Point Economy

Last updated
The Point Economy is the core system of accumulation, usage, and transformation of in-game points ($POINT) within the PORTAL POINT universe. It serves as the engine that powers gameplay, creative interaction, and the broader tokenomics of the project — seamlessly integrating game mechanics, user engagement, and TON blockchain infrastructure into a unified economic cycle.
The PORTAL POINT economy is more than a reward system — it's a flexible, expandable economic engine that fuels creativity, participation, and digital ownership. It transforms every tap into a potential income stream and every in-game world into a shareable, tradeable story. In this creative metaverse, players are no longer passive participants — they are stakeholders of a digital economy that rewards exploration and imagination.
$POINT is the in-game currency that allows users to:
📥 Accumulate rewards through gameplay (catching activated Grabbers in the Telegram mini-app),
🎮 Spend to unlock new worlds, quests, collectible NFTs, and exclusive events,
💱 Convert into TON tokens or other assets via integrated exchanges like STON.fi.
⚙️ Basic Rules:
Players activate a GRABBER key, which then appears in the portal as a collectible object.
Tapping it at the right moment earns points, multiplied by the current multiplier.
A mistimed tap resets the multiplier and may result in partial point loss.
📈 Multipliers:
Default multiplier: x100
Advanced multipliers: x200 / x300 / x500 / x1000
Unlockable via:
Booster purchases or temporary power-ups
Official in-game events
Rewards for community participation
Accumulated $POINT can be used for:
🗝 Accessing exclusive NFT worlds and comic chapters released by the PORTAL POINT team or partners
🪙 Purchasing digital collectibles (Grabbers, skins, themed artifacts)
📤 Converting into TON through decentralized exchanges like STON.fi
📊 Participating in community governance (future DAO mechanics)
🎁 Joining special airdrops and events with increased yield and unique rewards
To ensure long-term sustainability and value:
🔥 A portion of $POINT will be burned during specific actions (e.g., unlocking special content, NFT minting, Grabber upgrades)
📉 Total issuance and flow are regulated by gameplay cycles and user activity trends
$POINT operates off-chain, while being linked to on-chain activity
Supports seamless interaction with STON.fi DEX and Getgems NFT marketplace
A wrapped version of $POINT is planned for future release on the TON network, enabling on-chain trading and withdrawals
$POINT2 is the essential fuel and control mechanism for the AI layer, enabling:
🖼 On-demand image and world generation using Stable Diffusion and generative pipelines
🔑 Access gating to premium generation features (e.g., SDXL, LoRA, 4K assets, custom styles)
📦 NFT minting rights on-chain via TIP-4 (TON) or ERC-721 (Polygon) standards
⚙️ Execution priority in the portal_gen_api job queue
📊 Governance votes to influence future styles, model parameters, and content policies
$POINT2 is directly embedded into the AI platform via smart contract logic and API integration:
API Token Gating: Every generation request to portal_gen_api includes a signature and proof-of-balance for $POINT2 tokens, verified via smart contract.
Usage Metering: GPU-time, prompt complexity, and image resolution define $POINT2 cost per generation.
Quota System: Holding thresholds (e.g., 1000 $POINT2) grant permanent access tiers (Basic, Pro, DAO).
Prompt-to-NFT Flow: Once a generation is complete, the metadata is automatically packaged and linked to a mintable NFT on either TON or Polygon.
Content Signing: Metadata files are signed with the $POINT2 holder’s address, binding creative rights and authorship.
Holding and spending $POINT2 grants:
🛠 AI-Driven World Builder Access — Including real-time image generation, world metadata crafting, and scenario templating 🖌 Styling & Theme Customization — Access to LoRA-powered thematic styles (e.g., “Genesis Rift”, “Quantum Tower”) 🔁 Cross-chain NFT Minting — Choose where to mint: TON or Polygon 🪙 Revenue Participation — In DAO mode, contributors can earn a share of revenue based on usage routing 🎯 Token-Only Tools — Exclusive tools such as Batch Generation, Prompt Caching, and Metadata Mixers
To maintain token value and balance GPU resource demand:
🔥 Per-Generation Burn: A % of $POINT2 is burned with each generation session
🚫 High-Cost Operations (e.g., 4K, animation-ready assets) include higher burn rates
📉 Deflationary Cycles tied to monthly usage caps and platform-wide resource allocation
The $POINT2 token also serves as a governance asset, enabling holders to:
📢 Vote on:
Style models to be added or deprecated
GPU resource allocation between users and events
Content policy thresholds and moderation rules
🛠 Propose:
New generation modes (e.g., text-to-animation, character rigging)
Model upgrades or open-source integrations
Tokenomic shifts (e.g., adjusting burn rates or tier thresholds)
$POINT2 lives on Polygon, ensuring fast, cheap, and scalable transactions.
It’s bridged via smart contracts to TON interactions, enabling generated worlds to be minted as TON NFTs.
A Polygon → TON workflow is embedded into the MiniApp, allowing seamless minting even when generation is funded with $POINT2.
$POINT2 transforms generative AI into a programmable economic layer — where compute becomes currency, and creative access is owned and governed by the community.
