The world of Common Ground World is about to get even more exciting with the release of the brand-new Daily Challenges feature! With this substantial update, players will now have the chance to participate in daily events to unlock rewards in the form of $SOIL, the latest in-game token exclusive to GalaChain. This update brings fresh opportunities for players to explore, compete, and grow their farms while collecting performance-based rewards.
$SOIL will officially launch soon, but for now, you can collect $DIRT, for which $SOIL will automatically be awarded once it is released on GalaChain.
The new Daily Challenges feature is designed to bring an extra layer of excitement and rewards to your farming adventures. Each day, you’ll find a new Daily Challenge in the Events category of the game, where you can participate using your Reward-eligible NFTs (list provided below).
Complete tasks like producing or selling certain crafts before the day ends, and watch as your efforts generate a portion of that day’s available $SOIL rewards!
The amount of $SOIL you collect is based on how much you contribute to the daily pool, which is determined by your performance in Town Points. Players who contribute more Town Points will receive a higher percentage of the $SOIL pool. This competitive structure is sure to keep the game fresh and engaging for everyone.
What Can You Do with $SOIL?
In the same way that healthy soil is an essential ingredient of any effective farm, $SOIL is the key to unlocking unique in-game opportunities. Here’s how it can be used:
Upgrade your NFTs: Use $SOIL to boost the effectiveness of your NFTs, helping you become a more powerful player and giving you a strategic edge in the weekly competitions.
Access premium experiences: Whether it’s unlocking exclusive events or obtaining rare items, $SOIL will be your pass to premium content within Common Ground World.
Get Involved — Even Without NFTs!
Don’t have any reward-eligible NFTs yet? No worries! You can still participate by joining a Guild. Through the Guild Library feature, Guild leaders can lend eligible NFTs to their members, allowing you to participate in the Daily Challenges and even collect rewards!
Connect with other players through the Common Ground World Discord channel to find a Guild and get started.
If you’re looking to pick up your own reward-eligible NFTs, stay tuned—more will be available in the Gala Games Store soon!
A Look Ahead: The $SOIL Token Launch
While the $SOIL token is set to become the primary reward for Daily Challenges, the rollout will be carefully monitored. Initially, players will receive DIRT instead of $SOIL to ensure that the system runs smoothly without exploitation. Once stability is ensured, the transition to $SOIL will occur, so keep an eye out for that exciting change!
Get Ready for Daily Challenges!
We hope you’re all excited to dive into Common Ground World’s Daily Challenges, with something new to pursue each and every day! Whether you’re competing for the largest share of $SOIL or working with your Guild to achieve farming greatness, this update promises endless fun and rewarding gameplay.
The latest feature in Treasure Tapper might have some of you sweating, but if you’ve been paying attention to the game lately, you had an idea that it was coming.
Your in-game coin balance might not be safe anymore 😨 Get ready for STEALING!
With this newest game feature, your coins are up-for-grabs to aspiring Treasure Tapper thieves, at least the ones you don’t store safely in your VAULT.
When players activate the STEAL command, they’ll have an opportunity to steal some vulnerable coinage from up to 4 random players.
How It Works
Use a Steal Token to begin the Stealing process, and you’ll be presented with 4 potential unsuspecting players who are holding various amounts of unvaulted coinage. Based on their level and the amount of vulnerable coins they hold, you’ll see different success rates for each of these potential targets. Basically, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
For example, if potential victim A has a huge pile of unprotected coins, you might be given a 40% chance to steal 10,000 coins from them.
On the other hand, stealing from potential victim B might give you an 80% success rate to steal 1000 coins – Not as many coins but a higher chance of success.
Steal Tokens
Use your Steal Tokens wisely – they don’t grow on trees! They’ll recharge regularly but you’ll never have as many as you want, so make the most of them.
Steal Fee
Stealing ain’t free! When you successfully make a steal, a fee will be automatically deducted from your loot and burned from the total coin supply! You don’t need to concern yourself with the economic details at this point… You got away with it!
Protect Against Revenge
What is it they say about people in glass houses? Oh yeah! They shouldn’t steal coins!
Basically, be sure that your coins are safe in your vault before going on a stealing spree, because each of your targets will have an opportunity to come back at your for REVENGE!
In fact, if they initiate the Revenge attack within the limited-time window, they’ll have an even better success chance than you did when you came after their coins in the first place!
Level Up Your Vault
Stealing is here to add a new dimension of cutthroat strategy to your Treasure Tapper experience, so get ready. Don’t forget to spend your coins wisely on upgrades, especially to your Vault, where you can protect coins from thieves.
We hope you love this new feature and have a great time stealing from your fellow tappers!
Remember, it’s all about the $TREZ, coming soon in its first Seasonal distro. More details about $TREZ are available in the Litepaper.
Yield farming is a popular concept in decentralized finance (DeFi) that allows users to get rewards by lending or staking cryptocurrency on a blockchain-based platform. The idea is straightforward: you deposit your digital assets into a decentralized application (DApp) or liquidity pool, and in return, the platform rewards you with additional tokens. It’s similar to the way interest can be earned on the money held in a savings account.
