In MoonKarts, your success isn’t just about crossing the finish line first—it’s about maximizing multiple levers: skill, time invested, NFT quality, and governance participation. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or just gearing up, understanding how rewards are distributed can amplify your game earnings significantly.
The Reward System, Demystified
MoonKarts allocates a fixed supply of COLONY tokens daily, and these tokens are divided into distinct reward pools:
Orbitals Pool (40%)
Ranking Pool (25%)
COLONY tokens on the race track (10%)
Referral Pool (5%)
Seasonal Pool (20%)
Each pool has its own rules and mechanics. For example, Orbitals are gained by gathering orbital points during races (more when using higher‐quality cards, drivers, parts), and they feed into leaderboards that pay out COLONY proportionally. Meanwhile, ranking performance also contributes via daily and seasonal leaderboards. Referrals are rewarded separately—invite friends, and when they spend (at least $20 via fiat or non-COLONY/Script tokens), you accumulate “referral points” toward that pool. There are caps to prevent system abuse: an individual can’t earn more than 0.5% of the total rewards, nor more than 10% of the referral pool on any given day.
The Seasonal Rewards Pool: Long-Term Prestige & Payoff
Crucially, MoonKarts uses a 10-day cycle for its Seasonal Rewards Pool. Twenty percent of every day’s COLONY token allocation flows into this pool. At the end of each cycle, snapshots are taken of leaderboard standings. Consistency matters: your performance over all 10 days—not just in a single match—determines how much of the seasonal tokens you receive.
This mechanism ensures that MoonKarts rewards sustained commitment. By balancing day-to-day wins, quality NFTs, and governance staking, a competitive player can compound rewards.
Why It Matters
For players aiming to maximize COLONY earnings, it’s not enough to win races. You’ll want to:
Use high-quality NFTs (kart, driver, parts)
Stake governance tokens
Care about both daily and seasonal leaderboards
Engage with referrals carefully
MoonKarts’ economy encourages strategic play and rewards those who invest effort over time. If you’re tackling the long haul, the Seasonal Rewards Pool offers not just prestige, but meaningful gains—making consistency just as important as momentary victories.
