Hi guys,
So today we are continuing with a bit of the moon karts game. In case you’ve forgotten what moon karts is; it’s a racing game which is a play to earn game. That’s the simplest of explanations. Yesterday we looked at the auto vault and academy. In this section we spoke about staking cards to accumulate fuel for races in the game. We also spoke about some of the parameters to earning fuel for when you decide to stake your cards.
We also looked at the point system for the academy and what it’ll mean for accumulating points for future airdrops as well.
So today, we will be looking at the economy and rewards. A games economy is mostly spoken about when finanaces come into play. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as this is a play2earn game.
On splinterlands your in game rewards depends on certain parameters. Like the amount of sps you have staked, the league you’re currently playing in, the types of cards you use as well play a role in game rewards. It’s not different from moon karts. On moon karts the skill, time, NFT and governance tokens that you stake plays a key role in the rewards and amount of rewards that you can earn. If you’re a skilful player and you win a lot of races with high rated cards then you’ll realised your rewards will be more than someone who is lacking in one of the four departments which I mentioned.
Moon karts has a seasonal rewards pool just like what we have with spl. To have a share in the seasonal rewards you’ll need to finish at a certain level on the games leaderboard. Tye higher you finish the higher amount of rewards you’ll earn.
Apart from the leaderboard earn style, you can also earn through racing in 3 ways. There’s a governance token called colony, whiles racing they are placed strategically on the race tracks. Whiles racing you can pic them up. Now here’s the catch. You’ll need to keep them in the kart till you finish the race to keep them or if you drop them then you’ll loose them. If you also don’t win the race you don’t get to keep the colony.
You can also earn rewards by simply participating in races.
You can also collect orbitals which at the end of the season can earn you colony as well.
Moon Karts keeps getting more interesting! 🚀🏎️ The balance between skill, strategy, and staking really makes the economy dynamic. The idea of collecting $COLONY while racing adds an extra layer of intensity—do you risk holding on to it or play it safe? 🤔🔥 The seasonal leaderboard system is also a great way to keep competition high.
