# How It Works

**The HandsNFT AI Game** combines strategic gameplay with blockchain technology to deliver a thrilling experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to dive into the action:

***

### Step 1: Connect Your Wallet <a href="#id-96cd" id="id-96cd"></a>

* Visit the platform: <https://handsnft.fun/>
* Connect your **Rabby,** **MetaMask** or any supported wallet.

### Step 2: Mint Your Hand Card <a href="#id-5213" id="id-5213"></a>

* Navigate to the **“Mint”** section.
* Enter the number of Hand Cards you want to mint and proceed.\
  **Remember!** The more and higher-level Hand Cards you own, the greater your chances of earning higher rewards!

### Step 3: Claim Your Rewards <a href="#id-9f35" id="id-9f35"></a>

* Once you mint your Hand Cards, the timer starts counting down.
* Each level has a predefined timer duration, and once it expires, the Claim button will be activated under your Hand Card.
* Click the Claim button to compete for available rewards based on the pool mechanics.

* #### **Anti-Bot Rewards System**

  **To preserve fairness in HandsNFT AI, we’ve introduced a new protection layer:**

  **1. Rewards Pool:**\
  Every time you **claim**, your rewards are now held in a personal pool instead of being instantly sent to your wallet.

  **2. Withdrawal Timer:**\
  You can only withdraw your rewards after a short cooldown — the exact time is shown in the app.

  **3. AI Detection in Action:**\
  During this period, our **AI-based detection tool** actively scans **all wallets in real time**, identifying suspicious behavior patterns.\
  Any wallet flagged for automation, botting, or irregular actions will be **blocked from withdrawing**.

### Step 4: Level Up Your Hand Card <a href="#id-5d4e" id="id-5d4e"></a>

* After successfully claiming rewards from your Hand Card, the Level Up button will be activated.&#x20;
* To access higher-level pools, you can attempt to upgrade your Hand Card through a verifiable on-chain process.
* Leveling up is influenced by a **transparent, on-chain calculation system** that introduces an element of variability while maintaining fairness and decentralization. The probability of a successful upgrade ranges from 80% to 35%, with slight adjustments in each season’s game mechanics.
* If an upgrade attempt is unsuccessful, you can wait for the Claim Timer to expire, claim available rewards again, and then make another attempt at leveling up. While upgrading involves a **measurable probability**, the overall game progression remains centered around **player strategy and timely actions** to maximize participation.

### Step 5: Migrate <a href="#id-554e" id="id-554e"></a>

* When any of your Hand Cards reach Level 4, also known as the DiamondHand level, you have the option to migrate it.
* A migrated Hand Card **can no longer claim rewards**, signifying its completion in the current season.
* At the end of the season, each owner of a migrated DiamondHand will be eligible to receive a unique NFT from HandsNFT AI’s exclusive collection on the Ethereum network. These NFTs serve as a **recognition of participation** and will be distributed transparently through an on-chain process.
* NFTs will be sent directly to eligible users’ wallets, ensuring fair and decentralized distribution. Ownership of these NFTs grants **automatic WL (whitelist) access** for the next seasons and may provide additional benefits in future special seasons, as announced by the HandsNFT AI team.
