Seasonal Reward Architecture
POG Conversion, Competitive Rank NFTs, and Strategic Tradeoffs
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.
🗓️ Structured Seasonal Supply Model
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
🔁 The Burn-to-Claim Protocol
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.
🔓 Claiming
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
❌ Opting Out
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 Badge NFTs: Competitive Identity + Functional Boost
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%
7.00%
GOLD
Top 5%-20%
5.00%
SILVER
Top 20%-50%
3.00%
BRONZE
Top 50%-80%
2.00%
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%
👑 Legendary Tier Badge (Top 10 Only)
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
♻️ Seasonal Loop Dynamics
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%
🧩 Design Philosophy
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.
