# GalFi Whitepaper

The World's First Science Fiction 4x Play-to-Earn Game

*** **Introducing GalFi** GalFi (Galactic Finance) is a play-to-earn project and economic simulation on a galactic scale. It caters to both experienced crypto gamers, and to newcomers looking for a space themed game to grind and earn real crypto on their race to the top. It is a blockchain based gaming project where serious gamefi meets NFTs in a sci fi setting. GalFi is the world’s first science fiction themed “4X” play-to-earn game involving combat, exploration, mining, developing planets, base building, token farming, and trading. All resources such as minerals, and structures such as ships and buildings are mined and created by the players themselves. There will be no token sale. Most tokens in-game are mined by players just like you. It is designed as an emergent economic simulation where each player has a key role in deciding the fate of the galaxy. Forge your unique path to profit amongst the stars. As well as player made ships and buildings, there are 15 different tokenized currencies and resources for you to discover, each with their own use and function, and they are all on-chain and fully tradeable. GalFi’s 15 tokens utilise both the Polygon and Ethereum networks, and a bridge is provided for the tokens between the two networks. All GalFi game NFTs exist on the Polygon blockchain. At launch GALFI token will be tradeable on popular decentralised exchanges (DEXs) on both Ethereum and Polygon networks, while the remaining 14 tokens will be tradeable on GalFi’s internal DEX. Planets and Asteroids are player owned NFTs in-game, with changing metadata to reflect player buildings and customization of their worlds. There are also two NFT crew collections: \[Author Last Name] / GalFi Whitepaper / 3 10,000 Crew Members and 10,000 Specialists. Each offers unique benefits for missions and resource generation to their owners. GalFi also supports 17 current NFT collections including Aavegotchi, Galactic Apes, Galactic Apes Genesis, Star Wolvez, and many more. Send your favorite NFTs out on mining expeditions, or to explore alien ruins, or in mechs to fight the bug xenos. Or just attend exclusive social events on your luxury space yacht, and wake up after a night of partying with some rare alien artefacts. Eventually you will build Dyson Spheres and Ringworlds around suns, assemble Capital Class ships of immense power that can be manned by 20 NFTs, and command armies of millions in large scale battles with the bug xenos. You will also colonies new worlds in Contested Space, where anyone can establish a colony but no one is safe from attack. With soft staking technology the game never actually interacts with your NFTs, it simply detects the NFTs in your wallet. Additionally the game runs on the Polygon network, while detecting your NFTs on the L1 Ethereum chain. This is for your security and peace of mind: nothing can ever happen to your beloved NFTs. GalFi provides intuitive gameplay intertwined with deep strategy, enabling absolute beginners and crypto veterans to earn real crypto exploring, mining, trading, building, and fighting in a vast galaxy of limitless possibilities. *** **Lore** > *In the far future humanity had inexorably spread across the cosmos. This was a time of utopia and peace, trillions lived in paradise on a million worlds . There was no war: everyone lived for a thousand Earth years and pursued their highest calling. Beautiful works of art were created, indeed whole worlds were created as art, and humans were on the verge of discovering the secrets of existence itself. Sentient robots and uplifted apes, wolves, dinosaurs and monkeys did humanity’s bidding. Then came the great collapse. No one was sure how it started, but everyone saw how it ended. All of humanity’s advanced tech became useless in an instant. Trillions perished from famine, disease, and the wars that erupted over the remaining rudimentary resources of each world. A secretive group known as The Guardians had been protecting highly advanced AI tech for thousands of years. Many gave their lives for their sacred mission. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, to try and restore order in the galaxy The Guardians created the GalFi Nexus: a hyperintelligent AI to oversee all technology, all trade, and all resource distribution in the galaxy. Under the ever watchful and omniscient GalFi Nexus AI, humanity and their uplifted ape brethren could begin again on their quest to regain their former glory. Will you help them?