The $STYK Tokens

Introduction

Our $STYK token powers the Syntvi economy and is meant to facilitate the safe and secure trade of goods and assets. Given that the $STYK tokens are produced at a dynamic rate dependent on gameplay-focused factors, the number of tokens available in circulation is strictly dependent on collective user progression.

The $STYK token has a limited maximum supply set at 100 million and divided into 10 thresholds. They will act as modifiers of output quantity, controlling how many tokens are recycled via taxation and spending in order to establish how they re-enter circulation. This circular structure allows Syntvi to simulate a real economy of limited supply and demand guided by the community.

$STYK Generators

An important part of the gameplay is the player's ability to produce $STYK tokens inside their Syntcrafts. In order to do so, the player must access one of their available Synthives and equip as many as seven unique Syntlabs in their respective slots.

Each Synthive has a unique structure, and the slots that support the most connections will always differ. This is done in order to incentivize users to make trades for the assets they need the most and to create diversity in market demand. There are three important factors that determine the player's capacity to produce real-value $STYK tokens:

• Slot Occupancy Rate -> Synthives can function regardless of how many slots inside them are occupied by Syntlabs. However, each missing asset will disable incoming connections and turn them into missing ones. Any empty slot will severely decrease the amount of tokens that Synthive will be able to output. Out of all three factors used to calculate the capacity of the $STYK Generators, the slot occupancy rate is the one carrying the most weight.

• The Pairing System -> Described in detail here, this factor decides the strength of the connection between two assets. With a maximum capacity of 100% for $STYK generation, each of the 20 available nodes can influence it by a factor between 1-5%, as long as the slot is occupied. Unless the player achieves perfect matches between all the assets in a Synthive, the production capacity will stay below 100%, with the ideal percentage being a goal to strive towards for all players interested in trading NFTs.

• The Syntcraft Health -> Besides staking their $STYK tokens, players who participate in Competitive Duels also risk incurring damage to their Syntcraft. This factor is used as a penalty for all the component Synthives' production capacity, as well as a variable that exponentially increases the risk of losing even more tokens if the player is defeated in another Competitive Duel in the future. Unlike the two principles above however, the Syntcraft Health is a temporary penalty that can expire or be eliminated without changing the structure or the contents of a Synthive. The Syntcraft can recover health points in time, or when the player uses special consumables.

After checking each of the three factors above, the game system will calculate how many $STYK tokens the player will be able to generate every 24 hours. In order to facilitate a safe, compact transfer of tokens, all our players' accounts will be fuelled with $STYK at a fixed interval.

The Community and Governing Pools

In order to support a game system with a decentralized economy, we created two automated structures. They work as pools that gather tokens from various sources, including transaction tax and entry fees for different leagues.

The Community Pool holds a small quantity of $STYK tokens, most of them resulting from the Competitive Leagues' entry fees. This pool facilitates small token rewards found in Crates or player compensation for system-related errors. The Community Pool has a high transfer rate and is powered up by the game system itself. Transactions are automatic and unsupervised.

The Governing Pool is the main $STYK token pool. Once the game is launched, the $STYK generators inside the players' Synthives will pull tokens out of this treasury based on their production capacity. Unlike the Community Pool, this one can only be drained by the players' Synthives and will not be continuously supplied.
