# FAQ

#### Do I need a crypto wallet to play Telgather games?

**No.** All Telgather games support wallet-optional onboarding. Players can start instantly, then connect wallets later to unlock token rewards, NFT fusion, and staking.

***

#### How do I earn $TOG?

Play any Telgather game → earn **POG (Proof of Game)** → burn POG at the end of the season to claim $TOG based on your rank and activity.

***

#### What’s the difference between $TOG and $esTOG?

* **$TOG** is the main token: transferable, liquid, and spendable.
* **$esTOG** is earned by staking $TOG. It gives voting power, reward boosts, and access to exclusive perks—but can’t be traded.

***

#### Can I convert $esTOG back into $TOG?

Yes, via vesting.

* 30 days = 80% return
* 60 days = 90%
* 90 days = full 100%\
  Early exits are penalized and burned.

***

#### What chains does Telgather use?

Games are deployed across **Telegram + LINE**, with Web3 backends powered by **Kaia Chain**. NFTs and token logic are fully on-chain, composable, and auditable. Plans to expand cross-chain are in the works. 

***

#### Are Telgather games live?

Yes.

* **Web3PvZ**, **Banana**, **KumaJump**, and others are already live with real players and monetized loops.
* Over **18M players** have already played Telgather games.

***

#### How does Telgather prevent bots or farming abuse?

POG earning has **velocity limits**, **AI-based behavior detection**, and **server-side redemption logic**. Bots get flagged, POG gets throttled, and wallets get shadow-locked.

***

#### What happens if I don’t claim my POG at season end?

You forfeit $TOG rewards, but your POG rolls into next season.\
Strategic players may delay to gain a leaderboard advantage—but it's a tradeoff.

***

#### Is $TOG inflationary?

No. $TOG has **fixed supply**.\
Rewards come from a **seasonal pool**, not emissions. Every $TOG is earned, not printed.