* *** **How The Game Works** GalFi has a diverse range of key gameplay loops and activities: staking, developing planets and generating resources, building ships, running missions, exploration, colonization, combat, and trading **Developing Planets and Generating Resources**: Building structures on Planet and Asteroid NFTs is the core activity of the economic simulation. Buildings cost tokenized resources to build, and different buildings generate different resources daily. They are key to any strategy to maximize resource production and profits for players, providing a reliable income of tokens on a daily basis. For details of the buildings available please see the chapter Buildings \[**link to chapter**] later in this whitepaper. Planets and Asteroids are NFT collections; players will need to own Planets and / or Asteroids to be able to build buildings on them and develop their worlds. **Staking:** Staking is another reliable method of generating income for players. There are 17 supported NFT collections that can be staked for passive daily tokenized resources. These collections are outlined in the chapter Crew NFTs. GalFi utilizes soft-staking, this means the game simply reads your wallet address to verify your own NFTs, and then automatically starts generating daily rewards. The game contract does not actually interact with the NFTs in any way; this means that your NFTs are not “locked” into the game or contract, and your NFTs are always safe as the game operates by reading the wallet address only. GalFi will also release its own Crew NFTs and Specialist NFTs. These Crew and Specialist NFTs will be much more useful for missions and resource generation than the other supported collections. Users can also stake their tokens in the GalFi Nexus directly, receiving a share of 1% of all the funds flowing into the GalFi Nexus wallet from all player purchases of ships and buildings in-game. / GalFi Whitepaper / 6 All 15 tokens can also be staked for rewards in the DEX liquidity pools hosted by GalFi for trading all tokenized resources. **Building Ships**: All of the 22 ships in GalFi except for the Micro Shuttle will be built by players. Ships can be used to run missions, as well as traded on the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace. Later, in the Colonization phase of development ships will be used to colonise planets in the Contested Space zone, participate in epic ship to ship battles, and to invade other players’ colonies that are situated in Contested Space. For details of the ships available please see the chapter Ships \[link to chapter]. **Running Missions:** GalFi has 4 types of missions: Mining, Exploration, Social, and Combat. Ships can be loaded with crew NFTs (from the 17 supported collections and the GalFi Crew and Specialist NFTs) and sent on missions. Players can choose to run missions for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and 28 days. At the end of the mission the player is rewarded with tokenised resources. The resources earned are based on the type of mission, the NFTs used, and on the ship used: the larger the ship the more NFTs can be sent on the mission, and the more resources that can be earned. **Exploration:** Exploration missions as described above earn players resources. Also when the Colonisation phase of development is completed in Q4 2024, players can send their ships to explore the Contested Space star map. Many wonders and resources await intrepid explorers, although there is also a risk to lose ships. **Colonization**: When the Colonization phase of development launches in Q4 2024 players will be able to colonise planets in the Contested Space star map with Colony Ships. They will then be able to build buildings on these colonised planets to earn resources. However Contested / GalFi Whitepaper / 7 Space lives up to its name, and planets situated in Contested Space can also be invaded by other players. **Trading**: As an economic simulation GalFi has many opportunities for trading. All the game’s currencies and resources can be traded against each other on the in-game DEX. The value of all the tokens will be set by players trading activity in the free markets. For a summary of all the 15 different tokenised resources please see the Tokenomics Chapter \[link to chapter here]. GALFI token will be traded on established DEXs on both Ethereum and Polygon at launch. Player built ships, as well as Asteroids and Planets, Crew and Specialist NFTs, and other supported NFTs, can also be traded directly to other players on the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace. Well developed Planets and Asteroids will command a premium and be very valuable. Clever players will be able to earn from inefficiencies in the markets as well as selling developed Planets, Ships, and other NFTs: this meta game will be a lucrative activity in itself. *** **How to Earn** As a galactic financial simulation GalFi has been designed so there are multiple ways to earn, both for players with substantial starting capital and NFTs, and those starting with almost nothing who will grind to the top: * Earn by sending ships and NFTs on missions to gather resources * Earn passively from your developed Planets and buildings and by gradually expanding your empire * Earn with the game’s referral program, where you receive 1% of the resources your referred player earns, for one year * Earn by trading Planets, Asteroids, Ships, and Crew NFTs at the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace. The markets will fluctuate based on supply and demand, and there will be plenty of opportunities for savvy traders * Earn by selling highly developed Planets and Asteroids with many buildings at a great premium * Earn by trading GALFI token on supported DEXs on the Ethereum and Polygon networks * Earn by trading GalFi’s 15 different tokenized currencies on the in-game DEX. The GalFi DEX is a free market