In Moon Karts, rewards aren’t handed out just for showing up—they’re built on skill, consistency, NFT quality, and governance participation. The more elements you nail, the more you earn. Here's a breakdown of how the system works, and how you can maximize your return.
What Determines Your Earnings
Earnings are calculated via four pillars:
Skill: Winning races & proving ability
Time: The hours invested in racing
NFT Quality: Using high-grade karts, parts & drivers
Staking Governance Tokens (COLONY): Those who stake receive higher reward yields.
Without all four, you fall behind. But hit them, and you’re among the top earners.
Moon Karts allocates COLONY reward tokens daily, distributing portions to several “pools”:
| Pool | Share of Daily COLONY Rewards |
|---|---|
| Orbitals Pool | 40% |
| Ranking Pool | 25% |
| COLONY tokens found on track | 10% |
| Referral Pool | 5% |
| Seasonal Rewards Pool | 20% |
Orbitals Pool: Earn via “Orbitals” you collect in-race (and finish with), plus your gear/NFT quality boosts how many you can bring home.
Ranking Pool: Leaderboard performance both daily and seasonally.
COLONY on the track: Pick up COLONY tokens during races and hold on to them until you finish (and win).
Seasonal Pool: A 10-day cycle, taking snapshots of rankings, rewarding consistency over bursts.
Invest in good NFTs: Drivers, parts, karts matter.
Stake COLONY tokens: This pushes your multiplier up.
Race often, and smartly: Focus on leaderboards & consistent performance.
Use referrals strategically: If you can refer real players who spend legit, that pool adds up.
Watch for Seasonal resets: Ten-day cycles incentivize staying active and staying sharp.
