LOKA pledging on Continent

In the League of Kingdoms, a groundbreaking feature has emerged — $LOKA pledging. This dynamic addition to the game introduces a new layer of strategy and cooperation among players, communities, promising to reshape the dynamics of continent management.

Let’s delve into the key aspects of LOKA pledging, its purpose, tiers, benefits, and the exciting rewards it brings.

Purpose of LOKA Pledging

The primary objective behind LOKA pledging is to enhance and adjust the regeneration bonus to align with activities in different continents.

Highly populated, active continents may encounter insufficient regeneration rates for all players, leading to the introduction of LOKA pledging to improve productivity. On the other hand, continents experiencing an outflux of generic players face resource misallocation, resulting in a surge of bot farms extracting significant values without substantial competition, a sort of a gentrication in the digital sphere.

The introduction of pledging aims to accurately represent and reflect activities in each continent, striving to address excessive regeneration in areas affected by bot farms and curb their productivity.

Pledging Tiers and Bonuses

The tier system holds a crucial role in LOKA pledging, where the total $LOKA pledged on a continent determines its tier, thereby influencing the associated pledging tier bonus.

Importantly, this pledging is exclusively linked to in-game buffs and does not pertain to monetary yield. The LOKA threshold for each tier remains subject to adjustments, reflecting initial pledges and potential fluctuations in the market value of the LOKA token.

The Pledging Tier and the benefits

The introduction of the ‘NEW’ tier aims to provide protection to newly created continents lacking significant communities or sponsors, exempting them from the tier system for a defined period. The continent selection page offers a visual indicator of the tiers, aiding users in making informed decisions when choosing a continent for migration.

Benefits of Pledging

Pledging unleashes a myriad of benefits for continents and individual players.

Depending on the tier, continents receive buffs on monster regeneration, resource yield, medal acquisition, Crystal production, DSA mines, and troop enhancements.

To further incentivize individual pledgers, the introduction of the SBT based package rewards to players based on their LOKA contributions. These weekly rewards, determined by the average amount pledged during the previous week, consist of 9 tiers, with the maximum reward reaching up to $500 worth.

How to Pledge

Pledging is a straightforward process accessible through the LOK webpage. On the Pledging page, players can select the continents to pledge their LOKA on.