and prices will be determined by player activities and supply and demand. * Earn from soft staking supported external NFTs and GalFi’s Crew and Specialist NFT collections. Some supported external NFT collections are quite cheap. * Earn by exploring Contested Space with an explorer ship, many wonders await there * Earn by expanding into Contested Space, and growing your empire in this high risk high reward area * Each of the 15 tokens can also be staked in-game in the GalFi Nexus; earning a share of 1% of all inflows to the GalFi Nexus from other players buying buildings, ships, and other items from the game * Earn rewards by staking GalFi’s 15 different tokenized resources in the DEX liquidity pools hosted by GalFi * Clever players will notice opportunities and inefficiencies in the various marketplaces and capitalize on these to their advantage; this is a key aspect of GalFi gameplay *** **Planets and Asteroids** Planets and Asteroids are essential to maximise earnings in GalFi: they are required to be able to build buildings that passively earn token rewards daily. Buildings are built on Planet and Asteroid NFTs. Planets and Asteroids come in three sizes: common, uncommon, and rare. Rare Planets and Asteroids have the most building slots, followed by uncommon, and finally common have the least number of building sites. Planets and Asteroids are also NFTs that can be purchased directly from the game, or from other players on the NFT marketplace. There are 5,000 Planet NFTs and 5,000 Asteroid NFTs. If there is demand for it, a second generation of Planets and Asteroids with different specifications will be created for new players to join the game. Planet and Asteroid NFTs contain metadata about the number of buildings and the level of these buildings on the Planet and Asteroid; this means well developed Planets and Asteroids will command a very high premium on the NFT marketplace. GalFi NFT Sales: 10% of the ETH and Matic from all GalFi direct sales of Planets, Asteroids, and Crew NFTs will be used to buy game tokens from DEXs, to provide some stabilisation to the markets. Free NTFs After Buying a Planet or Asteroid: After a player starts the game and purchases a Planet or Asteroid they get 1 x Free Starter Micro Shuttle Ship NFT, 1 x Free GalFi Crew NFT (so the player can run missions from the start), and the first Colony HQ building can also be constructed for free (so the player can start generating tokens from buildings from the / GalFi Whitepaper / 11 start). This is once per account, so if a player buys another planet with the same account, they do not get more free NFTs. *** **Buildings** Buildings on Planets and Asteroids are the lifeblood of the GalFi economy, along with staking and missions they are the only way new tokens enter the GalFi ecosystem. They are an essential part of any strategy to maximise your earnings. Buildings are stored as metadata on Planet and Asteroid NFTs; this means Planets and Asteroids with more buildings will display this data when listed on the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace, and will be more valuable. Upgrading Buildings: Buildings can be upgraded to level 10: each level costing 1.5x the previous level cost, and each level generating 1.5x the tokens of the previous level. Therefore upgrade costs increase exponentially, along with the rewards. Your Colony HQ building also needs to be upgraded to the level you wish to upgrade any other building to. Building consumption of GFNRG and / or GFOOD also increases 1.5x per building level. Early Adopter Rewards: For the sustainability of the game and to ensure the tokens remain valuable, token rewards from buildings, missions, and soft staking will be reduced over time. The changes are yet to be finalised depending on the state of the game economy and the number of players. This means early adopters will be rewarded with the highest earnings possible from buildings, ships, and missions. The first economic rebalancing will take place 90 days after launch. Every 90 days thereafter the game economy will be reviewed and adjusted as needed. Ships may also become more expensive in later economic updates. Note: GALFI rewards from buildings, soft staking, and missions will definitely be reduced over time, rewarding early adopters. **GFNRG and GFOOD Consumption:** Many buildings consume GFNRG and GFOOD daily, while other buildings produce GFNRG and GFOOD. Players can fill buildings with GFNRG and GFOOD for up to 7 days of consumption (higher level buildings can be filled with 13 GFNRG and GFOOD for longer than 7 days). For ease of use, all buildings can be replenished in one-click. *** **GalFi Buildings (Specifications for Level 1 Buildings)** **Colony HQ** Cost: Level 1 building is free, 2nd level: 200 GFORE, 200 GFMNR GALFI Cost (Optional): Level 1 building is free, 2nd level: 75 GALFI Daily Output: 0.5 GALFI, 1 GFMNR, 1 GFORE, 1 GFNRG, 1 GFOOD Daily Consumption: None Special Conditions: None Build time: Instant, upgrading also instant **Fusion Power Plant** Cost: 250 GFORE, 250 GFMNR GALFI Cost (Optional): 100 GALFI Daily Output: 5 GFNRG Daily Consumption**:** 1 GFOOD Special Conditions: None Build time: 12 hours, or instant if purchased with GALFI token.

