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

    • 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
