Moon Tropica is an open-world game designed to evoke nostalgia, blending elements of community, crypto culture, and current events. Players explore islands, complete quests, solve puzzles, and navigate dungeons. They can acquire digital real estate, craft items, upgrade weapons, and establish businesses for monetization. The in-game currency, $CAH, is used to buy and sell metaverse assets. ^[1]

Overview

Moon Tropica offers a virtual world that combines a realistic in-game economy, nostalgic game design, and elements of crypto events. Players can build, own, and monetize their experiences using various strategies within a multi-chain infrastructure powered by the native utility token, "CAH." The platform incorporates NFTs for asset ownership, limits supply to balance the ecosystem, and rewards participation with its utility token. Its evolving storylines, influenced by crypto culture, provide fresh content and engaging experiences for the community weekly. ^[2] 

Moon Tropica follows an open and transparent development model involving community feedback to adjust and improve its ecosystem. The approach encourages collaboration, inviting participants to join the development process through trust and shared goals. Feedback from the community will guide the direction of the platform as it evolves, ensuring that the game is built with input from users, enthusiasts, and supporters. ^[2]

The platform targets two key demographics: nostalgic gamers seeking familiar yet evolving gameplay experiences and crypto enthusiasts interested in a play-to-earn (P2E) system. The game features an immersive environment where players can unlock customizations and new features as they progress. The in-game economy mirrors real-world supply and demand, with players able to craft and sell items as NFTs using the "CAH" token. Governance allows the community to vote on specific parameters, balancing the needs of all participants. ^[2]

Gameplay

Moon Tropica delivers a phased gaming experience to build a strong, evolving foundation. The platform ensures continuous growth by gradually introducing features and refining gameplay mechanics to match market trends. The game initially focuses on providing liquidity for its native token, "CAH," enabling players to engage in transactions and store digital assets, with expanding interactions as the game world grows. With an emphasis on appealing to a wide range of audiences, from RPG enthusiasts to crypto users and play-to-earn participants, Moon Tropica aims to be a competitive blockchain-based alternative to traditional gaming platforms, with immersive graphics and engaging gameplay. ^[3]

The game's social and adventure elements are central to its design. Moon Tropica encourages players to connect, form guilds, and collaborate on in-game objectives, creating a dynamic community atmosphere. Players can explore diverse terrains, solve puzzles, and engage in strategic battles, with the chance to discover hidden rewards that enhance gameplay. Crafting and trading items add another layer of interaction, while user-owned land offers opportunities for collaboration and business creation, further enriching the ecosystem and fostering community-driven growth. ^[3]

PvP

Moon Tropica introduces a PvP match mode where players can wager CAH or NFTs in battles. Players can challenge opponents in the arena or the open world, with the option to size up potential opponents beforehand. A fee is applied to all wagers, with the proceeds distributed to the foundation and stakers through governance. Players can also challenge each other for specific items, proposing a wager to decide who keeps the item or currency. ^[2][4]

For players struggling to win, a bounty system allows players to set a bounty on an opponent, with the winner claiming the full prize. The bounty target has 48 hours to accept the challenge. The system also features leaderboards highlighting the top 100 players, with the top 5 earning unique modifier NFTs, which can enhance rewards in staking pools or be used in future battles or sold in the marketplace. ^[2][4]

Real Estate

Owning land in Moon Tropica allows players to control and customize a map section. Landowners can create businesses, museums, restaurants, or other custom features with numerous opportunities for monetization. The location of the land affects its cost and potential for value appreciation, mirroring real-world market trends. Owning a well-placed plot can attract attention and increase the value of the surrounding land. Sponsored land parcels from companies or celebrities may also be part of the landscape. ^[2]

Customization

Moon Tropica offers extensive customization options, allowing players to tailor their in-game experience based on their preferences and goals. A range of customization tools will be available to those who own specific NFTs, enabling the modification of attire, appearance, weapons, consumables, vehicles, land, real estate, and sidekicks. Players can upgrade and personalize these items through crafting, leveling up, or altering their appearance. The customization features extend to different terrains, allowing players to modify land topography, build structures, and optimize farming conditions. Sidekicks can also be leveled up and personalized to enhance their effectiveness in gameplay. ^[2]

NFTs

Moon Tropica incorporates NFTs into its ecosystem, offering a marketplace shaped by community involvement and creativity. All consumables, items, weapons, attire, and other elements within the game are NFTs. Players acquire these items by defeating bosses, discovering special chests, or crafting their items using harvested materials. The value of each NFT is determined by supply and demand dynamics. ^[5]

NFTs fall into several categories: consumables (like potions), weapons, armor, transportation, pets/sidekicks, and access tokens. Each category offers unique unlockables and creation possibilities, allowing players to design distinctive items. Ownership of these NFTs gives users control over the value, usage, and potential sale of their in-game assets, promoting innovation and a free-market approach. ^[5]

CAH

$CAH is the native token within the Moon Tropica ecosystem, used for various functions, including staking, battle wagers, locked liquidity, and purchasing in-game assets. The token is integral to the game’s economy, with its value linked to DeFi mechanics that support the ecosystem’s growth. ^[6]

Players spend $CAH to engage in mini-games, acquire equipment, or customize characters, with all customized items becoming the creator's or purchaser's sole property. The token is also used to acquire assets and real estate, driving the development of the in-game economy. Governance determines supply and demand, potentially influencing inflation based on limited availability. $CAH also powers battle wagers, where players can bet tokens in duels, risking their entire holdings for potential gains. Spectators can participate by betting on battles, adding another layer to the competitive experience. ^[6]

Tokenomics

CAH has a total supply of 3.5M tokens and has the following allocation: ^[7]

• Community Liquidity Bootstrap: 57%
• Notable Games & Influencers: 20%
• Future Liquidity: 9%
• DEX Liquidity Pools: 10%
• Community Growth: 4%

Staking

Moon Tropica incorporates DeFi elements to reward stakers by offering them a chance to earn passive income through protocol revenue without playing the game actively. Fees from various in-game activities, such as land and property taxes, NFT sales, and toll booths, are distributed daily to $CAH token holders. ^[8][9]

Stakers can deposit their $CAH in reward pools, receiving yields in the form of APY or supplies that can be used to craft upgradeable items. These items, which can be minted as NFTs and sold in-game, may also be kept as trophies, potentially increasing in value due to rarity. The DeFi strategies within Moon Tropica offer multiple opportunities for users to engage passively or actively, contributing to the ecosystem's growth and longevity. ^[8][9]

Governance

Moon Tropica introduces community governance to influence game supply and demand. Players use their $CAH tokens to vote on key events, promoting a sustainable ecosystem with realistic logistics. Governance involves proposing and voting on specific staking pools, crafting rules and special events, and ensuring the community's active participation in the game's development. ^[10]

The $CAH token also serves as a governance token, allowing holders to make decisions through a weighted DAO structure. This includes voting on feature proposals, tax changes, upgrades, and staking rewards. The project aims to maintain a sustainable and collaborative future by involving the community in executive decisions. ^[10]

Funding

On January 8th, 2024, Moon Tropica announced that CAHmunity Ventures completed its latest fundraising round to support the Q1 development timeline for a public Web2 release. The capital raised was intended to fund the creation of a matchmaking engine for players and the integration of a reliable server setup. ^[11]
