ARCANO ECONOMY

Tokenomics & On-Chain Flow

A clear, player-first overview of how GALA, Essence, Eggs and Evolutions connect inside Arcano.

EGG MINT

500 GALA

Mint price per standard Faction Egg. Admin-adjustable for live economy tuning.

ARCANO EGG (PREMIUM)

2000 GALA

Premium mint that grants 4 eggs with a 25% chance per faction on each egg roll.

GALA → ESSENCE

100 GALA → 1 Essence

Example rate. 15% burned, 85% to treasury. All values admin-adjustable.

EGG LAYER

Egg Types & Mint Prices

All egg prices are configurable by admin in the contract.

Faction Eggs (x4)

Player chooses a specific faction. Mint guarantees that the hatched beast belongs to that faction.

  • • Frost Egg
  • • Inferno Egg
  • • Nature Egg
  • • Storm Egg
500 GALA per mint

Universal Arcano Egg

Premium option for players who want a high-value pull. One Arcano Egg mint returns 4 eggs, each with a 25% chance to be Frost, Inferno, Nature or Storm.

Mint Cost 2000 GALA
Eggs Granted 4× random faction eggs
Faction Odds 25% each (F / I / N / S)

Internally, this behaves like a 4-pack mint with faction rolls. Exact pricing and odds can be tuned before mainnet.

INCUBATION

Hatch Timing & GALA Speedups

Base hatch time is configurable. Speedups are paid purely in GALA.

Base Incubation

  • • Default hatch time: 24 hours (admin-adjustable)
  • • XP / stats are applied once the Egg hatches into a Baby.
  • • Incubation progress is tracked in real time server-side.

Speedup Options

-1 hour 100 GALA
-4 hours 300 GALA
-8 hours 500 GALA

All speedup payments are in GALA. Exact distribution (burn vs. treasury) can be configured in the contract, same as other sinks.

CORE ECONOMY LOOP

GALA Burn → Essence Generation

Required for Evolution

STEP 1

Player spends GALA

Example: 100 GALA → Essence conversion.

STEP 2

On-Chain Split

  • • 15% of GALA → Burn wallet
  • • 85% of GALA → Arcano Treasury / Reward pools

Percentages are example defaults and can be tuned for long-term balance.

STEP 3

Essence Minted

Example rate: 100 GALA → 1 Essence.

Essence is then consumed by Evolution (Baby → Young → Adult) and other advanced systems.

EVOLUTION & MERGING

Baby → Young → Adult Costs

Evolution always burns previous forms and consumes Essence + GALA.

STEP 1

Baby → Young

  • • Requires 2× Babies from the same faction
  • • 50 / 50 outcome between the two selected Baby types
Essence Cost 1 Essence
GALA Cost 50 GALA

RESULT

New Young Beast

One Young beast is minted. The two Baby NFTs are burned as part of the evolution.

STEP 2

Young → Adult

  • • Requires 1× Young of that species
  • • No merge needed here — pure evolution
Essence Cost 3 Essence
GALA Cost 100 GALA

RESULT

Adult, Battle-Ready Beast

One Adult beast is minted and enters the full battle pool. The Young NFT is burned, keeping supply in check.

LIVE BALANCING

Admin Controls & Tunable Parameters

Configurable by Admin

  • • Essence is the evolution key, created by burning GALA.
  • • Evolution burns previous forms to keep supply under control.
  • • Economy can be tuned over time without breaking UX.
All values shown here are initial design parameters and may be adjusted before or after launch to keep the Arcano economy healthy and long-term sustainable.
