# Phase 2. Play-To-Earn

**CHI Adventure** marks **Phase 2** of the **CHI** ecosystem, establishing an innovative **Play-to-Earn (P2E)** model focused on economic sustainability and strategic progression.

In this stage, players embark on their journey on a mysterious island, guided by the **Totem**, a mystical structure responsible for generating **Sardines** — the game’s primary currency — in three distinct rarities:

* 🥉 Bronze
* 🥈 Silver
* 🥇 Gold

> Sardines are essential for unlocking new features, upgrading structures, and driving the internal economy of the game.

### Game Model: Idle + Click-to-Earn

{% endhint %}

CHI Adventure combines **Idle** (passive generation) and **Click-to-Earn** (active collection) models, creating a hybrid experience where:

* Players actively **collect resources**.
* Structures and systems **continue to produce passively** even while offline (**AFK**).

> This balance allows both casual players and committed investors to progress consistently.

***

{% hint style="success" %}

### Core Structures: Growth, Utility, and Progression

{% endhint %}

The game features **13 main structures**, each offering unique functionalities and benefits.

Each structure can be upgraded from **level 1 to 30**, with **visual and functional upgrades every 10 levels**.

These upgrades consume various combinations of:

* **Sardines** (Bronze, Silver, and Gold).
* **$CHI Tokens**.
* **Secondary resources**: Catnip, Toys, and Yarn Balls.

> Starting from **level 10**, upgrades involve a **$CHI token burn**, promoting the **sustainability** of the game's economy.

### Benefits of Structure Upgrades:

* Increased **resource production**.
* Improved **drop rates** for higher-value Sardines and $CHI tokens.
* Expanded **passive earning** mechanics (**AFK**).
* Enhanced **Total Island Value**.

### Decorations: Strategy and Aesthetic Value

In addition to functional structures, players can acquire and place **Decorations** on their island.

Although Decorations **do not alter production** nor provide direct buffs, they are essential for:

* **Increasing Total Island Value (LAND Value)**.
* Improving **ranking position**.
* Potentially ensuring **eligibility for future events**.

> Strategic use of Decorations allows players to maximize their island's value **without relying exclusively** on upgrading core structures.

***

{% hint style="success" %}

### LAND Value

{% endhint %}

The **Total Island Value (LAND Value)** is a metric composed of the sum of levels of structures and placed decorations.

This metric is fundamental for:

* Assessing **individual progress**.
* Determining **competitive ranking positions**.
* Influencing **rewards and future events**.

> CHI Adventure's model is **Play-to-Earn (P2E)** with **weekly withdrawals**. It is not an **airdrop** system, but rather a game with **continuous rewards** based on performance and progression.

***

{% hint style="success" %}

### Characters: Boosting Production

{% endhint %}

Players can unlock and equip **Characters**, who provide direct improvements to:

* **Collection speed**.
* **Quantity** of Sardines produced.

#### Features:

* **Non-customizable**.
* Possess **specific functions and synergies** with island structures.
* Each character helps optimize **production** or extend the efficiency of the **AFK mode**.

***

{% hint style="info" %}

#### **Exclusive Reward: Mystery Boxes (COMING SOON)**

{% endhint %}

**Mystery Boxes**, obtained through exploration missions, will contain a variety of important rewards for game progression:

* **NFT Cards** in four rarities:
  * **Common**
  * **Uncommon**
  * **Rare**
  * **Legendary**
* **$CHI Tokens** — for use in upgrades and progression.
* **Production Items** — such as Catnip, Toys, and Yarn Balls, essential for upgrading structures and increasing island productivity.

#### **Benefits of NFT Cards:**

* Generation of **passive income** in **$CHI tokens**.
* Potential to enhance the player's **economic efficiency**.

> **NFT Cards** **do not grant exclusive items** or participation in **governance**. Their value is primarily tied to **passive income** and **progression optimization** within the game.

***

{% hint style="info" %}

### Exclusive Collection: 4,444 NFTs (**COMING SOON**)

{% endhint %}

A limited collection of **4,444 exclusive NFTs** will be released, offering:

* **Income bonuses** within the game.
* Access to **special privileges**.

> These NFTs **do not grant unique items**, **are not customizable**, and **do not confer governance power**.

***

{% hint style="success" %}

### **Sustainable Economy: Token Burn and Weekly Withdrawals**

{% endhint %}

**CHI Adventure** adopts a carefully balanced economic model, designed to ensure the **sustainability** and **healthy growth** of the ecosystem.

#### **$CHI Token Burn**

* Starting from **level 10 upgrades**, a **$CHI token burn mechanism** is activated.
* This gradually reduces **token circulation**, strengthening its **scarcity** and promoting a **more sustainable economy** in the long term.

#### **Weekly Withdrawals**

* Players can make **scheduled withdrawals** on a **weekly basis**, converting part of their earnings into **$CHI tokens**.
* **Withdrawal conditions** consider aspects such as **performance, game progression**, and a **small operational fee**, aimed at maintaining **liquidity** and the **economic balance** of the platform.

> This system fosters a **balanced and scalable economy**, protects the **token’s value**, and encourages **continuous player engagement**.

***

> *The island awaits — gather your Sardines, build your empire, and climb the ranks in the evolving CHI ecosystem.*
