As the new season comes, new set of rewards are coming. I hope this post can help you answer those questions you have in mind for the MoonKarts rewards. In Moon Karts™, earning COLONY isn’t random chance—it’s a finely tuned system that rewards skill, strategy, commitment, and smart investment. To truly thrive, you’ll need to excel across four pillars: driving skill, time invested, NFT quality, and staking COLONY governance tokens.
Every day, a fixed stash of COLONY tokens is released into five distinct pools:
- Orbitals Pool (40%) which rewards those who gather in-race “Orbitals” and finish strong
- Ranking Pool (25%), handed out based on your ELO leaderboard position
- On-track COLONY pickups (10%), for grabbing tokens mid-race and holding on
- Referral Pool (5%), rewarding players who bring new spenders into the game
- Seasonal Pool (20%), set aside for consistent top performers over 10‑day cycles
The Seasonal Rewards Pool is especially compelling. It aggregates daily rewards across ten days and distributes them based on leaderboard snapshots, rewarding steady performance—not just flash-and-dash plays.
To win big, you engage through three race-based streams:
- Collecting COLONY mid‑race and finishing with it.
- Climbing the ELO rank in daily and seasonal leaderboards.
- Gathering Orbitals, boosted further by high-quality NFTs (karts, parts, drivers), which grant multipliers.
Beyond racing, the Referral Program offers another path. Share your unique invite link—when new players spend $20+ (in fiat or non-COLONY tokens), you earn points. Those points translate into a slice of the Referral Pool, distributed proportionally—and capped at 0.5% of the total rewards or 10% of the Referral Pool per day. Any leftover tokens roll over to the next day.
Looking ahead, Moon Karts plans to introduce Moon Domes—player-owned race venues that earn their owners 10% of COLONY from each race held within. It’s a forward-thinking feature sure to deepen the game's strategic economy.
