POG Economy & Leaderboard Mechanics

POG (Proof of Game) is Telgather’s ecosystem-wide activity metric. It’s not a token—it’s a non-transferable, reputation-based proof system that powers rewards, rankings, and engagement across all games and the Portal.

🎮 What is POG?

POG is earned by playing any Telgather-integrated game. It’s used to:

  • Track seasonal leaderboard performance

  • Unlock claim rights for $TOG rewards

  • Redeem for items, NFTs, or Diamond top-ups in the Game Portal

  • Determine player commitment and anti-bot eligibility

  • Unlock score-based boosts or scaling in specific games

🔐 POG is soulbound. It cannot be bought, transferred, or botted—only earned.


📈 Seasonal Leaderboards

Each Telgather season includes a global POG leaderboard, ranking players across all games based on total POG earned.

Leaderboard Mechanics:

  • Reset every season (typically 30–60 days)

  • Real-time updates via Game Portal + in-game UIs

  • Separate tracks for free and pass-holding users

  • Top % of leaderboard eligible for esTOG, NFT airdrops, or exclusive cosmetics

💡 Anti-Bot & Velocity Control

To preserve fairness and prevent farming, Telgather applies dynamic velocity caps and pattern detection.

System Features:

  • Hard POG earn limits per hour

  • Diminishing returns on repetitive actions

  • AI-based behavior tracking (auto-play, farm loops, etc.)

  • Flagged accounts are temporarily paused from earning

🚫 POG is meant to measure gameplay, not grind time.


⚡ Utility of POG

POG is more than just a score—it’s a currency of engagement.

🔹 Portal Redemption

POG can be redeemed for:

  • Loot crates (Item Boxes, POG Boxes)

  • Speed-Up Tickets

  • Partial Game Pass shards

  • Limited cosmetic items

🔹 Boost Unlocks

Higher POG = passive scaling bonuses inside games:

  • Stronger base stats for PvP

  • Faster quest completions

  • Access to secret stages / boss runs

  • Rare drop rate increases

🔹 Reward Eligibility

POG is the only metric used to calculate weekly and seasonal reward claim tiers:

  • $TOG distributions

  • esTOG boosts

  • Airdrop keys

  • NFT whitelist spots


🧠 Strategic Implication

POG turns time spent into platform-wide value. Unlike traditional XP systems, POG is:

  • Ecosystem-wide (not game-locked)

  • Redeemable for both in-game and meta rewards

  • Designed to fuel recirculation of $TOG via sinks and boosts

  • Immune to market manipulation due to its non-transferable nature

🎯 POG aligns user engagement with ecosystem growth—without inflation.
