MoonKarts isn’t just a high-octane race—it’s a finely tuned economic engine built for those who master both strategy and skill. At its core, your rewards depend on a powerful mix: gameplay ability, time invested, the quality of your NFTs, and staking of COLONY governance tokens. Fall short on any of these, and you’re leaving earnings on the track.
Each day, Arcade Colony allocates a fixed pool of COLONY tokens to MoonKarts, disbursed across several reward channels: 40% into the Orbitals pool, 25% to ranking performance, 10% scattered directly across the racetrack, 5% reserved for referrals, and 20% cycling into the 10‑day seasonal bonus pool.
The Seasonal Rewards Pool is a testament to consistency—it accumulates for ten days before rewarding racers who climb the leaderboard. Every snapshot rewards strategic, enduring play, not just flash wins.
Earning while racing comes via three lanes: dash through the track and collect COLONY tokens—just don’t drop them before the finish line; outperform rivals in daily and seasonal leaderboards by climbing the ELO-style ranks; and grab Orbitals, mirrored in their own board with multipliers based on the strength of your gear.
You can also earn by rallying others: share a unique invite link. When a referred player spends $20 or more using fiat or non‑COLONY tokens, you earn Referral Points. Each referral counts toward your share of the 5% referral pool, distributed daily based on your share of points. Unclaimed tokens roll over to tomorrow—so the incentive grows the longer it goes. Limits keep things fair: you can’t claim more than either 0.5% of the full reward pool or 10% of the referral pool per day.
Looking ahead, the future brings Moon Domes—player-owned stadiums where any race held within grants the Dome's owner 10% of the tokens distributed in that race.
