Collection Details
There are a total of 1500 Gen 1 Climber NFTs to be minted. By owning one of these NFTs, the game fee to participate in The Ladder is waived. Climbers sold on secondary will maintain their climb status or current position in The Ladder.
Among the 1500 Climbers are five 1/1s. Each of these Climbers will come with their own benefits. Some of these perks include free participation to all of the future Ladder events/mints and a larger initial $CLIMB airdrop. More to come on these special Climbers closer to game launch.
On Mint Day, the hunt will be on to mint the Golden 1/1 Climber, as the lucky minter will be awarded $500 USD.
Game Structure Overview
The Ladder serves as the symbol of the “playing field” consisting of 25 steps or levels. It is broken up into three zones: The Safe Zone, The Danger Zone, and The Cap.
- The Safe Zone will consist of ladder steps 1–10. While in this zone, any wrong answers, or unsuccessful attempts to climb higher will not impact their current accumulated prizes/rewards.
- The Danger Zone will consist of ladder steps 11–20. While in this zone, any wrong answers, or unsuccessful attempts to climb higher will result in a complete forfeit of all accumulated prizes/rewards up to that point.
- The Cap will consist of ladder steps 21–25. At the Cap, Step-Ups and boosts are unable to be used or activated. Climbers are on THEIR OWN.
- Climbers will start on Step 0.
Gameplay Overview
Via our website, a question/puzzle will be presented. Players will have 24 hours to lock in their answers before the correct response is revealed. For each correct response, Climbers move one “step” up the ladder. For each incorrect response, Climbers move one “step” down on the ladder.
Prizes will be present throughtout the ladder and the value of these prizes increase as you ascend and get closer to the top. At any point during a player’s “climb,” they may choose to claim their rewards or prizes they have earned during their current “climb”. However, if a player claims or accepts their prizes, their current streak resets and they will fall to the bottom of the ladder. They will be able to start a re-climb at their initial starting point. If a player chooses to continue their “climb” and attempts to answer the current question, and they do so incorrectly, all prizes earned up until that point will be forfeited. (If in the DANGER ZONE or The Cap).
When a climber successfully reaches the “top” or “Step 25” of the ladder and they answer correctly, they are awarded the GRAND Prize/Treasure and the game immediately ends. All Climbers will be reset to their starting position on the ladder until the next climb begins.
That is a lot of words. Here are a few simple examples:
- Climber is currently on Step 13. The Climber incorrectly answers the current question. Because the step they occupy falls in The Danger Zone(Steps 11–20), they not only fall to Step 12, but also lose all of their prizes earned to date.
- Climber is currently on Step 4. The Climber incorrectly answers the current question. Because the step they occupy falls in The Safe Zone(Steps 1–10), they fall to Step 3, but are able to keep possesion of their prizes earned to date. They will have the option to claim those prizes before attempting the next question.
- Climber is currently on Step 18. The Climber correctly answers the current question. They maintain their possession of all prizes to date and advance to Step 19.
Boosts will be available for purchase as in-game enhancements to help your Climbers during gameplay. They will be available for purchase via our Ladder Store. Separate Mediums detailing the Boosts and Store will be issued shortly following mint to provide more information.
As a quick preview, here are the current boosts that will be available:
TRIPLE PLAY: Boost that allows a player to move up 3 steps after one correct answer on the next participation attempt.
FREEZE: Boost that allows a “save” if a player answers incorrectly. They can hold their position or current step on the ladder. (Does not prevent loss of accumulated prizes/rewards.)
GRIP: Boost that allows players to hold on to all prizes even if they answer incorrectly. (They will still fall one step.)
STEP-UP: Boost that allows players to advance to the next step on the ladder automatically. No climb attempt needed.
BACKPACK: Boost that allows players to store Boosts until use.
$CLIMB
The native currency to The Ladder will be the $CLIMB token. $CLIMB is a standard ERC-20 token with a 10 million maximum supply.
$CLIMB is emitted each time an answer to a question has been submitted. In other words, whenever a player or “Climber” participates in The Ladder, they are rewarded $CLIMB. 70% of this token emission will have a vesting period, denoted as $esCLIMB. $esCLIMB is fully vested at 45 days.
