After P2A and the genesis of the ISLAND token, players will be able to earn ISLAND live in-game! This means Blooms earned will result in a user accumulating ISLAND tokens, claimable every 10 days.* While P2A and its long rewards cycle was an effective paradigm for testing and iterating on Nifty Island with our early community, live token earnings are essential for long term growth.
Our goal is to establish a simple and fair system that motivates players to engage with Nifty Island, while keeping the inflation inherent in token rewards predictable and minimal.
Finally, by making earning more convenient and significant for existing holders of Legendary Palms and ISLAND tokens, we can reward loyalty and encourage new participants to hold onto the tokens they earn, thereby joining our community.
Post-Token Generation Event (TGE), players will have access to an ISLAND Rewards Dashboard within the Nifty Island web app. From this dashboard, users can view and claim their earned ISLAND airdrop. In addition, players will have the option to stake ISLAND, which will raise their Island Power Level (IPL), granting them an enhanced ability to earn in-game ISLAND rewards.
Each reward period, ISLAND tokens will be distributed to players and creators based on their Bloom earnings. Players earn Blooms by participating in a variety of activities within Nifty Island, including playing, hosting players on their island, and completing quests. Blooms earned will translate into ISLAND tokens at a dynamic rate, visible to the player on the Rewards Dashboard.
A fixed ISLAND reward pool will be distributed on a periodic basis (*every 10 days, though this interval may be subject to change). This structure ensures that the amount of ISLAND distributed from the Rewards Pool during each period remains controlled, preventing excessive token supply inflation while maintaining a dynamic and fair reward system.
A player’s Earning Power is positively impacted by their staked ISLAND and Legendary Palm holdings but in two distinct ways.
Legendary Palms: The larger and higher-tier your aggregate Legendary Palm holdings, the greater the maximum amount of ISLAND you can earn during each Rewards Cycle. Higher-tier Palms contribute more to a player’s Palm Points total, directly boosting their maximum possible ISLAND earnings.
Staked ISLAND: By staking ISLAND, players can further increase their Earning Power. The more ISLAND you stake, the higher your Blooms-to-ISLAND rate, enabling you to earn faster until your maximum earnings have been reached for that Rewards Cycle.
In addition to the base rewards, special contributions to the ecosystem—such as creating top quests or other high-impact content—may result in bonus ISLAND rewards.
In particular, we are excited to incentivize players who create highly engaging quests that drive engagement on the platform.
Given ISLAND token’s finite supply, it is not sustainable to distribute it to players indefinitely. That said, we recognize that a key advantage of web3 gaming is the ability to offer rewarding and compelling prizes.
Over time, we will gradually taper off ISLAND token rewards, replacing their appeal with more inherently fun gameplay and compelling prize systems. For example, quests are designed to feature prizes provided by third parties. In the long run, externally sourced rewards are the only sustainable solution. While we can’t share all the details yet, making Nifty Island a hub for other projects to distribute rewards is a key focus for the platform’s future.
