In the Stakehouse Den ecosystem—Splinterlands’ Web3 social casino built on Arcade Colony—Hot Sauce isn’t a condiment; it’s a core reward metric that aligns with your gameplay investment.
What Is Hot Sauce?
Hot Sauce is generated when you stake cards and scripts. Each card you stake must be paired with 2 Script tokens, regardless of its level, rarity, or foil. The yield of Hot Sauce depends on several factors:
-
Card level
-
Rarity (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary)
-
Foil type (Regular vs. Gold)
How It’s Calculated
The formula is straightforward:
Hot Sauce Generated = Merge Count × Generation Factor for the Card
- Merge Count reflects how many merges have been done with the card. Higher merges amplify the output.
- Generation Factor depends on rarity, foil, and card level. Regular foil and gold foil each have separate tables mapping level and rarity to generation factors.
For example, a Gold-foil Legendary card at a high level earns far more Hot Sauce per day than a level-1 Common card.
Why Hot Sauce Matters
Hot Sauce is more than just a fancy name—it’s a mechanism that rewards both investment and strategy. By staking better cards and merging them to higher levels, you unlock more steady rewards. It encourages players to keep engaging, upgrading, and optimizing their deck and assets.
