Airdrop Model

EpicApes is a Free-to-Earn ecosystem where user activity directly translates into real token rewards. Players are rewarded with $EPIC tokens through airdrops based on their in-game achievements and overall contribution to the ecosystem. The airdrop is distributed across multiple seasons. During each active season, players earn $CASH, $EXP, and $SP by participating in gameplay, completing quests, and staking NFTs. At the end of the season, a snapshot is taken to record each player's progress.

Each season has its own dedicated allocation of $EPIC tokens. Any unclaimed rewards are locked for a period of 24 months. After this lock period, the tokens are gradually reintroduced as rewards in future seasons. This structure ensures long-term sustainability and provides ongoing incentives for active participants.

Hybrid Airdrop Model: Three Engagement Categories

The airdrop system uses a unique hybrid model powered by three off-chain tokens:

• $CASH – earned through in-game activity

• $EXP – earned by completing quests on the platform

• $SP – earned through NFT staking

Each of these tokens reflects a different type of contribution to the ecosystem. Together, they determine the player’s final share of $EPIC in each airdrop season. All token-related activities are recorded on-chain, even though the token itself remains off-chain.

Weight Coefficients and Governance Voting System

Each of the three tokens has a specific weight in the airdrop formula (for example):

• $CASH = 40% (weight 0.4)

• $EXP = 40% (weight 0.4)

• $SP = 20% (weight 0.2)

The formula for calculating a player’s airdrop share is:

($CASH × 0.4) + ($EXP × 0.4) + ($SP × 0.2) = Total Share Points

These Share Points are compared to the total of all users' points, and the player receives a proportional amount of the $EPIC tokens allocated for that season.

The weight of each token in the airdrop formula is not fixed. Instead, $EPIC holders can shape the future of reward distribution through a governance voting system.

• Holders vote by locking their $EPIC tokens during a voting period.

• They can choose to increase the weight of one or two tokens.

• No token's weight can be reduced below 10%.

• The total combined weight must always remain 100%.

This system empowers the community to decide which activities should carry more influence in future airdrop seasons. It creates a dynamic and responsive reward structure that evolves with the needs of the ecosystem.

Example Calculation

Let’s say Season 1 has 1,000 $EPIC tokens to distribute. Two users participated:

Alex earned:

• 2,000 $CASH

• 3,000 $EXP

• 1,500 $SP

→ (2000 × 0.4) + (3000 × 0.4) + (1500 × 0.2) = 2,300 Share Points

Nick earned:

• 5,000 $CASH

• 5,000 $EXP

• 0 $SP

→ (5000 × 0.4) + (5000 × 0.4) + (0 × 0.2) = 4,000 Share Points

Total Share Points = 6,300

Resulting airdrop:

• Alex receives (2,300 / 6,300) × 1000 = 365.08 $EPIC

• Nick receives (4,000 / 6,300) × 1000 = 634.92 $EPIC
