Hello friends, today I will be talking about Moonkarts, a racing game that offers a racing experience with cars called "karts", which presents a unique touch of fun in the classic style that we can commonly see in the "Arcade" type games, with the innovation of Web3 technology, this allows players to enjoy strategic races and, at the same time, actively participate in a tangible game economy with a very good earning potential if we learn all the details of it, also, as a splinterlands player, it has caught my attention, so if you still know, in the game you will find a very good earning potential if you learn all the details of it, actively participate in a tangible game economy with a very good earning potential if we learn all the details of it, also, as a splinterlands player, it has caught my attention, so, if you don't know yet, in this post I will be sharing a basic guide about the game, although, if something I write is wrong, please let me know in the comments, as I am also learning about the game haha.
Moonkarts is a 3D kart racing game that combines speed and strategy with blockchain technology, operating under a "Play-To-Earn" (P2E) model, developed with the Unity engine which offers single player and multiplayer modes where you can play (up to six players), which I find amazing, a full competition with more players is super attractive and fun, plus, all in a "space arcade-like environment, on the other hand, its connection with @splinterlands, gives it credibility and experience in token economies and NFTs.
The winning system in Moonkarts is based on a formula that considers four key factors:
- Player's skill (Essential for rewards).
- Time dedicated to the game (Very important if you want to get the most out of it).
- Quality of the NFTs (cards) used.
- Amount of governance tokens wagered (The governance token is $COLONY).
Seasonal Rewards Pool: A pool of COLONY token rewards is distributed every 10 days based on performance in the rankings.
Referral Program: Earn points and a share of the referral pool (5% of the total token allocation) by inviting new players to spend in the store..
To maximize the rewards in Moon Karts, players must strive to be good at the game, by this I mean that you must win races and dedicate time to it, this in addition to having high quality NFTs in their configurations and participate in the "Staking" of the governance tokens, this is the key, although it does not mean that if you do not have quality NFTs you can not get rewards, so you should not be limited by that, in every game you start from the basics, so do not worry if starting you do not comply with this, little by little you will learn.
Now, moving on, this earnings formula that combines the 4 factors explained above, reveals an economic and sophisticated design, it is not a simple "Pay to win" model, instead, it represents an effort to create an ecosystem where the (skill and playing time) and of course; the financial investment (NFTs and Staking) contribute to the rewards, in any case, having skill is so important that in the beginning it can help you win if you do not have a very strong investment, that is why I previously commented that you start little by little, constancy is also key.
This complexity, or rather the combination of factors discussed above, seeks to foster a more diverse and active player base, which is crucial for the long-term sustainability of a "Web3" game, or at least this is what I believe.

PS: I am not sure about the latter, as I do not own a car yet, this information was extracted by reading some posts.
The performance of your kart includes the following: (Speed, Acceleration, Handling, Health), and also depends on the cards you use, for example: Driver, kart, tech cards, accessories and power-ups. These cards are NFTs that you can merge to level up and improve stats.
Astro Kart (Primary): Basic and balanced for beginners (Speed 70%, Handling 80%).
Astral Karts (LunocityX, Quasar Sport): For more experienced racers, with a focus on speed or durability.
Lunar Kart (Nebula Guard): The elite kart, with high speed and precision.
Common Accessories: Antennas (+1% handling), Wheels (+1% acceleration), Exhaust pipes (+1% speed).
You can upgrade your drivers and parts of your karts to increase your chances of winning, power-ups, such as rockets or shields, are used mid-race to gain strategic advantages while you are playing, these details are important, as they can influence a victory and/or defeat.
Moonkarts includes single player and multiplayer modes, allowing up to six participants and as I said, this is great, as it adds a layer of competition and fun that every game needs, especially if it's a racing one, with this in mind, there are at least three maps available.
Moonkarts offers a unique kart or small car racing experience that fuses fun with the possibility of real rewards thanks to Web3. So, I encourage all players in the "Hive" ecosystem to explore the "Arcade Colony" ecosystem, especially everything related to this amazing game called "MoonKarts".
