pumpskin visuals are subject to change

🎃 Boo 🎃 ! In this article, we will be diving deeper into the game mechanics of the pumpskin ecosystem, deep into the pumpskin core. Buckle up!

The mechanics mentioned in this article are subject to future changes depending on the community and advisors input.

The Den & The Lab

Conjure

Conjuring

All pumpskin NFTs will need to be initially entered into The Den in order to begin conjuring pumpskin Pies ($PPIE) on a daily basis, that’s equivalent to staking your NFT on our website. In The Den, the level of your pumpskin magickness will determine how much $PPIE your pumpskin can conjure per day. All pumpskin NFTs will continue conjuring $PPIE as long as it stays entered (staked) in The Den. You could choose to sell your $PPIE on the open market, or you could use them to level up of your pumpskin, which will get your pumpskin to conjure even more $PPIE per day.

Extract

Extracting

To level up your pumpskin’s Magick Level, your pumpskin needs to drink some Magick Potion ($POTN). How do you get your hands on some of that $POTN? There are 2 main ways your pumpskin can extract magick potion.. Staking or Swapping. You could either deposit (stake) your daily earned $PPIE into The Lab, which will yield a 1:3 ratio of $PPIE to $POTN. The more $PPIE you stake, the more $POTN will be extracted from your $PPIE. You could on the other hand go for an even more degen play, and choose to Swap your $PPIE for even more $POTN. If you choose to Swap, your $PPIE gets immediately burned, but it will yield a 1:12 ratio in $POTN! pumpskin will need to drink $POTN to level up. Used $POTN is immediately and permanently burned 🔥🔥🔥 .

pumpskin is clumsy and he has no hands.. Every time you withdraw (unstake) your $PPIE from The Lab, some $PPIE are dropped and destroyed, 8.33% of it to be exact, 1 $PPIE in every dozen. The floor is lava, and dropped $PPIE are burned 🔥🔥🔥 .

The exact ratio of $PPIE to $POTN will be subjected to change according to market volume and current promotions. We will also be considering gamifying LP staking in the future.

Both methods mentioned above will help pumpskin holders to gain more, and for the tokens’ price volatility to stay in check. Note that the higher level of Magickness your pumpskin gets, the more $POTN it will need to drink to level up to the next level of Magickness.

Required Magick Potion to Level Up = (25 x Magick Level²)

The $POTN circulating amount is finite, and will all be gone at some point in time. The race is on to see who gets their pumpskin to become the most Magickal pumpskin of them all in the shortest amount of time!

Drink, Level Up

Drinking (Potion Absorption)

When a pumpskin drinks $POTN to level up, it takes time to absorb the potion. The higher the level of Magickness of the pumpskin, the more time in needs to absorb the $POTN to level up. The time period for absorption is linear, 1 hr for every level. It takes 1 hr to absorb the $POTN needed to level up from level 1 to level 2, it takes 2 hrs to absorb the $POTN to level up from level 2 to level 3, and so on.

Required Time for Magick Potion Absorption = (Magick Level x 1 hr)
