War Bond System
War Bonds are the competitive "loyalty points" of the BattleGrid arena. Unlike cash prizes which are won and settled instantly per game, War Bonds accumulate over a weekly cycle and determine your leaderboard ranking for the community treasury.
The War Bond system solves a simple problem: Consistency should be rewarded. Even if you don't win 1st place in a single game, playing well and playing often earns you tickets to the weekly main event.
How It Works
- Play Games: Every Market Grid session earns you War Bonds.
- Score Points: You earn bonds based on 6 Performance Categories.
- Weekly Pot: 5% of every entry fee paid on the platform goes into the War Bond Treasury.
- Sunday Settlement: At the end of the week (Sunday 00:00 UTC), the treasury is distributed.
6 Ways to Earn War Bonds
You earn War Bonds in 6 different categories after each game:
1. Correct Selections
- 25 Bonds per correct directional prediction.
- Max: 225 Bonds (9/9 Correct)
2. Captain Best Performer (Market Grid Only)
If your chosen Captain has the highest absolute volatility (% change) among your 9 cards, you earn a flat bonus.
- Bonus: 100 Bonds
- Note: Your captain just needs to move the most, even if your direction prediction is wrong.
3. Accuracy Threshold
Rewarded for high-accuracy play (50% or better).
- 50-59%: 50 Bonds
- 60-69%: 60 Bonds
- 70-79%: 70 Bonds
- It scales up to 100 Bonds for 100% accuracy.
4. Rank Position
Top 10 players in any lobby earn rank bonuses.
- 1st Place: 100 Bonds
- 2nd Place: 90 Bonds
- 10th Place: 10 Bonds
5. Podium Streak
Maintain a "Hot Streak" of Top 3 finishes in consecutive games.
- 2nd Consecutive Podium: Earns 100 (1st), 75 (2nd), or 50 (3rd) Bonds respectively.
- Streaks reset if you finish outside the top 3.
6. Play Streak
Simply showing up matters.
- Played Yesterday (UTC)?: +25 Bonds
Weekly Distribution (The Hybrid Model)
The War Bond Treasury is split 50/50 between Guaranteed and Lottery.
A. The Guaranteed Pool (50%)
This half is shared exclusively by the Top 3 War Bond Holders of the week. You climb the cycle leaderboard by earning as many bonds as possible.
B. The Lottery Pool (50%)
This half is raffled off to 10 Random Winners.
- 1 War Bond = 1 Lottery Ticket.
- The more you play, the higher your chances.
- Even a casual player with 100 bonds can win big. Note: Top 3 winners are excluded from the lottery.
Settlement Time: The cycle resets every Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Winners are paid out instantly to their BattleGrid wallet.
