🪙 Update on rewards and payout economy
Many of you noticed the reduction in prize pools. These changes were made a few weeks ago. We are sharing this explanation now to rely on stable metrics and balanced product decisions.
How the economy works
The project economy is built on real revenue. Before rewards are distributed, the funds go through taxes, operational expenses, and net profit formation. Only after that, they are allocated to events, quests, social activities, and referral payouts.
We also released a page with a detailed explanation of where event rewards come from and how profit is distributed. You can find it in the Profit Distribution section in our GitBook 👉 https://docs.playhattori.io/project-structure/profit-distribution
What changed
At the early stage, we used an aggressive reward model — 80,000–100,000 pre-TGE tokens per week. After analyzing the metrics, we saw that the reward level was higher than the real economic balance. The pools were adjusted to match the real project economy.
Our goal is to move to a stable post-TGE structure. The token multiplier will gradually decrease to zero. Only economically supported rewards will remain in the system.
Current reward model
USDT — around $150 per week, distributed among top participants. These are real payouts.
Pre-TGE tokens — are credited with a ~10x multiplier, fixed on balance, and unlocked after TGE through a vesting system.
Why this logic
If TGE happened today, rewards would be paid only in tokens, without multipliers, in a dollar value similar to the current USDT payouts. Right now, participants receive real payouts plus bonus token accumulation.
Before TGE, USDT and the multiplier remain, with gradual reduction. After TGE, USDT will be removed, the economy will move fully to the token, and multipliers will disappear. The economic value of rewards does not decrease — only the form of payment changes.
Conclusion
The reduction of pools is necessary for a sustainable economy and to protect tokenomics. Current participants remain in a strong position: real payouts, bonus tokens, and early access to the project economy.