Yield farming helps decentralized platforms by providing liquidity, which is essential for these platforms to function smoothly. The less liquid a digital asset is, the more difficult it becomes to buy or sell that asset, resulting in the potential for extreme price volatility. In exchange for contributing to an asset’s liquidity, users receive rewards, which vary depending on the platform and the type of assets staked.
How Does Yield Farming Work?
Let’s compare yield farming to a community garden. Imagine you’re growing plants in a shared garden where everyone contributes seeds (digital assets). As the plants grow, the garden yields fruits (rewards), which are shared among all contributors based on how much they’ve contributed.
Yield farming works in a similar way: Users provide liquidity to decentralized platforms, and the platform distributes rewards proportionate to each user’s contribution.
Here’s how it typically works step by step for the user:
Provide Liquidity: You deposit your cryptocurrency into a liquidity pool on a DeFi platform. These liquidity pools are essential for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and other financial services to operate without a traditional intermediary.
Collect Rewards: In return for providing liquidity, you earn rewards, often in the form of the platform’s native token or other assets. The more liquidity you provide, the more rewards you can earn. These rewards are typically accumulated over time from the transactional fees charged to those who trade on the platform.
Stake or Claim: Some platforms allow users to stake their reward tokens in additional liquidity pools to compound their rewards, while others simply let you claim the rewards directly.
What is a Liquidity Pool?
A liquidity pool is a collection of funds locked into a smart contract. These funds are used to facilitate trading on decentralized exchanges or to support lending and borrowing activities on DeFi platforms. By contributing to a liquidity pool, you help ensure there is enough liquidity for users to trade or borrow assets, making the entire platform more efficient.
A basic liquidity pool involves an exchange pairing between 2 different tokens. When initially providing liquidity, the provider would stake equal value parts of each token, ensuring that they have added liquidity to that pairing equal to the value they have contributed.
Why is Yield Farming Important in DeFi?
Yield farming plays a crucial role in the decentralized finance ecosystem. It ensures that there is enough liquidity for decentralized exchanges and lending platforms to function smoothly without needing centralized control. Large privately owned exchanges provide the liquidity themselves, keeping enough value to back the trade activity for all their exchange pairings.
The decentralized approach empowers users by enabling them to get rewarded while contribute to the ecosystem, without relying on traditional financial intermediaries, such as banks.
Here are some key reasons why yield farming is important:
Liquidity Provision: Without yield farmers, DeFi platforms would struggle to have enough liquidity for trades, loans and other financial operations. Yield farmers ensure there’s always enough liquidity in the system.
Reward Incentives: Yield farming provides an attractive way for users to get rewards by simply holding and staking their digital assets, often far more than traditional savings accounts.
Decentralized Control and Anonymity: By participating in yield farming, users help maintain a decentralized system, keeping control in the hands of the community rather than centralized entities.
Risks of Yield Farming
While yield farming can offer high rewards, it also comes with certain risks. Here are some of the main concerns to be aware of:
Impermanent Loss: When you provide liquidity to a pool, you might experience impermanent loss. This happens when the price of the assets you’ve deposited changes compared to when you added them. If the price moves significantly, your potential rewards could be reduced. There is no guarantee that the value of the liquidity you have provided will hold steady.
Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Yield farming relies on smart contracts, which are pieces of code that automatically execute transactions. If there’s a bug or vulnerability in the smart contract, it could result in loss of funds.
Platform Risk: Not all DeFi platforms are created equal. Some may have weaker security measures or be more prone to hacks and exploits. It’s important to research the platform you’re using before depositing assets.
Popular Platforms for Yield Farming
There are several popular DeFi platforms where users can participate in yield farming. Here are a few:
Uniswap: One of the largest decentralized exchanges where users can provide liquidity to earn rewards.
Aave: A DeFi lending platform where users can deposit assets into liquidity pools and earn rewards through lending.
Compound: Another popular lending platform where users can earn rewards by lending out their assets.
Each of these platforms operates slightly differently, but they all provide opportunities for users to stake or lend their assets and earn rewards.
Yield Farming in Action: An Example
Let’s break down a simple example of yield farming in action:
You decide to stake some of your digital assets (for instance, Ethereum) on a platform like Uniswap.
You deposit these assets into a liquidity pool for a specific trading pair, such as ETH/USDC (Ethereum and USD Coin).
As people trade between ETH and USDC on the platform, they pay small fees, which are distributed proportionally to all the liquidity providers in the pool.
In addition to these fees, you may also earn rewards in the form of the platform’s native tokens.
Over time, the rewards accumulate, and you can choose to reinvest them or withdraw them.
Yield farming is often a valid option for long term holders of well established cryptocurrencies who would like to generate passive rewards from their holdings. However, it is always important to do extensive research before making the decision to provide liquidity or get into yield farming. Not all dApps and platforms are created equally.
