# Key Mechanics

HandsNFT AI combines strategic decision-making with verifiable on-chain mechanics to create a dynamic and competitive gaming experience. Here’s how the core mechanics work:

***

1. <mark style="color:yellow;">Claim-Based Rewards System</mark>

* After minting a Hand Card, a timer starts specific to its level.
* Once the timer ends, the Claim button activates, allowing players to compete for available rewards based on pool mechanics.
* Higher levels have longer claim timers but provide access to larger reward opportunities.

***

2. <mark style="color:yellow;">Level-Up Process</mark>

* After successfully claiming, the Level Up button activates.
* Players can attempt to upgrade their Hand Card through a **verifiable on-chain process** with pool-specific success rates, typically ranging from 80% to 30%.
* Successful upgrades unlock access to higher-level pools, while unsuccessful attempts reset the timer, requiring players to wait before making another attempt.
* The leveling-up process incorporates **transparent, algorithmic probability calculations**, ensuring fairness while maintaining strategic depth.

***

3. <mark style="color:yellow;">Reward Distribution & Pool System</mark>

* Rewards are distributed dynamically as minting occurs, ensuring a continuously evolving competition.
* Higher-level pools provide access to proportionally larger reward opportunities, with Diamondhand receiving the most competitive allocations, followed by Steelhand and Sandhand.
* Paperhand does not receive claimable rewards but earns EXP, allowing players to progress to higher levels.

***

4. <mark style="color:yellow;">Anti-Bot Rewards System</mark>

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.
4. Why this matters:

* Prevents bots from gaining an unfair edge
* Protects real players
* Keeps the game skill-based and transparent

***

4. <mark style="color:yellow;">Seasonal Resets & Exclusive Perks</mark>

* Each season introduces a fresh start, requiring players to mint new Hand Cards.
* Diamondhand holders at the end of a season can **opt to migrate** their Hand Card for an **Ethereum-based NFT** as a **recognition-based achievement.**
* Diamondhand NFT holders gain whitelist benefits for future seasons and special in-game privileges as determined by the evolving game mechanics.

***

5. <mark style="color:yellow;">Technological Architecture</mark>

* **Verifiable On-Chain Randomness** – HandsNFT AI uses blockchain based on-chain randomness to ensure a **transparent, tamper-proof, and decentralized level-up process.**
* **AI-Powered Features (In Development)** – AI-driven tools will provide strategic insights and gameplay assistance, enhancing the user experience through data-driven decision-making.

***

6. <mark style="color:yellow;">Game Economy Dynamics</mark>

* 80% of mint proceeds contribute to the reward pools, ensuring a sustainable and competitive ecosystem.
* 20% is allocated for **game development, marketing, infrastructure improvements, and engagement-based incentives.**

***

By removing token dependency and leveraging on-chain fairness, HandsNFT AI can be played even in the worst market conditions and creates a sustainable, engaging, and decentralized gaming experience where every decision matters!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handsnft.gitbook.io/handsnft/getting-started/key-mechanics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