Each level takes 7 days longer to build than the previous level, however upgrading is instant when purchased with GALFI token. *Note: Dyson Sphere and Ringworld megastructures cannot be upgraded.* *** **Tokenomics** GalFi tokenomics has been carefully designed to ensure the longevity of the game and the value of the 15 tokens in the game. To enable a level playing field in-game and a fair distribution there will be no token presale. All currency except tokens reserved for the team, marketing, and market making is earned and created by players in-game, and can be traded on the in-game DEX and on external DEXs. GalFi Ecosystem: Each currency has a vital in-game use and utility in the GalFi ecosystem. It is expected trading volumes will be reasonably high, as players will trade tokens they hold for other tokens they need to build the buildings and ships they wish to build. Many factors will drive demand and value of GalFi’s tokens: * Different tokens are needed for constructing certain buildings and ships * Players will buy certain tokens they need from DEXs * Buildings and ships are token sinks that will return tokens to the game’s GalFi Nexus wallet, instead of being sold on the open market * Upgrading buildings requires increasingly larger amounts of tokens * Instead of selling their earned tokens, many players will use their tokens to further grow their earnings and asset base in-game by constructing and upgrading buildings and ships * Players will also lock up their tokens by staking them in the GalFi Nexus to earn more tokens * Players will also stake their tokens in the game’s DEX liquidity pools * Because there is no ICO / token presale there will be no ICO investors selling their tokens soon after game launch * Players aiming to grow their empire more quickly will purchase GALFI and other game tokens on DEXs \[Author Last Name] / GalFi Whitepaper / 26 * Investors and traders who wish to speculate on the growth of the game will buy GALFI token and other game tokens from DEXs *** **GALFI Token (Galactic Finance):** At launch GALFI (Galactic Finance) will trade on DEXs on Ethereum and Polygon networks. GALFI has many uses in-game: to buy buildings outright, to upgrade buildings, to speed up building construction, and for trading against the other 14 game tokens. Players can also list their Planet, Asteroid, Ship, and Crew NFTs for sale for GALFI if they wish. Players looking to grow their empire more quickly will purchase GALFI on DEXs and use their GALFI in-game for trading and to expand their asset base. **Team Tokens:** It is important that the development team does not run out of funds and that the team has enough resources for continuing the game development. Instead of a token sale 10% of each token supply will be reserved for the team, while 5% will be reserved for marketing. A further 5% will be reserved to provide liquidity on DEXs. The remaining 80% of supply for each currency is earned in-game by players. **GalFi Nexus Staking**: Players staking any of the 15 currencies in-game at the GalFi Nexus receive a share of 1% of all inflows the GalFi Nexus receives from players constructing buildings and ships in-game. This provides an incentive for players to hold their tokens and earn even more. Liquidity Pools: Players can stake all 15 currencies in GalFi’s on-chain liquidity pools, receiving a share of the trading fees. **Early Adopter Rewards:** For the sustainability of the game and to ensure the tokens remain valuable, token rewards from buildings, missions, and soft staking will be reduced over time. The full schedule is yet to be finalized as it depends on the state of the game economy and the number of players. This means early adopters will be rewarded with the highest earnings possible from buildings, ships, and missions. The first economic rebalancing will take place 90 days after launch. Every 90 days thereafter the game economy will be reviewed and adjusted as needed. GALFI earnings and mission rewards are especially expected to reduce over time. Ships may also become more expensive in later economic updates. *Note: GALFI rewards from buildings, soft staking, and missions will definitely be reduced over time, rewarding early adopters*. **GalFi NFT Sales:** 10% of the ETH and MATIC from all sales of Planets, Asteroids, and Crew NFTs by the game directly will be used to buy GALFI and other resource tokens from DEXs, to provide some stabilization to the markets. GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace: Where players trade Crew, Planet, Asteroid, and Ship NFTs. Any Ethereum and Matic in the Nexus wallet from the 1% marketplace fees will periodically be used to buy GALFI and other resource tokens from DEXs to provide some stabilisation to the markets. **GalFi DEX:** All GalFi’s 15 tokens can be traded on the GalFi DEX. The DEX is a free market and prices will be determined by player activities and supply and demand. Players can also stake their tokens in the GalFi DEX liquidity pools. *** **GalFi’s 15 Tokens** **Galactic Finance** Ticker: GALFI Supply: 1,000,000,000 Function: Galactic Finance is the lifeblood of the GalFi economy: it is used for buying buildings outright, upgrading buildings, speeding up construction, and trading. GALFI is traded with established tokens like ETH on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) on both Ethereum and Polygon. At launch the other 14 game tokens are traded against GALFI on the in-game DEX. Galactic Finance is generated by some buildings, missions, and soft staking NFTs. *Note: GALFI rewards from buildings, soft staking, and missions will definitely be reduced over time, rewarding early adopters.