In general, the economic system of a game is designed using the following formula:
In Cards Ahoy, we prioritize creating a balanced in-game economy that ensures a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. By carefully designing the game's currency system and reward mechanisms, we aim to foster a sustainable ecosystem that encourages active participation and community engagement. In Cards Ahoy, we hope that such a design will encourage more player engagement, with developers and players working together to build a stable and sustainable gaming ecosystem.
CAC tokens are earned through active participation in the game and are distributed as rewards for various in-game achievements and activities. The number of tokens awarded is based on factors such as player skill, time invested, and the specific activities completed.
In the process of playing Cards Ahoy, players can win CAC tokens and chests in different seasons through victories in the Ahoy Ladder. These chests can contain unique cards and may later include aesthetic elements like avatars, background, and game card skin. The earnings depend on the player's energy consumption and deck strategy, ensuring that the total number of CAC and NFT cards acquired by players each day is controlled and gradually released. Of course, the design of the ladder chest incorporates a various element of randomness, offering lucky players the chance for a significant turn around with small leverages.
Balancing Mechanisms for Token and NFT Ecosystem
In the history of gamefi projects, we've observed many project teams quickly inflate token values in the early stages to attract a surge of players. Subsequently, they leverage this influx to massively offload their token assets for the project's or investors' liquidity, hastening their demise and plunging the entire gamefi ecosystem into a detrimental cycle. We aim to break this cycle by maintaining stable content generation in the game. This strategy ensures a relatively stable demand for CAC consumption, averting potential economic collapses due to insufficient game content.
The selling price of Season boxes in CAC remains fixed. This stability guarantees that the CAC spent by players to acquire Season boxes remains constant, ensuring that when the demand for Season boxes stabilizes, the price of CAC also remains relatively steady:
The market value of CAC = Season boxes market demand + Overflow value of CAC used for other functionalities.
The token distribution mechanism is based on a combination of token price and in-game payment activity regulation. When (1) the number of active paying users in the game reaches a certain level, and (2) there is excessive fluctuation in the token price, the formula for CAC output in the game will adjust the CAC rewards for victories in ladder matches. Regarding this formula, we will observe its actual effectiveness through paid testing to avoid the need for frequent adjustments after the public beta.
Offering a series deck staking gameplay, players and investors can earn profits by staking complete card decks. This staking gameplay ensures that in-game cards have potential investment returns, locking in their value.
