# GAMESTAKE

GAMR and GAMESTAKE: Core Features of the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU)

### GAMR: The Primary Gaming Token

GAMR is set to be the cornerstone of the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU), acting as the primary currency for every game developed on this platform. Designed to streamline economic interactions across the PGU, GAMR integrates a unique feature—Proof of Play—which rewards players for their active participation. This mechanism ensures that the more a player engages with the ecosystem through GAMR, the greater their rewards. All new games joining the PGU without an existing token are required to incorporate GAMR, thereby standardizing the economic environment and enhancing user experience across the platform.

### GAMESTAKE: Innovative Reward System

GameStake radically transforms the play-and-earn model by utilizing a rewards pool that grows as players interact with games within the PGU. This pool is continually fed by a 2% transaction fee collected from every game-related transaction and an additional bonus of 93 million GAMR tokens distributed over four years. GameStake rewards players based on their engagement level, measured through a metric known as Power Weight (POWA). Players increase their POWA by actively participating in the games, completing daily missions, spending GAMR, and bringing new players into the ecosystem.

### Engagement and Rewards

The more players engage with the PGU through GAMR transactions, the higher their ranking on the GameStake Leaderboard. This ranking system not only considers gaming performance but also the player’s investment in the ecosystem. High levels of activity and GAMR expenditure result in higher leaderboard rankings, thus higher potential earnings from the GameStake pool.

### Multi-Currency Rewards and Leaderboard Influence

While the rewards primarily consist of GAMR tokens, the inclusion of other currencies in the PGU could introduce a multi-reward system, enhancing the attractiveness of GameStake. However, leaderboard calculations will exclusively consider GAMR transactions to maintain its status as the primary measure of player engagement.

# STAKING

Staking Pool: Enhancing Engagement and Rewards in the PGU

### Introduction to Staking in PGU

In the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU), staking serves as a strategic tool for players looking to enhance their position on the GameStake Leaderboard and secure additional rewards. This section details the staking mechanisms available to GAMR token holders, including the options to stake for increased leaderboard influence and to participate in dedicated staking pools for additional benefits.

### Staking for Leaderboard Enhancement

<figure><img src="https://3517888307-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJPKZlhRWCgsatyoJhSGv%2Fuploads%2F4Ij2tlA2Z2eKaquOSIOx%2Fstakingweight.png?alt=media&amp;token=3dcb6227-06e9-4882-8e22-12109517613b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Players have the option to stake GAMR tokens to improve their leaderboard standings. This feature is particularly advantageous for hardcore players with significant investments in the game, as it allows them to leverage their stake for greater rewards. The cap on how much a player can stake will be determined through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), ensuring that the community has a say in setting these limits.

### Dedicated Staking Pools

<figure><img src="https://3517888307-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJPKZlhRWCgsatyoJhSGv%2Fuploads%2FYuJImoutGT2fHVr4V6dz%2Fstaking.png?alt=media&amp;token=576d35e8-8efe-4f16-b475-c76e44a561a4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Two major staking pools will be introduced, each running for a duration of four years:

**Stake GAMR to Earn GAMR:** Participants in this pool can increase their GAMR holdings by staking their tokens, enhancing their investment's value.

**Stake GAMR to Earn PLYR:** This pool allows players to diversify their earnings by staking GAMR and receiving PLYR tokens in return, adding an extra layer of reward potential.

### Features of the Staking Pools

To maintain the integrity and stability of these staking pools, several features are implemented:

**60 Days Lock Feature:** Once staked, GAMR tokens will be locked in the pool for 60 days to stabilize the pool's liquidity and ensure a consistent reward distribution.

**Tax Contribution:** A minimal tax of 0.1% on transactions within these pools will be directed towards the GameStake Pools, further supporting the reward mechanism of the PGU.

**Forced Withdrawal Option:** While staking is designed to encourage long-term participation, players can choose to withdraw their stake before the end of the lock period at a penalty fee of 5%. This feature provides flexibility for players who may need to access their funds prematurely.