* **Name: Minerals** Ticker: GFMNR Supply: 10,000,000,000 Function: Minerals are a vital resource and are used for constructing buildings, mechs, and ships. Minerals are generated by the Mineral Mine building, missions, and soft staking NFTs. At launch GFMNR will trade against GALFI on in-game DEXs, and later will also trade on DEXs on Polygon and Ethereum. **Ore** Ticker: GFORE Supply: 10,000,000,000 Function: Ore is another key resource and is also used for constructing buildings, mechs, and ships. Ore is generated by the Ore Mine building, missions, and soft staking NFTs. At launch GFORE will trade against GALFI on in-game DEXs, and later will also trade on DEXs on Polygon and Ethereum. **Hyper** Ticker: HYPER Supply: 100,000,000 Function: Hyper is the most valuable and rare resource in the galaxy. HYPER is used for the construction of Dyson Sphere and Ringworld megastructures. It is earned by the Hyper Refinery building, and soft staking certain NFTs. At launch HYPER will trade against GALFI on in-game DEXs, and later will also trade on DEXs on Polygon and Ethereum.

Special Conditions: +4 on all mission types, can go on all missions *** **Crew NFTs** GalFi integrates 17 existing NFT collections, as well as the game’s Crew and Specialist NFTs that can be soft staked for daily token rewards. GalFi utilizes soft-staking, this means the game simply reads your wallet address to verify you own NFTs, and then automatically starts generating daily rewards. The game contract does not actually interact with the NFTs in any way. This means that your NFTs are not “locked” into the game or contract, and your NFTs are always safe as the game operates by reading the wallet address only. Importantly, NFTs can also be assigned to ships and sent on missions to earn rewards. There are two more NFT collections that will also be released by the GalFi team: Crew NFTs and Specialist NFTs. More external NFT collections will be integrated later through partnerships that will benefit both the GalFi community and the participating NFT project community. **GalFi Crew NFTs** GalFi Crew NFTs are a collection of 10,000 NFTs. All players who purchase a Planet or Asteroid will receive 1 free Crew NFT, and they will be affordably priced so anyone can have the crew they need to run missions and earn daily staking rewards. More Crew NFTs will be minted if there is demand for it. There will be 4 different rarities: common, uncommon, rare, and legendary. Daily soft staking rewards from Crew NFTs are below: Daily GALFI earnings: 1 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0 Daily AMRIT earnings: 0 Daily TETRA earnings: 0.5 Crew NFTs can also gain experience and level up. Higher levels of NFTs earn more from soft staking and missions, and will command a higher value on the marketplace. **GalFi Specialist NFTs:** The GalFi Specialist NFTs will be a collection of 10,000 NFTs that have 29 different specializations ranging from Pilot to Explorer, Miner, Artist, Astroengineer and many more. These specialists will offer unique bonuses and rewards, as well as different daily staking rewards. Specialists will help you optimise your gameplay and maximise your earnings. There will be 4 different rarities: common, uncommon, rare, and legendary. Specialist NFTs can also gain experience and level up. Higher levels of NFTs earn more from soft staking and missions, and will command a higher value on the marketplace. Early Adopter Rewards: Daily soft staking rewards (especially for GALFI token), will decrease in future economic updates, rewarding early adopters. *** **The 17 Supported Existing NFT Collections:** **Genesis Galactic Apes** **Opensea link:** Daily GALFI earnings: 4 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: 1 **Galactic Apes** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Galactic Monkes** **Opensea link**: ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Star Wolves Genesis** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 4 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: 1 **Star Wolvez Generative** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Dystopunks** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Dystopunks OG** **Opensea link:** Daily GALFI earnings: 4 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: 1 **Leg1on** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Space