5.3 Building Rewards
How it works
Building Rewards are a cornerstone of our Play-to-Earn (P2E) ecosystem, offering players an innovative and engaging way to earn rewards based on the virtual assets they own within the game. This system is designed not only to incentivize players to invest in and upgrade their in-game holdings but also to create a dynamic and rewarding environment where strategic asset management is key to maximizing returns. Building Rewards serve as a daily incentive for players who actively participate in the game by owning and maintaining specific assets, enhancing the overall gaming experience by adding a layer of economic strategy and reward potential.
Overview of Building Rewards
In the P2E ecosystem, buildings represent valuable virtual assets that players can acquire, upgrade, and utilize within the game. Each building is not just a static object but an active participant in the game's economic system, capable of generating rewards for its owner. These rewards are distributed according to a building's designated power level, which determines the share of the total reward pool that the building contributes to its owner. This system ensures that players who invest in higher-tier buildings—those with greater power levels—are compensated with higher rewards, reflecting the increased value and strategic importance of these assets.
Building Power Levels
The Building Rewards system is structured around three distinct power levels: A, B, and C. Each of these levels corresponds to a specific multiplier effect on the rewards that a building can generate. This tiered structure is designed to provide a clear incentive for players to acquire and upgrade buildings to higher levels, thereby increasing their potential earnings.
Power Level A:
Buildings classified under Power Level A are the most valuable and offer the highest reward potential. These buildings are often more expensive and harder to acquire, reflecting their significant influence within the game. Owners of Power Level A buildings receive the largest share of the reward pool, making these buildings highly desirable assets within the P2E ecosystem.
Power Level B:
Power Level B buildings offer a moderate level of rewards, providing a balanced option for players who wish to earn substantial rewards without the significant investment required for Power Level A buildings. These buildings are more accessible to a broader range of players and serve as a stepping stone towards acquiring higher-tier assets.
Power Level C:
Power Level C buildings represent the entry-level tier in the Building Rewards system. While they offer the smallest share of the reward pool, they still provide a meaningful incentive for players, particularly those new to the game or those with a smaller investment in virtual assets. Power Level C buildings allow all players to participate in the rewards system, regardless of their initial investment.
Reward Distribution Mechanism
Building Rewards are distributed daily, offering players a consistent and reliable stream of income based on the assets they hold. The distribution process is automated through the smart contract, ensuring that rewards are allocated fairly and transparently without the need for manual intervention. Players can claim their rewards at regular intervals, defined by the setRewardFrequency parameter, which determines how often rewards can be withdrawn.
The reward pool is calculated based on the total tokens allocated for building rewards, as set by the setRewardPercentage function. This pool is then divided among the eligible buildings according to their power levels. For instance, Power Level A buildings might receive 50% of the pool, Power Level B 25%, and Power Level C 12.5%. The exact distribution is determined by the reward power assigned to each building and the number of such buildings owned by players.
Eligibility and Claiming Process
To participate in the Building Rewards system, players must own buildings that are whitelisted and recognized by the smart contract. The contract maintains a list of these buildings, which the game developers can update through the setBuildingReward function. This function not only adds buildings to the rewards list but also assigns them their corresponding power levels.
Once a building is recognized by the contract and assigned a power level, it becomes eligible to generate rewards for its owner. Players can claim these rewards by interacting with the claimBuildingRewards function. This function checks the player's inventory, identifies the buildings they own, and calculates the total rewards based on the power levels of these buildings. The rewards are then transferred directly to the player’s account, providing a tangible return on their investment in the game.
Strategic Implications
The Building Rewards system introduces a strategic layer to the game, where players must carefully consider their investment decisions. Acquiring and upgrading buildings becomes not only a gameplay objective but also a critical financial decision that can significantly impact a player's earnings. Players who strategically invest in high-power-level buildings are positioned to maximize their returns, while those who diversify their assets across different power levels can balance risk and reward.
This system also encourages continuous engagement with the game. Since rewards are distributed daily, players are incentivized to log in regularly to claim their earnings. This consistent interaction helps to maintain a vibrant and active player base, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the P2E ecosystem.
Security and Fairness
To ensure the integrity of the Building Rewards system, several security measures are in place. The smart contract enforces strict rules about which buildings are eligible for rewards, preventing unauthorized assets from participating in the reward pool. Additionally, the automated nature of the reward distribution process ensures that rewards are calculated and distributed fairly, based on the predetermined rules encoded in the contract.
The use of blockchain technology further enhances the security and transparency of the system. All transactions, including reward claims and distributions, are recorded on the blockchain, providing an immutable record that can be audited by any player. This transparency builds trust within the community, as players can independently verify that rewards are being distributed according to the rules.
How to Participate in Building Rewards
To participate in the Building Rewards system, players must first acquire buildings within the game. These buildings can be obtained through various in-game activities or purchased in the marketplace. Once a player owns a building, it must be recognized by the smart contract, meaning it must be on the whitelist of eligible buildings.
After acquiring a whitelisted building, players can begin earning rewards. These rewards accumulate over time and can be claimed at regular intervals by calling the claimBuildingRewards function. The rewards are directly proportional to the power level of the buildings owned, with higher-tier buildings offering greater returns.
In summary, the Building Rewards system is a key feature of our P2E ecosystem, providing players with a meaningful and consistent way to earn rewards based on their in-game assets. By carefully managing their buildings and participating in the daily reward claims, players can enhance their earnings and enjoy a more immersive and rewarding gaming experience. This system not only incentivizes investment in the game but also adds depth and strategy to the gameplay, making it a central component of the overall P2E experience.
