Tokenomics: NFT Game.. Rethought.

If you haven’t read the first part, please read that before this for better understanding.

Please note: This article is subject to slight changes.

As we veer closer to dropping the early access version of the game we wanted to drop some exciting details regarding the future of The Miners.

The team has thought long and hard about what we could do that is both unique and exciting.

Lots of sneak peeks to come, we hope to provide a more clear picture of what we want to accomplish.

First off, let’s start with a quick overview and a new exciting addition.

This is all the collections known till now.

First, The Miners Genesis. A 300 supply collection that’s already launched.

Second, The Miner Defenders. A 3000 collection soon to launch.

Lastly, The Coblynau Goblins: TBD supply launching shortly after defenders.

We’d like to introduce a fourth collection that will play a vital role in the game!

That collection is Mine Shafts! More information on this to come..

Game upgrading and progression

Each player can get upgrades in-game such as new equipment and gear.

All these will have a function in the game and with the storyline.

They also have one additional benefit..

Gaining tokens..

While the idea of gaining tokens from NFTs isn’t unique, we have made a few advantageous changes that we think will revolutionize the space.

1: The Two-Token System

One of our goals with this was to make sure we keep gas fees to a minimum.

To solve this issue we will have a two token system. One token will be a soft currency, in game only, that will allow for the purchasing of equipment and gear.

The other, an ERC-20 token, will connect our game to the Ethereum blockchain.

2: Not idle

This is not an idle game. Although all holders will gain tokens from holding NFTs, you get the biggest benefit from playing the game and participating in the community.

This will be beneficial to everyone since a more engaged community means more demand.

3: Minimized gas fees

You’ll only face gas fees when claiming and exchanging on-chain tokens NOT by interacting with the game.

4: No inflationary mechanism for collections

The Miners, The Miner Defenders, The Goblins, and The Mine Shafts have a set supply cap. There will be no inflationary component past mint to each collection.

Leaderboard Distribution of Tokens

Besides daily distribution of tokens for holders, tokens will also be distributed based on a player’s position in the leaderboard.

The importance of different collections within game:

The Miners Genesis will have the highest in-game power and will have exclusive traits that other collections can not receive.

Birds eye view of game updates:

Early access version 1 of the game will release soon and will be a barebones version featuring the interactive storyline. Members involved in the story can win whitelist access to The Miner Defenders mint and free mints to The Coblynau Goblins collection.

Version 2 will include an update to the UI. Along with update to components such as allowing more variables, like rarity bonuses and such. That means traits matter.

Version 3 will introduce the in-game soft currency, and on-chain hard currency (ERC-20 token).

We hope you are as excited as we are! Keep in mind, this is the plan up until now but we will adapt to changes that are beneficial to the community and project.