Yetis** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Aavegotchi** **Opensea link**: ; Daily GALFI earnings: 3 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 0.5 Daily TETRA earnings: 0.5 **Cryptopunks** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 10 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.1 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: 1 **Mutant Kongz** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 3 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Gorilla Nemesis** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Forgotten Runes Wizards** **Opensea link**: ; Daily GALFI earnings: 3 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: 0.5 **Save The Martians** **Opensea link:** ; Daily GALFI earnings: 2 Daily GFORE earnings: 1 Daily GFMNR earnings: 1 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: None Daily TETRA earnings: None **Degenasaurs** **Opensea link**: Daily GALFI earnings: 4 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: None **Neo Tokyo Citizens** **Opensea link**: ; Daily GALFI earnings: 4 Daily GFORE earnings: 2 Daily GFMNR earnings: 2 Daily HYPER earnings: 0.01 Daily AMRIT earnings: 1 Daily TETRA earnings: 1 *** **Missions** There are 4 different types of missions Ships and Crew NFTs can be sent on: Mining, Exploration, Combat, and Social. Different mission types generate different token rewards including rare and hard to find tokens. Larger ships hold more NFTs which dramatically increases mission earnings. To send a ship on a mission you must assign Crew NFTs to the ship. Many different NFT collections are supported, as well as Crew and Specialist NFTs created by the GalFi project specifically to act as crew. Ships and NFTs can be sent on missions for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days and 28 days. The longer missions generate more rewards, however the shorter missions proportionally generate more rewards; thus players who send their crews on more frequent missions are rewarded more. This caters both to players who wish to check on their empire less frequently, and those who wish to maximize their earnings and micro manage all aspects of their gameplay. Types of Missions: * Mining * Exploration * Combat * Social Time Period of Missions: * 30 minutes * 1 hour \[Author Last Name] / GalFi Whitepaper / 51 * 12 hours * 24 hours * 3 days * 7 days * 28 days Ships For Missions: * Fighters for combat missions * Miners for mining missions * Pleasure Yachts for social missions * Explorers for exploration missions * Starter Micro Shuttles can go on any type of mission Mission Rewards: * Mission token rewards will be allocated based on the type of mission, the size of the ship, and the number of NFTs on the mission. Rewards are based on a combination of RNG and adding up all the bonuses from ships and NFTs In later updates mini games and many more aspects of missions will be introduced. *** **Referral Program** As part of its comprehensive marketing strategy, GalFi has a generous referral program to reward those who help grow the GalFi universe. For one year from when the referral signs up, player’s receive 1% of their referrals earnings from buildings, missions, and staking - in the 15 different currencies. The referral program adds the currencies to the players balance automatically every 24 hours. There is a dashboard where players can see the number of referred players they have, and how much they have earned every day in referral commissions since they started earning commissions. The referral program is a way for anyone to substantially increase their earnings and standing in the game while contributing to the growth of GalFi. As well as growing the game, it allows those with less starting capital to expand the growth of their empire. *** **Contested Space and Combat** Contested Space will be released in Q4 2024. Contested Space will be a star map of 1024 different planetary systems - the number of planetary systems may be increased before launch if there is demand for it. Players can explore and use Colony Ships to colonise planets in Contested Space. Buildings can be constructed on these planets like usual, however in Contested Space planets can be attacked and invaded by other players. If a player manages to invade a planet they take control of the planet and all of its buildings from the defeated player. Invading a planet will take days, and both sides may bring reinforcements to the battle. It is important to note that normal Planet and Asteroid NFTs will be in the “safe zone”, and cannot be invaded. Only planetary systems in the Contested Space star map may be colonised with Colony Ships, and invaded by other players. Turn based ship to ship combat will also be possible; grand fleets will engage in dramatic combat that will take days. Ships can also be permanently destroyed in Contested Space. Contested Space is a dangerous place: it is envisaged that Contested Space will result in many struggles for power, and emergent gameplay and