# IGO

IGO (Initial Gaming Offering): Empowering Community and Developers in the PGU

### Introduction to PGU IGOs

Initial Gaming Offering (IGO) in the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU) represents a transformative approach to game development and community engagement. The GAMR IGO enables token holders to participate actively in the decision-making process regarding the distribution of incentives for new games. This voting mechanism ensures that the community's preferences significantly influence how resources are allocated to developers.

### Voting Mechanism and Community Involvement

The GAMR IGO operates on a democratic voting system, allowing GAMR token holders to vote on various proposals related to incentive distribution for upcoming games. This process ensures that the allocation of resources aligns with the community's interests and preferences, fostering a sense of ownership and involvement among participants.

### Incentives for Game Developers

Following a successful vote, game developers receive incentives as determined by the outcome of the community vote. These incentives are designed to support developers in creating and enhancing their games, thereby enriching the PGU ecosystem. The incentive model is structured to ensure that developers are equipped with the necessary resources to bring their creative visions to life.

### Benefits for Voters and Additional Staking Pools

Once a vote is approved, developers have the option to establish new staking pools specifically for those who participated in the voting process. These special staking pools can offer unique rewards, such as:

**Minting In-Game NFTs for Free:** Voters may have the opportunity to mint exclusive in-game NFTs at no cost.

**Acquisition of In-Game Chip Tokens:** Participants could receive in-game currencies or chips as a reward for their involvement in the IGO.

**Other Developer-Chosen Features:** Developers may offer additional bespoke benefits as a token of appreciation for voter support, which could include early access to games, special status within the game, or unique in-game items.

### Win-Win Philosophy

The PGU IGO is founded on a win-win philosophy, aiming to benefit all stakeholders involved. This approach not only incentivizes the community to engage with the ecosystem actively but also supports developers by providing them with a platform to secure funding and gain community support early in the development process.

# DAO

DAO for the PGU: Democratizing Game Development and Ecosystem Decisions

### Introduction to the PGU DAO

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) for the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU) is a crucial feature that empowers the community to have a significant voice in various aspects of game development and ecosystem governance. Through the DAO, GAMR token holders can participate in decisions that shape the platform, from game updates to economic adjustments.

### Community Voting and Developer Interaction

The DAO provides a platform where game developers can submit proposals for any changes they wish to make, whether these are modifications to existing games or introductions of new features. This system encourages developers to align their projects with community preferences, enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. Community members can vote on a wide range of proposals, including but not limited to:

**Transaction Fee Adjustments:** Decisions on whether to change the fee structure within the ecosystem.

**Integration of New Tokens:** Approval of new tokens to be used within the PGU.

**Game Development Proposals:** Suggestions for new game features or updates.

**Marketing Strategies:** Initiatives aimed at promoting the PGU and its games.

### Empowering Developers with Community Feedback

Encouraging developers to utilize the DAO for feedback and approval not only makes games more compatible with community expectations but also instills a sense of ownership among users. This feature is intended to foster a collaborative environment where developers and players co-create the gaming experience.

### Governance and Rules

The operation of the DAO is governed by predefined rules, which ensure that all decisions are made transparently and fairly. These rules detail the voting procedures, the necessary quorums for different types of decisions, and the implementation process for approved proposals.

### Voting to Add New Game Tokens to the PGU

### Introduction to Token Integration

In the dynamic world of the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU), integrating tokens from other blockchain games involves a robust process to ensure the security and viability of these tokens within the PGU ecosystem. The process is governed by the community through the DAO, emphasizing transparency and community trust.

### Collateralization Process for New Tokens

To protect the PGU and its users from potential scams or unreliable projects, any game token from another chain that wishes to integrate with the PGU must be collateralized. This is to ensure that only serious and committed projects are considered.

### DAO Voting and Staking Pool Creation

When a new game token is proposed for integration into the PGU:

**DAO Decision:** The community votes via the DAO to approve the creation of a staking pool for the new token.

**Staking Requirement:** A specific amount of GAMR tokens must be staked in the pool to reach a predetermined limit, acting as collateral.

