## What is a Meta Trading Game?

Clankermon is combining classic creature-collect trading game mechanics with live market dynamics to create a fun playful social gaming experience that gives players exposure to assets with potential upside, incentivizing onchain trading and education with tangible game rewards. <br>

Trading & other defi related activity have small fees, which contribute to the game rewards pool and certain activities will have other ingame benefits.

{% hint style="info" %}
eg. 1% fee on swaps, 50% of fees go to game rewards pool
{% endhint %}

Everything in the clankermon universe revolves around the native token $CLANKERMON.\
It is required for minting, reviving & will be the currency of exchange in future trading and marketplace features.\
\
Players can compete for these rewards by completing quests, battling clankermon or taking their clankermon into dungeons - each of these will carry risk, clankermon can die and revive penalities will increase on subsequent deaths, so play wisely.

{% hint style="info" %}
These mechanics are currently in development - Quests is scheduled to go live between the 17th and 24th of February, timelines for battles & dungeons are TBD
{% endhint %}

We are excited about the "Meta Trading" and live market related mechanics as they add new variables to a classic format, new tokens become new mons, legendary mons rise and fall with market cycles adding a layer of unpredictability that constantly feed into the play meta.&#x20;

While we haven't dialed in the specifics yet, ideas we are playing with involve:

* Reveal rate variance - larger market caps have smaller drop rates
* Real time buffs & Nerfs - $BANKR is pumping? Bankr mons have boosted stats

## Building in Public

Everything we are doing with clankermon is downstream of[ deploying a token with clanker on warpcast](https://warpcast.com/matthewfox/0xf1285c72). Most of our current ideas are "strong opinions loosely held" - we are building everthing in real time & building the clankermon universe chapter by chapter.

We are confident in our current approach & roadmap but remain open to new directions, have ideas? let us know in the [official clankermon channel on Warpcast.](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/clankermon)