alliances will form. *** **Technical Briefing** GalFi has been designed to provide a seamless gaming experience and to be as easy to play as possible: most gameplay takes place instantly off-chain while all assets and tokens are secure and on-chain. Comprehensive tutorials about how to use metamask, sign transactions, buy NFTs, and trade tokens will also be provided. GalFi utilises both Ethereum mainnet and Polygon L2; all 15 game tokens also exist on both chains and can be bridged between them. This means players that want to save gas fees can use Matic, while those more familiar with Ethereum can utilise this more established network. GALFI token is the on-ramp between crypto and the GalFi ecosystem, it will be traded with established tokens like ETH on Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs) on both Ethereum and Polygon. At launch the remaining 14 tokens will be tradeable on GalFi’s internal DEX, later they will also be available for DEX trading on both Ethereum and Polygon. The GalFi Nexus NFT marketplace is on-chain; players buy Planets, Asteroids, and Crew NFTs on chain with ETH or Matic. NFTs are sold directly by GalFi, and can then also be resold by players to each other on the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace. Player constructed Ships are also NFTs that will need to claimed with a transaction, and can also be traded on the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace. Certain Ships will command high prices. To save gas all GalFi NFTs are on the Polygon network. Buildings and building upgrades are purchased without a transaction off-chain, however if the player’s balance in-game is not enough to purchase the building, the game will prompt the player to pay for the transaction from their metamask wallet. Planet and Asteroid NFTs contain \[Author Last Name] / GalFi Whitepaper / 55 metadata about the number of buildings and their level on the Planet and Asteroid; this means well developed Planets will command a very high premium on the NFT marketplace. Player balances of all 15 tokens generated from missions, soft staking, and buildings will also accumulate off-chain in the game wallet; players will need to claim these tokens to their Metamask wallet when they wish to have their tokens on-chain. Through its hybrid model of on-chain tokens and NFTs, and off-chain gaming, GalFi utilizes the best of both worlds: NFTs and all assets and tokens are secure and on-chain, while most gameplay is frictionless and does not involve constant transactions and gas fees. *** **Development Timeline** **Phase 1: Landfall (Q2 / Q3 2024)** * 15 tokens representing GalFi resources are minted * Soft Staking of 17 NFT collections for daily GALFI, GFMNR, GFORE, HYPER, TETRA, and AMRIT rewards * GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace created * Micro Shuttle Starter Ships NFTs created * Mining, Exploration, Social, and Combat missions created * Planets and Asteroids NFTs created * Buildings created * Remaining 21 Ships and Mechs NFTs created * 10K Crew NFTs created with XP points system Phase 2: Reinforcements (Q3 2024) * 10K Specialist NFTs created with XP points system Phase 3: Colonization (Q4 2024) * Colony Ships created * 1024 system star map created so people can start colonizing Planets and Asteroids in Contested Space * Random events for exploration in Contested Space created * PVP rules introduced for ship battles and for invading other people’s colonies (in Contested Space only, NFT Planets and Asteroids in the Safe Zone will always be safe. **Phase 2: Mission Control (Q4 2024 / Q1 2025)** * Random events on missions * More complicated mini games on missions Phase 5: Deep Future (Q4 2024 / 2025 Onwards) * New uses for all 15 GalFi tokens in-game, new buildings, and new ships may be released in coming updates * More existing NFT collections added through partnerships with these NFT projects, facilitating further growth and awareness of GalFi * Bounties will be offered to those who help build out the GalFi Metaverse, and provide further utility for GalFi tokenized resources and NFTs * GalFi Metaverse may continue to be built out in new and surprising ways **Marketing Strategy** The GalFi team has a comprehensive marketing strategy to ensure the success and longevity of the project: * Referral Program: participants earn 1% of referred players earned resources daily, for one year. Not only a good source of income for those who share their link; it will also greatly contribute to the growth of the game. * Marketing Fund: 10% of ETH from all planet and asteroid NFT sales goes into a marketing fund to pay for PR, banner ads, and more. * Token Marketing Fund: 5% of total token supply for each currency also goes into a marketing fund to provide bounties and rewards for marketing activities. * PR: Partnerships with the best in the industry to have the game published on many major crypto websites and crypto gaming / play to earn websites. * NFT Partnerships: addition of new NFT collections and new partnerships with communities will be founded as a result. The NFTs supported from the start will also bring in many players from their respective communities. * Banner Ads: some banner ads will also be run to promote the game. * Trading fund: 5% of all total token supply for each currency goes into a market making fund; these funds will be used to establish marketplaces on DEXs *** **The GalFi Nexus** A secretive group known as The Guardians had been protecting highly advanced AI tech for thousands of years. Many gave their lives for their sacred mission. