Tarochi Tokenomics

Tarochi comes with three primary components to its tokenomics model:

Tarochi Monsters: tradeable as NFTs including limited-time monsters, supply-limited monsters and unlimited supply free-to-play monsters
Tarochi Gold: an in-game currency earned through competing against other players globally
Paima ecosystem token: a token that will power the Paima ecosystem across games (whitepaper pending)

Tarochi Monsters

Every wild area in Tarochi contains monsters that you can battle for experience points or to capture. Monsters come in a variety of rarity:

Common and Uncommon: unlimited supply (for F2P players)
Rare, Epic, Legendary: global daily supply limit between players
Limited Edition: can only be caught during a limited-time campaign

This mix means there are always monsters for you to fight no matter when you login, and there is always a chance for free-to-play players to catch rare monsters.

Notably, respawn rates are as follows:

Rare: every hour
Epic: every 4hrs
Legendary: every 17hrs

The basic capture card is always free to purchase at the store, but has a chance at failing to capture a monster. To overcome this, there are whitelist cards that you can purchase with Tarochi Gold:

Common & Uncommon Whitelist Cards: similar to the standard capture card, but are guaranteed to capture the monster
Rare+ Whitelist Cards: allow you to encounter monsters for the corresponding type (ex: epic monsters) even if the supply for that day has expired, and are guaranteed success if used
Limited Edition Whitelist Cards: for promotional campaigns, users who qualify earn a whitelist card to capture the limited-edition monster for free (ex: holders of the underlying NFT project we are collaborating with). Additionally, season pass holders are also whitelisted. Others can purchase a whitelist card from the store

The planned cost for these whitelist cards are:

Common: 50 Tarochi Gold
Uncommon: 100 Tarochi Gold
Rare: 1,100 Tarochi Gold
Epic: 4,500 Tarochi Gold
Legendary: 19,200 Tarochi Gold

With the exception of Limited Edition monsters, each monster has a soft-cap on its level based on its rarity. Once the monster reaches the soft-cap level, it can only be leveled up by fusing copies of the same monster into it. This means even monsters you already own are still valuable, and acts as a deflationary pressure on the new limited supply monsters that appear daily.

Tarochi Gold and Tarochi Silver

Tarochi features two different currency types:

Tarochi Silver: earned from simple activities like the daily login bonus, completing quests and participating in PVP. Tarochi Silver has an unlimited supply and can be used to buy common consumable items in the game like potions or other features that aid towards in-game progress. This IS NOT meant to have financial value on the open market (acts as a reward for easily Sybil-attackable behavior and rewards F2P players).
Tarochi Gold: earned from competitive actions like participating in Arena battles against other players. Tarochi gold has a limited yet growing supply, and allows players to purchase whitelist cards to have a significant edge in capturing rare monsters. This IS meant to have financial value on the open market as it has a limited growth in supply and will trade starting with Arbitrum One. The initial supply of TGOLD will come purely from this pre-order and $3770 worth of TGOLD given to the top players of Jungle Wars: Tower Defense.

Notably, the primary way to earn Tarochi Gold is to participate in Arena battles. Arena battles are a type of PVP where users do not all have to online at the same time. Instead, there are multiple arena matches going on in parallel continuously, and the champion of the arena at any given point earns Tarochi Gold (with participants who are not champions earning Tarochi Silver instead). To semi-active play, the arena is reset every 24hrs. When you battle a player in the arena, you are battles against an AI that controls their monsters, allowing multiple battles against the reigning champion to happen in parallel. The player with the highest score (defined by how well you did) by the end of the rotation becomes the new champion for that slot. Think of it like a fast-paced best player wins tournament. Our goal is to encourage a social fabric such as guilds working together and pooling rewards or players renting out monsters in exchange for a cut of any arena rewards.

The sum of all daily Arena rewards is 19,200 Tarochi Gold - the cost of a legendary whitelist capture card, but is subject to balancing.

If you prefer to battle players directly, you can also send PVP requests to real players (either without stakes, or by betting Tarochi Gold that you will win).

Paima Ecosystem Token

Tarochi is built using Paima Engine a framework to build decentralized autonomous worlds. Paima Studios has created multiple games using the engine, Tarochi being our 5th game deployed to mainnet.

Our team not only plans to continue working on Tarochi and future titles, but also plans to build out the Paima Engine ecosystem where the Paima Ecosystem Token will play a key role in operating any shared infrastructure (sequencers, data availability, storage, etc.), and will also be used to encourage player and developer engagement in the ecosystem and the operation of the Paima Builder DAO.

You can read more about Paima Engine here, with a full whitepaper on the Paima Ecosystem token coming soon.

Genesis Trainer Collection

Pre-ordering for the Genesis Trainer tier gives you a Genesis Trainer NFT which will sent to your wallet once the pre-order is complete and provides multiple benefits including whitelist slots for limited-edition monsters, loyalty rewards and accelerated progress in-game (see Tarochi season pass section above for more information).

Collection layout

Genesis Trainers are capped at a 10,000 supply limit. Every purchase of the Genesis Trainer tier will get you an additional NFT once the pre-order is complete.

Tarochi is based on Tarot Cards, and so each card has the following traits:

Trainer: one of 48 possible trainers featured on the card
Suit: the trainer will be colored red, blue, yellow, green of grey. These are based on the 4 Minor Arcana of tarot cards. Based on Tarochi lore, monster types are based on the color associated with the element of each minor arcana. Notably, Wands (Fire) are red, Cups (Water) are blue, Swords (Air) are yellow, Pentacles (Earth) are green and skeptics who don't believe in tarot cards are grey.
Frame: every card is placed inside a frame representing rarity (the same frames used for monster rarity in-game. Learn more about monster rarity in the Tarochi Tokenomics section). Red is common, purple is uncommon, blue is rare, green is epic and yellow is legendary.
Rank: each card has a rank from 1 to 10, following by page, knight, queen, king forming 14 possibilities (note: this is different than the 13 in standard 52-card decks)

For every increase in rarity of the frame, one rank is removed per trainer. (ex: for the golden frame, there will only be one rank 3 for a given trainer). To round it down to 10,000 NFTs, 80 red frame cards will be removed at random

This gives the following distribution:

FrameCard countRed Frame3280 CardsPurple Frame2688 CardsBlue Frame2016 CardsGreen Frame1344 CardsYellow Frame672 Cards

The visual rarity of these cards does not impact gameplay (at least initially) and all cards regardless of rarity receive the Genesis Trainer perks

Roadmap

Tarochi is already a complete game in its current form, but we a lot planned to continue growing the autonomous world of Tarochi. Unlike other games, Tarochi is fully decentralized and anybody can build tools on top of the Tarochi world or propose changes to the game rule. It is up to users of the game to decide the canonical game rules, and different sets of game rules will share the global Genesis Trainer NFT collection as well as possibly monsters and other assets like Tarochi Gold. Our goal at Paima Studios will be to foster a community around the development of this world and help increase the connectedness and liquidity of the assets of these worlds with the rest of the crypto ecosystem.

Our team has spent a lot of time making the modifications and deployment of the base game as easy as possible, and will be releasing all the code for the game state machine, game node API and all other software for Tarochi. This will enable anybody to easily create new clients with different UIs and features, new tools like explorers to visualize the game world, propose changes to the game rules and more. Importantly, it means unlike web2 games, the autonomous world of Tarochi can live on forever as all the data for its reconstructions lives onchain, and anybody can self-host the game locally making the MMO still playable as long as a single fan exists. You can learn more about the technology that power this here.
