Token Utility

$CTH Tokens have a wide range of Utility.

  1. Staking:  Possible special rewards if token holder actively participates in the game's eco-system (details TBD)

    • $CTH tokens (if allowed by various governing authorities/jurisdictions)

    • $ASL tokens

    • NFT Agents are awarded directly or holders are entered into a lottery (multiple tiers, odds)

    • Other NFTs, also via a direct award or lottery/raffle*

    • In-game resources (Quantium, orbs, items, etc.)

  2. Special Access/VIP Status

    • "Early Access" dev builds, new features

    • Special leaderboards

    • VIP-only Tournaments

    • Alternative revenue models? (e.g. subscriptions, TBD)

    • Non-token benefits (TBD)

  3. In-game features where $CTH tokens are used

    • Entry fees for tournaments, lotteries, special events

    • Alternative currency for purchases in the shop

    • Special purchases that only the $CTH tokens can buy

      • Grab bags/combo packs

      • Mission packs

    • NFT "Crafting"

      • Multiple requirements:

        • Specific game achievements

          • Agent must reach a specific XP-based level

          • Creatures have to be captured & researched

          • Special items must be found

          • Special mission goals (bonus/secret ones) have to be achieved

          • Certain Base levels must be reached: HQ building & recruitment center

        • The spending of $CTH tokens with the exact amount fluctuating over time, based on the rarity type of the agent and a monetary algorithm

      • Crafting variations:

        • Primary option: turn a "regular" agent into an NFT agent

          • Involves some randomization of properties

          • Customize it in some way to make it visually unique, if desirable or necessary (swap out head/neck/eye ornaments, special skins, backgrounds, etc.)

        • Secondary options/other agent ideas:

          • Upgrade an NFT agent into a "deluxe" NFT agent

          • Combine 2 NFT agents into a new "super" NFT agent, original 2 NFTs are "retired"

        • Create an NFT artifact that combines 2 or more "regular" artifacts

        • Build an NFT level/mission (pays out in-game resources only as rewards, not tokens)

      • Crafting is the process of transforming "regular" agents into NFT ones

    • NFT Purchasing in a “special” part of the recruitment center in Base
