Seasonal Reward Architecture

Last updated
Telgather’s end-of-season reward loop is designed as a high-stakes ecosystem reset, where gameplay activity (POG) is converted into scarce, performance-based rewards—balancing instant yield, meta-game positioning, and collectible identity.
This system turns player time into meaningful capital—while also resetting the board for each new cycle, ensuring fresh incentives and evolving strategy.
Each Telgather season operates with bounded emissions and fixed outputs, ensuring deflationary cycles and a fair claim economy.
Seasonal Constraints:
Each game has a fixed POG cap (e.g. 1B from Web3PvZ)
A cross-game leaderboard aggregates player effort across all titles
At season end, a non-inflationary $TOG reward pool is unlocked and distributed
Rank is the only factor determining both token share and badge tier
To access seasonal rewards, players must explicitly commit their earned POG to the season’s “Finalization Contract.” This is a claim-or-carry tradeoff mechanism.
Depositing POG triggers:
Permanent burn of that POG
Proportional claim of $TOG from the fixed pool
Mint of a Rank Badge NFT based on leaderboard position
Unclaimed POG is not eligible for any rewards
Instead, it rolls over into the next season as a head start
But: Carryover forfeits all immediate token rewards
🧠 This introduces a meta-decision layer: short-term liquidity vs. long-term dominance.
Rank Badges are season-specific, performance-linked NFTs that reflect a player's placement in the leaderboard hierarchy. They serve both as flexible visual markers and as utility-bearing assets for the next season.
Utility Mechanics:
Boosts POG earnings next season based on tier:
SUPREME
Top 0.1%
12.50%
AURORA
Top 0.1%-0.5%
10.00%
DIAMOND
Top 0.5%-1%
8.50%
TITAN
Top 1%-5%
Each badge has a unique visual frame per season
Fully tradable mid-season, enabling a secondary skill market
Stackable but Maximum Pog Boost at 30%
Unlocks exclusive access to Master Quests
Ultra-high difficulty PvE content
Enhanced $TOG drop rates and unique NFT loot
Establishes prestige meta and vertical progression track
This reward structure creates a closed, strategically rich seasonal economy:
POG
Gameplay-based non-transferable proof of effort
Finalization Contract
Converts effort into $TOG and NFTs via burn
Rank Badge
Tradable, scalable performance artifact
Carryover Mechanic
Creates risk-reward meta across seasons
Master Quests
Gated elite content layer for top 0.1%
This isn’t a seasonal airdrop—it’s a high-agency system with built-in scarcity, tradeoffs, and identity layers.
Burn = deflation
Rollover = strategic capital
Badges = identity + reward velocity
Leaderboard = performance economy
🎮 POG is not just playtime. It’s proof of capital efficiency, loyalty, and mastery.
