3🔺 Point Economy

hashtag
🔹 1. The Nature of POINT: Points, Not a Token

POINT is NOT a blockchain token.

  • These are internal points, the ledger for which is maintained by the centralized PORTAL POINT game server.

  • They have no direct monetary equivalent and are not convertible within the MiniApp.

  • Their primary value lies in game utility and proof of status.

hashtag
🔹 2. Functions of POINT Inside the MiniApp

POINT allow users, solely within the Telegram MiniApp, to: Earn: Accumulate through successful gameplay (tapping Grabbers). Spend:

  • Unlock new game worlds (PORTAL Worlds).

  • Purchase in-game boosts, temporary modifiers, and cosmetics.

  • Gain access to additional comic book story chapters.

  • Participate in special internal events with enhanced rewards.

Metaphor: POINT are like arcade game credits. They can only be earned and spent inside that specific arcade.

🔹 3. Earning Mechanics and Multipliers

Process:

  1. A user starts a game session in the MiniApp.

  2. A collectible object (Grabber) appears in the world.

  3. A well-timed tap grants POINT, calculated by the formula: Base_Reward * Current_Multiplier.

  4. An error resets the multiplier to its base value.

Multiplier Sources:

  • Base Multiplier: x100.

  • Progressive Multiplier: Increases for a series of successful actions.

  • Temporary Boosts: Purchased for POINT and active for a limited time.

  • Special Conditions: Active game events or achievements.

🔹 4. Verified Reputation on Stellar (The Value Export Mechanism)

Key Innovation: While POINT themselves are not a crypto asset, the fact of their possession and a user's game achievements can be cryptographically verified and used within the Stellar ecosystem.

Technical Process (Verified Achievement Protocol):

  1. Attestation Formation (Off-chain):

    • The PORTAL POINT game server regularly (daily/weekly) generates a digital attestation for each user.

    • The attestation contains a hashed excerpt: User_ID, POINT_Balance, Level, Achievements, Snapshot_Time.

    • The attestation is signed by the server's private attestation key.

  2. Proof Publication (On-chain Stellar):

    • A Merkle Root derived from thousands of such attestations is periodically recorded in a Stellar transaction as a MEMO field or within a Manage Data Operation.

    • This transaction is signed and submitted to the Stellar network. This serves as immutable public proof of the existence of this data at a specific point in time.

  3. Utilization by Partners (Stellar DApps):

    • A partner project (e.g., HERO2QUEST game, DeFi protocol) creates a Soroban smart contract with logic for reputation verification.

    • A user wishing to claim a bonus provides the contract with their signed attestation and the Merkle Proof that their attestation is included in the root hash recorded on Stellar.

    • The Soroban contract verifies: a) The attestation's signature (confirming it was issued by the trusted PORTAL POINT server). b) The Merkle Proof (confirming the attestation was part of the committed snapshot). c) The attestation's contents (POINT balance, level).

    • Based on this verification, the contract automatically grants the user benefits: a discount, bonus items, an increased staking rate, NFT minting rights, etc.

🔹 5. Examples of Integration with Stellar Partners

Partners do not access the game server. They read public, verifiable data from the blockchain.

  1. HERO2QUEST Game (Soroban Contract):

    • Condition: Players with a balance >50,000 POINT receive a unique sword.

    • Mechanism: The HERO2QUEST contract verifies the attestation and issues an in-game NFT item (as a Stellar Asset) if the condition is met.

  2. DeFi Protocol "Stellar Yield":

    • Condition: Holders of the "Legend" status in PORTAL POINT receive a +2% APY bonus on XLM staking.

    • Mechanism: The protocol's contract checks the achievements field in the attestation and automatically applies the increased rate.

  3. NFT Marketplace:

    • Condition: Users who have unlocked more than 10 worlds get access to a pre-sale of an art collection from PORTAL POINT.

    • Mechanism: The marketplace website, via an SDK, verifies the attestation and unlocks the mint button.

🔹 6. Architectural Advantages

  • Full Telegram Compliance: Inside the MiniApp, there are only points, no blockchain operations.

  • Maximum Performance: POINT are awarded instantly, with no network confirmation wait times.

  • True Digital Reputation: User achievements become a portable, verifiable, and valuable asset.

  • Ecosystem Incentive: Partners gain a ready-made mechanism for attracting verified, high-quality active users.

  • Security and Privacy: Only the Merkle root hash goes onto the Stellar blockchain, not personal data. The user decides whom to show their attestation to.

Summary: A Two-Layer Model

  1. Engagement Layer (Inside MiniApp): POINT — a simple, fast, non-financial currency for game progression and socialization.

  2. Value Layer (In the external Stellar ecosystem): Verified Reputation — based on POINT, cryptographically proven, and monetizable in real projects through Soroban smart contracts.

This model transforms gaming activity into reputation capital, usable within the open financial and gaming ecosystem of the Stellar blockchain, while preserving the simplicity and accessibility of the core Telegram application.
