4.1.3 Play-to-Earn (P2E) Mechanics

AI MONSTER implements a robust P2E model that rewards players for various activities:

1. Combat Rewards

2. Earn tokens for defeating AI monsters or other players

3. Bonus rewards for exceptional performance or defeating rare monsters

4. Capture and Training

5. Rewards for successfully capturing wild AI monsters

6. Incentives for training and evolving monsters to higher levels

7. Trading and Marketplace

8. Earn commissions from monster trades in the marketplace

9. Rewards for providing liquidity to trading pools

10. Content Creation

11. Incentives for creating popular monster designs

12. Rewards for contributing to the AI training data

Example: P2E Reward Distribution

class P2ERewardSystem {
  constructor(player, actionType, actionData) {
    this.player = player;
    this.actionType = actionType;
    this.actionData = actionData;
  }

  async distributeRewards() {
    const baseReward = this.calculateBaseReward();
    const bonusReward = await this.calculateBonusReward();
    const totalReward = baseReward + bonusReward;

    await this.mintRewardTokens(totalReward);
    this.updatePlayerStats(totalReward);

    return totalReward;
  }

  calculateBaseReward() {
    const rewardRates = {
      combat: 10,
      capture: 20,
      trade: 5,
      training: 15
    };
    return rewardRates[this.actionType] || 0;
  }

  async calculateBonusReward() {
    // Complex bonus calculation, potentially using AI to assess performance
    const response = await fetch('https://ai.monster.api/calculate-bonus', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        actionType: this.actionType,
        actionData: this.actionData,
        playerHistory: this.player.recentActions
      }),
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
    });
    const { bonusReward } = await response.json();
    return bonusReward;
  }

  async mintRewardTokens(amount) {
    // Interact with blockchain to mint and transfer tokens
    const transaction = await tokenContract.methods.mintAndTransfer(
      this.player.walletAddress,
      amount
    ).send({ from: gameWalletAddress });
    console.log(`Minted ${amount} tokens to ${this.player.walletAddress}`);
    return transaction;
  }

  updatePlayerStats(rewardAmount) {
    this.player.totalEarnings += rewardAmount;
    this.player.recentActions.push({
      type: this.actionType,
      reward: rewardAmount,
      timestamp: Date.now()
    });
  }
}

// Usage
const rewardSystem = new P2ERewardSystem(currentPlayer, 'combat', combatResult);
const rewardAmount = await rewardSystem.distributeRewards();
console.log(`Player earned ${rewardAmount} tokens`);

This example demonstrates a P2E reward system that calculates and distributes rewards based on player actions, incorporating both base rates and AI-calculated bonuses.
