alter the playing field. Freys, Piggies, and more? A few special guests, it seems. Read along to discover further details of the plot expansion!

Plot Slots

Each plot has 3 slots in which you can stake your Freyala ecosystem NFTs such as Freys, Crypto Pigs, and Orcs.

Unique slots are reserved for projects that are Freyala partners. Staking your NFTs will give your plots bonus attributes that will increase their XYA emission. Staking and unstaking do not require any additional fees aside from the minimal Harmony gas fees to make the transaction.

Freys

Staking a Frey in your plot grants additional stats based on Frey’s attributes.

  • GENERAL
    All Frey: +1 Defense
    Presale Frey: +1 Level
  • BACKGROUND
    Black/White: +1 Level
  • FREY TYPE
    Undead: +3 Fertility, +1 Defense
    Wraith: +3 Crime, +1 Defense
  • WEAPONS
    Katana | Broadsword | Cutlass: +3 Defense
    Any Weapon (except the 3 above): +1 Defense
  • ARMORS
    Fiend Armors — Halis Armor | Fiend Chestplate | Spiked Marauder Chestplate: +2 Crime Rate
    Royal Armors — Royal Guard | Regal Cloak | Nouble Doublet: +1 Defense
    Farmhands — Ardenia Farmer | Green Tunic | Blue Tunic | Bloody Shirt | Beige Tunic: +1 Fertility
  • MASKS
    Kitsune: +2 Level, +2 Defense
    Jack O’ Lantern: +2 Level, +2 Fertility
    Freyfolk Rioter: +2 Level, +2 Crime Rate

Crypto Pigs

Staking a Crypto Pig in your plot increases your plot’s fertility by depending on your Piggie’s age. Piggies staked on the plots will stop losing attributes (Hunger, Happiness, etc.), but when unstaked, they will lose 25% of each attribute. Make sure to check the pig’s wellbeing before staking.

  • Age less than or equal to 5: +1 Fertility
  • Age more than 5, but less than or equal to 20: +2 Fertility
  • Age more than 20 (Elder Piggie): +3 Fertility

Orcs

Freyala Partners

The first project partner is DeFi Kingdoms. Staking a Hero boosts your plot defenses by 4. In this case, the stamina will continue to replenish, but the hero will be unable to do quests unless it is unstaked from the plot.

The second project partner is Dingos. Dingos will primarily focus on boosting crime by 4. There will be various updates about the two of these projects in the near future.

Future Freyala ecosystem partners include Tranquility City and many more to come. Watch out for more announcements regarding this.

Sample Calculations

Here are some sample calculations to provide a better grasp on how the plot slots for NFTs provide a boost for the XYA emission.

Before getting into the examples, let’s explain the emission calculations.

Every Level = An additional base XYA per day
Every 3 Fertility = An additional base XYA per day
Every 2 Crime = An -1 base XYA per day
Every 1 Defence = An -1 Crime

Here is the equation of everything explained above:
((base + ((fertility / 3) + _level)) — (final crime / 2))
Please note that your plots will never emit less than the base daily rate!

EXAMPLE 1 — A level 4 plot has 7 crime rate, 1 defense, 3 fertility.

emissionRate = baseEmmission + (fertilityScalar + levelScalar) — crimeScalar
emissionRate = 4 + (4 + 16 ) — 12
emissionRate = 12 XYA/DAY

As you can observe, the crime rate has significantly decreased the XYA emission rate. Since the plot will benefit more from having a reduced crime rate, staking Freys or DeFi Kingdoms heroes will mitigate this effect.

Staking a Frey with no weapons will provide additional +1 defense point. The plot will end up with 2 defense.

NO STAKED NFTs
crimeScalar = floor [(crime_rate — defense) / 2 ]* baseEmission

crimeScalar = floor [(7–1) / 2 ]* 4
crimeScalar = 12

STAKED FREY (no weapons; +1 defense)
crimeScalar = floor [(crime_rate — defense) / 2 ]* baseEmission

crimeScalar = floor [(7–2) / 2 ]* 4
crimeScalar = 10

emissionRate = 4 + (4 + 16 ) — 10
emissionRate = 14 XYA/Day

The staked Frey reduced the negative effect of the crime rate by 33%. Additionally, if a plot defense is higher or equal to the crime rate after a slot is filled, the negative effect of the crime rate will be reduced to 0.

EXAMPLE 2— A level 3 plot has 1 crime rate, 1 defense, and 0 fertility.

emissionRate = baseEmmission + (fertilityScalar + levelScalar) — crimeScalar
emissionRate = 4 + (0 + 12) — 0
emissionRate = 16 XYA/DAY

By staking two Crypto Pigs, one with age 10 and another with age 25, your plot will gain +5 fertility.

NO STAKED NFTs
fertilityScalar = floor( fertility / 3 ) * baseEmission

fertilityScalar = floor( 0/3 ) * 4
fertilityScalar = 0

STAKED CRYPTOPIGS (age 10 and age 25; +5 fertility)
fertilityScalar = floor( fertility / 3 ) * baseEmission

fertilityScalar = floor( 5/3 ) * 4
fertilityScalar = 1* 4
fertilityScalar = 4

You might get confused why the floor(5/3) returned a value of 1. The floor function returns the largest integer smaller than or equal to X. The largest integer that is smaller than 5/3 is 1.

emissionRate = 4 + (4 + 12) — 0
emissionRate = 20 XYA/DAY

The +5 increase in fertility given by the pigs has increased the XYA emission by 4.

Additional Notes

  • Turn off the XYA emitter before staking an NFT.
  • If you send a plot with staked NFTs, your NFTs will be removed from the plot, and you will have to retrieve them manually from the “Your NFTs” tab.
  • Increasing the plot levels with NFTs will not affect the level-up cost. If the plot is level 2, and upon staking an NFT, it becomes level 4, the cost to level it up using XYA will incur the charge of leveling up from 2 to 3.
  • Currently, the maximum Level of plots by leveling them up through XYA is 9. Staking NFTs that give an additional level bonus will allow the plots to have a higher level beyond the maximum.