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, to try and restore order in the galaxy The Guardians created the GalFi Nexus: a hyperintelligent AI to oversee all technology, all trade, and all resource distribution in the galaxy. Under the ever watchful and omniscient GalFi Nexus AI, humanity and their uplifted ape brethren could begin again on their quest to regain their former glory. Will you help them? The GalFi Nexus is at the core of the GalFi ecosystem, it has a number of important functions: It is the main game wallet: when players claim their earned resources and tokens on-chain they are claiming them from the GalFi Nexus game wallet. Likewise the GalFi Nexus also receives funds: whenever players purchase buildings and ships these funds return to the GalFi Nexus. Players can also stake their tokens in the GalFi Nexus and receive a share of 1% of all the funds flowing into the GalFi Nexus wallet from player purchases in-game. The GalFi Nexus also hosts the GalFi Nexus NFT Marketplace on-chain where players trade Crew, Planet, Asteroid, and Ship NFTs. The 1% trading fee paid for by sellers also flows into the GalFi Nexus game wallet. Any Ethereum and Matic in the Nexus wallet from marketplace fees will periodically be used to buy resource tokens from DEXs to provide some stabilization to the markets. Early Adopter Rewards: For the sustainability of the game and to ensure the tokens remain valuable, GalFi Nexus token rewards from buildings, missions, and soft staking will be reduced over time. The full schedule is yet to be finalized as it depends on the game economy and the number of players. This means early adopters will be rewarded with the highest earnings. 60 possible from buildings, ships, and missions. The first economic rebalancing will take place 90 days after launch. Every 90 days thereafter the game economy will be reviewed and adjusted as needed. GALFI earnings and mission rewards are especially expected to reduce over time. Ships may also become more expensive in later economic updates. Note: GALFI rewards from buildings, soft staking, and missions will definitely be reduced over time, rewarding early adopters. The GalFi Nexus may initiate the GalFi Nexus Protocol. The Protocol adjusts the token output from staking, missions, and buildings for the longevity of the game and the galactic economy. This will always occur with at least a 2 week notice. If the Protocol is enacted this is a positive development for the game; it means the game has many thousands of players and the value of the tokenized resources should have increased considerably. It is always wise to have considerable stockpiles of resources in reserve to take advantage of any opportunities as a result of any GalFi Nexus Protocol that may be initiated. As the focal point of the game the GalFi Nexus has been carefully designed to ensure the longevity and sustainability of the galactic economic simulation. *** **Deep Future** In future, the GalFi ecosystem and Metaverse will continue to evolve. GalFi’s simulation provides a framework that encourages emergent gameplay, and we expect the game to evolve in surprising ways. Bounties will be offered to those who help build out the GalFi Metaverse and provide further utility for GalFi’s tokenized resources and NFTs. GalFi is a foundational framework, and the tokens may find more utility across the cryptosphere. Games, resources, and experiences that interact with and build on GalFi’s infrastructure, and utilise GalFi’s tokens and NFTs, will be eligible for bounties. New uses for all 15 GalFi tokens in-game, new buildings, and new ships may also be released in coming updates. GalFi is truly a galaxy of limitless possibilities. *** **Summary** GalFi has been designed as the only 4X space strategy game existing in the play-to-earn space to date. It is the ultimate galactic economic simulation where players steadily grow their empire and their earnings. The game is fully playable at launch, there is no waiting for key game features or for the game to release. Manage your galactic empire and watch your asset base and real crypto earnings grow day by day. We look forward to being surprised by the emergent gameplay that GalFi’s framework encourages. Early adopters will also earn more GALFI tokens than those that join the game at a later date. Most importantly, we look forward to seeing you helping to rebuild the galaxy, and forging your unique path to riches amongst the stars.
