Funtico ecosystem features # Platform Rank Progression (/funtico-litepaper/overview/welcome-to-the-funtico-universe/funtico-as-an-ecosystem/platform-rank-progression) Platform Ranks *Platform Ranks* Aside from regular progress within games, players on the Funtico platform will gain Platform Rank as they engage through platform activities. Users ascend in rank by amassing "XP points" as they progress within Funtico. These points are earned through various means, including daily logins, active participation in platform activities, tournaments. Additionally, users have the opportunity to gather further XP points by unlocking capsules and scratch cards. Inviting others to join the Funtico platform or undertaking special promotional quests also yields XP points. As users level up through the Platform Ranks, they unlock exclusive rewards tailored to their achievements and dedication within the ecosystem. Rank & Progression *Rank & Progression* Player rank has account-bound lifetime progression and seasonal progression. My Rank is a permanent progression of the user through the Funtico Platform and Games. Season progression refers to special time-limited promo periods where users can claim rewards for a specific period. # Activity Points and Multipliers (/funtico-litepaper/overview/welcome-to-the-funtico-universe/funtico-as-an-ecosystem/rewards-and-retention/activity-points-and-multipliers) ### Activity Points and Multipliers [#activity-points-and-multipliers] *The $TICO Bucket* **Activity Points (APs)** are a way to quantify a player’s engagement and achievements within the platform ecosystem. As a player participates in tournament games, quests, or engages in various ways within the platform, they earn APs. Every period of time (weekly, monthly) the balance of APs a player earned will entitle them to rewards. The calculation of such reward will be on a pro rata basis. After each allocation the APs will be reset to zero and the $TICO Bucket will begin to accumulate them once again. The Multiplier enables a user of the platform to boost received AP according to the equation: **Multiplier \* APs awarded = User AP gained** The Community Activity Points Balance (CAB) is the combined total amount of APs from the eligible users. Bucket Allocation Equation (“BAE”) formula will serve to calculate the amount of rewards each platform users will get for a specific period of time. > **(User’s Points/CAB) \* Bucket Total = Reward to user** Here is an example: Activity Points reward calculation example Multipliers (Hypothesis) *Multipliers (Hypothesis)* Multipliers (Conclusion) *Multipliers (Conclusion)* If a player has **multiple NFTs**, he can chose to use any of them, but only one at a time. **The multipliers do not stack!** Holders of the NFTs, might be able to d**elegate their multiplier NFT rights** to another community members (a registered player), using a process that would be later announced by the Funtico Team. *Note: Funtico serves the right to have the rewards mechanism based on any reward including $TICOs (Funtico’s utility token)*

This pool of $TICO fills up gradually to a semi-randomized point… users know that the jackpot will distribute eventually, but may not be able to tell exactly when. When a randomized process determines that it’s time to distribute The Jackpot, the ENTIRE Jackpot will be distributed to one individual. The winning player may be decided randomly from all active players on the platform, or may be determined from Jackpot Tickets given out to players based on their activity in Funtico games. In either case, Jackpots are intended to be all for one player and based on overall gameplay activity rather than APs, like the $TICO Bucket. Jackpots will distribute regularly, and one will begin filling once the previous has been distributed. # The Summoners NFT Collection (/funtico-litepaper/overview/welcome-to-the-funtico-universe/funtico-as-an-ecosystem/rewards-and-retention/the-summoners-nft-collection) The Summoners NFT Collection *The Summoners NFT Collection* The first ever NFT mint organized by Funtico and created for the OGs and early believers, **The Necromancer** (part of **The Summoners Collection)**, was designed to not only give unique perks to the early holders, but also to bring together different community-partners, such as Avalanche, Steady, Lazy Lions, Chikn, Dokkaebi, CozyVerse, Mars Cats, Dokyo or Yeet.
