Card Gamefi

Cards implement GameFi mechanics into the Mystic staking ecosystem.

Cards

When staking $mystic you are able to mutate your staking rewards by applying cards to your pool. You can acquire cards by opening mystic card packs, then you can apply them to your stake to reap the rewards.


Playing Cards

  • Users have 3 total card slots.
  • Users have the option to claim a daily card every 24hrs, This daily card applies a positive or negative multiplier to your DPY for 24hrs.
  • NFT cards are slotted manually. Once played:
    • The card NFT is transferred to the protocol and burned.
    • Its effect begins immediately.
  • Cards cannot be overwritten until they expire or are exhausted.

Duration and Durability

  • Duration: How long the card remains active (e.g., 3 days).
  • Durability: The max staking value a card can affect — e.g., a cap on how much yield it can modify. This helps balance expected returns.
    • Durability scales inversely with $Mystic token price.
    • Higher token prices → lower durability → equalized value per $25 spent.

Types of Effects

Cards come with two layered effects:

  • A base yield multiplier (e.g., +1.25× DPY).
  • A written effect: conditional logic that creates strategy, synergy, or disruption. Examples:
    • If two negative cards are slotted, convert them to positive.
    • Next 3 daily cards are visible before selection.
    • Increase another card’s duration by 24 hours.
    • Reveal tomorrow’s daily draw.

Purchasing Packs

  • Cost: $25 USDC per pack
  • Contents: 5 NFT cards
  • All cards are tradable; only played cards are burned.
  • Revenue from packs is:
    • Used to buy $Mystic from the market
    • Deposited into the staking treasury to sustain yield and ecosystem incentives

Recycling Mechanics

  • Burn 50 unused cards to receive a new card pack (re-roll mechanic)
  • Encourages recycling low-value cards and sets a floor utility value
