Leaderboards and Profiles

Space Monkey has a leaderboard system in place that allows players to view the top 10 players as well as the 9 players surrounding a user’s position on the leaderboard. As further levels/maps are developed and released, separate leaderboards will be integrated for them respectively. This gives players the opportunity to not only be in #1 on one leaderboard, but up to 5 different ones. This also means that this player would be eligible to claim all 5 rewards for being in this position.

The weekly casual leaderboard will include both premium (Gold Bananas) and non-premium (Bananas) in-game currency as rewards for coming out on top. This is due to the fact that powerups would give an advantage to those willing to “pay to win.” These can be exported for $MONKE or used in the in- game shop to acquire powerups. The competitive leaderboard will offer more valuable prizes such as $MONKE, stablecoins, NFTs and tokens provided by other projects to reward players based purely on skill.

A feature that will be built into the game will be the ability to select other players names on the leaderboard and view their profiles. In the profile section, you will be able to see what NFTs that user has equipped and offers players the opportunity to show off their style and collection in-game and not only on secondary marketplaces. Friend adding and direct messaging in-app is a possibility that is being considered.

The first tournaments will take place in Q1 2022. The first will be specific weekend-only events with $USDT and $MONKE prizes for winning. In Q2, a new level generation system will be developed that will allow for weekly leaderboards to be created and have weekly prizes for coming in first place. Our aim is to expand the kinds of prizes given to other tokens and NFTs as soon as possible. Since the game is free to play and there is no entry cost associated with getting a score up on the leaderboard and participating in tournaments, this provides the opportunity for players that can not afford or are not willing to purchase the token requirement to convert points to earn regardless. A player could use won USDT to purchase the MONKE or NFTs or stack won MONKE until there is a sufficient amount required to be eligible to access the Play To Earn feature.
