Currency

Planned to have two denominators with different value and a conversion rate.

Perhaps a fixed total amount on the platform, with the root Freeblox account acting as the reserve holder.

Denominators can be exchanged, currency can be transacted between players and exchanged for goods in the store.

Currency whole

A larger currency denominator.

Will be rewarded to players:

  • Log in every day of the week (1 u)
  • Featured game (5 u)
  • Top game of the day (1 u)

Currency fragment

A smaller currency denominator.

Will be rewarded to players:

  • Daily login bonus (10 u)
  • Game visit bonus: 10 u per visit of at least 5 min.

Voting

All user-created content on the site can be voted on after owning, playing.

Commenting

All user-created content on the site have a comment section.