**Lock Period:** The staked GAMR is locked for a period of six months, during which it will generate rewards within the staking pool.

### Safeguards and Rewards Distribution

**Monitoring Period:** Throughout the six-month lock period, the behavior of the new token is closely monitored.

**Contingency for Scams:** If the new token is deemed a scam or conducts a rug pull, the extra GAMR earned during the staking period will be used as compensation for users who suffered losses.

**Successful Integration:** If the new token behaves as expected and integrates well into the PGU, the accrued rewards from the staking pool will be distributed equally among the stakers, rewarding them for their contribution and trust.

# EXCHANGES

Multichain Liquidity and Listing: Expanding GAMR's Reach

### Introduction to Multichain Strategy

<figure><img src="https://3517888307-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJPKZlhRWCgsatyoJhSGv%2Fuploads%2FDopqT7aF0V0e2LysSU5X%2Fmultichain.png?alt=media&amp;token=aef55b6b-38aa-4a65-b4d5-8cb5fb1755ea" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To establish GAMR as the leading gaming token in the cryptocurrency space, a comprehensive approach to liquidity and exchange listing is crucial. The PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU) is implementing a multichain liquidity strategy to ensure that GAMR is readily available across various blockchain platforms, starting with the Avalanche C-Chain.

### Funding Liquidity Through PLYR Clusters Sale

A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of PLYR Clusters will be allocated to provide liquidity for GAMR. This will help ensure that the token is liquid enough on the Avalanche C-Chain at launch, supporting seamless transactions and exchanges.

### Collaboration with Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)

The PGU plans to partner with DEXs that offer dual rewards systems. To attract and retain these partnerships, a fixed amount of GAMR will be provided as complementary rewards to DEXs that agree to support the token. This strategy is intended to enhance the attractiveness of GAMR and encourage higher trading volumes and user engagement on these platforms.

### Centralized Exchange (CEX) Listing Strategy

For CEX listings, funds will be utilized from both the clusters sale and the private sale of PLYR tokens. The goal is to make GAMR available on prominent exchanges to ensure a broad market reach and to facilitate easy access for both new and existing users. The inclusion of GAMR on these exchanges is critical for:

**Increasing Trading Volume:** Accessibility on well-known CEXs can significantly boost the trading volume of GAMR, enhancing its market presence and investor interest.

**Providing Liquidity and Staking Rewards:** In addition to providing liquidity, the PGU will also offer rewards for staking pools on these exchanges, increasing the token's appeal to long-term holders and investors.

# TRANSITION

Token Swap and Transition to the PLYR Chain

### Overview of the Swap Process

As part of the transition to the PLYR Chain, there will be a straightforward token swap mechanism for holders of ZOO or vZOO tokens. This process is designed to seamlessly convert existing tokens into the new GAMR tokens on a 1:1 basis.

### Mechanics of the Swap

<figure><img src="https://3517888307-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJPKZlhRWCgsatyoJhSGv%2Fuploads%2FeDK2CnHObN7OMqGxietl%2Fbridgeswap.png?alt=media&amp;token=053ebf4b-d6fa-42f7-b56a-33476e5e1afd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**1:1 Token Swap:** For every ZOO or vZOO token deposited into the designated swap pool, an equivalent amount of GAMR will be automatically generated on the PLYR Chain.

**Reduction of Circulating Supply:** To maintain the value and control the supply of the new GAMR tokens, the ZOO or vZOO tokens used in the swap will be sent to a burn address (often denoted as 0x000). This action permanently removes the swapped tokens from circulation, effectively reducing the total supply and potentially increasing the scarcity and value of GAMR.

### Accessibility of the Swap Service

**Service Launch:** The token swap service will be available immediately following the mainnet launch of the PLYR Chain, ensuring that token holders can transition to the new platform without delay.

**Access Through Zookeeper.finance:** Token holders can access the swap service through the Zookeeper.finance platform. This platform will facilitate the swap process, providing a user-friendly interface for depositing ZOO or vZOO tokens and receiving GAMR tokens.
